About the Curator
Tan Teng Teng has been researching and curating exhibitions on various facets of Singapore history for more than two decades. Her interest in toponymics was sparked by H.T. Haughton’s article, “Native Names of Streets in Singapore” (1891) that she stumbled upon in 1991, a good 100 years after the article was published.

The training and development function is an important part of human capital management. Starting from recruitment, training needs may exist as employees are expected to deliver performance based on established goals and standards. Without an established procedure, organisations may risk not intervening with appropriate actions to close performance gaps.

Even as employees are sent for training, organisations need to justify that training is the correct solution to the performance problem such that the training investment is worthwhile. On a longer term, employee development activities will benefit the organisation as it will be better able to retain competent employees with an established career path.

This course aims to share with participants the necessary policy and procedure, tools and techniques to set up this empowering function within human capital management.

Objectives
After the two-day workshop, participants will be able to:

- articulate the connection between training/development process and the other
- human capital management functions
- differentiate the types of training needs
- develop a competency matrix/dictionary
- establish the procedure of training needs data collection
- verify training as solution to performance gaps
- establish a employee development framework
- evaluate training programmes based on the Kirkpatrick model

Outline

Overview of training and development process
- purpose of training and development
- policies and procedures

Training Needs Analysis
- organisational training needs
- employee category training needs
- job level training needs

Developing Competency Matrix / Dictionary
- uses of a competency matrix
- process of developing a competency matrix

Performance Gap Analysis
- Mager's performance gap analysis flowchart
- non-training solutions
- data collection and compilation

Employee Development
- identifying employee potential
- building a development track
- criteria for promotion

Evaluation
- Kirkpartick's Four Levels of Evaluation
- forms and process

Methodology
Participants are guided through practical steps of the topic with a combination of lectures, case studies and group discussions.

For Whom
HR practitioners, line managers, executives and supervisors who need to plan and develop HR training and development process at the workplace.
