The Innovative Technologies in the Organizational Training of Staff of Modern-Time Organizations

Abstract

The article is concerned with reviewing the innovative technologies of informal training at modern-time organizations. In the information age, new opportunities are emerging in the management of human resources, prompting organizations to rethink traditional patterns of organizational training, in particular to change the balance between formal and informal training. The potential of informal training is still underestimated by domestic companies. This article analyzes the new possibilities of informal organizational training related to the use of innovative personalized and e-training technologies. The benefits of informal training are determined and compared to traditional formal training methods, which enable organizations to efficiently build up their knowledge in view of a tight budget. With the growing need for organizational training, there is a significant diversification of informal training technologies, and their arsenal is constantly growing with the emergence of both new personalized training technologies and the e-training instruments. Existing informal training technologies are suggested to be systematized as depending upon: 1) the way the participants in the training process are connected (according to the principle of «teacher – pupil» subordination or partnership); 2) the way of communication between subjects of training (personalized or electronic communications). A general characterization of the informal training technologies is provided; special attention is paid to innovative technologies that have not been spread in Ukraine. Prospects for their use in domestic organizations are considered.
