The 21st century presents ample evidence that hint towards extraordinary changes that have occurred in the environment which has added a novel impetus to businesses and warrants the need to integrate training and development within the overall strategy of the organization with a view to make sure that the business thrives in the competitive market and at the same time facilitates growth. This facet implies that there is a need for employees to be regularly trained with a view to enhance their skills considering the fact that changes are occurring throughout the workforce each and every day (Pearce, 2000). Akin to any other organization, organizations from the auto-ancillary sector too has a vision and a decree of where they ultimately intend to be. Simply said, auto-ancillary industries need to continuously evaluated their existing position and understand the kind of changes that are required to help them reach where they expect to eventually reach. The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) indicated that organizations within the United States have been known to spend around $156 billion per year on an average to facilitate the training and development of their employees (Miller, 2017). While the significance of training and development is well known, there are certain factors that influence training and development within an organization. Thus, factors that influence training and development within the auto-ancillary industries would be the focus of this paper. An attempt is made in this paper to discuss about the factors influencing the training and development especially related with Human Resources.
