  • Trainning is the means for Development....But both are continuous process,contributory and complimentary to each other ...both these process follow each others from the very start of life....
    I look at both trainning & development from the broad spectrum applicable to all living organisms Development takes place  due to trainning......it is natural phenomena one has to undergo ,getting exposed,experienced,applied in the walks of ones's life.

  • While both training and development are essential for employee growth and organizational success, they serve distinct purposes. Here's a breakdown of the key differences: Training * Focus: Primarily skill-based and task-oriented. * Goal: To equip employees with the specific knowledge and abilities needed to perform their current roles effectively. * Scope: Often short-term and focused on immediate needs. * Methods: Lectures, workshops, simulations, and hands-on activities. * Examples: Software training, technical skills development, compliance training. Development * Focus: Holistic and career-oriented. * Goal: To enhance employees' overall potential and prepare them for future roles within the organization. * Scope: Long-term and broader in nature, encompassing personal and professional growth. * Methods: Mentoring, coaching, job rotations, and leadership development programs. * Examples: Executive coaching, leadership development, career planning. In essence: * Training is about equipping employees for today's roles. * Development is about preparing employees for tomorrow's roles. While they often overlap, understanding the distinction between training and development is crucial for effective talent management and organizational growth.

  • Training focuses on teaching employees the specific skills and knowledge they need to perform their current job effectively. It is short-term and task-oriented, aimed at improving job performance and productivity.

    Development, on the other hand, is a broader, long-term process aimed at overall employee growth and career advancement. It includes activities like leadership training, personal growth programs, and career planning, preparing employees for future roles and responsibilities within the organization.

  • Employee training and development is an indispensable part of human resource function and management. Both the activities aim at improving the performance and productivity of the employees. Training is a program organized by the organization to develop knowledge and skills in the employees as per the requirement of the job. Conversely, Development is an organized activity in which the manpower of the organization learn and grow; it is a self-assessment act.
    In training, the employees are imparted technical knowledge and skills related to the particular job and stresses on improving the abilities of each worker. In contrast, development is a sort of educational process which focuses on the growth and maturity of the managerial personnel.
