It implies building up a specific ability or a conduct perspective to an ideal norm through guidance and 5 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

practice. Preparing are those compelling instruments which can carry a worker into a situation to do his/her work all the more productively, accurately, and scrupulously. It is the medium to expand the information and ability of a representative for making a specific showing and furthermore make him/her future prepared for more testing situations. Our main aim in this course is to assist you with understanding the part of preparing and advancement in the present company's. How about we attempt to comprehend what preparing and improvement implies in the more extensive business setting. Figure 1.1 shows the part of preparing and advancement for the business. Figure 1.1: The Business Role of Training and Development The by and large objective of preparing and improvement is learning. mentalities, or practices. In any case, the focal point of preparing and improvement isn't simply on representatives learning for the wellbeing of its own. Today, only contribution preparing programs isn't sufficient to get backing and financing from heads and to build up the validity of the preparation and improvement capacity to directors and workers. Adapting needs to exhibit how it adds to the organization's upper hand through improving worker execution, supporting the business methodology (like developing the business), and contributing decidedly to business results like quality, profitability, improvement of new items, and holding key representatives. From an organization's viewpoint, what workers realize adds to the improvement of immaterial resources, for example, human capital. 6 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

1.2 TRAINING 1.2.1 Definition Training has numerous ascribes. It improves abilities needed for a task, instructs individuals conquering challenges and increments knowledge. These perspectives have been cited and expounded as follows:  \"Training is the way toward showing new representatives the essential abilities they need to play out their positions\". - Garry Dessler  \"Training is the way toward sending and getting data identified with critical thinking\". - Jack Halloran  \"Training is the demonstration of expanding the information and abilities of a worker for making a specific showing\". - Edwin B. Flippo  \"Training is the coordinated strategy by which individuals master information and improve expertise for an unequivocal reason\". - Dale S. Beach 1.2.2 Scope The extent of preparing relies on the classifications of workers to be trained. It is a ceaseless interaction. It is a lot of needed for the freshers and the accomplished individuals in any and each organization. To put it plainly, everybody needs to go through Preparing; nonetheless, the sort and degree of preparing will rely upon different factors, for example, rank and profile and levels to name a few. Prof. Yoder has sorted the workers into five gatherings and suggested incessant preparing sessions: i. Rank and File: Employees of non-organization or non-director profiles. ii. Supervisory Employees: These are the principal line foremen, chiefs and their administrators on the following level. iii. Staff: Technically specific and expertly skilful representatives of the organization as advisors. iv. Middle Management: These are the administrators between the bosses and individuals in the administration at the most elevated level. v. Top Executives: Executives of the organization are primarily accountable for the whole control and planning. 7 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

