    Training and development

    Training and development involves improving the effectiveness of organizations and the
    individuals and teams within them. Training may be viewed as related to immediate
    changes in organizational effectiveness via organized instruction, while development
    is related to the progress of longer-term organizational and employee goals.
    While training and development technically have differing definitions, the two are
    oftentimes used interchangeably and/or together. Training and development has
    historically been a topic within applied psychology but has within the last two
    decades become closely associated with human resources management, talent
    management, human resources development, instructional design, human factors,
    and knowledge management

    Benefits

    Training has been used in organizations for the past several decades. Although training and
    development requires investments of many types, there are cited benefits to integrating
    training and development into organizations:

     Increased productivity and job performance


     Skills development
     Team development
     Decreasing safety-related accidents
    However, if the training and development is not strategic and pointed at specific goals, it can
    lead to more harm than good. Needs assessments, especially when the training is being
    conducted on a large-scale, are frequently conducted in order to gauge what needs to be
    trained, how it should be trained, and how extensively. Needs assessments in the training and
    development context often reveal employee and management-specific skills to develop (e.g.
    for new employees), organizational-wide problems to address (e.g. performance issues),
    adaptations needed to suit changing environments (e.g. new technology), or employee
    development needs (e.g. career planning). The degree of effectiveness of training and
    development programs can be predicted by the needs assessment and how closely the needs
    were met, the execution of the training (i.e. how effective the trainer was), and trainee
    characteristics (e.g. motivation, cognitive abilities).Effectiveness of training is typically done
    on an individual or team-level, with few studies investigating the impacts on organizations
