Training and development initiatives are educational activities within an organization thatare
designed to improve the job performance of an individual or group. These programs typically
involve advancing a worker’s knowledge and skill sets and instilling greater motivation to enhance
job performance.
The practice of growing employees into managers and managers into effective leaders bythe
ongoing enhancement of certain knowledge, skills and abilities.
WHY IS TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT IMPORTANT
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
When employees stay current with new procedures and technologies, they can
increase
their overall output.
REDUCED MICROMANAGEMENT
If workers feel empowered to perform a task, they typically require less oversight and
work more independently.
BENEFITS OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
INCREASED CONSISTENCY
Well-organized training ensures tasks are performed uniformly, resulting in tight
qualitycontrol that end users can trust.
INCREASED CAMARADERIE
Training and development helps create a sense of teamwork and collaboration.
BOLSTERED SAFTY
Continuous training and development helps ensure employees have the
knowledge andskills to perform a task safely.
ABILITY TO CROSS-TRAIN
Providing consistent training creates a knowledgeable team overall where employees
can
Help train or assist each other as needed.
ADDED INNOVATION
Consistently trained employees can help develop new strategies and products,
contributing to the company’s bottom line and continued success.
CURRENT TRENDS IN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
The corporate marketplace is quickly changing, and businesses must be flexible and easily adapt
to change. Technology is one of the key drivers in this rapid change, with automationand artificial
intelligence (AI) in the forefront.
AI TRAINING
AI systems can process unstructured information in a similar way to humans. These
systems understand language patterns and sensory inputs including text, pictures and
auditory cues.
AI-based software can customize how training content is delivered to a learner, based ontheir
learning style, suggest content based on a learner’s past performance and predict what
information is most important for them to learn next.
AGILE LEARNING
Agile learning is a process that encourages employees to learn by doing and iterate
often, inspiring organizational change and buy-in. For example, IBM has introduced
IBM Garage, atool for executing, scaling and managing an organization’s multiple
transformation initiatives. Companies like Ford Motor Company and Travel port are
using IBM Garages around the world to create cultures of open collaboration and
continuous learning.
While distance learning has been around for a long time, the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the
need for companies to have resilient, flexible, mobile workforce management. Organizations have learned
that remote workforces need to be productive,engaged, and continually working towards learning and
improvement.

Human resource development includes training a person after he or she is first hired,
providing opportunities to learn new skills, distributing resources that are beneficial for
the employee's tasks, and any other developmental activities.
INTRODUCTION
Development of human resources is essential for any organisation that would like to be
dynamic and growth-oriented. Unlike other resources, human resources have rather
unlimited potential capabilities. The potential can be used only by creating a climate that
can continuously identify, bring to surface, nurture and use the capabilities of people.
Human Resrouce Development (HRD) system aims at creating such a climate. A number
of HRD techniques have been developed in recent years to perform the above task based
on certain principles. This unit provides an understanding of the concept of HRD system,
related mechanisms and the changing boundaries of HRD.
HRD concept was first introduced by Leonard Nadler in 1969 in a conference in US. “He
defined HRD as those learning experience which are organized, for a specific time, and
designed to bring about the possibility of behavioral change”.
Human Resource Development (HRD) is the framework for helping employees develop
their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. Human Resource
Development includes such opportunities as employee training, employee career
development, performance management and development, coaching, mentoring,
succession planning, key employee identification, tuition assistance, and organization
development.
The focus of all aspects of Human Resource Development is on developing the most
superior workforce so that the organization and individual employees can accomplish their
work goals in service to customers.
HRD (Human Resources Development) has been defined by various scholars in various
ways. Some of the important definitions of HRD (Human Resources Development) are as
follows:
In the words of Prof. T.V. Rao, "HRD is a process by which the employees of an
organisation are helped in a continuous and planned way to (i) acquire or sharpen
capabilities required to perform various functions associated with their present or
expected future roles; (ii) develop their journal capabilities as individual and discover and
exploit their own inner potential for their own and /or organisational development
purposes; (iii) develop an organisational culture in which superior-subordinate
relationship, team work and collaboration among sub-units are strong and contribute to
the professional well being, motivation and pride of employees." .
This definition of HRD is limited to the organisational context. In the context of a state or
nation it would differ.
HRD is a process, not merely a set of mechanisms and techniques. The mechanisms and
techniques such as performance appraisal, counselling, training, and organization
development interventions are used to initiate, facilitate, and promote this process in a
continuous way. Because the process has no limit, the mechanisms may need to be
examined periodically to see whether they are promoting or hindering the process.