1.2.3 Objective Training is an integral and indispensable part that develops an employee. Following objectives are achieved by implementingan effective training roadmap:  Increase in Employee Productivity:Training helps in developing the capabilities of both new and old employees, by upgrading their skills and knowledge. This will enable the company to gainfully avail their services and guidethem in fulfilling positions for higher grades or positions inside the company, whether it is for technical projects, or sales or production and so on. New employees training aims to provide the employees the required ability and wisdomthey need for performing specific tasks. This will guidethe employees to be comfortable with the required skillsets necessaryfor the joband gradually make them more productive. This will in turn inspirethe employees to stick to the company for a prolonged tenure and result in controlled attrition.  Remain Competitive in the Market:Competition is always growing in the target market with new players coming in and existing players wanting to increase their market share. To tackle this tough competition in the market, an employer has to increase worker’s productivityand reduce the production and operational cost. Companies aim to always stay ahead of the game. To support this, training aims to bring about efficiency and efficacy with increased productivity in the employees. This enables the company to enjoy its market share in a highly competitive market and help in achieving the organizational goals.  Improves Approach of the Workers:Training provides new knowledge and required skillsets to employees and assists in bringing about a positive transformationin the attitude with the fellow workers, supervisor, and the company. Increased productivity along with a positive attitude, increases job satisfaction among employees and keeps them motivated to achievemore. It also keeps them secured at the workplace and due to whichcompanies enjoy reduced attrition absenteeism. A positive attitude also helps in self-consciousness and a greater awareness to recognize their responsibilities and contribute their absolute best to the Company.  Enabling Employees to accommodate the Changes Quickly:The professional horizon is very dynamic and poses challenges with changing times. One such dynamic aspect is Technology, which is evolving and changing at a fast pace. Automation and growth of highly mechanized and computer-oriented systems and othersare a threat to dynamic companies. They pose new problems, which need to be handled by new methods, new procedures, new equipment, new jobs, new abilitiesand knowledge, new services andproductsand so on. Employees may refrain from acclimatisingto these alterationsand may feel frustrated and compelled to send a resignation letter. 8 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Training employees on such aspects, willhelp them to learn the technology; enable them to handle other challenges better and they will learn to quickly adapt and find appropriate solutions, thereby keeping their efficiencyand the organizationalgoals in place.  Mitigate Risk of Accidents:Manufacturing andindustrial companies having a high usage of machinery, need to have a trained workforce who can handle the machines safely. Workforcesare coachedon the usage of safety devices in the plant,which makes them considerably less vulnerable toaccidents.  Optimum usage of Timeand Resources:Training aims at making employees more efficient in handling materials, machines and equipment, which enableshigher productivityandgreater utilization of the resources. New skills will help employees to learn quickly. Here, a known fact is that learning through trial anderror will be tediousand, even then, they mayfind it difficult to learn the right method of completing the tasks.  Provide Growth Opportunities to Existing Employees:Many at times management may not fill in higher work profiles by hiring new employees. The skillsets that are required are specific and it would be preferable if these positions can be filled by employees who already have these skills sets and are familiar with the role requirements. An apprenticeship or a talent development program, aiming at improving the skills of the existing employees and makes them ready for higher job profiles in future, comes to the aid of the company by fulfilling these critical positions from within. This reduces the cost and need of recruiting people from outside andimproves the confidence ofthe employeeswho are serving the company.  Helps Management Become More Effective:Primarily, training and development aims at creating the best management team that is efficient in planning and executing the business without any issues. Knowledge gained during the training sessions helps them in handling the tough situations in a better way. This also makes them utilize their effort and time for better business opportunities. It enables inculcating a mechanism with strong values in the employees by improving the worthiness of the team and the individual. Education From an historical perspective education was closely linked to the church in western countries and the number of people receiving education was very limited, as was the case with the guilds. Much of the emphasis was on classics, i.e., Latin and Greek, and there was minimal consideration of practical applications. However, the educated person was often more highly regarded and thus oversaw the craftsperson; a trend which may still be seen today, and which influences recruitment to some disciplines. 9 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Education is characterized as: Activities which target building up the information, abilities, virtues and understanding needed altogether parts of life as opposed to an information and expertise identifying with just a restricted field of movement. The purpose of education is to provide the conditions essential to young people and adults to develop an understanding of the traditions and ideas influencing the society in which they live and to enable them to contribute to it. It involves the study of their own cultures and of the laws of nature, as well as the acquisition of linguistic and other skills which are basic to learning, personal development, creativity and communication. A programme of learning over an extended period with general objectives relating to the personal development of the pupil/student and/or his/her acquisition of knowledge. In addition, education refers to the area of public policy concerned with programmes of learning in a particular jurisdiction taken altogether (e.g., in the context of education expenditure). Activities target building up the information, abilities, virtues and understanding needed altogether parts of life as opposed to information and expertise identifying with just a restricted field of action. The motivation behind instruction is to give the conditions vital for youthful people and grown-ups to build up a comprehension of the customs and thoughts affecting the general public in which they live and to empower them to make a commitment to it. It includes the investigation of their own and different societies and the laws of nature just as the obtaining of phonetic and different abilities which are essential to mastering, self- awareness, inventiveness and communication Education is considerably broader in scope than training and this is perhaps illustrated by the considerably longer definitions above. It also has a less immediate and less specific application than training and is often perceived as being delivered in educational institutions. Education is regarded as encompassing knowledge, skills and attitudes (Bloom et al, 1956). There is a continuing tension between the needs of industry and commerce with their immediate requirements for specific skills and the educational requirements of the individual and society which need people who can contribute to the quality of life in a multi-faceted way. There is therefore a tension between traditional education and training provision which is illustrated by Dearden. But training can be, and often is, very illiberally conceived, and then it may not merely be uneducational but even anti-educational. As an example of the uneducational, one might mention the recent controversy over whether trainees in the YTS (Youth Training Scheme) should be given any opportunity to consider the social significance of work as part of their 'off-the-job' provision. 10 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Distinguishing between education and training can be quite problematic. One very illustrative example of the difference between education and training would be a young child coming home and saying, 'We had sex training today!' This is in stark contrast to sex education classes that imply a theoretical rather than a practical application of learning! 1.3 FUNCTIONS OF TRAINING ● Orientation New employee orientation is playing a prominent role in hiring. It prepares the employees for new roles and acclimates them to the company. Employee orientation program is very much essential to get connected to the new role. The focus on the number of orientation sessions depends on the employee’s position in the company. Hourly employee’s orientation can be done in a day.managerial level orientation can be conducted for two weeks based on job roles. ● Compliance Compliance training is highly recommended by the U.S. department of labour. This encompasses workplace violence, sexual harassment, drug andalcohol, andsafety in the workplace This training will enable employees to handle situations confidently. Policies andprocedures are listed, andthe happenings are openly shared. Such awareness trainings help the employees and the company from facing any legal obligations. ● Leadership Leadership training prepares the employees to take up the managerial roles confidently. Succession planning is the right path to enable the current employees to take over the managerial roles. Retirement is inevitable and some positions are difficult to fill. Succession planning helps in prepping up the employees to take over the managerial roles successfully. ● Career Planning Employee’s career is also dependent on the proper kind of training and development. Effective counselling helps to set their career goals which in turn helps them to continue in the company. Career counselling instils much needed confidence in the employees. According to SHRM, career counselling is an important component of succession planning. ● Research Research plays asignificant role in HR training. Conduct different skill development programs. 11 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Research should be an ongoing process in training. This will enable to create latest and relevant training programs. Assessing the needs of all employees is very much essential for their success. All these will be a steppingstone towards the company’s success. ● Need Assessment The training team is particularly adept at conducting needs assessments They find the skill sets of the employee andcome up with the type of training employees need, in order to meet the workforce of thecompanyand staffing goals. Regular assessment is required for the growth of the company and it iscritical as hiring new staff costs higher than training an existing workforce. 1.3.1 Beneficiaries Employer ● They turn out to be more effective in problem solving and decision making. ● Improve the morale of the workforce ● Helps people identify the company goals ● Aids in developing leadership skills, motivation, loyalty and better attitude ● Aids in improving productivity and quality of work ● Aids in understanding and following the policies ● Aids in company development ● Helps in creating the right platform for growth and communication. ● Employees can easily adapt to the changes.

