Given this reason, it will be significant to recognise the role of training in economic development, particularly for companies which compete in competitive market. Since training plan, method and trainee recognition is considered as the substantial predicator to measure the effectiveness and succeed of training program. Therefore, training plan, method and trainee recognition have been received much attention from researchers as well as board of management in over the world; 1.1 The significance of study People are the factors that constitute the organization, operation and determine the success or failure of the organization. This is a valuable asset that every organization should know to take advantage and develop. Furthermore, in integration of global economy, the training and development of human resources is considered as a vital task for every organization because strong human resources is the prerequisite to compete and survive in today's competitive environment. Therefore, the improvement of training quality takes an important part in development strategy Training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. Dissertation 8 Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, and performance. In addition to the basic training required for a trade, occupation or profession, observers of the labor-market recognize the need to continue training beyond initial qualifications: to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life. Training presents a prime opportunity to expand the knowledge base of all employees, but many employers find the development opportunities expensive. Employees also miss out on work time while attending training sessions, which may delay the completion of projects. Despite the potential drawbacks, training and development provides both the company as a whole and the individual employees with benefits that make the cost and time a worthwhile investment. Training plan, method and trainee recognition have been received much attention from researchers as well as board of management in over the world: Addressing Weaknesses: Most employees have some weaknesses in their workplace skills. A training program allows you to strengthen those skills that each employee needs to improve. A development program brings all employees to a higher level so they all have similar skills and knowledge. This helps reduce any weak links within the company who rely heavily on others to complete basic work tasks. Providing the necessary training creates an overall knowledgeable staff with employees who can take over for one another as needed, work on teams or work independently without constant help and supervision from others. Improved Employee Performance: An employee who receives the necessary training is better able to perform her job. She becomes more aware of safety practices and proper procedures for basic tasks. The training may also build the employee's Dissertation 9 confidence because she has a stronger understanding of the industry and the responsibilities of her job. This confidence may push her to perform even better and think of new ideas that help her excel. Continuous training also keeps your employees on the cutting edge of industry developments. Employees who are competent and on top of changing industry standards help your company hold a position as a leader and strong competitor within the industry. Consistency: A structured training and development program ensures that employees have a consistent experience and background knowledge. The consistency is particularly relevant for the company's basic policies and procedures. All employees need to be aware of the expectations and procedures within the company. This includes safety, discrimination and administrative tasks. Putting all employees through regular training in these areas ensures that all staff members at least have exposure to the information. Employee Satisfaction: Employees with access to training and development programs have the advantage over employees in other companies who are left to seek out training opportunities on their own. The investment in training that a company makes shows the employees they are valued. The training creates a supportive workplace. Employees may gain access to training they wouldn't have otherwise known about or sought out themselves. Employees who feel appreciated and challenged through training opportunities may feel more satisfaction toward their jobs.
