Training is an important aspect of the HR world. Many are under the impression that training is only important to new recruits and junior-level staff, but it is not the case. Training is important for senior staff as well. This is mainly because technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and as a result, jobs are been redesigned, processes have been changed and systems are changed. Therefore employees need to be trained in order to adapt to these changes. Hence helping them to develop new skills and enhance their existing skills.
In regards to training, the most common issue is that companies do not have a proper mechanism other than email to identify the participants, identify the proper ratings provided by the participants and the trainer, and identify the mode of delivery. OrangeHRM's training session’ has all these functions and many more useful features as well. All these facilities provided by this feature help to develop an analysis and come to a conclusion as to what sort of training the employees actually require.
