Training and development programs are necessary for organizations to improve employee performance as technologies and environments change. Training involves teaching technical skills to non-managers over a short period for a specific job, while development provides conceptual knowledge to managers long-term. Organizations need training to onboard new employees, introduce new techniques, and move employees between roles. Benefits include improved quality, efficiency, and reduced costs. Training needs are identified through analyzing jobs and employee skills. Objectives are to prepare, develop, and build competent employees. Programs should be evaluated against objectives to ensure the investment is worthwhile.
