Abstract
Training and development play a vital role in improving employee
skills, knowledge, and overall organizational performance, especially in the
rapidly evolving Information Technology (IT) sector. Due to continuous
technological advancements, IT professionals must regularly update their
technical and soft skills to remain competitive in the industry. This study
examines the training and development practices followed in IT companies
located in Palakkad district. The main objective of the study is to analyze the
effectiveness of training programs and their impact on employee performance and
satisfaction. Data was collected from 100 IT employees using a structured
questionnaire. The findings indicate that most organizations provide regular
training programs and employees believe that such initiatives improve their
productivity, problem-solving abilities, and career growth. However,
respondents also emphasized the need for more practical exposure and support
for advanced certification programs. Overall, the training and development
practices followed in IT organizations in Palakkad district are satisfactory
but require continuous improvement to meet the changing demands of the
industry.
