New Employee Training Plan-All Managers are HR Managers
All managers are HR managers. In small businesses, managers handle many of the day to day HR tasks,
especially training and developing employees. Refer to our semester-long case study. Develop a training
plan for a new employee at a Hardware store. The employee will primarily be working as a cashier, but
will also assist customers on the sales floor.
Identify at least 10 training topics. Be sure to include training topics that may be legally required (refer
to your text for ideas) as well as job-specific duties. Explain why you selected each topic and support
your choices using outside resources.
This assignment should be 3 to 4 pages. Be sure to include the following:
• Introduction (brief, 1 paragraph)
• Explanation of why training and onboarding is important, support with outside resources (1
paragraph)
• Identify 10 training topics for the new employee and provide a brief (1 to 2 sentence explanation)
about why you picked each topic. For example:
o Cashier register training – Learning how to use the register is a key task based on the job
description. Ensuring accurate use of the cash register will ensure customers do not
experience errors when they check out.
• Identify 2 to 3 future developmental activities for the new cashier and support your choices with
outside resources (2 paragraphs)
• Conclusion recaps the main points of the paper and has a thoughtful summary of what you
learned from this assignment (1 paragraph)
• At least 3 peer-reviewed, academic outside resources are integrated throughout the paper to
support points made.
