INTRODUCTION
Competitiveness refers to a company’s ability to maintain and gain market share
in an industry.
Companies are experiencing great change due to new technologies, rapid
development of knowledge, globalization of business, and development of e-
commerce.
Also, companies have to take steps to attract, retain, and motivate their work
forces.
Training is not a luxury; it is a necessity if companies are to participate in the
global and electronic marketplaces by offering high-quality products and
services.
Training prepares employees to use new technologies, function in new work
systems such as virtual teams, and communicate and cooperate with peers or
customers who may be from different cultural backgrounds.

Human Resource Management
Human resource management refers to the policies, practices, and systems that
influence employees’ behavior, attitudes, and performance.
Human resource practices play a key role in attracting, motivating, rewarding,
and retaining employees.
Other human resource management practices include recruiting employees,
selecting employees, designing work, compensating employees, and
developing good labor and employee relations.
WHAT IS TRAINING?
Training refers to a planned effort by a company to facilitate employees’ learning of
job-related competencies.
These competencies include knowledge, skills, or behaviors that are critical for
successful job performance.
The goal of training is for employees to master the knowledge, skill, and behaviors
emphasized in training programs and to apply them to their day-to-day activities.
Why? Because Employees will be required not only to understand the service or
product development system but also to share knowledge and to creatively use it to
modify a product or serve the customer
Continuous learning
Requires employees to understand the entire work system, including the
relationships among their jobs, their work units, and the company.
Employees are expected to acquire new skills and knowledge, apply them on
the job, and share this information with other employees.
Managers take an active role in identifying training needs and help to ensure
that employees use training in their work.
Today, training is being evaluated not on the basis of the number of programs
offered and training activity in the company but on how training addresses
business needs related to learning, behavior change, and performance
improvement.
In fact, training is becoming more performance-focused. That is, training is used
to improve employee performance, which leads to improved business results.
Training is seen as one of several p

DESIGNING EFFECTIVE TRAINING
The training design process refers to a systematic approach for developing training programs.
Training Design Process Steps:

1. Conduct a needs assessment, which is necessary to identify whether training is needed.


2. Ensure that employees have the motivation and basic skills necessary to master the training
   content.


3. Create a learning environment that has the features necessary for learning to occur.


4. Ensure that trainees apply the training content to their jobs.


5. Develop an evaluation plan.


6. Choose the training method based on the learning objectives and learning environment.


7. Evaluate the program and make changes in it or revisit any of the earlier steps in the process
   to improve the program so that learning, behavior, change, and the other learning objectives
   are obtained.
   Training Design Process Steps:

   THE FORCES INFLUENCING WORKING
   AND LEARNING
   Globalization: Every business must be prepared to deal with the global economy. Global
   business expansion has been made easier by technology. The Internet allows data and
   information to be instantly accessible and sent around the world.
   Increased Value Placed on Intangible Assets and Human Capital: Training and
   development can help a company's competitiveness by directly increasing the
   company’s value through contributing to intangible assets.
   The value of intangible assets and human capital has three important implications:
   • Focus on Knowledge Workers. Knowledge workers are employees who contribute to the
   company not through manual labor but through what they know
   • Employee Engagement. refers to the degree to which employees are fully involved in their work
   and the strength of their commitment to their job and the company
   • Change and Continuous Learning. Change refers to the adoption of a new idea or behavior by a
   company. A learning organization embraces a culture of lifelong learning, enabling all
   employees to continually acquire and share knowledge.
   Intangible Assets
   THE FORCES INFLUENCING WORKING
   AND LEARNING
   Focus on Link to Business Strategy: managers are beginning to see a more important role
   for training and development to support a company’s business strategy
   Changing Demographics and Diversity of the Work Force: Companies face several
   challenges as a result of increased demographics and diversity of the work force.
   Talent Management: refers to attracting, retaining, developing, and motivating highly
   skilled employees and managers.
   Customer Service and Quality Emphasis: Companies’ customers judge quality and
   performance. As a result, customer excellence requires attention to product and service
   features as well as to interactions with customers. Customer-driven excellence includes
   understanding what the customer wants and anticipating future needs. Customer-driven
   excellence includes reducing defects and errors, meeting specifications, and reducing
   complaints. How the company recovers from defects and errors is also important for
   retaining and attracting customers
   THE FORCES INFLUENCING WORKING
   AND LEARNING
   New Technology: Technology has reshaped the way we play, communicate, and plan our
   lives, and where we work. The Internet has created a new business model e-commerce, in
   which business transactions and relationships can be conducted electronically.
   The Internet is a global collection of computer networks that allows users to exchange data
   and information. Today more than 79 percent of adults go online spending an average of 11
   hours a week on the Internet. Nearly 72 percent access the Internet most often from home,
   while 37 percent do so from work.
   High-Performance Models of Work Systems: New technology causes changes in skill
   requirements and work roles and often results in redesigned work structures (e.g., using work
   teams). For example, computer-integrated manufacturing uses robots and computers to
   automate the manufacturing process.
