Training plays an important role in developing employees' skills and knowledge. There are differences between training, which focuses on current job skills, and management development, which prepares employees for future roles. Effective training requires identifying needs, designing programs with clear objectives, and using various methods like on-the-job and off-the-job approaches. Organizations benefit from improved performance, while training also develops employees' abilities and job satisfaction. Regular needs assessments and program evaluations ensure training continuously meets organizational and individual goals.
