LITERATURE REVIEW
Importance of training and development in context to the organisation
Moriarty (2021) stated that employee training and development refers to the process of
investing time, resources, and energy strategically to improving employee performance. Training
is important in the company because it teaching new skills to staff members to help them so that
their performance can be improved. On the other hand, development is all about the
improvement of the existing skills (Brahmana, Brahmana, and Ho, 2018). It makes the staff
members more effective and productive. Training and development are important for the
company as this takes the benefits of techniques, improvements, and changes.
Impact of training and development on organisational profitability
Based on Maimuna and Nda (2021), providing training and development helps enhance
the employee's skills and sustain them at the workplace for a longer period. Training consists of
the programs to learn the precise knowledge to improve performance level. The development
consists expansive growth plan of the employee for performing in a better manner in the future.
It leads to improvement in profitability and also positive attitudes towards the work (Rodriguez

Different issues faced through Unilever Plc in providing the training to staff members at
workplace
As per the viewpoint of Andriotis (2021), for an organization, the highest priority when
this comes to allocating the training resources is enhancing training program effectiveness. There
are some issues faced through Unilever Plc in providing the training given below:
Dispersed workforce- Steady rise in remote work and decentralized workforce has to be
led to new challenges in training and development. With geographically dispersed employees,
training can be hard and misunderstandings are common (Melby-Lervåg, Redick, and Hulme,
2016).
Lack of engagement- In this, engagement is necessary on three different levels for an
instance behavioural, cognitive, and emotional. Without these, passive learning lacks
commitment and poor knowledge retention can contribute to issues in training and development.
