Research rationale
The key research issue is “To define the impact of training and professional development of
employees on organizational performance”. In current business atmosphere, company contains
different changes and significant indispensable technique for any company to better performance

development for workforces at the workplace as it would be suitable for improving their
performance. There are different layers of training and development procedure that a company
can follow to gain the performance of workforces (Anitha, 2014).
In addition, orientation was provided to workforces without delay while they join the
organization. This training supports workforces to create awareness about the culture, job goals,
work standard and structure. Furthermore, when the goal of the job is not clearly defined then it
could not be attained. In such a manner, on the job training is a feasible training procedure.
Workforces learn only 10% from the formal training and rest of 90% comes from working with
the employees and co-workers in the job area. On the job training is more prominent as
compared to formal training. It can train the workforces in the way faster and makes them more
efficient (Falola, Osibanjo, and Ojo, 2014). Hence, the significance of training and development
relies on workforces that should be assessed.
