Introduction

How the employees training and development of HRM will influence the performance of an organization. Herewith some evidences, provide prose reviews and author’s defines to introduce how much importance of training and development in an organizational performance.



Training

Training allows employees to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, perform better, increase productivity and be better leaders, since a company is the sum total of what employees achieve individually, organizations should do everything in their power to ensure that employees perform at their work (Chopra, 2015). In the view of Somasundaram and Egan (2004), numerous organizational adages suggest that people are the key to any successful business operation. This emphasis is not empty as it is becoming increasingly clear that no human enterprise can succeed without properly skilled and knowledgeable human resource development professionals.



According to McCombs, (2009) continuing intrinsic motivation to learn is the result of actively generating and implementing a variety of metacognitive, cognitive, and effective process and skills. An understanding of these process, skills and their interrelationships forms a basis for the design of an effective motivational skills training program. It is further defined by Vasanthi and Kumar, (2018), Cited from (Becker, 1962; Pittam, 1987) ongoing employee development is critical to the short and long term success of every business profit or non-profit.



Development

One is that is aids a focus on the immediate and subsequent effects which behavior has on the individual decision-maker and on the social structure of which is a part. The other one is that it provides basis for an orientation which encourages the identification of individual behavior and structural conditions that simultaneously advance the private and public welfare (Oberle , Stowers and Darby ,2014).Thinking on the development-and its applications in practice-can be properly understood only within its particular historical, political, and institutional contexts. This volume traces the history of thinking in various segments of development, maps the range of approaches to each, and set out options and possibilities for the future (Alder, 2014).

The lack of Training affects the workplace

Your employees can contribute to the success of your company when they are trained to perform their jobs accordingly to the industry standards. The training which essential for management as well as staff is, typically consists of several classes on-site or at a different location during orientation. Some companies consider in the depth training an unnecessary expense and expect new employees to learn on the job from supervisors and older employees. However, this type of training is often inadequate and creates problems for the business (Amo, 2018).



Result

With the industry expertise in the textile manufacturing sector lack of training is the impact to reduce the efficiency level of the subordinates. Accordingly, this has a direct influence to the readiness level of the team and individual performance.

Below are some issues arises before the training.

1.      Duplication of work.

2.      Not holding proper time and action   (T&A).

3.      Communication issues- like wise back and forth mails / arguments.

4.      Sharing incomplete details to the production team and Quality issues.

5.     Failure to maintain committed deliveries was an influence to lose valuable customers.

6.      Looking for new employees.

7.      Customer Complains and claims on the product, for example

Received a claim of USD15000 for garments packed and shipped out with uncut long thread ends, poor stitching and finishing. This claim was not negotiable with the customer and said above amount was deducted from our existing payments. Here very clear how much importance of Training for production line leaders and finishing department leaders this claim would have been avoided, if the company would have trained these leaders timely manner based on the customer’s product requirements which includes quality standard/cost/on time deliveries.

8.      Promotion and additional facilities put on hold.

9.      More cost and less production outcome.



After the above endanger issues, the company decided and provided suitable training.

Below is the existing situation in my workplace, after gaining the training. 

1.     A few errors in employees’ respective job role.

2.     Maintaining a stranded time and action as a procedure for each product.

3.     Cut down the back and forth mail communication and arguments.

4.     Conducting production meeting and sharing complete details.

5.     More focus and improved the quality standard as per the customer’s requirement.

6.    On-time deliveries.

7.    More styles landed and more order placements received to full fill the production capacity.

8.   Existing employees are promoted and training arranged as per skill level requirements.

9.   Best Vendor (best quality & on-time shipments) of the year award received from the customer, there are no such claims from customers. 

10. Each employee are encouraged based on performance and teamwork and Skill level commitments.

11.  Less cost more production.

Conclusion and Recommendation

In the light of all this research and all the materials which is being used to conduct this research and all the literature review we came to the decision that there should be Training and Development in every organization. Although we have review some disadvantages like its costly to give training to the employees, but the advantage of training are much than its disadvantages. We recommend that all organizations should provide training to their impact of Training and Development on Organizational performance, already discussed that training and development have advantages not only employee but the ultimate benefits is for the organization itself (Kahn, 2011).



All above mentioned evidences are much clear, how much importance of Training and Development in an organization, also shared experience how an organization effected due to lack of training and development. Finally the application of training and development for a Garment factory is quite useful. Running a Garment factory necessity of strong, efficient, Skilled and talented and a loyal work force, who also to be satisfied with their job and employees need to do their job in the way the organization this is the main reason the concept of training and development originated. All organizations give emphasize on having a trained and developed workforce so that they can compete strongly in both inside and outside the national boundary. Therefore it’s very identical the training and development is essential in Sri Lankan garment industry to expose and become a major garment exporter in the global garment industry.  Therefore all above mentioned evidences are much clear, how much importance of Training and Development in an organization, also shared experience shows how an organization effected due to lack of training and development. Therefore Training and development is essential for an organization.
