The report
Introduction
As requested by the Managing Director, a Committee was set up to examine staff attitudes towards enhanced training. The Committee sent out a survey to all staff members and this report is based on their answers.
Finding
The survey showed that six staff members were taking work-related courses. Furthermore, it was discovered that all six of them were from the senior management and no junior staff members were taking work-related training. The latter responded they were not participating in work-related training mainly because of the cost of such courses. In addition, junior staff members did not believe that such extra efforts would bring them any reward or appreciation. Consequently, they did not feel motivated to devote their time and energy to enhanced training.
Conclusion
The Committee concluded that moral and financial support would encourage junior staff members to take enhanced training. It also remarked that staff members who took enhanced training needed to be reassured that their efforts would be highly valued by the company .
Recommendations
Therefore, the Committee recommends that funding should be allocated to sponsor junior staff members who take work-related training courses. In addition, it is also strongly recommended that the company should show its appreciation by giving a bonus to those staff members who successfully complete their course(s).
