Planned Workflow (01-10-2025 to 01-15-2025)

Steps for Conducting Follow-up Interviews

1. Identify Key Participants

• Criteria for Selection:
  • Participants who provided substantial or highly relevant feedback in the survey.
  • Those who have shown interest in discussing specific aspects of the training in more detail.
  • Participants from different departments or roles to gather a diverse range of perspectives.
• Process:
  • Review survey responses to identify individuals with strong or insightful feedback.
  • Prioritize individuals who may have both positive and constructive feedback to create a balanced view of the training program.

2. Schedule Interviews

• Method of Contact:
  • Email: Send a personalized email inviting participants to a follow-up interview.
  • Phone/Message: Follow up with participants via phone or messaging (if necessary).

Sample Email for Interview Invitation:

• Schedule Based on Availability: Ensure interviews are scheduled during convenient times for participants, considering time zone differences for virtual sessions.

3. Prepare Interview Questions

• Design a set of structured questions to guide the conversation while allowing space for participants to elaborate on their experiences.

Sample Interview Questions:

• “Can you share more about your experience with the training content? What worked well and what could be improved?”
• “How did you find the delivery of the training? Were there any aspects that made it more engaging for you?”
• “Were there any topics or skills you felt needed more coverage during the training?”
• “How do you plan to apply what you learned in your role?”
• “What suggestions do you have for improving future training sessions?”
• Probes: Have follow-up probes ready to dive deeper if needed, such as:
  • “Can you elaborate on that point?”
  • “Why did you find that challenging?”

4. Conduct the Interviews

• Ensure the interview environment is quiet and comfortable, whether virtual or in-person.
• Record (with consent) or take detailed notes during the interview for accurate data capture.
• Keep the interviews conversational, ensuring the participant feels comfortable sharing honest feedback.

5. Analyze Insights

• Review the recorded responses and notes, identifying common themes and actionable insights.
• Focus on both positive feedback and areas for improvement, looking for patterns or suggestions that could significantly impact training design.

6. Compile Summary Report

• Create a summary report highlighting key takeaways from the interviews, such as:
  • Strengths of the training program.
  • Areas where participants felt more support or resources were needed.
  • Ideas for improving content, delivery, or materials.
