Statement (1): Companies that invest in comprehensive employee training programs often observe improved job performance among their workforce.This statement suggests a correlation between investment in training and improved job performance. Improved job performance can lead to higher productivity, better quality of work, and potentially increased profits, which benefits the company overall. However, it does not address that explicitly.
Statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2): Well-trained employees are likely to excel in their roles and take the company forward.
This statement suggests that well-trained employees are likely (but not guaranteed) to excel and contribute positively to the company's progress. The use of "likely" implies a strong probability but not certainty.
Statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Combining Statements (1) and (2):
- Statement (1) indicates improved job performance with training investment.
- Statement (2) suggests that this improvement is likely to result in employees excelling and advancing the company.
Together, these statements build a stronger case that investing in employee training leads to improved performance, which is likely to drive the company forward. However, they still do not provide a clear or certain answer about the overall benefits to the company.
=> Even combined, still insufficient
Answer is E

The question asks us whether there is an "overall benefit" to the company.
The two statements give two benefits but do not comment on whether overall there is benefit. What if trained employees leave the company very soon because they find higher paying work outside. Then overall, the company may not benefit. We don't know.
Hence answer here is (E).
=> no overall benefit to company
