ABSTRACT
This study was to
conduct a research work on the above topic, using Cadbury Nigeria Plc as my
primary source of information to collect relevant data. The area covered by the
researcher include among the historical background of the company and the
method adopted in training their personnel. Also there is a critical
review in development and training in the organization and the actual
performance within the organization. The prospect of training and development
in an organization as related to production will be appraised. The
caliber of personnel involved in the training and development programme will be
worked into there will be an evaluation of the training and development
programme. The importance of training and development
as motivational factor will be reviewed. I will review some textbook to
back my research work then aspects will include definitions and objectives of
training and development, again some research work experts will also be taking
into consideration; in order to know how effective is training and development
to the motivation of workers, for high productivity and efficiency.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Every Organization be it people or private has the primary aim of achieving the
organizational goals for which it was being set up.
These goals can only be achieved by the judicious acquisition and effective
utilization of its man power resources.
According to E.F.L. Brech (1976) Management in principle Pg. 10 Training and
Development this is an aspect of management practice wherein a good deal of
realistic and reliable knowledge is called for as well as the expertise to be
able to interpret and translate the disclosed needs into the ways and means of
improvement.
Generally guidance on this matter is not easy to offer and it could be unwise
if allowed to become the substitute for expert assistance.
This is also important that the programmes for development whether by training
(learning) or by others means, should allow for and encourage the self-help
efforts of gained from this factor improving competence. There is major benefit
to be gained too, from wise counseling by older and senior mangers. This is
particularly true when the improvements called for lie the direction of
personal attitude, of behaviour towards colleagues and subordinates or of
judgment and decision. Such counseling should not occur only at the periodic
appraisal reviews but, should rather be a feature of the everyday exercise of
the managerial roles.
According to Lawrence L. Bethel, Franklin S. at water, George H.E. Smith,
Harvey A. Stackman, Jr. and James L. Riggs, industrial Organization and
Management Fifth Edition Pg. 427 says larger companies have been giving
increasing attention to the training and development of management members
above the foremen level: department heads, staff assistants and officers. The
systematic inventory of executive potential which highlights the training need,
the essence of this is a self-evaluation of training and experiences a
soul-searching analysis present performance and a selection of specific items
to be improved. If a man can recognized his own weaknesses and find means to
strengthen them, this is one of the best forms of executive development.
Therefore, no
organization can progress, grow and excel without training and promoting its
working force for high productivity and efficiency. However in a growing
economy like Nigeria there is likely to be high rate of managerial turnover and
because of these, gap many arise in the managerial structure of the industry,
in filling these gaps, skilled people from different sectors are appraised and
will need to be trained and development in order to fit the specific needs of management.
Manpower is one of the vital resources of any organization and it plays a vital
role in development of the nation. Land capital and manpower and the basic
factors of production, it is pertinent to know that manpower is the most important
of all these factors, this is because when there is no manpower the other
factors can not operate.
In almost the 3rd world countries in which Nigeria belongs
to, the major hindrance to the successful implementation of
national development plan since our independence in 1960 is our inability to
develop highly rich resource of manpower; lack of development of our social
economic sphere often lead to disintegration of our indigenous industry growth.
Speight (1989) editor in the book title the science of price, wrote that income
is the product of human efforts acting upon or aided by other resource, it
follows that income could always be increased by the application of more human
effort to scarce resources. A country that cannot develop the skill and
knowledge of its human resource and utilized them effectively in the national
economy cannot develop anything else.
In addition, if a country fails to train develop and promote the necessary
class of people in a way that is expected of such country, it would not produce
positively rather such country will remain unproductive.
Basically, the success of any organization will depend on the effective use of
human resources available to that organization. At any point in time in the
life of the organization there should be the right number of employees with the
right level of skill doing the right job at the right time and performing the
right activities with the aim of achieving the right objective. In effect every
manager in an organization has a number of assets at his disposal he is
accustomed to view physical assert, like plants and machinery as an investment
on which he expects a reasonable return.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANIZATION
Cadbury Nigeria Plc, is one of the largest
manufacturers of confectioneries in Nigeria to day Cadbury Nigeria Plc, started
as an off short of Cadbury fry export limited, a British company primary
engaged in the purchase of cocoa from the west coast of Africa.

of January 1966 with the setting up of factory at Agidingbin village near Ikeja
and this was mainly due to the encouraging sales of pronto which, it
experienced during the year 1956 to 1966, from a staff strength of 268 workers,
it grew to a total of 2,000 workers of which, 200 are management and
supervisory staff and also has sales depot all over the federation.

include a small production unit which packed bulk supplied of pronto and
Bornvita from England.
In 1964 due to the rise in sales complete manufacturing schemes for production
was established and production of Bornvita started in 1965. During the years
1963 and 1964 a lot of research work was undertaken with the object of
introducing new products which has been specially developed for the Nigeria
market and as a result, two new products were introduced. Goody-Goody and
Tomapep and they were launched in 1966. In the past 35 years, Cadbury Nigeria
Plc has grown to be amongst one of the heading manufacturing industries in
Nigeria with over N2million fixed assets. Cadbury Nigeria Plc has
