18. Training and Learning Development:
TRAINING DEFINED:
Training, coaching, mentoring, training and learning design - developing people.
Conventional 'training' is required to cover essential work-related skills,
techniques and knowledge, and much of this section deals with taking a
positive progressive approach to this sort of traditional 'training'.
Importantly however, the most effective way to develop people is quite
different from conventional skills training, which let's face it many employees
regard quite negatively. They'll do it of course, but they won't enjoy it much
because it's about work, not about themselves as people. The most effective
way to develop people is instead to enable learning and personal
development, with all that this implies.
So, as soon as you've covered the basic work-related skills training that is
much described in this section - focus on enabling learning and development
for people as individuals - which extends the range of development way
outside traditional work skills and knowledge, and creates far more exciting,
liberating, motivational opportunities - for people and for employers.
Rightly organizations are facing great pressure to change these days - to
facilitate and encourage whole-person development and fulfillment - beyond
traditional training.
It is a learning process that involves the gaining knowledge, sharpening of
skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the
performance of employees.
There are many different training and development methods. On-the-job
training, informal training, classroom training, internal training courses,
external training courses, on-the-job coaching, life-coaching, mentoring,
training assignments and tasks, skills training, product training, technical
training, behavioral development training, role-playing and role-play games
and exercises, attitudinal training and development, accredited training and
learning, distance learning - all part of the training menu, available to use and
apply according to individual training needs and organizational training
needs.

19. General Training Tips:
These tips apply essentially to traditional work-related training - for the transfer of necessary job- or work-related
skills or knowledge.
These tips do not apply automatically to other forms of enabling personal development and facilitating learning,
which by their nature involve much wider and various development methods and experiences.
When planning training think about:
•Your objectives - keep them in mind all the time.
•How many people you are training.
•The methods and format you will use.
•When and how long the training lasts.
•Where it happens.
•How you will measure its effectiveness.
•How you will measure the trainees' reaction to it.
When you give skills training to someone use this simple five-step approach:
1- Prepare the trainee - take care to relax them as lots of people find learning new things stressful.
2- Explain the job/task, skill, project, etc - discuss the method and why; explain standards and why; explain
necessary tools, equipment or systems.
3- Provide a demonstration - step-by-step - the more complex, the more steps - people cannot absorb a whole
complicated task all in one go - break it down - always show the correct way - accentuate the positive - seek
feedback and check understanding.
4- Have the trainee practice the job - we all learn best by actually doing it - ('I hear and I forget, I see and I
remember, I do and I understand' - Confucius).
5- Monitor progress - give positive feedback - encourage, coach and adapt according to the pace of development.

20. Some tips to make training (and learning, coaching, mentoring) more enjoyable and effective:
• Keep instructions positive ('do this' rather than 'don't do this')
• Avoid jargon - or if you can't then explain them and better still provide a written glossary.
•You must tailor training to the individual, so you need to be prepared to adapt the pace according to the performance once training has
begun.
• Encourage, and be kind and thoughtful - be accepting of mistakes, and treat them as an opportunity for you both to learn from them.
• Focus on accomplishment and progress - recognition is the fuel of development.
• Offer praise generously.
• Be enthusiastic - if you show you care you can expect your trainee to care too.
• Check progress regularly and give feedback
• Invite questions and discussion.
• Be patient and keep a sense of humor.
Induction Training Tips:
•Assess skill and knowledge level before you start.
•Teach the really easy stuff first.
•Break it down into small steps and pieces of information.
•Encourage pride.
•Cover health and safety issues fully and carefully.
•Try to identify a mentor or helper for the trainee.
•As a manager, supervisor, or an organization, helping your people to develop is the greatest
contribution you can make to their well-being. Do it to your utmost and you will be rewarded many
times over through greater productivity, efficiency, environment and all-round job-satisfaction.
•Remember also to strive for your own personal self-development at all times - these days we have
more opportunity and resource available than ever to increase our skills, knowledge and self-
awareness. Make use of it all.
