Types of training and development

Training and development initiatives are educational activities within an organization that are designed
to improve the job performance of an individual or group. These programs typically involve advancing a
worker’s knowledge and skill sets and instilling greater motivation to enhance job performance.

Training programs can be created independently or with a learning administration system, with the goal
of employee long-term development. Common training practices include orientations, classroom
lectures, case studies, role playing, simulations and computer-based training, including e-learning.

Sometimes referred to as Human Resource Development (HRD), most employee training and
development efforts are driven by an organization’s HRD function. These efforts are roughly divided into
two types of programs:

Employee Training and Development

A strategic tool for improving business outcomes by implementing internal educational programs that
advance employee growth and retention.

Management Training and Development

The practice of growing employees into managers and managers into effective leaders by the ongoing
enhancement of certain knowledge, skills and abilities.

Why is training and development important?

Successful businesses understand that it’s more beneficial and cost-effective to develop their existing
employees instead of seeking out new talent.

Increased productivity: When employees stay current with new procedures and technologies, they can
increase their overall output.

Reduced micromanagement: If workers feel empowered to perform a task, they typically require less
oversight and work more independently.

Train future leaders: Organizations must have a solid pipeline of well-trained and innovative potential
leaders to grow and adapt over time.

Increased job satisfaction and retention: Well-trained employees gain confidence in their abilities,
leading to greater job satisfaction, a reduction in absenteeism and overall employee retention.
Attract highly skilled employees: Top recruits are attracted to firms with an identifiable career path
based on consistent training and development.

Increased consistency: Well-organized training ensures tasks are performed uniformly, resulting in tight
quality control that end users can trust.

Increased camaraderie: Training and development helps create a sense of teamwork and collaboration.

Bolstered safety: Continuous training and development helps ensure employees have the knowledge
and skills to perform a task safely.

Ability to cross-train: Providing consistent training creates a knowledgeable team overall where
employees can help train or assist each other as needed.

Added innovation: Consistently trained employees can help develop new strategies and products,
contributing to the company’s bottom line and continued success.
