Employee Training: Introduction
Every organization needs well-adjusted, trained, and experienced people to perform
its activities. As jobs in today’s dynamic organizations have become more complex,
the importance of employee education has increased.
Employee training is a learning experience: it seeks a relatively permanent change
in employees that improves job performance. Thus, training involves changing skills,
knowledge, attitudes, or behavior.
Training is an organized activity aimed at imparting information and/or instructions
to improve the recipient's performance or to help him or her attain a required level
of knowledge or skill.
Training is an act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for
performing a particular job. The major outcome of training is learning. A trainee
learns new habits, refined skills and useful knowledge during the training that helps
him improve performance. Training enables an employee to do his job more
efficiently and prepare himself for a higher level job.
Employee Development
Employee development is future oriented and more concerned with education than
employee job-specific training. By education we mean that employee development
activities attempt to instill sound reasoning processes—to enhance one’s ability to
understand and interpret knowledge—rather than imparting a body of facts or
teaching a specific set of motor skills. Development, therefore, focuses more on the
employee’s personal growth.
Successful employees who are prepared for positions of greater responsibility have
developed analytical, human relations, conceptual, and specialized skills. Training
cannot overcome an individual’s inability to understand cause-and-effect
relationships, to synthesize from experience, to visualize relationships, or to think
logically. As a result, employee development is an education process rather than a
training process.
Employee Development
It is an attempt to improve the overall performance of the organization by
imparting knowledge or increasing skill sets of the employees. It also refers to the
process of improvising or transforming an already existing system to match up to
the current trends prevailing in the market.
It is considered to be more general than training and more oriented to individual
needs in addition to organizational needs and it is most often aimed towards
management people. Usually the intent of development is to provide knowledge and
understanding that will enable people to carry out non-technical organizational
functions more effectively, such as problem solving, decision-making and relating to
people.
Training and Development: A Comparison
For our purposes, we will differentiate between employee training and employee
development for one particular reason: Although both are similar in learning
methods, their time frames differ. Training is more present-day oriented; it focuses
on individuals’ current jobs, enhancing those specific skills and abilities needed to
immediately perform their jobs.
Employee development, on the other hand, generally focuses on future jobs in the
organization. As your job and career progress, you’ll need new skills and abilities.
For example, if you become a sales territory manager, the skills you need to perform
that job may be quite different from those you used to sell products. Now you must
supervise sales representatives and develop a broad-based knowledge of marketing
and specific management competencies in communication skills, evaluating
employee performance, and disciplining problem individuals. As you are groomed
for positions of greater responsibility, employee development efforts can help
prepare you for that day.
Training and Development: A Comparison
Training is meant for the operatives and the development is meant for managers.
Training tries to improve a specific skill relating to a job whereas development aims
at improving the total personality of an individual.
Training is a one time deal whereas the development is an ongoing, continuous
process.
The scope of training is on individual employees whereas the scope of development
is on entire workgroup or the organization.
Training seeks to meet the current requirements of the job and the individual;
whereas development aims at meeting the future needs of the job and the individual.
Training is a reactive process and development is a proactive process. Development
is the future oriented training, focusing on the personal growth of the employees.
Determining Training Needs
Some Training Methods in Short
Some Training Methods in Short
Implementing Training Programs
With objectives set and the program designed and budgeted, you can turn to
implementing the training program. This means actually doing the training, using
one or more of the training methods.
On-the-Job Training
On-the-job training (OJT) means having a person learn a job by actually doing it.
Off-the-Job Training
Off-the-Job training is not provided at the workplace or the actual procedure is not
followed practically.
Methods of Training
Apprenticeship Training
Apprenticeship training is a process by which people become skilled workers, usually
through a combination of formal learning and long-term on-the-job training. It
traditionally involves having the learner/apprentice study under the tutelage of a
master craftsperson.
Apprenticeships are frequently used to combine classroom instruction in
combination with working alongside a seasoned veteran, coach, or mentor. The
combination of hands-on and classroom learning compliment each other.
Apprenticeships are frequently used in skilled trade or craft jobs such as building
trades. The experienced worker provides support and encouragement in addition to
training.
