HR Practitioner: Thinking Out of the Box to Make a Difference and Be Different

April 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Very so often we hear about employees complaining not getting enough or proper training. Skills development is a very important aspect any Human Resource practitioner cannot overlook. A good staff make do with appraisals and occasional on the job trainings, but a great staff needs to be nurtured and equipped with the best planned trainings that not only meet the department’s goals but ultimately brings out the best in the individual. Most organisations failed to see this difference, in fact, some even feel sending staff for trainings are a waste of money. While the gain is not immediate, the company can definitely reap the success in the long term.

Quoting Harrison and Kessels (2004), “Human Resource Development, as an organisational process, comprises the skillful planning and facilitation of a variety of formal and informal learning and knowledge processes and experiences, primarily but not exclusively in the workplace, in order that organisational progress and individual potential can be enhanced through the competence, adaptability, commitment and knowledge-creating activity of all who work in the organisation.”

Determined to make a positive change in the HR arena, Neoedge will be partnering with Mr Ian R Thompson, founder and Director of Leadership International Limited, to bring “Strategic Learning and Development Master Class” in Johannesburg, South Africa from 14 to 16 June 2011.

This program addresses the whole arena of human resource development to identify how learning professionals should be positioning themselves to be effective producers of business results. In addition to developing the skills of a learning professional, it looks to develop the policies and procedures required to ensure alignment of learning initiatives and interventions with the business requirements, the visible support of senior executives, delivering efficiency and effectiveness of the department, linking learning to measurable performance and broadening the department offerings beyond formal classroom training.

Existing and aspiring learning professionals whether in the public or private sector who seek to be influential in individual and organizational development should make time.
