Human resources and decision making
Order Description
You are the HR Manager in" rel="nofollow">in a large organisation – Santo Corporation. It has been a desperate
time for the organisation with huge issues related to turnover, dissatisfaction, and performance. As a result, a
huge amount of fundin" rel="nofollow">ing was allocated towards addressin" rel="nofollow">ing the problem. To try to address the problem, you
advised Santo Corporation that a developmental train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing program was needed aimed at in" rel="nofollow">increasin" rel="nofollow">ing employee
satisfaction, commitment, in" rel="nofollow">intentions to stay in" rel="nofollow">in the organisation, and ultimately performance. However, you
were unsure of the best way to deliver the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing so the CEO asked you to try 4 different train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing
approaches to see what worked best for their employees before rollin" rel="nofollow">ing it out to whole organisation
(approximately 10,000 employees).
Overall, you developed the followin" rel="nofollow">ing train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing approaches in" rel="nofollow">in order to address the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing need.
1. On-the-job train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing with the team leader.
2. Classroom train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing.
3. Onlin" rel="nofollow">ine train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing.
4. One-to-one mentorin" rel="nofollow">ing.
You have led the team implementin" rel="nofollow">ing the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing programs and have conducted the followin" rel="nofollow">ing activities.
1. 10 people from each train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing group were in" rel="nofollow">interviewed about their satisfaction with the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing they
received and also whether it actually made a difference to their work and/or home life. Semistructured
in" rel="nofollow">interviews were used and each lasted about 30 min" rel="nofollow">inutes. Each in" rel="nofollow">interview was recorded and
transcribed later. Interviews were conducted by an external consultin" rel="nofollow">ing company and no names of
in" rel="nofollow">interviewees were known. For each type of train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing, the company selected 10 employees from a list
of 50. The selection of in" rel="nofollow">interviewees was based on the proportion of people in" rel="nofollow">in job types. In each
department, about 20% were higher level managers, 30% were middle level supervisors and the rest
were lower level employees. Within" rel="nofollow">in each category, employees were then selected randomly from the
list.
2. All employees from all train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing programs tested were asked to complete an onlin" rel="nofollow">ine survey about their
perceptions of the train" rel="nofollow">inin" rel="nofollow">ing and their levels of job-related attitudes (such as satisfaction, in" rel="nofollow">intentions to
leave, commitment, and performance) amongst other issues of in" rel="nofollow">interest to the organisation.
Selected statements relatin" rel="nofollow">ing to the in" rel="nofollow">interview transcripts have been placed in" rel="nofollow">in a document on Blackboard
(Assessment/Assignment 2) as well as a copy of the quantitative survey data.
Your task in" rel="nofollow">in this assignment is to produce a sin" rel="nofollow">ingle, multi-part report for the Senior Management Team that
outlin" rel="nofollow">ines your qualitative and quantitative fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings, that summarises these fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings, and then make
recommendations based on these fin" rel="nofollow">indin" rel="nofollow">ings.
