FedEx Canada: Employee Training and Development
Career progression in today’s workplaces is dependent on the employer’s drive to ensure avenues exist for the process. In many enlightened companies, employee training uses short courses (Chaudhary & Bhaskar, 2016). In FedEx Canada, employee training and development is essential in ensuring that services provided are synonymous with the current market trends. Consequently, an analysis of employee training and development must occur to determine the company’s readiness.
Discussion
Training in the workplace occurs to ensure high output rates are realized in the workplace. In a highly demanding and human-intensive enterprise as shipping that FedEx undertakes, it is vital that employee development is periodical and tailored to suit the prevailing needs. The necessity prompted the management to set up a leadership development and training center in the 1980s, which has aided the company in workforce education and training (Rao & Singh 2017). This action helped catapult the company in better rankings among lucrative workplace grading.
In various FedEx subsidiaries worldwide, there have been frameworks to ensure that the workforce’s development occurs Fedex.com. (2020). For instance, AIM a term used to refer to advance into management program purposes to develop FedEx employees to take up management positions in the company. The actions are necessary for the quest to ensure that the company provides resilient services to its clientele.
Okechukwu (2017) posits that employee education brings jo satisfaction and reduces abnormal employee behavior, including high turnovers, industrial actions, walkouts, or lawsuits. Therefore, concerning FedEx’s success in the Canadian market, education is critical to the penetration of the corporation. Moreover, employee development is another essential attribute that should be entrenched into the company to ensure its success.
Recommendations
FedEx is a shipping company in Canada that necessitates travel; employees in the company could benefit from additional rolling out of e-learning materials to make access easier. This intervention would go a long way in building upon the existing frameworks by increasing its workforce access. Brown (2017) outlines that employee training through periodical study materials and job descriptor ensures that the work standards are elevated. In conclusion, although the FedEx group in Canada has created avenues for employee training and development, the outlined recommendations must be considered to guarantee employee satisfaction in the coming work age.
