- Design and development of a training programme is both time-consuming and expensive in the absence of professional expertise. The cost of designing a two-day programme may be anything between Rs. 5,000 to Rs.10,000 and the time may be around three to seven days. But the decades of hardcore HRD experience of IHRD professionals in the profession helps them to speed up the work for delivering the programme to their clients at the shortest possible time at affordable cost. Questions 1. Why is it that open programmes and customised programmes require different approaches in designing? 2 What are the major challenges in designing a training programme? 3.

This company manufactured a line of wooden toys. One part of the process involved spray painting partially assembled toys, after which the toys were hung on moving hooks that carried them through a drying oven. The operation, staffed entirely by women, was plagued with absenteeism, high turnover, and low morale. Each woman at her paint booth would take a toy from the tray beside her, position it in a fixture, and spray on the color according to the required pattern. She then would release the toy and hang it on the conveyor hook. The rate at which the hooks moved had been calculated so that each woman, once fully trained, would be able to hang a painted toy on each hook before it passed beyond her reach. The women who worked in the paint room were on a group incentive plan that tied their earnings to the…arrow_forward

The facilities have grown gradually over the years and considered one of the largest in the city. Although it is unionized, it has never experienced an employee layoff since its operation. Sister Lallaine Buenaobra, the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital for eight years, presented rather bleak financial picture during the most recent quarterly meeting of the board of directors or BOD. This, according to her, is the result of the declining occupancy rate brought about by the opening of the biggest government hospital in the province. This has affected the income of the hospital posting a net loss in its latest income statement. Such declines have not been unusual for this industry because of increasing competition. So far, the only response to these changes has been a tightening of requirements for equipment and supply purchases.…arrow_forward
