HUMAN RESOURCE

TRAINING
 WHAT IS HUMAN RESOURCE TRAINING?
• Human resource management regards training and development as a
function concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the job
performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings.
IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE TRAINING
• A training program allows you to strengthen those skills that each employee
needs to improve. A development program brings all employees to a higher
level so they all have similar skills and knowledge. This helps reduce any weak
links within the company who rely heavily on others to complete basic work
tasks.
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF TRAINING IN HUMAN RESOURCE
PLANNING?
• In order to maintain a competitive edge in the marketplace, your company
must invest in the training and development of your employees. Human
Resources Development (HRD) focuses on both training employees for their
current jobs and developing skills for their future roles and responsibilities.
TRAINING PROGRAMS BOOST EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION

• Employees appreciate being able to build new skills, improve their job
performance and potentially evolve towards more challenging roles. It is
interesting to note that ongoing education is valued by employees from all
age groups as key to staying relevant in the job market.
DEVELOPING TALENT IS THE BEST WAY TO STAFF

• From the HR perspective, developing talent is the best way to staff a company’s
roles.

• First, it is always cheaper to source skills internally.

• Second, it is usually simpler and quicker to bring an internal hire up to speed – as the
newbie already knows everything there is to know about the company.
DEVELOP A CULTURE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
• One of the greatest ways to study is to learn from peers and managers.
Unfortunately, that is also the most complicated learning method to establish
throughout the company. However, it is not enough to engage a training
consultant to provide a couple of one-off courses. We are talking about every
day on-the-job learning.
LEARNING BY COLLABORATING AND INTERACTING WITH
PEERS
• Digital workplaces provide ways for employees to collaborate on work
projects and interact with each other regardless of their location.
• Social collaboration tools help in searching for answers, sourcing skills and
experience, and interacting with peers throughout the company.
CREATE, MAINTAIN AND ENRICH THE COMPANY
KNOWLEDGE BASE
• Perhaps the greatest benefit of a digital workplace for employee
training lies in its knowledge management capabilities.
• Training materials, like documents, presentations and recorded training
sessions, can be stored in a dedicated workspace in your company intranet,
making them accessible to immediate search, access and use by employees.
COMMUNICATION TOOLS FOR COACHING
OPPORTUNITIES
• Communications channels in a digital workplace that are synchronous (like
chats and video-conferencing) or asynchronous (like activity streams
conversations and forums) can be used to enhance the training and coaching
experience for all employees, whatever their location.
DETECT TRAINING NEEDS

• A company intranet will allow you to survey employees and managers and
identify the gaps in employee skills.
• For example, if all your employees need basic Excel skills, the easiest way to
identify the gap between the reality and the expectation is to conduct an
anonymous self-assessment (or an assessment by team leaders) and
consolidate the results at department level.
