The assignments in this course align with the following scenario:
You are a college senior who has been selected to participate in a hybrid internship/onboarding program with an elite HR research and advisory firm. Your training consists of a combination of formal education—specifically, enrollment in this Human Resource Management course—and a rotation in support of the principals of the firm. In your rotations, you will synthesize what you’ve learned in the relevant modules to address firm or client issues, conducting additional research as necessary and developing draft deliverables as instructed by the principal consultant. The quality of your deliverables – that is, your ability to convert learning into practical insight – will largely determine whether, at the end of the internship period, you are offered a position with the firm or simply thanked for your participation.

6.1 Employee Training and Development
Training is the act of increasing the knowledge, skills, and abilities of an employee for doing a particular job. Organizations invest in training to make sure employees can perform their jobs effectively. A vast amount of research supports the fact that training is positively and directly related to organizational performance (Garavan, et al., 2020).
Even when the right person has been selected, they may need training in how your company does things. Lack of training can result in loss of productivity, loss of customers, and poor relationships between employees and managers. It can also result in dissatisfaction, which means retention problems and high turnover. All of these consequences can have an impact on direct costs to the organization. In fact, a study performed by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) found that 41 percent of employees at companies with poor training, planned to leave within the year, but in companies with excellent training, only 12 percent planned to leave (Branham, 2005). Thus, training can be considered as an investment in employees that is central to an organization’s health.
Effective employee training can take several different approaches. A well-designed orientation program is often key to an employee’s transition into a new workplace by giving them an overview of the company’s policies and culture. They may receive specific in-house training on important workplace issues or job-specific areas at these sessions. In some organizations, new employees are assigned a mentor or coach to help with their transition. Depending on the organization, employees will continue to be offered in-house training specific to their jobs or enhance their knowledge of company policies and workplace initiatives. Finally, companies may send employees to external training events or bring external service providers into a company to deliver specialized training.
Training and Development
Training and development is a key Human Resources function.
Training refers to formal and planned efforts to help employees acquire knowledge, skills, and abilities to improve performance in their current job. Training can also be described as an endeavour aimed to improve or develop additional competency or skills in an employee on the job one currently holds in order to increase performance or productivity. Training involves a change in attitude, skills, or knowledge of a person with the result being an improvement in behaviour. For training to be effective it has to be a planned activity conducted after a thorough needs analysis and targeted at certain competencies.
Development on the other hand refers to formal and planned efforts to help employees acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform future job responsibilities and for the long-term achievement of individual goals and/or organizational objectives.
Is There a Difference?
The terms education and training are often used interchangeably. However, education is the process of acquiring knowledge and information, usually in a formal manner while training is the mastery of a skill or skill set.
What Training Can and Cannot Do
All organizations should be aware that training will not solve all problems. At times, organizations attempt to use training to solve a problem when a lack of skill is not the issue. Training is not an intervention to a situation that is caused by poor performance or other root causes that are not skill-related.
Let’s think about it this way, if we are working with employees who are having difficulty with job execution, missing tasks, or not following through, training might not be the best intervention. Instead, we could correct the deficiency by providing more objective feedback, or by adding or removing behavioural consequences. For example, if an individual is not performing the job but could do so if his or her life depended on it retraining is not the answer.
Employee Orientation or Onboarding
Probably the most basic and common training that organizations invest in is an employee orientation program. Employee orientation is the process used for welcoming a new employee into the organization. The objectives of employee orientation are as follows:
To reduce start-up costs . If an orientation is done right, it can help get the employee up to speed on various policies and procedures, so the employee can start working right away. It can also be a way to ensure all hiring paperwork is filled out correctly, so the employee is paid on time.
To reduce anxiety . Starting a new job can be stressful. One goal of an orientation is to reduce the stress and anxiety people feel when going into an unknown situation.
To reduce employee turnover . Employee turnover tends to be higher when employees don’t feel valued or are not given the tools to perform. Employee orientation can show that the organization values the employee and provides the tools necessary for a successful entry.
To save time for the supervisor and coworkers . A well-done orientation makes for a better prepared employee, which means less time having to teach the employee.
To set expectations and attitudes . If employees know from the start what the expectations are, they tend to perform better. Likewise, if employees learn the values and attitudes of the organization from the beginning, there is a higher chance of a successful tenure at the company (Dessavre, 2023).
Some companies use employee orientation as a way to introduce employees not only to the company policies and procedures but also to the staff (Dessavre, 2023).
Offer a story about a time you started a job. Explain how you were oriented to the company. Was it useful? Was it not useful?
In-House Training
In-house training programs are learning opportunities developed by the organization in which they are used. This is usually the second step in the training process and often is ongoing. In-house training programs can be training related to a specific job, such as how to use a particular kind of software. In a manufacturing setting, in-house training might include an employee learning how to use a particular kind of machinery.
