Investment in training and development has remarkable returns to the organization.

Training and development is important for new employees. This serves as the platform to get new employees to understand the job and the work environment. This will also support to identify the skill gaps and address them. By having such a process, the organizations will benefit because if employees directly start working without a training it will take time for them to understand the requirements of the organization which will lead to issues in the organization context.

All employees have their own weakness so training and development facilitates to identify those and support the employees to minimize them. Training and Development facilitates employees to be prepared to take higher responsibilities which will benefit the organization because a group of employees have already been trained for the positions so if there is need there are people to step in so the flow of the organization does not disturb.

It makes sures employees are up to date with the changes in the industry.  If employees are not updated with the latest trends this could hugely impact the organization negatively because the current market is highly competitive so organizations should be up to date to withstand the competition. The training of employees can have a positive impact on the culture of the organization, as it increases job satisfaction, engagement and retention.

The 2023 Value of Enablement Report found that 50% of employees are considering leaving their company due to a lack of training. Additionally, IBM found that only 21% of new hires intend to stay at an organization that doesn’t offer training for their current role compared to 62% of new employees who do have access to ongoing training (The importance of workplace training and development 2023).

A consistent learning experience and level of knowledge for all employees is provided by an effective training programme. Employees who have gone to the correct training require less supervision and guidance. Training and development improve necessary skills in employees and prepares them to complete tasks independently. This also gives the freedom for the management to focus on urgent issues.

Training and development programs have a great impact on the organization. Training and development should focus on the achievement of a targeted and tangible result for the organization, in line with all further functions within it. The key is to treat it seriously and consider it a capital investment and make it results-driven.
