Features

Effective Training: Systems, Strategies and Practices discusses the training process within an overarching framework that shows readers how training activities meet organizational needs that are both strategic and tactical in nature.

 

The fourth edition adds new material, enhancing the ease of reading and understanding.

 

Seamless Integration of Theory and Application: The authors continue connecting theory and research surrounding the teaching-learning experience within the “how-to” portion of the text. Numerous examples are provided in every chapter so that students get a step-by-step process of designing a training program.

 

Overarching Model of Training Process: Unlike other Training books on the market, Effective Training places training activities in the context of organizational strategy. Readers are not only guided through each phase of the training process, but they also see how each phase relates to the overall strategy of the organization.

 

Human Resources as a Competitive Advantage: In today’s rapidly changing global business environment, managers must adapt just as business models must change. This text exposes how realigning managerial competencies to meet new business models requires a tight connection between the business unit and the HR department.

 

Small Business Perspective: While most Training books focus on large firms, this edition addresses training applications aimed at smaller companies with limited resources.

 

Running Case: The Fabrics Inc. case runs throughout the text, demonstrating the step-by-step process of developing an actual training program from needs analysis throughout evaluation.

 

Training In Action: This in-text feature provides numerous examples to highlight key components of the training process.

 

NEW! Updated Examples & Content: In order to continue updating and improving this text, the following are a few of the content changes:

  • New section on Careers in Training added to Ch 1
  • Expanded coverage of Legal Issues
  • Expanded coverage of the employee & manager relationship-Ch 11
