The Impact of Effective Training on Organizational Performance in Dubai’s Public Sector

Abstract

The challenges governments face today are both internal and external; globalization, new technology, employee retention, and departmental growth are some of the issues affecting the human resource departments and training practices in government organizations. Government organizations are experiencing significant changes due to new technology, rapid development of knowledge, globalization of business, and the development of e-commerce. Training has become one of the most natural and reliable response that meets most of the above challenges. Proper identification of training needs is also of paramount importance to ensure that public sector organizations are performing at their highest capacity. This policy brief demonstrates how effective training programs can positively affect organizational performance. It is based on a comprehensive study that assesses the effectiveness of training programs in Dubai’s public sector and its impact on its overall performance. The study ultimately finds that Dubai’s government has succeeded in achieving effective training results which have positive impact on its output and effectiveness.
