2.5 Training and development
Training is an organization’s planned efforts to help employees acquire job-related knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors, with the goal of applying these on the job. Training can benefit the organization when it is linked to organizational needs and when it motivates employees. Employee Development is the combination of formal education, job experiences, relationships, and assessment of personality and abilities to help employees prepare for the future of their careers. Development is about preparing for change in the form of new jobs, new responsibilities, or new requirement.
