Impact of training and development on employee performance of a knit garment factory in Bangladesh

Abstract

Nothing gets done without workers, not even machinery, materials or even money; human resource is the most important asset of any organization. A human being is dynamic; thus employee training and development are vital for maintaining workers on track with the current competitive environment. Employee performance is a key element and the base for improving an organization’s overall success.

This thesis aims to examine the effects of training and development on employee performance in a knit garments factory in Bangladesh. The thesis aims to understand the perception of training and development among the employees of the company and the critical factor that influences their performance. For that, questionnaires were distributed among the company's one hundred employees, of which sixty-five responses were collected and analysed.

The outcome of the thesis provided an understanding of the effect of training practices in the company and the performance of the employees in terms of problem-solving, facilitation in high workload, workplace safety, and sustainable development. The results are of great importance as they provide empirical evidence which can be used to design strategy to boost the employees’ performance and improve workplace satisfaction.
