    Analysis
    Dennis is the newly hired HR manager of Finest Company, an advertising company that has existed
    for 20 years now and has garnered many awards locally. When the company was just starting,
    employees had the greatest ideas and seemed very passionate about their jobs. But as technology
    began to emerge in the industry, some pioneer employees found it hard to catch up with new trends.
    As the company still holds on to its former glory, they still believe in their people and neither hire
    additional employees nor add equipment to save on expenses. If you are Dennis, what would you do
    to bring back Finest Company to the limelight again?

    If I were Dennis, I would implement at least four steps as a solution to employees catching up with
    new trends in order to restore the company's prominence. First, I would hold a seminar to help employees
    cross the bridge and become comfortable with the new technology required in the company, as well as to
    help them understand how it makes their work better and easier. Second, unless complicated technology
    is the most efficient and productive, I would advise the board of directors to select critical yet user-
    friendly technology, demonstrating that such technology is not onerous or difficult to use. Third, I would
    show how the new technology provides economic and rational benefits to both the organization and the
    individual by increasing productivity and reducing employee workload. Finally, I would reward
    employees who choose to adopt new technology in such a way that employees receive financial
    incentives and recognition in order to encourage other employees to follow suit.

    Design
    As a Consultant under a Training Provider Company, Micah received a call confirming a seminar-
    workshop for artists worldwide. Being one of the most prestigious clients they have for this year,
    Micah wanted the event to be a blast. The following were the requirements: Both physical and
    online training should be provided at the same time; all participants will be given art materials to
    use during the seminar/workshop; and the entrance fee is about P500. All other things were freely
    planned by her. As she designs the training program, what other things should she consider?

    If I were Micah, I would consider using Design Thinking, which is a method for finding the most
    human-centered solution to any problem or question. It works by assessing and comprehending the
    requirements of the stakeholders before providing solutions to those requirements. Micah should consider
    finding resource artists who have won awards and are world-class competitors in addition to designing the
    program, because artists from all over the world will attend the seminar and workshop. Micah should also
    consider appointing heads and members to various committees, such as registration, finance, publication,
    marketing, sponsorship, and lodging.

    Development
    Upon developing the training program that was created by a resigned employee, Andy, the new
    Training Staff, was tasked to continue the former employee’s work. Upon reviewing the next
    training that will be conducted two (2) months from now, he found out that the former employee
    suggested three (3) methods of training but forgot to mention which method she used. The training
    to be held is about wellness, and the three (3) methods mentioned were seminar, Zumba, and
    workshop. If the audience of the training ranges from all ages, what would you choose to execute
    the training program? Why?

    Given that the wellness training will be attended by people of various ages, I would prefer to
    conduct a workshop rather than a seminar and Zumba. Seminars are designed to provide information by
    discussing a specific topic and are only appropriate for older people, whereas Zumba is a fitness program
    that combines music with dance moves and is designed for relatively young to middle-aged participants.
    For a wellness training that aims to educate through both theories and application, I believe that
    developing a workshop is the best option. The workshop is effective for attendees of all ages because it
    combines expert lectures with extensive execution and enactment of the lecture with peers attending the
    same workshop.

    Implementation
    As Daniel leads the team prepare for training in a remote resort in Batangas, he noticed that on the
    same day, there will be a large typhoon coming and will pass through the resort. However, the
    delegates are already in the resort, and the meeting starts in 2 hours. If you are Daniel, what are the
    things you will do to ensure that the 2-day training will prosper while ensuring the safety of the
    people and the success of the training?

    If I were Daniel, I would do the following to ensure that the 2-day training goes ahead despite the
    typhoon while also ensuring the safety of all participants. First and foremost, I will require everyone to
    remain on the highest level of the building in the resort where the training will take place. Second, no one
    shall be permitted to leave the building because everyone is required to remain indoors to participate in
    the training, and guards shall be assigned at the entrance and exit doors to ensure strict implementation.
    Third, I will discuss and explain why it is critical to follow the above rules because the overall
    effectiveness of security measures is dependent on an organization's ability to effectively communicate
    safety and security. Lastly, because the training begins in two hours and there is still power, I will
    communicate with the Disaster and Risk Reduction Management in Batangas, informing them of the
    number of people present, the location of the resort, and the importance of possible rescue if things get
    out of hand due to the typhoon passing through the resort.

    Evaluation
    The HR Manager in Excellent Corporation conducted training last week on ways and tips on how
    to increase productivity at work, and everyone got inspired. Three (3) months after the training,
    there has been a large rate of turnover, and employees returned to their old habits, thinking that
    even if they did great today, nothing good would ever happen to them. Upon evaluating the
    training, what do you think is the problem, and what would you recommend?

    The issue is a lack of motivation among employees, which can be effectively addressed by
    conducting regular progress evaluations and implementing penalty and reward systems. As an HR
    Manager, I would first recommend that a regular evaluation of progress in terms of the actions that lead to
    productivity be conducted in order to consistently inspire everyone to continue their good practice.
    Second, effective penalties or punishments are imposed on those who fail in the evaluation in order to
    discourage a certain undesirable behavior of non-consistency or non-performance of actions leading to
    productivity. Third, recognizing or rewarding those who succeed in the evaluation encourages everyone
    to be consistent in their behavior, motivates employees to be persistent, and makes employees feel valued
    at work.
