Training and development methods using by organizations. - Written by Sewwandi Wijesekara
Training and Devlopment practice and methods
Training and development involve improving the effectiveness of organizations and the individuals and teams within them. Training may be viewed as related to immediate changes in organizational effectiveness via organized instruction, while development is related to the progress of longer-term organizational and employee goals.
While training and development technically have differing definitions, the two are oftentimes used interchangeably and/or together. Training and development have historically been topics within adult education and applied psychology but have within the last two decades become closely associated with human resources management, talent management, human resources development, instructional design, human factors, and knowledge management.
Training practice and methods
Training and development encompass three main activities: training, education, and development. The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes. The sponsors of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training and development are business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching, resources, and performance. The participants are those who actually undergo the processes. The facilitators are human resource management staff. And the providers are specialists in the field. Each of these groups has its own agenda and motivations, which sometimes conflict with the agendas and motivations of the others.
Training has become more trainee-focused, which allows those being trained more flexibility and active learning opportunities. it is important to note that all employees require different levels and types of development in order to fulfill their job role in the organization. All employees need some type of training and development on an ongoing basis to maintain effective performance, or to adjust to new ways or work, and to remain motivated and engaged.

Off-the-job training methods happen outside the organization where employees attend things such as lectures, seminars, and conferences or they take part in simulation exercises like case studies and role-playing. It could also include vestibule, sensitivity or transactional training activities. Training & development methods include:
Apprenticeship Training: system of training in which a worker entering the skilled trades is given thorough instruction and experience, both on and off the job, in the practical and theoretical aspects of the work.
Co-operative programs and internship programs: training programs that combine practical, on-the-job experience with formal education. Typically, these programs are offered at colleges and universities.
Classroom instruction: information can be presented in lectures, demonstrations, films, and videotapes or through computer instruction. (This includes vestibule training where trainees are given instruction in the operation of equipment.)
Self-Directed Learning: individuals work at their own pace during programmed instruction. Including books, manuals, or computers to break down subject-matter content into highly organized, logical sequences that demand a continuous response on the trainee's part.
Audiovisual: methods used to teach the skills and procedures required for a number of jobs.
Simulation: used when it is not practical or safe to train people on the actual equipment or within the actual work environment.
E-learning: training that uses computer and/or online resources. Such as CBT (computer-based training), videotapes, satellites and broadcast interactive.
Conclusion
There are many different training methods that exist today, including both on and off-the-job methods. On-the-job training methods happen within the organization where employees learn by working alongside co-workers in ways such as coaching, mentorship, internship, apprenticeship, job rotation, job instructional technique (JIT), or by being an understudy.
And also, training employees are increased productivity and performance in the workplace, uniformity of work processes, reduced supervision and reduced wastage, promoting employees from within, improving organizational structure and designs, boosting morale.

✌Methods of Training and Development ✌
Instructor Based Training 😊
Instructor based training is further classified into several types, with each type featuring its own advantages and disadvantages. Among all of them, the method of using a blackboard or a whiteboard as the means of training is the oldest of all. In this method, the instructor demands feedback about the topic that he has been explaining on the blackboard or whiteboard. Up until now, many large organizations still use this method. Other variants of this method include the use of PowerPoint presentations, projectors, video and audio-based training.
😊Online Learning
Thanks to the numerous technological advancements in the recent years. Millions of people have access to the internet has immensely increased and are still on the loose. In simple words, online learning is becoming prevalent by every second. Because of the global level accessibility, anyone can have access. To almost every learning material available online, that’s mostly irrespective of country, gender, and age.
I had a great time reading this blog post about the many training and development strategies used by businesses. It was interesting to observe how various businesses tackle this crucial duty. I thought the section on self-directed learning, which I thought was an outstanding way to integrate the advantages of both online and in-person training, was very interesting. Overall, this post was really educational and beneficial. I appreciate you sharing!
ReplyDeleteI agreed your valuable expectation shared with me like this and thank you for your comment. Yeah, online and in-person training was also very interesting with training and development. Online training refers to all learning/training activities that take place virtually over the internet. It consists of a variety of multimedia elements, such as graphics, audio, video, and web links, all of which can be accessed via a web browser.
DeleteBasically, any type of training that employees can access from a laptop, tablet, or smartphone from anywhere, at any time. Online training is also known as web-based training, eLearning, distance learning, or computer-based training.
In Person training is a face-to-face training that allows learners to interact with the instructor or colleagues, whether one-on-one or in a group setting. This type of training occurs at a specific time and location and is not available on demand. Learners must set aside time from their hectic daily lives in order to attend in-person training sessions. Both online and in person training are beneficial in their own ways, but online training has an edge over ‘in person’ training, primary in the rapidly changing technological scenario, where it can enhance learner engagement, productivity, and revenue.
Online training provides learners with a variety of learning options to meet their individual needs. Rather than learning in a single location, online training allows learners to learn from anywhere, at any time. Online training incorporates a wide range of training features and solutions, while adhering to in person training and online technologies. Both-learners and organizations benefit from online training in terms of engagement, knowledge retention, comfort, greater productivity, and expected outcomes
Absolutely, it's fantastic to see how training and development have evolved into such essential tools for boosting both organizations and individuals!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that these methods are becoming more personalized and learner-centered is truly empowering. Remember, just like a garden needs nurturing, your growth through training and development is a journey worth embracing. With each step, you're sharpening your skills, embracing change, and adding value to yourself and your workplace.
