This
paper looks at the recent recognition by British
employers of the significance and
importance to a successful business of properly trained employees. The paper also looks at how there has not been conclusive evidence to suggest that improved employee
training leads to a tangible increase in
performance and, thus, profitability, but how it has been established that lack of training activity can adversely affect organizational performance. The paper goes on to look at how British employers have decided to approach the issue of employee training and some of the different methods and
strategies that have been used. Finally, the paper looks at ways of evaluating the training strategies and discusses the importance of these evaluations.
