Assignment: Corporate T&D Best Practices Activity
STEP 1: Research and examine what you can find on companies regarding their training practices. Search widely as you may not necessarily find enough information just from the company's website. Also, consult popular press and trade publications (i.e., newspaper articles, T&D trade publications).
Some possible companies to consider exploring include (an extensive but certainly not exhaustive list):
Saturn Ford Pepsi
Google Apple General Electric
Harley Davidson McDonalds General Mills
Southwest Airlines Coca-Cola Toyota
Four Seasons Cheesecake Factory Starbucks
Wal-Mart Chick-Fil-A General Motors
Procter & Gamble Zappos Verizon
STEP 2: Identify three best practices that are related to training and development specifically (not simply best practices of the organization like being environmentally friendly).
One each from three different companies, not three from the same company.
