Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The first step in the T&D is to determine a firm's specific training needs. Then specific objectives need to be established. After setting the T&D objectives, management can determine the appropriate methods and the delivery system to be used. Implementing and evaluating the T&D program occurs next in the process. Naturally, management must continuously evaluate T&D to ensure its value in achieving organizational objective. Implementing training programs presents unique problems. Training implies change, which employees may vigorously resist. It may also be difficult to schedule the training around present work requirements. Unless the employee is new to the firm, he or she undoubtedly has specific full-time duties to perform. Another difficulty in implementing T&D programs is record keeping. It is important to maintain training records, including how well employees perform during training and later on the job.
