The employees of Motors and More Inc needs training so that they can become multi-skilled that can enable them in performing a large number of tasks (Kobayashi, 2018). The employees of Motors and More Inc have to manufacture motors along with accessories for industrial and home purpose. The need of the training arises owing to that fact that it can help in teaching unskilled employees about the skills that can help in propelling the organisation in the forward direction.

Methods of Training

Lecture along with conference can help in providing training to the employees of Motors and More Inc. The verbal presentation can help the employees of Motors and More Inc to create interest among the employees and it can develop the intellectual capital of the company. The disadvantage of this method is that this is a traditional method and does not help in delivering practical knowledge to the students. Vestibule training can help in offering new learning to the employees of Motors and More Inc (Takeichi et al., 2015). In this kind of training, the workers are provided training within prototype environment in relation to specific jobs within special part of plant. This can help the workers of Motors and More Inc in getting rid of initial nervousness so that they work effectively in the company. The advantage of this method is that it can prevent the trainees from committing costly mistakes on that of actual machines in future. It can prove to be advantageous as it can provide practical knowkedge to the employees of Motors and More Inc. The disadvantage of this method of training is that the trainer needs to be skilled and they can demand more amount of money for providing vestibule training to the employees.

Recommendations

According to me, vestibule training should be provided to the employees of Motors and More Inc that can help in developing the skills of employees of the company which can help in making profits. The needs assessment would be able to identify the gaps between the existing and the required performance and the employees of Motors and More Inc can be provided training on that basis. The establishment of simulated set-up can help the technical staff to learn about the operation of tools along with machinery that can be of great use for the employees of Motors and More Inc.
