Abstract

The success of business organisations in today’s very competitive environment depends significantly on the people working in those organisations. Employee training and development happen to be one of the strategies as they positively affect both employee and organisational performance. There are different methods available for employee training and development. The aim of this research work is to improve training and development Programme in Pharmaceutical firms for enhanced employee performance. The data for the research work were generated using questionnaires and oral interviews. Data obtained was presented in tabular form using simple percentages. The results show that the level of training and development in pharmaceutical firms is at a low level. The results also show that there is a positive correlation between training and development and employee performance. Using the decision matrix, having in place a training process was found to be the most appropriate option for implementation.
