Abstract:

Training and development of employees has become a core function for most organizations worldwide

and has gained center-stage in recent years. The training and development of public sector employees is

vital to any country as it affects its bureaucracy and policymaking. Using a case study approach, this

study investigates the state of the training function and its effectiveness in eleven Omani government

organizations as they aim to build and develop a competent workforce with the localization of the

workforce. The study finds that there is a strong need to draw up an integrated HRD and training

framework which would be capable of building a training & development architecture in Omani

government organizations and fostering flexibility, creativity, team learning and collaboration among

their employees at the workplace.
