Web Based ELD

WEB BASED EMPLOYEE LEARNING and DEVELOPMENT.

Web Based Employee Learning and Development (ELD) are outputs that produce from the rapid changes of technology, which makes the employer using the web based for their employee KSAs’ improvement and development. In this online system employer can plan, recommend and observe suitable employees’ training program, provide learning programs and analyze employee career development by employee performance evaluation and assessment.  Meanwhile, for employee, it can help to keeping record and updating all related learning and training information, can access to their performance appraisal and personal detail, available training course and more. It is important to employee to understand and know the related information such as new technology in organization, culture or new changes in management, so they can enhance and improve their performance for future career. This web based also known as “e-learning” and related to training for employee development. The purpose of this system is to help and improve employees’ knowledge, skills and attitudes to become more competitive and advance by providing them with online learning and training courses. This is also can help the organization become more productive and systematic.   

From my reading, there are five components in ELD System consists of employee personal information, performance before training, training courses, training transfer and program evaluation. The advantages from implementing this system are cost effectively and accessibility because overall employee training information was recorded in ELD System. Second, helps to empowerment and facilitation using the record and can be access or administrate easily by the administrator. Lastly, can improved computer skills because both employer and employee will use the computer application to participate in the process of learning and development. On the other hand, the disadvantages of the system is certain learning contents not suitable for employee because of individual differences KSAs or differences in learning style for each individual. Second, employee need to master the computer skills to avoid having some difficulty using this online application. Lastly, lack of human contact because the system use online approach and people do not interact, communicate and face-to face to each other, which can cause misunderstanding or lack of information.,

Because of the system require a lot of cost, time, energy and guide from expert, some organization refuse to apply this system. However, for my opinion, it worthy to organization to invest in the ELD System, so they will have caliber and competent employee that can contribute and increase organization productivity.
