In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training & development is… it is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training & development is determined by the employee’s performance deficiency, computed as follows:
Training & Development need = Standard performance – Actual performance.
We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was stated earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand, is confined to theoretical learning in classrooms.
For small non-profits, work often follows the flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants action plan. No one feels like they're flying the plane; rather, they feel more like they're building it in mid-air. Human Resources is no exception. Whose job is it to hire a new employee when there is no official HR person? How can you write a job description when the needs of the organization change daily? How can you hire someone when you don't have secure funding after six months? The challenges are formidable, yet not uncommon for small non-profits.
There are many books out there that offer definitions of best practice in Human Resources. They contain detailed lists of the steps you should take to be successful in the different phases of the hiring process. Such information is useful and important, but not always practical for the small non-profit. For example, sometimes you can't develop comprehensive personnel policies before you hire someone; the job needs to get done and there is no time to waste. You'll have to figure them out later. If a consultant were to come into one of these organizations to do a job analysis, she'd quickly discover that the three employees were actually doing the work of seven
Human Resource Development (HRD) is the framework for helping employees develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. Human Resource Development includes such opportunities as employee training, employee career development, performance management and development, coaching, mentoring, succession planning, key employee identification, tuition assistance, and organization development.
The focus of all aspects of Human Resource Development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to customers.
Organizations have many opportunities for human resources or employee development, both within and outside of the workplace.
Human Resource Development can be formal such as in classroom training, a college course, or an organizational planned change effort. Or, Human Resource Development can be informal as in employee coaching by a manager. Healthy organizations believe in Human Resource Development and cover all of these bases.
Departments are the entities organizations form to organize people, reporting relationships, and work in a way that best supports the accomplishment of the organization's goals. Departments are usually organized by functions such as human resources, marketing, administration, and sales.
But, a department can be organized in any way that makes sense for the customer. Departments can also be organized by customer, by product, or by region of the world.
The forward thinking human resource department is devoted to providing effective policies, procedures, and people-friendly guidelines and support within companies. Additionally, the human resource function serves to make sure that the company mission, vision, values or guiding principles, the company metrics, and the factors that keep the company guided toward success are optimized.
The most common Human Resource jobs that are grouped in the Human Resource Department are the Human Resources Director, Human Resources Generalist, and Human Resources Assistant. Additionally, some organizations have a Vice President of Human Resources and employees who are organized around providing a specific component of Human Resource services including compensation, training, organization development, and safety.
