Employee Training and Career Development Paper
Training and development programs help increase both employee morale and performance. Offering training programs that are relevant to the job will send a message to your staff that professional development is a priority within the organization. Training employees so they can improve their skill set or learn new technologies will increase their productivity and overall job performance. (DemandMedia Inc, 2012)
Training may be new hire training where new employees go through a specified amount of time where they learn subjects ranging from orientation to continuation classes in supervisory skills, customer service skills, communication techniques, time management, organizational techniques and strategies as well as team-building. These developmental training modules may not focus directly on an individual 's performance but can help the employee improve his skill set, improve how he manages employees and can help reduce turnover. Leadership training assists with training employees who are being career pathed within the company and educates current supervisors on new, effective strategies for leading and encouraging employees. (DemandMedia Inc, 2012)
Training current employees for future job responsibilities helps you develop employees from within. As employees see current employees move up within the organizational structure, they will be motivated to participate in training programs and put extra effort in performing their current job responsibilities in the hope of moving up themselves. Planning for future leaders within your organization also reduces your employee turnover and associated costs. Identifying employees for future promotion and reviewing performance appraisals and continuing to develop current managers will cut cost in training and recruiting. (DemandMedia Inc, 2012)
