For Employers - Training & Development

Conventional 'training' is required to cover essential work-related skills, techniques and knowledge, and much of this section deals with taking a positive progressive approach to this sort of traditional 'training'.

As soon as you've covered the basic work-related skills training that is much described in this section - focus on enabling learning and development for people as individuals - which extends the range of development way outside traditional work skills and knowledge, and creates far more exciting, liberating, motivational opportunities - for people and for employers.
Organisations are facing great pressure to change these days - to facilitate and encourage whole-person development and fulfilment - beyond traditional training.

You might not immediately be able to put great new emphasis on 'whole-person development'. Being realistic, corporate attitudes and expectations about what 'training' is and does cannot be changed overnight, and most organisations still see 'training' as being limited to work skills, classrooms and PowerPoint presentations. However, if you start imagining, thinking and talking about concepts and expressions such as:

  • 'enabling learning'
  • 'facilitating meaningful personal development'
  • 'helping people to identify and achieve their own personal potential'

Then you will surely begin to help the organisation (and CEO) to see and accept these newer ideas about what types of 'learning and development' really work best, in terms of developing employees.
