How Important is Training and Development?
 Organization are always changing
– Technology improves
– Organizational values change
– Business strategies change
– Customer needs change
 If KSA are not updated, employees will not perform well.
 Employees are given the opportunity to perform because
they need to be motivated. However, they will not perform
well without ability. ( Performance = A × M × O)
 Ability is not just natural talent, it is mostly learned.
 Therefore, an appropriately trained and developed
workforce can mean the difference between success and
failure.
