In this exercise, you will apply your new knowledge about learning principles and consider ways to effectively train an employee, given practical considerations.

You are consulting for a supermarket chain that asked you to design the curriculum for a one-day training session for entry-level retail salespeople. If you would like the formal description of tasks and KSAOs necessary for this job, visit O*NET Online, job code #41.2031.00, at https://online.onetcenter.org/link/summary/41-2031.00.

A few things to keep in mind:

  • Trainees have limited job experience and will begin working in a retail store tomorrow, which is the first day of the holiday shopping season.
  • Your store has a strong reputation within its industry for excellent customer service and low prices. Salespeople do not receive commission on sales, and the work environment is characterized as highly collaborative and cooperative.
  • The following tasks and KSAOs must be addressed during a training session that will last approximately eight hours (8:30 AM to 5:00 PM):
    • Customer service
    • Cash register operation
    • Organizational culture
    • Inventory management
  • The trainees are likely to be between the ages of 18 and 25, and it is crucial to keep them engaged. Tell students that the company wants them to be creative and consider things like multimedia videos, simulations, and so on.

For each component of training, you should explain why you chose a specific methodology to train the employees. Also, remember to clearly link the training components to the KSAOs or tasks that are necessary for successful performance on the job.
