subject: Absence Management Training [print this page] The central and various state governments of India are strong on skill upgradation programs - Because it has been assessed that skill development is a precursor to economic growth. Every scheme is aimed at empowering individuals through updated skills, to help them gain access to employment and opportunities and become better in reaching the quality of life they wish for. As more and more jobs are being created, with the growing demands in retail and other sectors, the job skills that may be required to fit into these either require a complete revamp or honing. Training for these target skills has gained utmost importance. But what about the private sector? Can a Small and Medium Enterprise invest in full-fledged skill development programs for their people? Can they ignore the need and turn a blind eye to training? They can"t. But it may not make sense for them to invest in in-house training teams too. The best remedy would be to outsource their learning and development needs.
Your organization"s Learning and Development initiatives must cover training in technologies, domains, leadership, behavior, communication skills, and personal enhancement. Organizations like TalentPro train not only employability skills to new entrants and young people entering the job fray, but also provide training of functional skills to the current generation of work force. Talentpro is one of the few organizations that can scale up the demand for training by addressing all the associated needs for content, uniform skill assessment practices and executing learning management systems that can drive organizational excellence. TalentPro can help your employees reach their full potential and give their best, giving them the confidence to take on fresh challenges in the ever changing world market.
For instance your line managers must be trained on the best practices to manage absence "" This is a topic that requires discussion of many case studies and on-the-job discussions, real-life examples.
Line managers often lack the skills or are not equipped to have sensitive conversations with team members. Training line managers will give them the poise and finesse to tackle non-attendance proactively. They will also be able to understand initiatives that may contradict employment law. Making line managers develop an understanding of the organization's absence policies and procedures, on how to seek help and guidance from HR and occupational health and understanding why absence matters to the enterprise can help them contribute to significant reductions in the absence rates of their team members.
And all of this is a specialist"s job.
So the next time, your people are not able to handle an organizational challenge, then it is time to take a look at investing in learning and development initiatives - Because failure to do so will bring down your productivity, even in the short run.
