What is training?
Employee training is a program that helps employees learn specific knowledge or skills to improve the performance of their current roles. Employee development is broader and focuses on employee growth and future performance rather than the immediate job role. (ALLENCOMM,2021)
In modern management, training and development is a
specialized field under the human resources department to feed in the technical
know-how for recruits on a particular job and develop the skills of the existing
workforce for further improvement.
Training is the most
important part of the human resource management function for the effective use
of human resources. Nowadays, everyone admits the value of training as a major
influence on the success of the organization. Training enhances knowledge and
information about a certain field and also adds an advantage to networking for the
efficiency and performance of employees. ( Atif Khan, M. 2013)
The organization takes 2 modes of training
1 Training for new recruitment

3. Training programs for advancement and new learnings.
These are ways of encouraging and enhancing the skill levels
of employees to perform better and to continue employment, which results in job
satisfaction and empowerment. While training and development are focused
through improve the skill levels to perform a job.

As explained by (Motamarri, 2020) Empowerment has been argued as a possible approach to permit frontline employees (FLEs) to control the complexities of carrier encounters. Organizations should cascade insights from analytics to frontlines for dynamic (re)bundling of carrier factors even as serving customers. However, little or no is understood of how FLEs are empowered in analytics-pushed services

Empowerment is an exertion to allow supervisors trust to subordinates and encourage them to be creative in order to complete their duties as best they can. That empowerment is a process that provides opportunities for workers to set goals related to their own work, make decisions, and solve problems within their own scope of responsibility. Training is the key to organizational strategy to build a sustainable competitive advantage and survival in the organization. Employee orientation is to provide background information to perform their jobs satisfactorily and provide information about company regulations.

Employees shouldn't have to rely on their managers for every single decision for them. They should feel empowered enough to lead themselves for personal and organisational goals. Empowering employees and team is not a typical easy task. It must be handled carefully. They should be trained to be empowered through a learning process. Implementing mentoring and coaching programmes, encourage self pace learning and assessing, opportunities for continuous learning and development, appreciate and reward learning efforts are very important to empower employees.(Andriotis, 2018)
