Human Resource Development

Effective individual learning is critical if employees are to acquire the knowledge and skill needed to support the organisation's business objectives and delivery targets. The delivery of effective people development practices requires a considerable increase in commitment and enhanced skills from all managers. A shift is taking place from training (an instructor-led, content-based intervention) to learning (a self-directed, work-based process), leading to increased adaptive capacity. For these reasons, and many others, the well-rounded manager in the successful organisation usually numbers among their priorities the development of people, or human resource development.
