Should Give Training To 'Unconsciously Incompetent' Employees Or Not

Suppose you are an Hr of an company and you have some employees who are 'Unconsciously Incompetent'. Now you have to decide weather you need to go for training for them regarding their performance development or not? The condition is you can't sack(terminate) them.

Your question has its answer ... if you cant sack them .. then train them to become consciously competent !!
However you need to explain the term 'Unconsciously Incompetent' to seek better responses at the forum.

For an HR Manager of an organisation to wilfully label their people as 'unconsciously incompetent' brings the competence of that HR Manager front & centre into the spotlight. I would be questioning their credentials both - as a HR Manager, as well as what qualifies them to denigrate others - before I set off on a wild goose chase.
Because, the unconsciously incompetent cannot put on an act. That is why they are called unconsciously incompetent. Else they would be termed Consciously Incompetent.
So, now, my question is back to the HR Manager - why was their unsuitability for the position not identified at the recruitment stage? Is it because the employees are Consciously Incompetent or the HR Manager is Unconsciously Incompetent?

Hello hrsandipan,
I think Hussain & Gaurav Sareen have raised valid points, that need careful & serious rethinking @ your end.
Coming to the current situation, one way to handle/correct such category of people is to create situations where they 'SEE' for themselves the damage/repercussions of their actions. No amount of 'telling/teaching/training' will help WITHOUT them ACTUALLY observing/seeing the consequences of their 'unthought' actions--since they are more prone to ignore other's advice, however well-meaning/well-intentioned.
In a nutshell, make them 'realize themselves' thru whatever teaching/training you wish to give. Without this aspect embedded into your whole effort, I don't think it will achieve the desired purpose.
All the Best.
Rgds,

thanks to ever one for commenting on that...
Hussain Zulfikar@ 'Unconsciously Incompetent' means who is not able as well as not willing to do anything.
Gaurav Sareen@ many thanks for your comment. you have asked about the HR manager- can't you a situation like that employee is working since so many years and he was doing very well but in last few months somehow he is not doing up to mark.
situation 2: suppose there is a bulk hiring going on say any BPO company as it happens. And the HR manager has taken that candidate for say any Hallo effect of that candidate earlier.
CiteHr Members@ pls consider those situations and pls commnet on that...
