Class: HR Mgmt – Current Perspectives in Training and Development

Answer each question separately.

Question 1

Blanchard and Thacker (2013) state that on-the-job training is “the most frequently used training method” (p. 225). Have you experienced any on-the-job training? If so, were any of Gagne-Briggs’ Nine Events incorporated into the training? Describe the training and how some or all of Gagne’s events were incorporated.

Question 2

You have been asked to develop a diversity awareness training session for managers. This will be the first in a series. The goal of this first session is to introduce the company’s policy regarding diversity and the importance of having a workplace that embraces diversity and inclusiveness. Review the examples of learning objectives in the Writing Good Learning Objectives (I-TECH, 2010) reading, then write two specific learning objectives for the session and discuss why you think they will ensure that the training goal is achieved.
