Problems arise in induction, training, and development
• Tesco personnel manager sometimes gives more information to the employees that are not relevant to their work. So new employees get confused.
• A different generation of people in the same training program creates confusion. Some can easily understand some cannot (Smith et al., 1985).
• Sometimes time is too short for the training and there is no option to get feedback from the employees.
• Some do not get technical support to explain the terms and conditions and it may create a problem.
Possible solution
Tesco should emphasize the relevant content which is needed for employees to start their work on the organization. Use proper technological support and make a clear explanation for all generation people (Kramar and Syed, 2012). And at last take feedback from the trained employees as well as make them clear if they raise any question.
