This book was released on 2014-11-28 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: B, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Business and Economics), course: Ph.D. Economics, language: English, abstract: The quality of Human Resource is an asset to any organization and as a result Training has become an issue that has to be faced by every organization. The amount, and quality of training carried out varies enormously from organization to organization due to factors such as the degree of external change, for instance, new markets or new processes, the adaptability of existing workforce and importantly the extent to which the organization supports the idea of internal career development. Most organizations meet their needs for training in an ad hoc and haphazard way whiles others set about identifying their training needs, then design training activities in a rational manner and finally assess the results of training. This study, therefore, sought to determine the impact of Training and Development on public sector organizations using Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority (GPHA) as a case study. The research was intended to determine the role and impact of training on employees with emphasis on the lower, middle level staff and the administrators of GPHA, who were randomly selected. The study assessed the training and development process of GPHA and whether training has improved employee performance. A questionnaire was designed using structured questions to collect primary data from employees of GPHA. Personal interviews were held with some management staff of the organization. The results indicated that GPHA’s employees were not well informed about training and development programmes in the organization. Most of the employees were of the view that training and development were effective tools for both personal and organizational success. The findings revealed that training practices, methods and activities at GPHA are not in line with the best practices regarding the planned and systematic nature of the training process as is generally known. It was recommended among other things, that the processes involved in training be duly followed, GPHA should help its staff identify their career paths and to guide them in the pursuit of higher education.

Download or read book Effect of Training on Employees Productivity in Public Service Organisation written by Blessing Adegoke and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Personnel and Organisation, grade: 1.0, Bowen University, language: English, abstract: Training is the systematic development of the attitude and skill behaviour pattern required by an individual in order to perform adequately a given task. It is also the systematic modification of behaviour through learning which occurs as a result of education instruction development and planned experiences. Training is designed to change the behaviour of the employee in the work place in order to stimulate efficiency and higher performance standards (Oliseh, 2005:112). The most important resources of an organization are its human resources (the people) who supply the organization with their works, talents creatively and drive. Without competent people at the managerial as well as the operation level, the organization may end up pursuing inappropriate goals. Once the goals have been set for successful and essential ingredients will then come in and the difference between success and failure of an organization is the human element. An industrialist once said "take away all the factories trade, avenues of transportation and in four years, I will have re-established myself".

Download or read book Management of Training and Development written by Surbhi Jain and published by . This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training and Development of Employees have always been a top priority for organizations throughout the world for a long time. Organizations realize that the employees forming the human capital of the organization are their real assets. It is the human capital that uses its intellect, intelligence, skills, and entrepreneurship to take the organization to the heights it wants to achieve. Keeping this in mind, the Training and Development function which used to be taken care of by the Human Resource Department only has now assumed strategic dimensions. The Senior Management fully realizes the potential of the Training and development activities in creating a competitive advantage for the firm in a highly uncertain business environment that is prevalent these days all over the world/. As such, training has become very strategic in the sense that organizations attempt to align the training and development activities with the business strategy of the organization. Any training or learning activity that does not align with the business strategy of the company is simply redundant and is of no use to the organization. Similarly, the employees after the training program is over are required to transfer the skills they have learned during the training program to their organizational routine tasks. If they are unable to do that, again the training would prove to be redundant. However, the transfer of training is very much dependent on the workplace environment and whether the atmosphere in the company as well as the facilities allow the training to be transferred when the trainees are fully willing to do so. In the case of inadequate facilities or a lack of managerial or peer support, transfer of training becomes very difficult to achieve thereby negating the very purpose of the training program. The effectiveness of the training program is measured by looking and examining the learning outcomes. A proper evaluation of the training would include provisions to measure these outcomes and the better the measurement capability, the better the organization would be able to ascertain its effectiveness. Learning outcomes could be related to increasing in sales or productivity, etc. It is also extremely important for the organization to know which learning delivery methods are best suited for its employees. There are many traditional methods that are used the world over and have been in use for a long time but the organizations should try out the newer and modern methods like adaptive learning and social learning, etc. Adaptive learning is employee specific and the power of social learning is being increasingly acknowledged by experts all over the world. With such powerful tools available these days, one can look forward to an era where besides these modern methods, virtual reality and augmented reality would also be used extensively all over the world as their costs would decrease with the advancement of technology over time.
