V. Conclusion

5. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
• Refers to educational activities within a company created to
enhance the knowledge and skills of employees while providing
information and instruction on how to better perform specific
tasks.
• It describes the formal, ongoing efforts that are made within
organizations to improve the performance and self-fulfillment of
their employees through a variety of educational methods and
programs.

6. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
• It is a process of working with employees to improve, enhance,
refine and hone existing skills, and to also develop newer ones, in
support of the organization’s mission and goals.
• It is often referred to as professional development — is the
process during which employees, with the support of their
employer, go through professional training to improve their
skills and grow their knowledge.

7. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
1. Orientations
Orientation training is vital in ensuring the success of new
employees. Whether the training is conducted through an
employee handbook, a lecture, or a one-on-one meeting with a
supervisor, newcomers should receive information on the
company's history and strategic position.
2. Lectures
A verbal method of presenting information, lectures are
particularly useful in situations when the goal is to impart the
same information to a large number of people at one time.

8. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
3. Case Study
The case method is a non-directed method of study whereby
students are provided with practical case reports to analyze. The
case report includes a thorough description of a simulated or real-
life situation.
4. Role Playing
In role playing, students assume a role outside of themselves and
play out that role within a group. A facilitator creates a scenario
that is to be acted out by the participants under the guidance of
the facilitator.

9. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
5. Simulations
Games and simulations are structured competitions and
operational models that emulate real-life scenarios.
6. Computer-Based Training
Computer-based training (CBT) involves the use of computers
and computer-based instructional materials as the primary
medium of instruction. Computer-based training programs are
designed to structure and present instructional materials and to
facilitate the learning process for the student.

10. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
7. Self-Instruction
Self-instruction describes a training method in which the students
assume primary responsibility for their own learning. Unlike
instructor- or facilitator-led instruction, students retain a greater
degree of control regarding topics, the sequence of learning, and the
pace of learning.
8. Audiovisual Training
Audiovisual training methods include television, films, and videotapes.
Like case studies, role playing, and simulations, they can be used to
expose employees to "real world" situations in a time-and cost-effective
manner.

11. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
9. Team-Building Exercises
Team building is the active creation and maintenance of effective work
groups with similar goals and objectives. Not to be confused with the
informal, ad-hoc formation and use of teams in the workplace, team
building is a formal process of building work teams and formulating
their objectives and goals, usually facilitated by a third-party
consultant.
10. Apprenticeships and Internships
Apprenticeships are a form of on-the-job training in which the trainee
works with a more experienced employee for a period of time, learning
a group of related skills that will eventually qualify the trainee to
perform a new job or function.

12. COMMON TRAINING METHODS
11. Job Rotation
Another type of experience-based training is job rotation, in
which employees move through a series of jobs in order to gain a
broad understanding of the requirements of each.

13. 5 MOST INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS
1. INTEGRATE ELEMENTS OF GAMIFICATION
 Gaming for learning combines elements of fun, with
instructional design, to create a training platform that will hold
an employee’s attention and motivate them to actually finish a
course.
 Gamification in employee training lets new hires make
mistakes and figure out the optimal strategies and solutions-
without the pressure of performing perfectly.

14. 5 MOST INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS
2. ENCOURAGE A HIGH FEEDBACK ENVIRONMENT
 Whether you plan to onboard employees through online
courses, group projects, or individual training, make feedback
an essential step of each staff training session.
Feedback is a tool for continued learning. Offering constructive
criticism at critical points throughout the employee training will
strengthen company goal alignment, improve relationships,
enhance product and service improvements, and so much more.

15. 5 MOST INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS
3. INVOLVE CUSTOMER SUCCESS
 Involving customer success during the employee training
process will share the customer experience with your new hires.
They’ll gain first-hand insight into the current customer
sentiment including doubts, fears, challenges, and triumphs.

16. 5 MOST INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS
4. BLENDED E-LEARNING METHODS
 Blended learning can deliver the right mix of massive open
online courses, instructor-led training, and gamification to build
programs that match training strategies that meet your
employees’ needs.
 Giving employees multiple types of experiences for staff
training lets you track which methods actually lead to better
performance.

17. 5 MOST INNOVATIVE TRAINING METHODS
5. USE INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE GUIDES
 Proven to increase employee engagement, knowledge retention,
and software adoption, any professional positioned in the e-
learning landscape should experiment with interactive guides as
a form of staff training.
 Administrators can also make the interactive software guides
mandatory, granting conditional access to chapters only after
preliminary tasks are completed. This way, companies can
create unique employee training programs on their software
solutions.

18. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT IDEAS AS
CREATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE
TRAINING IDEAS
1. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INDUSTRY OFFERINGS
 Professional organizations offer a wealth of educational
programs and content, such as webinars, blog posts and white
papers on business topics, and much of it’s free. Tap into
memberships with organizations in your field or industry to
access free webinars on topics such as workforce planning and
analysis.

19. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT IDEAS AS
CREATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE
TRAINING IDEAS
2. ORGANIZE A BOOK CLUB OR EMPLOYEE FORUM
 This is a fun way to share the latest ideas in your industry,
while getting to know other members in your company better.
Vote on a book or topic you would like to discuss, and meet
regularly – maybe once every week, or monthly – to talk about
it.

20. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT IDEAS AS
CREATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE
TRAINING IDEAS
3. ESTABLISH A MENTORING PROGRAM
 Some of the best trainers are already in your back pocket:
your current workforce. Set up a mentoring program to access
and share their wisdom. Pair employees knowledgeable in a
subject with others who need to improve their skills.

21. CONCLUSION
Training helps companies create pools of qualified replacements
for employees who may leave or be promoted to positions of
greater responsibility. It also helps ensure that companies will
have the human resources needed to support business growth
and expansion.
 Training can improve employees' efficiency and motivation,
leading to gains in both productivity and job satisfaction by the
use of advanced technology and to adapt to a rapidly changing
competitive environment.

22. CONCLUSION
 Using webinars and blogs can make your employees get used to
new technology, become familiar with innovative trends and
raise the training bar high in the industry.
 Employee training and development for employees are usually
taken by virtual training that is fast gaining foothold in the
corporate world.
