LEARNING BUSINESSES
- Ursula Tatzber
Qualified employees are the basis of tomorrow’s success
Continual changes of the business environment, new technology and above all the growing demands of the market require a constant willingness to learn from a company and its’ employees. It’s not only about fulfilling the tasks of today but above all being ready for the demands of tomorrow!
An ever growing number of companies have already experienced that investing in human resources ensures future success, know how and an agreeable work climate. There is a high demand for company further training, which is one of the main tasks of modern personnel management.
To sensibly plan and implement training programs, a detailed analysis of the training requirements is necessary. Here the strategic training requirements at an individual and organizational level are explored. A strategic future orientation should if the future qualification needs and the present supply are congruent, or whether additional measures will be necessary to stay competitive.
Holistic education management in a company has to consider the fact that groups as well as individuals are integrated in the learning process, and the qualification processes should be oriented on concrete work processes. This means that training measures are not a quick fix solution, but part of a goal orientated competence development of employees. The efficiency of the measures taken can be ensured through an evaluation of their successful implementation using fixed criteria. If qualification plans are not regularly reviewed, they will certainly depreciate in value. Tight budgets force a well-considered decision regarding investment in personnel and organization development measures.
