We talked about the different perspectives the organizations have towards training. Their selection and promotion policies have a definite bearing on training. However, certain recent changes in perception have contributed positively to #corporatetraining like:
~ More skills are taught & learnt and fewer are regarded as inborn
~ Technology is advancing at faster pace making skills of today obsolete tomorrow, making the training imperative
~ Globalization has impacted our lives and lifestyles in such a manner that the need of cross-cultural training is realized and being focused
In the organizations which are in sync with these points, the HR departments look out for training with specific focus. The #trainingobjectives are ideally in line with the organizational goals.

~ Organizational culture & ethos
~ Preparing employees to meet the present as well as future requirements of their job profile
~ Improvisation in methods of working, skills to increase levels and quality of output
~ Preparing them for higher level roles and responsibilities
~ Knowledge upgradation and bringing them at par with latest concepts and techniques
~ Facilitating the succession planning
~ Reduction in supervision wastage & accidents
~ Improved inter-personal relations
~ Fostering individual & group morale with positive attitude
The list could be bigger. But these are the focus points from the perspective of organizations. A growing organization would always want its employees to be competent and fit for the changing roles & responsibilities. The areas mentioned above relate to the benefit of the organization.
The next step should be assessing if the employees are equipped already to perform and give desired results and if not, creating a bridge to make it an equal responsibility of the employee. Making them realize the gaps in current and desired performance levels and ensuring that the ownership lies with them.
Let’s discuss the ‘Training Needs Assessment’ (TNA) in the next post. Till then do share in comments section – the areas where organizations seek training.
