CREATIVITY TRAININGCREATIVITY TRAINING



Training: It is the process of learning for improvingknowledge, attitudes and skills.

Training is the most important period where the employerevaluates the attitude of the recruited employees in thecompany in career development in the company.

Here the employers meet the new employees givingtraining to them and moulding them according to theenvironment of the company.



It is a opportunity to the employer to meet the

employees and training according to their mentalability to understand. But the question in the entire

HR managers mind is How is it possible to train

candidates more effectively to increase the

productivity.



THE TRAINING PROCESS:

Four of these steps are mutually necessary for any training program to be effective andefficient.

STEP 1: ESTABLISHING A NEEDS ANALYSIS.

The objective in establishing a needs analysis is to find outthe answers to the following questions:

- Why is training needed?- What type of training is needed?

- When is the training needed?- Where is the training needed?

- Who needs the training? and "Who" will conduct thetraining?- How will the training be performed?



By determining training needs, an organization can decide what specificknowledge, skills, and attitudes are needed to improve the employeesperformance in accordance with the companys standards.

STEP 2: DEVELOPING TRAINING PROGRAMS AND MANUALS.

This step establishes the development of current job descriptions and standardsand procedures. This will standardize the necessary guidelines for any futuretraining.

STEP 3: DELIVER THE TRAINING PROGRAM:

This step is responsible for the instruction and delivery of the training program.Once we have designated our trainers, the training technique must be decided.One-on-one training, on-the-job training, group training, seminars, andworkshops are the most popular methods. The trainer should have:

- A desire to teach the subject being taught.

- A working knowledge of the subject being taught.

- An ability to motivate participants to want to learn

- A good sense of humor.



A dynamic appearance and good posture.

- A strong passion for their topic.

- A strong compassion towards their participants.

- Appropriate audio/visual equipment to enhance the training session.

STEP 4: EVALUATE THE TRAINING PROGRAM

This step will determine how effective and profitable your trainingprogram has been. Methods for evaluation are pre-and post- surveys of customer comments cards, the establishment of a cost/benefit analysisoutlining your expenses and returns, and an increase in customersatisfaction and profits.

The evaluation of training programs are without a doubt the mostimportant step in the training process. It is this step that will indicate theeffectiveness of both the training as well as the trainer.

The importance of the evaluation process after the training is critical.Without it, the trainer does not have a true indication of theeffectiveness of the training

Getting employees to think in new ways takes a lot of time andeffort--and determination--from management.

Creativity can be learned, but it often requires training. But just as thereare tools to train sales and management staffs, there are many practicaltools and proven methods for nurturing creativity.

Creativity can't be simply another office task.

Develop entertaining procedures for engaging people in the process andmake it fun.

A program called "Plant-a-Seed" that encourages employees to submitwritten ideas for improving the company.

Once a month, a group of managers evaluates the ideas and movesforward on those with potential. Those ideas that are chosen arepublicized, and the responsible individual receives a bonus.

Another approach is to include employees from all levels of the companyin brainstorming sessions, and to mix people from differentdepartments.
