Impact of training on employee performance.

Abstract

The dismissals, sanctions and punishments given to employees at their work place prompted the researcher to find out what was happening. In doing so, the researcher found out, the employees were lacking in some areas of their work and it made the researcher come up with this study of the impact of training on employees’ performance. To achieve this, the researcher came up with the main objective of the study which was to find out how training will have an impact on employees’ performance. From this main objective, the researcher was able to come up with some research questions such as, what training techniques, theories and training delivery methods organizations put in place for a better training for their employees to help them get the required knowledge and skills they need.

To get answers to these questions, the researcher used both primary and secondary ways to collect data for the study and used some sampling techniques. The researcher took a sample of thirty workers from the organization and administered a questionnaire to them. Though faced with difficulties during the process of acquiring necessary information needed, the researcher still managed to get various responses from the employees when the questionnaires were administered, and the researcher was able to come up with the conclusion that, training does have a positive impact on employees' performance.

The researcher noticed that organizations could not meet up with the various changes in the market environment, the technology, population growth, demands, taste and fashion of customers. To meet up with all these changes, training is involved. Also, the researcher noticed that, some employees are instead kicked out of organizations when they fail to give out the required skills needed for the job. The researcher decided to find out how far and how deep organizations take and consider training for their employees and how it will affect their performance at work.
