Start by exploring some websites or online annual reports for some Fortune 500 companies. Pay particular attention to the mission statements of the companies as well as what information you can gather from the website or annual report about training and development at the company. Find an example of two of the following items:
A company that describes a training and development policy that seems to support the mission statement.
A company that describes a training and development policy that seems to neither support nor be in conflict with the mission statement.
A company that describes a training and development policy that seems to be in conflict the mission statement.
As a team, write one paper that describes your findings from above and addresses the following questions:
What are the likely results of a training and development policy that supports the company mission? Particularize this answer to the company you chose as an example.
What are the likely results of a training and development policy that does not support, or even conflicts with, the company mission? Particularize this answer to the company you chose as an example.
