Training and Development

                             

According to Henderson (2017), training is a set of planned activities on the part of an organisation to increase job knowledge and skills, or to modify attitudes and social behavior, to achieve specific ends which are related to a particular job or role

According to Ivancevich (2004), training and development are processes that provide (or at least try to) a personnel with information and skills they need in order to understand the organisation and its goals. They are designed to help a person continue to make positive contributions in the form of good performance

Training and development is vital part of the human resource development. It is also become more important globally in order to prepare workers for new jobs. Training can be defined as a refining process done with the selected candidates to make them perfect and adaptable according to the changing working environment of the company. The complete process of identifying, selecting, recruiting and training individuals helps them in their overall professional growth and also contributes to the development of the company

The need for Training and Development

Training is needed for the individual development and progress of the employee, which motivates him to work for a certain organisation apart from just money. We also require training update employees of the market trends, the change in the employment policies and other things.

From a company’s perspective, the failure to encourage employees to please their careers can result in a shortage of employees to fill open positions, lower employee commitment, and inappropriate use of money allocated for training and development program.

When a company helps employees in developing a career plan, the employees are less tending to quit that company. Developing a career can boost the morale of the employee, enhance productivity and help the company become more efficient.