These includegroup dynamics, shared leadership, planning of group activities, savings, credit, accounting, cooperative management, monitoring and evaluation, negotiation andbargain. Certain behavioural issues like fostering thrift habits and overcoming addictive habits such as irrational spending, drinking, gambling, and so on. are also addressed by some companies. Specialized Training Specialized training can be planned dependent on the sort of venture and explicit representative gathering needs. It is needed for explicit gatherings associated with explicit tasks. Hardly any models are:  Farming-Yield creation, little domesticated animals improvement, soil and water protection, limited scope fishery, hydroponics, ranger service, gathering showcasing, thus on.  Non-Cultivating activities such as weaving, fitting, ceramics, creation of house- building materials or of high-quality things in wood, bamboo, metal, cowhide, thus on.  Activities like upkeep, transport, etc. additionally require specific trainings.

Field activity workshops directed by effective members. vii. Inter-bunch trade visits and between bunch assessment exercises viii. Pretends and socio shows any place necessary. Important to keep in mind here is the training equipment and material. Each group will need basic extension material- elementary stationery and a blackboard Each gathering will require a slate, a camera, collapsing show sheets, portable radio and conceivably a slide-projector and a video-recording device. The nearby creation of basic Preparing material by the gatherings ought to be fulfilled. Training of Gathering Advertisers, Undertaking Facilitator and Other Venture Staff At a Focal task activity level, this preparation points at:  Introducing the field labourers to the significance of development.  Fostering an inspirational demeanour, inspiration, and group spirit.  Trying different strategies to annihilate poverty.  Teaching the fundamental specialized subjects to all the gathering members.  Enabling the gathering to comprehend the gathering elements, to improve investment, credit and reserve funds, assessment, observing and accounting.  Stimulating the gathering in self-advancement and learning of the various strategies for preparing content.

