Training needs at different organizational levels within a professional services firm

States that owing to a vast change in commercial activity, organizational strategy and global competition, the skills needs in the organization of the 1990s are quite different from those needed 20 years ago. In consequence, training needs have changed as well. Examines whether women and men at similar organizational levels report the same training needs; whether women and men at different organizational levels report similar or different training needs; and whether training needs reported by the most senior organizational level convey something about the culture or strategic direction of the organization. Analyses data collected from an employee survey within a single large professional services firm. Discusses the results.
