supervising them. It also boosts confidence of the employees, who work without
absenteeism and with dedication.

perform the tasks quickly and those who are slow learner and performers.

operating machinery, there will be no need of supervisor; as the employee
himself is sufficient enough to do a good job.

DISADVANTAGES OF TRAINING
EMPLOYESS AND DEVELOPMENT/DISADVANTAGES OF STAFF TRAINING
There are many kinds of
training and developments are provide to all employees of a company or organization.
The training is helpful for the development of the employees for their growth
in the organization. Promotion is also done with the help of training. But if
training is important for all employees of the organization it has also some
cons or disadvantages of the training and development of employees.
EXPENSIVE
One of the biggest employee
training and development disadvantage is cost. A company can handle employee
training initially but the cost of training and development is not easily
handled by any company or organization. For example, if you use an outside
trainer for the training of employees, you have to pay him. And on the other
way, send a trainer to another location, the company have also bothered his
payment for his efforts.
BENEFITS DEPEND ON
TRAINER
sometimes, companies choose a trainer for the employees from one of their good employee, who is good in his works. But in that particular situation trainer can’t provide good training to employees because he or she is only good in his own work. Work as a trainer is a difficult job for that particular employee and he cants makeover another employees personality. So the quality of training only depends on a good trainer.
REQUIRED MORE TIME
A trainer cant provides
enough time to employees because he or she may be busy in his own tasks. Some
employees are pretty weak in their performance and they required more time
training for the success in their work. A company or trainer does not give them
extra time and they are not so good in their work.
CAN INCREASE COMPETITION
Did the training and
development to your employees increase your competition? Yes, because you give
training to your inexperienced employees for the work in your company. By
giving training to your employees you can increase the competition level for
your organization. Before deciding to invest in advanced training programs,
it’s important to judge the loyalty of your staff.
LACK OF CORPORATE COMMITMENT
Lack of organizational commitment is one of
the main concerns seen in many companies. Majority of corporations are least
concerned to invest money for the training of their employees working at a
lower level. In case, they invest money to provide training and development
programs it is preferably for the superior level.
UNAFFORABLE FOR SMES
Small-and medium-sized enterprises avoid
training and development program for their employees as the investment incurred
in these programs is very high. Sometimes the cost is incurred so much that it
becomes unaffordable for these small-and medium-scale companies.
LACK OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT
FROM GOVERNMENT
When the government is unable to provide
sufficient financial support to the big organizations due to any reason, it
becomes really difficult for these concerns to conduct any kind of training
program for the enhancement of the employees. Thus, the training benefits are
not utilized properly which in turn hinders the growth of the workers.
LOW AVAILABILITY OF
SKILLED AND EMPLOYABLE GRADUATES
Sometimes organization has to arrange for the
training programs to teach even the basic skills to the employees. In such
cases, training programs are strained as the training become more time
consuming and expensive.
LACK OF INSTITUTION AND
INDUSTRY CORPORATION
There is a direct connection
between the training institutes and industrial sector as the communication
between the two can form a best way of swapping the common requirements. But
due to lack of this coordination, companies are unable to communicate the
skills and capabilities that employees should encompass within them.
