Standardizing Corporate Training Initiatives

A core training and development program should have a standardized approach which is a corporate requirement. These programs are recommended to be delivered centrally or facilitated through a remote medium depending on the application. Line managers should retain responsibility for ensuring the corporate learning events are featured in personal development plans. These may include:

New Hire Orientation
Supervisory Training
Anti- harassment
Health & Safety
Computer Systems applications

Managing Training and Development:

The organizations training priorities must be supported through individual job roles and tailored to each individual’s circumstances. A number of inter-related people management initiatives are designed to support these activities. These may include:

Personal development plans
Personal goal and objective setting
Annual performance review and ratings
Competency profiles

Training Rewards:

Your organization may wish to encourage development initiatives by offering increases in pay for satisfactory attainment of certain training. Managers should be enabled to further develop their own people management skills through Leadership Programs that are aligned with the necessary leadership competencies including a series of development activities focused on coaching or delegation.
