The document discusses training and its importance for organizations. It defines training as a planned effort to facilitate employees' learning of job-related competencies. Some key points:
1. Training is important as it increases employees' knowledge, skills, and abilities which are critical for job performance. It also helps prepare employees for changes like new technology or working in teams.
2. The goal of training is to create intellectual capital, defined as informational resources like human capital, customer relationships, and intellectual property that can improve business.
3. The training design process is based on the Instructional System Design model, which includes analyzing needs, designing the learning environment, ensuring transfer of training, and evaluating the program.
New employee orientation can be defined as the process used by seniors to welcome a new employee into the company.

A human flow in an organization is marked by various stages of acceleration, transfers and finally exit. The presentation details these crucial processes.
An induction programme is the process used within many businesses to welcome new employees to the company and prepare them for their new role. Induction training should, according to TPI-theory, include development of theoretical and practical skills, but also meet interaction needs that exist among the new employees

BENEFITS OF DOCUMENT
1. Undertake human resource planning that supports organizational plans
2. Recruit, select, train and develop employees
3. Encourage employees to share suggestions and ideas aimed at improvement
DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
This is an introductory workshop on employees. It focuses on defining and implementing good employee practices that are covered in the Organizational Excellence Framework (copyright 2010 Dawn Ringrose) publication that integrates global excellence models and provides implementation guidelines for the practitioner. These practices have been validated by over 20 years of research.
The employee practices include: Undertaking human resource planning that supports organization goals and objectives; Recruiting and selecting people for mutual success; Promoting equal opportunity and diversity; Ensuring people understand and commit to the strategic direction and improvement goals; Getting people involved with improvement initiatives; Encouraging employees to share ideas and suggestions; Encouraging employees to be innovative and take risks; Determining the training needs of employees and providing the necessary training; Ensuring employees have adequate compensation and benefits; Rewarding and recognizing strong performance of both individuals and teams; Ensuring a healthy workplace environment and involving people in addressing issues related to health and wellness; Removing barriers to employee effectiveness.
Each practice includes a definition, implementation guidelines and practical examples and may include applicable research findings. The workshop is formatted so that participants learn about best management practices related to the topic and have an opportunity to self-assess against the practices and develop an improvement plan to address gaps.
This workshop is part of a consulting toolkit that includes: the Organizational Excellence Framework publication, scenario games, automated assessments, holistic workshops for micro to large size organizations and modular workshops for each key management area (governance, leadership, planning, customers, employees, work processes, suppliers and partners, resource management, continuous improvement & performance measurement).
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

is designed into a product or service to prevent errors from
occurring rather than being detected and corrected.
– The company promotes cooperation with vendors, suppliers, and
customers to improve quality and hold down costs.
– Managers measure progress with feedback based on data.
7. Customer service and quality
emphasis

challenge by teaching employees statistical process
control and engaging in “lean” processes.

effort, equipment, space, and time, but providing
customers with what they need and want.

arrangements.
8. New technology
35
36. – Work teams - involve employees with various skills
who interact to assemble a product or provide a
service.
– Cross training - training employees in a wide range
of skills so they can fill any of the roles needed to be
performed on the team.
– Virtual teams - teams that are separated by time,
geographic distance, culture, and/or organizational
boundaries and that rely almost exclusively on
technology to interact and complete their projects.
• Use of new technology and work designs are supported by human resource
management practices.
9. High performance models of work systems
36
37. Key trends in learning initiative
investments:
– Direct expenditures, as a percentage of payroll and
learning hours, have remained stable over the last
several years.
– There is an increased demand for specialized
learning that includes professional or industry-
specific content.
– The use of technology-based learning delivery has
increased from 11 percent in 2001 to 33 percent in
2007.
37
