in the working model of the organization. The training module has to be designed

as per the individual contribution of employees and the skill sets involved.

approach required to reach perfection for the organizational goals. It can include

behavioral or soft skills training as well based on the requirements of the work

culture. Including interpersonal skills in the training module is an important

aspect if the employees are in direct interaction with the clients or the end users.

also increases the team building attitude because these modules encompass both

theoretical as well as activity based learning sessions. All training modules have a

test designed to judge the adaptability and understanding of all the employees at

corporate training module involves close coordination of the HR team, the trainer

and the employees. All the three need to be in sync and close coordination for a

corporate training program to be successful. First and foremost a defined goal or

purpose for both the employees and the team needs to be decided. An unclear

goal or agenda will result in a lack of focus and a low level of engagement and

commitment towards the underlying reason for the training module. With the

alignment in the thought process and a clear roadmap of the training module the

skill sets and productivity level of the employees can be enhanced therefore

improving the individual and team performances.
