ensuring successful compliance within the existing system of the Best Care. The purpose of the

2.2 Expected Benefits
It will be helpful in motivating the employees and staffs of the Best care to adopt the new
legislation and accept it as a part of the organization that can be helpful in boosting the
operational activities of the organization. Training allows the staffs to look the matter from
different ways and from different perspective, and indulge in a program where several members
will express their point of view on the same context. A time taking process has not any benefit in
the current situation as the output can only be measured after successful accomplishment.
2.3 Potential Risks
There are numbers of risks associated with the development of a training program that
includes less number of employees attending program, escalation in the schedule, less effective
training materials, lack of contribution by the trainer, lack of formal contracting, and lack of
marketing and provision. Lack of contribution and dedication by the learner, no process drawing,
complexity, and poor planning are the possible cause those could possibly affect the deployment
of the training.
2.4 Product Risks
The deployment of training program in failure manner could limit the understanding of
the new imposed legislations and thus, possibly affect the overall execution of the project.
2.5 Ethical Issues
The proposed solution does not abide any law as, according to law everyone have the
right to information and employees are not bound with any restriction that will have to enter the
training program. PMI code of ethics does not bind any relation with the training program and
hence, the proposed solution has theoretically not any ethical issue. However; practically the

employees might not be comfortable with the change and thus, they could impose the imposing
of new legislations.
