Importance of Training and Development in an Organizational Development


Training and career development are very vital in any company or organization that aims at
progressing. This includes decision making, thinking creatively and managing people.
Training and development is so important because:
 Helps in addressing employee weaknesses
 Improvement in worker performance
 Consistency in duty performance
 Ensures worker satisfaction
 Increased productivity
 Improved quality of service and products
 Reduced cost
 Reduction in supervision

In India, many companies other than multi-nationals are not meeting the employee demands
with reference to training and development and ultimately the gaps found in the required
skills vis-a-vis attained skills have become so wide that inter-relationships of training and
performance are badly disturbed. There is still a big gap between the knowledge and skills
imparted and acquired in the institutions and its applications as seen in the industrial
environments. Due to this gap, companies now feel that there should be a close liaison
between such institutions and the industry so that employee development programs are made
more purpose oriented. There are training institutions which offer customized as well as off-
the-shelf programs based on their client’s business operations but yet, there is much to be
improved.
Therefore, training and development cannot be disconnected from the business activities of
the organizations; on the contrary, this is the area that clearly illustrates positive relationships
between training activities and the organizational performance. In particular it is recognised
that an effective training and development policy can be a crucial factor in addressing
inequalities in employment in relation to race, gender and disabilities. It is recommended that
organization produce a training and development plan, the aim of which shall be to empower
all employees to carry out their roles to the highest standards, and deliver high quality
services to customer. In these guidelines, training and development are broadly defined as
those activities aimed at raising the standards of employee practice and thus lifting the quality
of the employees, and customers learning and organisation experiences.
