We as a human must think that the learning is very important  because it is for upgrade the skill and knowledge to perform the work effectively. Lifelong learning means the person that learns in order to increase their personal development, either in work or not, covering formal or informal activities in which learning takes place in continuous of time.

The development of employees is emphasizing on individual’s skill, knowledge and attitude (KSA) and motivation for example the increase KSA of the traditional industries to the new technologies that emerged. Besides, the changes in the work in the organization will happen for example from old responsibility to a new responsibility.

Based my understanding web-based employee learning can be say that as electronic learning or e-learning. E-learning means that the learning activity that conducted by internet or by information and communication technologies or ICTs. The learning takes place either by individual or group by through channels online which is the materials are delivered to the learners. Besides, the learning is in easy way and short time.

In my opinion, this system is seen as the good medium to the employees in order to increase the learning and development. Therefore, the productivity of the organization would increases as well as the goals of the organization able to achieve. Besides, the employees would set their objectives align with the organization’s objectives in their career development. So, they will give full of the commitment to the duty and organization and will perform effectively.

Organization such as Hewlett-Packard (HP), Wells Fargo, and VISA International provide access to the web in order to improve their bottom line by reducing turnover costs, retaining talented workers, helping ease employees through merger transitions, and increasing the workforce productivity and morale.

This system gives flexibility of employee to access the web through the Internet at their places for purpose to update the information, to know the details of the organization. We as an employee must able to update the information because it is important for us to ensure the level our career for in case either we should to attend the training program to increase our skill.

In the conclusion, as the employers, they must be allow the employees learn in order to increase the skill so that they able to achieve the organization’s goal. In each organization must provide the learning and development and ensure that every employee get their chances.
