Training and development is a function of human resource management concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in organizational settings. In an ever changing and fast paced corporate world, training and development is an indispensable function. Training and development is one of the lowest things on the priority list of most companies. When it's organized, it is often at the persistence of the human resources department. There is, however, enormous value in organizing proper training and development sessions for employees. Training allows employees to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, perform better, increase productivity and be better leaders. Since a company is the sum total of what employees achieve individually, organizations should do everything in their power to ensure that employees perform at their peak. In a rapidly evolving landscape, productivity is not only dependent on employees, but also on the technology they use. Training and development goes a long way in getting employees up to date with new technology, use existing ones better and then discard the outdated ones. This goes a long way in getting things done efficiently and in the most productive way. Employees who have attended the right trainings need lesser supervision and guidance. Training develops necessary skill sets in employees and enable them to address tasks independently. This also allows supervisors and management to focus on more pressing areas.
