Training & Development Practices

More about the book

Training is a process to change employee s behavior at work through the application of learning principles. This behavioral change usually has a focus on knowledge or information, skills or activities and attitudes or belief and value system. Development, under the traditional vision, falls in the middle between training and education. Development can cover the present role or some grooming for future greatness. A cynical view is that we develop managers but trained workers this may be indicative of the lack of latitude, hence the lack of real development potential, in most non-professional and non-managerial jobs.
