Human Resources Training And Development; Unlocking Your Business Potential

By Kenneth Allen


In any area of business, it requires courage to do something radically different. Any kind of restructure brings with it the risk of complete failure if it isn't managed in the right way. It is understandable if sometimes the temptation is to blunder along with a set-up that works badly rather than creating upheaval and running the risk of emerging with one that doesn't work at all. Human resources training and development keeps an entity abreast with relevant skills, experience and specialization necessary in the furtherance of its objectives.

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.

Those animals which are streamlined in shape tend to be fleet and powerful. The bottlenose dolphin, the mako shark and the savage but stealthy pike all reach impressive speeds through the water when on the search for food. Man-made vehicles such as the submarine, various supersonic aircraft, and cars designed for speed all operate in accordance with a similar and fundamental principle. It is not bulk that propels an object forward to its potential, but rather it is an aero-dynamism and optimum design that is responsible.

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.

Where a business or a corporate enterprise is concerned this in practice means an organization is having to regularly reinvent itself, shedding the dead weight that it periodically acquires and moving ahead with purpose, untroubled by surplus infrastructure or by an unproductive bureaucracy. To achieve this, the organization will normally require expert human resources development and training to enable it to use modern streamlining methods to get the best out of the resources it possesses. A consultancy providing training courses for HR or HR workshops can be worth its weight in gold to an organization needing to transform itself and to be ready to meet tomorrow's challenges today.

The rationale behind shared services is that they should create practical efficiencies as well as cost efficiency. This is so as they will put an end to duplication, repetition, and bureaucracy, as well as hopefully creating economies of scale. It enhances a chain of command that trickle down to less specialized work, enhancing efficiency.

To make it work this process has to operate in tandem with more general efficiency. For instance, outsourcing or outsourcing some of the tasks that do not need to be an integral feature of the core operation. Preparations for such a large but necessary undertaking must inevitably begin with a programme of human resources development.

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.