Organisations can facilitate this process of development by planning for it, by allocating
organisational resources for the purpose, and by exemplifying an HRD philosophy that
values human beings and promotes their development.
OBJECTIVES OF HRD
i. To prepare the employee to meet the present and changing future job requirements.
vi. To develop the potentialities of people for the next level job.
ix. To broaden the minds of senior managers by providing them with opportunities for
aninterchange of experiences within and outside.
xiii. To create a climate that enables every employee to discover, develop and use
his/hercapabilities to a fuller extent in order to further both individual and organisational goals.
Difference between HRD and HRM
Both are very important concepts of management specifically related with human
resources of organisation. Human resource management and human resource
development can be differentiated on the following grounds:
Human resource management mainly aims to improve the efficiency of the employees
whereas aims at the development of the employees as well as organisation as a whole.
HRM motivates the employees by giving them monetary incentives or rewards whereas
human resource development stresses on motivating people by satisfying higher-order
needs.
THE NEED FOR HRD
HRD is needed by any organisation that wants to be dynamic and growth-oriented or to succeed in
a fast-changing environment. Organisations can become dynamic and grow only through the efforts
and competencies of their human resources. Personnel policies can keep the morale and motivation
of employees high, but these efforts are not enough to make the organisation dynamic and take it
in new directions. Employee capabilities must continuously be acquired, sharpened, and used. For
this purpose, an “enabling” organisational culture is essential. When employees use their initiative,
take risks, experiment, innovate, and make things happen, the organisation may be said to have an
“enabling” culture.
Even an organisation that has reached its limit of growth, needs to adapt to the changing
environment. No organisation is immune to the need for processes that help to acquire and increase
its capabilities for stability and renewal.
HRD FUNCTIONS
The core of the concept of HRS is that of development of human beings, or HRD. The concept of
development should cover not only the individual but also other units in the organisation. In addition
to developing the individual, attention needs to be given to the development of stronger dyads, i.e.,
two-person groups of the employee and his boss. Such dyads are the basic units of working in the
organisation. Besides several groups like committees, task groups, etc. also require attention.
Development of such groups should be from the point of view of increasing collaboration amongst
people working in the organisation, thus making for an effective decision- making. Finally, the entire
department and the entire organisation also should be covered by development. Their development
would involve developing a climate conducive for their effectiveness, developing self-renewing
mechanisms in the organisations so that they are able to adjust and pro-act, and developing
relevant processes which contribute to their effectiveness.
It stresses on development of human resources of the organisation. It helps the employees of the
organisation to develop their general capabilities in relation to their present jobsand expected
future role.
It emphasise on the development and best utilization of the capabilities of individuals in the interest
of the employees and organisation.
It tries to develop competencies at the organisation level. It stresses on providing healthy climate for
development in the organisation.
HRD is a system. It has several sub-systems. All these sub-systems are inter-related and interwoven.
It stresses on collaboration among all the sub-systems.
It tries to develop competence at individual, inter-personal, group and organisational level to meet
organisational goal.
It form on employee welfare and quality of work life. It tries to examine/identify employee needs
and meeting them to the best possible extent.
It is a continuous and systematic learning process. Development is a life long process, which never
ends.
HRD (Human Resource Development) makes people more competent. HRD develops new skill,
knowledge and attitude of the people in the concern organisations.
With appropriate HRD programme, people become more committed to their jobs. People are
assessed on the basis of their performance by having a acceptable performanceappraisal system.
An environment of trust and respect can be created with the help of human resource development.
Acceptability toward change can be created with the help of HRD. Employees found themselves
better equipped with problem-solving capabilities.
It improves the all round growth of the employees. HRD also improves team spirit in the organisation.
They become more open in their behaviour. Thus, new values can begenerated.
It also helps to create the efficiency culture In the organisation. It leads to greaterorganisational
effectiveness. Resources are properly utilised and goals are achieved in a better way.
It improves the participation of worker in the organisation. This improve the role of worker and
workers feel a sense of pride and achievement while performing their jobs.
It also helps to collect useful and objective data on employees programmes and policies which further
facilitate better human resource planning.
Hence, it can be concluded that HRD provides a lot of benefits in every organisation. So, the
importance of concept of HRD should be recognised and given a place of eminence,to face the
present and future challenges in the organisation.
