CONCLUSION
Overall training at Abbott laboratories on the basis of what we have noticed is very impressive specially the variety of training programs and training methods they have been conducting. There are a couple of aspects, which are needed to be covered, but keeping in view their massive setup one cannot deny the performance of their employees and the organization it self. This organization is not only taking big steps in the training and development process but also focusing on other HR practices as well which obviously encourages the employees to work with more zeal and zest in order to make a name for themselves and also to pay back the organization from what they have learnt and gained here. The credit surely goes to Abbott laboratories because they not only hire experienced campaigners but also young graduates who are raw in their particular fields and polish their skills to the extent that they have made this organization almost invincible specially in Pakistan where we hardly see any competitors of Abbott laboratories because of the enormous market share and growth it has been gaining for so many
