Case Study: The ABC Training Program

1.) The ABC Corporation has been engaged in the manufacture of electronic components for automobiles for the last 5 years. The company employs 350 employees and about 30 supervisors and managers. The increase in technology requires that employees be sent to training to cope with the increasing demand for updated new products consistent with the demand of local and foreign customers.

2.) The HR Manager suggested that 3 of the managers and 8 supervisors be sent to the mother company in Japan for updates in technology on car electronics. The VP for Finance and the Operations Manager opposed the recommendation on the basis of cost cutting and lack of personnel to handle the operations while they were away for 2 months. They suggested that technicians from the mother company be invited instead to handle the training in the Philippines. The cost of training by the mother company would double the cost of training as they are paid higher allowances and salaries that will be charged to the local company.

3.) Discuss your course of action as HR Manager.
