Training and Other Thoughts

This past week I have been writing a paper for this HR class. I decided to write my paper on Success for the Workplace: Understanding Training and Performance Reviews Benefits. I find this topic interesting because I have always felt that training employees is very important. What I did not understand is how training can prevent a lot of company issues.

One idea that I have been thinking a whole lot more about is businesses that create competency. This incorporates hiring competent managers that have the skills to drive businesses forward. This includes people skills, communication skills, ability to analyze business and employee weaknesses and set plans and goals for change, and ability to lead people. Competent managers have the abilities to perform all operations and create success. I strongly believe that successful employees create successful businesses. Managers are at the forefront directing this longterm success.

Another thought that I had was about how important people are for any organization or business. And, if people are what drive successful business, shouldn't they be given as much attention as possible from the organization? This would include training, performance reviews, great leadership, organizations and plans, proper pay, incentives, valued culture, and company transparency. All of these things and more help retain employees and create employee loyalty. They also foster growth within the company which in turn only fosters people who want to succeed. I've said it before, but successful people create successful businesses.
