What is Training?
Training is a systematic process through
which an organization’s human resources
gain knowledge and develop skills by
instruction and practical activities that
result in improved corporate
performance.
Training - a planned effort by a
company to facilitate employees’ learning
of job-related competencies.
Competencies include knowledge, skills or
behavior critical for successful job
performance.
The goal of training is for employees to
master the competencies and apply them
to their day-to-day activities.

What is Training? (cont.)
To use training to gain a competitive
advantage, a company should view
training broadly as a way to create
intellectual capital.
Training is an Intellectual Capital that is
concerned with basic skills advanced
skills an understanding of the customer
or manufacturing system, and self-
motivated creativity.
Summary of the Definition
 Training is a systematic process & a planned
effort;
 Through which an organization’s human resources
gain knowledge and develop skills;
 Purpose is to master the competencies and apply
them to their day-to-day activities;
 Training is used to gain a competitive advantage;
 A company should view training as a way to
create intellectual capital;
 It improves corporate performance.
High-leverage training is linked to strategic
business goals and objectives;
It uses an instructional design process to
ensure that training is effective;
It compares or benchmarks the company's
training programs against training programs
of other companies;
It creates working conditions that encourage
continuous learning.
High-Leverage Training
Continuous learning requires
employees to understand the entire
work system, including the
relationships among their jobs, their
work units, and the company as
well.
Continuous learning
Managers take an active role in:
Identifying training needs;
Ensuring that employees use training in
their work;
Facilitating the sharing of knowledge, by
using informational maps. Information
Mapping offers classroom training as well as
self-paced and instructor-led e-learning
programs.
Role of Managers in Training
Today, training is being evaluated on
how training addresses business needs
related to learning, behavior change,
and performance improvement.
Use of Training Today
There is a greater emphasis on:
Providing educational opportunities for all
employees;
Performance improvement as an ongoing
process than a one-time training event;
Demonstrating to executives, managers, and
trainees the benefits of training;
Learning as a lifelong event;
Training being used to help attain strategic
business objectives.
Emphasis of the Company

Training and Development -
Difference
 Training
 The acquisition of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSA), to
improve performance on one’s current job.
Usually consists of short-term focus on acquiring skills to
perform one’s job
employees to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes
required to carry out the work needed to meet an
organization’s objectives.
 Development
 The acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA), required
to perform one’s future job responsibilities and for the long-
term achievement of individual career goals and organizational
objectives.
 The goal is to prepare employees for managerial careers.
 Improving an individual in line with the requirements of that
individual.
Training, & Development –
Difference, Contd.,
Training refers to educating technical and
operational employees in how to better do
their current jobs
Short-Term skills oriented
Development refers to educating
professionals and managers in the skills they
need to do their jobs in the future
Long-Term career oriented
Training, Education &
Development - Differences
Training is short term, task oriented
and targeted on achieving a change of
attitude, skills and knowledge in a
specific area. It is usually job related.
Development is a long term investment
in human resources.
Education is a lifetime investment. It
tends to be initiated by a person in the
area of his/her interest.
Importance of Training
Helps in maintaining high quality products
/services;
Achieves high service standards;
Provides information for new comers;
Refreshes memory of old employees;
Achieves learning about new things,
technology, products / services delivery
Reduces mistakes - minimizing costs;
Opportunity for staff to feedback / suggest
improvements;
Improves communication & relationships -
better teamwork.

