The Effect of Training and Developing Employees on the Performance of an Organisation

Abstract: Training and developing programs are seen in organisations as means of increasing the relevance of the organisation solely by elevation of employee effectiveness. Human capital is valuable to an organisation. Employees are the mitochondria of an organisation as it is through them that the organisation’s goals are realised. Therefore, offering training and development activities is becoming a vital venture for organisations. Training and development of employees requires a commitment of resources, often in the form of time and money. This being the case, there exists a risk that the results of the training and development would not be worth the financial cost. There is also a risk that the training and development would not translate into improved organisational performance, therefore it could simply be considered a waste of time. It was deemed necessary to investigate the impact that training and developing employees has on the performance of an organisation, the types of training, and challenges associated with training and development programs that employees or management may face. Training and development programs are a worthwhile investment. The results both long term and short term reveal that they stimulate motivation and job satisfaction in employees which in turn leads to high employee productivity and overall an increase in the organisation’s financial returns. Keywords: Training and developing programs, employee productivity, organisation’s goals, organisation’s financial returns.
