Description
Propose an Employee and Supervisory Development Program 450 words
Think about your own experiences with training and development. What organizational commitments to employee training and development have you witnessed? Is it an issue of return on investment (ROI) where training has not demonstrated the impact it has on the bottom line? Is this ROI true for your organization?Consider the following scenario:
A recent reorganization at your organization has given many people differing duties and responsibilities – some in which they have had little training of any kind. The CEO of the company is concerned that the organization has not done enough to prepare and train its employees for these new and expanded roles. You have been asked to review the training and development program within the organization. You find that newly hired employees do not have the skills required for a changing work environment.
Also, you quickly learn that employees are frequently promoted into a supervisory position based mostly on their technical abilities rather than on their potential as a supervisor and the soft-skills needed to lead teams and supervise employees. You have a wide ranging mix of young and old, experienced and green, and highly productive and less than average individuals in supervision. Many current supervisors and managers have not had any formal supervisory training in over five years. The company president sees this as a serious shortcoming for the future of the organization.
Write a proposal for a comprehensive training program for both employees and first-line supervisors. Your proposal needs to incorporate the components necessary for a successful training and development program for these two groups of employees. Review current research and identify best practices in training and development for organizations.
NOTE:The proposal should be written as a paper. Do not use an outline format.
Support your proposal with at least five (5) resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Abstract
Continuous change is very important and is a reality to a global business community at
this time when the world economy is struggling to face its new fiscal reality. As a result of this
policy, we live in a world and economy where change can sustain economies. Organizations
around the globe are thus struggling to remain competitive in this economy which is ailing.
Many organizations are thus struggling and scrambling to reorganize in a fight for survival and
thus must develop strategically by developing employee’s supervisory and development
program.
The supervisory development program
Businesses have a reason to improve the supervisory programs as part of an attempt to
build an overall competitive strategy and organizational sustainability (Thornton et al, 2017).
This study, therefore, presents a proposal for a comprehensive program for all the employees in
their organization. In addition, this study proposes an employee development program which
incorporates those components that are necessary for a program of this type to be successful
(Sonnenstuhl & Trice, 2018). This study will thus address the frequent employee promotion into
the supervisory position which is based on the technical ability rather than the potential of the
same employee considering the workforce diversity.
The rate of change in an organization is not going to slow any time in the current
competitive environment. It is even supposed to increase with time because of the competition
which many industries are undergoing requires a positive change. One of the main factors of this
program employee development (Bell et al, 2017). This program lies in the in the heart of the
performance of an organization as well as its competitive advantage. There is always a good
