Training as an Investment
Training is an investment in human capital. Managers must understand that large investments in physical plant, modern machinery, and new technology cannot be fully realized if there is no equivalent investment in human capital. The acquisition of new skills is not only vital to improving quality and productivity, but it is also essential if companies want to meet global competition.

ROPES Program
• Provides realistic information. Orientation should provide realistic information about the job environment and the organization
• Gives general support and reassurance. It means telling new employees that the stress they experience during the first days or week is normal
![Page 13: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
© 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd. 13
ROPES Program
• Demonstrates coping skills. The orientation program should include stress training
• Identifies specific potential stressors. The program should identify specific stressors, explain their impact, and explain an appropriate coping behaviour
![Page 14: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Orientation Pitfalls
• Overwhelmed with too much information to absorb in a short time
• Given only menial tasks that discourage job interest and company loyalty
• Overload with forms to fill out and manuals to read
![Page 15: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
© 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd. 15
Orientation Pitfalls
• Pushed into the job with a sketchy orientation under the mistaken philosophy that “trial by fire” is the best orientation
• Forced to fill in the gaps between a broad orientation by the human resource department and a narrow orientation at the department level
![Page 16: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Evaluating Orientation Effectiveness
• Reactions from new employees
• Effects of socialization on job attitudes and roles
• Degree to which the program is economical

Training
Training refers to a planned effort by an organization to facilitate the learning of job related behaviour of its employees. The term behaviour is used broadly to include any knowledge and skill acquired by an employee through practice.

Needs Assessment
Needs assessment diagnoses present problems and environmental challenges that can be met through training, or the future challenges to be met through long-term development.

Training Objectives
• The desired behaviour
• The conditions under which it is to occur
• The acceptable performance criteria

Learning Principles
Learning principles are guidelines to the ways in which people learn most effectively.
![Page 22: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Learning Principles
• Participation improves motivation and apparently engages more senses that help reinforce the learning process
• Repetition apparently etches a pattern into our memory
![Page 23: © 2002 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.1 Chapter 7 Orientation and Training](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d255503460f949fc715/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Learning Principles
• RelevanceLearning is helped when the material to be learned is meaningful. For example, trainers usually explain the overall purpose of a job to trainees before explaining specific tasks. This explanation allows the worker to see the relevance of each task and the importance of following the given procedures.

Learning Principles• Transference
Transference is the application of training to actual job situations. The closer the demands of the training program match the demands of the job, the faster a person learns to master the job. For example, pilots are usually trained in flight simulators because the simulators very closely resemble the actual cockpit and flight characteristics of the plane. The close match between the simulator and the plane allows the trainee to transfer quickly the learning in the simulator to actual flight conditions.

Learning Principles
• FeedbackFeedback gives learners information on their progress. With feedback, motivated learners can adjust their behaviour to achieve the quickest possible learning curve. Without feedback, learners cannot gauge their progress and may become discouraged. Test grades are feedback on the study habits of test takers, for example.
