New hires will be trained on the basic knowledge of the organization as well as receiving training for their specific position and job requirements within the company. New hire training would consist of 4-6 weeks of classroom training (dependent on the position of hire) coupled with observing and shadowing of an employee in the same position. An assessment test will be given to each new hire at the completion of training to determine how much of the information was retained, and to determine if additional new hiring training is needed.

...Question 1 When an organization encounters extreme turnover, the organization will suffered in terms of brain drain that is considered as the loss of skills, power, and human resource. However organizations that have little turnover will achieve their objectives. There are two types of turnover, that this essay will focus on as well as the causes and ways that can be used to counter both turnovers. Firstly, turnover refers to leaving the organization because of employees not being happy with their employer’s decision or attitude, which creates job dissatisfaction occurring from negative treatment. Involuntary turnover occurs when the organization causes depression or dissatisfaction by terminating employees, in simple terms “turnover initiated by an employer (organization)” (Noe, et al., 2011). Voluntary turnover refer to employees reaction against bad situation offered by the organization or in other words, “turnover initiated by individual employee” (Noe, et al., 2011). These two turnovers lead the organization into “brain drain” in terms of human resources and negative publicity. Secondly, involuntary turnover is used by the organization for reasonable reasons to encounter the change and also to avoid harassment and other activities that can put the organization into serious issues in the future. Noe (et at, 2011) stated two causes of this kind of turnover which is “drug use” and “downturn”. Employee who use drug but not only drug, harassment activities within the organization...

...Training Needs Analysis The subject of this paper in relationship to training needs analysis (TNA) is the performance management system (PMS) within an organization. A training need analysis is used to assess an organization’s training needs through the process of gathering and interpreting data for identifying areas for personal and organizational performance improvement. The challenge is to obtain complete and accurate training needs analysis data. It can identify and determine the solution of training for the employees within the organizations’ goals and objectives (Noe, 2013). An effective training needs analysis should also meet the employees’ job competency requirement needs by answering who, what when, and why as well as how. An effective performance management program is concerned with both effective employees and an equally effective organization. Performance management system is the process of motivating employees through setting goals, measuring programs, giving feedback, coaching for improved performance, and rewarding achievements (Phillips & Gully, 2012). The implementation of a positive performance management system program can promote an organizations’ strategic plan effectiveness. Once a performance management system is implemented, it will allow for manager and supervisors to foster open communication with their employees. This openness will result in a positive and productive working environment and conditions where all employees feel some value and...

...Organizational analysis involves identifying whether training supports the company’s strategic direction; whether managers, peers, and employees support training activity; and what training resources are available. Table 3.3 provides questions that trainers should answer in an organizational analysis. Some combination of documentation, interviews, or focus groups of managers and individuals in the training function should be used to answer these questions. The strategic role of training influences the frequency and type of training and how the training function is organized in the company. In companies in which training is expected to contribute to the achievement of business strategies and goals, the amount of money allocated to training and the frequency of training will likely be higher than in companies in which training is done haphazardly or with no strategic intent in mind. For example, companies that believe learning contributes to their competitive advantage or that have adopted high-performance work systems (e.g., teams) are likely to have greater training budgets and conduct more training. The business strategy also influences the type of training. Companies that have adopted a disinvestment strategy are more likely to focus on Outplacement assistance and job search skills training than are companies with other strategic initiatives. Last, the greater the strategic role of training, the more likely the company will organize the training function using the business-embedded or Corporate...
