Differentiate between training and development. Provide two examples of each.
What will be an ideal response?
Training and development help to ensure that organization members have the knowledge and skills needed to perform jobs effectively, take on new responsibilities, and adapt to changing conditions. Training focuses primarily on teaching organization members how to perform their current jobs and helping them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be effective performers. Development focuses on building the knowledge and skills of organization members so they are prepared to take on new responsibilities and challenges. Training tends to be used more frequently at lower levels of an organization; development tends to be used more frequently with professionals and managers. Students' examples will vary but must include the techniques covered in the chapter.