What Managers Should Do to
Support Training
The ASK Concept
 If we follow the GAP concept, training
is simply a means to use activities to
fill the gaps of performance between
the actual results and the expected
results.
 This GAP can be separated into 3
main themes -
1.Attitude
2.Skills
3.Knowledge
Exercise
Rank ASK by difficulty to develop in people.
Attitude
Skills
Knowledge
•Easy
•Moderately
difficult
•Most difficult
Five Principles of Learning
Through ASK employees learns. However, learning
might be if 5 principles are followed.
 Participation: involve trainees, learn by doing
 Repetition: repeat ideas & concepts to help
people learn
 Relevance: learn better when material is
meaningful and related
 Transference: to real world using simulations
 Feedback: ask for it and adjust training
methods to audience.
A Systematic Approach
to Training
Key Concepts in Preparing a Training
Plan
Before you train and develop people identify
what:
They must know - before they can perform job
They should know - to improve performance
Would be nice for them to know – but not
necessary to perform duties.
Nine Steps in the Training
Process
1. Assessing training needs
2. Preparing training plan
3. Specifying training objectives
4. Designing the training program(s)
5. Selecting the instructional methods
6. Completing the training plan
7. Implementing the training program
8. Evaluating the training
9. Planning future training
1. Assessing Training Needs
Conduct a training needs analysis by
either one, or both, of the following.
External approach - Company, guests,
society.
Internal approach – using a staff opinion
survey.
2. Preparing Training Plan
Ask your self “What are we going to
achieve in the time period?”
Use a holistic approach by using a
calendar for inputting your training
activities.
Consider whether to design a long (5-10
years), medium (3-5 years) or short (1
year) term plan.
1-25
Training Calendar Example

Training Area Month in the year
Individual Plans
For individual personalized training, we
must assess the trainees’ weakness and
strengths first before setting up
appropriate programs.
Training areas may be tailor-made.
Trainee should receive an individual timetable
for self progress.
3. Specifying Training
Objectives
Training Objectives must be specific &
measurable.
What should trainees be able to accomplish
after participating in the training program?
What is the desired level of such
accomplishment, according to industry or
organizational standards?
Do you want to develop attitudes, skills,
knowledge or some combination of these
three?
4. Designing the Training
Program(s)
1. Program duration
2. Program structure
3. Instruction methods
4. Trainers qualifications
5. Nature of trainees
6. Support resources –
materials, OHP,
classroom, etc.
7. Training location &
environment
8. Criteria & methods
for assessing
participant learning
and achievement
9. Criteria & methods
for evaluating the
program.
5. Selecting Instructional Methods
Note: This is the most important step
On-the job-training (OJT)
Learn while you’re working
Off -the job-training
In house, training or classroom
External, consultancies or attending external
classes
Independent bodies, such as government talks
Distance learning, from books or notes
Computer-assisted learning
Interactive-video training
Video conferencing, same as classroom except
teachers and students are in different locations.
6. Completing the Training
Plan
 Target group – assess your audience
 Topic – task, skill or attitude ingredient
 Method – direct (one way communication) or
indirect (discussion, games, experimental
exercises…). Important as evaluation of trainees
usually lies on the perception on what they did
in the training session
 Time – length, period, breaks important to
consider
 Location – away from the office?
7. Implementing the Training
Program
Besides trainers qualifications and
experience:
Participant selection
Group comfort - physical & psychological
Trainer enthusiasm & skills
Effective communication
Feedback mechanism
The need to learn new training skills
Preparation by trainers
8. Evaluating the Training
Three Levels of Evaluation, Such as,
1. Immediate Feedback
 Survey or interview directly after training
2. Post-Training Test
 Trainee applying learned tasks in
workplace?
3. Post-Training Appraisals
 Conducted by immediate supervisors of
trainees
9. Planning Future Training
Last step in the training process –
After taking all evaluated comments,
trainers should modify the programs to
keep good things and make suggested
improvements
Remember, even with the same topic for
different trainees, trainers should address
many parts of the training process again and
consider new approaches.

