Conduct another web search for companies that have recently (2019 or 2020) made the list of one of the following: Best Companies to Work For byFortunemagazine, the ASTD BEST Awards, orTrainingmagazine’s Best Companies for Training. Select three companies noted for best practices in management or leadership development to research for this assignment. (You can use some of the same companies from assignment 1 as long as you are providing new information.) For this assignment, you will describe what these best-practices companies do indevelopingtheir employees. In addition to the information provided by these sources, look for information in secondary articles and the companies’ websites.
In your report (approx. 3-5 pages), give an introduction to the assignment, describe the purpose of the assignment, and introduce the three companies you chose. Summarize your findings for each of the selected companies (how/why selected, brief overview of what the company does, describe itsdevelopmentpractices, how these practices relate to the organization’s purpose or mission, etc.). When describing the companies’developmentpractices, please don’t just list what they do, give a description of the specific management and/or leadership development practices…what they do, how, when, why, how long, which employees participate,etc. In closing, summarize your personal impressions of the discussed development programs. Be sure to include a separate page with your references.
TIP: When selecting companies for these assignments, you may want to make sure there is enough information out there for the assignment. Simply introducing the company because it was on the list and saying there was no more information or details will not be sufficient.
***Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the differences in training practices vs. development practices before completing these assignments.
