Many organizations use the term learning rather than training to emphasize the point that the activities engaged in as part of this developmental process are broad based and involve much more than straightforward acquisition of manual or technical skills. Learning implies ongoing development and continuously adding to employees ‘skills and knowledge to meet the challenges the organization faces ...

3. If an organization considers its employees to be human assets,
training and development represents an ongoing investment in
these assets and one of the most significant investments an
organization can make. Training involves employees acquiring
knowledge and learning skills that they will be able to use
immediately; employee development involves learning that will
aid the organization and employee later in the employee’s
career. Many organizations use the term learning rather than
training to emphasize the point that the activities engaged in as
part of this developmental process are broad based and involve
much more than straightforward acquisition of manual or
technical skills. Learning implies ongoing development and
continuously adding to employees ‘skills and knowledge to meet
the challenges the organization faces from its external
environment. A focus on learning, as opposed to training,
emphasizes results rather than process, making such an
approach more palatable to senior executives. Any kind of
employee learning that is not reinforced by the organization’s
reward system has little chance of impacting employee behavior
and performance.
