Behaviour claim: After accomplishment of training manager will see positive
modifications into working performance of labours. It works as a inspiration and they can do

success of company in near future. They will grasp opportunities from market which will aid
them to expand their business and goodwill at global level.
Rather than this, superior needs to evaluate all training programmes as this will assist
them to enhance staff members' work performance. There are various things which will provide
impact to company in a direct or indirect way. It is fundamental for each unit to fulfil their work
within limited period of time. Therefore, to resolve troubles superior of company will use some
12

techniques or methodologies. Training needs will also related to actual business environment
