TRAINING FRAMEWORK
A training framework is a structured approach used by organizations to plan, develop,
implement, and evaluate their training and development programs.
BENEFITS OF TRAINING
- Economy in Operations – Trained personnel will be able to make better and
economical use of materials use of materials and equipment. - Greater Productivity – A well-trained employee usually shows greater
productivity and higher quality of work-output than an untrained employee. - Uniformity of Procedures – With the help of training, the best available methods
of work can be standardized and made available to all employees. - Less Supervision – If the employees are given proper training, the responsibility
of supervision is lessened. - Systematic Imparting of Skills – A systematic training program helps to reduce
the learning time to reach the acceptable level of performance. - Creation of Inventory of Skills – When totally new skills are required by an
organization, it must face great difficulties in employment. - Higher Morale – The morale of the employees is increased if they are given proper
training.
Training design process
refers to a
systematic approach for developing training programs
two specific types of training design processes
Instructional System Design (ISD)
and the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation)
training design process
NEEDS ASSESSMENT (STAGE 1)
ENSURING EMPLOYEES’ READINESS FOR TRAINING (STAGE 2)
CREATING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT (STAGE 3)
ENSURING TRANSFER OF TRAINING (STAGE 4)
SELECTING TRAINING METHODS (STAGE 5)
BENEFITS OF TRAINING TO EMPLOYEES
- Acquisition of New Skills – Employees acquire new skills and knowledge which
will help them develop their career prospects. - Higher Wages – The productivity of the workers is increased because of training.

Goal-setting Theory
Explains the mechanisms by which goals influence behavior, and how the latter
can be moderated by goal characteristics (difficulty and specificity), the level of
commitment, the importance of the goal, levels of self-efficacy, feedback, and
task complexity.
Behavioral learning Theory
Behavioral learning is a training theory centered around the idea that people learn
through their interactions with their environment. Basically, it assumes that
learners react and behave based on the associations between stimuli and
responses. Positive reinforcement plays a vital role in this training theory
Adult Learning Theory
The principles of adult learning theory emphasize that adult learners have
different qualities and needs than younger learners
Constructivist Learning Theory
According to constructivist learning theory, people are more active learners than
passive. Meaning, they learn best when they experience or discover things on their
own, rather than simply being lectured
➢ Microlearning Theory
Microlearning theory explains that learners absorb new information better if it is
presented in short, concise bursts
ONBOARDING, OR SOCIALIZATION
Refers to the process of helping new hires adjust to social and performance aspects of
their new jobs.
