Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Training is a planned effort by an organization to facilitate the learning of job-related behaviours for employees on their current jobs. It is done to improve the performance of employees, increase productivity, enhance quality and safety, and achieve organizational goals. Option A is partly correct, but preparing employees for future job responsibilities may fall under development. Option C is referring to outplacement, which is not the purpose of training. Option D is about changing corporate culture, which is a more comprehensive and broader goal that may involve other interventions besides training. Option E is not a valid reason for training.
