Web Based Employee Learning and Development

The definition of development is a continuous process of systematic advancement, of “becoming increasingly more complex, more elaborate and differentiated, by virtue of learning and maturation”. In an organization concept, development is ensuring that employees possess the Knowledge, Skills, and Ability (KSA) required fulfilling future roles in the organization. While, learning is the process of assimilating new knowledge and skills in consequence of experience or practice that will bring about relatively permanent changes in behavior. Learning and development of employees is also known as the training and development of employees. It is related to the field of organizational activity aimed at raising efforts as well as individual and group performance in the work environment.

            Web based employee learning and development is a system that have been used as a method        to make the manual learning and development of worker easier. It is also one of the many technology-mediated learning and development applications being practiced. Programs through CD-ROM and computer-based training are more familiar with trainers and developers.  To effectively manage web-based learning and development managers need to look at different aspects.  These areas include the design, training, development, and implementation skills. Employee learning and development (ELD) system is using for plan and observe the employee training, career development and the employee’s performance. From that, manager can know or can identify what training and development that their employees needs.  Next is can analyze the employee career development. When using this system, managers can see the potential or the progress of their workers during they do their work. So, from that, managers can create the new job or give them appraisal such as promote them, give extra bonus and so on for potential worker. It’s can automatically increase the loyalty among the workers. Other than that, ELD also can analyze the present program that is succeeded. Using this system, organization can observed whether the learning or training they served for their employees is succeeded or failed. When the training is succeeding, employees can used the knowledge from that learning to improved their performance and development.

            One of the advantages using this system is interactive. This is because, employees can explore themselves about their training and development and  this system is full with colors and abstract that can attract employees to know about this system. While, one of disadvantages is software updates may be very costly. This is because organization needs excellent software to do their work effectively.
