This document discusses training and development in organizations. It defines training as a learning process focused on teaching new employees skills for their current jobs, while development focuses on long-term personal growth. Some key benefits of training mentioned include improved job knowledge and skills, better alignment with organizational goals, and stronger boss-employee relationships. Common training methods include on-the-job techniques like job rotation and coaching as well as off-the-job methods such as vestibule training and role playing. The purpose of training is to increase productivity, quality and retention while promoting adaptability. Development differs from training in its emphasis on future rather than current jobs and its longer-term, ongoing nature oriented toward skills rather than tasks.
