Training and Development

It is important as a human resource professional that training and development is provided to the employees of the organization. It is important to keep the organization moving forward, and a major part of this process is to ensure that all employees are receiving training, and are developing within their careers. By doing this many long term positive effects can be achieved for the organization and its staff (Pynes, 2013).

One from of training that can be provided is the use of case studies. A case study is an event from the past that is broken down into parts, so that people can learn from it. The case study shows what went right to even things that were bad. Case Study are important in training, because the allow people to talk about an issue and learn from the past. A person could also learn to do something differently from a case study. They take real life events and make it a teachable moment (Pynes, 2013).

A great example, of a development method would be team building exercise. The development comes from a group of people learner to work as one, and getting to know each other. A group learns the strengths and weakness of the different members, and learn to work as one to get through different challenges. This type of development is extremely valuable for both the employee and the organization (Scudamore, 2016).