Apprenticeship Training
Benefits of Apprenticeship Training
 Earn while learning
 Gaining the real life experience
 Mastering in a particular job field
 Varied career choices
 Increased Confidence
 Improved productivity
 Mentor support
 Maximum learning
Limitations of Apprenticeship
Training
 Less wages
 Minimum education required
(Matric) to enter into some
apprenticeship programmes
 Better opportunities in full-time
programs
Methods of Training
Job Instruction Training
Listing each job s basic tasks, along with key points, in order to provide step-by-step
training for employees.
Many jobs (or parts of jobs) consist of a sequence of steps that one best learns step
by-step. Such step-by-step training is called job instruction training (JIT). First, list
the jobs required steps each in its proper sequence. Then list a corresponding key
point (if any) beside each step. The steps in such a job instruction training sheet
show trainees what to do, and the key points show how it s to be done and why.
Methods of Training
Vestibule Training
With vestibule training, trainees learn on the actual or simulated equipment they
will use on the job, but are trained off the job (perhaps in a separate room or
vestibule). Vestibule training is necessary when it s too costly or dangerous to train
employees on the job. Putting new assembly-line workers right to work could slow
production, for instance, and when safety is a concern as with pilots simulated
training may be the only practical alternative. As an example, UPS uses a life-size
learning lab to provide a 40-hour, 5-day realistic training program for driver
candidates.
A method of job education where educational facilities approximate real working
conditions and are equipped with actual production machinery. In a typical
vestibule training situation used by a manufacturing business, less than ten trainees
would be supervised by one skilled trainer, and the training provided simulates on
the job training without compromising production speed or quality.
Methods of Training
Vestibule Training - Advantages
 Useful to give training to a large number of people, performing the same type of
job.
 The workers concentrate only on the training and do not fear about the mistakes
happening in the production process.
 The actual work does not suffer, as the vestibule training is conducted at the
simulated workplace and not on the actual work floor.
 The workers accustom themselves with the simulated work environment and
thus, their nervousness or anxiety reduces before going to the actual work floor.
 The Vestibule training is given by the specialist; thus, more time can be devoted to
each worker’s problem, which has not been possible in the case of the line
supervisor, who is responsible for the entire production process and has a less
time for the trainees.
Methods of Training
Vestibule Training - Disadvantages
 The vestibule training is costly since it involves the simulated workplace, where a
duplication of machinery, tools, equipment, etc. of actual work floor is required to
make the workers have a real time experience.
 The trainer has to be skilled and thus demands more money for giving the
vestibule training.
 The vestibule training is time-consuming since an entire setup is to be created
before giving the training to the workers.
 The workers may find it difficult to adjust to the real work environment.
Generally, the vestibule training is conducted when any new technology is launched,
and the workers are required to learn about its operations in the simulated work
environment, thereby not hampering the actual production process.
Methods of Training
Audio Visual-based Training
Although increasingly replaced by Web-based methods, audiovisual-based training
techniques like DVDs, films, PowerPoint, and audiotapes are still popular. The Ford
Motor Company uses videos in its dealer training sessions to simulate problems and
reactions to various customer complaints, for example. Consider using them in the
following situations:
1. When there is a need to illustrate how to follow a certain sequence over time,
such as when teaching machine repair. The stop-action, instant replay, and fast-
or slow-motion capabilities of audiovisuals can be useful here.
2. When there is a need to show trainees events not easily demonstrable in live
lectures, such as a visual tour of a factory.
Methods of Training
Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS)
Electronic performance support systems (EPSS) are computerized tools and displays that
automate training, documentation, and phone support. When you call a Dell service center
about a problem with your new computer, he or she is probably asking questions prompted
by an EPSS; it takes you both, step-by-step, through an analytical sequence.
Without the EPSS, Dell would have to train its service representatives to memorize an
unrealistically large number of solutions. Aetna Insurance cut its 13-week instructor-led
training course for new call center employees by about 2 weeks by providing the employees
with performance support tools.
Performance support systems are modern job aids. Job aids are sets of instructions,
diagrams, or similar methods available at the job site to guide the worker. Job aids work
particularly well on complex jobs that require multiple steps, or where it s dangerous to
forget a step. Airline pilots use job aids (such as a checklist of things to do prior to takeoff).
GMs former Electromotive Division gave workers job aids in the form of diagrams.
Methods of Training
Simulated Learning
Simulated learning means different things to different people. A survey asked
training professionals what experiences qualified as simulated learning experiences.
