Corporate T&D Best Practices Activity

STEP 1: Research and examine what you can find on companies regarding their training practices. Search widely as you may not necessarily find enough information just from the company’s website. Also, consult popular press and trade publications (i.e., newspaper articles, T&D trade publications).

Some possible companies to consider exploring include (an extensive but certainly not exhaustive list):

Saturn Ford Pepsi Google Apple General Electric

Harley Davidson McDonalds General Mills

Southwest Airlines Coca-Cola Toyota

Four Seasons Cheesecake Factory Starbucks

Wal-Mart Chick-Fil-A General Motors

Procter & Gamble Zappos Verizon

STEP 2: Identify three best practices that are related to training and development specifically (not simply best practices of the organization like being environmentally friendly).

One each from three different companies, not three from the same company.

STEP 3: Complete the activity worksheet below, using as much space as necessary. Be as precise and detailed as possible with your responses.
