Abstract:

In the highly competitive manufacturing sector, continuous training and development has become a strategic necessity for enhancing employee skills, improving productivity, and ensuring organizational sustainability. This study examines the influence of training and development practices on organizational performance in Indian manufacturing industries. Primary data were collected from 210 manufacturing employees through a structured questionnaire. The study analyzes the impact of training needs assessment, on-the-job training, off-the-job training, and career development programs on productivity, quality improvement, employee retention, and overall organizational effectiveness. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between structured training initiatives and organizational performance, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and skill enhancement in manufacturing environments.