The percentages of trainers choosing each experience were:
 Virtual reality-type games, 19%
 Step-by-step animated guide, 8%
 Scenarios with questions and decision trees overlaying animation, 19%
 Online role-play with photos and videos, 14%
 Software training including screenshots with interactive requests, 35%
 Other, 6%
Virtual reality puts the trainee in an artificial three-dimensional environment that
simulates events and situations that might be experienced on the job. Sensory devices
transmit how the trainee is responding to the computer, and the trainee sees, feels and
hears what is going on, assisted by special goggles and auditory and sensory devices.
Methods of Training
The Case Study Method
As most everyone knows, the case study method presents a trainee with a written
description of an organizational problem. The person then analyzes the case,
diagnoses the problem, and presents his or her findings and solutions in a discussion
with other trainees.
Integrated case scenarios expand the case analysis concept by creating long-term,
comprehensive case situations. For example, the FBI Academy created an integrated
case scenario. It starts with a concerned citizen s telephone call and ends 14 weeks
later with a simulated trial. In between is the stuff of a genuine investigation,
including a healthy sampling of what can go wrong in an actual criminal inquiry. To
create such scenarios, scriptwriters (often employees in the firms training group)
write the scripts. The scripts include themes, background stories, detailed personnel
histories, and role-playing instructions. The scenarios aim to develop specific skills,
such as interviewing witnesses
Methods of Training
Management Games
Computerized management games enable trainees to learn by making realistic
decisions in simulated situations. For example, Interpret is a team exercise that explores
team communication, the management of information and the planning and
implementation of a strategy. It raises management trainees communication skills,
helps them to better manage the information flow between individuals and the team,
and improves planning and problem solving skills. With some games, trainees divide
into teams, which compete in a simulated marketplace. Each team typically must
decide, for example, (1) how much to spend on advertising, (2) how much to produce,
(3) how much inventory to maintain, and (4) how many of which product to produce.
Management games are effective. People learn best by being involved, and games gain
such involvement. They also help trainees develop their problem-solving skills, and to
focus attention on planning rather than just putting out fires. The groups also usually
elect their own officers and organize themselves. This can develop leadership skills and
foster cooperation and teamwork.
Methods of Training
Role Play
Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by
interacting with other people in a managed way in order to develop experience and
trial different strategies in a supported environment. Depending on the intention of the
activity, participants might be playing a role similar to their own (or their likely one in
the future) or could play the opposite part of the conversation or interaction. Both
options provide the possibility of significant learning, with the former allowing
experience to be gained and the latter encouraging the student to develop an
understanding of the situation from the ‘opposite’ point of view.
The aim of role playing is to create a realistic situation and then have the trainees
assume the parts (or roles) of specific persons in that situation.
Role Plays helps in
 Developing interpersonal skills and communication skills
 Conflict resolution
 Group decision making
 Developing insight into one’s own behavior and its impact on others
Methods of Training
Benefits of Role Plays
Build confidence: When your team role-plays, you can throw any number of
situations at them. Role-playing provides a safe environment to encounter these
scenarios for the first time, which builds confidence in team members that can help
them in their day-to-day roles.
Develop listening skills: Good role-playing requires good listening skills. In
addition to understanding the words the other person is saying, it’s important to
pay attention to body language and non-verbal clues. Better to have your team
develop these skills while role-playing than when they’re trying to perform in the
real world.
Creative problem-solving: No matter how outlandish a situation you create in a
controlled environment, generally, something even more bizarre is bound to happen
on the job. Role-playing will at least give your team the chance to get some
experience in handling difficult situations and in developing creative problem-
solving skills.
Methods of Training
Sensitivity Training
Sensitivity training is a form of training with the goal of making people more aware
of their own goals as well as their prejudices, and more sensitive to others and to the
dynamics of group interaction.
In one way Sensitivity training is the process of developing emotional intelligence,
which means "the mental ability an individual possesses enabling him or her to be
sensitive and understanding to the emotions of others as well as being able to
manage their own emotions and impulses".
Methods of Training
Goals of Sensitivity Training
 Increased understanding, insight, and self awareness about one's own behavior and
its impact on others, including the ways in which others interpret one's behavior.
