Alexa Riley · Answer 2

Answer: b) Ability

Explanation: Ability is the possession of skill to do a task. It involves being able to complete a given task.

Dave's new hires are motivated and ready to do the job, however they are not sure what tasks are included in their job. In this instance, organising a training that targets 'ability' will solve a part of the problem.

However, Dave needs to do more to target the actual problems which are the job description and role play. Teaching the staff how to do a job without given them job schedules may not be so effective in the long run.