Characteristics of Effective
On-the-Job Training (OJT)
 The organization should issue a policy
statement describing the purpose of OJT and
emphasizing the organization‘s support for it.
 The organization should specify who is
accountable for conducting OJT.
 The organization should review OJT practices at
companies in similar industries.
 Managers and peers should be trained in OJT
principles.
Ways That Training Helps
Employees Learn
Measures of Training
Success
The following indicators may be used to
measure the success of training.
 Trainee Satisfaction
 Return on Investment (ROI)
 Performance Improvement
 New Skills, Knowledge & Attitude
 Transfer of Training
Measures of Training
Success
Transfer of Training
• Transfer of training: On-the-job use of
knowledge, skills, and behaviors learned
in training.
• Can be measured by asking employees
three questions about specific training
tasks:
1. Do you perform the task?
2. How many times do you perform the task?
3. To what extent do you perform difficult and
challenging learned tasks?
Orientation of New Employees
• Orientation:
training designed
to prepare
employees
– to perform their
jobs effectively,
– learn about their
organization, and
– establish work
relationships.
The objectives of
orientation
programs include
making new
employees familiar
with the
organization’s
rules, policies, and
procedures.
Content of
a Typical
Orientation
Program
Diversity Training
• Training designed to change employee
attitudes about diversity and/or
develop skills needed to work in a
diverse workforce.
• These programs generally emphasize
either
– attitude awareness and change, or
– behavior change
Effective Training Designing
Process
A systematic approach for developing training
programs.
Is based on the principles of Instructional
System Design (ISD).
Is sometimes referred to as the ADDIE model
because it includes analysis, design,
development, implementation, and
evaluation.
Should be systematic yet flexible enough to
adapt to business needs.
Effective Training Designing
Process, Contd.,
Effective Training Designing
Process (cont.)
 Regardless of the specific Instructional System
Design (ISD) approach used, all the steps share
the following assumptions:
 Training design is effective only if it helps employees
reach their training objectives.
 Measurable learning objectives should be identified
before the training program begins.
 Evaluation plays an important part in planning and
choosing a training method, monitoring the training
program, and suggesting changes to the training
design process.
The Instructional Systems Designs
(ISD) Model of Training & Development
ISD Model
A rational and scientific model of the
training & development process that
consists of three major steps:
a training needs analysis
training design and delivery
 training evaluation

The Instructional System Design Model of Training & Developing
Flaws of ISD Approach
In organizations, the training design process
rarely follows the step by-step approach of
the activities.
Organizations require trainers to provide
detailed documents of each activity found in
the model; this adds time and cost to
developing a training program.
It implies an end point: evaluation.

Benefits of Training
Most training is
targeted to ensure
trainees “learn”
something they
apply to their job.
Benefits of Training and
Development
Organizational Benefits
Organizational strategy
By linking training to an organization’s
strategy, training becomes a strategic
activity that operates in concert with
other programs and activities to
achieve an organization’s strategy.

Blooms Taxonomy
In 1780 Abigail Adams stated, "Learning is
not attained by chance; it must be sought
for with ardor (love) and attended to with
diligence" .
Although, it received little attention when
first published in 1956, Bloom's Taxonomy
has since been translated into 22
languages and is one of the most widely
applied and most often cited references in
education.
1-85
Blooms Taxonomy
 Creating: can the student create new
product or point of view?
 Evaluating: can the student justify a
stand or decision?
 Analyzing: can the student
distinguish between the different
parts?
 Applying: can the student use the
information in a new way?
 Understanding: can the student
explain ideas or concepts?
 Remembering: can the student
recall or remember the information?

Quebecor World Incorporated
Case Study
 Companies in Quebec with payrolls over $1 million are required by
law to spend 1 percent of their payroll on training, or pay a training
tax. They must also carefully document their training activities and
complete government forms every February. The main aspects of
the legislation are as follows:
1. Every February, companies must file paperwork in which they
indicate how they spent 1 percent of their total payroll on training.
2. If they have not spent at least 1 percent of their total payroll on
training, they must pay the difference to the government, and that
money is then used to fund training programs in companies that
have invested at least 1 percent in training.
3. Companies must use accredited training bodies, instructors, and
services that follow a code of ethics. All types of training are eligible.
4. General information about the participation of employees in
training exercises must be provided.
5. Companies that meet the 1 percent training investment can apply
for provincial training grants.

