WEB-BASED TECHNOLOGY AND EMPLOYEE LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT (ELD)

Actually, a strategic approach to human resource development is necessary to address these business challenges ( Tannenabum, 2002). The application of Web-based technology and training and development in particular requires a framework to ensure that the learning tool is targeting result that aligned with the organization’s strategy.           

            Web-based technology have given training and development organization an opportunity to create powerful learning experiences that employees can utilize to better accomplish their objectives. The role of the Employee Learning and Development team (ELD system) in organization is to promote and support employee and organizational growth, development and empowerment by providing innovative, quality workplace learning programs, resources and services. Meaning that, the ELD system plan role of plan and observe the employee training, career development and the employee’s performance. So, through the internet, it can cater to various individual or cultural leaning style and that learning include with study of background information, viewing of diagram or image, and interactive “leaning by doing” to enhance learning and employee development.

            The word of training, learning, employee development and performance is the main issue of concern in the organization especially among managers. It is because, that issue becomes effect term of employee satisfaction, employee commitment, productivity organization and so on. So, with ELD system, manager become easy to arrange their all this thing because this system able to function same like manual programs but more efficient and fasters.

            What I understand, this system help and encourage manager to create the system that could generates of several of report performance, and plan any training and development planning with using the web rather than traditional ways. The purposes of the take the performance report are to improve, give feedback and comment from upper manager, peer, and customer an employee performance. Besides, the implement of training course to educated employee how to improve their learning skill via the computer. Other than that, training course also available easily updated by organization and do not keep report by manually system.

For the employee development, this program can increase employee’s knowledge, skill and attitude to preparing of employee self with the better future work. The entire Organization planning program also can appear that the employee can keep on competitiveness among the peer in the organization and employee itself will perform in their work on an organization.

            As conclusion, implement of the system can help make the process easier to implement, facilitate timely information sharing, and enabling a consistent coordination between elements and the organization.
