As many of you have noticed, our employee morale has decreased significantly. We have also seen an increase in turnover rates wand low productivity levels from all our new hires. Recently I scheduled meetings and focus groups to get to the root of the rising issues our company is facing. Our employees feel that we do not provide sufficient training to help them do their jobs. They are relying heavily on their co-workers to aid them through their work-day. They believe that our current training process of employee shadowing is outdated and do not reflect the learning styles of others. I suggest that we make changes to our training design process. I have gathered some research of innovative training modules that should be considered. …show more content…
(Managing Performance through Training and Development.) I also want them to be able to have a meaningful relationship with their trainers and other employees. I want the employees to acquire the training that ensures that they have verbal information and intellectual skills. The training module should also follow up on the training it is completed to ensure mistakes are reduced and work productivity is increased. I would want them to develop declarative knowledge, knowledge compilation and procedural knowledge. As in turn those employees will one day become the trainers when they have mastered each skill and duty of their job. I believe that overlearning will help achieve this. Employees should observe other behaviors, have a can do attitude and be able to manage their own behaviors. It will establish a sense of trust and acceptances from employees. It is also important to figure out what keeps them motivated to maintain their morale. Other success factors of blended learning include employees ' motivation, technological skills and time. To motivate employees to participate in blended learning, employees need to know that the content delivered by blended learning is both relevant and useful to their jobs. Pull and push strategies can be used, too (Moshinskie, 2001).Moshinskie (2001) describes push as requiring the completion of a course and monitoring progress. Pull strategies are an attempt to inspire the employees to utilize the training content and skills by providing interesting information prior to the training and keeping the training interactive and interesting.

Darren Turner RWK0039 Understanding good practice in workplace coaching Understand the context for effective workplace coaching AC 1.1 Describe and define the purpose of workplace coaching Coaching is an increasingly popular tool for supporting personal development in individuals as it tends to be carried out in a one to one situation and is seen as less formal as training.

There is no room for inconsistency (Thompson, S., n.d). There need to be measurable goals for each person to hold them accountable for their achievements and also to assess where they need to improve. If training or clarification is needed, management needs to work with the employee or team to establish a need for action. This will address the training is a haphazard issue. Employees might have transferred from other departments or come from other facilities.
We believe that Permalco can rid this overarching issue by focusing on their selection process and engaging employees. To improve their selection process, we suggest that they utilize the four-fifths rule and provide candidates with a realistic job preview. To further engage and develop their employees, we suggest that, among other things, Permalco should adopt a mentorship program to help new employees (and current employees for that matter) acclimate to the Permalco environment and culture. We believe that following the aforementioned steps will improve their high turnover rate and overall production, but more importantly, it will lead to more satisfied

In reviewing section 15.2 of the contract; “Probationary employees shall move up one (1) step in the pay grade after six (6) months employment”. Now with many of the transit employees placed in step 1 as a result of them advancing two pay grades. When a new employee is hired and completes six months of employment, they will move up one step this will cause a disparity due to the fact a new employee will advance to the next step while we have senior employees still waiting for their anniversary date for the increase and or on the same step as more senior staff and advancing at the same rate. This may also result in new employees advancing ahead of them in future step increases. At this time I’m unaware of anyone being hired at the transit department
