Introduction
The scope of the research
In this research project, the proposal will dwell on the strategies that Sleepy Hollow uses in its bid to ensure optimal employee performance. In the beginning, the paper will provide an intrinsic proposal, after which it presents the research problem. After this, the research will authenticate researches that have been carried out on the topic, besides presenting a comprehensive literature review to establish the present stand on the topic. Finally, the research proposal will deliver the outcome which will include recommendations on the best ways to overcome the problem and present the most appropriate alternative approach in implementing the proposed solution.
Research background
The research topic is the need to incorporate training and development as part of the human resource management policies of Sleepy Hollow. Currently, the human resource management department does not have policies that reinforce training and development among the employees. In numerous jurisdictions, it is required to have an independent training and development management function in an institution. Unfortunately, there are scenarios where the human resource management department of Sleepy Hollow is not competent and thus, fails to address the critical control factors within the desired time frame. There is no proper schedule for periodic and continuous employee training and development within Sleepy Hollow, which has a quantifiable module for tracking the feedback and level of engagement among the employees. As a result, it is almost impossible to monitor the performance of each employee against the set targets. Besides, the lack of training and development may be attributed to low employee morale and redundancy at the organization. It is necessary to establish the most appropriate training and development strategy for Sleepy Hollow to monitor and micromanage its employee productivity.
Research problem
Even though Sleepy Hollow spends several thousands of dollars on training seminars and internal programs, the training modules have not been modified to fit within the organization’s corporate culture. This research paper will establish the most appropriate approach that Sleepy Hollow should adopt to improve its training and development strategies. The Sleepy Hollow will greatly benefit from appropriate training and development strategies, which translate into better employee development and client satisfaction (Eriksen, 2009).
The rationale of the research
The need for employee efficiency in Sleepy Hollow informed the need for critical research on the impact of different employee training programs on organizational effectiveness. Therefore, the research treatise will attempt to explicitly quantify the direct and indirect impact of employee training on organizational performance at the Sleepy Hollow Company (Schraeder & Jordan, 2011). At the end of the research, Sleepy Hollow, which wants to further progress its general performance, will be in a position to implement the necessary policy framework for improving performance as part of the training results.
The research aims and objectives
This research study will endeavor to overtly appraise the human resource training strategies in Sleepy Hollow and their direct influence on organizational performance in the short and long run. The primary aims and objectives of this research paper will be;
- To provide sufficient information to the human resource management department of Sleepy Hollow on the real management problems that have facilitated the occurrence of poor performance among the employees.
- To establish the views of the employees of Sleepy Hollow on the level of job satisfaction within the current training and development programs.
- To establish the link between the current output of Sleepy Hollow and the scope of its human resource management strategies.
Research questions
- What is the effect of employee training planning on Sleepy Hollow’s progress?
- How is Sleepy Hollow different in its strategic employee training planning?
- What factors of human resource planning has not propelled Sleepy Hollow to its desired success route?
- How does Sleepy Hollow deal with different challenges with its employee training planning?
Significance of the research
This research will assist Sleepy Hollow to execute effective employee training strategies that encourage competence of employee performance feedback. The research will be a collection of best training practices that Sleepy Hollow may apply to ensure that its performance is sustainable and attractive. The study will give critical recommendations on the best strategy that Sleepy Hollow may apply to ensure that its training results in better organizational performance. The main effect of improving the training of the employees is that it will create a quality service environment. The management would have to restructure the organization in a way that allows for the implementation of the proposed employee training plan (Allan, 2009). The staff would need to adapt to the new requirement of learning the dynamic communication system in a bid to accomplish the organization’s goals.
Literature Review: Sleepy Hollow Training
Review of Sleepy Hollow’s current employee training guidelines
The Sleepy Hollow training values include competency, creative culture, organizational effectiveness, and authenticity in performance. The company has been proactive in offering continuous training programs to its new and old employees periodically to ensure that their performance meets the expectations within the annual performance review calendar. The company has a stable ethical and performance culture that is pivoted on the need to improve on creativity and a healthy state of mind among the employees. Therefore, a proactive behavior control system for the restaurant functions within a structured reward system. Sleepy Hollow focuses on the most elevated moral models in all business exchanges. Each employee must follow all pertinent laws, guidelines, and regulations when performing his or her obligations.