1.4 LEARNING CONCEPTS Learning is a process of appropriation ofskills, knowledge and abilities to make a person’s s own, to improve the collective or personal control latent of shaping the reality for the given situation or context. Learning has many definitions and meanings.Some educationists define it as a process, learning to perform better, to learn new things and retain the acquired knowledge. and some define Learning as acquisition and retention of knowledge. According to Gestalt, “The fundamental of Learning is to acquire knowledge after analysing the entire structure. Also, learning is the response to the whole situation.” 1.4.1 Forces Influencing Work and Learning Various factors have influenced the current working and learning styles: ● Globalization of Business:Companies operate on an international or global scale and hence different economies work together to provide and produce goods and services. Businesses buy and sell all over the world owing to factors such as cheaper cost, availability of required products or cheaper labour. Some products manufactured at a particular location are preferred. E.g., Italian pizza and pasta or Champagne, the sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France. Exports, Imports, and location are three main elements of globalization. Keeping these factors in mind, the learning must be in tune with the working aspects. ● Demographic Changes and Diversity of Workforce:The work force has people from all walks of life. Age, race, gender and socio-economic culture, are important factors to be considered for a seamless learning process. ● Increase in Ethnic and Racial Diversity:companies would have multiple ethnic groups whose members identify with each other through factors such as language, common heritage, culture, and so on.companies also do not discriminate theemployee’s basis their caste, creed or colour. Training is needed so that despite these differences, employees understand what is expected of them and follow service standards as expected. ● Aging Work Force:Today people are healthier and have a longer life span and hence there is opportunity to work longer. We are witnessing an emerging trend for qualified older employees to work part time or for few months. Training is essential Due to workforce diversity. ● New Technology: Ithas modified the method of working and training. Technology has created an impact on all sectors with Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, 16 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Nanotechnology, CAD and so on. Technology has influenced our working style greatly to include: i. Influence on Training: Technological changes have greatly impacted training delivery methods to reduce operational cost. They are more realistic and are accessible such that employee can choose when and where to learn. New technologies include iPods, mobiles, e-mails, DVD and CD’s, internet and satellite. ii. Flexibility in Where andWhen Work is Performed:Technological advancement has enabled employees to select their learning and working location. ● Economic Cycles:Economic downturn leads to economic changes.Hence training is very much essential to understand the strategies of the business. ● Increased Value Placed on Intangible Assets and Human Capital: Thethree important assets that are very much essential for aCompany to provide better services are: i. Financial Assets (securities andcash) ii. Physical Assets (such as plant, property and equipment) iii. Intangible Assets (important capitals like customers, manpower, social and intellectual assets)companies have increased the value placed on these assets: a) Human Capital: This consists of the knowledge, energy and life experience gained by the employees (e.g., Education, Work- related know- how) b) Social Capital: It refers to network relationships in the Company. (e.g., managerial and corporate culture and practices) c) Customer Capital:This pertains to the person’s relationship inside or outside the Company which in turn helps in meeting the Company’s goals (e.g., Brands, customer relationship) d) Intellectual Capital: It pertains to the copyrights and patents of the Company. The three main implications of Intangible assets and Human capital are: i. Employee knowledge. ii. Employee engagement. iii. Ongoing learning and changes. ● Focus on Business Strategy: Company’s actions, policies and goals are an integral part of Company’s Business Strategy. The main aim of the strategy is to work upon increasing the profitability, quality and the market share. ● Talent Management: Attracting, motivating, developing and retaining the highly skilled employees is the main of talent management. e.g., a sales manager is trained on the technical processes of product flow and delivery so that he upgrades his 17 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

knowledge and is able to handle any critical requirements that may arise in future. Talent management is critical owing to following factors: Occupational and Job Changes: Employees may increase in the service sectors. Retirement:With the older generation retiring, the implication in work force becomes enormous. New workers should be trained to learn the key functions of the job. Skill Requirement:Two main skills needed for any job are: a) Cognitive skill:Verbal reasoning and mathematical skills b) Interpersonal skill: Ability to interact with customers, teamwork and knowledge sharing.Talent management will develop these skillsets in the employee. i. Developing Leadership: An effective leadership is very much essential for a successful global economy. ● Customer Service and Quality:Customer driven excellence includes reduction in errors, meeting the requirements, reducing complaints and turnaround time for complaint resolution. Employees require knowledge of the productand servicing skills for excelling at Customer service. TQM (Total Quality Management) is improving the way people, machines and Systems complete the given task.Training involves teaching employees how to meet quality challenge and engaging them in Lean thinking process.Lean thinking is a method of fulfilling customer’s needs with minimal equipment, effort, time and space. ● High Performance Work Systems:The Company demands High performance and enables employees to achieve it through: i. Work Teams:It consists of employees with multiple skills to work together for a project. ii. Cross Training:It means enabling the employees to learn and perform a variety of skills. iii. Virtual Team: This pertains to employees who are working in different geographies, time zones and culture.They connect and interact through the internet, mail and video conferencing. 1.5 CHALLENGES FACED IN TRAINING Though Training is an extremely critical aspect of an employee’s professional growth, some challenges need to be acknowledged: ● Diluted Concentration: When an employee is at work, the single pointed focus is concentration on work and productivity. However, at times Training and Work is happening simultaneously, resulting in diluted concentration in both Training and Work. Training may be perceived as less important than day-to-day responsibilities, especially when there are targets to meet and metrics that depend on performance. 18 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

