DQ2 Identify employee skills gaps based on performance, and have resources available to support training goals, including those associated with succession planning HRM  635 Topic 4 DQ 1

 

Prior to developing your training programs, you must analyze your organizational needs, identify employee skills gaps based on performance, and have resources available to support training goals, including those associated with succession planning. These constitute learning conditions to ensure training programs have purpose and alignment to organizational goals. Thinking about the learning conditions described, what do you think is most necessary for learning to occur in your current organization? Assume your organization has the readiness for learning, recommend at least one training program your organization would benefit from implementing. Explain why.

Orientation and training are essential for oncoming applicant because it gives them an introduction on policies and procedures and how the organization runs. Employee orientation supplies new employees with the basic background information required to perform the job successfully. Employee orientation is an official welcome to the new employee as part of the team. (Dessler, 2019).  Orientation is the begging of familiarizing yourself to an organization and it is pivotal in my opinion because without the proper training, an employee may fall behind. If an employee is matched with a preceptor that has a different teaching methods, it is important that the orientee is able to speak their mind or ask for help when they thin they are not following up. The lack of training and development for new hires can have a negative effect on the organization’s profitability, rate of turnover, and relationship with consumers (Shift, 2020).

From a personal experience I went to ICU, and was paired with a preceptor who constantly made me second guess myself and question my skills. I reached out to my manager and she also sided with my preceptor and compared my work to V-Fib, meaning that some days I would do way better than others. No matter how much I asked for reinforcement and more insight, I got vague answers as to be proactive. I essentially lost my position to a new manager who did not want any mishaps on the unit. That organization felt in my opinion was very harsh and my dream hospital turned out to be the place I wanted to escape from. Orientation helps reduce stressors to ensure employee commitment, satisfaction, and well-being (Raub et al., 2021). Employee orientation can allow new employees to handle competing work demands and increase interpersonal compatibility (Raub et al., 2021). This is important because training is suppose to leave you feeling confident and competent, without this, an organizations turn over would be very quick, My organization would benefit from having a training for charge nurses and how to be fair and effective leaders especially on shifts such as evenings or nights because most of the time, we are left to ourselves to manage the desk and it would be helpful to have insight on how to effectively lead and manage staff/ traumas/ emergencies efficiently with gentle feedback from management so that communication can be tightened as well.