 Increased understanding and sensitivity about the behavior of others, including
better interpretation of both verbal and nonverbal clues, which increases awareness
and understanding of what the other person is thinking and feeling.
 Better understanding and awareness of group and inter-group processes, both those
that facilitate and those that inhibit group functioning.
 Increased diagnostic skills in interpersonal and inter-group situations. For the
authors, the accomplishments of the first three objectives provide the basic tools for
accomplishing the fourth objective.
 Increased ability to transform learning into action, so that real life interventions will
be more successful in increasing member effectiveness, satisfaction, output, or
effectiveness.
 Improvement in individuals' ability to analyze their own interpersonal behavior, as
well as to learn how to help themselves and others with whom they come in contact
to achieve more satisfying, rewarding, and effective interpersonal relationships.
Methods of Training
Creating a training program involves more than contracting with an online training
vendor and requiring your employees to take the course. The employer should use a
rational training process. The gold standard here is still the basic analysis-design
develop- implement-evaluate (ADDIE) training process model that training experts
have used for years. As an example, one training vendor describes its training
process as follows:
- Analyze the training need.
- Design the overall training program.
- Develop the course (actually assembling/creating the training materials).
- Implement training, by actually training the targeted employee group using
methods such as on-the-job or online training.
- Evaluate the courses effectiveness.
Process of Training and Development
The training needs analysis should address the employers strategic/longer term
training needs and/or its current training needs. If the program is to use technology,
the manager should also include a review of the technology he or she plans to use for
presenting the program, as part of the analysis.
Strategic Training Needs Analysis
Strategic training needs analysis focuses on identifying the training that employees will
need to fill these new future jobs. For example, when Wisconsin-based Signicast Corp.
decided to build a new, high-tech plant, the firms top management knew the plant’s
employees would need new skills to run the computerized machines. They worked
closely with their HR team to formulate hiring policies and training programs to ensure
the firm would have the human resources required to populate the new plant.
Strategic training needs analysis is tied to succession planning. The latter, recall, means
identifying the training and development that employees need to fill the firms key
positions, and then formulating plans to ensure that high-potential employees get the
training and development to fill the firms future positions.
Conducting the Training Need Analysis
Current Training Needs Analysis
How you analyze current training needs depends on whether you re training new or
current employees. The main task in analyzing new employees needs is to determine
what the job entails and to break it down into subtasks, each of which you then teach to
the new employee.
Analyzing current employees training needs is more complex, because you must also
decide whether training is the solution. For example, performance may be down
because the standards aren’t clear or because the person isn’t motivated. Managers use
task analysis to identify new employees training needs, and performance analysis to
identify current employees training needs.
Conducting the Training Need Analysis
Task Analysis: Analyzing New Employees Training Needs
Task analysis is a detailed study of the job to determine what specific skills like Java (in
the case of a Web developer) or interviewing (in the case of a supervisor) the job
requires. For task analysis, job descriptions and job specifications are essential. These
list the job s specific duties and skills, which are the basic reference points in
determining the training required. Managers can also uncover training needs by
reviewing performance standards, performing the job, and questioning current job
holders and their supervisors.
Talent Management: Using Profiles And Competency Models
Talent management is the goal-oriented and integrated process of planning for,
recruiting, selecting, developing, and compensating employees. Among other things,
talent management involves using the same competencies profile or model for
recruiting the employee as for selecting, training, appraising, and paying him or her.
For training, we can summarize this as follows:
Strategy  Employee Behaviors  Employee Competencies  Training and
Development Needs  Training Implementation and Evaluation.
Conducting the Training Need Analysis
Performance Analysis: Analyzing Current Employees Training Needs
Performance analysis is the process of verifying that there is a performance
deficiency and determining whether the employer should correct such deficiencies
through training or some other means (like transferring the employee).
The first step in performance analysis is usually to compare the person s actual
performance to what it should be. Doing so helps to confirm that there is a
performance deficiency, and (hopefully) helps the manager to identify its cause.
Conducting the Training Need Analysis
Performance Analysis: Analyzing Current Employees Training Needs
There are several ways to identify how a current employee is doing. These include
reviewing:
• Performance appraisals
• Job-related performance data (including productivity, absenteeism and tardiness,
grievances, waste, late deliveries, product quality, downtime, repairs, equipment
utilization, and customer complaints)
• Observations by supervisors or other specialists
• Interviews with the employee or his or her supervisor
• Tests of things like job knowledge, skills, and attendance
• Attitude surveys
• Individual employee daily diaries
• Assessment center results
• Special performance gap analytical software, such as from Saba Software, Inc.
