With the availability of training in accordance with the terms of reference, it can improve the performance of employees in addition to producing a quality product or service to the organization or customer.

However, the training should be reviewed on an appropriate and frequency. This is to avoid the tired staff should attend the same course every year. My suggestion is have a team building every two or three years for strengthen the relation of employees.

Through training, knowledge, skills, attitudes and personal values of an employee can be increased in line with the changes that occur within the scope of their career (Hellriegel, Jackson and Slocum, 1999).
