Article 8:The Impact of Training and Development on Employee Performance Appraisal

 



As stated by Devi & Shaik (2012). The methods of training and development are complimentary. They are interconected and interdependent, instead of hierarchical and chronological. For staff members, training and growth are extremely important, the business and their efficiency.

The most significant aspect of human resource management, and the area that is growing the fastest, is training. Training that is referred to as a program of nutrition and exercise to improve the efficiency of the personnel, The growth of an employee's cognitive and psychomotor capabilities is essential for firms in order to boost productivity. (Ezeani & Oladele, 2013). 

Furthermore, one of the most crucial organizational dynamics is manpower training and development. It serves as the turning point for how an organization controls its survival. One of the most popular methods to boost individual productivity and educate staff of organizational goals is through the training process. (Ezeuwa,, 2009). 

Additionally, human labor serves as the basis for all resources and is a necessary instrument for converting other resources into ones that the human race can utilize and earnings from. Therefore, evaluating how successfully we cultivate and use human resources skills will determine how much we can achieve as a country. Every human institution depends around its human resources. Manpower is still highly important even in wealthy and industrialized nations where the use of machines and technology is at an advanced degree. (Comma, 2008). 

In furthermore, education is the key to uncovering potential opportunities for growth and development for obtaining a competitive edge. In this scenario, organizations train and develop their employees to the utmost extent possible in order to boost their effectiveness. (Devi & Shaik, 2012). 

The objective of development and training

Improving organizational and personnel capacities is the objective of training and management development programs. When an employee's performance drops low of their possibility, there could be a requirement for training. (or group of employees),for the purpose to determine whether such a gap necessitates a skill assessment. Success in leadership development demands training. Training is essential for the growth of leaders. The objective of training and development is to enhance the skills of employees. These are the advantages that training and development are intended to bring. These customary or traditional trainings might be formal or unauthorized. (Anikel and Ekwe, 2014).




Employee advantages of development and training

Providing people of an organization knowledge via training can boost their effectiveness and production. (Leard, 2010). Since they have valued employees, firms can function more effectively because of training. In addition, training is required for developing new leaders. (Noe, 2002). Conducting training activities has multiple benefits for organizations and for individuals. (McNamara, 2010). It also helps eliminate fear in attempting new tasks 

In the end but not least, it is undeniable that investing in effective instruction is an investment in an organization's people resources, both in the near and long term. However, firms must manage training programs more effectively in order to maximize their return on investment. Merely investing funds into training is not sufficient. Every training and development program's primary objective is to enhance the value of its human resources. Courses for training and development that don't bring value ought to be discontinued. Because staff training is considered as a tool or means for staff growth rather than from a holistic perspective as a tool for staff development, the issue of staff training and development is addressed lightly and ignored, maintenance for greater performance and retention (Raja Abdul Ghafoor Khan, 2011).

In conclusion, in my scenario, I work for one of the leading rubber tyer manufacturing company, we maintain an annual employee training schedule to cover all segment of departments and selected employees throughout the year, and also an evaluation program has to be done after two weeks of getting complete the training by the immediate supervisor of the particular employee. Then, the participants have to be categorized according to their performance with respect to the particular training (ISO 22000:2018 Manual).

  6. Agreed. Training and Development also contributes the company to create an edge over its competitors. The term is also defined by many researchers in vivid ways. For instance, Armstrong states: "Training is the formal and systematic modification of behavior through learning which occurs as a result of education, instruction, development and planned experience. Development is improving individual performance in their present Roles and preparing them for greater responsibilities in the future”. Katz & Kahn view it as "a maintenance subsystem, intended to improve organizational efficiency by increasing routinization and predictability of behavior”. For Kllatt, Murdick & Schuster, training is “a systematic way of altering behavior to prepare an employee for a job or to improve the employee’s performance on the present job, and development is preparing an employee for improving the conceptual, decision-making, and interpersonal skills in complex, in structured situation”. Lussier opines “Training is a process of acquiring the skills necessary to perform a job and development is the ability to perform both present and future jobs”.

  7. Good one Wasantha. The article highlights the advantages of providing development and training opportunities to employees within an organization. Firstly, it emphasizes that training can enhance employees' knowledge and skills, leading to increased effectiveness and productivity. This is beneficial not only for individual employees but also for the overall efficiency of the organization. Furthermore, the article underlines the importance of training in grooming future leaders. Developing leadership skills is crucial for the long-term success of any organization. Training activities are seen as a means to achieve this goal. However, the benefit of the training and development has been address to the organization but not to the employee. Can you explain how does training impact an individual ?

    1. Training significantly impacts an individual through various aspects, including skill development, knowledge acquisition, improved performance, career advancement, personal growth, health and fitness, behavioral changes, social and interpersonal skills, adaptability, and financial impact. Training can lead to improved performance, increased confidence, and success in specific areas, while also promoting career advancement and personal growth. Physical training, behavioral therapy, and social and interpersonal skills can improve cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and overall fitness levels. Financial training, such as investment education or financial planning courses, can directly impact an individual's financial well-being by helping them make informed decisions and manage their finances. The long-term effects of training may become more apparent over time as individuals continue to apply and build upon the knowledge and skills they have acquired.
