Conceptual model of workplace training and learning strategies to shorten time-to-proficiency in complex skills: preliminary findings

Abstract

The race among global firms to launch their respective products and services into the market sooner than the competitors creates pressure to equip employees with job related skills at the pace of business. Traditional training models used by some organizations result in a very slow speed at which employees gain an acceptable level of proficiency in the targeted job skills. The authors argue that business organizations need to explore new training models and strategies that could reduce the time an employee takes to reach target proficiency in complex skills without compromising effectiveness or outcome. A comprehensive review of the literature shows a very limited amount of academic or practitioner research on this topic. This doctorate research study aims to find various training strategies that have proven successful in organizations for accelerating proficiency of employees in complex job skills.
