Versace company.
Rationale
As workforce is one of the major aspects of the organization that would assist the
organization in terms of achievement of success and growth. With the persistence of changes in
the business environment it is highly important that the organization would make changes in the
workforce in terms of enhancing their skills (Fuller and et.al., 2020). Here training would play an
important role in transforming the workforce. This is because with the aspect of training the
existing skills of the employees will be flourished and enhanced. This will also lead to the
development of many other new skills which would make their transformation and make them
efficient employees (Schaupensteiner, González and Borgmann, 2021). With this research the
skills of the employees will be raised that would further raise the importance of conducting the
study in this regard. It has been found to be one of the most specific factors, where workforce
transformation further enhances operative scope for extended new abilities based on optimum
working targets profoundly. Research findings also holds huge essential role, to determine new
end technical growth, for connected functional growth for connecting towards new productive
findings commercially among companies. As this research will include a perspective of both the
primary and secondary research which will lead to make a detailed analysis of the concept of
workforce transformation and the impact of training will be in-depth analysed.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Workforce Transformation:
As per the views of Fuller and et.al., (2020) workforce transformation is the process that
would lead to raise the skills and abilities of the employees. Workforce transformation is related
with the aspect of making an improvisation in workforce through making an improvisation in
their skills and working abilities. It will also lead to make a raise in their performance.
Fuller and et.al., (2020) also states that workforce transformation is an important aspect
with regard to company because it would enable it to meet the changes and changing situation
that are being occurred in the business environment. This would also assist the organization that
how the changes would be cope and meet with the efficient workforce. As workforce
3

transformation involve the enhancement of skill of the employees which would further assist eth
company in terms of meeting the competition of the market because it would lead to raise and
enhance the company’s performance. Within recent working aspects, usage of digital
technologies within companies workforce development has been evolving to bring on keen
functional growth, as per new range goals within extended domains. Covid pandemic has been
found to be one of the key phase, where usage of technology has signified commercial working
growth for extended vision oriented domains reach rapidly on extended parameters.
Concept of training:
Semwal and Dhyani, (2017) also states that training is an essential concept that is related
with the skills improvisation. training play an important role in making an improvisation in skills
of the employees. Training will be provided in various mode and form that may lead to raise the
performance of the employees. In the same way with the aspect of training employees will be
directed to make acceptance of changes. It will also lead to making an enhancement in their skill
and knowledge. Employees training would enable themselves as skilled and efficient that they
can meet changing need of situation along with assisting them in raising their performance.
Recent research also signifies that adopting usage of new advanced technologies, specifies
further pace to develop stronger platforms reach for trained workforce. Also, concept of digital
training further adds to extended determined growth for building motivated workforce and
engaging towards new technical domains extensively.
Rodriguez and Walters, (2017) also states that with the aspect of training, the company
would be assisted in terms of raising of efficiency and skills of the employees. This is because
through training employees will be given guidance and learning of the new skills that would
assist in enhancing their skills and efficiency. In same way through the mode of training it would
be easy for the organisation to bring and changes in the workplace in terms of making an
introduction of new technology and various other changes. In the same way through the mode of
training a new insight of performing the work would be enabled to the employees so that they
can make performance of work in an more efficient way. It would also lead to enable an
opportunity in terms of their career advancement because of the learning of new concept and
skills.
Impact of Training on Workforce transformation
4

