The right to education, development and education, at the right time, sees great impact on the employer to increase the productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution. Learn about the approaches to ensure your training brings a return on your investment.

The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) “believes that the bodies of the United States shall apply $ 109.25 billion on training and development every year with almost three quarters ($ 79.75 billion) for the within the function of learning and the remainder ($ 29.50 billion) for external services. ”

The licensing, certification, training, education, and to preserve and maintain the skills are increasingly important. According to the State, Report 2006: The American Society for Training and Development of trends in the annual report of the employer training, the amount of the contributions of employers, provided that training is growing. The ASTD Annual “looking [s] copy of the ASTD Benchmarking Forum (BMF) and the best [training] winners of the prizes for excellence, to determine how they invest in education and development”.

The study has shown ASTD:

“The annual expenditure per employee in the ASTD sample of large companies (BMF) has agreed on $ 1,424 per employee in 2005, representing an increase of 4.0 percent in the previous year. Expenditure per employee in our sample of the best organizations around 3, 1616 $ 7 percent in the year 2005.

“For BMF facilities in 2005, the expenditure as a percentage of payroll since last year is still 2.20 percent. The average expenditure as a percentage of payroll in 2005 Winner of the Best Award of Excellence was the lowest in 2005, 2.72 percent That in 2004 (2.86 percent).

This is in line with the staff of focusing on the chance to grow and develop their skills during their careers and in your employment. The opportunity for the development underway, is one of the five most important people want to experience at work. In fact, the inability of an employee to see the progress is often a reason for an employer.

Club of the personnel department for personnel management of enterprises during the training HRM
Are you looking for a simple way to for the information society and the development of employees at work? Form a club in which books a group of employees voluntarily read the same book. Combine that with a book discussion reproduction round with a double effect of the work. Please contact an employee to lead the debate on the week from travelers or two chapters. Ask a second employee to lead the debate on the relevance of the findings of the book in your body. Increase learning with a club books.
Difficulty: Easy
Time required: about 15 hours to read and from selected book.
Here is how:

1st Determine whether the employees are interested in a club books. An e-mail to assess the playing staff a book on their own time, and then meeting during the lunch time once a week to the book. (In the TechSmith Corporation, these short e-mail of interest by twenty-six voluntary readers.)

2nd Sometimes managers and office workers have a book in May with the spirit of thinking. (Perhaps an employee recently read a book that I recommend.) Other times, a small team, the attitude is, a book or multiple choice. This step may also depend on voluntary work are the readers. If the majority, the marketing function, you want to May, to adapt to a new book marketing. If the drives are designed for the entire enterprise, you want a bigger or more to the society of the book.

3rd Allow voluntary participants in the election in order to read the book.

4th I recommend that the society on the purchase of copies of the book. It is a small price for the generation of knowledge.

5th An organizational meeting soon in determining the number of chapters, the group will read and every week on the books. Select a volunteer for the book discussion at this meeting. Select a volunteer, to the relevance of the debate. Choose an ordinary meeting of the time.

6th Reading, to meet to discuss.

7th If the group the entire book, choose the next book. An e-mail to the company announced the next book and the burden on members for the next round of the building association.

8th I love functional by members of associations of the book for the Society of team spirit and the cross on a functional point of view. However, you can also use it when members of the department, for example, jointly read a book, interest in the ministry.

Recommendations:

1st Not invite new members into the club reading every time a new product. They do not want the group into an exclusive agreement team.

2nd Choose books that are heavily. Several books have been popular in recent years of work in the following clubs:

First break, all the rules, what the World’s Greatest Managers … (Compare prices).
Good to Great (compare prices).
Freakonomics (compare prices).
The world is flat (compare prices).

3rd Sharing books is a mistake. You buy one book per person, so that your employees feel unpressured as members of the club of the books. (They have enough pressure in other aspects of their work. Right?)
