How to Successfully Motivate, Support, and Train Your Employees, 5th Edition 2018. Employee development is an ongoing task for every company. The skills acquired during training are no longer sufficient to sustain an entire career. The constant technological change, the reduced half-life of knowledge, and the current shortage of skilled workers are just a few reasons that compel companies to make greater efforts in qualifying their employees. This book provides solutions for all levels of employee development, from identifying the need for development to transferring newly acquired competencies to the workplace. It extensively covers the selection and design of support and educational measures such as development discussions, coaching, on-the-job training, off-the-job training, as well as newly introduced forms of e-learning.
