EFFECTS OF TRAINING ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE


    Figure 1: Impact of training in your career

The main goal of organisational training is to provide employees with the skills necessary to improve your business as a whole. Essentially, trained employees can help obtain high quality products and services in a shorter period of time. Highly skilled workers can offer better customer service experiences and engage more customers for longer periods.

Training is one way of increasing an individual’s productivity. In the training process, employees acquire technical skills, interpersonal skills and solid knowledge in order to perform their jobs efficiently and effectively at the workplace and lack of ongoing training programs leads to lower performance of employees (Nawaz, Masoodul, & Saad, 2014). 

Advantages
When you invest money in training your employees, they feel worthy. With a higher sense of value, employees often feel more loyal to your business. When employees feel more loyal, they are more willing to work hard and longer to make the business a success. Training can also give employees a sense of empowerment. Empowerment is accompanied by a willingness to do everything in their power to get the job done. Overall, trained employees tend to benefit from both their own career and the company they work for.

Disadvantages
Training can also have disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the learning curve that employees may encounter during training or because of the introduction of a new system or technology. For example, if you implement a new software system that employees must use to perform their daily tasks, the time they take to learn the new system can result in a decline in the company's production. Some employees are reluctant to change and may therefore develop a negative attitude towards the new process, which also makes them reluctant to train.

Conclusion
How training is delivered can also affect how employees respond to or use the training. Online training, hands-on training or formal courses or training courses are all options for training employees. Since each employee learns at a different pace and in different ways, it is usually best to offer different training formats so that employees can choose the format that allows them to learn the most. If the employee feels an obstacle to learning, he may not commit to learning at all, which may be contrary to the purpose of the training.
