A Review of the Strategies Used in the IT sector for Employee Training and Development

Abstract

Purpose: In the current economic climate, the ability of the organisation to find and keep quality people will determine its success or failure. The lifeblood of any firm is its workforce. The performance of the firm's employees determines whether it succeeds or fails. The basis of such success is thought to be employees who have received substantial training and development. The focus of the research was to identify this connection amidst employee performance, productivity along with instruction, and advancement. Numerous research studies have acknowledged this essential function. For example, they have emphasised the importance of maximising employees' contributions to the business's aims and goals in order to maintain effective performance. Employees are a costly and precious resource. Companies that place a high priority on shareholders and customer satisfaction value employee development because they acknowledge the significance of training initiatives. The productivity is increased by the numerous training and development programmes offered by IT companies to their employees. The goal the current study seeks to look at the various theoretical models together with frameworks connected to workforce development through training and development programmes and their effects on employee performance. The current paper provides a succinct assessment of the research on the value of training and how it boosts worker performance.
