Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 5
Abstract
Though organisations seem to go comfortably along with the dictum that human resources are the most important assets any organisation could have, few really mean what they say;which is reflective in the way they regard human capital.and organisations in Ghana as a country, is not an exception! Taking into account the significance of human capital in our knowledge-based society, this paper focusses on a review of literature and research work on employee training and development and emphasises the importance of such investments on organisational performance and particularly, for organisations in sub-Saharan Africa, like Ghana.
