Approaches to Employee Development

The many approaches to employee development fall into four broad categories: formal education, assessment, job experiences, and interpersonal relationships. Many organizations combine these approaches (Neo et. al 2016).

a) Formal Education: Organizations may support employee development through a variety of formal educational programs, either at the workplace or off-site. These may include workshops designed specifically for the organization’s employees, short courses offered by consultants or universities (Jacobs and Washington,2010).

b) Assessments: Collecting information and providing feedback to employees about their behavior, communication style, or skills.

c) Job Experience: The combination of relationships, problems, demands, tasks, and other features of an employee’s jobs.

d) Interpersonal Relationship: Employees can also develop skills and increase their knowledge about the organization and its customers by interacting with a more experienced organization member.
