New employee training

My current organization provides orientation and training programs.  Currently, I have received orientation training and it has really improved my job performance, and more importantly, it has helped achieve my desires, and hence increased satisfaction.  I feel that the orientation was purposeful and valuable for the organization in that the business environment is changing and the changes demand new equipment, new job responsibilities, among other things.  This means that employees need literacy training, technical training, and interpersonal skills. The training was purposeful in that the organization increased productivity and performance, retention, and productive working relationships.

 

 If the organization didn't have an orientation training, I think it is important for the organization to create job orientation programs.   I believe that for an organization to achieve effectiveness, it must provide new employees with rules, and help them understand the organizational culture (Hina, 2014).  In general, the orientation training would help new employees’ better transition into the organization by communicating how to perform the duties, and employees will also develop a long-term relationship with the organization.

From my viewpoint, organizational training is important to an employee and the organization in that through training, an employee improves performance, gain new skills, and increases satisfaction and morale. As a result, the organization benefits in that training leads to higher productivity, employees adhere to quality standards, the organization reduces employee turnover, and it benefits from creativity and innovation (Elnaga & Imran, 2013).

  The organization can evaluate the effectiveness of its internal training programs by focusing on the behavior of the employees, targeted outcomes such as employee retention, productivity, engagement, and more.  The organization should also evaluate the learning or if the employees have gained the intended knowledge and skills.

Lastly, if I were to get promoted at work within the next 3 years, the development opportunities that I should seek to get promoted are leadership developments and career development.  The specific skills and competencies that I need include communication skills, adaptability, interpersonal abilities, problem-solving skills, leadership skills, and ethics and integrity.  I have selected these skills and competencies because I must communicate effectively with employees,  I must manage the ever-changing business environment,  I must build relationships,  I must identify and fix problems,  and I must lead and manage people.
