    Employee Development Programs

    for Performance Improvement


    Employee Development Programs for
    Performance Improvement
     Employee development is almost universally recognized as a strategic tool for an
    organization's continuing growth, productivity and ability to retain valuable employees.
    If organizations neglect certain challenges, then the employee development process will
    be cumbersome for the organization, frustrating for employees and of uncertain value for
    both.

    Today, HR encourages employees to manage their own career development while HR still
    ensures that the organization provides ways for employees to be more effective in their
    current roles. HR needs to show both managers and employees that development brings
    benefits. Without a clear payoff, managers will balk at training costs and at lost
    productivity time. Moreover, employees will be less enthusiastic about development
    programs if they fail to see gains in their job performance and career opportunities.

    Employee Development Methods:
    Some methods of employee development occur on the
    job, with the manager or an experienced co-worker
    leading the development activity in the context of the
    actual work environment. Other development occurs
    at training facilities or other locations. And
    increasingly organizations use online methods to
    develop employees.

    Mentoring
    Mentoring matches less experienced employees with
    more experienced colleagues through formal or
    informal programs. Formal mentoring programs can
    reduce turnover, enhance recruitment, and improve
    performance and the work environment, especially for
    women and people of color.

    Succession planning
    Succession planning identifies long-range needs and cultivates internal talent to
    meet those needs. Succession plans typically focus on a one- to three-year process
    of preparing employees—not preselecting them—for new roles in the organization.

    Many business leaders and HR practitioners believe that succession planning is a


    complex process, restricted to the largest organizations with the most
    sophisticated organizational development departments. However, succession
    planning can also benefit smaller organizations with fewer resources.

    Corporate universities
    Corporate universities focus primarily on-the-job
    skills, company-specific proprietary knowledge,
    branding, and certification. At a corporate university,
    the focus is on learning that will benefit the
    organization, not just the individual. Benefits of the
    corporate university format includes strategic
    alignment with company goals, consistent quality and
    uniform messages that reach all learners.

    Online employee development
    Organizations typically use classroom-based learning for topics unique to
    the particular employer and online learning for more universal topics.
    Online training allows self-directed, just-in-time, on-demand instruction.
    Employees in e-learning situations have more control over their time than
    they have in a classroom.
    To keep employees engaged during online development activities, the
    training should deliver content in small, easily understood pieces.
    Employees also need to understand how the content will help them do
    their jobs better. Other tips for successful implementation of e-learning
    employee development programs include choosing topics linked to
    specific business goals, providing introductory training so employees
    know how to use online training systems, and providing online support
    and easy access to supplemental information.
