Human resources are an important element of any business with employees and it is a job that requires continuous training, commitment and integrity. Most organizations have a centralized training area which is the human resources department (HRD). The role of the human resources department is to improve the effectiveness of the organization by providing employees with the knowledge, skills and abilities that will improve their current or future job performance. An effective training process is aimed at achieving the organization's productivity objectives. According to Blanchard and Thacker (1999), there are five important stages in the organizational training process: analyzing training needs, designing the training program, developing the training program, implementing the training program, and evaluating the training program (refer a Figure 1 in Appendix 1). The first step in the training process in the organization is to analyze the training needs. Training needs analysis is a systematic method of determining what needs to be done to improve employee performance in a particular job to the expected level. These training needs depend on the environment, the organization's performance, and how many people need to be trained immediately or in the future. Blanchard and Thacker had said that sometimes employees do not meet job performance requirements. First, the environment can influence how organizational managers design work, supervise employees, and make decisions (Schneider, 1976). This is to ensure that customer needs are met and to achieve the organization's adaptation goal. However, the human resources department identifies what the employee needs.
