Training

2. What is
training?
It is either a HR, L&D or
T&D activity depending
on the organization.
Pause the video to write
how you would describe
training…
We will look at some well
respected definitions
Lets see how your
definition compares…

3. Malkovich's
and
Boudreau’s
Diagnostic
Training is one of HRM
activities and is defined like a
systematic process of changing
the behaviour, knowledge and
motivation of present
employees to improve the
match between employee
characteristics and
employment requirements.

4. Older
definition
Facilitation?
Is that the same as
Training?
We will come back to
that question…
Older definitions claim training
is the formal procedures which
a company utilizes to facilitate
learning so that the resultant
behaviour contributes to the
attainment of the company’s
goals and objectives.

5. Worth the
cost?
What are the training
costs?
Venue, travel, Trainer,
administration,
printing, instructional
design, down time…
However, training should not be
classified as an expense, but as an
investment.
Well trained employees will
provide competitive advantage.
What if the training investment
produced a 200% return in
productivity, sales, retention…

6. Reasons for
training
Please pause this video
and write your reasons
for training staff…
The processes of training should
contribute to attainment of
organizational goals and objectives.
Therefore we must know what our
specific goals in terms of organizational
functions are. If there are no apparent
goals in the organization which training
can influence, there is no reason for
undertaking a training activity.
This concept is called training–by–
objectives.

7. Reasons for
training
How are you going so
far?
The most common reason for training is
an identified deficiency in performance.
Especially when the deficiency in
performance is visible by most
employees and even the clients.
Sometimes employees who have been
productive may now need training in
order to regain a previous level of
performance.

8. Reasons for
training
Also newer employees may require
training, because although they met the
requirements for the job, they may not
be able to perform the standards of the
organization.
Inductions, OH&S, basic product or
systems training….
In addition, for change
management, new software, new
procedures, new sales methods, new
policies or competition…

9. Training?
What if your
organizational
strategies are not
being attained?
What training will
improve your
individual
performance?
Training methods are divided into two
groups – on-the-job and off-the-job
training.
The chosen method needs to be close to
the real work environment.
People learn through a combination of:
Visual: video, pictures, charts…
Audio: verbal instruction…
Kinaesthetic: activities, doing…

10. Facilitation
Vs Training
I promised to come
back to this question.
Trainers require a lot
more skills, planning,
assessment and
industry experience.
Facilitation:
Makes the presentation of information
seem simple and easy. It assists with the
learning process by presenting the
training materials.
Training:
Requires preparation to guide and
instruct, whilst aiming, directing,
monitoring and focussing the learning
using a variety of training tools and
methods to ensure the training
objectives are met.
