EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES ON ENHANCING EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY: EVIDENCE FROM ACCEL LIMITED, CHENNAI
This study investigates the effectiveness of training and development (T&D) practices in enhancing employee productivity at ACCEL Limited, an IT services company headquartered in Chennai, India. Using a descriptive research design and structured questionnaire administered to 100 employees selected through simple random sampling, the study examines employee perceptions of training quality, relevance, infrastructure, and impact on performance. Statistical tools including percentage analysis, chi-square tests, and Pearson correlation were employed to analyse the data. The findings reveal that a majority of employees hold positive perceptions towards the training programs offered by the organisation. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.982) was found between training programs that develop interpersonal and leadership skills and post-training performance improvement. The chi-square analysis confirmed no significant relationship between employee age and perceived training effectiveness, suggesting uniform benefit across age groups. Key recommendations include strengthening career planning integration, adopting interactive learning methods, investing in digital training infrastructure, and establishing continuous evaluation systems for training outcomes. The study concludes that well-structured T&D practices significantly contribute to employee productivity, job satisfaction, and long-term organisational growth.
