BLOG 1 : Web Based Employee Learning And Development

       From what have I learnt, Employee Learning and Development (ELD) system is a system that organization can used to plan and observe the employee training, career development and also employee’s performance.   This system also can be use to analyze the employee development, it can recommend a training program and periodic performance appraisal for staff and finally this system will help the management to analyze the present program that is succeed.  Colin, (2003) stated that ELD as using some form of technology to deliver training and other education materials.  This system of ELD also as a tool to the employee to make their own decision on what they are going to learn. This web based application also is the suitable system to ensure that employees accept the training they need. Web based of ELD can be used to provide the required information without the face to face interaction that will be useful in the learning and development process.

The ELD system consists of five components and each component has their own important function. The components are employee personal information, performance before training, training course, training transfer and program evaluation.  The purpose of this system is to improve, correct, and increase employee’s knowledge, skills and attitudes towards their current work in order to preparing the employees with the better future work.  In addition this system also can help the employees to manage their stress due to work overload so that they can keep on competitiveness and will perform much better in their work.

For me, the LED system is a very effective system to keep and record all the information about employees training such as employee information system, employee performance before training, training course, transfer of training and also program evaluations.  This system can help the employees and management to retrieve all the training information needed in just a second.

And of course, every system has its own advantages and disadvantages.  The main advantages of this system are its cost effective and accessibility by both employee and organization.  This system can show the employee their level of knowledge, skills and attitudes so they can make an improvement on their job.  In addition, this system can help the employee to improve their computer skills. However, certain contents in this system are not suitable to employees because not all the employees have the same problem, furthermore they need to know the basic computer skill if not it’s pointless to have the system.
