Dear All,
I’m new to the forum and I would really appreciate if you can provide me additional insights and information regarding the Training and Development function. :)
I’m currently working for an Architecture company which has been in existence for 9 years and it is only now that we are starting to reorganize and formalize the HR procedures. I am an Accountant by profession. Since I often get positions in Payroll Accounting, I had the opportunity to communicate with people at all levels of the organization because payroll section mostly deals with compensation and benefits. Part of my work is also the responsibility of doing the last interview, the final stage of recruitment, since it involves the salary negotiation.
Now that we are reorganizing, I was offered to handle the Training and Development function. I accepted the offer because this would be a new challenge for me. My superiors are aware of the fact that I have no formal experience in this function and they assured me that they will support me to set-up the training section . The only formal presentation I have done is the orientation to newly hired employees regarding company policies and procedures.
I’ve read somewhere in this site that there are no formal education for the training and development function but the fact is, this is acquired thru experience. I’ve been researching thru the internet for materials and also in bookstores. I have also tried attending training seminars. I have tried to contact training organizations for the possibility of conducting an in-house training as a kick-off in launching this section in our company but they’re just very expensive. My problem is how to go about this function, where do I start? I would really appreciate your viewpoints. Thanks so much guys.
