Dear Friends,
There is no other area of HR on which so much money is spent by organizations now a days with as little accountability as training. Unfortunately what is happening is trainings are too often organized as stand alone events with a short life of their own mostly disconnected with organisation’s progress.
In many cases employees are trained in new areas but then again sent back to their old operating areas subject to the same measures, practices and management approaches as before thus making training activity ineffective.
Training is a must because managing is a skill and has nothing to do with the rationality, logic or intelligence. This skill can only be developed by training and not accomplished by getting a management degree. What is really required in training is designing a planned set of activities that engages the right muscles and slowly builds them up through the experience of doing.
The truth is most organisation go about training entirely the wrong way. They decide what they wished their employees were good at, grant an amount to HR for training and ask them to go for that. It is high time that all trainings should be measured effectively and ROI in training is established through cost benefit analysis of programs because if it is not accounted properly, will be characterised as nothing but waste of money. Cover Feature Business Manager Magazine-Sep.09 issue revolves around this issue which is timely, sensitive and relevant too.
