Write a 3-4 page internal memo that will be presented to the company leadership team as they make the decision whether or not the proposed software supports the company goal of increasing learning in the flow of work.
Today, the workforce has many learning needs that must be responded to without pre-planning, and adjustment times are quick. In the early tenure of an employee, or when the work task is new, the employee will need an ecosystem of learning strategies and products to facilitate learning in the flow of work. The ecosystem could include micro learning, on the job practice, learner developed videos, coaching, or other modalities. Learning in the flow of work is the process of using different activities throughout the workday to learn new skills to respond to task demands (Bersin, 2018).
There are thousands of technology-based learning platforms and vast amounts of content in many different formats. One way in which organizations can be successful in selecting the effective learning processes is by using different theories of learning and applying critical success factors (CSFs) when selecting mechanisms of learning. Theories of adult learning include: andragogy, which exploits a learner’s past experiences (Arghode, 2017); transformational learning, which makes connections between ideas and concepts (Yukawa, 2015), and experiential learning that connects meaning to reality (Human Resource Management International Digest, 2016).
Critical success factors can be used to determine best practices for the selection of learning platforms. CSFs provide facilitators to overcome internal organizational political and social barriers to learning (Bizcommunity.com, 2019).
CSFs that focus on process:
Align to goals and design for impact.
Work from a foundation of solid methodology.
Monitor and ask for feedback from the start.
Integrate learning into the flow of work and ensure application.
Work cleverly within budget and resource considerations.
CSFs that can overcome social and political barriers:
Have internal champions.
Choose the right partners.
Capture interest and attention.
Make it a successful brand exercise.
Not all learning success factors are suited for every situation. Think about which success factors will support your recommendation in your assessment.

HR Challenge
Your task is to identify which of the critical success factors and learning theories will be used with the implementation of new software. Also recommend whether or not the proposed software supports the company goal of increasing learning in the flow of work. Pick at least three critical success factors and one of three theories.
You work for a customer service organization that serves and tracks vendor needs for materials that are sold to other companies for resale. The company’s sales representatives give advice and recommendations based on cost and the buyers’ needs. They have to have a working knowledge of customer expectations, needs, and the customer companies’ operations. Your organization wants software that will provide the sales reps with data on items and costs while they are on the phone with the customer. The company has a tradition of being very cost-conscious and is not usually the first to buy new technology.
The software application that has been proposed for use by the sales representatives has the following characteristics:
Database capability for all catalog items plus 500 gigabytes of unused storage.
Same or similar content layout no matter what device—desktops, tablets, and phones.
Training modules that can be accessed from the website for the software application, range in length from 20–30 minutes each.
Microlearning lessons (3–5 minutes each) accessed from within the application.
Pop-up help messages within the application with helpful information about many functions. Can be turned on and off.
Frequently Asked Questions/Resource documents are searchable within the software for step-by-step instructions.
Individualized reporting of application usage, average time per transaction, and training materials accessed weekly or monthly.
As an HR generalist, you also have learning and development responsibilities. To assist in the decision to purchase software, you have identified the learning tools included with the software as well as some general sales-related learning needs of the sales representatives who will be expected to begin using the system as soon as it is installed.
Write a 3–4 page internal memo that will be presented to the company leadership team as they make the decision whether or not the proposed software supports the company goal of increasing learning in the flow of work.

For the two scenarios provided, prepare a recommendation for mentoring or coaching for HR leadership in an internal memo that is a total of 2-3 pages.
Today’s employee has different expectations from work than employees have had in the past. Employees want their organizations to offer extensive opportunities for growth, learning, and advancement. In addition, employees have expectations that go beyond the present. The vast majority of employees in the organization have aspirational desires for career advancement. A challenge HR professionals and learning-development staff and supervisors are experiencing is guiding employees towards their long-term goals. Some employees aspire to become organizational senior leaders and will likely be in roles that will prepare them for that opportunity. Other employees want specialized tracks to success, tracks that will move them into senior positions with responsibility over products and programs. Another group of employees isn’t sure what they really would like their careers to be and will benefit from exposure to different roles and responsibilities across different disciplines in the organization.
Employees often have visions of their professional future that require mentoring to achieve. Mentoring will maximize the benefit of the experiences, learning, and development they will have while working in your organizations. In addition to mentoring, many employees will need coaching at different stages of their development in the organization. Coaching may be needed for many organizational roles and activities.
Mentoring
The nature of mentoring varies, and the type of mentoring we give depends on the needs of different employees. What might seem an easy, quick session with one employee might turn into an extensive engagement for another. Mentoring in organizations may be formal or informal. Formal mentoring usually involves a group of dedicated members of the staff willing to guide employees through professional learning they do not know and may not understand. Formal mentoring may be administered by the learning and development office of human resources. Some organizations have ongoing informal mentoring that manifests based on professional affinity between a prospective mentor and mentee. The benefits of mentoring are significant and allow employees to learn from past experiences of their mentor. This relationship can help encourage social confidence, support individual community and open networks to the mentee they did not know existed.
Coaching
Organizations must be capable of responding to performance, leadership, and other aspects of organizational life that require attention. An activity that can help improve all these areas is coaching. Coaching is a demanding skill that requires training and knowledge on how to execute it and directly support the employee’s challenges. Some challenges require more sophisticated coaching by certified coaches, but other less demanding coaching needs are often performed by supervisors or managers.
HR Challenge
These are two individuals that are in need of professional coaching or mentoring. Consider which approach would be most effective for each case.
Joaquin aspires to become a manager in the organization. He is currently in the very early stages of his career as a financial management professional at CapraTek. He is struggling with understanding what he could do to achieve his dream of becoming an executive at the company years from now, or possibly for one of CapraTek’s competitors.
Steve is a Baby Boomer who had worked at CapraTek, retired, and was offered the opportunity to return to the company because he possessed a very specific bio-tech background that was in high demand in the competitive landscape. Now that he is back and has made some very significant contributions to the company’s bio-tech projects, he would like to work in human resources, as he wants to make his new career about people.
The HR business partner that you support as part of the learning and development office for CapraTek has asked you to make a recommendation for each of the individuals above to begin a mentoring or coaching process within the company.
For the two scenarios above, prepare a recommendation for HR leadership in an internal memo that is 2–3 pages.
Select and explain whether mentoring or coaching would be the better approach to support each employee’s professional development needs.
Describe the nature of mentoring OR coaching best practices, relevant to each individual.
Evaluate the benefit to the organization from each individual’s mentoring or coaching program.
Develop a communication strategy to inform the direct managers and their employees about the decision to initiate the mentoring OR coaching process.
