    While organizational development is contingent on how employees will perform in their daily job functions, employee training offers the opportunity to further develop the employee's attitude, skill set, knowledge, and reactions to possible stressors.

    Employee Training and Career Development

    According to DeCenzo and Robbins (2007) employee training is defined as “changing skills, knowledge, attitudes, or behavior” of an employee; and is considered “present-day oriented”; focusing on the employees current position, by enhancing his or her skills for that specific job and the ability to perform that job. The development of an organization depends on the performance and the ability accomplish his or her job. According to Glance, Hogg, and Huberman (1997) “an organization’s decision whether or not to train its workers affects the overall economy, even if the firm does not factor the economy into its decision” (p.84). Organizations benefit from having well trained employees that are able to adjust to new changes within the organization and perform at a higher level. With well trained employees the organizations increases production within the organization. Training cost for training employees can be extremely high; however, the long-term benefits in the decrease in employee turnover. Organizations are willing to invest further employee development once the employee has demonstrated he or she is able to perform all job requirements.…

    Pest Analysis

    Companies who work hard to meet the needs of their employees can cultivate a work atmosphere conducive to productivity. Being able to plan for the needs of employees by thinking ahead can help to improve the rate of skilled employees who chose to remain working for a company. Improving the employee retention rate can reduce the money companies spend on finding and training new employees. It is important to consider employees may want or need and what the company can reasonably supply. Providing specialized on-site training, even if provided by senior members of the company, and offering one-on-one assessment and coaching sessions, can help employees reach peak performance rates. After being hired on, a strong training and mentoring program can help a new member of the staff get up to speed on company policies and any current or ongoing projects they will be working on. To help employees perform at their best, a company can follow up with continual training programs, coaching, and regular assessment. Investing in the development of its employees can allow a company to turn out more consistent products.…
