How Do MNCs Use Training Programs to Boost Skills in Underperforming Employees?

What are the training and development programs conducted in MNCs? What are the strategies followed before implementing the training programs? Is training beneficial to the organization in the case of inefficient employees to develop their skills?

In multinational corporations (MNCs), training and development programs play a crucial role in enhancing employee skills and performance. Before implementing these programs, organizations typically conduct a thorough needs assessment to identify the specific areas where training is needed. Strategies such as gap analysis, employee surveys, and performance evaluations are commonly used to determine the training requirements.

Training is highly beneficial for organizations dealing with inefficient employees as it provides them with the opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge. By investing in training programs, organizations can help underperforming employees improve their performance, boost their confidence, and contribute more effectively to the company's success.

Overall, training and development programs in MNCs are essential for maintaining a skilled and motivated workforce. By implementing strategic training initiatives, organizations can address skill gaps, improve employee performance, and ultimately drive business growth.

Concerning the issue of inefficiency

Have you studied the causes of his/her inefficiency? How long has the person been in this job? Has the person's department or section changed recently? Is the inefficiency of the employee more of a recruitment problem than a training problem? What is the role of the Head of Department (HOD) in improving the performance of the employee? Does he/she spend extra time with the inefficient employee? Has feedback been given regarding the underperformance of the employee? Has he/she been encouraged to engage in self-learning? Does this person have an above-average IQ?

There are several questions associated with your post. Please provide further clarification.

Dear Aswini, my answer is yes, but it is a scientific process. The first thing is to consider how long the employee has been working, any abnormal changes in the process, and any automation, etc. Did the HOD/immediate superior suggest any Performance Improvement Plan in the context of his/her low performance?

The training process should enhance the knowledge levels of the employee, thus increasing productivity and resulting in profit growth. Additionally, with training support, the employee can also experience career growth. It is a win-win situation for both the employee and the organization if the training process is perfectly scheduled and executed.

Thanks,

Training and Development Practices in MNCs

Each multinational corporation (MNC) has different practices for providing training and development. For example, some may concentrate on training related to safety concerns, while others may focus on enabling employees to work in all departments of the company to gain a comprehensive understanding of company processes and strategies. Some companies offer theoretical classes and monitor employees' performance by conducting exams and tests.

Addressing Employee Inefficiency

Regarding your query, a company hires employees who are efficient enough to meet the expectations of the company's needs and wants. However, what can make employees inefficient is their environment, organizational culture, and doing the same job throughout the day. Therefore, the reason for their inefficiency must be identified. It is essential to mentor the employee and focus on that particular individual by discussing their problems and needs. This approach can help determine what can be done to make them work in a satisfactory manner.
