Web Based Employee Learnig and Development

          Employee Learning and Development (ELD) systems is the system that plan and observe the employee training, career development and the employee’s performance. As well as analyze the employee career development, ELD systems also recommend training programs and periodic performance appraisal. There are several purposes of ELD systems, which is:

  1. Improve and correct an employee’s performance and the organization’s itself.
  2. Training programs increase the employee’s knowledge, skill and attitudes towards their current work.
  3. Development programs where the program conducts in order to preparing the employees with their future work.
  4. To ensure the employees can keep on competitiveness and well perform in their work. 
  5. Help the employee manage their stress due to work overload.

            The figure below shows ELD system that consists of 5 important functions which are employee personal information, performance before training, training course, training transfer and program evaluation. This system can automate and systematic the overall training process. ELD system can record and store all the information related to training and learning program, fulfill new position and promotion, enable employee to access their performance appraisal and personal information, available course provided and others.

          Basically in  web on employee learning development must have component which is must have employee personal information such as staff ID, IC number, address, and position worker on the job. Performance before training also can be describes as the employee education, performance level and how the employee develops their job responsibility before they attend any training. It can be checked based on the employee’s Key Performance Indicator (KPI). Training course is information that the employee need to know like course code, course name, module, date of training, subject matter expert (SME), training methods and length of course. Next, training transfer how the knowledge in training transfer to participants, either transfer through knowledge development, forum, video conference, outdoor skill training or others types of training transfer. The last component is program evaluation. Evaluation looks at the total value of that training event and process, thereby placing it into its organizational context and aiding future planning. Faced in an evaluation task, there are four crucial questions to answer: why, who, when and how in evaluating the method, transfer of training and results based on the training objectives. (Harrison, 2005, p.143)

            The advantages of ELD system are cost effective and accessibility helps to empowerment and facilitation and improved computer skills. This system is easy for record information compared using traditional record. Its can save time employee do the work manually. So the employee can do the other work not only focus for one work. Whether the disadvantages of ELD system are lack of human contact, need employees to know the computer basic skills and certain contents are not suitable to employees. Moreover, we can discover new information that can improve how our organization operates. If our sales team takes a computer training course, we may learn a better way to organize our account data. If a key member of our team is dissatisfied with her current position but takes a management class that sparks her interest, we may be able to adjust her job responsibilities to suit her needs better. In conclusion, the ELD system can help make the process easier to implement, facilitate timely information sharing and enabling a consistent coordination between elements and the organization.
