Feedback is continuous, as we will acknowledge any positives and negatives.
At the end of your training, we hand you an evaluation of our training to you. We ask for your feedback so we can improve our training.
Some questions asked are:
Was the training knowledge received easy to understand?
What did you learn?
Do you have any comments toward the training?
We take in all evaluations and make a better training method that is aimed at making it easy to learn.
Pay Wages and Compensation
Here at Felwick Gifts, we care about your wellbeing whether it is your health, financial or mental. That is why we have an in depth compensation plan for every employee, assistant manager and manager.
All employees receive health insurance that starts with a $500 deductable including vision and dental, paid vacation, 401(k) savings plan, child and elder care referral service, discount on our merchandise. Felwick Gifts are open on all holidays except, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Health insurance and 401(k) savings plan is taken out of your paycheck before taxes. Premiums vary with each health plan. We match your contributions to your 401(k). There is some difference in benefits and compensation plan that vary between salespersons and management along with pay.

The time frame gives managers enough time to practice when they have learnt. Those who have not applied what they have learnt are called back and given more training. The information can be collected through surveys, or self-evaluations. It can also be collected from direct observation of the training or of the weeks following the training. Information can also be collected during the training by observation. The trainer or a third party can observe the behavior or attitudes of the managers during the training. Managers can also be given a self-evaluation to conduct at the end of the training to identify which areas they needed improvement and what they have learnt during the training. The evaluation can also ask for situations in which the managers can apply what they have learnt and how they can apply it, such as case study, role-playing.
The employee is supposed to engage in an employee-driven health plan where the worker has a chance to contribute towards their personal health accounts. The raised money is used to cater for their health. This eases the employer from possible extra expenses, compared to when the employer contributes solely (Kerzner, 2013).
Receiving feedback gives us an opportunity to change and modify our behaviour, in order to become more effective at skills.

Once the criterion for the unit being assessed has been met, then I can feedback summatively; thereby confirming that competence has been demonstrated. Once my learners have been summatively assessed, I ensure that portfolios are put through the internal verification process and that I record progress and achievement. This is done using a shared drive on an Excel spreadsheet in the form of a percentage.
Health care coverage can be obtained from many different sources. The most common source is through employer-based insurance. The coverage offered to employees through a group health plan can benefit the employees as well as the business. According to Small Business Majority (2017), purchasing a group policy will allow the employees to have better access to care, which results in healthier employees. In addition, being more affordable and having the sense that medical expenses would not be as expensive if they did not have insurance (Small Business Majority, 2017). Finally, tax benefits that businesses may receive for paying at least half of the employee's premiums, according to Small Business Majority (2017). These benefits assist in creating a healthier atmosphere in a business.
Thirty-one percent of employees are at least marginally dissatisfied with their current employee benefits while twenty-six percent are completely unsatisfied (Fronstin, 2013). It is the hope of the company to offset these feelings of dissatisfaction by uncovering what are the most desirable benefits available to employees. It has been found that there is a blatant correlation between employees that are happy working for a company and the success of said company (Stanger, 2013). Figure 1.1 displays benefits that employees find to be the most successful.
