Imagine  you are a new employee in a human resource (HR) department. Your first  task is to develop a stress management seminar for the employees.  Determine the topics that should be covered in the seminar. 

To  begin this discussion, one must understand the meaning of what Stress  management are, it is a technique to remove stress from life by  identifying the factors that cause stress. Therefore, if I am a new  employee in a human resource (HR) department the topics that I think  should be covered in the seminar are as followed:

Identify  the training audience, based on the level of importance determine  training needs, find successful and cost-effective training programs for  the organization that has been demonstrated in the past, create  programs and appropriate training hours needed based on availability,  once training has been provided ensure time for feedback, and ensure on  the job training so that "lessons learned" can be used and demonstrated  on the job.

These  topics develop for the seminar are ways to reduce stress that will help  employee maintain production with the appropriate training and feedback  due to it allow interaction among one another as well as one on one  interaction which lead to a more peaceful mind within the organization  they are a part of daily as well it allow them to gain growth of and  about the organization.

The  Chief Learning Officer’s (CLO) Website, the article titled “Southwest  Airlines: Employee Education Takes Flight”. Determine if Southwest’s  method of training is an effective way to conduct training and provide  one recommendation for improvement.

 After  reading the article, I can only say that Southwest Airlines history and  background speaks for itself their method is the best yet of providing  training to their many employees. During 9/11 Southwest Airlines was not  affected in any way because of it due to the belief of their employees,  customers and stockholders. Southwest Airlines employee’s efficiency  and effectiveness is enhanced by the eight different training department  and their University that focuses on the aspect of the development of  each employee. Being a part of this organization is a tremendous  opportunity because as you look at Southwest Airlines background the  turnover is very low which means these employees are not as stressed and  love what they are doing. If I had to improve anything as the article  stated, they have extreme problem with the vendors as they already do,  just keep hiring and firing until they get the right one that have the  same vision and mission as Southwest Airlines.
