Here is me introducing to you my mini weekly learning series on speaking fluent English. This is my first version that I actually used in my train the trainer certification evaluation. As a Workplace Trainer cum Training Executive cum HR Generalist, I am expected to analyze, plan and execute training road-map for year twenty sixteen..well every year technically.
Before I jump into the juicy details of my English program, let me share with you a little something that I do at Penchem Technologies as a HR/Training Executive. The first and foremost thing that any organization need is a game plan to ensure employees hired a very well equipped with a set of competencies that are required to perform current job and future expansions. These competencies can than be broken down in to several categories than clustered into pillars.
A good competency model will and should cover competencies required by the organization, moving down to functional level and a good set of leadership competencies to grow both employee's expertise and address organization/job requirements.
The above framework is derived form Schoonover Associate - Competency Framework.
Always understand the whole organization needs prior to building up any model. The next step that needs to be done is clustering all these needs and requirements into several pillars.
Here comes the HOW(s) .... :
Step 1 :
Conduct an analysis to understand organization, functional and leaderships needs
Step 2 :
Map & tabulate the findings into a flexible matrix that can grow, flex and shrink as needed by the organization and job functions
Step 3:
Bridge the gaps addressed in the matrix and build individual development plan for each employee
Now the WHY(s)
Competency/Skill Matrix is a powerful and a versatile tool. It can be used as a self development plan to bridge skill gaps for current and future job needs and some organization even uses individual competency matrix as an assessment tool during Performance Appraisal (PA).
Post analysis, comes the annual training road-map planning. Since we have just deployed an up and running competency framework at my workplace, I am now swamped with not only planning but also designing and delivering in-house training to full-fill our core competencies. I must say that these processes are adapted from my learnings and experiences gained in my former company. Happy to know that my learnings are put to good use in an organization that well deserves it.
Communication is my forte and I have never gotten bored teaching English for all types of learners. So here I am sharing with you, my learning series that I am about to introduce after Chinese New Year at my workplace. This is the first module in the spoken English series, the program is aimed to enable the participants to communicate clearly and effectively in English.
The End
