To construct a training calendar, you could use the following sources of information:
-interviews/surveys with supervisors/managers
-interviews/surveys with employees
-employee performance appraisal documents
-organization’s strategic planning documents
-organization/department operational plans
-organization/department key performance indicators
-customer complaints
-critical incidents
-quality data
With mandays training, if you are talking about participant days spent in training, simply multiply the number of days of training by the number of training participants.
For example, if the training is for half a day and there are 50 participants:
Person Days = 0.5 X 50 = 25 person days
I hope this helps.