● Increase in Employees’ Stress:To keep the employees updated with latest technology and trends in their Business, long training hours may be planned, which increases the employees’ stress as this takes away the Business time. ● Fear of Obsoletion: companies plan long Training road maps to keep their employees updated with the knowledge required.Chances are there that by the time the employee completes the learning journey, concepts learned may become obsolete. ● More Theory than Practical; Training of some departments/aspects may involve more theory than practical. Theory could be unrealistic and hard to use and hence makes learning tough for the employees. ● Lack of Interest DuringLong Training Hours: Sometimes the duration of the Training may be too long to keep the employee engaged and hence the employee may lose interest. 1.6DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING, LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT The current methodology of Preparing and Advancement is that Indian organizations have understood the significance of corporate Preparing. Preparing is presently considered as a significant maintenance instrument than cost.Indian industry has made a preparation framework which helps in building a brilliant labour force which yields best results. Training and Advancement is a significant field in Human Asset The board. It assumes an essential part in improving a person's presentation just as a gathering. It has been known by a few names, including representative Turn of events, Human Asset Improvement, and Learning and Development. Training and Development encompasses three main activities:  Development.  Learning  Training Costine , Garavan, and Heraty, from the Irish Institute of Training and Development, , note that these thoughts are regularly viewed as interchangeable. In any case, to professionals, they incorporate three isolates, albeit interrelated, activities: Training: Training is an activity that focusses and evaluates an individual against his current job. ● Learning: Learning is the methodology of enhancing the GeneralKnowledgeand understanding of employees. It is a person-oriented, theory-based Knowledge whose main purpose is to improve the understanding of a particular subject or theme. 19 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

● Development: Development is very much essential for all the employees in aCompany.It is very much needed to design an individual’s future and growth in aCompany. 1.7 SNAPSHOT OF TRAINING PRACTICES Training can play a key role in helping companies gain a competitive advantage and successfully deal with competitive challenges. Before you can learn how training can be used to help companies meet their business objectives, and before you can understand training design, training methods, and other topics covered in the text, you need to become familiar with the amount and type of training that occurs in the United States. Also, you must understand what trainers do. The next sections of this chapter present data regarding training practices (e.g., how much companies spend on training, what type of training is occurring, and who is being trained), as well as the skills and competencies needed to be a trainer. 1.8 FUTURE TRENDS IN TRAINING Technological progresses address one pattern that is probably going to impact the eventual fate of preparing and improvement and your future as a trainer. Future trends that will affect training are  Need to add to sustainability  Use of new innovations for preparing conveyance at instruction  Breakthroughs in neuroscience about learning  Greater accentuation on speed in plan, centre around content  Increased accentuation on catching and sharing scholarly capital and social learning  Increased utilization of without a moment to spare learning and execution support  Increased accentuation on execution examination, Enormous Information, and learning for business enhancement  Increased utilization of partner cantered getting the hang of, preparing organizations, and rethinking training Training for Sustainability Training and advancement can add to organizations' maintainability activities by giving learning freedoms to workers in organizations in agricultural nations that come up short on the assets, giving advancement encounters to representatives in poor and arising nations that advantage the neighbourhood local area, and instructing managers to secure the environment. Increased Use of New Technologies for Training Delivery and Instruction 20 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

The use of social media, smartphones, and other new technologies will likely increase in the future for several reasons. First, the cost of these technologies will decrease. Second, companies can use technology to better prepare employees to serve customers and generate new business. Third, utilization of these new advances can significantly decrease the preparation costs identified with carrying geologically scattered workers to one focal preparing area (e.g., travel, food, and lodging). Fourth, these innovations permit coaches to incorporate into preparing large numbers of the alluring highlights of a learning climate (e.g., practice, criticism, support).

UNIT - 2STRATEGIC TRAINING STRUCTURE 2.0 Learning Objectives 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Evolution of Training Role 2.3 Strategic Training and Development Process 2.3.1 The Models of Strategic Training 2.4. Summary 2.5 Keywords 2.6 Learning Activity 2.7 Unit End Questions 2.8 References 2.0 LEARNING OBJECTIVES After studying this unit, student will be able to: ● Explain how the company’s strategy determines the amount of training required for current or future job skills. ● Outline the evolution of the training role in the profession and how this will link with business strategy. ● Describe different models of strategic training. ● Explain the importance of the way training is planned and systematically administered as compared to other HR practices. ● Explain how business strategy influences the type and amount of training in acompany. ● Describe the strategic training and development process. 2.1 INTRODUCTION Strategy is concerned with a number of dimensions:  The range of a company's activities.  The matching of the company's activities to the environment.  The matching of the company's activities to available resources. 26 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Strategy is the direction and scope of an organisation over the long term: ideally, which matches its resources to the changing environment, and in particular its markets, customers or clients so as to meet stakeholder expectations. A number of strategic pressures have contributed to the increasing importance and Strategic role of HRD,and these include: • Accelerated rate of change. • Focus on quality. • Globalization of business. • Increased flexibility and responsiveness of companies. • Increased pressure to demonstrate the contribution of human resources. • New competitive structures. • New technology. Strategic Human Resource Improvement (HRD) can be seen as a proactive, framework wide intercession, with it connected to key arranging and social change. This differences with the conventional perspective on preparing and improvement as comprising of receptive, piecemeal intercessions because of explicit issues. HRD must be vital in the event that it is fused into the in general corporate business procedure. It is in this manner that the HRD work achieves the status it needs to endure and to affect generally business execution and react to huge serious and mechanical pressures. In the present environment, sources of competitive advantage are quickly overcome by competitors and, thus, the only source of competitive advantage is the ability of acompany to learn more quickly than others. This learning does not occur in an abstract form within the Company but in the minds of individuals and groups. For this reason,Drucker talks about the post-capitalist society and emphasizes the fact that value now resides inside the heads of the employees and much less within the capital assets of the Company. Strategic HRD enables: • The Company to respond to challenges and opportunities through the identification and delivery of HRD interventions. • Individuals, supervisors, line managers and top managers to be informed of their roles and participate in HRD delivery. • Management to have operational guidelines which explain the reasons for investment in HRD. • Information to be disseminated which explains the training, education, development and learning opportunities available for employees. 27 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

