5. Training and Learning Approaches

-

 


When Training materials, course interactions, and course content are delivered via technology, which is known as E-Learning and E-Training. According to a recent poll, firms spent more than 40.4 billion on E-Learning initiatives. This figure was nearly doubled prior to 2004 (BasuMallick, 2021). Because of the pandemic crisis, most businesses and teachers have shifted to online training and instruction. As a result, HR experts must organize those sessions through negotiation with the trainees. This E-Training technique is frequently used in technology-related industries. 

HRM was able to save roughly 40-50 percent on training costs because of these e-learning methods. Employees can also save time by using E-Learning Approaches since it reduces travel time and other lead periods. Additionally, this strategy allows employees to maintain a work/life balance (Jesse, 2021). Employees must travel overseas for some training sessions. Because of this method, the organization may save money and minimize lead times.

In addition, a cloud-based HRIM system may track an employee's progress through training programs through online exam activities (metrices, 2021). A Learning Management System (LMS) may also be used to manage, track, and evaluate training activities. Employees of the organization may sign up for modules using this LMS technique, and their progress can be tracked using the system. Also Learning Content System (LCS) can be use to manage the course contents through the online. Because lot of new generation employees are working in many organizations, a lot of Web 2.0 applications can be useful to deal with them and communicate with them. Ex: Blogs, Wiki and Facebook (Garrett, 2022).

    That is very needfully idea for current environment in the country. Enyone can't travelling to enywhere easily in current situation of Sri Lanka. No fuel, not enough transport. Picketing in everywhere. So employee cannot get good traing by travelling to training centre. Therefore this method is convenient to arrange training programmes.

      Yes, this method is a good solution for all employees who are facing geological barriers to participate physical training sessions. Taking additional leaves to travel to their training centers is not be required any more. So additional cost will be also saved.

    With all the time and effort, the training and teaching methods of technology are the most effective. This system is very valuable for a country like ours compared to the situation in Sri Lanka for several years. Technology can provide employee training on a regular basis. The rest of the time can be used for teaching activities to increase employee productivity

      The main problem we are facing in this country is non availability of adequate broadband ( 4G, 3G) system to cover all over country. So accessing to internet is limited based on the location. Otherwise as you said this is a very useful time saving product.

    Most of the money for e-learning and e-tanning is given to the training and development department of each institution through the budget of an organization. there is an urgent need to create employees with the best technical knowledge in the organization through this.

    Would like to add, "Digital learning" refers to a learning strategy that relies on the use of modern digital tools to enable learners to learn in a variety of ways, including face-to-face, distance learning (asynchronous or synchronous), and blended learning, among other things which creates a huge cost cutting to the firms.

Through LMS it is possible to better monitor the training and development of employees. This communication victory is very easy for both parties. This is a valuable note about that

      Even though every time we are talking the advantages such as time saving , cost saving , etc. there are some disadvantages also in this method such as,
      - Lacks social interaction
      - Inaccessible to others ( internet interruptions)
      - Requires self-motivation and proper time management skill

  ( Image source - Briefing, 2018) First and foremost, creating a digitalized culture within the firm is a big task for HRM. To address this, HR must plan a variety of training programs, seminars, and conferences that are tailored to the audience. Because workers may be lacking in digitalized knowledge at times. Human resources should take steps to educate their staff about the shift.  In addition, the organization's management may struggle with the shift (Armstrong, 2006) . This may be difficult. Because some bosses have maintained their own working style for many years. Human resource procedures must also adapt to digitalized ways. To handle the operations, training programs and information gathering procedures must be automated, and specialist knowledge in both HRM and technology is necessary (Garrett, 2022) .  (Image source - Lomas, 2019) Because everything is done online, interactions between HRM professionals and employees may be terminated. As a result, the HR staf...

Because of the popularity of social networking sites, most individuals utilize them. As a result, HR management will pay close attention to their workers' behavior on those sites. When developing recruitment and decision-making procedures, HR Management will evaluate that person's social media conduct (BasuMallick, 2021) .   Because of the ongoing expansion of compliance and reporting obligations, the government may seek additional information concerning pending taxes, financial reports, health care, equal employment, and so on. As a result of digitization, government organizations may be able to request certain reports online (Broth, 2020) . In the future, rent vs. buy decisions may occur. The HR department must purchase associated software from suppliers at an early age. However, when the company's cloud-computing capabilities expand, HR will be able to rent them. Buying and renting decisions can be challenged in the near future (Armstrong, 2006) .  Also, the privacy con...
