1. Activity Directions:
   It is not uncommon for organizations to focus on training their employees, in some capacity, but developing employees often is not emphasized as heavily as training. This week, you are required to reflect on your experiences in a current or past organization that you have worked for. In your assignment, which should be 2- to 3-pages in length, you are required to address the following:
   
   • Provide information about your selected organization including details about the company’s industry, mission, values, etc.
   • Provide any details that you have about the organizations training and development programming. If you had experience with training and development in your organization, detail what your experience was.
   • Based upon the information explored in Chapter 9, explain what development related changes you would make in your organization. Justify why you believe these changes are important to consider and, too, note 2 to 3 benefits associated with further developing your employees.
   • Your assignment should be submitted in proper APA formatting and must be between 2- to 3-pages in length (not including your cover page or reference page). You are required to use Times New Roman 12-point font. Your paper must be double-spaced and use 1-inch margins. Before submitting your assignment, please ensure the following:
   1. You have included an APA formatted cover page.
   2. You have included properly formatted headings and subheadings.
   3. You have addressed all of the assignment requirements.
   4. You have used your textbook and two other scholarly sources to support your points (and have cited this content in-text and in the reference list).

      Critical Reminders:
      Please Note: Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Your assignments must be written in your own words. Quotes should be seldomly used. If you are using quotations, you need to properly cite the following in-text: (1) the author(s), (2) the year in which the quote was published, and (3) the page or paragraph in which the quote was located. Example: Smith et al. (2023) stated, “Citing content properly is essential” (p. 1). In addition to using proper in-text citations, you also need to properly reference the quotation in your reference list.
