Week 6 Assignment 1 – Learning Activity: Developing an Employee Training Session

Completing this activity will help you prepare for the upcoming assignment in Week 9; as practice for the assignment, you should focus on content, not formatting. 

Imagine you are a new employee in an HR department. Your first task is to develop a plan for an employee training session on stress management.

• Identify specific, relevant topics that should be covered during the training session, with justification.
• Describe proven methods of tracking employee attendance and dealing with employees who do not attend or participate in mandatory training.
• Develop detailed criteria to assist in selecting a vendor to use for the stress management training session.
• Provide a well-reasoned explanation for why one of these training methods is most effective: presentations, case studies, simulations, and discussions.
