| Abstract | Two research projects examined the extent to which corporate commitment to human resource development is reflected in mission statements. In the first study, a questionnaire designed to elicit training data was sent to 333 Fortune 500 manufacturing and service firms; 81 completed questionnaires were returned. Sixty-nine percent of the respondents indicated their organizations had formal policies recognizing human resources as an essential corporate asset; 9 of the 13 industries included in the study had a majority of responding firms indicate that corporate policy related to human resources had changed in the last 5 years. In the second study, a letter was sent to the director of human resources at 256 Fortune 500 manufacturing firms from 7 selected industries and 245 Fortune 500 service firms from 5 service industries requesting a copy of the firm's mission statement and/or goals. Responses were received from 103 firms; 86 sent some form of mission statement. Although total returns in the manufacturing and service sectors were similar (16.4 and 17.9 percent), among industries there was a great range of response rates: 6 percent of savings institutions and 32 percent of utility companies sent mission statements. A number of firms responded that they did not have mission statements. Mission statements ranged from simple one-sentence descriptions of the nature of the business or goal statements to 5-10 pages of text. Twenty-five mission statements contained no mention of employees. (Contains 30 references.) (YLB) |
