Definition of training The official and ongoing educational activities within an organization designed to enhance the fulfillment and performance of employees.
Training and development programs offered by a business might include a variety of educational techniques and programs that can be attended on a compulsory or voluntary basis by staff. ( http://www. Objectifications. Com/definition/training- and-development. HTML/jejune) Patrick (1 992), in one of the best books available on the psychology of training, starts his discussion of the definition of training by referring to its aims – to develop new skills, knowledge or expertise. He then cites two definitions of training. Http://www. El. AC. Resourceful/psychology/ superconductivity /page_03. Tm) “Training is the systematic development of the attitudes/knowledge/skill behavior patterns required by an individual in order to perform adequately a given task or job. ” Patrick gives a second definition from Goldstein (1980): “The acquisition of skills, concepts or attitudes that result in improved performance in an on-job situation. ” For the purpose of this learning unit we shall depart slightly from both of these definitions.
Here, training will be defined as: “The manipulation of conditions to enable a person or team to develop the competency required to fulfill their work responsibilities or undertake some other purposeful activity. “An important feature of this definition of training is that it is operationally defined. That is, it is defined in terms of what training sets out to achieve – competency at work or at some other task-related activity, rather than prescribing the psychological components that lead to competency. ( Goldstein, I. L. (1980). Training in work organizations. Annual Review of Psychology, 31, 229-272. Patrick, J. (1992). Training Research and Practice. London: Academic Press. ) Development A word commonly encountered in organizations, especially in conjunction with management, is ‘development’. The operational definition of training above applies equally to that of development, although the word development has nuances that need to be appreciated by people applying occupational psychology in practice.
Development is used in the occupational setting to imply a longer term and more durable change to the behavior of the individual. It is often used in preference to the word training in the context of management development or staff development to imply processes that change the individual’s capability to deal with events in the future in a more flexible and profound way than merely replicating standard pieces of behavior. In a development programmer we would aim for a person to be able to deal effectively with circumstances that had not been anticipated.
Such capability entails less tangible aspects of performance such as attitudes, perceptions, judgments, diagnosis, insights, discretion and flexibility.

So very year they send their employees to different countries to train them in a global manner. Milliner’s training program focuses on two broad areas; some are aimed to upgrade the skill of an individual which is more of a functional training, whilst others are aimed to elevate the leadership quality of an individual, which is more of a behavioral training (Milliner, Handouts of training).
There are mainly three type of training program which Milliner follows to train their employees: they are on the job training, off the job training and e-learning. These are mainly designed for employees for different levels. On the job training programs are for the employees who are at entry level in the company. They are called general skill. General skill training is taken by the external vendors most of the time. It’s more about industry knowledge. The trainees are taught about the business and the industry. That is why, it is called general skill (Milliner Handout).
Off the job training programs are for the mid-level and upper- level employees. These types of training programs are called functional skill. Most of the time, these training programs are held both locally and regionally. These training programs are mainly for professional skills. For the upper-level employees, they do more conference, workshops etc. The cost of these training programs is very high and they are regional trainings (Milliner Handout). Milliner already introduced E-learning for their employees as a part of global training.
Because of all the new issues and the economic crisis, Milliner is also trying to cut its extra expenses. The HER department of Milliner decided to train some of their employees by using Weber and only the very deserving employees, who have talents and future leadership quality, will go for global training. It will cut the extra costs and save a lot of time. This process is time consuming, cheap and easy to learn (Milliner Handout). Global training programs of Milliner are not cheap. Milliner spends a lot of money every year to develop its employees.
It sends its employees to different countries to make sure that Milliner works as a team no matter where they are based. These training programs are not only for the high level managers. Milliner sends its management trainees in these global training programs as well. Milliner UK has its own 4 Acres site for training its employees, Not only that, Milliner sends its employees to train them in institutes eke Harvard, MOM, INSEAM etc. Only the very deserving employees get the chance to go for their training and developing programs.
Actually the company provide every training method whatever or whenever they need to do. They do all activities for improving their employees. They spend a lot of money to improve the skills of employee for better performance. So there is no way to explain the training methods which they not use. But they should use an extra training that is informal learning. Because everybody like to enjoy anything informally. People are get bored from daily formal duty or work. So they want to relax. To provide some kind of training which is both enjoyable and learning.