Moen, Kojola and Schaefers, (2017) also elucidates that workforce transformation and
training is an important aspect that is highly related with each other. This is because with the
aspect of training the transformation in workforce would be able to get accomplished. This is
because training would lead to make the raising of skills which would act as an assistance that
will lead to make the transformation in workforce easy. Since workforce transformation includes
the improvisation of workforce with the mode of enabling them training so this would be right to
state that it is an important part in transformation of workforce.
Critically to this Fenech, Baguant and Ivanov, (2019) also states that although training
would lead to make a transformation in the workforce but at the same time it would lead to raise
the expenses of the company in term of raining of the cost. this is because the concept of training
would lead to make an involvement of huge cost that further be right to said that the
improvisation would be made at the bearing of cost but with no guarantee that whether it will
make accepted by the audience or not.
Foerster-Metz and et.al., (2018) also annotates that training and employee’s
transformation are interrelated with each other. This is because with the aspect of enabling
training to employees, they make a transformation which would come out as an making of
improvisation in the existing skills of the employees. This would further be related as training
will lead to make learning and development of knowledge that will further assist the concerned
organization to make workforce transformation with the enabling of skilled and efficient
workforce.
In the same way Illanes and et.al., (2018) also states that as workforce transformation
refers to making a change in the mode of working or making an improvisation in workforce skill
and abilities. This can be made enabled with the aspect of workforce training in an easy manner.
This is because through training the existing skills of the employees will be developed along
with development of new skills. This shows that the aspect of training and workforce
development are correlated with each other. In the same way through workforce transformation
the changes will be implemented in an organization which would be assisted with the concept of
training and skill development which would assist in implementing those changes.
Challenges in enabling training:
Nelson, and et.al., (2018) on the critical note states that while enabling training employees
will make a resistance to learn new things and concepts. This would lead to have a direct impact
5

towards the workforce transformation in terms of acting as a barrier. In the same way with the
aspect of training the employees will be expected to make learning and enhance their skill that
would be negatively taken by the employees in terms of raising of the work which would act as
biggest barrier in enabling training to employees. Recent research findings also build effective
data findings, where challenges such as optimistic working efficacy further forms keen working
engagement to be practically worked on. Companies investment is also increased significantly,
where this further forms keen role to determine key business goals, for training employees with
high business competences significantly as per new range of skills.
On the other hand, Vignesh, Sarojini and Vetrivel, (2018) also said that apart from the
perspective of employees the company may also face challenges with regard to the internal
management and operation of the company. This is related with the aspect of lack of resources or
the leadership. As no training would be enable by the company without the aspect of availability
of resources which would act as barriers in terms of enabling training to employees. In the same
way without the presence of guidance and adequate leadership the training will not be able to get
implemented among employees. This is because with the aspect of leadership an influence and
motivation among the employees will be created that would enable the company to execute
training. And in the absence of these aspects the challenge will arise in front of the organization
regarding the execution of training.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The aim of conducting research methodology, can be understood as one of the most significant
aspect for strengthened analysis of all research methods and approaches which will be
specifically used on by researcher. It can be also analysed research methodology will further
enable precise analysis of methods, and significant working expertise which will be practically
worked on for gaining complete accurate results (Basias and Pollalis, 2018).
Research type:
It refers to the type of research that is being implemented in the research. There are two types of
research type which can be segmented into qualitative and quantitative researches, where
qualitative research involves collection of theoretical data, concepts and opinions within
research. Quantitative research type analyses facts and figures, within format of numerical data
which is highly accurate for gaining data findings structured in accurate shape. Recent research
6

will be done by taking up qualitative research type, as it will make research findings easy and
competent accurate for further accurate results. In the same way through the concept of
qualitative research the aspect of training in relation with the workforce transformation will be
easy to understood that how it assists the transformation in terms of developing new skills
(Basias and Pollalis, 2018).
Research approach:
It refers to the process and procedure which is being adopted in the performance of
research. There are two research approaches, which are segmented into inductive and deductive
approaches. Inductive approach analyses theoretical data, structured up in effective format where
observations follow up to primitively bring on best results shaped. Under inductive research the
with the making an of observation of facts the data is analysed that will be followed up with the
formation of hypothesis and theory. Deductive research approach, on other hand uses facts and
premises already available for arriving at conclusion with high accuracy. This is just opposite
under which the existing theory is being made researched which will be followed up with the
formation of hypothesis and performance of observation. For recent research, inductive approach
will be taken to gain findings with high efficiency, and further explore generation of new theory
practically (Urcia, 2021). This will also assist in making an analysis of qualitative data in an in-
depth manner.
Research philosophy:
It refers to the belief of the researcher with regard to the facts and figures. There are two
types of research philosophies which are interpretivism and positivism, where interpretivism is
based on principle which states research is based and depends on optimum result. Under
interpretivism the researcher play an important role in terms of making an observation of the
facts and prescribing its own interpretation of the available facts. Positivism research philosophy
adheres to significant factual knowledge gained through observations, where thee is further pace
evolved. For recent research, interpretivism research philosophy will be used on for determining
accurate findings based on recent based findings. This will assist the research in adequate
analysis of training and workforce transformation.
Data collection:
This is one o9f the important step of research under which the most relevant data in association
with the research is collected. There are two types of data collection, where primary data
7

