5 Processes in training
Training and Development consists of 5 related processes. These
processes do not have a distinct beginning, middle, and end. Instead, they
overlap with each other to fulfill their intended purpose.
The processes are:
• Assessment of training needs and resources
• Motivation of trainers and trainees
• Design of training programs and materials
• Delivery of training
• Process and outcome evaluation
When done correctly, each process can lead to significant growth in your
employees. Take note, no two employees or organizations are exactly
alike.
Case Study on Amazon
Additionally, Amazon provides over 750,000 operations employees with fully funded
tuition eligibility. In doing so, the company clearly values the education of its
employees. It wants to prepare them for the future.
Indeed, Amazon is surely a model company when it comes to training and
development.
WHY ARE REWARDS IMPORTANT?
Rewarding employees is important for
several reasons:
• Setting Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Define
specific times for work and leisure activities, and try to stick to them as much as possible.
• Prioritization: Identify your priorities both at work and in your personal life. Focus on tasks
and activities that are most important and meaningful to you, and allocate your time
accordingly.
• Time Management: Manage your time effectively by scheduling tasks, setting deadlines, and
avoiding procrastination. Use tools such as calendars, planners, or time-tracking apps to
help organize your schedule.
• Flexible Work Arrangements: Explore options for flexible work arrangements, such as
telecommuting, flextime, or compressed workweeks. These arrangements can provide
greater autonomy and allow for better integration of work and personal responsibilities.
