There are many alternatives to training when solving performance problems. Identify and briefly describe three such alternatives.

Three alternatives to training for solving performance problems are:
(1) feedback-give employees performance feedback so they can compare their performance to their goal and regulate their own behaviour and performance;
(2) goal setting-help the employee set performance goals that are specific and challenging as a way of increasing their motivation; and
(3) practice-if it is a skill the employee has not used in some time, instead of formal training they might just require some practice to refresh their skills.
Students may indeed identify other alternative issues causing the gap in performance, including but not limited to rewards not congruent with desired behaviour, management practices, job design, etc.
