Abstract

One of the major challenges of some of Nigerian organisations has been the provision of required
training for their employees which will consequently reflect on the services they provide and
subsequently determine the success of the organisation in the competitive market. Second challenge is
the fact that organisations sometimes provide training for employees yet are confronted with the
problem of proper placing of trained employees into positions that are relevant to the skills they have
acquired. These may hinder the productivity and effectiveness of organisation. This study was
conducted in the Nigeria Spinners and Dyers, Kano. Using the systematic random sampling to select
employees while the study conducted both In-depth and Key informant Interviews for some selected
employees and some of the management staff, respectively. It found that training of employees is
imperative for better organisational productivity. Findings also revealed that it is pertinent to do a
proper placement for trained employees because it is one of the panaceas for the achievement of
organisational productivity. It was therefore recommended that every member of employee should be
given the opportunity to benefit from the opportunity of training and that the best methods that would
meet up with the contemporary competitive economy should be utilized for the training and
development of employees.
