Employee Training and Development in ABC Company

From a strategic perspective, employee training and development are a key investment for organizations. Therefore, the main objective of this bachelor's thesis is to propose recommendations for optimizing the employee training and development system at ABC company. Partial objectives include summarizing the main theoretical backgrounds, assessing employee satisfaction with training and development at company ABC, and identifying strengths and weaknesses of the current training and development system. The thesis utilized qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews, with the participation of 100 % of the selected company's employees. Secondary sources, primarily provided internal documents, were simultaneously included in the research. Furthermore, the gathered information was processed through thematic analysis, including open, axial, and selective coding, and document analysis. The research revealed deficiencies across all phases of the systematic training cycle, employee dissatisfaction with the current training offerings and their workload and demonstrated a prevalence of the system's weaknesses over its strengths. Based on these findings, recommendations were made, such as in-person trainings with experts, language courses, the introduction of appraisal interviews, a proposal for improving the training effectiveness evaluation form, and the creation of a written annual training and development plan. In the long term, these proposals will improve the efficiency of employees' work and lead to their higher satisfaction.
