Document Summary
Canadian organizations spend about per employee on training. Average worker receives about 20 hours of training each year. Employees in large businesses are more likely to receive training than those in small businesses. May be a means of achieving employment equity (and training on diversity, gender awareness, or sexual harassment) May be a means of screening employees for promotions or higher positions. May be remedial - to correct perceived performance deficits. May be offered as a reward to successful employees. Ensuring employees get training may result in improved job satisfaction and decreased turnover. Training appears to be particularly effective when evaluated with learning criteria, but is less effective in terms of changing behaviour in the workforce. Training appears to be most effective when there is a match between the type of skill or knowledge being trained and the method of training.