Conducting the Training Need Analysis
The manager can measure four basic categories of training outcomes:
1. Reaction. Evaluate trainees reactions to the program. Did they like the
program? Did they think it worthwhile?
2. Learning. Test the trainees to determine whether they learned the principles,
skills, and facts they were supposed to learn.
3. Behavior. Ask whether the trainees on-the-job behavior changed because of the
training program. For example, are employees in the stores complaint
department more courteous toward disgruntled customers?
4. Results. Probably most important, ask, What results did we achieve, in terms of
the training objectives previously set? For example, did the number of customer
complaints diminish? Reactions, learning, and behavior are important. But if the
training program doesn’t produce measurable results, then it probably hasn’t
achieved its goals

As jobs in today’s dynamic organizations have become more complex, the importance of employee education has increased. Employee training is a learning experience: it seeks a relatively permanent change in employees that improves job performance. Thus, training involves changing skills, knowledge, attitudes, or behavior. Training is an organized activity aimed at imparting information and/or instructions to improve the recipient's performance or to help him or her attain a required level of knowledge or skill. Training is an act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for performing a particular job. The major outcome of training is learning. A trainee learns new habits, refined skills and useful knowledge during the training that helps him improve performance. Training enables an employee to do his job more efficiently and prepare himself for a higher level job.
  • 3. Employee Development Employee development is future oriented and more concerned with education than employee job-specific training. By education we mean that employee development activities attempt to instill sound reasoning processes—to enhance one’s ability to understand and interpret knowledge—rather than imparting a body of facts or teaching a specific set of motor skills. Development, therefore, focuses more on the employee’s personal growth. Successful employees who are prepared for positions of greater responsibility have developed analytical, human relations, conceptual, and specialized skills. Training cannot overcome an individual’s inability to understand cause-and-effect relationships, to synthesize from experience, to visualize relationships, or to think logically. As a result, employee development is an education process rather than a training process.

Employee development, on the other hand, generally focuses on future jobs in the organization. As your job and career progress, you’ll need new skills and abilities. For example, if you become a sales territory manager, the skills you need to perform that job may be quite different from those you used to sell products. Now you must supervise sales representatives and develop a broad-based knowledge of marketing and specific management competencies in communication skills, evaluating employee performance, and disciplining problem individuals. As you are groomed for positions of greater responsibility, employee development efforts can help prepare you for that day.
  • 6. Training and Development: A Comparison Training is meant for the operatives and the development is meant for managers.

This means actually doing the training, using one or more of the training methods. On-the-Job Training On-the-job training (OJT) means having a person learn a job by actually doing it. Off-the-Job Training Off-the-Job training is not provided at the workplace or the actual procedure is not followed practically.
  • 11. Methods of Training Apprenticeship Training Apprenticeship training is a process by which people become skilled workers, usually through a combination of formal learning and long-term on-the-job training. It traditionally involves having the learner/apprentice study under the tutelage of a master craftsperson. Apprenticeships are frequently used to combine classroom instruction in combination with working alongside a seasoned veteran, coach, or mentor. The combination of hands-on and classroom learning compliment each other. Apprenticeships are frequently used in skilled trade or craft jobs such as building trades. The experienced worker provides support and encouragement in addition to training.
