What is Training and Development?
The
words training and development are mostly used together in the corporate world
and are seen as activities focused on improving the knowledge, performance and productivity
of the employees. However, there is a distinct difference between their
meanings and implications, which are often overlooked by a majority of
professionals. Human
Resource Management (HRM) practices of training and development enhance
employee skills, knowledge and ability which in turn enhance task
performance of individual and in the
long run increases the Organizational productivity (Huselid, 1995 cited in
Ongori & Nzonzo, 2011)

Methods of
Training and Development:-
There are several T&D methods available. The use of a particular
method depends which method accomplishes the training needs
and objectives. Training methods can be classified into two categories (Chandrasekhar,
2011)
I.
On-the-Job Methods
This refers to the methods of training in which a person
learns a job by actually doing/performing it. A person works on a job and learns and develops expertise at
the same time.
II. Off-the-Job Methods
These methods require trainees to leave their workplace and
concentrate their entire time towards the training objectives. These days’
off-the-job training methods have become popular due to limitations of the
on-the-job training methods.

ReplyDeleteemployee training programs help employees improve themselves, they ought to always have a connection to the requirements of the corporate. Businesses must find ways to remain at the forefront of their industry as new trends and technologies become relevant. Meanwhile, a growing dependence on teamwork to deliver a competitive advantage requires workers to develop social and collaboration skills. Without a training plan in organization, businesses will quickly become obsolete and irrelevant as agile competitors take their place.
