focusing on their structure, effectiveness and alignment with company goals. Through a
mixed methods approach, including qualitative interviews with HR professionals and
quantitative training needs assessment (TNA) survey of 200 managerial employees, the
research identifies strengths and gaps. findings reveal that while Apex’s program covers
essential skills, they lak customisation for department specific needs And have limitations in
feedback mechanisms and orientation effectiveness. recommendations address enhancing
program alignment with strategic objectives, fostering a culture of continuous learning and
improving TNA processes. This report provides valuable insights for optimizing the
company’s training programs, with implications for HR professionals in improving employee
engagement, retention and overall performance in the footwear industry.
