Employee Training Program: Home Depot
The following training program is partially fashioned on that developed by Lowe's and integrates the ADDIE Instructional Design Model as process to help plan and implement the training program.
Home Depot will structure a comprehensive training program to introduce new employees to its cultural environment and to familiarize them with job requirements, objectives and strategic initiatives for enhanced work performance and customer support skills. The training program will also instruct employees in Home Depot's history, mission and values.
The entire training program will be based on the ADDIE instructional design Model and will last 6 weeks. Throughout those 6 weeks, new recruits will participate in a series of meetings and training sessions whereby they will become acquainted with fellow workers, managers, and leaders in the organization, as well as receiving hand-on practice in future job tasks and activities.
The ADDIE Model
The ADDIE model revolves around five components:
1. Analysis; 2. Design. 3/. Development; 4. Implementation; and 5. Evaluation
1. Analysis includes defining the objectives and goals of the training program, what you wish recruits to learn, and the definition of success outcomes from program.
2. Design refers to planning and creation of activities and exercises that will best help bring recruits to goals; how ideas should be presented to recruits; as well as how course will measure learner's accomplishments
3. Development entails creating the prototype; developing the course materials; conducting a review; and running a pilot session.
4. Implementation refers to actually running the training program; establishing the timetable; contacting the speakers; scheduling the courses; managing travel and expenses; ensuring that all contacts will be informed of dates and times and that resources will be prepared and ready for meetings.
5. Evaluation: The training specialist measures the outcome of the program to assess whether the training program achieved its desired objectives: are recruits eager to work in Home Depot; are they acquainted with Home Depot's vision and goals: do they show comfort with its culture.

Many people have different learning styles, so group training is likely more effective with some people and less effective with others. Many people require a more hands-on approach to their training, the result being that they might struggle with classroom training. It is
