Training focuses on improving employees' knowledge and skills for their current job roles, using both on-the-job and off-the-job methods. Development has a longer-term focus on enhancing employees' overall skills and career progression through activities like workshops and self-assessments. While training aims to meet immediate job needs, development helps prepare employees for future roles and responsibilities. Both training and development are important for organizations as they improve employee performance, productivity and utilization of human resources.

5. How is Training Different from
Development?
• Training programs are organized by
the organization to develop
employees' knowledge and skills as
per their job requirements.
• On the other side, development is
not directly related to job
requirement, rather it aims at the
generic development of the
individual employees for the long
run. Think of this way- training is
mostly provided to teach new skills
while development focuses on
improving existing skills.
