CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

The need to retrain workers is often thought to apply to older members of the workforce, many of whom saw their occupations disappear and their skills lose value as technology, outsourcing and a weak economy combined to erode their ability to make a living.

The stereotype for retraining needs is the older worker because the gap between the skilledworkers possesssome years back and those that employers are actively seeking has significantlychanged.

Some years back, retraining of employee is not so important as it seems so optional (Mabel &Olomukoro, 2012). But due to advancement in technology which has changed the direct role of a secretary to an office professional that typically needs more skills in order to handle modern office equipment, then; the need for retraining is of great importance.

According to Odiagbe (2004) training is the systematic building or improvement of a person’s knowledge, skill and attitude for satisfactory performance. The survival and success of any organization to a large extent depends on well qualified and result oriented employees in such organizations.

This is because any organization that has abundant manpower resources that can be harnessed or controlled within its domain will continue to play a leading role in the pursuit of her goals and objectives.

Thus, retraining of workers involves the renewal or updating of worker’s skills, knowledge, attitude, work habits and competencies to enable them perform their assigned responsibilities creditably (Imhabekhai, 2000). He went further to say that retraining is a function of observed training needs and the amount of changes which have taken place in the techniques of production.

Office professionals on the other hand is seen as someone who is trained on how to handle office equipment and take care of office activities such as receiving correspondents and handling files (Abdulkadir, 2012).

Retraining of office professionals are very vital to the productivity of any organization considering the technological changes taking place in the world of work. This means that office professionals must be trained to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to be able to meet with these changes and perform their assigned roles in the organization towards the achievement of organizational goals.

Retraining is very vital to the success of every worker most especially in this era of rapid change in technology. Office professionals are of no exception as without this, being obsolete over a certain period of time is inevitable. This prompted the researcher to embark on the topic retraining needs of office professionals.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

Retraining has been acknowledged the world over as necessary for effective performance of the labour force. This gives the reason why jobs are associated or correlated with the level of training.

However, experience has shown that most organizations do not properly utilize human resources within their domain by way of either formal training is not provided or appropriate techniques is used thereby leaving this important resources to waste.

More so, organizations are faced with the problem of retraining workers with minimum or no cost at all. Studies have shown that without retraining of office professionals, productivities of the organization are at stake. Yet, organizations find it difficult to leave the office professionals to go on training outside the organization.
