  21. Learning Theory and Employee Training Everyday is a new day. What is Learning? Is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from direct or indirect experience. • You learn driving of car now you learn that (Direct). • You saw someone driving and now you learn that (indirect).

  22. Learning Organization Learning Organization is very important concept of this era and learning organization is one whose employees continuously attempt to learn new things and use them. Why There is Need for Training: • Job behavior is sometimes inappropriate. For Example: People or customers are not satisfy from the company. • Knowledge or skill level is inadequate • Finally problems can be corrected through training

  23. Effective Phases of Training There are four main phases for effective training program: Phase1: Need Assessment a): It means that ‘What is the issue? Why we want to arrange training? • Number of employees experience skill deficiency Phase2: Design of Training a): What content or style do you teach? • Consider learning styles by watching, listening or practical Note: Hear+See+Do it if you do all these 3 things effectively chances of remembering will increase.

  24. Effective Phases of Training (Cont’) Phase3: Delivery of Training: a): see what this training has benefit and also specify that you will deliver the training through screen, multimedia etc.. • Sometimes online learning by watching or listening: Lecture Case studies Video Training

  25. Effective Phases of Training (Cont’) Phase4: Evaluation of Training: a): Does this training create some change? Or how will we know its effect. b): Did it work? And the evaluation of every training is beneficial in future How to Evaluate? • Trainees Reaction • Testing (see whether how much the they understood) • Performance Appraisal

  26. Evaluating Training Programs (Cont’) • Post-Training Performance Method: Evaluating training programs based on how well employees perform after training. 2. Pre-post training Performance Method: The trainees are evaluated before training, and then revaluated after training to assess the difference ,

  27. Training Methods ON THE JOB TRAINING OFF THE JOB TRAINING This kind of training is outside of work site Classroom Lectures: ٌtechnical, interpersonal or problem solving training This kind of training is at the actual work site, its economical and cheap. Job Rotation: Lateral transfers of employees that Allow them work in different jobs Films and Videos: ٌdemonstrates mostly technical skills Understudy Assignment: ٌWorking with seasoned coach or mentor That provides support and encouragement Simulation exercises: ٌlearning the job by actually performing the Work or its simulation such as: Experimental exercises, role playing, group Interaction and case analysis

  28. Employee Development Methods ON THE JOB TRAINING OFF THE JOB TRAINING Job Rotation: Moving employees horizontally And vertically to expand their skills and Knowledge: which is promotion and short-term lateral transfer Lecture Courses and Seminars: For acquiring knowledge and develop for future works(KARDAN) But some organizations arrange them through computers on-the-job Committee assignment: ٌٍby this method the employees share in Decision making, learn by watching, and To investigate about problems. Working- Group or taskforce Simulation: Case Study: there are cases that represent real problems and trainees study, analyze and solve the problem. DecisionGame: computer based game which simulates a situation, to decide in dangerous situation Roleplaying: individuals are assigned roles and asked to react against each other

  29. Why Training Fails? Because of the following reasons: 1: They don’t learn material what ever we are teaching to them the cannot learn that properly. 2: They don’t understand real life application. For Example: someone knows that 2+2=4 but, they cannot understand its benefits and practical application. 3: Luck of Confidence 4: They forget the materials what they learned
