Study Notes
Training and Development (T&D)
- T&D is a continuous effort to improve employee competency and organizational performance.
- Training focuses on the current job, providing knowledge and skills for immediate tasks.
- Development focuses on future growth, preparing employees for changing organizational needs.
- Benefits of T&D:
- Higher employee engagement and productivity
- Better conformance to performance and quality standards
- Greater customer satisfaction
- Increased sales and profits
- Enhancement of corporate image
Principles of Learning
- Individual Differences: People learn at different rates and levels.
- Motivation: Motivation plays a crucial role in the learning process.
- Active Practice: Active participation and practice enhance learning and skill acquisition.
- Mass vs. Distributed Practice: Spacing out learning sessions can be more effective than cramming.
- Whole vs. Part Learning: Consider teaching material as a whole or dividing it into parts.
- Transfer of Training: Trainers should ensure that learned knowledge is applied in the workplace.
- Knowledge of Results: Provide feedback on performance to help trainees improve.
- Reinforcements: Positive or negative consequences can influence learning.
Factors Influencing T&D
- Top management support
- Shortage of skilled workers
- Technological advancements
- Global complexity
- Learning styles
ADDIE Training Model
- Analysis: Identify the problem or training need within the organization.
- Design: Translate the training goal into a learning design with a detailed outline.
- Development: Choose delivery methods, create learning materials, and evaluate their quality.
- Implementation: Deliver the training program.
- Evaluation: Gather feedback, formally assess the program's effectiveness, and make improvements.
Stages In A Training Program
- Determining training needs (TNA):
- Needs Analysis: Identifies the type and extent of training required. This involves three sub-analyses:
- Organizational Analysis: Examines organizational factors impacting performance.
- Job/Task Analysis: Analyzes tasks performed by each employee and conditions affecting their performance.
- Individual/Trainee/Person Analysis: Evaluates individual employee performance to identify training needs.
- Training Need Indicators: Examples include:
- Organizational plans, employee records, work flow issues, staff selection policies, morale factors, job knowledge gaps, communication failures, and supervisory practices.
- Needs Analysis: Identifies the type and extent of training required. This involves three sub-analyses:
- Establishing goals and objectives:
- Clearly define what trainees are expected to learn, under what conditions, and to what level of proficiency.
- Select T&D Methods and Delivery Systems:
- Considerations for selecting methods:
- Group composition, program objectives and content, subject matter, available leadership, facilities and resources, time frame, and cost.
- Choosing the best training methods: Select training methods that best suit organizational needs and employee characteristics.
- Considerations for selecting methods:
