This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper applies a typical human capital model to provide evidence of contributions of off-job skills formation ("education") and on-job skills formation ("training") using a merged file from long-form and short-form questionnaires surveys data collected in Papua New Guinea in late 1989. The results show training to have weaker explanatory power than education for returns to labour, and suggest that training programs should concentrate on relatively tightly packaged skills formation through short-duration programs that fairly closely target skill needs for the efficient performance of present work requirements or that prepare for imminent steps in career paths within the internal labour markets of firms. Adaptation of management information systems is required for effective use of the human capital paradigm for evaluation of investment in on-job training and avoidance of wasteful "trainingism."

Book excerpt: Do You Want to Make Better Use of Your Organizational Resources and Create More Relevant, More Effective Training? The emergence of the knowledge economy has brought new challenges to most organizations. To succeed, organizations have to respond quickly to this continuum of change. Off-the-job training requires a sizeable investment in organizational resources with sometimes questionable outcomes. This book, Implementing On-the-Job Learning, will illustrate how other companies have used and implemented a particular approach to facilitating employee learning in organizations—structured on-the-job learning. Structured on-the-job learning programs have the potential to make better use of your organization’s resources and create training that is more relevant and effective. This casebook should interest anyone involved in human resource development, especially those who make decisions regarding the design and delivery of training programs. The primary audience is practitioners who want to implement on-the-job training programs but have been frustrated in their attempts to find solid, real-life examples. Instructors, students in university and seminar settings, and researchers will also find this book to be a useful reference. Another audience is organization managers who want to make sure that trainers are adequately informed about potential training options. No matter how you plan to use this book, you will find it a valuable tool as you decide how to best meet the training, development, and performance goals of your organization. ASTD is proud to present the 27th book in the IN ACTION Series offering 13 case studies from a variety of organizations.

Download or read book Skill Wars written by Edward E. Gordon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skill Wars shows how to increase productivity and profits by making investments in human capital development. It addresses the disparity between the available jobs and available workers. By education and training only 20% of all American workers can fit well into our demanding high-tech workplace. How do we train the 80%? Skill Wars defines the race between advanced technology investment and human resources investment and shows managers how to measure that investment. It introduces a Human Capital Scoreboard of seven new business management/measurement tools including a more accurate calculation of ROI (Return on Investment) for employee performance improvement programs. It also provides case studies of how quality training can deliver on more problem-solving/thinking skills. It has a foreword by Joseph Boyett, author of The Guru Guide and Workplace 2000. Skill Wars is a "basic workplace performance primer" that presents complex issues in a simple language and format that will move both business leaders and the American public to give their popular support. There are few viable alternatives. Gordon believes that, "Only at great peril can Americans continue to largely ignore the workplace as an important arena that helps structure learning for life."

Download or read book Human Resource Talent Development written by Ronald R. Sims and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly transforming environment that we live in has made human resource development (HRD) all the more necessary for the success of today’s organizations. HRD initiatives help their organizations by developing employees who assist their organizations in not only surviving, but thriving in our increasingly global world. Today’s best practice or benchmarked organizations and their HRD professionals continue to recognize the importance of employee learning, knowledge, skills and motivation to organizational success. This recognition increasingly opens many doors as organizational leaders accept the fact that HRD initiatives can be used to ensure that organization members have what it takes to successfully meet the demands that confront them and their organizations. This book takes the position that HRD can demonstrate how their initiatives help to develop a superior workforce so that the organization and its individual employees can accomplish their strategic and operational goals in service to their clients or customers. This book is written with the belief that HRD professionals have many opportunities to learn, change and find ways both in and outside of the workplace to contribute to the development of learning organizations as we move further into the 21st century. A major point of this book is that HRD will continue to become more and more important to organizational success when one considers the increased responsibilities HRD professionals have taken on during and post- the COVID pandemic. The primary audience for this book is practicing HRM and HRD professionals, and other organizational leaders. The book provides proven ideas important to demonstrating the value of HRD. From a practical viewpoint, it is based on actual experience, a strong research base, and accepted practices presented in an easy to read form. A second target audience is students of HRD and HRM who are preparing for careers in this important field. This book will help them develop a solid foundation to the study of HRD practices or initiatives that are key to HRD success regardless of the type of organization. A third target audience is managers or leaders at all levels of an organization who are expected to take on a number of HRD responsibilities (e.g., as trainers, coaches, mentors, change agents, and so on) while regularly partnering with HRD professionals. It offers these individuals a firsthand look at what they should expect of their HRD functions or areas and how they can effectively work with HRD professionals in their organizations to achieve the organizations strategic goals by getting the most out of its human people.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EUROTECNET program has been refocused to concentrate more on continuing vocational education as the area of greatest need across the European Community. Four priority fields or domains of innovative activity have been defined for the final 2 years of EUROTECNET. Priority domain 1 is innovative training needs analysis with a special focus on core competencies. A Europe-wide proposed classification categorizes technical, methodological, social, and behavioristic core competencies. Priority domain 2 is transfer of innovative methodologies for the planning and management of training in the framework of human resources development. The company as a learning organization is proposed, with changing roles of managers and workers and an increased role of the social partners in supporting the learning organization. Priority domain 3 is training providers as innovative service centers for enterprises. Requirements are systematic continuing training of employees in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and a new "training consultancy" approach between training institutions and SMEs. Priority domain 4 is innovative pedagogical methodologies and approaches. Trends in this area are as follows: learning situations closely related to work situations; independence and responsibility of individuals; involvement of all actors in training; and a continuous learning process. Training systems must include partnerships with industry, paradigmatic changes, and a lifelong learning continuum. (Appendices list EUROTECNET national strategic conferences and 49 publications.)
