Training tools are frequently secured using the lowest-cost earner method, taking into consideration minimal consideration given to the provider that would be highly effective.

As the needs differ for different people, an organization has to make use of various motivational mechanisms to encourage employees to put in the vital effort and enhance efficiency for the company. Motivated employees are indispensable in the workplace as they are efficient (Marsden, French & Kubo 2000)
The connection between pay, motivation of employees and performance is less substantial. Organizational Culture Companies that offer their employees with rewards that are intangible, like opportunities for their professional development, recognition of individual skills as well as employee's capabilities rather than concentrating on their duties (Wright et al
Otherwise, other employees can quickly conclude that they do not have a future in the company. HR manager is required to show respect in regard to diversity issues and encourage clear and constructive responses to the challenges (McDonnell et al
HR need to have clear operational objectives to make all employees understand what is required. Performance metrics associated for continuous improvement is effective in enhancing processes that assist in reinforcing team as well as individual goals (Nelson 1993)
Ethical leaders enhance the quality of the working environment as they relationships they inspire to set the pace for workers at different levels. The sensible effort to align the daily activities of the business together with the overall vision and mission statement tend to be another factor of leadership that influence organizational effectiveness (Zirnstein & Franca 2009)
Today, companies of all types and sizes are trying to design career plans that improve employee morale, as well as create and sustain excellence in their organizations (Moore, 2007). To achieve this objective, human resource managers must identify effective methods that can be used to assess, plan, and develop high-value talent in order to accomplish current and future organizational goals (Berger & Berger, 2003)

Continental, together with Continental Express and Continental Connection, all partner airlines, have more than 3,200 daily departures throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, serving 154 domestic and 138 international destinations. More than 1,000 additional points are served via SkyTeam alliance airlines, a consortium of 27 member airlines that offer more than 19,000 flights each day to more than 725 destinations in 149 countries around the world (Datol, 2006; CO facts, 2010)
The airline industry was rocked to its foundation following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and some observers wondered if the industry could even survive. Indeed, many airlines succumbed to the overall downturn in global travel in the wake of these attacks (Flouris & Walker, 2005), but a few managed to weather the storm long enough to emerge as key players today with one of the most prominent examples of these being Continental Airlines
35). These issues came to the forefront in 2004 when, despite the company's modest performance following the 9/11 attacks, Continental's senior leadership team announced that the company was expanding its operations into international markets in an effort to survive and grow (Hansen, 2006)
The talent management model for Continental is then evaluated for its potential effectiveness in achieving successful organizational outcomes together with a summary of the research and important findings in the conclusion. Review and Analysis Today, as the world's fifth largest airline and Fortune 500 member (Ladd, 2005), Continental Airlines (hereinafter "Continental" or alternatively, "the company") is modeling the way for other airlines that are struggling to survive during a period of economic downturn through a commitment to using its human resource management function to achieve its organizational goals
This commitment to the company's human resources has become more challenging, though, as Continental has expanded its operations into far-flung regions of the world as part of its SkyTeam alliance. In this regard, Continental is much like a number of other highly successful organizations that have managed to experience growth despite the challenges facing many industries by expanding its business model to additional international markets, but the company has proceeded judiciously in identifying target markets in recent years (Mohrman, 2007)
The company consistently earns awards and critical acclaim for both its operation and its corporate culture, and while non-market factors make the extinction of legacy airlines unlikely, Continental remains concerned with maintaining its ability to outrun the slowest of its competitors through strategic selection of its leaders. Today, companies of all types and sizes are trying to design career plans that improve employee morale, as well as create and sustain excellence in their organizations (Moore, 2007)
In this regard, Raphael notes that, "During the first few months of the year, the company had the best on-time record of any major airline in the country. It also had a very low rate of canceled flights" (Raphael, 2002, p
Develop and share compelling, but realistic, visions of how they see tomorrow needs to be managed today (remembering that there's often a fine line between vision and hallucination!) 3. Create great jobs, which challenge, stretch and enable talented people to excel, finding ways in which to enrich or shape jobs and roles, around peoples' major talents, focusing on assignments which involve major savings, increased profit/market share levels, developing a new function or unit, global roles, or improving cross-cultural/cross-functional synergy, are all 'stretch' experiences that allow people to make a significant leadership impact upon the business (Williams, 2005, p
