Question description

 

 

Training and Development is a critical (and fun) part of our HR functions. Daft (2016) describes the following throughout our reading.

• On-the-Job Training:  Training and development is a planned effort by an organization for employees to learn job?related behaviors (Daft, 2016).  The most common method of training ison?the?job training (OJT), in which an experienced employee "adopts" a new employee to teach him or her how to perform job duties.  Cross-training places an employee in a new position for as short as a few hours or for as long as a year to develop new skills and give the organization flexibility. 
• Social Learning. Social learning basically means learning informally from others by using social media tools, including mobile technologies, social networking, wikis and blogs, virtual games, and so forth (Daft, 2016).  The majority of organizational learning occurs through informal rather than formal channels, so managers are supporting the use of social media technology for learning in day-to-day work.  These tools allow people to share information, access knowledge, find resources, and collaborate in a natural way.
• Corporate Universities.  A corporate university is an in-house training and education facility that offers broad-based learning opportunities for employees--and frequently for customers, suppliers, and strategic partners as well--throughout their careers (Daft, 2016).
• Promotion from Within.  Promoting from within helps companies retain valuable employees (Daft, 2016).  This provides challenging assignments, prescribes new responsibilities, and helps employees grown by expanding and developing their abilities.

Which of these do you see in your organization?  Which ones would you like to see?
