Problem 1: Avondale Industries' training and development office met with upper management to determine what next year's needs and goals of the company were. The office then went to work on designing and developing training that would help the company train its employees to reach the company's goals. The team was enthusiastic about its training courses and sent out an email listing the schedule and topics, but when the first two training sessions were offered, most managers chose not to send any of their employees. Which statement best explains what the trainers should have done that would have helped increase participation?

Option 1: The trainers should have clearly communicated the purpose of training and how it ties to the company's goals and vision. Managers and their employees would then participate.

Option 2: The trainers should have consulted with the supervisors to coordinate the training schedule with the production schedule.

Option 3: The trainers should have indicated to employees that the trainings were mandatory because development of the course was driven by upper management.

Option 4: The trainers should have provided an incentive to participate, either to the supervisors or the employees.
