Training and development are important for organizational growth. Training imparts skills for current or future jobs through learning programs, while development helps employees grow personally and professionally. The goals of training are to onboard new employees, improve performance in current roles, and prepare for more advanced roles. An effective training program assesses needs, designs objectives, implements training, evaluates impact, and ensures continuous improvement through a closed-loop system. This benefits employees through career growth and the organization through higher productivity, quality and efficiency.
