Training and development play a significant role in improving employee performance, productivity, and organizational effectiveness in the garments industry. The rapidly changing industrial environment and technological advancements require employees to continuously enhance their technical and operational skills. The garments sector, being one of the major contributors to employment and economic growth in India, depends heavily on skilled manpower for achieving productivity, quality improvement, and sustainable growth. This study focuses on analyzing the impact of training and development practices on employee performance in the garments industry. The research examines employee perceptions regarding training effectiveness, skill improvement, productivity enhancement, safety awareness, and organizational development.
