Need and benefit of Training

Such development, however, should be monitored so as to be purposeful. Without proper monitoring, development is likely to increase the frustration of employees if when, once their skills are developed, and expectations raised, they are not given opportunities for the application of such skills. A good training sub-system would help greatly in monitoring the directions in which employees should develop in the best interest of the organisation. A good training system also ensures that employees develop in directions congruent with their career plans.

Benefits of training

• • As the business world is continuously changing and dynamic, organizations will need to provide to their employee training throughout their careers. If they do not not provide continuous training they will find it difficult to stay ahead of the competition.

  • The other benefit of training is that it will keep employees motivated. New skills and knowledge can help to reduce or minimize

  • boredom. It also demonstrates to the employee that they are valuable enough for the employer to invest in them and their development.

  • Employee Training can be used to create positive attitudes through clarifying the behaviours and attitudes that are expected from the employee by employer.

  • Employee Training can be cost effective, as it is cheaper to train existing employees compared to recruitment of new employee with the skills you need.

  • Training can save the organization money and time if the training helps the employee to become more efficient.

Hence, a well-planned and well-executed training program should result in:

• • Once you start providing training to the employees, they feel they are a part of your company family;

  • Knowledgeable employees make fewer mistakes;

  • reduction in waste and spoilage;

  • improvement in methods of work;

  • reduction in learning time;

  • reduction in supervisory burden;

  • reduction in machine breakage and maintenance cost;
