Abstract
This chapter constitutes the general introduction to the study. It is
made up of the background to the study. The background contains general and
specific issues on investment in training and development, statement of the
problem, the objectives of the study, research questions, scope and
significance of the study and the organization of the study.
Investment in training and development has been a great concern to
management of most organizations. Some of the reasons assigned to these
concerns are that employee development has been seen as cost rather than an
investment in the United Kingdom (UK) although this is certainly changing in
some organizations. Comparatively, UK organizations give little concern to
training and development compared with other European countries Harris
(2002).
A view is widely held that it is difficult to provide evidence of causal
link between employee development and organizational performance. Serious
concern about training in the U.K. surfaced during the boom of the mid –
1980s when as a result of general expansion employers in all sectors were
having to compete more vigorously for staff, a competition which exposed the
underlying weakness of the skills base on the UK labour market. This problem
was given added impetus by warnings about sending demographic.
