00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.780
Welcome again! In this module,
we'll cover approaches to training

00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:14.040
and development, two practices
run by human resource departments

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.787
that have a profound impact
on improving employee performance.

00:00:18.379 --> 00:00:22.459
We will begin by defining and describing
the training and development process

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.039
and the many forms that these may take.

00:00:25.606 --> 00:00:29.430
We will also identify some human
resource management training initiatives

00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:32.970
that you can bring to your own
organizational practice.

00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:36.320
Finally, we'll review
how career-planning methods

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.480
can be used
to improve management development.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.640
By the end of this module,
you will have a greater sense

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:46.560
of how training and development
can be conducted using a range

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.920
of supplementary tools and resources.

00:00:49.896 --> 00:00:52.767
As you go through the module,
try to remember how you learned

00:00:52.767 --> 00:00:55.390
some of the skills
that you have now mastered.

00:00:55.690 --> 00:00:58.920
Was it through onboarding,
manuals and workbooks,

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:01.600
or via information sharing with peers?

00:01:02.290 --> 00:01:05.670
At the same time, when you incorporate
a new employee to your team,

00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:08.831
do you have a specific training program
that they go through?

00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:12.470
If you observe that an employee
has potential for growth,

00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:15.760
do you help them determine
where their strengths lay?

00:01:16.130 --> 00:01:19.518
Do you have established programs
for development?

00:01:19.748 --> 00:01:21.951
These are all good questions to consider.

00:01:22.750 --> 00:01:26.230
One of the most common approaches
to learning the what and the how

00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:29.160
of a job is through informal training.

00:01:29.160 --> 00:01:33.190
Although it is considered underutilized
because it's not part of formal training

00:01:33.190 --> 00:01:36.730
and development practices in firms,
the reality is that employees

00:01:36.730 --> 00:01:40.876
learn and get good at their jobs
by observing the experts around them,

00:01:41.350 --> 00:01:44.830
asking questions
when they're not certain about a process,

00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:49.710
and even crafting their jobs in a way
that is consistent with expectations,

00:01:49.940 --> 00:01:52.700
yet provides meaning and
fulfillment for themselves.
