WHAT IS TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT?

"All of the planned learning experiences provided to individual employees to bring about changes in on-the-job behavior and performance that will improve the attainment of the goals and objectives of the organization and at the same time develop the potential, enhance the career advancement, and improve the job satisfaction of individual employees" (Tracey, William R. The Human Resources Glossary: The Complete Desk Reference for HR Executives, Managers and Practitioners(2nd Ed), p. 522).
