...this author does not know the whole story, Carl Robins exhibited poor planning, execution and follow through of his duties, which would appear he is either not qualified or trained to do his, job effectively.

Carl scheduled a new hire orientation to take place June 15 with the intent of having all the new hires working by July. On May 15, Monica Carrolls, the Operation Supervisor, contacted Carl about coordinating new hire issues such as manuals, drug tests, and policy booklets.

...COMM/215 CASE STUDY FOR STUDENT ANALYSIS There were two issues with Carl Robins, the new campus recruiter that ABC hired to help with hiring new trainees. One is lack of training, and the other is a lack of communication within the company. These are a couple of critical steps to having an excellent on-boarding process with a new employee. It is critical to not only the success of the new employee but for the company as well. The way a company trains and communicates the needs of the company to its new employee indicates the value they put in the individual that the company hired. If a company does not have an established training program and clear and open lines of communication with the trainees it puts less value in the trainee, and furthermore less value in the company. Background Carl Robins was hired for ABC, Inc to recruit new hires for the company. Successful in his efforts, Robins hired 15 new trainees for Monica in the operations department. However Robins was unsuccessful in getting the new employees the orientation schedule according to plan, due to lack of communication and lack of training for Carl’s position. Key Problems Several things happened that led to Carl’s performance leading up to his failure in not getting the new hires to the necessary training to start for the company.

...learn, and manage anticipated job that may be assigned to them in their future in the business, and know their job duties. Case Study for Student Analysis: Training in the Workplace - Carl Robin Case Study Successful employment in society depends mainly on proper training, assignment of duties, and expectation. A well trained employee whose responsibility has been well defined, and expectation has been set, is more likely to succeed at his job. Whereas employees that have not received adequate training, and are required to perform essential tasks in the work force are more likely to omit crucial steps such as time management, task completion, company regulations. Such employees are less likely to perform well at their duties, and responsibilities, and more likely to feel stressed, discouraged, and potentially prone to accidents depending on the duties. This case study will focus on describing problems in training in the workplace, and preventive actions that could be used to fix them in the short term, and long term. Background Carl Robin’s first recruitment effort proved to be successful in hiring 15 new trainees in April to work for Monica Carrols the Operations Supervisor by July.