  • 12. Apprenticeship Training Benefits of Apprenticeship Training  Earn while learning  Gaining the real life experience  Mastering in a particular job field  Varied career choices  Increased Confidence  Improved productivity  Mentor support  Maximum learning Limitations of Apprenticeship Training  Less wages  Minimum education required (Matric) to enter into some apprenticeship programmes  Better opportunities in full-time programs Methods of Training
  • 13. Job Instruction Training Listing each job s basic tasks, along with key points, in order to provide step-by-step training for employees. Many jobs (or parts of jobs) consist of a sequence of steps that one best learns step by-step. Such step-by-step training is called job instruction training (JIT). First, list the jobs required steps each in its proper sequence. Then list a corresponding key point (if any) beside each step. The steps in such a job instruction training sheet show trainees what to do, and the key points show how it s to be done and why. Methods of Training
  • 14. Vestibule Training With vestibule training, trainees learn on the actual or simulated equipment they will use on the job, but are trained off the job (perhaps in a separate room or vestibule). Vestibule training is necessary when it s too costly or dangerous to train employees on the job. Putting new assembly-line workers right to work could slow production, for instance, and when safety is a concern as with pilots simulated training may be the only practical alternative. As an example, UPS uses a life-size learning lab to provide a 40-hour, 5-day realistic training program for driver candidates. A method of job education where educational facilities approximate real working conditions and are equipped with actual production machinery. In a typical vestibule training situation used by a manufacturing business, less than ten trainees would be supervised by one skilled trainer, and the training provided simulates on the job training without compromising production speed or quality. Methods of Training
  • 15. Vestibule Training - Advantages  Useful to give training to a large number of people, performing the same type of job.  The workers concentrate only on the training and do not fear about the mistakes happening in the production process.  The actual work does not suffer, as the vestibule training is conducted at the simulated workplace and not on the actual work floor.  The workers accustom themselves with the simulated work environment and thus, their nervousness or anxiety reduces before going to the actual work floor.  The Vestibule training is given by the specialist; thus, more time can be devoted to each worker’s problem, which has not been possible in the case of the line supervisor, who is responsible for the entire production process and has a less time for the trainees. Methods of Training
  • 16. Vestibule Training - Disadvantages  The vestibule training is costly since it involves the simulated workplace, where a duplication of machinery, tools, equipment, etc. of actual work floor is required to make the workers have a real time experience.  The trainer has to be skilled and thus demands more money for giving the vestibule training.  The vestibule training is time-consuming since an entire setup is to be created before giving the training to the workers.  The workers may find it difficult to adjust to the real work environment. Generally, the vestibule training is conducted when any new technology is launched, and the workers are required to learn about its operations in the simulated work environment, thereby not hampering the actual production process. Methods of Training
  • 17. Audio Visual-based Training Although increasingly replaced by Web-based methods, audiovisual-based training techniques like DVDs, films, PowerPoint, and audiotapes are still popular. The Ford Motor Company uses videos in its dealer training sessions to simulate problems and reactions to various customer complaints, for example. Consider using them in the following situations: 1. When there is a need to illustrate how to follow a certain sequence over time, such as when teaching machine repair. The stop-action, instant replay, and fast- or slow-motion capabilities of audiovisuals can be useful here. 2. When there is a need to show trainees events not easily demonstrable in live lectures, such as a visual tour of a factory. Methods of Training
  • 18. Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS) Electronic performance support systems (EPSS) are computerized tools and displays that automate training, documentation, and phone support. When you call a Dell service center about a problem with your new computer, he or she is probably asking questions prompted by an EPSS; it takes you both, step-by-step, through an analytical sequence. Without the EPSS, Dell would have to train its service representatives to memorize an unrealistically large number of solutions. Aetna Insurance cut its 13-week instructor-led training course for new call center employees by about 2 weeks by providing the employees with performance support tools. Performance support systems are modern job aids. Job aids are sets of instructions, diagrams, or similar methods available at the job site to guide the worker. Job aids work particularly well on complex jobs that require multiple steps, or where it s dangerous to forget a step. Airline pilots use job aids (such as a checklist of things to do prior to takeoff). GMs former Electromotive Division gave workers job aids in the form of diagrams. Methods of Training
  • 19. Simulated Learning Simulated learning means different things to different people. A survey asked training professionals what experiences qualified as simulated learning experiences. The percentages of trainers choosing each experience were:  Virtual reality-type games, 19%  Step-by-step animated guide, 8%  Scenarios with questions and decision trees overlaying animation, 19%  Online role-play with photos and videos, 14%  Software training including screenshots with interactive requests, 35%  Other, 6% Virtual reality puts the trainee in an artificial three-dimensional environment that simulates events and situations that might be experienced on the job. Sensory devices transmit how the trainee is responding to the computer, and the trainee sees, feels and hears what is going on, assisted by special goggles and auditory and sensory devices. Methods of Training
