The purpose of providing training is to make sure the new entry is aware about the culture and standard of the organization. There is no topic which cover in the training such as "what we expect from you". The employee is been hired based on his skills and qualifications, therefore one cannot train an employee to improve his/her attittude and behaviour, but can put something in trainiing to iprove his/her skillset.

It's difficult to change an employees

1.  outlook to life through the prism of their career. 

2. time management i.e. punctuality

3. personal habits i.e. religion and work ethics

 

The fact that these 3 are difficult to change does not however mean that they are unchangeable but it takes effort.
