1.1 BACKGROUND STATEMENT
Manpower training and development must be based on a need analysis derived from a comparison of “actual’ performance” and behavior with “required performance” and behavior manpower training and development is one of the major ways organization invests in the work force for greater return today and even in the foreseeable future.
Organizational effectiveness rests on the efficient and effective performance of workforce that makeup the organization. The efficient and effective performance of the work forces in turn, rest on the richness of the knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by the workforce. Manpower training and development in most organizations is a continuous act/exercise. The inexorable march of time and the ceaseless glamour for social change combine to make adaptability and continuing preparation of the workforce as inevitable as the initial acquisition of knowledge and skills.
This cannot happen if employees training and development do not occur in an enterprise. In other to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the organization, every executive, manager or supervisor in a public or private organization has the responsibility and indeed bounding duty to ensure the development of their employees who have requisite knowledge and expertise.
Training is like sharpening and existing skill in order to reflect the trends in technology and other social — cultural environmental changes of organization productivity is the goal of today’s competitive business world and training can be spring board to enhance productivity.
The aim is to enable them contribute their full measure to the welfare, health and development of the organization (Onah 1993). The main objective of training and development in service organization is to increase efficiency of employees with the resulting increase in corporate productivity. This accounts for why a large number of funds and time is expected by organization at one period or the other in the improvement of the skills of their employees at various levels.
The principal intention of training according to AKPAN (1982:128) is to equip people with the knowledge required to qualify them for a particular position of employment or to improve their skills and efficiency in the position they already hold.
