I'm a little torn between the focus groups and the performance reviews. Both could provide useful data, but I think the focus groups will give you more qualitative insights that you can then use to inform the training program design. That seems like the best approach here.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Facilitating those focus groups is key to identifying the specific performance objectives. You need that direct employee feedback to understand where the gaps are and what needs to be addressed.

Definitely focus groups. That's going to give you the most comprehensive view of the current culture and challenges. Reading exit surveys and interviews might give you some helpful context, but the focus groups will really let you dig into the specifics.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm debating between the focus groups and evaluating performance reviews. Both could provide valuable insights, but I'm leaning more towards the focus groups to get a more direct and open dialogue.
