Staff Training and Development
The benefits of staff training and development are many. Training presents a prime opportunity to expand the knowledge base of all employees, but many employers find most development opportunities expensive. Employees may miss out on work time while attending training sessions, which may delay the completion of work projects. Despite the potential drawbacks, training and development provides both the company as a whole and individual employees with benefits that make the cost and time a worthwhile investment.
Employees who are struggling to cope with the demands of their job should be assessed in order to determine as to whether there are any training and development requirements. Provisions should be implemented in order to improve their performance prior to commencing any formal performance management process. It is important to consider that any formal performance management process which results in the termination of employment of an employee without considering and applying any relevant training could render any subsequent termination of employment unfair.
In many industries there is no specific legislation, apart from Health & Safety that refers directly to an employer's obligation to train and develop their employees.
There are however, certain regulatory bodies that various industries do have to report to and many of these regulatory bodies impose specific requirements to train and develop staff to a required competence.
The benefits of training and development on a business performance, productivity and employee morale have long been proven; however there are also moral and best practice training and development guidelines that could be utilised in every business in order to train and develop staff to perform in a role that meets the business expectations.
It is important to note that in the event of misconduct, an employer is advised to consider the amount of coaching, developing, mentoring and training that the employee has received, before deciding if there is a case to answer.
