Training and Development.
An organization’s human resources are
its greatest asset. Therefore, it is essential to prioritize training and
development for these resources. The recognition of the employee efforts by the
company is crucial for organizational success and effectiveness. Effective
workforce development requires the creation and implementation of training
programs that meet the needs of both employees and the organization. Such
programs should equip employees to have access to the appropriate technological
skills necessary to enhance job performance and prevent skill obsolescence. In
addition, the policies and practices that support employee training and
development can impact employees' activity levels, providing more opportunities
for employee participation and increasing commitment to the organization
The practice of training and
development demonstrates to employees that the organization values their
professional and personal growth. The practice of training and development
demonstrates an organization’s commitment to the professional growth of its
employees. It can be concluded that effective training and development can lead
to positive changes that help to achieve company goals if human resources
capitalize on these opportunities
Training
According to the Dessler (2020),
training is the process of acquiring essential skills by employees to perform
their work efficiently. Employee training provides practical knowledge and its
application in a company’s work environment, which leads to an increase in work
productivity. The primary purpose of training is to assist the organization in
achieving its desired goals.
The training program consist of three
phases, such as,
1. The first phase involves a training
needs analysis to gather information and determine the necessity of a training
program.
2. The second phase focuses on designing
the training environment and methods required to achieve the training program.
This phase is known as the development of the training program.
3. The third phase is the evaluation of
the training program, which involves testing and assessing whether the
implemented program has successfully met its stated goals
Organizations invest in employee
training to enhance the skills of their existing employees and to ensure that
new hires possess the necessary knowledge and abilities. Training is a
structured approach to learning and development that benefits individuals,
groups, and organizations. It involves a series of activities designed to
promote knowledge and skill acquisition, which in turn contributes to the
overall well-being and performance of employees and organizations, as well as
society at large. According to Manju and
Suresh (2011), training helps organizations to remain competitive by improving
the quality of their goods and services through the enhancement of their
employees’ technical skills
Organizations must provide ongoing training
to improve worker skills as the business environment constantly evolves. To create
an effective training program for an employee, it is important to first analyze
their training and development requirements. This can be accomplished by conducting
a performance evaluation to determine their current level of expertise and identify
the areas that require improvement. Once the evaluation is complete, the
training program can be tailored to meet the employee’s specific needs and
promote their professional growth
Development
According to Kurniawati (2020), human
resource development refers to the intentional actions taken by an organization
to enhance the competency of its human resources in the long run. It ensures
that the human resource department has the necessary skills and abilities to fulfil
the requirements of their roles, which in turn leads to better individual
performance and overall organizational growth
The development was carried out using
the following strategies, such as,
1. Management development methods
aligned with the company’s strategic plans.
2. To evaluate and promote employees,
organizations use the 9-box grid to assess competence and potential for higher
positions.
3. To provide managers with on-the-job
training and rotation, coaching, action learning, and stretch assignments can
be utilized effectively.
4. Off-the-job management training and
development techniques include methods carried out outside of the work
environment, such as, seminars, university programs, role-playing, and cooperating
universities
The term development refers to the
process of acquiring new knowledge and skills to foster growth. Organizations
offer their employee development program to enhance their capabilities. In
today’s business environment, employee development has become an increasing and
strategic priority. Therefore, organizations must invest in continuous employee
development to maintain their employees and ensure the success of the
organization
Training and development offer
benefits such as improved employee performance, increased productivity, adherence
to quality standards, consistent work, and reduced employee turnover. They also
foster innovation, risk-taking, and an improved organizational reputation
