Develop a workplace learning environment Lesson 3 – 20 July 2010
Develop a workplace learning environment • Employee training has become increasingly important as jobs have become more sophisticated & influenced by technological changes • Training is a learning experience that seeks a relatively permanent change in an individual, that will improve their ability to perform
Develop a workplace learning environment • Organisations get outputs because people perform tasks to a desired standard. • Before employees can perform their tasks properly, they must master the special technology used by the organisation. • Training is the acquisition of the technology which permits employees to perform to a standard. 1/3
Develop a workplace learning environment • TRAINING • Learning related to the present job. • DEVELOPMENT • Emphasises personal growth & improvement. • EDUCATION • (closely related to development) Broader implications & applications - does not concentrate upon learning or acquisition of particular skills.
An organisation’s training needs should consider the following :- • what are the organisation’s goals and objectives • what tasks must be completed to achieve these goals • what behaviours are necessary for each job employee to carry out their jobs • what deficiencies, if any, do employees have in skills, knowledge or attitudes requires to performthe necessary behaviours
Training and Development An effective training programme should be consistent with the following principles:- • learning is enhanced when the learner is motivated • learning requires feedback • reinforcement increases the likelihoodbehaviour is repeated • practice increases learners performance • learning begins rapidly then plateaus • learning must be transferable to the job

TRAINING METHODOLOGIES • Lecture • Modified lecture • Role-play • Buzz Groups • Case Study • Demonstration • Field trips • Programmed Instruction
LEVELS OF EVALUATION • Reaction • Learning • Behaviour • Results
AREAS TO BE EVALUATED • Programme • Presenters • By trainees • By observers • Trainees • Reaction • Learning • Attitude
AREAS EVALUATED (continued) • On-the-Job Results • Behavioural • Productivity • Facilities • Resources • Ancillary
Training and Development • Small group activity – a micro training session: • Select one of the following topics • Performance management • Remuneration management • Customer service • Recruitment & Selection • Selling a product • Prepare a 5 minute micro training session based on the above topic • Use some of the principles and techniques outlined in the theoretical component of today’s lesson
