Editor's Notes

  • #3 A review on the Functions of Human Resource Management
  • #8 It is important to note that training focuses on improving an employee’s skill level as related to his/her current job; while development has a more long-term focus intended to help an employee prepare for future jobs.
  • #12 Training is crucial for organizational development and success. It is fruitful to both employers and employees of an organization. An employee will become more efficient and productive if he is trained well. 1. Improved employee morale – Training helps the employee to get job security and job satisfaction. The more satisfied the employee is and the greater is his morale, the more he will contribute to organizational success and the lesser will be employee absenteeism and turnover. 2. Less supervision – A well trained employee will be well acquainted with the job and will need less supervision. 3. Fewer accidents – Errors are likely to occur if the employees lack knowledge and skills required for doing a particular job. The more trained an employee is, the less chances of committing accidents and the more proficient the employee becomes. 4. Chances of promotion – Employees acquire skills and efficiency during training. They become more eligible for promotion. They become an asset for the organization. 5. Increased productivity – Training improves efficiency and productivity of employees. Well trained employees show both quantity and quality performance. There is less wastage of time, money, and resources if employees are properly trained.
  • #13 New Hire Training - New candidates who join an organization are given training. This training familiarizes them with the organizational mission, vision, rules and regulations, and the working conditions. Retraining - The existing employees are trained to refresh and enhance their knowledge. Technology Training - If any updates and amendments take place in technology, training is given to cope up with those changes. For instance, purchasing new equipment, changes in technique of production, computerization, among others. The employees are trained about use of new equipment and work methods. Uptraining - When promotion and career growth becomes important, training is given so that employees are prepared to share the responsibilities of the higher level job.
  • #14 1. On the job training – this training method takes place in a normal working situation. It is a simple and cost-effective training method. The employees are trained in actual working scenario. The motto of such training is “learning by doing”. 2. Off the job training – this training method is provided away from the actual working conditions. It is generally used in case of new employees. Such method is costly and is only effective if a large number of employees have to be trained within a short time period.
  • #15 In order for the training to be effective, employers and trainers must follow the established training cycle. Training Designs are never generic. The processes vary depending on the needs of a particular company and the type of employees to be trained.
  • #16 Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person Leadership Training is aimed at developing leadership abilities and attitudes of individuals Executive Education refers to academic programs at graduate-level business schools worldwide for executives, business leaders and functional managers
  • #19 Goal-driven productivity – employees are more driven to perform Personal and organizational growth – there is growth both in the individual employees and the organization as a whole as employees become more driven to succeed and move up the ladder Succession planning – responsibilities and accountabilities can be more clearly defined along with the roles the hierarchy Position alignment with skills and interests – each person is matched with a position that matches his skill and interest Financial advantages of an in-house experts – it is usually cheaper to promote within the organization that hiring externally
  • #21 Organization-centered career planning - focuses on identifying career paths that provide for the logical progression of people between jobs in an organization   Individual-centered career planning - focuses on an individual’s responsibility for a career rather than on organizational needs
  • #22 Effective career planning considers both organization-centered and individual-centered perspectives.
  • #23 4 Steps in the Career Planning Process Self-Assessment Personal Assessment (Skills, Values, Interests, Needs, Aptitudes & Personality) Self-Care: Consider the work-life balance that you need Geography Finances Exploration and Research Occupational Research Informational Interviews with people in your field of interest Educational Research – What sort of training or credentials would you need? Industry Research Professional & Trade Associations in the field Gaining Experience & Credentials Short-Term Training Education (Classroom and e-Learning) Internships Volunteer Work Interim or Temporary Employment Job Shadowing Implementing Career Strategy Updating CV Job Application Salary Negotiation
  • #26 Divide class into 2 groups Each group should select 2 “soldiers” The 2 soldiers need to cross the minefield blindfolded, while the rest of the group will be the navigators, guiding them through it Each group will be timed on how quickly they can get their 2 soldiers safely out of the minefield The group with the shortest time record wins
  • #28 Employee Engagement is a workplace approach designed to ensure that employees are committed to their organization’s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organizational success, and are able at the same time to enhance their own sense of well-being. Engagement boils down to an employee’s passion and commitment to the organisation and their job (investment) and the drive to deliver the organisation’s objectives, (motivation) going the extra mile to do so.  Engagement is not transactional - it’s about emotion, behaviors and relationships; there’s a connect between the employee and the organisation. Engaged employees have pride in their job and the organisation and are more likely to recommend the organisation, its products, and services to others. 
