Book excerpt: The development of Human Resource has assumed importance particularly after the government's focus on HRD, introduction of liberalized economy and globalisation of world trade. This has led to world trade competition. For this purpose, every corporate entity sought ISO certification, which enjoins on the industry to impart regular training to its workforce. Thus training has taken centerstage. HR is now considered as human capital and much importance is given to the development and training of this unique resource. The one area in HR that found global visibility is training. Training has a direct relationship to HR's concern about human capital development and globalisation of workforce. People want to study at their own pace and time. The exciting development area is therefore e-learning. Keeping the above developments in view, it is imperative that business organisations should develop their own internal resources for training and development of their workforce. While giving stress on management development, most organizations ignore development and training of operatives who constitute the bulwark of their human capital. This aspect has been suitably taken care of in this book. This comprehensive book covers all aspects of training and development starting from conceptual inputs to management of training environment, instructor's competencies, transfer of learning, IT based training, to mention a few should be presented to line managers. The book is divided into four parts - Training and Development, Training Delivery, Evaluation of Training, and the last part containing eleven Appendices relating to the Text.Attempt has been made to present the subject in a succinct and lucid manner, bringing the latest on the subject. The text focuses not only on the traditional training methods, but also on the importance of development dimensions. This comprehensive compendium on training and development, sprinkled with copious examples, will be useful for the budding trainers, HR practitioners and academicians alike.

Book excerpt: This book offers an integrated and contextualised framework for learning and development (L&D) effectiveness that addresses both the nature of L&D and its antecedents and outcomes in organisations. Scholars and practitioners alike have recognised the important role that L&D plays in organisations, where the development of human capital is an essential component of individual employability, career advancement, organisational performance, and competitive advantage. The development of employees’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes constitutes one of the most important HR challenges that organisations face. The evidence indicates that organisations continue to invest in L&D programmes as part of their HR strategy. In addition, there has been an enormous growth in research on L&D in organisations; however, there is some ambiguity concerning the effectiveness of these activities and it largely remains unclear how they can be best implemented. This book seeks to address this gap in the literature. The authors propose a framework for L&D effectiveness based on key findings from reviews, empirical research, and meta-analyses, as well as previously established theoretical frameworks within the field. Combining theory and practice, the new framework this book offers provides key guidance for L&D practitioners and researches interested in the area.

Book excerpt: In today's corporate world, employee management is first and the foremost concern of any organization. An organization can easily churn out the best out of their employees by improvising the strategic development within the human resource norms. This book comprehensively discusses the strategic management functions that are designed to meet the business objectives effectively. This textbook explains the concepts of human resource management (HRM) and human resource development (HRD), and shows how they supplement and complement each other. The book explicates how sourcing, retention, development, compensation and performance are driven by the strategic business needs in an organization. Divided into four parts, the book explicates strategic developmental aspects of the people (training and development) vis-á-vis organizational behaviour, culture and leadership as well as primacy of technology in training as well as the concepts of human resource management and human resource development. The special feature of this book is a chapter on Competency Mapping, which is a tool to identify accurate skills for developing competency requirement within the employees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human resource development (HRD) is a very large field of practice and a relatively young academic discipline. Furthermore, HRD is deeply concerned about the dynamic issues of individual and organizational change. Such a profession is in need of a complete and thoughtful foundational text. That is the purpose of this book. The intention is that this foundation book will serve the needs of both practitioners and academics for the purpose of adding clarity to their professional journeys. While we have a personal preference as to the purpose and primary means of doing HRD work, the attempt has been to provide a fair review of the range of major views that exist in the profession....This book is directed toward several audiences. First, it is designed for university courses in HRD. We argue that every HRD academic program needs a course that teaches the foundations of the field. Second, HRD researchers will find the book thought-provoking and useful as a guide to core research issues. Third, it is written for reflective practitioners who actively seek to lead the field as it grows and matures. Finally, almost every practitioner will find parts of the book that will add depth to their practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing people in a multinational context is the essence of international human resource management. This requires a broader perspective of what operating internationally involves, and a clear recognition of the range of issues pertaining to all categories of staff operating in different functional, task and managerial capacities. Books that are available on the subject are heavily loaded with cultural aspects rather than HRM processes. From teaching experience, it is noticed that students who are familiar with domestic HRM books find it difficult to comprehend the subject of international HRM. Therefore the topics are arranged in the traditional HRM style with international implications at each stage. A separate chapter is allocated for Expatriation & Repatriation. Similarly Management of People in international context in sixteen countries is discussed in a separate chapter.The text aims to cover in terms of industries, to illustrate the activities and approaches of international organisations. Also, the coverage of different cultures is not intended to include all the different and diverse cultures of the world, simply to enable sufficient understanding of the cultural contexts from which many of the approaches are derived, and to provide background on the appropriateness of different aspects of managing people in international organisations. A detailed treatment to empirical researches on cross cultural issues and cross cultural, comparative management issues arising out of cross border mergers and acquisitions as well as human resource issues emerging out of global acquisitions of Arcelor and Corus by Indian companies and companies of Indian origin are also treated in the text.

Book excerpt: While designing and delivering workshops; practitioners and aspiring trainers feel the shortfall of conceptual content or the need to have the most essential concepts available in one source. Training and Development: An Essential Guide for Students and Practitioners is one such source that gives you to the point concepts of T&D in an easy to understand language, balancing the theory and practical aspects. Also T&D applications are best understood with a basic foundation in OD as a functional area and its application in the industry. Thus, the book begins with an overview on understanding OD and then takes on the complete training cycle in a sequence. Most practitioners emphasize level-one of training evaluation, which is the immediate feedback after a session and other levels like learning & on job behavior, and results invariably get ignored. Thus, the book also covers the much needed inputs on training evaluation. This book also offers sample of formats to be used such as preparing a training proposal, training calendar and how to identify training needs. Over thirty such ready-to-use formats are included. It is therefore a ready reckoner for students and practitioners to apply it professionally at work.
