“The Role and importance of organizational training and development “
The main aim of the paper is to study the importance of training and development of the
employees by considering overall performance of the organization. Training and development
plays a great role to enhance the productivity level of the employees who are working in the
organization. It is the field which is related with the organizational activity and the main aim is to
increase the performance of the individual or the groups. Training is a method adopted by the
organization to enhance the knowledge of the employees. The employee to whom the effective
training is given conducts its operations in a viable way. Training helps the employees to
understand the working pattern of the organization in a proper manner. If the training is not
given to the employees then it can be difficult to conduct its operations efficiently. The proper
understanding about the work is only established when the employee is given proper training.
Training and development provides advantage to the organization and also to the employees of
the organization.
Training gives positive outcome to the company. The results that are attained by the
organization are positive results. Training covers a huge cost of the company but it shows
employees that they are valued in the organization. If effective training is provided by the
organization, then it creates a supportive environment in the workplace. By training the
employees they feel confident to conduct the activities or the task of the organization. It is seen
that if the organization do not provide effective training to the employees or the fresher’s then it
can be very difficult to attain the goals and objectives of the organization. Training is an
important aspect that should be taken into consideration for the employees who are working in
the organization. Without training the employees will feel a challenge to complete their task or
the activities that are assigned to them.
Training helps to enhance the level of satisfaction and morale of the employees who are
working in the organization. The employees who create a supportive environment for other
employees enhance the success of the organization. It is seen that employees will be supportive
when they are satisfied with their job. If the employees are not satisfied with the job then it can
create obstacles on the workplace. There are many employees who possess weakness in their

Human resource management
workplace skills. Training program helps to strengthen those skills that are necessary for every
employee of the organization. The program related with development enhances the level of
employees to higher level so that every employee of the organization has same skills and
knowledge. This gives main focus on reducing the weak links that are in the organization.
Training creates a knowledgeable staff that will help to complete the activities of the
organization on time.
Training and development program sees that the employees should have background
knowledge and also experience to conduct the activities of the organization. It is the
responsibility of the consumer to be aware about the policies and procedures of the organization.
The enhancement in the working pattern of the employees can help to attain the financial gain of
the company (Sung & Choi, 2014). If training is given in proper manner then the productivity
level and quality standard of the work is increased. If the working quality of the employees is
increased then the organization can attain the success effectively. Productivity is enhanced when
a company focuses on implementing proper training courses to the employees of the
organization. Enhancement in the efficiency will give positive outcome and also improve the
turnover and market share of the company (Wilson, 2014).
Training discloses all the skills of an individual and helps to access the capability of the
employees to perform the task. The main role of training and development is to give profitability
to the organization and enhance the capability of an individual. The creativity is enhanced if the
employees get training to conduct the operations of the organization. From training it is analyzed
that new ideas are created by the employees to complete the activities (Storey, 2014). The
employee’s turnover is reduced because by training they feel that they are valued in a proper
way. Training and development is considered as an additional benefit that is given to the
company. Staff retention is also an important aspect that is concerned with training. If proper
training is given, then it can be seen that employees work with full dedication towards the work.
If the employees work with full dedication then staff retention can be enhanced (Purce, 2014).
Training and development also increases the reputation and profile of the company. If the
company has a strong training strategy it assists to create the employer brand and make the
organization a prime consideration for the fresher’s. Training also gives direct impact on
attracting new potential recruiters who try to enhance their skills and opportunities that are linked

Human resource management
with the new skills. There are various types of training related with the work. Training is
decided according to working style of the employees. Examples of some training are on the job
training, in-house training and also the individual study (Phillips & Phillips, 2016).
There are various approaches concerned with training and it is the responsibility of the
organization to implement the training approaches in a proper way. The first approach is reactive
approach, in which it is related with the reactions and also to handle the technical skills
concerned with the employees. The next is proactive approach which is considered to develop
the competencies of the employees (Beardwell & Thompson, 2014). These approaches help the
employees to do the work in a corrective direction.
Training and development is an essential element of every business so that the potential
capability of the employees can be harnessed in a viable manner. Training and development
assist to enhance the corporate image and also create a team spirit within the organization.
Training and development assist to improve the health and safety of the organization and also it
prevents obsolescence. Training and development is considered as a vital part for an organization
that gives focus on progressing (Ford, 2014). It helps in decision making and also to manage the
people of the organization. It is an essential part because it assists in disclosing the employee
weaknesses and also by this the direct impact is given on the workers performance. If proper
training is implemented in the organization then it is seen that there is less requirement of
supervision and the satisfaction level of the workers is enhanced (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014).
Employees training and development program are very useful to enhance the self-
efficiency of an individual. Training is a common part that is taken into consideration by every
organization. By providing training the employee capability is analyzed by the trainer. The
training manager has the information that is needed to achieve the goals of the organization.
Training is given by seminars, workshops or by meetings. Training is only the method that helps
to improve the knowledge and skills of the employees that are necessary to conduct the day to
day operations of the business. It is a strategy that is taken into consideration by the organization
for growth and expansion. It is adopted by the organization so that the gap can be filled between
the skills and the future opportunities (Marchington, Wilkinson, Donnelly & Kynighou, 2016).
The training programs helps to enhance the skill, improve efficiency and helps to attain the
productivity of the organization. To improve the capability of the employees who are working in

Human resource management
the organization the organizational structure should also be improved. There are various
organizations that give coaching to their employees so that the creativity, thinking, innovation
and vision can be developed. The organization should not appoint the employees without giving
training. To develop the skills of the employees the organization should systematically focus on
the skills by providing training and development programs (Greco, Charlier, Christopher &
Brown, 2014).
Training should be evaluated by taking into consideration corrective measures.
Motivation also plays a great role as it is seen that the motivation level can be enhanced if proper
training is given to the employees who are working in the organization. The organization invests
in training with the expectation that the outcome will be in a positive way. It is very important
for a training manager to keep the issues in the mind at the time of making successful training
programs. Employee motivation of training should be considered at the time of making need
analysis (Sparrow, Brewster & Chung, 2016).The training program helps to meet the need of the
employees so that the motivation level can be induced in a proper way. Training and
development is very essential to be taken into consideration by the organization, as the success
depends on the training programs offered by the company to its employees. Training is very
necessary for enhancing the profitability and productivity of the organization. To attain the better
results the executives should focus on the activities that are conducted by the organization (Haff
& Triplett, 2015).
