•        Lower cost of production – training eliminates risks because trained personnel are able to make better and economic use of material and equipment thereby reducing and avoiding waste;

•        Lower turnover – training brings a sense of security at the workplace which in turn reduces labor turnover and absenteeism is avoided;

•       Change management – training helps to manage change by increasing the understanding and involvement of employees in the change process and also provides the skills and abilities needed to adjust to new situations;

•      Provide recognition, enhanced responsibility and the possibility of increased pay and promotion;

Limitation of Executing Effective Training

Fast growing technology affect all types of traditional training methods. Frequent changes in technology and job design of the workforce and the morale of the employees; moreover, there are multiple generations of workers day in day out work together to achieve organizational goals and objectives. Each generation has unique characteristics; therefore, training should be delivered according to the audience type in order to achieve the objectives (Tyler, 2007). Absence of managerial support could restrain the impact of creative training (Birdi, 2005). Poor training atmosphere affects training effectiveness. Effective training depends on the way training has been executed by the trainer and its content (Driskell 2011). Ultimate goals of several employee training and development programs are to deliver the mission of the organization and assist employees to learn the culture of the organization (Gerbman 2000).
