The Firestone Tire and Rubber Company is an American tire company founded by Harvey Firestone in 1900 to supply pneumatic tires for wagons, buggies, and other forms of wheeled transportation common in the era. Firestone soon saw the huge potential for marketing tires for automobiles. The company was a pioneer in the mass production of tires. Firestone used this relationship to become the original equipment supplier of Ford Motor Company automobiles, and was also active in the replacement market.
In 1988, the company was sold to the Japanese Bridgestone Corporation.
Learning from observation of trained workers
· Receiving coaching from seniors
· Discovery as the result of working party
· Project team membership or attendance at meetings
· Job swaps within and without the organization
· Undertaking planned reading, or follow from the use of self–teaching texts and video tapes
· Learning by involvement in research, report writing and visiting other works or organizations
Training efforts must result to things like:
· More effective, efficient, flexible employees
· Faster results in making newcomers knowledgeable and effective than would follow from experience
· More effective or efficient use of machinery, equipment and work procedures
· Fewer requirements to implement redundancy
· Improvements in the qualifications of staff and their ability to take on tougher roles
· Better employee loyalty to the organization with more willingness to innovate and accept change
Employee referrals -- References by current employees may provide excellent
prospects for the business. Evidence suggests that current employees hesitate to
recommend applicants with below average ability. Word of mouth is one of the most
commonly used recruiting sources in the small business community.
Help Wanted advertising -- Letting people know that the business is hiring is a key
element in gaining access to the pool of potential employees. At its simplest, this
type of advertising may take the form of a Help Wanted sign in the window. More
sophisticated methods involve using local media, primarily print sources such as
daily and weekly newspapers. The classified pages of newspapers are frequently
consulted by active job seekers, including currently employed individuals who may
be tempted by a more attractive position. Other advertising media include radio and
television. These tend to have a wider appeal than the newspaper; however, the price
of an advertisement is correspondingly higher.
Specialty media publications, such as trade association magazines and newsletters, may also produce
quality job applicants. There are efforts in some parts of the country to offer small business
employers access to cable television community bulletin boards. Another high-tech opportunity is to
list positions on computer network bulletin boards.
Prices for help wanted advertising vary and the small business owner approaches them with caution.
A well-placed, high-quality advertisement will attract good people, whereas, an expensive
advertisement in the wrong medium may get no results. Some experimentation is worthwhile to
most small businesses. Another suggestion is to ask other small business people in the area about
their success with help wanted advertising. Learn from others' successes and mistakes.
