Training and development within the context of HRD

-



An American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) sponsored study by Pat Mclagan in 1989 identified the HRD roles and competencies needed for an effective HRD function. This ASTD study documented a shift from more traditional training and development topics to a function that included career development and organizational development issues as well' The study depicted the relationship between HRM (Human Resource Management) and HRD function as a “ Human Resource Wheel.” The Original HR wheel from McLagan Identified three primary HRD functions'

It can be numbered as follows.

1.  Training and development

2.  Organization development

3.  Career development

It can be clearly identified by the Human Resource Wheel depicted below.

According to the above training and development (T&D) is a key function of Human Resource Development and it holds more importance in developing employees to achieve the current and future needs of the organization.

Defining T & D has been quite straightforward, as writers have separated the meanings of training and development and created a specific definition for each word' As cited by Abdullah" H. (2009), Nadler and Nadler (1989:4) provided a shorter and simpler definition of training and development in which training was defined as “ Learning provided by employers related to the present job” and development was defined as “Learning for growth of the individual but not related to a specific present or future job.”

According to the above definition, training is for the present job and development is for the growth of present and future job. As cited by Abdullah, H. (2009), it has been urged that HRD is a strategic and business approach to training and developing human resources in an organization for performance and organizational improvement. (Garaavan, 1995 a, Harrison, 2000) As Abdullah, H. (2009) also cited in his article.

HRD and T & D may be similar in their concepts and purposes" but HRD is different in that it has roles that extend far beyond training and development' (Stend and Lee, 1996)

HRD is a strategically oriented organizational process for managing the development of human resources and is strategically associated with employees, training, development and overall business success. (Harrison, 2000)

Therefore it can be concluded that HRD is an extension of training and development, which includes a strategic dimension, whereas training and development is a role in implementing Human Resources Development.

    Organizations conduct training and development programs regularly to improve employee ability. but the main problem is people are joining this program as a hobby. They could not take effect of the program. After the program employees work in a previous manner. So the managers should take feedback and follow up with the employee to get change after the program also. if not the conducted program is worthless work as like government sector in Sri Lanka.

HRD Evaluation Model

Donald Kirkpatrick has developed a very popular evaluation model that has been used since the late 1950s by the training community. The focus is on measuring four kinds of outcomes that should result from a highly effective training program' Perhaps the best-known evaluation methodology for judging learning processes is Donald Kirkpatrick’s Four Level Evaluation Model which was first published in a series of articles in 1959 in the Journal of American Society of Training Directors (now known as T + D Magazine). The series was later compiled and published as an article, “ Techniques for Evaluating Training Programs”, in a book Kirkpatrick edited, “ Evaluating Training Programs” (1975). However, it was not until his 1994 book was published, Evaluating Training programs, that the four levels became popular. Nowadays" his four levels remain a cornerstone in the learning industry. Kirkpatrick's model includes four levels or steps of outcome evaluation : ·   Level 1 Evaluation –...
