Training

Training is the systematic process of altering the behavior, knowledge, and/or motivation of employees in a direction to increase organizational goal achievement. Training may be defined as a planned program designed to improve performance and to bring about measurable changes in knowledge, skills, attitude and social behavior of employees for doing a particular job. According to Decenzo and Robbins, employees training is a learning experience in that it seeks a relatively permanent change in employees that will improve his/her ability to perform on the job. Thus, training involves changing skills, knowledge, attitude or behavior. Thus a formal training program is an effort by the employer to provide opportunities for the employee to acquire job-related skills, knowledge, attitudes or behavior.