Case Incident:
Canadian American Transportation Systems
 Canadian American Transportation Systems began running a new high-speed ferry
between Toronto and New York State in 2004. The marine industry is highly regulated
and most of the workers have no experience. So a great deal of training was needed
to meet the rigorous standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada.
There are two mandatory levels of training. One is called SOLAS (safety of life at sea),
which involves a very basic familiarization of the vessel, basic life saving procedures,
and medical emergencies. There is also a more advanced program of survival training
called STCW (seafarers’ training certification and watch keeping). Employees were
taken to Olympic-sized pools where they had to jump in the water, get people into
safety rafts, and learn how to use equipment in cold water conditions. Good customer
service is also important, so employees need to understand the customer experience.
 Questions
1. To what extent has the instructional system design (ISD) model of training and
development been used? Discuss how the ISD model is relevant for the training of the
new staff and how it can be applied.
2. Discuss the benefits of the training described in the case for the organization,
employees, and the public.

Case Study: Flotation Ltd.
“Great course, Sam!” said the trainees as they walked out the door and headed for the parking lot. Just
like all the others. Sam Harris, a veteran trainer with Flotation Ltd., a manufacturer of life jackets and
other flotation devices, smiled as he gathered his notes together.
He had just finished two hours of wisecracking and slightly off-colour storytelling as he worked his way
through the third session of a human relations course for supervisors. “Keep ’em happy” was Sam’s
motto. Give the troops what they want, keep your enrolments up, and no one will complain.
Sam was good at it, too! For 20 years, he had earned an easy living, working the politics, producing
good numbers (of trainees) for the top brass to brag about (“We give each employee up to 26 hours of
training every year!”), and generally promoting his small training group as a beehive of activity.
Everybody knew Sam and everybody liked him. His courses were fun. He had no trouble convincing
managers to send their people. He put out a little catalogue with his course list every year in January.
He hadn’t had a cancellation in more than 10 years. Some managers said that training was the best
reward they had. Now, only three years from retirement, Sam intended to coast comfortably into
pension-land. All his favourite courses had long been prepared. All he had to do was make adjustments
here and there and create some trendy new titles.
But times were changing. The company president was thinking differently. “I need somebody to take a
close look at our training function,” he said. Sitting in the president’s office, Jenny Stoppard, the newly
hired Vice
President of Human Resources, wondered what he meant. Flotation Ltd. had a reputation as a
company with a well-trained workforce.
“We need to increase our productivity per person by 50 percent over the next three years,” the
president continued. “And you are going to spearhead that effort. We spend a lot on training and we
cycle people through a lot of courses. But I’m not satisfied with the bottom line. I know that while Dad
was president he swore by Sam and said he was the greatest. I don’t know anymore. Maybe a whole
new approach is needed. Anyway, I want you to take a close look at Sam’s operation.”
Case Study: Flotation Ltd Cont’d
Later in the day, the president called Sam into his office. “Sam, I want you to meet Jenny
Stoppard. I’ve just hired her as Vice President of Human Resources. She’s your new boss. I
think the next three years are going to be very exciting around here, and Jenny is going to be a
key player in the drive to increase our competitiveness. I want you to do everything in your
power to cooperate with her.”
Questions
1. Comment on Sam’s approach to training. Would you want him working for your company?
What are the benefits of his training to employees and the organization?
2. To what extent is training at Flotation Ltd. strategic? What would make it more strategic?
3. To what extent has Sam used the instructional systems design (ISD) model of training and
development? If he were to more fully use the ISD model, what should he do? Comment on
each step of the ISD
model.
4. How does Sam evaluate his training programs? Compare Sam’s evaluation to the president’s

