Training and development is a function within an organization that focuses on the
improvement of the performance of a group or individual employee within a company setting.
Development is a process that seeks to build capacity for the achievement of a new and desired

performance, it is necessary for the business to implement training and development programs
that address the specific aspects that are lacking in the workforce (Elnaga and Imran, 2013,

evaluates the areas that the employee needs to be developed.

consequences of ineffective training include:
