Role and Importance of Training Climate for Effective Training Programs

Abstract

It is widely recognized that training has to come out of its traditional dormant state to the main stream of corporate functioning and contribute proactively towards attainment of organizational objectives. However, this long overdue importance will be short-lived if training professionals do not show commitment towards enhancing value of training. The process of training delivery is mediated by pre and post delivery factors which have an influence in constructing favorable or unfavorable training climate. This paper addresses the all important issue of training climate and the role played by various stakeholders in developing this. The theoretical model and assumptions are substantiated through case examples.
