2. Opening Case: Sweet Delights
Once upon a time, in a small but bustling town, there was a family-owned
bakery called "Sweet Delights." The bakery had been a beloved establishment
for generations, famous for its delicious pastries and cakes. However, in
recent years, competition had grown fierce, and the bakery's sales had started
to decline. The owner, Mr. Baker, knew he had to take action to turn things
around.
Mr. Baker believed that the key to revitalizing Sweet Delights was to improve
the quality of the baked goods and the customer service. To achieve this, he
realized that his employees needed training and development.

3. He decided to hire a talented and experienced pastry chef named Claire to
help him lead the transformation. Claire was not only skilled in baking but
was also passionate about teaching. She believed that investing in the
development of the bakery's employees was crucial to their success.
Claire started by assessing the skills and knowledge of the existing staff. She
quickly noticed areas where they could improve, from creating new recipes to
enhancing their customer service skills. Mr. Baker supported her every step of
the way, allocating a budget for training programs and workshops.

4. The first thing Claire did was organize a training session on new baking
techniques. She taught the team how to make pastries that were not only
delicious but visually appealing. The employees embraced the new
knowledge with enthusiasm, and their confidence soared as they saw the
positive reactions of their customers.
Next, Claire focused on customer service. She understood that a friendly and
attentive staff was essential to creating a positive experience for Sweet
Delights' customers. She conducted workshops on communication, problem-
solving, and dealing with difficult customers. The employees learned to listen
to feedback and respond with empathy, turning unhappy customers into loyal
ones.

remarkable transformation. The pastries and cakes now looked and tasted
even better than before, and the staff's customer service skills had
significantly improved. Word began to spread about the positive changes
happening at the bakery.
Customers returned, bringing new ones with them. Sweet Delights' sales
started to increase steadily, and the bakery regained its reputation as a top
destination for delicious treats. Mr. Baker was delighted by the turnaround
and the impact of training and development.

Informal learning may account for up to 75 percent of learning within
organizations.

You’re the supervisor of a group of employees whose task is to
assemble disk drives that go into computers. You find that quality
is not what it should be and that many of your group’s devices have
to be brought back and reworked; your boss says that “You’d better
start doing a better job of training your workers.” A) What are
some of the “staffing factors” that could be contributing to this
problem? B) Explain how you would go about assessing whether it
is in fact a training problem.