Training and Development - Difference  Training  The acquisition of Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSA), to improve performance on one’s current job. Usually consists of short-term focus on acquiring skills to perform one’s job employees to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to carry out the work needed to meet an organization’s objectives.  Development  The acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA), required to perform one’s future job responsibilities and for the long- term achievement of individual career goals and organizational objectives.  The goal is to prepare employees for managerial careers.  Improving an individual in line with the requirements of that individual.
  • 13. Training, & Development – Difference, Contd., Training refers to educating technical and operational employees in how to better do their current jobs Short-Term skills oriented Development refers to educating professionals and managers in the skills they need to do their jobs in the future Long-Term career oriented
  • 14. Training, Education & Development - Differences Training is short term, task oriented and targeted on achieving a change of attitude, skills and knowledge in a specific area. It is usually job related. Development is a long term investment in human resources. Education is a lifetime investment. It tends to be initiated by a person in the area of his/her interest.
  • 15. Importance of Training Helps in maintaining high quality products /services; Achieves high service standards; Provides information for new comers; Refreshes memory of old employees; Achieves learning about new things, technology, products / services delivery Reduces mistakes - minimizing costs; Opportunity for staff to feedback / suggest improvements; Improves communication & relationships - better teamwork.

  • 17. What Managers Should Do to Support Training
  • 18. The ASK Concept  If we follow the GAP concept, training is simply a means to use activities to fill the gaps of performance between the actual results and the expected results.  This GAP can be separated into 3 main themes - 1.Attitude 2.Skills 3.Knowledge
  • 19. Exercise Rank ASK by difficulty to develop in people. Attitude Skills Knowledge •Easy •Moderately difficult •Most difficult
  • 20. Five Principles of Learning Through ASK employees learns. However, learning might be if 5 principles are followed.  Participation: involve trainees, learn by doing  Repetition: repeat ideas & concepts to help people learn  Relevance: learn better when material is meaningful and related  Transference: to real world using simulations  Feedback: ask for it and adjust training methods to audience.
  • 21. A Systematic Approach to Training Key Concepts in Preparing a Training Plan Before you train and develop people identify what: They must know - before they can perform job They should know - to improve performance Would be nice for them to know – but not necessary to perform duties.
  • 22. Nine Steps in the Training Process 1. Assessing training needs 2. Preparing training plan 3. Specifying training objectives 4. Designing the training program(s) 5. Selecting the instructional methods 6. Completing the training plan 7. Implementing the training program 8. Evaluating the training 9. Planning future training
  • 23. 1. Assessing Training Needs Conduct a training needs analysis by either one, or both, of the following. External approach - Company, guests, society. Internal approach – using a staff opinion survey.
  • 24. 2. Preparing Training Plan Ask your self “What are we going to achieve in the time period?” Use a holistic approach by using a calendar for inputting your training activities. Consider whether to design a long (5-10 years), medium (3-5 years) or short (1 year) term plan.
  • 25. 1-25 Training Calendar Example 1 2 3 4 5 6 7... Attitude Train the trainer Job competency Sales techniques Telephone manner … Training Area Month in the year
  • 26. Individual Plans For individual personalized training, we must assess the trainees’ weakness and strengths first before setting up appropriate programs. Training areas may be tailor-made. Trainee should receive an individual timetable for self progress.
  • 27. 3. Specifying Training Objectives Training Objectives must be specific & measurable. What should trainees be able to accomplish after participating in the training program? What is the desired level of such accomplishment, according to industry or organizational standards? Do you want to develop attitudes, skills, knowledge or some combination of these three?
  • 28. 4. Designing the Training Program(s) 1. Program duration 2. Program structure 3. Instruction methods 4. Trainers qualifications 5. Nature of trainees 6. Support resources – materials, OHP, classroom, etc. 7. Training location & environment 8. Criteria & methods for assessing participant learning and achievement 9. Criteria & methods for evaluating the program.
  • 29. 5. Selecting Instructional Methods Note: This is the most important step On-the job-training (OJT) Learn while you’re working Off -the job-training In house, training or classroom External, consultancies or attending external classes Independent bodies, such as government talks Distance learning, from books or notes Computer-assisted learning Interactive-video training Video conferencing, same as classroom except teachers and students are in different locations.
  • 30. 6. Completing the Training Plan  Target group – assess your audience  Topic – task, skill or attitude ingredient  Method – direct (one way communication) or indirect (discussion, games, experimental exercises…). Important as evaluation of trainees usually lies on the perception on what they did in the training session  Time – length, period, breaks important to consider  Location – away from the office?
  • 31. 7. Implementing the Training Program Besides trainers qualifications and experience: Participant selection Group comfort - physical & psychological Trainer enthusiasm & skills Effective communication Feedback mechanism The need to learn new training skills Preparation by trainers
  • 32. 8. Evaluating the Training Three Levels of Evaluation, Such as, 1. Immediate Feedback  Survey or interview directly after training 2. Post-Training Test  Trainee applying learned tasks in workplace? 3. Post-Training Appraisals  Conducted by immediate supervisors of trainees
  • 33. 9. Planning Future Training Last step in the training process – After taking all evaluated comments, trainers should modify the programs to keep good things and make suggested improvements Remember, even with the same topic for different trainees, trainers should address many parts of the training process again and consider new approaches.

