Abstract

T&D is an important factor in improving human performance and organizational success, while maintaining a competitive edge. The purpose of this study is attempting to explore the relationship between T&D programs and employee performance in management sciences. A combination of surveys and interviews was used to collect information from employees in organizations. Research has found a positive link between well-designed T&D programs and enhanced employee performance (Divella, 2005). In particular, workers reporting targeted training are more satisfied on the job, more skilled and generally more productive. The research also reveals the importance of ongoing professional development programs in boosting employee engagement and commitment. Results indicate that the investment in human resource training not only pays individuals to invest in human resources and contribute positively to the performance of organizations. Corporate implications are the importance of adapting training to job requirements and assure on-going learning support for employees. This is a gap in the literature regarding how training programs are related to actual performance.
