CORPORATE TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

PREREQUISITES OVERVIEW: Corporate training and development does not happen by itself, nor does it happen in a vacuum. Although these prerequisites do not have to be complete to have the vital T&D function operational, the more established they are, the more effective T&D can be in reaching corporate goals of readiness, quality and resilience in the marketplace.

• Established (Published) Vision and Goals

  • T&D Staff Involvement: Short Term vs. Long Term Strategies
  • Employment Attitude: Contracts and Commitments
  • Integration of Systems: Recruitment, Appraisal, T&D, Promotion, Bonus, Succession, Etc.