  • 20. The Case Study Method As most everyone knows, the case study method presents a trainee with a written description of an organizational problem. The person then analyzes the case, diagnoses the problem, and presents his or her findings and solutions in a discussion with other trainees. Integrated case scenarios expand the case analysis concept by creating long-term, comprehensive case situations. For example, the FBI Academy created an integrated case scenario. It starts with a concerned citizen s telephone call and ends 14 weeks later with a simulated trial. In between is the stuff of a genuine investigation, including a healthy sampling of what can go wrong in an actual criminal inquiry. To create such scenarios, scriptwriters (often employees in the firms training group) write the scripts. The scripts include themes, background stories, detailed personnel histories, and role-playing instructions. The scenarios aim to develop specific skills, such as interviewing witnesses Methods of Training
  • 21. Management Games Computerized management games enable trainees to learn by making realistic decisions in simulated situations. For example, Interpret is a team exercise that explores team communication, the management of information and the planning and implementation of a strategy. It raises management trainees communication skills, helps them to better manage the information flow between individuals and the team, and improves planning and problem solving skills. With some games, trainees divide into teams, which compete in a simulated marketplace. Each team typically must decide, for example, (1) how much to spend on advertising, (2) how much to produce, (3) how much inventory to maintain, and (4) how many of which product to produce. Management games are effective. People learn best by being involved, and games gain such involvement. They also help trainees develop their problem-solving skills, and to focus attention on planning rather than just putting out fires. The groups also usually elect their own officers and organize themselves. This can develop leadership skills and foster cooperation and teamwork. Methods of Training
  • 22. Role Play Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by interacting with other people in a managed way in order to develop experience and trial different strategies in a supported environment. Depending on the intention of the activity, participants might be playing a role similar to their own (or their likely one in the future) or could play the opposite part of the conversation or interaction. Both options provide the possibility of significant learning, with the former allowing experience to be gained and the latter encouraging the student to develop an understanding of the situation from the ‘opposite’ point of view. The aim of role playing is to create a realistic situation and then have the trainees assume the parts (or roles) of specific persons in that situation. Role Plays helps in  Developing interpersonal skills and communication skills  Conflict resolution  Group decision making  Developing insight into one’s own behavior and its impact on others Methods of Training
  • 23. Benefits of Role Plays Build confidence: When your team role-plays, you can throw any number of situations at them. Role-playing provides a safe environment to encounter these scenarios for the first time, which builds confidence in team members that can help them in their day-to-day roles. Develop listening skills: Good role-playing requires good listening skills. In addition to understanding the words the other person is saying, it’s important to pay attention to body language and non-verbal clues. Better to have your team develop these skills while role-playing than when they’re trying to perform in the real world. Creative problem-solving: No matter how outlandish a situation you create in a controlled environment, generally, something even more bizarre is bound to happen on the job. Role-playing will at least give your team the chance to get some experience in handling difficult situations and in developing creative problem- solving skills. Methods of Training
  • 24. Sensitivity Training Sensitivity training is a form of training with the goal of making people more aware of their own goals as well as their prejudices, and more sensitive to others and to the dynamics of group interaction. In one way Sensitivity training is the process of developing emotional intelligence, which means "the mental ability an individual possesses enabling him or her to be sensitive and understanding to the emotions of others as well as being able to manage their own emotions and impulses". Methods of Training
  • 25. Goals of Sensitivity Training  Increased understanding, insight, and self awareness about one's own behavior and its impact on others, including the ways in which others interpret one's behavior.  Increased understanding and sensitivity about the behavior of others, including better interpretation of both verbal and nonverbal clues, which increases awareness and understanding of what the other person is thinking and feeling.  Better understanding and awareness of group and inter-group processes, both those that facilitate and those that inhibit group functioning.  Increased diagnostic skills in interpersonal and inter-group situations. For the authors, the accomplishments of the first three objectives provide the basic tools for accomplishing the fourth objective.  Increased ability to transform learning into action, so that real life interventions will be more successful in increasing member effectiveness, satisfaction, output, or effectiveness.  Improvement in individuals' ability to analyze their own interpersonal behavior, as well as to learn how to help themselves and others with whom they come in contact to achieve more satisfying, rewarding, and effective interpersonal relationships. Methods of Training
