considerations for all organization regardless of size, sector, market or
profile. The development of the capacity and capability of the
organizations managers has a fundamental impact on efficiency,
effectiveness, morale and profitability of an organization. High
performing organizations increasingly pay close attention to the validity
of their recruitment practices and are becoming equally vigilant about
developing their employees in order to ensure they achieve optimum
performance both in the present and the future. This is confirmed by
