Abstract
This research examines the interrelationships between employee engagement, retention and strategically designed training and development (T&D) programmes, examining their collective impact on organisational growth and success. A selective review of extant
literature, coupled with a secondary qualitative methodological approach, was employed to develop a holistic understanding of these interconnected constructs. The findings underscore the critical role of effectively designed and implemented T&D programmes in driving
organisational growth. The analysis of innovative approaches adopted by various organisations reveals that such programmes generate
a range of positive outcomes, including enhanced employee performance, increased productivity and improved revenue generation.
Moreover, these strategic initiatives contribute to an enhanced organisational reputation and a more favourable public image.