Many companies provide in-house training on various HR topics as well, meaning it doesn’t always have to relate to a specific job. Some examples of in-house training include the following:
Ethics training
Sexual harassment training
Multicultural training
Communication training
Management training
Customer service training
Operation of special equipment
Basic skills training
In the 1980’s, the fast-food chain Wendy’s had gained a reputation for its training videos. Below is a classic one on how to pour drinks (trigger warning: it’s from another era!).
Video: “ Wendy’s Training Video Cold Drinks ” By Chuck Drake [1:54] (URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ-JBFXh2IU )
External Training
External training includes any type of training that is not performed internally by the organization. It can include sending an employee to a seminar to help further develop leadership skills or helping pay tuition for an employee who wants to take a marketing class.

What is learning and development?
What is the difference between learning and development?
What is the difference between learning and training?
Learning
The acquisition of knowledge, skills, or attitudes through experience, study, or teaching. Training, development, and education all involve learning.
Training
Training is about teaching immediately applicable knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be used in a specific job. Training may focus on delivering better performance in the current role or overcoming future changes.
Development
Development is aimed at the long term. It revolves around the broadening or deepening of knowledge that fits within one’s personal development goals and the (future) goals of the organization. Development usually happens voluntarily.
Education
Education is a more formal way to broaden one’s knowledge. Education is often non-specific and applicable for a long time and is especially relevant when a person has little experience in a certain area.
Why is learning and development important?
Attracting and retaining employees : People want to work for organizations where they can lean into their present and future interests. They have come to expect employers to offer career-enhancing growth and development. According to a Gallup survey , 65% of workers evaluate job opportunities based on the availability of employer-provided upskilling. In addition, a TalentLMS survey showed that 76% of employees are more likely to stay with a company that provides ongoing learning and development opportunities.
Boosting employee experience and engagement : Employees gain confidence in their performance and feel inspired to take more initiative and pursue their career aspirations. This translates to higher morale, job satisfaction, and engagement.
Promoting DEIB : An inclusive and equitable work environment where employees of all backgrounds have access to growth opportunities is at the forefront of most organization’s cultural aspirations. Actively integrating DEIB into L&D strategies promotes a sense of belonging and contributes to an engaged, innovative workforce.
Bridging skills gaps : Organizations must keep pace with technological advancements and frequent shifts in business concepts. This means equipping employees to face new challenges. Reskilling and upskilling individuals for specialized technical roles and developing their soft skills prepares the workforce to adapt, foster innovation, and meet the organization’s future labor needs.
Empowering future leaders : Providing learning and development opportunities results in well-trained and educated employees who can take on new responsibilities and leadership roles. Many organizations create their own management training programs that offer employees a tangible prospect for making their career aspirations a reality. For example, the American retail membership warehouse chain Sam’s Club has a five-week learning program called Manager Quality (MQ). Its content brings customized career development to all levels of associates. It begins with a week of values-based decision-making to develop the attributes of the company’s leadership expectations. MQ’s framework has four pillars that teach foundational concepts that apply to all Sam Club roles.
Enhanced reputation as an employer : With so many people looking for growth opportunities in their jobs, fulfilling their desires for expanding career opportunities is a must for improving your employer brand . Employers that offer robust L&D have an advantage over others in the competition for top talent. Multinational fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s offers L&D benefits to attract and retain workers in an industry plagued by a labor shortage. Even part-time workers are eligible for tuition assistance after 90 days of employment. McDonald’s Archways to Opportunity program has a variety of channels for employee growth and learning. This includes a career development app that provides on-demand, personalized professional guidance and learning that employees can access from anywhere.
Learning and development methods
70% of learning comes from informal, work-based learning. This takes place during new tasks, challenging assignments, and through supervisor feedback and ‘water-cooler’ conversations with peers
20% of learning comes from developmental relationships. Employees experience social learning through interactions with peers and mentors
10% of learning comes from traditional coursework and training in a formal, educational setting.
Formal learning in a classroom setting : This method is goal-oriented and instructor-led with limited learner interaction. It is typically a group situation and can take place in person or online. Examples include lectures, classes, and seminars.
Informal learning : Informal learning is organic, unstructured, and more self-directed. It takes place on the job through tasks, feedback, co-worker interactions, and through individual study. Examples include conversations, online forums, and reading books or doing research.
Experiential learning : This trial-and-error approach allows people to try doing something, observe the results, and then gain understanding from the experience. Examples include apprenticeships, internships, virtual or real-world simulation exercises, and scenario-based role-playing.
Performance coaching to inspire employees to realize their full potential by honing their current abilities and learning new skills. Police Now, an independent charitable social enterprise that recruits police officers in England and Wales, has a very hands-on approach to performance coaching. Its year-long Frontline Leadership Programme includes one-on-one coaching to guide participants through each training module and work through any knowledge or skills gaps.