collection and secondary data collection are there. Primary data collection can be understood as
method, where it signifies data collected from first-hand sources. This data is collected directly
from source and thus counted as most authenticate form of data. Secondary data is based on
findings collected from second hand sources. This data is already available and collected. For
recent research, findings will be gain by using both primary and secondary data, which holds
huge significant importance to determine accurate information and data structured up in specific
format. This will assist the research to have an in-depth analysis of the concept and idea (Pandey,
and Pandey, 2021).
Data analysis:
This is also an important aspect that is related with the research under which the collected
data of the research will be analysed. The research will be analysed by using thematic analysis,
which will enable to determine findings based on expected working engagement for competitive
working performance improvise. Thematic data analysis will also technically enable research
findings to be optimally shaped up in structured format, with usage of themes and findings
displayed n charts. Using of thematic data in the research will lead to have an important role in
the research in terms of making an in-depth analysis of the collected data.
Sampling:
There are two types of sampling methods, which can be segregated into purposive and
non purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is where researcher relies on own judgment to
select participants for survey, and non purposive sampling is based on selecting random sample
from population of interest. For the recent research, purposive sampling will be used on for
further extending specific analysis and sample size will be 30 employees of managerial level.
Ethical considerations:
The recent research will be done by keeping up ethical parameters significantly accurate,
and also getting ethical format get signed from employees for gaining results based on working
efficacy parameters. Also, determining key findings to be ethically correct researcher will further
take up proper steps to make research highly accurate for attending proper crux of findings
(Nayan and Singh, 2021). The aspect of ethical consideration would also be implied in the
present research with the mode of signing of consent form from the responded. In the same way
8

it will be kept considered that the free consent will be taken from the responded with the
enabling of condition that they can make withdraw of their consent voluntary.
Validity and reliability:
The research within present study, will be worked on by keeping up validity and reliability
parameters highly structured up for determined accuracy significantly. There will be usage of
information, sourced from valid sources within online platforms and also prior focus by
researcher will be done of using only authentic information, which is precisely structured up for
extended paradigms. It can be also analyzed that reliable and validity holds huge importance to
get detailed results, for extended working rise based on stringent functional goals. By heading on
towards validity and reliability aspect, crux information utilized up will be highly valid
(Mohajan, 2018).
Limitations: There is limitation of time, resources which has been implemented in further
extended research and also research is limited to company Versace which makes findings
limited.

Discussion
From the above analysis it can be discussed that their transformation is one of the most
important process of organisation in order to grow and sustain in highly competitive environment
for many years. A workplace transformation is rethinking flexible workspace that is used to
accommodate different kinds of technology, work and labour that are performing various task
within the organisation. In the primary research, the respondent has been asked question related
to whether training and development is essential for employees in context of brining workplace
transformation. This has helped in learning that proper training and guidance has helped
employees in completing their respective task in effective manner. Moreover, they have been
asked question related to when actual the changes or transformation in workplace has been taken
place within Versace company (Justice and et.al., 2020). So, from the answer of respondent, it
has been drive that company every years make changes in its workplace with an motivate to
promote innovation, improve its brand image and market share. In the questionnaire it has also
being discussed about the all the benefits that company is enjoying through promoting
transformational changes in its working environment. Likewise, the first and foremost benefits is
that it contributed in improve the current skills, knowledge and capabilities of employees so that
they can easily completed their respective task. Another benefits that company gain through
workplace transformation is that it can easily bring changes in organisation through influencing
employees to adapt themselves as per external environment so that it can enjoy higher profit
margin and market share (Lundgren and et.al., 2017).
In addition to this, it can be discussed from the above analysis, that most of the respondent
has stated yes to the statement that transformation and training are related to each other’s. On
the other hand, there are only few individuals that has selected no options and cannot say, so
from their point of view training helps in brining transformation in the organisation easily and in
effective manner. Along with it, there are many information that has been extracted through the
questionnaire being asked to the respondent. Such as, training on workplace transformation has
positive impact on organisation such as it energizes firm, foster emotional commitment and build
strong brand image (Stevenson and Hannaford, 2019). For examples: through brining
workplace changes, Versace company, it able to build easily create or establish its brand image
in mind and hearts of the customers in most effective manner. The study has also helped in
18

