Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Background to the Study
Training and development is the framework for helping employees to develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge and abilities. The focus of all aspects of human resources development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to customers.
All employees want to be valuable and remain competitive in the labour market at all times. This can only be achieved through employee training and development. Employees will always want to develop career-enhancing skills, which will always lead to employee motivation and retention. There is no doubt that a well trained and developed staff will be a valuable asset to the company and thereby increase the chances of his/her efficiency in discharging his or her duties.
Employers of labour should enable employees to pursue training and development in a direction that they choose and are interested in, not just in-company assigned directions. Companies, organizations, media houses should support learning in general and not just in support of knowledge needed for the employee’s current or next anticipated job. It should be noted that the key factor is keeping the employee interested, attending, engaged, motivated and retained.
