These
principles can be important in design of both formal and informal training programs:
The trainee must be motivated to learn The trainee must be able to learn The learning must be reinforced
material The material presented must be meaningful The material must be communicated effectively The material taught must transfer to the job

The issue of diversity is prompting many organizations to find a training response, and it is one which needs to be considered strategically (Home office, 2003). Ways to determine employees needs for training: Observe Employees Listen to Employees Ask supervision about employees need Examine the problems employees have Look for gaps between expected and actual results
Behavior discrepancy Step 2: Cost/Value Analysis Step 4: Set standards Eliminate obstacles Practice Train Change the job Transfer/terminate Step 3: Cant do/wont do situational Step 5: Step 6: Step 7: Step 8: Step 9:

Lecture
is traditional and direct method of instruction It is a verbal presentation of information by an instructor to a large audience The lecture must motivate and creative interest among the trainees in order to become effective It is presume to posses a considerable depth of knowledge of subject at hand
Advantages:
Less time required for preparation Provides lots of information quickly Cost per trainee is very low
Disadvantages:
Series of Job Functional transfer One job to another Geographical transfer Advantages: Broadens background of manager-competence
individuals Increase the effectiveness of organization Introduce more new idea into organization
To improve decision making and analytical skills. To develop awareness of the need to make decisions lacking complete information. To develop an understanding of the interrelationship. To develop the ability to function cooperatively and effectively in a small group situation.
Types:
Executive Games-to train general executive
Functional Games-focus on middle management decision
Human
interaction that involves realistic behavior in imaginary situations. Their actions are based on the roles assigned to them. Emphasis is not on problem solving but on skill development.
Benefits: Develop interpersonal skills and communication skills Conflict resolution Group decision making Developing insight into ones own behavior and its impact on others
Outdoor
and action-oriented programs through experiential learning Develop leadership, teamwork and risk-taking abilities Conducted by professional who are very cooperative
Advantages:
Content
for the training experience comes primarily from a videotape or computer based program Interest of the audience can be maintained by showing them audio visuals Easy to handle and explain Provides a lot of content to talk about
Advantages:
Expensive to develop
Outsourced which make training less content
specific
Participant
is required to simulate the handling of a specific managers mail and telephone calls and to react accordingly. e.g. important customer who is angry while letter from local civic club may request for donation. They are evaluated on the basis of the number and quality of decisions and on the priorities assigned to each situation.
Strengths:
Effective for corrective action or reinforcement. Widely used in assessment centers for measuring
management potential.
Weakness:
In
the study by Karmegam Karuppiah (2005), it can be conclude the most effective and frequent adopted is on-thejob training, because the learners apply their training in real-time than sitting in the classroom environment, and forgetting what they learned when they return to their work, citation from Tenant et al. (2002).
Development
is a process of becoming increasingly complex, more elaborate and differentiated, by virtue of learning and maturation (Julie Beardwell & Tim Claydon, 2010).
Organizational

Should
be planned because it requires Systematic diagnosis Development of a program Mobilization of resources Top-management commitment

way to classify development techniques is on basis of the target area they are intended to affect. Behavioral modification is the use of individual learning through reinforcement. Goal setting is designed to improve an individuals ability to set and achieve goals.
Behavioral

Measures business impact of the program
Business Results
Return on Investment
Measures the monetary value of the results and costs for the program, usually expressed as a percentages.

To
be used to review the relevant issues or question Relevant issues: improvement in skills, training, and development materials, costs, and long-term effects crucial question: whether learning transfer to the job, simply asking they like the program and the question can be answered by use of evaluation.
The management must make sure those who trains and develop employee be accountable for the effectiveness
