$7$ You will make a $12$ slide powerpoint presentation WITH SPEAKER NOTES. Each slide should have $2$ resources citatations. In this second project, you will assess an organization$$s training plan and recommend revisions to stakeholders. You will show your mastery skills with Assess the effectiveness of an organization$$s learning and development plan & Recommend a learning and development plan to stakeholders For this project, you are a human resource consultant working for HRUCanTrust Consulting. You have been with the firm a little over a year but have been working in HR for five years. Your role as a consultant gives you the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and projects, from recruiting the chief executive officer $($CEO$)$ of a firm to crafting a performance management process for a large automotive manufacturer. Your newest client, Martha$$s Marketing, is asking you to review their existing training and learning plan for their $75-$employee firm. After you review their plan, they want you to recommend any changes you would make for the upcoming year. After meeting with the CEO of Martha$$s Marketing as well as the management staff, you have the following notes and information to help you craft your proposal: $$ All $75$ employees participated in some job skills training in the previous year. All employees had mandatory training for compliance, and $10$ employees went to an outside training for leadership. Some sales training was conducted, but it was sporadic, and only about $20\%$ of the employees were able to complete it fully. $$ On the basis of employee insight survey data, only $40\%$ of the employees thought the training was $$worth their time$$ and $$relevant to the job.$$ Eighty$-$nine percent of employees rated training as important to their organizational happiness and overall retention. $$ Last year, the company spent $$90,000$ on training $($about $$1,200$ per person$).$ Overall, company performance has decreased $5\%$ in the past year. Seventy$-$eight percent of the employees were rated $$at target$$ or $$below target$$ during the last performance review cycle. $$ All training at the organization takes place on site and is conducted from the same vendor, Training Trailblazers. $$ Managers collectively agree that the training needs to transfer back to the job and needs to be measured for effectiveness.
