    Well managed organizations have short term and long term training schedules and these programs are conducted without any compromise to the day to day business operations. If training programs are conducted without prior plan, then there could be disruption in some areas of the day to day business operation. This is not a healthy situation.

    Training is an investment to the organisation since the trained employees could perform better with newly acquired skills. It is also a point to consider what type of training is provided. However, different organizations maintain different policies on training and development.
