Problem Context:

Executive Summary:

Giving feedback to employees is one of the essential skills a manager needs to possess. This course was kept in mind to fulfill this requirement.

What were the challenges you were trying to solve with this project?

It is seen that a lack of having skills to provide effective feedback can be a loss to the organization in terms of finances and skilled labor. All positions in an organization that have reporting employees must go through this training.

Solution Journey:

Briefly describe the design and development process you used.

  • Needs Analysis- I completed the needs analysis by talking to managers, employees who report to those managers. I also checked exit interviews for employees who recently left the organization. I gathered the data that showed that managers are lacking in the skill of giving feedback.

  • Learner Analysis- The target learners are managers who have at least one reporting employee. All have basic computer skills.

  • SME and Client Communication- The client in this case HR team of the organization. HR managers are SMEs. I communicated with them through direct conversation, emails, and phone calls. I recorded details of each meeting which mentioned the achievements, roadblocks, and actions to be taken before each meeting.

  • Design- As I completed design and development I just worked on the blueprint. I decided to use Articulate Storyline. I also worked on a drag-drop interaction. As the course is designed keeping the corporate employee in mind, I used a corporate template.

  • Development- Design and development took place at the same time.

Results:

What did you learn from the development process?

  • I learned to create a project keeping the corporate client in the mind. It was different than my other projects in terms of the look and design.