Need for employee training through organization management
According to Allan (2009), a “people subsystem may be effective when the incentives are properly matched with the responsibilities assigned to an individual in an organization” (Allan, 2009, p. 29). The strategy functions on the assumption that proactive management is the first step in managing counteractive behavior, which is a distracter from optimal performance (Vaccaro, Jansen, Bosch, & Volberda, 2012). This has been achieved by the company through a series of continuous training programs that are customized to meet the demand of each training need at the company. The training needs are classified according to the level of skills, market demands, and the organizational culture of proactive learning. As a result, organizational management will function on the periphery of inclusive and proactive response mechanisms (Battilana & Casciaro, 2012). This is summarized in the figure below.
Factors affecting Sleepy Hollow’s effectiveness
According to Battilana and Casciaro (2012), the models of intention, adoption, and continuance are essential in investigating the concepts of intention, adoption, and continuance of the process of employee training. Employee trust and satisfaction are the key determinants of continued performance. In the face of globalization and the development of effective training, Sleepy Hollow has been consistent in providing a series of training programs that are aimed at creating a healthy work environment for sustainable performance (Battilana & Casciaro, 2012).
Through understanding organizational sustainability, organizations need to comprehend the dynamics that prevail, drive, and support essential programs within its workforce to accomplish the strategic objectives, while ensuring that the employees are comfortable. The physical structures in any organization interested in sustainability should promote positive relationships between favorable and effective job performance and work environment, as attributes of motivation and congenital conditions (Chen, Tsui, & Farh, 2002). This is summarized in the diagrams below.
According to Wang, Tsui, and Xin (2011), measuring factors such as interpersonal relations, working conditions, support and trust, welfare provisions, and work environment may greatly contribute to organizational sustainability as well as employees’ satisfaction, especially when technology is secondary to human input. For instance, technological modifications within an organization are sustained when the human factor is equipped with appropriate skills for ensuring its operational efficiency (Andreadis, 2009).
Role of training in Sleepy Hollow’s organization development
Job training is an important concept in the discipline of Human Resource Management in the job selection process, especially in training candidates for specific job descriptions. Getting the right individuals for employment is critical to the achievement of an organization’s goals (Chen, Tsui, & Farh, 2002). Through this approach, employees will be empowered and they will feel trusted and valued by the management personnel and the company. Naturally, human beings would wish for motivation through mutual consent and internalized empowerment and appreciation. Better performance translates into organization growth, especially when the training process is continuous (Dasgupta, Suar, & Singh, 2013). Across the globe, human resource management endeavors to have a pipeline of talent to work towards achieving long-term objectives. Besides, through designing relevant training and development programs that suit different work environments, human resource management will develop sustainable skills that enhance career development. Human resource management is critical in undertaking several career development programs concurrently. If properly integrated, such would be necessary for attracting and retaining the human resource base. This is achievable through proactive evaluation of employees besides designing a succession pipeline for vital job positions in organizations through training.
Naturally, human beings would wish for motivation through mutual consent and internalized empowerment and appreciation. Empowerment unleashes plenty of energy and motivation. Reflectively, the motivation and energy aspects of appreciation function simultaneously at micro and macro levels to facilitate optimal functionality or productivity (Andreadis, 2009). Empowering employees ensures a stable and sustainable win-win situation as employees will be motivated to work without much supervision from the management or their supervisors. When properly incorporated within and without different departmental segmentation, as an active component of the company goals and vision, the complete interaction between the management and other staff will contribute to value addition, good performance, and a healthy working environment (Harrison & Wicks, 2013).
Employee development and organization development at the Sleepy Hollow
Upon empowering employees to participate more in the decision-making process, the culture of independence in reasoning and consultative approach when handling work-related duties will be internalized. The employees will appreciate the need for free consultation rather than doing the same as a condition imposed on them by their superiors (Male, Kelly, Grongvist, & Graham, 2007). In the process of carrying out consultative functionalism, the mind will be tuned to appreciate the need for flexibility in decision making science which is compatible with the goals and vision of the organization (Dasgupta, Suar, & Singh, 2013). Besides, the entire workforce operating under the consultative approach is likely to positively embrace the change element that may be introduced in the organization aimed at ensuring optimal output by the employees. Optimal performance translates into a sustainable business and promotes organization development (Andreadis, 2009).
Methodology
Description of the population
The research will adopt a critical research survey method to accomplish the objective of establishing the relationship between employee training and organizational performance. The researcher will dispatch 100 questionnaires as part of the quantitative survey. The research will be declared effective when 90 questionnaires are filled and returned. This research will target senior and junior staff at the billing company. The study will opt for open and close-ended questionnaires since it is economical, especially when the sample size is put into the picture (De-Rada, 2005).