  • 37. Characteristics of Effective On-the-Job Training (OJT)  The organization should issue a policy statement describing the purpose of OJT and emphasizing the organization‘s support for it.  The organization should specify who is accountable for conducting OJT.  The organization should review OJT practices at companies in similar industries.  Managers and peers should be trained in OJT principles.
  • 38. Ways That Training Helps Employees Learn
  • 39. Measures of Training Success The following indicators may be used to measure the success of training.  Trainee Satisfaction  Return on Investment (ROI)  Performance Improvement  New Skills, Knowledge & Attitude  Transfer of Training
  • 41. Transfer of Training • Transfer of training: On-the-job use of knowledge, skills, and behaviors learned in training. • Can be measured by asking employees three questions about specific training tasks: 1. Do you perform the task? 2. How many times do you perform the task? 3. To what extent do you perform difficult and challenging learned tasks?
  • 42. Orientation of New Employees • Orientation: training designed to prepare employees – to perform their jobs effectively, – learn about their organization, and – establish work relationships. The objectives of orientation programs include making new employees familiar with the organization’s rules, policies, and procedures.
  • 44. Diversity Training • Training designed to change employee attitudes about diversity and/or develop skills needed to work in a diverse workforce. • These programs generally emphasize either – attitude awareness and change, or – behavior change
  • 45. Effective Training Designing Process A systematic approach for developing training programs. Is based on the principles of Instructional System Design (ISD). Is sometimes referred to as the ADDIE model because it includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Should be systematic yet flexible enough to adapt to business needs.
  • 47. Effective Training Designing Process (cont.)  Regardless of the specific Instructional System Design (ISD) approach used, all the steps share the following assumptions:  Training design is effective only if it helps employees reach their training objectives.  Measurable learning objectives should be identified before the training program begins.  Evaluation plays an important part in planning and choosing a training method, monitoring the training program, and suggesting changes to the training design process.
  • 48. The Instructional Systems Designs (ISD) Model of Training & Development ISD Model A rational and scientific model of the training & development process that consists of three major steps: a training needs analysis training design and delivery  training evaluation

  • 93. Quebecor World Incorporated Case Study  Companies in Quebec with payrolls over $1 million are required by law to spend 1 percent of their payroll on training, or pay a training tax. They must also carefully document their training activities and complete government forms every February. The main aspects of the legislation are as follows: 1. Every February, companies must file paperwork in which they indicate how they spent 1 percent of their total payroll on training. 2. If they have not spent at least 1 percent of their total payroll on training, they must pay the difference to the government, and that money is then used to fund training programs in companies that have invested at least 1 percent in training. 3. Companies must use accredited training bodies, instructors, and services that follow a code of ethics. All types of training are eligible. 4. General information about the participation of employees in training exercises must be provided. 5. Companies that meet the 1 percent training investment can apply for provincial training grants.

