Give any four reasons in support of you answer.

Answer 1

No, as per my opinion, manager’s view point is not correct. Training is beneficial for both, viz organisation and for workers.

Training is important for an organisation

Training is important for an organisation because of the following reasons;

(i) Training of the workers leads to increase in productivity and reduction of wastages.

(ii) It reduces absenteeism and labour turnover as trained workers become more confident and thus, they become regular and stick to their job and place.

(iii) It is required to teach technology and work methods to employees.

Training is important for the employees

(iv) Systematic learning Training is systematic learning, always better than hit and trial method which leads to reduction of wastage of efforts and money.

(v) Increase in productivity A trained worker is more efficient in his work. He has better knowledge, skills and speed for his job. This leads to increase output which is profitable for the enterprise.

(vi) Fewer accidents Trained employees are proficient in handling machinery and equipment. Thus, less prone to accidents.
