NATURE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilitiesand
knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training & development is… it is anyattempt
to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’sability to
perform through learning, usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasinghis or her
skills and knowledge. The need for training & development is determined by theemployee’s
performance deficiency, computed as follows:
Training & Development need = Standard performance – Actual performance.
We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinctionenables
us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as wasstated earlier,
refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand, isconfined to
theoretical learning in classrooms.

Training refers to the process of imparting specific skills.
Development refers to the learning opportunities
designed to help employees grow.
Education is theoretical learning in classroom.
Though training and education differ in nature and orientation, they are complementary.
Anemployee, for example, who undergoes training is presumed to have had some
formaleducation. Furthermore, no training programme is complete without an element of
education.In fact, the distinction between training and education is getting increasingly
blurrednowadays. As more and more employees are called upon to exercise judgments and to
choosealternative solutions to the job problems, training programmes seek to broaden and
developthe individual through education. For instance, employees in well-paid jobs and/or
employeesin the service industry may be required to make independent decision regarding there
workand their relationship with clients. Hence, organization must consider elements of
botheducation and training while planning there training programmes.
Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees
grow.Development is not primarily skill-oriented. Instead, it provides general knowledge
andattitudes which will be helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towards
developmentoften depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those
suppliedby management developmental programmes, are generally voluntary.