• A policy statement to explicitly describe the relationship between the objectives of the Company and the HRD function. • A positive public relations awareness for new and potential employees to know that skills deficiencies will be provided for. • The consistent appraisal of learning and improvement openings for its representatives and consequently empowering them to propel their professions and backing Authoritative growth. • Clearly indicated destinations and focuses on that empower the HRD capacity to be thought about in contrast to key requirements. • Policies which relate the HRD capacity to the next working functions. • Training, instruction, advancement and learning freedoms to have an organized role within an efficient process. Strategic Trainingis a form of training, which, according to a business’s strategic planning, values, and goals, provides employees with the necessary tools and information required to effectively accomplish their tasks. Moreover, it also impacts employee performance by leading to an increase in their productivity. Learning as a primary objective means that acompany has ample bandwidth to grasp, assimilate and change.It implies that it can scrutinize and synchronize training methodologies with business outcomes. Training is considered to be a structured process evolved to develop Human Capital. Strategy Impacts Training An apt strategy plan is dependent on the extent of training allotted towards present or future job skills. It could also include customized training processes in alignment with the specific needs of acompany or its employees. The strategy plan also helps to discern the effectiveness of the training session in logically resolving problems. Furthermore, it emphasizes the value of training over other human resource management practices, such as selection and compensation. Strategic plan as a model thus stresses on performance outcomes leading to the fulfilment of business goals. Therefore, the learning experience must be in sync with core business objectives. 28 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

2.2 EVOLUTION OF TRAINING ROLE In the most recent 30 years, the part of the Human Asset designer has changed from preparing people to that of encouraging learning. There has been a move in the manner a representative is seen, from being viewed as an asset tothat of a resourceful person, who requires nurturance, which would prove to be advantageous for the Company and society at large. ’Learning companies’ became a trend in the eighties and nineties wherein the economic advantages of a learning culture were recognized. Staff Training and Development gained prominence with increased budgets, full training rooms with surplus materials aimed at upskilling the workforce necessary for the Company’s success.Learning and Advancement was an enormously beneficial endeavour, offering force to a totally different industry of Publishers, Consultancies, and Preparing companies. Three decades ago, employee training needs were warehoused on a database outlining each role specification within aCompany. Later more complex databases would evaluate the validity and e training materials currency and certificates, thereby providing evidence of its compliance. However, they hardly resembled the intricate Learning Management Systems used today. Training and Development has evolved as a role and function with its primary focus shifting from building technical expertise within a domain and retention mechanism, to, building Leadership capability and engagement of the talent within the Company. Evolution of the Role of Training at a Glance Figure 2.1: Role of training 29 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

In this representation of the role of training, learning refers to the knowledge acquired by individuals, andcompany’s employees, or groups who readily apply this knowledge when working on assignments, making decisions, or completing Company’s tasks. ● Learning: Knowledge acquisition by individuals, employees, or teams who readily apply this knowledge at work, when making decisions, and completing Company’s tasks. ● Knowledge i. Human and Social Knowledge: Knowledge that individuals or a group of employees possess or can do. ii. Structured Knowledge: Company’s rules, processes, tools, and routine. iii. Explicit Knowledge: Knowledge that can be codified, formalized and easily communicated. iv. Tacit Knowledge: Personal knowledge, that is specific to each individual, derived from personal experiences. It is usually difficult to articulate or verbalize this to others. Role of Technology in Evolution In this ever-changing fast-paced world where SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud) is disrupting the world and becoming a game-changer for New Technologies in the Business; Companies are also riding this new wave and adapting to digitization. What has been the impact of this new wave on Company and the way employees learn? Digitalization has not only affected the Company structure but also changed the way people function and get work done. From Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), workplace flexibilit y including work from home options to accomplishing tasks through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, companies have increasingly become automated from the routine assembly line to white-collar jobs. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is changing the previous Company patterns be it Employee Engagement and Exit, Recruitment, and Talent Management. This trend in automation has caught on and will impact different jobs across industries. Trends in Learning and Development The learning space is rapidly changing and the increasing demand for micro-learning which consists of structured and personalized bite-sized videos is on the rise. Bite-sized videos are accessible and enable employees learn and retain key information easily. An additional advantage is its huge reach across various locations and people. ● Virtual Reality Gamification has emerged as a leading and inventive system of learning, enabling the direct experience of the practical applications of learning. 30 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

