Question

Employees encouraging each other to practice newly learned skills is an indicator of a supportive training climate. The other options do not demonstrate supportiveness. Holding training off-site after hours, competing for training opportunities, and not providing overtime pay for training can all be viewed negatively by employees. The incentive of it looking bad on an employee's record if they do not attend training can create a punitive atmosphere rather than a supportive one.
