...Employee Training and Career Development Employment Development and Career Training This world is filled with choices and knowing the meaning behind those choices has become a hard pill to swallow for some people. For one, the knowledge of the roles in training an organization helps along the lines of gaining information about the company and understanding the need the HRM takes to hire, maintain, and fire employees. The role of training an employee is a matter of both the manager and employee discuss the movement in which the employee wishes to go. The Manager’s job is to make training available for the employee to succeed. The difference between employee development and organization development are not that far apart. As the organization seek training to move the company forward, employee training seeks to move the employee forward as well. One is a bigger picture and the other is a smaller picture of the same goals. Role of training in an organization The organization and the training office will work closely together depending on the direction of the company. In the beginning it is important for the employee to possess the necessary talent in order to compete for a position. Training the new employee on the job function will be the responsibility of the training office of the organization. The next level of training would consist of training the employees for expansion.

...China Media Research, 9(3), 2013, Zheng, Case Study of Audi’s Brand Repositioning in China A Case Study of Audi’s Brand Repositioning in China Lu Zheng University of Florida Abstract: Based on a comprehensive review of Audi’s press releases published from 1999 to 2007 and in-depth interviews with Audi’s public relations professionals, this case study identified media relations, event sponsorship, and corporate social responsibility as Audi’s main public relations strategies for its brand repositioning in the Chinese market. Each strategy and related tactics were first illustrated by specific examples and then surveyed in light of contemporary public relations and mass communication theories. [China Media Research. 2013; 9(3): 64-73] Key words: Audi, brand, reposition Introduction Audi, a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Volkswagen, entered the Chinese automobile market in 1988. In the late 1990s, or one decade after its China debut, Audi, with the help of Ruder Finn, a New-York based independent PR firm, began to implement a brand repositioning strategy in China. By the mid-2000s, thanks to its unremitting PR efforts, Audi has successfully repositioned itself from a government car brand to a premium car brand targeting successful business professionals (Ruder Finn, 2007). Since the launching of its China production in 1988, Audi was designated as the “premium government car brand” dedicated to serve high-rank government officials. In contrast, middle and low ranking government...

Determine the topics that should be covered in the seminar. Support your selection of the topics. • Develop criteria to assist in selecting the vendor to use for the training.

I would also cover workload, setting priorities, getting help when needed, and setting reasonable goals. The selected vendor I would use would be in the form of an informal presentation. Open ended discussions and participation would be encouraged. Feedback would be solicited at the end of the training. Lastly, surveys would be handed out at the end of the training to rate the training and/or garner improvements. Stewart, G.L. and Brown, K.G.

...‘Removing ten barriers to implementing CSR in Bangladesh’ Barrier A – CSR is thought to be American protectionism – the USA labour unions are alleged to be using CSR as an excuse and are trying to force up our production costs and so get jobs back into the USA. Social Responsibility is not a new idea; it has a long history in Asia and in Europe. If CSR is part of a conspiracy to protect jobs in North America (or in Europe) why is it accepted so well and practiced so widely in the West and in so many trade sectors there? Barrier B – Some company proprietors are convinced that the “business of business is business” and so they want NGOs do their community development work and the government to fund schools, colleges, clinics and hospitals - after all that’s why they pay their company taxes and VAT! Companies need a stable society in which to trade, we need healthy, well educated and compliant workers. It’s in the long term interests of the business sector in Bangladesh to improve our corporate futures by investing in the community – in our workers and their communities - if we are to be able to manufacture and sell increasing volumes of our products in Bangladesh. Barrier C – Business owners holding the opinion that spending on CSR is an improper use the company’s hard earned profits (especially in a period of worldwide recession). These proprietors are also of the view that their companies should concentrate on making money for their shareholders and focus on giving the...

...Human resources management Report Human resources management Report Executive Summary This HR comparative report has been written in order to analyse the different HR policies applied in two opposed companies. The two companies in question are Velay Bernard which acts in the tertiary industrial sector and Go Sport whose main activities are located in the sports items distribution market. At Velay Bernard, a lot of the workers are temporary workers and recruited by a temporary Agency called Randstad. So their principal motivation is their salary and bonuses at the end of the month. Working conditions and relations at work are quite good due to an open space workshop and a friendly working atmosphere. At Go Sport, a majority of workers signed a fixed term contract and where recruited thanks to the classical recruitment process CV+Cover Letter+Interview. Getting a permanent contract and working its way up in the hierarchy is one of the main motivations employees have.

Summary slides from the Friday discussion sessions are available at http://www.fda.gov/cber/summaries.htm. There was apparent consensus on many key points: * Successful programs are multifaceted, drawing on expertise in customer relations, advertising, public relation and, marketing. Such programs exhibit a culture of innovation and hard work. * The most successful programs have all staff members encouraging and thanking donors. * Donor recognition is an important component of a successful program. Recognition does not mean providing incentives or gifts to donors. Recognition means acknowledging donors altruistic contribution at each donation, with special recognition at milestones of their donation career such as a public thank-you for multi-gallon donors at a celebration dinner...

...The Customer Services Team handles all inbound calls for the business (1000+ per day) and operates from 08:00 to 20:00 Monday to Saturday. There are fifteen team members two of which are Team Leaders. The Team is further divided into different sub-groups that deal with different business sectors such as Pharma, Telecommunications, e-commerce. The main focus of the team is dealing with customer queries via inbound calls and managing corporate accounts in terms of providing daily reports and updates. The Team Assessment and the group discussions would seem to indicate that this is a group of individuals that are operating in a very structured environment and while they are referred to as a team they do not actually operate as a team. Each member of the team has specifically assigned tasks which they focus on but these do not combine at a higher level. The team are therefore very task orientated and operate independently of each other. Communication within the team is also a fundamental issue but this may be driven by the task nature of the group which does not require a high level of communication to complete. In assessing the results from the Team Assessment there are a number of areas that are presenting challenges for the team. The results of the assessment indicate that the core challenges for the team centre on interpersonal communication, respect, collaboration and styles. This is not atypical given that call centres can be a loud, fast paced and highly pressurised...
