TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT AT SUPER FOODS
Mariana Kirsten started Super Foods, a food manufacturing company, in 2010. The company
specialises in frozen foods that merely require customers to heat and eat. Their products, which
range from savouries to five-course meals, are aimed at making food preparation easier for
their customers. They are also committed to providing quality products at a reasonable price.
Super Foods started with a very small shop in Durban. Due to the success of the company,
Super Foods currently operates across all nine provinces in South Africa. The company has a
solid track record in providing excellent products and services that meet the expectations of the
clients. Super Foods’ overarching principle is that each employee should have the opportunity
to develop to his/her maximum potential.
Training and development of employees are prioritised at Super Foods. Philip Moodley and
Louise Baloyi are the two training and development managers at Super Foods. Philip is
responsible for the following training activities:
• Determining Super Foods’ training needs
• Making administrative arrangements for the learners
• Determining whether the training programmes were executed as planned
• Drawing up a strategic plan for training at Super Foods
• Providing support for the achievement of objectives
• Determining whether the learning outcomes of training programmes were achieved
Louise assists with employees’ performance problems, shows a genuine interest in people and
aligns the HRD activities with Super Foods’ broad business plan. She also measures the impact
of training and development on the success of Super Foods, knows how learning takes place
and provides the company with guidance and leadership regarding training and development
activities.
Louise wants to ensure that suitable personnel are recruited to successfully run the HRD
department at Super Foods and that all legislative requirements regarding training and
development at the company are met. She would also like to establish that Super Foods is able
to adequately respond to continuous change in the business environment and that personnel
in the HRD department are adequately paid and trained to perform their functions. Furthermore,
she wants to make sure that suitable facilities are used for the various training programmes.
Task
Phillip and Louise are unsure about certain aspects relating to training and development at Super
Foods and have come to you, an external training and development consultant, for assistance:
Question 1

function of an HRD manager. Give a reason for each activity that you indicate as not being part
of this function. (10)
