Question: Google's human resource management delivers training programs in various ways, such as discussions, simulations and on-the-job training. Discussions enable Google to maintain rich communications involving employees. With rich communications, training programs also benefit through maximum feedback from the trainees. The company uses simulations to facilitate creative responses. Simulations empower Google's employees to understand the details of work tasks, projects, and products. The company's HRM uses on-the-job training to maximize the transfer of knowledge to new hires or interns. Many of these interns are absorbed into Google's organization. Google's career development programs ensure that employees are given considerable opportunities for personal and professional growth in the company. Thus, the combination of the competitive compensation strategy and holistic career development programs supports the successful development of Google's human resources.

Discuss the importance of why on-the-job training would be important at Google and then outline one way you could improve the training and development practices at Google. Use examples in your discussion to further explain your answer.
