Training and Development: An Integrated & Strategic Evaluation Approach to Business Success

Abstract

Often heard that, "training is the essence of any business activity to success”.  Is this true to an extent or is just a myth? Many managers and leaders might answer this as a true activity that training and developing employees goes hand in hand. Any organization to achieve success must train its employees. "No training in turns no knowledge reinforcement which in turn leads to demoralized employee's attitude and confidence in job performance. In current scenarios, organizations do not realize the significance of training. Many employees are left empty handed once they are acquired by the companies and hence the results are poor performance. The main aim of making research on such a worldwide accepted though ignored concept is to realize that what impact it creates in employee's minds when training doesn't take place in an effective manner or what happens when organizations imparts learning and fails to evaluate it in the correct best possible manner? Basically, the research is conducted to study the correlation between the imparted training and its reaction from learners and the genuine learning. The paper concludes with the motive that organizations realize the true meaning of training and development by following rigorous steps and flawless learning takes place that not only motivates employees but also encourage them to perform well in their jobs and yields a high return on investment. Conducting too long or too short trainings is not the matter of discussion however the question posed is, "does training conducted on fallacious beliefs affects employees behavior and if so to what extent and what impact does it create on business success”?