Description of the sampling procedures
The rationale for choosing discreet statistics in this research was informed by the nature of the targeted population, that is, dynamic and concentrated in one area. A model space of 100 respondents was targeted for the study. This sample was chosen randomly across different ages, gender, and other responsibility classes among the employees at Sleepy Hollow. The researcher used convenience sampling (Golafshani, 2003, p. 24).
Sample size determination
To create the sample size for the research, the following formula was used.
Sample size formula (Golafshani, 2003)
n=N/ (1+N (e2))
Where:
- n = sample size
- N= Target population
- e= Degree of freedom
- n=100/ (1+100*0.052)
- n=100/1.25
- n= 80
The sampling criterion that will be used in the initial sampling plan represents the true picture of the activities on the ground. To begin with, the sampling plan considers several employees and concentrates on different shifts. Besides, this sample plan is representative of the company’s labor population and it is not biased since the results generated are from different sampling units with a sample space of one. Moreover, an adaptation of this sample plan as authentic would not compromise the aspect of comparative study in decision making, that is, it gives room for comparison to another set of data. This sample chosen for the survey presents clear, scientific, and verifiable criteria for making decisions in the dynamic HRM scene (MacKay & McKiernan, 2008).
Confidence intervals
Confidence interval estimates
At 99%
Sample statistic + Z value * standard error / √n
b1 = 7.1175 ± 2.57 * 0.9631 / √133
= 7.1175 ± 2.57 * 0.9631 / 11.5326
= 7.1175 ±0.2146
= 6.9029 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.3321
At 95%
b1 = 7.1175 ± 1.96 * 0.9631 / √133
= 7.1175 ± 1.96 * 0.9631 / 11.5326
= 7.1175 ± 0.1635
= 6.954 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.281
At 90%
b1 = 7.1175 ± 1.64 * 0.9631 / √133
= 7.1175 ± 1.64 * 0.9631 / 11.5326
= 7.1175 ± 0.1368
= 6.981 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.254
The confidence interval estimate of 90% is 6.981 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.254, of 95% is 6.954 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.281, and of 99% is 6.9029 ≤ b1 ≤ 7.3321. Thus, it can be noted that as the interval level decreases, the confidence interval estimate increases.
ANOVA analysis
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical tool that “focuses on establishing the differences between the means of data collected from the targeted organization” (De-Rada, 2005, p. 45). This is represented by
and
(De-Rada, 2005).
Validity and reliability
Basically, “validity and reliability determine the accuracy of collecting data in research” (De-Rada, 2005, p. 33). This will be achieved by designing close-ended questions that direct all the respondents on the answers expected to make the study more defined within the initial variables. Besides, the research will be in a position to interact with the respondents on request to make any clarification as the study progress to ensure that everyone is reading from the same page (De-Rada, 2005). Lastly, each respondent will be given ample time to fill the questionnaires and make any corrections before the research makes the final decision on how to interpret the data collected.
Different biases and minimization
The responses from the participants will be analyzed to determine which research question and research objective they are addressing. They will then be coded accordingly. The major strength of the methodology is that it helps in analyzing all themes, which have implications on the research questions; hence the bias will be minimal. Despite its inability to highlight themes that are external to the research questions conclusively, the methodology is appropriate for this study (Golafshani, 2003). In other words, the researcher will study the texts from the data collected trying to identify the concepts that relate to the research questions and objectives. Content analysis and thematic analysis are closely related, especially in the context of the current study. Both of them hinge on the research questions.
Analysis
ANOVA analysis: Hypothesis
Null hypothesis
Ho: µ1 = µ2 = µ3
In this study, the null hypothesis indicates that there is no substantial difference between effective employee training and organizational performance concerning the Sleepy Hollow Company.
Alternative hypothesis
Ho: µ1 ≠ µ2 ≠ µ3
In this study, the null hypothesis indicates that there is a difference between effective employee training and organizational performance in the Sleepy Hollow Company. The ANOVA results are summarized below.
(Source: De-Rada, 2005).
As indicated in the table, the number representing the F-value was depicted by 4.21 while the number depicting the P-value was established as 0.001. Since the null hypothesis was to be rejected within the accuracy limit of 99%, “this confirms that the indicators for determining performance” (De-Rada, 2005, p. 32) of the Sleepy Hollow Company slightly differ. Thus, it can be concluded that effective employee training has a direct influence on the organizational performance of Sleepy Hollow. This is a clear indication that effective employee training determines the magnitude of organizational performance at the Sleepy Hollow Company.

