Thanks for sharing the latest data on our various human resource initiatives. Part of what I$\text{'}$m pushing us to do in this area is to be more focused in what we offer and

ensure that our choices are based on evidence. With this in mind, I've been reviewing the impacts of our talent development programs across the company. I think there is

a good opportunify to streamline what we do for our employees in RSD$.$ There are two current training initiatives in RSD that I think we need to evaluate with goal of oftering

only one of them next year.

From my evaluation it appears that the Design Thinking training program has reduced turnover by $2\%$ and increased productivity by $6\%.$ The other training program

$($Teaming with Excellence$)$ has reduced turnover by $4\%$ and increased productivity by $4\%.$ Our data show that every $1\%$ of tumover costs us $$1000$ per employee and every

$2\%$ of productiviy gains us $$1500$ per employee.

Assuming that these programs cost the same amount, which of the following conclusions can be drawn from these data?

The programs have comparable benefits so the program that costs less to delver should be retained.

Eliminating the Teaming with Excellence training program will reduce productivity more than eliminating the other program.

The Teaming with Excellence training program should be retained.

Eliminating the Design Thinking training program will reduce employee$-$related costs more than the eliminating other program.

The Design Thinking training program should be retained.
