Subject: New Training Precedure
The company has been growing steady the last few years, as a result, we are
constantly expanding our operations and hiring new people from all skill level. We train
them as best as we can with a training program that has not changed much since it was
created many years ago. The situation in which our current training program was
created is much more different to the reality we face today. Lately, the lack of innovation
in the preparation of our new employee is giving us a lot of problems that we need to
solve before it gets worst and costlier. We have are beginning to see some problem in
its efficiency and this is affecting the productivity and efficiency of our production line.
Some of them do not know how to use the newest software, understand the government
regulation, or know exactly how the equipment is maintain. Recently, one of our
employee destroy an expensive piece of equipment simply because he did not know
exactly how to use it. We had to stop production for several days until these particular
piece was fixed. These could have been avoided if he had been trained properly.
I believe that by upgrading our training program to a system more up to day to today’s

research, I found out the perfect training program for our new employees. This training
is given by RightStart Corporation and is really impressive. I have never seen anything

about the technical part of their assigned jobs, but also provide them with additional
tools such as safety regulations and the introduction of new technology use in our
facilities. These new training will not only equip the employee with valuable new tools,
but also increase their job satisfaction
I made an estimation of its cost of this program is the following:
10 session of 1 hour each for ten people @ $125 per hour = $1,250.00
10 workers that need to be paid $16 per hour @ training = $1,600.00
The total cost per every ten employee that we train= $1,850.00
This program requires an initial high input, but not much more than the current training
program use. Compared to our current training programs, the benefits of this new