This is a clear indication that proper and effective employee training programs translate into better organizational performance.
Recommendations and Conclusion
With regards to the above findings, there is a need to make training programs more proactive and performance-oriented. The goals of this recommendation are to progress the competence of the current model of training between the employees and the organization through the incorporation of multicultural training and to ensure that the various available methods appeal to the financial health of the organization. This recommendation will address the objectives of ensuring that the organization improves the standard of the working environment, increasing the number of clients that the organization handles daily in a bid to accomplish the organization’s objectives, and ensuring the level of flow of information within and without the organization. The proposed program is summarized below.
Continuous Orientation-Performance Portion Training (applying the LAMP framework)
The main objectives of the Continuous Orientation-Performance Portion Training at the Sleepy Hollow include the passing of teamwork, time management, and customer service skills. Besides, the program aims at addressing conflict resolution, complaints acceleration, and intra and inters personal communication skills. The training program is meant to restore the employee confidence, personal adjustment within the organization culture, and intra and interpersonal interaction with other employees and customers.
Significance of the Continuous Orientation-Performance Portion Training
According to Battilana and Casciaro (2012), “self-evaluation skills on individual concentration level during training encompass actual and expected outcome” (Battilana & Casciaro, 2012, p. 35). The process of learning within Sleepy Hollow for employees will be conducted through employee orientation and continuous organization behavior modification. Learning in this organization is a major prerequisite to the realization of managerial and operational changes. The four main categories of intervention strategies in organizational development highlighted in the proposed program include strategies that are based on the human processes, structural technological orientation, techno-social orientation, and organizational alteration (Battilana and Casciaro, 2012).
The success evaluation criteria for the proposed employee orientation program functions on the feedback from the employees after the end of each stage of the training. The plan does not aim to disseminate any particular message, as its core purpose is to improve communication between the organization and its clients in the daily running of the organization’s affairs. The strategies in this plan require the organization to take a collaborative perspective in dealing with the subject matter. In essence, this aspect means that the plan requires the management of the organization, the staff, and the clients to work together. The main requirement for the creation of such a set-up is an exchange of information and knowledge relevant to the project. The actualization of the tactics that this plan proposes requires the management of the organization to work closely with the staff and allow the staff freedom to associate with clients and form networks with other organizations as they accomplish their duties. This aspect allows the staff to collect feedback from clients.
Measurement and Evaluation
It is difficult to establish the exact timeframe within which the organization shall complete the communication training program due to the variation of learning capabilities among trainees. Most options available for incorporation in the training program are cost-effective and they work towards the sole purpose of furtherance of the organization’s goals and objectives. The solutions also cater to the main stakeholders, the organization’s management, staff, and clientele. When properly implemented, the current production, human resource, and organizational culture will become more proactive and sustainable. This is summarized in the table below.
(Source: Dasgupta, Suar, & Singh, 2013).
Delivery and evaluation methods
The success evaluation criterion for the proposed program functions on the method of delivery. The training will be delivered through a video, booklets, and a PowerPoint presentation. The main delivery method is appropriate since the training program is practically oriented (Dasgupta, Suar, & Singh, 2013). Reflectively, these factors are internalized in the training program of the proposed program to foster a proactive attitude among the staff towards performance.
Evaluation methods
The aspect of planning for the proposed program is important to demystify poor performance. As opined by Allan (2009), “proper use of competency review system is directly proportional to employee performance, since the magnitude of success depends on social interaction skills” (Allan, 2009, p. 65). These policies will be incorporated into the employee-employer relationship model and personalized performance reviews.
The strategies in this recommendation require the Sleepy Hollow organization to take a collaborative perspective in dealing with the subject matter. In essence, this aspect means that the plan requires the management and staff of Sleepy Hollow to work together. The main requirement for the creation of such a set-up is an exchange of information and knowledge relevant to the project (Chan & Mcallister, 2014). The actualization of the tactics that this plan proposes to require the management of the organization to work closely with the staff and allow the staff freedom to associate with clients and form networks with other organizations as they accomplish their duties (Battilana & Casciaro, 2012). The success evaluation is summarized in the table below.

Area of future research
The research objective was to establish the consequence of employee training programs on the organizational performance of the Sleepy Hollow Company. The variables of the research were training programs and their effectiveness. Thus, the research ignored other factors that have an impact on organizational performance. Therefore, there is a need to carry out future research on the cost constraints and management policies that may also affect the training modules in companies.
