Web-Based Employee Learning and Development

Employee learning and development (ELD) in HRIS is means the employee’s access to the sophisticated, flexible and effective HRIS application. ELD is a collective progress that supports organizational goals (Harrison, 2005 ).

In this topic, I learnt about the purpose of web based ELD which are: 

1.      Improve employee performance

Employee can learn and develop themselves by web-based ELD where they can access and improve their needs. For example is E-Learning and online training prograns which is easy and quick way to gain information.

2.      Development programs

Web based development program is conduct to prepare and secure long term employees’ development and performance. For example, online course development available is identifying the employees’ need and improves it for future work.

3.      Employee competitiveness

All employees’ have access to web-based ELD and it will provide competition among workers. This competitiveness will encourage high level performance in doing task.

4.      Minimize stress

Online learning is easy and quick which prevent work overload. This can reduce stress and physiology effect among employees.

I also have understood about 5 components of ELD systems which are:

1.      Employee personal information 
     The component involves the details of employees such as their identification, their background and position in the organization.

2.      Performance before training 
     This component involves Key Performance Index (KPI) which uses to measure the organization progress toward their objectives and goals.

3.      Training course

This component involves the development plan which comprises the details such as modules and training method.

4.      Training transfer

This component explains how the development occurs and links or channel used. The development is transfer through skill training and forum activity.

5.      Program evaluation

This component involves the details of evaluation such as the evaluator, the methods use and the outcome which determine by pre-test and post-test.

At the end of the topic, I analyze the benefits and weakness of this ELD system. Benefits of ELD System are:

1.      Cost effective

The web based learning is less expensive where employee learns information manual and at any time they want.

2.      IT skill

The ELD system improves the employee employees’ computer skill.

Weakness of ELD system.

1.      Skill restriction

Employee without computer skill will have difficulty to access the system.

2.      No social interaction

The system delivers only using computer and there is no one to ask if the employee have any question.
