Scenario
Continuing from the Strategy, Planning, and Selection assignment, you were selected as the new HR director for the retail company and now have been in the position for approximately six months. Your approach to strategy, planning, and selection have been quite successful thus far, and now it is time to address the organization’s expectation for performance and development of employees since these components of HR strategy are critical in achieving business outcomes and success.
Instructions
Write a five-page paper in which you do the following:
Provide an abstract or introduction. Note the abstract is not included in the required page count.
Critically analyze and discuss any researched (web or textbook) training process model you may consider for use in developing employees (Here’s an idea: The Addie Model or exhibit 7-1, page 230 in the textbook). Then, identify and discuss some possible challenges that might be faced in implementing a new training process in the company.
List and discuss at least three types or methods of training that can be used for employee training. Then, of the three, which would you select to train the retail employees and why? Be very specific.
Differentiate the concepts of performance management and performance appraisal with three to four key points. Then, make your case to leadership for or against using annual performance appraisals in the organization. Be specific with your perspective.

NOTE: It goes without saying that articles from academic journals from Strayer Universitys library or other academic research libraries are considered high quality academic sources that should be considered as your assignment sources. Also, business and professional consulting firm websites may be used as sources. However, under no circumstances will “everyday” websites be used as quality research just because they provide HR information.