  • #29 Studies conducted by Gallup and Aon Hewitt over the past several years have shown a conclusive correlation between an employee's engagement in a company and increased and higher quality productivity. When an employee feels invested in a company, he is driven to go above and beyond the minimum required of him. Engaged employees are more inclined to stay with the company and work at making it better rather than leaving it for better opportunities elsewhere.  Engaged workers have bought into what the organization is about and are trying to make a difference. This is why they're usually the most productive workers. Gallup researchers studied the differences in performance between engaged and actively disengaged work units and found that those scoring in the top half on employee engagement nearly doubled their odds of success compared with those in the bottom half. Those at the 99th percentile had four times the success rate of those at the first percentile.  The same studies have shown that the level of engagement in employees leads to higher earnings per share brought about by higher customer satisfaction ratings and increased revenues. 
  • #30 Employee engagement is enabled by four (4) factors, specifically: Strong Leadership - a visible and empowering leader who can provide a a clear vision about the company, what it stands for, where it comes from, and the direction it is headed. Charismatic Managers - managers who can focus their people and give them direction in attaining the goals of company.  Employee Voice -giving employees a say in how the company is run is key to employee engagement. It reinforces the view that their opinion counts and their participation appreciated. Integrity - the values of the company, what it stands for, must be reflected in its day to day operations. There can be no gap between what it says and what it does. Employee engagement is driven by  Employee perceptions of job importance - the employee needs to feel that what he does matters to the company, a vital cog in the great machine. Surveys have shown that this had the greatest impact on loyalty and customer service than all other employee factors combined.  Employee clarity of job expectations - the employee must know what is expected of him and must be given the tools he needs to do his job. This prevents confusion and frustration, which will eventually lead to employee disengagement. Career advancement / improvement opportunities - the employee must be able to better himself. A dead end job does not motivate an employee to do better because he has nowhere else to go. Regular feedback and dialogue with superiors - Feedback is the key to giving employees a sense of where they’re going and if they are on the right track. A simple pat on the back is sometimes enough. Quality of working relationships with peers, superiors, and subordinates - employee engagement is a direct reflection of how employees feel about their relationship with the boss. If the employee's relationship with his managers is fractured, no amount of perks will persuade the employees to perform at top levels.  Perceptions of the ethos and values of the organization - the employee needs to feel that the company is doing the right thing, not just doing business at the expense of others. He must feel pride in the company, otherwise he can never be engaged in it.  Effective internal employee communications - there must be channels for internal communication across the organization. This will allow employees to feel that they are part of the organization.
  • #31 Highly productive Involved in the welfare of the company Takes ownership and pride in the company Committed to his job and does things above and beyond what is required Empowered and feels a part of the company
  • #32 Planning It is important that from the very start, the right man is chosen for the job. An employee who can not do the job well will feel inadequate and his job satisfaction will be lowered, thus decreasing his engagement in the company. Orientation after hiring to let the employee know what is required of him and training to prepare him for the job.  Survey Recent studies suggest that the traditional annual review of employee engagement is no longer enough in a volatile business environment. Companies must redefine engagement into a continuous and holistic part of its business strategy instead of a mere tool.  http://www.forbes.com/sites/joshbersin/2014/04/10/its-time-to-rethink-the-employee-engagement-issue/  Flexibility A company must be flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of its environment. This includes changing internal policies and procedures to better engage its employees and maintain its edge, keeping the organization a well oiled machine. Trust Companies have to be open and transparent when dealing with employees. Rules must be clearly stated and enforcement equal among all.  There is an old truism “ people leave managers, not organizations.” Research suggests this is no longer true. When people leave it is usually a combination of the organization and all its elements that cause turnover. A bad manager can force someone to leave, but usually there are many other factors that create low performance or a departure. Compensation A fair wage for a fair day's labor. Employees expect to be compensated fairly for their work. Compensation packages which include stock options and profit are often better at making employees more engaged in the company because then they feel that they have a stake in it. Games All work and no play makes for a burnt out and ineffective employee. A bit of healthy competition could break the monotony of work and increase productivity. Recreation Company get togethers and meet and greet events boost for employee morale and make them feel that it is more than just impersonal bricks and mortar and that there are flesh and blood people at the helm.
  • #33 It is important to note that training focuses on improving an employee’s skill level as related to his/her current job; while development has a more long-term focus intended to help an employee prepare for future jobs.
