The Benefit Of Human Resources Training And Development

By Kenneth Allen


In any area of business, it requires courage to do something radically different. Any kind of restructure brings with it the risk of complete failure if it isn't managed in the right way. It is understandable if sometimes the temptation is to blunder along with a set-up that works badly rather than creating upheaval and running the risk of emerging with one that doesn't work at all. Human resources training and development keeps an entity abreast with relevant skills, experience and specialization necessary in the furtherance of its objectives.

It is a broadly established principle that when a thing is streamlined, it moves more efficiently and is faster, sleeker and more energy efficient. This is primarily because it is made in such a way as to allow it to progress with the minimum of obstruction or resistance.

HR Development and Training can either be provided internally or externally, or indeed a programme can consist of an admixture of the two. Sometimes an external provider will be commissioned to set the process in motion, identify any waste or slack within the organization, generate "quick wins" which will help resource the remainder of the work, and after that to withdraw and allow the organization to continue to streamline itself.

In recent times HR Development have become an industry very much in its right, and specialist service providers themselves employ large numbers of people to give advice and assistance to other companies. One important and most essential aspect of their work is to manage any feelings of doubt or suspicion that may arise from their presence and to try to get the workforce "on the side" to enlist its co-operation for the duration of the reorganization period.

Any case for change needs at the very least to incorporate a vision. It is important to take a view on what we want to get out of the project, and where we wish to be at the end of it. It is equally important that this vision is communicated properly, to facilitate buy-in from the key people upon whom we depend on making it work.

In fact streamlining and modernization isn't concepts that are exclusive to commercial business. In the public sector to the demands of taxpayers and of all those who require good service that is lean and yet efficient require them to adopt something similar to a business model in the running of their operations. Local government has particularly been a big growth area for HR transformation training in recent years.

One other essential aspect of HR Development, sometimes known simply as HRD, is to ensure the ultimate synchronization of individual talents with the corporate needs of a given organization. Some staff does, of course, still need to be dispensed with when there is a need to downsize, and if not handled correctly the process of making redundancies cam cause others within the organization to panic. Thus redundancy management is an integral part of HR transformation coaching.

Thorough HR management assists an employer to extract the best from the finite human resource that it has available at its disposal. To achieve this, it may wish to seek advice or active intervention from an HR specialist who will study its HR systems and if commissioned to will transform them to embracing their full potential.