● Just-In-Time (JIT): Virtual Learning is now the fastest and effortless means to connect to billions of employees at different locations simultaneously. A highly effective learning tool, companies readily invest in JIT learning. ● Big-Data and Analytics: Many top companies, have already started leveraging Learning Technologies to design training programs based on data-driven learning strategies, Big data Analysis and measurement of learning outcomes. The abundance of data and information available can also be applied to develop effective training initiatives in the future, predict potential outcomes, and evaluate learning and behavioural patterns of participants. ● Open Online Learning Platforms: A major chunk of the population worldwide browse and rely on search engines like Google. Companies equipped with internal search engines, interactive online learning platforms with opportunities for both formal and informal learning, enable learning and information sharing among employees in addition to connecting and interacting with people in real-time across domains and geographies. ● Skills Development: The year 2016 saw massive growth in technical skills such as IT and Software Development, Data Analytics and Design Thinking and Office Productivity which would continue to grow twofold in future. and Concerning soft skills and leadership, the emphasis has been on Cross-Cultural Communication, Etiquette, Making Impactful Presentations, Leadership Presence, along with Critical Thinking, Design Thinking, Creativity and Innovation. Due to the change in Performance Management Systems, with transparency being a key theme for companies, the need for communicating effective and timely feedback followed by coaching by the immediate manager has become imperative for every business and L and D head. ● Blended Learning: Currently, companies are utilizing a blended methodology of learning, combining both formal and informal learning, supported by video-based training classes, online games, coaching along with other learning tools. The blended learning approach with its varied options from Video, Online content, Web/mobile- based platforms to immersive Technology and all-day Learning festivals would be continued to be provided by L and D professionals. ● With an increase in the demand for niche skillsets within companies and industries, they would have to focus on developing in-house talent. This would require effective collaboration between the L and D and industry leaders to identify the specific needs of the industry with the objective of mapping it to employee’s career aspirations, engage and develop them, to finally drive the talent pipeline to accomplish business goals. While we are familiar with training matrices and anchored it for evaluating course completion rates and test scores, what is important is how predictive models are built using 31 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

Big Data and Analytics, to understand its impact on the learner’s behaviour post the learning activity, percentage of learners who would apply the learning at work, the learning path adopted by them, and subsequent business goals they would choose. 2.3 STRATEGIC TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Figure 2.2: Strategic Training and Development Process Business Strategy Here, the focus is on the mission, values, and goals. From the perspective of Training and Development (T and D), this information is critical in designing initiatives that align with the mission and values and also support the actions required to accomplish Company goals. Identification of Strategic Training and Development Initiatives Strategic simply implies the specific actions that you will use to do something more effectively and efficiently. T and D initiatives will differ from Company to Company. However, common initiatives consist in improving Customer Service, Expertise and Retention, and diversification in Knowledge Management. Depending on the scope and specialty of the Company, the criteria within all identified initiatives will vary. For example, Engineering firms will have different T and D activities as compared to law firms. Identification of Training and Development Actions Actions carry out initiatives. Strategic actions are developed to carry out specific initiatives for bringing about desired outcomes. The activities will comprise Monitoring and Distribution of Training, Planning and Implementation. These are tailored to fit the specific initiative. For example, if Knowledge Management System needs to be developed, it will 32 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

require specific actions to support it along with the inclusion of main and sub-elements in the core phases of Planning, Monitoring and Implementing. Monitoring Metrics Key Performance Indicators allow management with the chance to review the effectiveness or the lack thereof for each initiative and related action. Metrics help in monitoring more than just financial performance. Metrics can track and quantify performance in Learning, Quality and Application. The metrics should be in alignment with each specific initiative, action, and timeframe. This can be illustrated with an example concerning Knowledge Management initiative, wherein evaluating metrics relating to specific actions of the initiative would enable the management in assessing performance, identify the impact of activities on achieving set outcomes. Metrics will allow the management to identify interventions to adjust performance or whether the actions are on track. There are numerous ways data can be used to help improve decisions related to specific initiatives. The key is to create the right kind of data, know how to track it, know how to review the data, and do something fruitful with it. Essentially, the Strategic Training and Development process is similar to the Strategic Planning process. It includes Need Identification, evaluating alternatives and initiatives, Establishment of action steps and Key Performance Indicators, Addressing the right audience, Monitoring, Implementation, and Re-evaluation. However, its scope lies within the context of training and development needs. It is desirable to scrutinize minute details of the talent wing or Company's needs. This process leads to logically viewing the core success categories, and actions are tailored according to specific needs. 2.3.1 Models of Strategic Training ● Faculty Model: comprises Technology and Computer Systems, Safety and Quality Training, Sales Training, Leadership Development and so on. ● Customer Model: comprises Marketing, Information Systems, Production and Operations, Finance, and so on. ● Matrix Model: Apart from the Faculty Model Training Speciality areas, it also comprises Production and Operations and Marketing. ● Corporate University Model: comprises programs for newly hired employees and Leadership Development. ● Virtual Model: operates according to three principles: i. Learning is the primary responsibility of employees. ii. Effective on-the-job learning iii. Existence of a decent chief representative relationship is critical 33 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

