Question 1:
Developing employees is different than training employees,
though human resource functions often tend to group these
activities together. Training and development are not always
mutually exclusive, though they do have a different focus.
Though training programs tend to be focused on improving
employee performance in a current job, they may also be
preparing employees for future assignments/jobs. In your own
words, describe and
provide at least one example
of each of the following:
a) the difference between employee development and training
programs;
b) how training programs can be used to support employee
development;
c) how training and development support career planning.
Question 2:
A) Imagine that you are preparing for your first performance
feedback session with your employee. You want the session to

4. be effective for the employee, so he/she will have the
motivation and knowledge to improve performance. You also
want to provide a valid, accurate evaluation of the employee’s
performance. What are the steps that you would take to prepare
for the session? What sources of data would you consider? Be
specific and complete...I am looking for a detailed plan and not
just a couple of quick sentences.
B) Assume the role of the employee. How would you need to
prepare for your performance evaluation meeting?
Question 3:
A) Define and discuss in detail the two types of sexual
harassment found in the workplace. Your answer should include
the actions employers can take to create a legal defense and the
actions a person subject to this type of treatment or who
witnesses these actions can take.
B) Evaluate the sexual harassment policies of your organization
and the role of the human resource manager. How were they
communicated? How were employees trained? Discuss three
ideas to improve effectiveness in reducing cases of sexual
harassment.