Peer coaching is where two or more colleagues team up to share ideas, learn from one another, build skills, or collaborate to solve work problems.
AI-based coaching leverages artificial intelligence to provide coaches with insight, augment coaching efforts, or exclusively do the coaching.
Establishing a coaching culture builds trust and connection with employees and empowers them to improve themselves and their performance to impact the company’s success.
Mentorship programs that are sponsored by the organization provide structure and resources for mentoring relationships.
Peer mentoring takes place between two co-workers who are at the same or similar level in the organization but have different degrees of experience. The more experienced one shares their knowledge and offers encouragement to the less experienced one.
Reverse mentoring is when junior employees share their knowledge and expertise with their superiors to help them overcome a shortfall in a particular area, such as digital skills.
Micro-mentoring occurs in one-time or temporary settings and is focused on short-term objectives for a specific project, topic, or skill.
Job shadowing lets employees observe a more experienced colleague as they perform their duties. Implementing a job shadowing program is a way to offer employees exposure to other roles and new career opportunities.
Skill building : Skill building involves helping employees acquire new skills. The purpose is to fill the organization’s skills gaps so it can achieve business goals and remain competitive. Examples of skill-building activities include new product training, customer service role-playing, and problem-solving games.
Targeted training : Targeted training is another method for closing skills gaps. It combines formal and informal learning to meet individual learning needs. By pinpointing the most needed skills, organizations can distribute training resources efficiently. Just about any method can be used for this type of learning.
Cross-training : Cross-training entails teaching an employee how to handle another employee’s role. When employees are cross-trained, they expand their skill set and understanding of the company’s operations. They can also cover for absent employees and pitch in when extra help is needed to distribute the workload.
Remote training : Remote training takes place online and is for employees who are not working from the same location. It can be held either at a set time with employees participating from different places (synchronously) or accessed on demand (asynchronously). Examples include webinars, online courses, and pre-recorded video lessons.
New employee training : New employee training is the part of the onboarding process that teaches new hires how to do and be productive in their jobs. It’s customized to each role and can involve areas of instruction such as customer service techniques, how to use software, or how to operate equipment.
Examples of L&D programs
Orientation and onboarding : The job orientation and onboarding journey helps all new employees settle into their new organization and role, often equipping them with specific knowledge, training, and equipment to do their job.
Technical skills development : Certain roles require technical skills, which can be improved through training and education. For example, software engineers might receive training on specific software applications or take a course to improve their coding abilities. As technology rapidly evolves, keeping technical skills updated requires regular training.
Soft skills development : Soft skills are personality traits, behaviors, and interpersonal skills people use to interact with others at work and are essential for cooperation and harmony between peers. While they are less tangible than hard skills, they can still be developed. A LinkedIn survey reported that 92% of talent professionals believe soft skills are equally or more important than hard skills when it comes to hiring the right person for a role.
Product and services training : Customer and client-facing roles require strong knowledge of the product or service offering. As products and services are updated and new lines are rolled out over time, regular training helps ensure that everyone has a good grasp of the unique selling proposition (USP) and benefits and can communicate these to the customer.
Safety training : Health and safety training is not only essential for keeping your employees safe and healthy at work, but sometimes it’s also required by law (these laws differ depending on the location in question). Some roles – such as an administrative office position – require basic safety training, while others – such as a builder using complex and dangerous machinery on-site – require more specific learning programs.

What type of employee L&D do you think should be outsourced?
Learning and development skills
Instructional design: A defined process driven by learning theories and models for constructing efficient, effective learning experiences. It helps L&D professionals systematically identify the learning objectives and strategies and create presentations, instructional materials, assessments, and interactions that enhance learner engagement. Three widely used instructional design models are the ADDIE model , Bloom’s Taxonomy model, and Merrill’s Principles of Instruction.
Facilitation skills : The definition of the word facilitate is “to make (something) easier.” Facilitation skills in L&D pertain to successfully guiding learners through a training program and achieving the intended outcomes. A good facilitator will incorporate tools, activities, and discussions that present the material in a comprehensible and engaging manner.
Adult learning : Adult learning theory acknowledges that adults do not learn in the same way that children do. Adults prefer to be informed of why they need to learn a new concept to start with. They also absorb information better with less instruction and more hands-on experience. L&D professionals understand adult learning techniques and use the appropriate methods for strengthening training outcomes.
LMS experience : Learning management systems (LMS) are digital platforms that automate the administration, delivery, tracking, and reporting of corporate learning and development. Due to their efficiency, most organizations use some type of LMS. L&D professionals must be comfortable operating LMS software and understand how to make the best use of it.
Project management : Project management is about overseeing the process of delivering something of value. Administering L&D is the same idea. L&D professionals must be able to collaborate and communicate with multiple stakeholders, organize documentation and materials through various drafts, and problem-solve complex challenges to keep projects on track.
