Purpose: The study sought to analyze the influence of skills impartation on effectiveness of employee working from home.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive's time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The study found out that the switch to working from home may have a negative impact on worker's mental health if they are unable to find a routine that works for them, if they do not have the right training, are struggling to separate work and home life or are feeling isolated. Managers need to train, encourage employees to develop a working routine, set up a dedicated work space and set boundaries for other household members. The study concludes that training needs assessment affects the performance of employees to a large extent as demonstrated by all the factors of training needs assessment to a large extent affects employee performance. This is because training is appropriate when an organization is expected to gain more benefit from the training than it invested in its cost.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study would be useful to academicians and researchers wishing to carry out find research as to contribute to existing literature in the field of training therefore add knowledge and stimulate further research in other aspect of training. Potential investors would also benefit, as it would be 14 a source of ready information for making a sound decision. The study would also provide in depth knowledge of training as one of the elements affecting employee performance.
