Corporate training for employees is now such a crucial part of any business, that newer employment development programmes are being developed. Some methods have been suggested by a management consulting publication to improve the same. Managers’ passions must get ignited so that the same reflects when they impart the training. The shelf life of learning and development modules is not very long and this needs to be well understood. Employees must get a sense of belonging and commitment to their own careers’ developmental aspects. Similarly trust must be woven towards the top management. The learning options provided must involve flexibility. Learning needs of virtual teams must be incorporated in the planning. Management training programmes must also be custom designed keeping in mind the various employee personas.
