Abstract:
Employee training and Career Development are important not only for the employee but
also for the organization itself. Employee Training and Employee Career Development will
provide the organization with highly skilled and well-developed employees. Training is a
learning experience in that it seeks relatively permanent change in an individual that will
improve the ability to perform on the job. Employee training and Employee development are
both similar in the methods used to effect learning; only their time frames differ. Training is
more present day oriented; its focus is on individuals’ current jobs, enhancing those specific
skills and abilities to immediately perform their jobs. Employee development, on the other hand,
generally focuses on future jobs in the organizations.
Presence of highly qualified trainers for employees having a specific level of education,
experience, skills, attitudes and personal motivations will further enhance the effectiveness of the
Employee Training and Development. Training is believed to increase the morale of the
employees. It is observed that organizations which are concerned about there employee training
and development needs have very loyal employees.
Through better Training Programs, organizations are able to change their employees’
skills, knowledge, attitudes towards their jobs and related performances as well as their behavior. Training and Development programs prepare employees to develop skills necessary for the organization to survive in today’s world of thriving competition.
