✅ SayPro: Staff Training Participation Goal – Data Verification

🎯 Quarterly Goal

Ensure that at least 80% of staff involved in data collection or reporting attend a data verification training session during the current quarter.

---

📌 Why This Matters

• Ensures consistent application of data verification protocols across teams.
• Builds staff confidence in collecting, validating, and reporting accurate data.
• Minimizes the risk of errors, inconsistencies, and unverified data entering reports.
• Strengthens overall organizational data integrity and stakeholder trust.

---

🛠️ Implementation Strategy

1. Identify Target Staff

• Compile a list of all staff directly involved in:
  • Data collection (field officers, survey teams)
  • Data entry and management (analysts, M&E officers)
  • Report preparation (program staff, communications, finance)
• Confirm the total number of eligible staff (this becomes the denominator for calculating the 80%).

---

2. Schedule Training Sessions

• Offer multiple sessions (in-person and virtual) across the quarter to accommodate different schedules.
• Include:
  • Introduction to SayPro’s data verification protocols
  • Practical exercises on identifying and resolving data discrepancies
  • Department-specific examples and case studies

Suggested Format:

• 📚 Theory Module: Overview of protocols, tools, and expectations
• 🧪 Practice Module: Simulated verification tasks or review of real data
• 💬 Discussion/Q&A: Clarify doubts, collect staff feedback

---

3. Track Participation

• Maintain a Training Attendance Log with:
  • Staff name
  • Department
  • Role
  • Date of training session attended
  • Trainer initials
• Automatically calculate the % trained by comparing attendance numbers to the total number of relevant staff.

---

4. Promote and Monitor Progress

• Communicate the 80% target across departments to build accountability.
• Send monthly progress updates to department heads and team leads.
• Recognize departments that hit the target early (in newsletters or internal announcements).

---

5. Ensure Follow-Up

• Staff who do not attend by the end of the quarter must be scheduled for make-up sessions early in the next quarter.
• Offer brief refresher sessions or online self-paced modules for those who need additional support.

📌 End-of-Quarter Review

• By the final week of the quarter:
  • Publish a Training Coverage Report summarizing participation rates
  • Highlight any departments falling below 80% and schedule make-up plans
  • Gather feedback on training quality to enhance future sessions
