INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the Study

Several organizations aim at how best their productivity can be improved. Improved productivity calls called for proper and efficient management of both human and material resources of the organization. Most managers recognized training as effective tools in achieving productivity. It is well known fact that organizations always focus and point those activities and programs that can help in the achievements of the objective for which such organizations were established.

It is important that every organization should have a well trained and experience workforce to carry out the various tasks and responsibilities that must be done to achieve organisational goals and objectives. Dynamism and complexity in today’s world of business has made the need for manpower training and development increased tremendously. For an organisation to have an edge over its competitors, manpower training and development is a very important element that management should consider.

In the past, when jobs were simple, easy to learn and influenced only to a small extent by technological changes, there was little or no need for Workerss to upgrade or alter their skills. But, that situation rarely exist in today’s world with the moving in the technological age and globalisation organisations are experiencing which requires frequent transformation and day-to-day update in Workers skills.

Workers productivity is a function of ability, will and situational factors. An organization may have Workerss of ability and determination, with appropriate equipment and managerial support yet productivity falls below expected standards. The missing factor in many cases is the lack of adequate skills, and knowledge which are acquired through training and development. Thus for any organization to really excel amidst its competitors in this technological era and globalization, new skills need to be learned and new abilities must be developed with the changes that comes their ways.

In this light, Vitafoam Nigeria Plc is used as a case study for this research work, being aware of the need to train and develop their human resources to cope with the changes in today’s technological age and globalization.

 

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Large amount of money is spent annually on training and development by most organizations. The essence is to meet the challenges posed by dynamism of today’s work place. It is expected that training and development should enhances and increase knowledge of Workerss on how to do more than it is done presently hence improved performance for the organisation. But the fact that organisations still remains where they were for years, elicit questions on whether training and development usually achieve desired results.

Based on the above mentioned, the study intend to evaluation the type of training and development policies being implemented by Vitafoam Nigeria Plc; how effective is this policies in achieving its objective on training and also problems and solutions associated with the policies. The study also wants to know if there is relationship between training and development with Workers’s performance of Vitafoam Nigeria Plc and the impact of training on workers performance of Vitafoam Nigeria Plc.
