1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Organization can reap the rewards of providing training for their employees because well – trained workers help increase productivity and profits. Investing in employee training should improve worker retention rates, customer satisfaction and creativity foe new product ideas, effective training saves labor by reducing time spent on problem – solving and save money in the long run by producing a better workforce.
Saving time and cost: investment in training can improve a company’s financial standing. Poor performance often results when employees don’t know exactly what they are supposed to do, how to do their jobs are supposed to do, how to do their jobs or why they need to work a certain way. Training can help solve these performance problems by explaining the details of the job. This should reduce duplication of effort in the workplace the time spent correcting mistakes and the problem solving necessary to correct bad performances. Improved performance from employee training can reduce staff turnover, lower maintenance costs by reducing equipment breakdowns and result in fewer customer complaints. Better performance from employees typically creates less worker output.
The main primary objective of any organization is that, of growth efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. An organization may have employees that are determined, with appropriate equipment and managerial support, yet their performance falls in most cases is lack of adequate skills and knowledge, which are acquired through training. It is therefore a great importance that the need for training and development of employee be identified and provided for. It is an indispensable part of management function relating to operational efficiency and effectiveness. This is because an organization which puts great emphasis on employee training is directly planning for its survival and steady growth. In order to guard against the obsolescence of employee’s skill knowledge and techniques. There is need for constant training in order to up-date the wealth of knowledge of the employees. Lack of training increases absentees in rate, how output, poor quality job performance which will result in high unit cost.
Therefore when the need for training has been determined, the organization will them have to state clearly the objective which the training programme is expected to achieve.
