Employee Training and Development in Traffic Control for Road Construction

This project focused on defining each of the hourly positions for a company that specializes in Traffic Control for road construction and gave them official job titles. A comprehensive list of expectations and responsibilities for each position, based on the level of experience in that position, was developed to complement each job title. With these job descriptions, a progression pathway was created for an employee to see what skills they need to acquire and master in order to progress and gain promotions. Additionally, a list of training benchmarks for the employee and supervisor to utilize as a roadmap for advancement was produced. Training and development of a workforce are critical to achieving lasting success, increasing profits, efficient production, lowering turnover, and reducing liability (Mozael, 2015) (Herzberg, 1968). It also increases job satisfaction and fulfillment (Singh & Jain, 2013)
