Scenario 1: Leadership Training and Employee Performance at Nova Manufacturing
Nova Manufacturing, a company specializing in industrial equipment production, recently launched a leadership training program to improve team management and employee performance. The program, called Nova LeadForward, was designed to enhance supervisory skills, communication strategies, and conflict-resolution techniques for managers across different departments.
After 6 months, some departments have reported noticeable improvements in employee productivity, while others have seen little to no change. Senior executives want to know whether the training program is truly making a measurable impact on employee performance.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Nova LeadForward, the company’s Workforce Analytics Team has compiled data from employees across various teams. The dataset includes:
• Employee performance rating (based on quarterly evaluations)
• Hours of leadership training completed
• Years of managerial experience
• Department size
• Average number of employees supervised per manager
Nova’s leadership team wants to determine whether managers who completed more leadership training hours have higher employee performance ratings in their departments. For this analysis, only leadership training hours will be used as a predictor of employee performance.
