INTRODUCTION
Training and development is one of the important function if the human resource
management. It refers to the activities conducted by the organisations for the development of
workers and their performance. Lack of training and development programs demotivate workers
and make them to look outside for better opportunities which is not good for the growth of
companies. It is essential to organise various programs and activities for the career development and
performance improvement of the workers to provide them higher level of job satisfaction. Low
performance results to affect the market position, productivity, profitability, work management,
brand image, etc of the company as well (Valentine and et.al., 2011). The proposed essay is based
on the impact of training and development on employee performance. It includes training and
development, its need, types and impact on performance of the workers.
Paragraph 1
Training and development:
According to the McGrath, 2012, “Training and development programs are called as
educational process as they lead to develop the skills, abilities and knowledge of the workers which
is good for their career growth and development” (McGrath, 2012). In favour to this Van Vianen,
Dalhoeven and De Pater, 2011, have stated that “Effective development activities lead to sharp the
skills, concepts, changes the attitude, personality and increases the area of information which tends
to improve the performance of the employees” (Van Vianen, Dalhoeven and De Pater, 2011). With
respect to these statements, I also think that training and development programs are important for
the progress and success of an organisation. It helps in keeping the staff members updated with the
changing market and its requirements. For example, Marriott Hotel of UK conducts various training
programs for developing communication, customer handling, problem solving and team
management skills. These activities result to provide job satisfaction to the staff members and they
like to give the best efforts in achieving the objectives.
On the other hand Bullen, 2014, has said that “Training programs lead to reduce the
employee stress, improves relation among them, improves working environment and organisational
culture along with the behaviour of the staff members” (Bullen, 2014). In contrast to it Surbhi,
2015, has declared that “Training and development programs on regular interval of time not only
develops the individual professionally but also results to improve its living standard and social life.
It helps worker in achieving the objective of quality life by fulfilling basic needs' step by step”
(Surbhi, 2015).
