(A) Improved skills and knowledge due to training lead to a better career for the individual.

(B) Increased performance by the individual helps him to earn more.

(C) Training increases the satisfaction and morale of employees.

(D) Training reduces absenteeism and employee turnover.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

As per NCERT (Staffing – Training and Development), training and development activities primarily benefit employees by improving their competence and overall growth. Training enhances the skills and knowledge of employees, which helps them build a better career and increases their chances of promotion, so statement (A) is correct.

It also leads to better performance, enabling employees to become more productive and earn higher rewards or incentives, making (B) correct. Further, training boosts employees’ confidence, job satisfaction and morale, which supports (C). However, reduction in absenteeism and employee turnover is generally considered a benefit to the organisation rather than a direct benefit to employees, so (D) is not included. Therefore, the correct answer is (A), (B) and (C) only.
