Human Resource Management

Case Study of Chapter 7

Training at Keller-Globe

1. Evaluate Keller-Globes approach to training.
Keller-Globes approach to training program is quite satisfactory as
they are taking care of reactions from the workers. They are going
to provide proper training to the workers before they install new
presses in the factory.
As the production manager mentioned that he will arrange a pre-
training for Lau McGowen and later on the manufacturing company
would send a trainer to train all the workers before all the machines
are installed in the factory.
This is actually a very wise decision made by the production manager
in order to increase the production and also keeping the proper
training of workers prior to change in concern. This way he would
achieve his goals in a very balanced way with virtually minimum
conflicts and problems.
Career vs Job Security

1. Is J.D concerned more with job security or career security?
Discuss.

I think J.D is more concerned about building a career security than
job security. In todays world, being agile is the smartest move, as
the economy and industries are in constant flux. People talk about
the importance of job security, but that is meaningless. There are
plenty of jobs, if youre really that good youll find another. Career
security is far more valuable. And, you achieve career security
through building a strong personal brand. Building career security,
not job security and showcasing your results/expertise its
empowering. You will connect with other like-minded, passionate
people and help each other with projects, help each other spread
ideas and make change in our world. Its the difference between
being average and being remarkable.




2. Do you agree with J. Ds statement that: Your knowledge is
your portfolio within your current workplace or within the
industry? Discuss.
Human Resource Management

I do agree with this statement because your knowledge about your
job/management is an ongoing process, you have to be a proactive
person of what you do and know so you can take charge of your
position and build more skills and industry knowledge to yourself.
You have to research your industry so you know what it is
happening at the moment so you can be able to make informed
decisions. Look for trends, so you can start training yourself in
those areas. Knowledge is power, having the right skills at the right
time ensures that no matter what is happening around you, you will
be needed and employable.