  • 26. Creating a training program involves more than contracting with an online training vendor and requiring your employees to take the course. The employer should use a rational training process. The gold standard here is still the basic analysis-design develop- implement-evaluate (ADDIE) training process model that training experts have used for years. As an example, one training vendor describes its training process as follows: - Analyze the training need. - Design the overall training program. - Develop the course (actually assembling/creating the training materials). - Implement training, by actually training the targeted employee group using methods such as on-the-job or online training. - Evaluate the courses effectiveness. Process of Training and Development
  • 27. The training needs analysis should address the employers strategic/longer term training needs and/or its current training needs. If the program is to use technology, the manager should also include a review of the technology he or she plans to use for presenting the program, as part of the analysis. Strategic Training Needs Analysis Strategic training needs analysis focuses on identifying the training that employees will need to fill these new future jobs. For example, when Wisconsin-based Signicast Corp. decided to build a new, high-tech plant, the firms top management knew the plant’s employees would need new skills to run the computerized machines. They worked closely with their HR team to formulate hiring policies and training programs to ensure the firm would have the human resources required to populate the new plant. Strategic training needs analysis is tied to succession planning. The latter, recall, means identifying the training and development that employees need to fill the firms key positions, and then formulating plans to ensure that high-potential employees get the training and development to fill the firms future positions. Conducting the Training Need Analysis
  • 28. Current Training Needs Analysis How you analyze current training needs depends on whether you re training new or current employees. The main task in analyzing new employees needs is to determine what the job entails and to break it down into subtasks, each of which you then teach to the new employee. Analyzing current employees training needs is more complex, because you must also decide whether training is the solution. For example, performance may be down because the standards aren’t clear or because the person isn’t motivated. Managers use task analysis to identify new employees training needs, and performance analysis to identify current employees training needs. Conducting the Training Need Analysis
  • 29. Task Analysis: Analyzing New Employees Training Needs Task analysis is a detailed study of the job to determine what specific skills like Java (in the case of a Web developer) or interviewing (in the case of a supervisor) the job requires. For task analysis, job descriptions and job specifications are essential. These list the job s specific duties and skills, which are the basic reference points in determining the training required. Managers can also uncover training needs by reviewing performance standards, performing the job, and questioning current job holders and their supervisors. Talent Management: Using Profiles And Competency Models Talent management is the goal-oriented and integrated process of planning for, recruiting, selecting, developing, and compensating employees. Among other things, talent management involves using the same competencies profile or model for recruiting the employee as for selecting, training, appraising, and paying him or her. For training, we can summarize this as follows: Strategy  Employee Behaviors  Employee Competencies  Training and Development Needs  Training Implementation and Evaluation. Conducting the Training Need Analysis
  • 30. Performance Analysis: Analyzing Current Employees Training Needs Performance analysis is the process of verifying that there is a performance deficiency and determining whether the employer should correct such deficiencies through training or some other means (like transferring the employee). The first step in performance analysis is usually to compare the person s actual performance to what it should be. Doing so helps to confirm that there is a performance deficiency, and (hopefully) helps the manager to identify its cause. Conducting the Training Need Analysis
  • 31. Performance Analysis: Analyzing Current Employees Training Needs There are several ways to identify how a current employee is doing. These include reviewing: • Performance appraisals • Job-related performance data (including productivity, absenteeism and tardiness, grievances, waste, late deliveries, product quality, downtime, repairs, equipment utilization, and customer complaints) • Observations by supervisors or other specialists • Interviews with the employee or his or her supervisor • Tests of things like job knowledge, skills, and attendance • Attitude surveys • Individual employee daily diaries • Assessment center results • Special performance gap analytical software, such as from Saba Software, Inc. Conducting the Training Need Analysis
  • 32. The manager can measure four basic categories of training outcomes: 1. Reaction. Evaluate trainees reactions to the program. Did they like the program? Did they think it worthwhile? 2. Learning. Test the trainees to determine whether they learned the principles, skills, and facts they were supposed to learn. 3. Behavior. Ask whether the trainees on-the-job behavior changed because of the training program. For example, are employees in the stores complaint department more courteous toward disgruntled customers? 4. Results. Probably most important, ask, What results did we achieve, in terms of the training objectives previously set? For example, did the number of customer complaints diminish? Reactions, learning, and behavior are important. But if the training program doesn’t produce measurable results, then it probably hasn’t achieved its goals Measurement of Training Programs
