It is a topic PNN Soft speech made in IT-Expo 2011 conference.
Journalist of “IT-M” magazine” interviewed a speaker of PNN Soft - Alexandra Golubeva.
Alexandra, tell us please, is there a real importance in staff training and who is supposed to be responsible for it?
Well, we’ve made a research while preparing for IT-Expo 2011 conference. It shows that people, brought up in post-Soviet Union culture think that their employers are supposed to give them all necessary knowledge and skills they might need to carry out their work. A system of kindergartens, a system of school education, as well as universities, do not give people a freedom to choose what skills they would rather be taught. It is a habit for post-Soviet Union people not to decide for themselves. The education system forms the reality for it’s wards, people transfer, such relation on their job as well.
Therefore, responsibility for development of high-skilled professionals wholly and fully is “de facto” on employers. There is a need to give specialization to people with a high education. Elsewise, companies will fight for qualified professionals, severely overpaying them.
The fluctuation of personnel is rather high nowadays. Taking into consideration this fact, what measures will give us the successful staff training?
It-technologies come to assist. For example, the ProTOS – is an IT-solution that can help in this case. It is a way to automatize the staff training and testing. The ProTOS – is an e-learning done turnkey. It gives the opportunity to settle an automatically teaching course for one employee or a group of employees. It informs a training-manager about the testing results of employees. Also it helps to notify employees what courses and when they are ought to go through.
Which factors influence on implementing the ProTOS? The most frequent motivations for implementing such solutions are these very reasons:
- To investiture in duties of a new employee or a group of employees;
- a need of raising the level of one's skills;
- a wish to create an own commercial on-line courses with technologies support.
Don’t you think that e-learning is boring, because the teacher is not a person but a computer?
E-learning can be very enthralling and comfortable! For example, e-learning can be made as an scintillating computer game for a trainee. A competition between departments of one’s company and a system of awarding the best departments became a great goal for the trainees. It also can be used as an instrument for developing the corporate culture.
What benefits your customers will achieve if they apply the ProTOS? First of all, it is a high-quality technique of learning and achieving necessary skills and specializations.
Secondary, our customer won’t be under an obligation to bring people from different regions of a country to train them. No tiresome journeys and spending related. Neither HR’s, nor trainers need to keep in mind all the information regarding the training process. The ProTOS will cope with it.
Thirdly, our customer has to buy only a program and use it to train as many employers as needed, which is very effective financially if there is a high fluctuation of personnel.
Moreover, our company strongly guarantees our customer’s intellectual capital protection.
