Training and development are important for organizations to address rapid changes in technology and customer expectations. Training refers to increasing an employee's knowledge and skills for their current job, while development prepares them for future opportunities through building knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Some key differences are that training focuses on current job tasks, is temporary in nature, and aims for better performance in the current job, whereas development considers future job tasks, is permanent, and aims for better performance in future roles. Organizations benefit from training and development through improved quality, customer satisfaction, performance, and motivation. A training program typically involves setting a policy, needs analysis, design, delivery, and evaluation.
