Abstract

A very important reason(s) for building the capacity of workers in any organization either in public or private sector is to enable them acquire knowledge, skills and technical know-how needed to improve upon their performances. In Bayelsa State South South Nigeria, issues of workers capacity building are very eminent and the question that comes to mind is; are workers expose to different forms of training to equip them with practices on global trends in labour management relations?  This study examined the challenges of building workers capacity in the civil service and recommended the institutionalization of regular training and re-training of workers for effective service delivery. This is an important step to boost workers morale for increase productivity and to update their competencies required to translate government policies and programmes into action for industrial peace and harmony in the State.
