Discussion:
1)Your department has been asked to demonstrate the ROI of the safety training you recently conducted for employees on the warehouse floor. List the major steps you would take to calculate training ROI for this training. Remember to describe expected outcomes, costs and benefits (you do not need to provide any specific dollar amounts). What does ROI actually show?
2) Discusses four broad methods for employee development. You have just been hired as Director of Development for a large company with no employee development program at all. Define TWO of the four methods and discuss how you would implement programs to support those TWO methods of employee development.
3) Your organization is about to be acquired by a competitor. You are currently the VP of training and development and the new CEO will let you keep your job (lucky you!) on one condition: he says it is time for a change to the way both companies have been doing training over the last two decades. Discuss how you can help ensure that new training practices and procedures are accepted by and effective for employees of both companies. What are the most important steps in the change management process, and what strategies would you use to manage those steps?
