Having picked training as the best solution, the next step is planning how the training will ensure that the desired results are attained. The management will arrange for a specific day that the training will take place and the employee’s opinions will be considered. Trainers with a good reputation will be sort, and the management will communicate the issues facing the company to them to help them plan for the training adequately. The next step is selecting a training venue manager; to ensure that the employees enjoy the training session, the management will arrange for an outdoor team-building event with different team-building activities (Meister et al., 2018).
