While it is important to assess the training and development needs of a new staff member within their first 2 weeks of employment, it is not always possible to fully identify all needs within this time frame. It may take longer for some needs to become apparent or for the employee to become fully comfortable in their new role. Additionally, some training and development needs may only become apparent once the employee has had more time to settle into their position and gain more experience. It is important for managers to continue to monitor and address training and development needs beyond the first 2 weeks of employment.
