PROED 428 - Organizational Training & Development

One of Human Resources' key roles is ensuring that people have the knowledge and skills needed to perform their job responsibilities. Designing a process that ensures employee competence, confidence and performance ownership has several important steps. This course will examine the basics of organizational development as it relates to: assessing performance problems tied to knowledge and skill gaps; developing an infrastructure to ensure training addresses the core issues rather than symptoms; and, designing a variety of competency interventions, such as cross-functional KSA development, systems-thinking, communities of practice, education highways, learning organizations, and evaluation methodologies. Participants will also learn how to best tap into internal and external resources to provide a holistic training program. This session will also facilitate lessons-learned and application strategies for knowledge gained throughout the entire HRM Certificate Program, although it may be taken as an individual course.
