In the
cosmopolitan corporate culture the companies are becoming very competitive in
terms of technicality and execution. There is a cut throat competition in terms
of quality as the end customer at both the ends B2B and B2C has become aware
and intelligent about the options available. So, quality has become a critical
aspect for all companies irrespective of the segments they fall in. In this
scenario Corporate Training has become the need of the hour and the companies
are adapting and adhering to various kinds of corporate training programs to
improve the quality of their workforce.
Apart from
the marketing, branding and promotions; training & development has become
an important aspect of corporate strategy to improve performance at all levels in
an organization. It has a complete cycle of changes in the employees in terms
of attitudinal changes, improved skill sets and improved job performance.
For long
term vision and success path any organization relies and banks on its manpower
resources. The quality of manpower and the human capital development takes place
through employee training. This concentrates on operational, technical and
other related areas as well as management development, which focuses on
managerial and behavioral skill and knowledge. This eventually helps in
re-orienting attitude towards job and enhances the performance level. The
companies are emphasizing on the corporate training programs but cannot guarantee
the success level as it depends on various factors like work culture, work
environment and above everything on the personal interest and motivation of the
individual employees.
Corporatetraining is not merely an activity; it is a strategy that is integrated to fit
in the working model of the organization. The training module has to be
designed as per the individual contribution of employees and the skill sets
involved. Corporate training is a comparative and comprehensive analysis of the
individual approach required to reach perfection for the organizational goals. It
can include behavioral or soft skills training as well based on the
requirements of the work culture. Including interpersonal skills in the
training module is an important aspect if the employees are in direct
interaction with the clients or the end users.
Training programs
not only emphasize on the training module specifications but also increases the
team building attitude because these modules encompass both theoretical as well
as activity based learning sessions. All training modules have a test designed
to judge the adaptability and understanding of all the employees at the end. It
helps to analyze the effectiveness of the module. An effective corporate
training module involves close coordination of the HR team, the trainer and the
employees. All the three need to be in sync and close coordination for a
corporate training program to be successful. First and foremost a defined goal
or purpose for both the employees and the team needs to be decided. An unclear goal or
agenda will result in a lack of focus and a low level of engagement and
commitment towards the underlying reason for the training module. With the
alignment in the thought process and a clear road map of the training module
the skill sets and productivity level of the employees can be enhanced
therefore improving the individual and team performances.
