Good Men to do Nothing

No doubt Ms. Dillman should have been more fully trained, both in the fabric shop and in the sheet metal shop. So the root issue here is that Dillman never did receive adequate training, and that is obvious before any consideration of a TNA (training needs analysis). However, when Mr. Pettipas erupted and launched his tirade, the union should have immediately stepped in to assist in this matter, and at that time it would have been entirely appropriate for a training needs analysis.

She was working in a hostile, male-centric workplace and received "minimal training" in addition to being the victim when Pettipas played his sexist games. She should have been given background (formal) educational training so she could accumulate knowledge; she should have been given hands-on skills; and her abilities should have been reviewed by HR in a normal, professional assessment process.

Question THREE: The commission may have missed the point although training the whole company was not a bad idea. But there were two serious problems in this scenario that could have and should have been handled in-house.….....
