Background Note
Motorola was founded in 1928 when the Galvin brothers, Paul and Joseph, set up the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Its first product was a "battery eliminator," which allowed the consumers to operate radios directly using household current instead of batteries.
After the continuous invention in 1986, Motorola invented the Six Sigma quality improvement process.
It became a global standard.
Top Training Company in the World
For nearly eight decades, (Motorola) has been recognized as one of the best providers of training to its employees in the world.
Motorola began training its employees' right in 1928, the year of its inception, on the factory floor as purely technical product training.
Training, at that time, just meant teaching new recruits how to handle the manufacturing equipment to perform various predetermined tasks assigned to them.
But by the 1980s, Motorola had emerged as a model organization in the corporate world for employee education, training and development.
The innovative training programs of Motorola turned training into a continuous learning process.
In the 1980s, the training initiatives of the company culminated in the setting up of the Motorola Education and Training Center.
Its an exclusive institute to look after the training and development requirements of Motorola's employees.
Training and Development Initiatives
Motorola had started training its employees' way back in the 1920s, and the importance of training continued to grow. Till the early 1980s, Motorola had its own standard employee development activities in which training was the key element.During those days, when people were recruited for manufacturing, the company looked for three essential qualities in the employees - the communication and computational skills of a seventh grader; basic problem solving abilities both in an individual capacity and as a team player; and willingness to accept work hours as the time it took to achieve quality output rather than regular clock hours.
Leadership development
In our first year at Motorola Mobility, we will review our leadership development programs to ensure they are aligned with our values and deliver the competencies required in the new company.
The global review process will also ensure that we develop consistent skills across the company.
Our leadership portal contains positive examples of leadership using podcasts, videos by senior leaders on management subjects, success stories, and links to websites with free or inexpensive tools and information.
The training site offered a low-cost way of continuing our leadership development activity during challenging economic times. By focusing on the subject most relevant to managers’ immediate business needs we ensured they gained the most value from taking time out to train.
