Training:
Training is a formal teaching of skills. It is often undertaken by an organization as a strategic activity aimed at improving the performance of the business by improving the performance of its employees.

Training – the act of changing behaviors and attitude by imparting knowledge and skills – is an essential part of the strategy of any organization that needs to move forward. It is a way of changing the way a business works and of making sure that all its employees perform to the best of their abilities. However, deciding what training will benefit an organization is far from a simple process. It is not possible – because of financial and time constraints – to offer training to all staff willy-nilly. It must be a considered decision taken with the current and the future needs of the company in mind.

The Training Process:
Business should have a clearly defined strategy and set of objectives that direct and drive all the decisions made especially for training decisions. Firms that plan their training process are more successful than those that do not. Most business owners want to succeed, but do not engage in training designs that promise to improve their chances of success.

A well-conceived training program can help business succeed. A program structured with the company's strategy and objectives in mind has a high probability of improving productivity and other goals that are set in the training mission.

The purpose of formulating a training strategy is to answer two relatively simple but vitally important questions: (1) What is our business? and (2) What should our business be? Armed with the answers to these questions and a clear vision of its mission, strategy and objectives, a company can identify its training needs.

Training will also give a candidate a major competitive advantage. If an organization has a competent, stable, well-led workforce, it will beat the pants off the organization’s competitor who has employees who don't know what they are doing.

Training can no longer be an afterthought. It must become an integral part of staffing and business strategy. When it is not properly planned for, any attempt to satisfy a training need will usually result in failure. Therefore, it is necessary to create a written, well-thought out plan for training.

Actually, planning the training should be an essential part of the performance management system and career planning for your employees.
Its where your future is...
