HRD3702 – Management of Training and DevelopmentAssignment 7
An organisation offers experiential learning for their employees to learn from their job, this includes
giving them a challenging assignment. This is an example of learning.
1. Formal mentoring programmes
2. Job rotation programmes
3. Acting in higher positions
4. Promotion to higher level
Refer to Lesson 9.
Job rotation programmes is the correct answer. By implementing job rotation, employees will learn from
their different roles and activities within the organisation. This is an example of experimental learning.
Promotion to higher level, refers to an upward mobility where employees progress to senior position within
the organisation. This comes with increased responsibilities, authority, and often higher compensation.
Formal mentoring programmes refers to structured initiatives implemented by an organisation to facilitate
mentoring relationships between experienced employees (mentors) and less experienced employees
(mentees) with the purpose of professional and personal development.
Acting in higher positions refers to an opportunity to perform the job in the senior position with full
responsibilities and accountability. Employees will gain experience when performing the assignment. This
option is therefore, incorrect.
ZZ3 is an international company within the tourism industry. The company is in the process of
employing a few leaders across the countries that they operate in. Which one of the following is an
example of the key competencies leaders involved in international assignments must have?
1. Cross-cultural communication skills
2. Global mindset and cultural intelligence
3. Fluency in multiple languages
4. Technical expertise in global business practices
Refer to Lesson 10
Global mindset and cultural intelligence is the correct answer. Global mindset refers to the ability of leaders
to have a broad perspective and understanding of global business dynamics, and to approach business
challenges and opportunities with a global orientation. It involves thinking beyond local or national
boundaries and taking into consideration the complexities and nuances of operating in a global business
environment.
Cross-cultural communication skills. This option is incorrect. Workplaces become more diverse, with
employees from various cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities. Cross-cultural communication skills refer to
the ability to effectively communicate and interact with individuals from different cultural backgrounds.

, HRD3702 – Management of Training and Development
Technical expertise in global business practices is incorrect as it refers to the knowledge, skills, and
competencies required to effectively navigate and operate in the complex and dynamic global business
environment.
Fluency in multiple languages, refers to the ability to communicate fluently in multiple languages, although it
is necessary it is not a key competency that the leader must have.
Management plays different and significant roles in the career development of their employees.
Which of the following allows managers to play a role in career development
1. Providing training for immediate job needs
2. Restrict employees to their current job roles.
3. Provide mentorship and coaching.
4. Focus only on immediate business needs.
Refer to Lesson 9
Providing mentorship and coaching is the correct answer. Management plays a critical role in career
development by setting goals, providing training and development opportunities, evaluating performance,
providing feedback, mentoring, and coaching. Management further creates opportunities for their
employees to progress. The other options are incorrect.
Restrict employees to their current job roles, is incorrect as it refers to a practice where employees are
limited to performing only the tasks and responsibilities that are specifically assigned to their current roles.
Providing training for immediate job needs involve activities designed to equip employees with the
knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to perform their current job roles effectively. This option is
incorrect.
Unlike South Africa and France few countries have clear legislation regulating training and
development. Some organisations spend a considerable portion of their training budget on
international training. What is the impact of high training costs in International HRD?
1. Increased organisational competitiveness
2. Reduced training effectiveness
3. Improved knowledge and skills transfer
4. Reduced support for training opportunities
Refer to Lesson 10
Reduced training effectiveness is the correct answer. High training costs in International HRD can potentially
impact the effectiveness of training programs. When training costs are high, oganisations may be limited in
their ability to allocate sufficient resources for training initiatives, resulting in reduced quality, scope, or
frequency of training programs. The other options are incorrect.
