Through training, any company can raise the ability to adopt and use advance technology. It makes employees more efficient and also motivates them. It increases the knowledge of the employee which in turn enhances the company’s competitive position. Proper training increases productivity and efficiency of organization, decreases employee turnover and need of supervision. Through training, an employee develops a sense of confidence and self-worth and becomes valuable to the organization and to society. The knowledge received through training helps to increase productivity and sense of fulfillment through achievement of any task. Three areas must be considered to identify the reason for training: the organizational goal, the job characteristics and needs of the employees. The resources required for training also needs to be considered otherwise the training program will fail. There are two types of training methods on the job training and off the job training.