It is the process by which managers or executives acquire skills and competency in their present jobs and capabilities for future tasks. Development is means to impart advanced knowledge and competencies to employees. Development is a continuous process that helps build competencies of employees and thus facilitates their all-rounded growth. This term when generally used in context of managers or executives and is mentioned as ‘Management Development’ or ‘Executive Development’. While Development is overall improvement – technical as well as problem solving skills in employees and makes them fully capable of handling more work-related responsibilities, Training goes in depth for refining specific skills and operations. Human asset advancement alludes to the incorporated utilization of preparing and improvement, organization advancement, and profession advancement to improve individual, gathering, and viability of the organization. Human asset advancement experts may be associated with work and undertaking examination, instructional frameworks plan, hands on preparing, and individual execution improvement. Organizational improvement experts may zero in preparing just as group building, strife evasion, worker advancement, and change the board. Ability the board experts may zero in on recognizing the top ability in the organization and guaranteeing that they get the preparation and improvement expected to advance them or set them up for new positions. Learning experts may zero in on conventional preparing and advancement exercises just as guaranteeing that casual learning and information sharing happens through utilization of interpersonal interaction devices. As you can see from these portrayals, preparing and advancement exercises can be the obligation of human asset the board, human asset improvement, and Authoritative advancement experts or departments. Keep as a top priority that paying little mind to what individual, office, or capacity is capable, for preparing and advancement to succeed, workers, supervisors, preparing experts, and top administrators all need to take possession for them. All through this book, the fact is made that despite the fact that preparation might be a proper obligation of somebody's work, representatives at all levels of the organization assume a part in the achievement of preparing. Likewise, paying little mind to what capacity or office is answerable for preparing and improvement, it should be lined up with the business procedure and should uphold business needs. Experts who are liable for preparing and improvement may have particular subject 39 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

matters, for example, change the executives for Authoritative advancement subject matter experts, however they may likewise have preparing and improvement obligations. To perform work environment learning and execution jobs effectively, experts should comprehend the business and should dominate the capabilities and regions of expertise. As companies grow and/or recognize the important role of training for business success, they form an entire training or learning function. The training function may include instructional designers, instructors, technical training, and experts in instructional technology. 3.2 IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPMENT Addressing Weakness To arrive at a good skill match for any position, addressing areas of weakness is important step. Once training can upgrade the employee skill set, confidence in one’s abilities can make an employee meet and exceed expectations.Improving Performance Once equipped with the required skills and having converted an area of weakness into strength, employee can execute tasks with better ideas and complete understanding.

And is a key area for creating human development. In a human society exploration, discovery and acquisition of knowledge lead to continuous growth. When we discuss management development as a field of training, we are likely to bypass the overall process of developing the entire workforce.This development refers to educating the workforce both in theoretical and managerial skills that too in an organized manner. Experts in companybehaviour sometimes are way too conscious of the need for management development, leading to overlooking the fact that on its own any business activity is a process that leads to development of the society. Leadership development is an important area which needs mobilization of organizationalresources. While it might not always be possible to deploy resources immediately,however,companiescan try to apportion these resources over a span of time. The importance of deploying resources in such a way stems from the necessity to train large segments of the industrial workforce in performing their basic tasks effectively. In a country like India, where almost one third of the population is illiterate and have earnings below poverty line, achieving desired levels of development can be even more difficult. 3.3.1 Definition of Management Development \"Management development is a business-driven cycle. The business figures out what sort of administrators it needs to achieve its essential objectives just as how to get and grow such directors. In spite of the fact that there is pressure of self-advancement, the business should show the bearings towards which self-improvement ought to happen\" (Armstrong) According to Molander, \"The executives advancement is a cognizant and deliberate cycle to control the improvement of administrative assets in the organization for the accomplishment of objectives and strategies.\" 41 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
