The book communicates the steps of training employees in a competitive business environment. It is a valuable guide for students, professionals, business owners, managers, and leaders as it explains the strategies for enhancing the competencies of staff. Key competencies that training enhances include skills, knowledge, experience, and attitude of the staff. Training is a competitive advantage strategy that builds the capacity of the workforce and motivates the staff to achieve set performance targets effectively and efficiently.

Your organization's survival depends on employee training - to brush off the importance of upgrading the skills of your employees is a dangerous strategic mistake.
