Employee Training and Development: Reasons, Benefits and Costs
Introduction:
In this report, I will investigate the training and development of the well-known online retailer Amazon. I will
focus on providing examples of the firm's numerous training and development programmes in order to assess
why it's beneficial for the organisation to train personnel in order to achieve the company's goals. The report
will cover the estimated expenses of training programmes for the business, as well as an analysis of different
training methods and how they are more beneficial to the business and employee needs. Furthermore a
conclusion will be met at the supported evidence presented.

Training & development:
Any company will train its employees in order to increase the possibilities of a successful expansion. The firm
can boost efficiency and quality of work through developing individuals and improving their abilities in
accordance with the company's objectives. This is accomplished by the company which creates appropriate
and effective training programmes based on the type and nature of the business.

Amazon training:
Amazon.com, Inc. is an e-commerce, cloud technology, digital broadcasting, and ai - powered American
multinational technology firm. They sell numerous things at a low price, god quality, offer high-quality
experience, reliable shopping and a large catalog of products as well as a customer service line available
anytime.

Profit maximisation
Amazon can boost profitability by increasing consumer service. This will provide customers with a better
experience and relationships with consumers, as well as the opportunity to win additional customers due to
the spread of word-of-mouth advertising due to the premium experience consumers have. One way to do this
would be by settling in place a on the phone help team instead of a online team.

Increase turnover
Amazon can increase turnover by increasing sales volume and user satisfaction, as this will improve service and
secure customer loyalty, resulting in increased sales. This can be accomplished by increasing awareness of the
benefits of joining Amazon as a seller or a consumer in order to attract customers.

Productivity
Increased efficiency could lead to improved product quality, customer service, website development, and
merchandise. This would increase Amazon's income and growth by providing the necessary productivity and
training to customers and employees in order to increase the company's efficiency and enhance their skills,
resulting in improved customer service.

Market leader
Amazon may expand market share by innovating, as this will aid in the development of new products and
services. Innovation could also aid in the development of Amazon's operations, such as encouraging the
training of their employees through a development programme.

New technology




As a multinational retailer, Amazon would most likely use technology for order placement, returns, and product
browsing, and it would be critical for their employees to be trained in order to understand new technology in
order to use it efficiently and help the company become more organised with the new equipment.

Health and safety
Employers are required by health and safety legislation to communicate with their employees on these issues.
Employees will be more informed about the dangers of accidents thanks to training in the health and safety

New technology




As a multinational retailer, Amazon would most likely use technology for order placement, returns, and product
browsing, and it would be critical for their employees to be trained in order to understand new technology in
order to use it efficiently and help the company become more organised with the new equipment.

Health and safety
Employers are required by health and safety legislation to communicate with their employees on these issues.
Employees will be more informed about the dangers of accidents thanks to training in the health and safety
department. Furthermore, the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 mandates that Amazon disclose
information on all work-related risks and hazards.

Legislation
Legislation is a set of laws enacted by the government to safeguard businesses, employees, and customers. The
company followed these regulations to ensure that all customers and employees were treated fairly and safely.
The employee law requires a business to follow numerous types of legislation laws.

Meet Customer Service Targets
This is a long-term measure for Amazon's long-term goal of providing high-quality customer service. The ability
to recognise what they need to improve on in order to ensure that they meet the expectations of customers is
crucial since it gives the firm an idea of what customers anticipate, allowing them to gain client loyalty while
also assisting them in gaining potential customers.

New range of customers
Amazon diversifies its products to appeal to a wide range of customers with varying expectations and
preferences for items and experiences. This boosts sales because there is something for everyone. Producing
multiple approaches to solving problems and a wide selection of items to match every customer's taste
promotes sales because there is something for everyone.

New product / service
Amazon is constantly innovating and producing new products or services, and in order for them to be
successful, providing training to employees on this would give them a better chance of success.

AWS / Training Needs
I will now describe how BMW as a business can identify training through the process of training needs analysis
(AWS), which is a process that the company goes through in order to analyse how to improve the company and
by knowing what is wrong from feedback, the company will then be able to figure out a training programme
that is suitable for it.

The below AWS process bellow is being used by Amazon :

Data-Informed Planning
This is a formal assessment that will be changed if necessary. Amazon will be able to analyse their strengths
and weaknesses based on customer feedback. This could be done through the use of questioners, assessment
surveys, and so on. This assists the company in identifying the problem. The company could use long-term


performance to set targets and objectives for the company and employees in order to ensure the transition is
smooth and efficient.

Targeted skills enablement:

After the reviews are submitted to Amazon, the company can now identify the company's weaknesses, which it
can then analyse and compare the skills of their employees to see if they meet the standards of the company
and customers, and based on this, the company can decide what it needs to develop, whether it is a new set of
