Designing an HRD Program & Lesson Plan
Background:
You are an HR Manager for your company, SwiftRun shoes, which makes shoes for track and field runners. Your company is getting ready to introduce a new checkout system at your 200 U.S. retail locations, located in various areas throughout all 50 states. The checkout system is what your customer service associates who show and sell running shoes to the customers use for having the customer pay for their order. The new system is being introduced because it will be able to scan and price the merchandise faster, secure better data for the company, and print the customer a detailed receipt. As the HR Manager for SwiftRun shoes, you have been asked to conduct a needs assessment and then design a training program to train each of the 200 Store Managers on the new checkout system, which will be put into the stores in six months.
Your Assignment:
Submit a 1.5-2 page paper AND Lesson Plan (your paper should be double-spaced, 12 font Times New Roman) to address how you would conduct the needs assessment and design the HRD training program on the new checkout system for the 200 Store Managers. You will need to reference the Ch.5 textbook and PowerPoint for this assignment. You may also use external sources, and cite any sources used. Make sure that you address the six items below, which are the key activities in HRD design. Add a Lesson Plan of your training to the end of your paper. The Lesson Plan is separate and does NOT count toward the 1.5-2 pages.
