Needs Assessment
1.
Learning problem or opportunity: The courses at Boardman Corporate
University does not provide training on the specific information or
training needed to give a private guided tour of the botanical gardens
at the resort.
2.
What is currently available? The course offered related to this area is
“Customer Service in Hospitality”. This gives the employees basic
training in catering to customers at the resort.
3.

botanical gardens of Baderman Island Resort due to the unique

Needs Assessment Continued
4.
Gap analysis: Employees have ample training in basic customer
service situations such as dealing with difficult customers and
developing listening skills. However these employees do not have
training that would assist them in guiding customers through the
offered tours of the island’s botanical gardens.
5.
Recommended solution for filling the gap. Employees need a
course that builds on their customer service knowledge and
applies it to the specific skills needed to safely guide visitors
through the island’s botanical sites such as plant identification,
history of the gardens, island flora and fauna, and basic first aid.