  • 94. Case Incident: Canadian American Transportation Systems  Canadian American Transportation Systems began running a new high-speed ferry between Toronto and New York State in 2004. The marine industry is highly regulated and most of the workers have no experience. So a great deal of training was needed to meet the rigorous standards set by the U.S. Coast Guard and Transport Canada. There are two mandatory levels of training. One is called SOLAS (safety of life at sea), which involves a very basic familiarization of the vessel, basic life saving procedures, and medical emergencies. There is also a more advanced program of survival training called STCW (seafarers’ training certification and watch keeping). Employees were taken to Olympic-sized pools where they had to jump in the water, get people into safety rafts, and learn how to use equipment in cold water conditions. Good customer service is also important, so employees need to understand the customer experience.  Questions 1. To what extent has the instructional system design (ISD) model of training and development been used? Discuss how the ISD model is relevant for the training of the new staff and how it can be applied. 2. Discuss the benefits of the training described in the case for the organization, employees, and the public.  Source: Garcia, C. (2004, May 17). CloseUp: Training and development.

  • 95. Case Study: Flotation Ltd. “Great course, Sam!” said the trainees as they walked out the door and headed for the parking lot. Just like all the others. Sam Harris, a veteran trainer with Flotation Ltd., a manufacturer of life jackets and other flotation devices, smiled as he gathered his notes together. He had just finished two hours of wisecracking and slightly off-colour storytelling as he worked his way through the third session of a human relations course for supervisors. “Keep ’em happy” was Sam’s motto. Give the troops what they want, keep your enrolments up, and no one will complain. Sam was good at it, too! For 20 years, he had earned an easy living, working the politics, producing good numbers (of trainees) for the top brass to brag about (“We give each employee up to 26 hours of training every year!”), and generally promoting his small training group as a beehive of activity. Everybody knew Sam and everybody liked him. His courses were fun. He had no trouble convincing managers to send their people. He put out a little catalogue with his course list every year in January. He hadn’t had a cancellation in more than 10 years. Some managers said that training was the best reward they had. Now, only three years from retirement, Sam intended to coast comfortably into pension-land. All his favourite courses had long been prepared. All he had to do was make adjustments here and there and create some trendy new titles. But times were changing. The company president was thinking differently. “I need somebody to take a close look at our training function,” he said. Sitting in the president’s office, Jenny Stoppard, the newly hired Vice President of Human Resources, wondered what he meant. Flotation Ltd. had a reputation as a company with a well-trained workforce. “We need to increase our productivity per person by 50 percent over the next three years,” the president continued. “And you are going to spearhead that effort. We spend a lot on training and we cycle people through a lot of courses. But I’m not satisfied with the bottom line. I know that while Dad was president he swore by Sam and said he was the greatest. I don’t know anymore. Maybe a whole new approach is needed. Anyway, I want you to take a close look at Sam’s operation.”
  • 96. Case Study: Flotation Ltd Cont’d Later in the day, the president called Sam into his office. “Sam, I want you to meet Jenny Stoppard. I’ve just hired her as Vice President of Human Resources. She’s your new boss. I think the next three years are going to be very exciting around here, and Jenny is going to be a key player in the drive to increase our competitiveness. I want you to do everything in your power to cooperate with her.” Questions 1. Comment on Sam’s approach to training. Would you want him working for your company? What are the benefits of his training to employees and the organization? 2. To what extent is training at Flotation Ltd. strategic? What would make it more strategic? 3. To what extent has Sam used the instructional systems design (ISD) model of training and development? If he were to more fully use the ISD model, what should he do? Comment on each step of the ISD model. 4. How does Sam evaluate his training programs? Compare Sam’s evaluation to the president’s objectives. If Sam were to evaluate training based on the president’s objectives, what would he have to do? What do you think the results might be? 5. The president has asked Jenny to “take a close look at Sam’s operation.” What should she do, and what should she report back to the president?
