Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most critical functions of Human Resources management is training and development. The goal of this training is to improve the abilities and knowledge of employees by exposing them to new ways of working. Employee Training and Development improves an organization's efficiency and productivity by enhancing the skills and knowledge of its employees, who in turn become more productive. Structured learning and behavioural change should be implemented in order to reduce employees' oddities and eccentricities. An employee's performance can be improved through training and development, or learning and development. Activities associated with employee training and development are designed to help employees improve their performance in their current roles and to encourage them to do their very best work so that they can demonstrate their suitability for advancement and raises in pay during their annual performance reviews. It refers to the bustle of additional information and instruction that is needed to improve the quality of performance in the workplace. HR Training and Development are two separate activities that work together for the benefit of the employee's overall well-being. Training is a short-term, reactive process used for operations, whereas executive development is a long-term, proactive process. There are two distinct goals in human resources management (HRM) training and development: to improve the employee's skills and to enhance his or her general personality. Often, management takes the initiative to train employees to fill in the gaps in the company's skill set, with the goal of preparing for future succession. In HRM, employee training and development is defined as a system used by an organisation to enhance the skills and performance of its employees. To sharpen existing skills, introduce new concepts, and improve employee performance, it is an educational tool. Based on a thorough analysis of the company's training needs, a well-executed training and development programme can help employees become more productive.

Employees frequently receive job-specific training to help them succeed in their current roles and contribute to the overall success of the company. It's more common for a development programme to serve as training for some sort of future position. The development of human resources offers employees the chance to learn new skills and prepare for the challenges of the future. In human resources management, training and development are two distinct but interdependent processes that work together to benefit employees as a whole. Training is a short-term, reactive process used for operations, whereas executive development is a long-term, proactive process.

Download or read book The Future of Leadership Development written by Susan Elaine Murphy and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership in today's organizations is a tough business. Organizational leaders face a number of challenges as their jobs, and the world around them, become increasingly complex. Trends, such as organizational "delayering," rapid technological advances, and increased employee empowerment require that leaders adapt their techniques and styles of leadership to meet these new challenges. Consequently, there has been an explosion of interest in leadership in recent years as researchers and management educators struggle to understand the process of leadership development, how it operates, and what characteristics make effective leaders. Born of these questions, the 11th Annual Kravis-de Roulet Leadership Conference at Claremont McKenna College brought together an impressive slate of scholars whose theories, research, and cutting-edge techniques are now gathered together in this impressive volume. Each chapter asks and answers questions about the current state of the field while providing future direction for research to help bridge the gap between leadership researchers and leadership development practitioners. Notable topics include chapters on "e-leadership" and leadership within the "virtual" organization, exploring 360-degree feedback, the importance of "social capital," and a comprehensive analysis of the well-researched theory of Leader Member Exchange.

Download or read book The Peter Principle written by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic #1 New York Times bestseller that answers the age-old question Why is incompetence so maddeningly rampant and so vexingly triumphant? The Peter Principle, the eponymous law Dr. Laurence J. Peter coined, explains that everyone in a hierarchy—from the office intern to the CEO, from the low-level civil servant to a nation’s president—will inevitably rise to his or her level of incompetence. Dr. Peter explains why incompetence is at the root of everything we endeavor to do—why schools bestow ignorance, why governments condone anarchy, why courts dispense injustice, why prosperity causes unhappiness, and why utopian plans never generate utopias. With the wit of Mark Twain, the psychological acuity of Sigmund Freud, and the theoretical impact of Isaac Newton, Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull’s The Peter Principle brilliantly explains how incompetence and its accompanying symptoms, syndromes, and remedies define the world and the work we do in it.
