QUESTION
Which of the following, if true, least supports Behr’s position to increase the T&D budget?
A) The money saved from the T&D budget would be enough to fund a well-produced advertising campaign directed at the target audience.
B) There is a lack of qualified applicants available in Mini-Glee’s job market who could readily replace employees who leave.
C) Exit interviews showed that increased salary and benefits were the main motivations for employees to go work for one of Mini-Glee’s competitors.
D) Feedback on previous training sessions from employees suggests that the skills taught are often new and helpful.
E) In-house T&D requires constant supervision to keep it current with technological advances and the firm’s evolving agenda.
ANSWER
Answer: C
Explanation: C) If the attrition had little to do with employees’ training and development but had a more practical motivation, then Behr’s initiative would have little impact. So Choice C is correct: in such a case, Behr ought to be suggesting that the benefits package offered to valuable employees be put in line with industry standards. Choice A shows that the money could be used elsewhere but does not prove that it should come out of T&D. Choice B shows that it won’t be easy for Mini-Glee to replace employees, and they’d probably require more, not less, training. Choice D suggests that money spent on the training agenda has been worthwhile. Choice E is true of any T&D program in the industry.
