Human Resources Training And Development; Unlocking Your Business Potential

By Kenneth Allen


The act of streamlining and the benefit thereof is a subject that many tomes have been written. The dictionary definition of it is "to construct or design in a form that offers the least resistance to fluid flow." Alternatively streamlining is said to be about "improving the appearance or efficiency of (an object or living entity)." This is the case for Human resources training and development.

The purpose of the exercise is to realize the potential of an existing workforce of a particular size to produce the most efficient service capability possible. It helps an organization to fully utilize the potential of its human resources. This can only be achieved through periodical training, seminars and workshops, career development causes and performance appraisal.

It is not usually easy to create a sound business case for a major change in human resources. This is due to the fact that there are so many imponderables that are involved and each company is different. What may work almost effortlessly at one entity may present insurmountable difficulties at another.

In recent times HR Development have become an industry very much in its right, and specialist service providers themselves employ large numbers of people to give advice and assistance to other companies. One important and most essential aspect of their work is to manage any feelings of doubt or suspicion that may arise from their presence and to try to get the workforce "on the side" to enlist its co-operation for the duration of the reorganization period.

Any case for change needs at the very least to incorporate a vision. It is important to take a view on what we want to get out of the project, and where we wish to be at the end of it. It is equally important that this vision is communicated properly, to facilitate buy-in from the key people upon whom we depend on making it work.

In fact streamlining and modernization isn't concepts that are exclusive to commercial business. In the public sector to the demands of taxpayers and of all those who require good service that is lean and yet efficient require them to adopt something similar to a business model in the running of their operations. Local government has particularly been a big growth area for HR transformation training in recent years.

One other essential aspect of HR Development, sometimes known simply as HRD, is to ensure the ultimate synchronization of individual talents with the corporate needs of a given organization. Some staff does, of course, still need to be dispensed with when there is a need to downsize, and if not handled correctly the process of making redundancies cam cause others within the organization to panic. Thus redundancy management is an integral part of HR transformation coaching.

Thorough HR management assists an employer to extract the best from the finite human resource that it has available at its disposal. To achieve this, it may wish to seek advice or active intervention from an HR specialist who will study its HR systems and if commissioned to will transform them to embracing their full potential.
