1 Assess your training needs

Before you schedule any training session, you need to assess your training needs and objectives. What are the skills and knowledge gaps that you want to address? Who are the target audience and how many participants do you expect? What are the best methods and formats for delivering the training content? How will you measure the effectiveness and impact of the training? Answering these questions will help you define the scope, duration, frequency, and budget of your training sessions.

Although It is important to try and schedule training and exercises in advance to minimize impact on normal operations, it is also to make sure the training and exercises happen. Remember, real emergencies don’t care about your operations, they are the disruptions that you must train for.

I have found success with setting a day a month for training. As an example, I picked the second Wednesday of each month for Safety Training. And I keep the training section between 30 and 45 min. except once-a-year Safety Stand Down / ORM day.

Best practices for scheduling training sessions to minimize operational disruption involve proactive planning, clear communication, and flexibility. Strategic Timing: Schedule sessions during off-peak hours or slower periods. Clear Communication: Notify employees in advance with detailed information. Shorter Segments: Break training into manageable sessions. Flexibility: Offer varied timing options to accommodate different schedules. Downtime : Use downtime effectively and provide resources for self-study. By incorporating these practices, organizations can optimize training effectiveness while mitigating interference with day-to-day operations.

2 Align your training with your operational goals

Once you have identified your training needs and objectives, you need to align them with your operational goals and priorities. How does the training support your strategic vision and mission? How does it relate to your key performance indicators and metrics? How does it affect your customer satisfaction and retention? How does it improve your quality and compliance standards? Aligning your training with your operational goals will help you justify the value and relevance of your training sessions to your stakeholders and employees.

3 Communicate your training plan

After you have aligned your training with your operational goals, you need to communicate your training plan to your employees, managers, and customers. You need to inform them of the purpose, benefits, and expectations of the training sessions, as well as the schedule, location, and resources involved. You also need to solicit their feedback and input on the training plan and address any concerns or questions they may have. Communicating your training plan will help you build trust and engagement among your employees, managers, and customers, and reduce any resistance or confusion.

Scheduling training sessions that minimize disruption to operations is a critical balancing act. In my experience, best practice is to create a training calendar well in advance, share it with teams, managers & stakeholders. Go the extra mile to block calendars of nominees giving all the details so nominees can be prepared. Clear communication ensures everyone knows when training sessions will occur. This ensures maximum attendance. For example, IT department in my organization is rolling out a new software system. As the L&D Manager, i send out a detailed training schedule, including dates, times, topics, learning objectives & outcomes. This minimizes surprises and allows employees to plan their work around the sessions.

4 Optimize your training schedule

When you have communicated your training plan, you need to optimize your training schedule to minimize disruption to operations. You need to consider factors such as the availability and preferences of your employees, the workload and seasonality of your operations, the urgency and frequency of your training needs, and the flexibility and accessibility of your training methods and formats. You also need to balance the trade-offs between the quality and quantity of your training sessions, and the costs and benefits of your training investments. Optimizing your training schedule will help you maximize the learning outcomes and minimize the operational impacts of your training sessions.

5 Monitor and adjust your training schedule

Finally, you need to monitor and adjust your training schedule as needed to respond to any changes or challenges in your operations or learning environment. You need to track and measure the attendance, participation, satisfaction, and performance of your employees, as well as the feedback, results, and outcomes of your training sessions. You also need to review and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of your training methods and formats, and the alignment and relevance of your training content and objectives. Monitoring and adjusting your training schedule will help you ensure the quality and continuity of your training sessions, and the improvement and sustainability of your operations.

To schedule training sessions with minimal disruption, first analyse each department's peak hours and target their less busy times. Collaborate closely with HODs to identify the most suitable periods for training that don't interfere with critical operations. Planning ahead for a skeleton crew can ensure essential tasks are continuously managed. This approach of tailored scheduling aligns training with operational efficiency, ensuring smooth business continuity while addressing learning needs.

Some trainings can be recorded or made in animation which could be of not more than 30 minutes and put in the LMS. Each member can go through the same at his/her own convenience. The videos should be mandatory and should count in the performance rating.