understanding that employees are being inspired to think more innovative ideas that could be
used by organisation to delivered qualitative services to customers beyond their expectancy.
It can be interpreted that in bringing the workplace transformation, there are number of
challenges that company face likewise high resistance from employees as they are not ready to
accept new method of techniques to do task. At the same time, Versace company has limited
financial resources that acts as barriers in brining changes within the organisation. But among all
of them, the major key issue face by firm is continuous delivering training to employees as it
results in wasting a lot of time as well as energy. Therefore, the manager of firm needs to find
alternative method that could be used by the firm to overcome the challenges and contributed in
growth of enterprise (Faller, Marsick and Russell, 2020). Furthermore, through the study it has
also analysed and discussed that there are number of strategies that are used by company to
promote workplace transformation. Among which investing in people and training program was
most successful as it helps in guiding people related to the way task need to be completed. In
addition to this, it was also identified that making use of different motivational techniques by the
manager of Versace company will influence people to effectively take steps to bring changes in
the workplaces.
REFLECTION
While making an analysis of the above method in the concerned research I had understood
that how the selection of most appropriate methodology would play an important role in the
research. As in this research I had made an application of qualitative research which enable me
to understand that although it plays an important role in performing the in-depth analysis of the
research but with the adoption of the quantitative method the research would be able to get
performed with the mode of making an analysis of the numeric facts and figures. With this
research I had developed the research skill and the communication skill. This research has also
helped me in developing the analytical skill through which I can make analysis of the data. This
would play an important role in my future with respect to performing the analysis in future.
While making my analysis I had understood that how with the aspect of use of research
methodology the research can be moved to the right direction in terms of making an attainment
of its objectives (Schnepfleitner and Ferreira, 2021). I have understood that how the aspect of
workforce transformation would play an important role in company in terms of making the
19

employees efficient with respect to learning of new skills and methods of performing the work so
that not only the work would be efficiently performed but at the same time they would also get
developed in terms of raised efficiency.
This research also helped me to know the aspect of training that how with the use of most
suitable training the workforce would be developed. I had understood the various mode of
training and its role from the perspective of organization. I had learned about the other mode of
collecting data like interviews and quantitative mode under which with the help of descriptive
mode the data would be analysed in more depth. This research also helped me to know the
details about the Versace company that how it makes operation of its work with respect to
meeting the need of its customers. This research enables to learn various skills and grab
knowledge along with identifying my weak points that is associated with the research.
Alternative research methods and lesson learned
The alternative method that can be used to make performance of research with respect to the
above research would be quantitative method under which with the aspect of making an analysis
of the numeric facts and figure the research would be made performed in a detailed and accurate
manner (Apuke, 2017). As per the alternative method the numeric data would be able to get
analysed that would further raise the authenticity of the research in terms of making an
inculcation of facts and figures. Likewise, with the concerned methodology the other method of
data collection has also developed through this research that may include the interview method
under which an interview would be conducted between the interviewer and the responded. As
this would include a direct interaction between the concerned personnel which would play an
important role in research in terms of making an in-depth analysis.
The lesson learned from the above research would include the learning of various skill that
