Question 1
Strategic Training and Development is vital to sustainable business
growth and success. Organisations go through lengthy
processes to recruit and onboard qualified and suitable employees,
but often the emphasis stops there, with some business
leaders disregarding the importance of developing their employees
and nurturing their potential. Over the past few years,
the world of work has been disrupted, initially and gradually, by
the onset of the 4th Industrial Revolution and this
disruption
was accelerated by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Throughout these disruptions and transitions, training and
development is required to play a strategic role in shaping
the
future of work and impacting how businesses develop and engage with
their employees and the business environment.
- In the context of this statement, you are required to select an
organisation that you are familiar with and both its internal
and external business environment in which it operates. Conduct a
critical analysis of this business environment and
answer the following questions.
- The discussion should provide clear reference to the
organisational context and extensive application of relevant
theory.
The organisation has been struggling to find the suitable HRD
professionals, who possess
appropriate competencies to drive training and development
initiatives. To resolve this challenge,
analyse the challenges to the HRD application in the organisation
and assess the roles and
competencies of an HRD professional, to educate the newly appointed
HRD Director on how to
search for perfect candidates.
