In addition, the present study has shown that investments in learning and development are not merely a cost, but that positive perceptions of employees about HRD and a positive evaluation of HR managers about HRD are related to employee performance. This shows that HRD, if implemented correctly can increase the performance of employees. Further, the employees' performance can be increased when HRD is organized in a good way so that HR managers rate their HRD processes very positively. HRD processes can ensure that an organizational climate should be established in which employees are asked for feedback about HRD in order to enhance it. HRD should be dealt with at the top management level in order to ensure that the organization facilitates and supports learning and development. The employees' view may not be left out, so that a feedback loop from employees to the top management and back is possible (Crossan et al.,1999).
