HRM405-Training and Development

Course Description

Businesses today must compete in the global marketplace, and the diversity of the workforce continues to increase. As a result, companies need to train employees to work with persons from different cultures. The role of training has broadened beyond training program design. Effective instructional design remains important, but training managers, human resource experts, and trainers are increasingly being asked to create systems to motivate employees to learn, not only in programs but informally on the job; create knowledge; and share that knowledge with other employees in the company.

This course helps students to understand the importance of training in an organizational setting. Using different methods, concepts and models, students will learn that training has moved from an emphasis on a onetime event to the creation of conditions for learning that can occur through collaboration, online learning, traditional classroom training, or a combination of these methods. This course will also help students to improve the problem solving and critical thinking skills by knowing different training evaluation and program design techniques and choosing the best one for the employees based on their needs assessment.
