TRAINING DEFINED
It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviours to enhance the performance of employees.
Training is activity leading to skilled behavior.
• It’s not what you want in life, but it’s knowing how to reach it
• It’s not where you want to go, but it’s knowing how to get there
• It’s not how high you want to rise, but it’s knowing how to take off
It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an outcome
• It’s not what you dream of doing, but it’s having the knowledge to do it
• It's not a set of goals, but it’s more like a vision
• It’s not the goal you set, but it’s what you need to achieve it
Training is about knowing where you stand (no matter how good or bad the current situation looks) at present, and where you will be after some point of time.
Training is about the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) through professional development.

One of the features of an effective expatriate performance management is measurability, that is objectivity versus subjectivity. Objective measures include hard criteria as sales, units produced, error rate, personnel data, absence rate, turnover and tardiness. In contrast, subjective measures focus on performance measures and their goal is to accurately assess performance. Successful expatriate PMS strikes a balance between these two elements and ensures both objectivity and subjectivity, at the credibility of results and stability of the system itself. Opportunity-biases occur and the performance is modified by the current organisational situation (Gautam, n.d.). In addition, the organisations must take into account the downstream consequences of selected performance measure, the upstream consistency and the compatibility of measures to skills, capabilities and organisational culture
