Abstract
Sempermed, a company which produce medical and industrial gloves, is a subsidiary of the Semperit Group. This one is one of the most competitive companies in the international rubber and plastics industry. Sempermed is on a leading position on the European and American markets. With a wish to always improve their products, the company needs continually to update their employees' skills, as well as workers and sales people. Therefore, employees must follow a suitable training.
But before designing the training program, we have to respect what Raymond J. Stone (Managing human resources, 2nd edition, 2008) calls ‘a systematic approach to training' which consists of three steps: assessment of training needs, the training activity and the evaluation of the training activity. So, as a first step, we have to identify training needs with organizational variables, task variables and person variables, and then establish training objectives. Afterwards, the training activity consists of selecting and designing the training program. Finally, according to Kirkpatrick's training evaluation model, the final step is an evaluation of reactions, learning, behavior and results which ensue from training.
