Training employees is one of the most important aspects of a business. this is because it helps the employee just as much as it does the employer and business because it Mitigates the risk of employer liability. There are many forms of training the business use to train their employees, some of the ones we covered in class were but were not limited to wages, hours, diversity, customer service, quality control, and more. When it comes to training there are many fields that can be covered. that is why the employer must take a step back to see what the company needs as a whole as well as individual training.
When employers are looking at what training is needed we call this a needs analysis. This analysis is split into three groups, organizational analysis which is the appropriateness of training, given the organization’s strategy, resources, and managerial support. Next, is Task analysis which means tasks, knowledge, skills, and behaviors that need to be emphasized. last is person analysis which identifies where training is needed from person to person.
One of the last steps is evaluating the effectiveness of the training. This is conducted after the training sessions and helps the employer evaluate the reliability and validity of the training. These evaluations often get split into reaction, learning, performance, and results. This way the employee can get an idea of where the employee started their training and went through it. after that, they can then see what they learned and how they are applying that learning to the workplace.
