HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT1
Introduction
In this essay, the aim will be to implement the topic of training and development in
the aircraft company of Adam O’Meara. He is the CEO of Swift Airways. The company is
based in Australia, and is 17 years old, and has its subsidiaries in China, Singapore and
Vietnam. They manufacture as well as sell aircrafts to 50 countries around the world.
Different parts of the aircrafts are produced in China and Vietnam and most of the design
engineers work outside Singapore. The aircrafts are assembled in Australia and Singapore
(Black et al 2015).
Training and Development – Importance and Effects
The employees are the heart and soul of any company or organization. Therefore, it is
extremely essential for the organization to provide the workers a proper training after the
recruitment process as it helps to retain their high calibre. Knowledge, skills as well as self-
development are considered to be very important for every single person. Training programs
should be made available to all staff throughout the entire group. Nowadays online trainings
are also accessible besides the offline ones like seminars and conferences. This helps the
employees not only to develop themselves but to stay acquainted about the company’s
upgrades. The Swift Airways has a number of training programs but implementation is not
being carried out properly (Elnaga and Imran 2013). The employees are having several issues
with their career development programs. This is demoralizing them to build self-confidence
and improve independent working skills when they leave the organization. For instance, an
employee named Alice Morgan, who is a mechanical engineer, complains of her difficulties
to adjust, cope up with and settle in her workplace when shifted to a new city like Singapore.
Hence, career development programs help to empower the workers with necessary skills and
broaden their scope and competence in particular job aspects (Cohen 2017).
