In recent years,

retraining of employees is capable of making them to face the challenges and
competition in the banking industry.

are trained, it will promote sales and increase the level of competition among
various banks.
Manpower development are
the most valuable assets of any organization as well as the most difficult to
manage.
According to Crosse and
Hempel (1978) manpower development is the number of workmen (skilled and
unskilled) needed for a certain type of work in a given industry. They form the
engine working toward the aims and objectives of the organization.
However, for effective
management of this manpower, training and retraining is required to meet daily
challenges of the work ability that is facing it personnel policies should be
directed toward well defined objective and guided by clearly understood
principles. The impact of trained manpower and the untrained manpower in the
banking industry is what this project seeks to address.
Emphasis shall be on one
leading banks in Nigeria, with particular reference to First Bank of Nigeria
Plc.
1.8 STATEMENT OF
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
For every organization,
there are basically three resources available to it for achieving
organizational goals and objectives. The resources are; human resources,
material resources, and financial resources, while others classified it as five
M: Man, money, material, maintenance and machine. There is a general consensus
that among these resources men are the most important to any organization
because without them all other resources cannot be fully and optimally
exploited. Since the resources available to an organization are relatively
scarce, wastage of resources have to be avoided as much as possible. In other
words, an organization has to be efficient and effective in its use of
resources.
In order to ensure
efficiency and effectiveness, those involved in putting the resources to use
(human resource) must be trained and developed and it is more imperative for
them to be retrained in this era of globalization where yesterday’s practices
are losing their vogue and appeal. Some banks operating in the country having
realized the important of training have training school for their staff some
send them on refresher training courses. New methods of training are
continually being sought to speed up and deepen skill development and
understanding, clearly, there are costs and benefits associated with training
and manpower development, it is therefore important to assess the cost
benefits.These moves can be justified in terms of improved performance of
employees, improvement in corporate image of the companies, increased
productivity of the companies so that it can be recommended to organizations
that have net yet embraced the culture of training. It is with this intent that
