Training Plan

Criteria

The criteria for the training plan will need to be aligned with the strategic objectives of the firm. In this case, it is known the safety and service are two key strategic objectives, the first to prevent losses and the second because that is how the company will differentiate itself from the other limousine companies in the area. As such, the training criteria will be based on ensuring that these two objectives are met -- the company has to align the training with the strategy with which it intends to compete in the marketplace (Beaver & Hutchings, 2005).

Monitoring and Observing Training

The training will be on-the-job training, conducted by experienced people. This may have to be Bradley initially -- he's in charge, so if there is nobody else it is his responsibility for ensuring that the drivers understand the safety and service standards of the company.
