Part 2- Case Study (6 marks)
GreenEarth Landscaping is a company specializing in sustainable landscaping solutions.
With a focus on environmental stewardship, the company has gained a reputation for
innovative practices in landscape design and maintenance. As the demand for their
services increased, GreenEarth hired numerous new employees to manage the growing
workload. However, the new hires often struggled to adapt to the company’s unique
methodologies and commitment to sustainability. Despite a strong commitment to
sustainability, GreenEarth’s training programs are fragmented. New employees receive
basic onboarding but lack comprehensive training in sustainable practices and companyspecific protocols. As a result, employees are less effective in their roles, which has
caused inconsistencies in service delivery and customer satisfaction. Additionally, some
employees have expressed feelings of being overwhelmed by the amount of information
presented during their training. To address these issues, the HR team proposed the
following initiatives:
1. Structured Onboarding Program: Development of a comprehensive onboarding
program focused on the company’s values, mission, and sustainable practices.
2. Mentorship Pairing: Assigning experienced employees as mentors to new hires to
provide guidance and support during their initial months.
3. Hands-On Training Workshops: Implementing practical workshops that allow
new employees to experience sustainable practices in real-world scenarios.
4. Continuous Development: Establishing ongoing training sessions and
certifications in sustainability-related topics to encourage career growth.

5. Evaluation and Feedback: Instituting a system for collecting feedback from
employees about the training content and delivery to identify areas for
improvement.

3. How can GreenEarth enhance its onboarding program to better prepare new
employees for their roles? What specific topics should be included? (2Marks)
4. Assess the potential benefits and challenges of a mentorship program. How can
GreenEarth ensure that mentors are effectively supporting new hires? (2Marks)

5. What specific methods can GreenEarth use to effectively collect and analyze
feedback on its training programs? How can this data inform future training
initiatives? (2Marks)
