The design of the
training should be according to the needs of the employees (Ginsberg, 1997).
Those organizations which develop a good training design according to the need
of the employees as well as to the organization always get good results
(Partlow, 1996; Tihanyi et al., 2000; Boudreau et al., 2001). It seems that
Training design plays a very vital role in the employee as well as
organizational performance, and a poorly design training program is nothing but
the loss of time and money (Tsaur and Lin, 2004).

development programs for their employees. Competition and the business
environment keeps changing and hence it is critical to keep learning and pick
up new skills. The importance of training and development is as follows:
• Optimum utilization of
Human resources
• Development of skills
like time management, leadership, team management etc
• To increase the
productivity and enhance employee motivation

team spirit
• For improvement of
organization culture

Need for
Training and Development
Training and development of
employees is a costly activity as it requires a lot quality inputs from
trainers as well as employees. But it is essential that the company revises its
goals and efficiencies with the changing environment. Here are a few critical
reasons why the company endorses training and development sessions.
• When management thinks
that there is a need to improve the performances of employees
• To set up the benchmark
of improvement so far in the performance improvement effort
• To train about the
specific job responsibility and skills like communication management, team
management etc
• To test the new methodology
for increasing the productivity
Responding to employees’ need for on-going learning is a prudent investment of an organization’s resources and funds. Unfortunately, all too often, the organization is jam-packed with other priorities, so learning is relegated to the back seat. Whether you use the terms “training,” “development,” or “education,” they all mean learning.
ReplyDeleteTraining and development play an important role in the effectiveness of organisations and to the experiences of people in work. Training has implications for productivity, health and safety at work and personal development. All organisations employing people need to train and develop their staff. Most organisations are consistent of this requirement and invest effort and other resources in training and development.
