Training and Development
Training
and development is a means by which organizations can achieve better
results and is critical to successful performance management. If
used correctly, training can add value to the products and services your
organization offers, providing you a competitive edge.
Organizations, which consistently rate in the top 100 around the world,
have one thing in common: a total commitment to training and
development. Not just lip service, but a demand that training and
development makes a real difference to the results of the business, and
which can be evaluated and measured.
Contemporary learning theory
has enabled significant advances in our understanding of workplace
learning over the last two decades. This has resulted in workplace
training that is specifically focused on particular individual needs and
which targets individual and organizational opportunities for recognisable
performance improvement. Identification of training needs, design of
on-the-job based programs, coaching, mentoring, job rotation, special
assignments, development of programs, delivery, and evaluation, all
facilitate outcomes focused training which leads to competency and
expertise faster than has traditionally been the case.
Excelier believes that training
must be able to deliver knowledge and skills as and when they are required
to achieve organizational objectives in ways that are user friendly,
focused on specific target groups and individuals, and which are
measurable.
Results do not occur without
effort and appropriate planning and the application of specific
expertise. Developing training that delivers outcomes, requires that
specific needs and causes be identified. A design suitable for the
culture, specific circumstances, individual competencies and experience
enhances the results of training efforts. Development that
incorporates the selection of specific strategies, methods and experiences
to deliver the required outcomes, and which will complement the
organizational culture and management style, increases the individual
competency and job results after training. Evaluation that measures
the outcomes, adjusts the process as a result of data collected throughout
the training, and provides feedback to line management has greater
integration with daily management and performance.
