Employee Education Program - Are They Beneficial For Employees

Hi CiteHRs,
Our VP has informed me to arrange for Employee Education Programs for employees of our organization, I have searched on net and found following institutes providing EEP,
1. Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA)
2. Indian School of Business
3. Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore
4. Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata
4. Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies
5. Harvard Business School IRC
I would like to know, if any HR manager has gone through such programs and how much beneficial they are for employees with respect to the fees, is there any other programs that we can think of?
Please reply at the earliest.

Yeah such educational programmes do really benefit the employees because once employee joins a job he is unable to continue education, so when employer provides such programs , it is always better to ask employee to contribute 25% of the fees so that employee too takes interest and company can leave that employee early, for evening classes or as per the schedule of program

Dear Deadsoul,
Thanks for your reply,
But this is not related with education of any particular employee, this is where your organization has to enroll with IIM institutes/Business Institutes for courses of 2-5 days or maybe of some more days and has to pay around 4L to 5L for education of bulk employees.
Which includes their stay, food etc etc..
I wanted to know,
1. Any more institutes in India, other than those which are mentioned above
2. Is it worth paying that much amount for such courses.
Also please check the attachment as well to get the better idea.
Pro's Waiting for your reply..

Dear Amol,

These executive coaching programmes or MDPs are good no doubt however, it has its flip side too. One is that these are expensive. Secondly, expenses apart, since these are syndicate programmes, they do not customise to particular industry far from customisation to your company. Now when your executives take these MDPs, on completion of these courses, they need to go back and find out what is required exactly for your company and create a action plan for the change.

How many executives have time and patience to do this? How many executives have really brought change in their company after attending the seminars or MDPs of this kind? Therefore, the education remains restricted to the nominated executive only.

Against this backdrop, I recommend you telling to your VP to go for Leadership Development Programme (LDP) that lasts for 2-3 years. In these 2-3 years training is imparted for every quarter.

If you adopt this method, you will have benefit of customised programme and strict monitoring on whether the learning is implemented or not. Above all, the learning is quite cost-effective also.

Though I write this, I do not rule out importance of MDPs per se. These MDPs may be reserved for top performers and you may recommend them as a reward to their performance.

I have a plan for the LDP. If you wish to hire my services, you can do so. As of now, to make you aware of my services, I have attached my Training e-brochure to this post. Please talk to your VP and contact me.

Thanks,

Dear Amol,
Probably what I wanted to say that I did not put across properly. I suggest you calling me on my mobile No. I will clarify what I would like to say.
Thanks,

Dear Mr. Amol
Its always beneficial, but see to that, employees opting for such educational programs, do commit to serve your organisation for longer period, as there are cases where employees had joined other organisations, the moment they add certifications/qualifications to their profile...ITS THE FACT.
With profound regards

Dear Mr. Amol,
It is indeed an appreciable initiative by your VP.
You could also opt for online courses as well. pl also go thru the site:
Free Online Courses, Workplace Skills Training, Interactive Education and Multimedia Learning | ALISON
hope it would also be of some help.
Thanks & regards,
Vijaya

dear amol_humane
It is good that the top management hv such ideas. so implement the same, it certtianly is useful both for the employee and for the management. It is a training and development activity.
one or two suggestions;
- accrding to me, nothing should be free, but this can be highly subsidized ( that is 75%:25%)(75% to the company) then the employee will also b serious.
- take some kind of underatking that such employee will serve the organisation for a certian period of time say 5 years, otherwise he will reimburse the amount.
- check his progress during the study
