As architects of the modern workforce, HR professionals play a pivotal role in creating an environment that fosters innovation, resilience, and continuous improvement. One of the key roles of an HR professional is to determine employee professional development and training needs and to create and evaluate those training sessions. In your Week 7 activity you started the process of planning an employee training session. In this assignment, you will incorporate those details as a foundation and build upon them to finish the training plan.

Now it is time to propose a plan for employee training to motivate employees and satisfy leadership concerns.
Instructions
