Construct a persuasive argument that is supported with research

Case Scenario
You are the training supervisor for Firm X, a major department store chain that operates in seventeen states within the United States. They target shoppers under the age of 35. Firm X sells clothes, electronics, home furnishings, and more recently, groceries and other household goods. The expanding retail offerings Firm X is providing have caused a surge in hiring, and it has become apparent that managing training within each store has led to some inconsistencies in the quality and accuracy of the overall training experience for your new employees. Your division manager, Ms. Gonzalez, has asked you to determine a more efficient and consistent way to train all of Firm X's new employees. After researching the training practices in many of Firm X's stores, you have concluded that an online training program is the best option for standardizing Firm X's training experience.

As the training supervisor, you are responsible for mentoring and training new hires in your company. You also are expected to begin the process of creating the online orientation training. Before you can begin this work, you need to secure consensus from your human resources department that this online training will fulfill the needs of new employees. Unfortunately, you are experiencing some pushback from some HR employees because they feel it will depersonalize the training process. You need to persuade them to agree to this new method of training. To do this, you will develop a presentation (in PowerPoint, Prezi or another program) that you will share with all HR staff to persuade them to see the benefits of moving to a totally online training system.
