Training & Development- A Study on the Role of Training and Development in Enhancing Employee Performance and Organizational Growth

Abstract: Training and Development (T&D) is one of the most practical ways to improve employee performance and drive business growth. In today’s fast-paced market, companies need a skilled and adaptable workforce, especially in strict, highly regulated industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing. This study evaluates how effective the T&D practices are at Gopaldas Visram & Company Limited (GVCL) in Halol, and looks at how these programs actually impact employee output and the company's success. We collected our data by surveying 100 employees using a structured questionnaire. To make sense of the responses, we used descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and linear regression. The results showed a very strong positive link ($r = 0.85$) between good training and highly motivated employees. Additionally, our regression model proved that for every one-unit improvement in training quality, employee performance goes up by 0.83 units.

Ultimately, this study confirms that well-planned training programs do more than just teach skills—they directly boost performance, reduce mistakes, and help the organization grow.
