Training is one of the essential operative functions of human resource management. It is a planned and systematic procedure by which non-managerial personnel acquire technical knowledge and skills to perform their present jobs effectively and efficiently. Training is a specialized function and an important sub-system of human resource development. It is a short-term skill development exercise to overcome the gaps between employees and their working environment. Training may be in the form of learning from seniors, co-operation from peers, and respect and obedience from subordinates. Training bridges the differences between job pre-requisites and an employee’s current job specification. This book is an appropriate contribution in the specialized domain of training and development. It is catalogued into 12 chapters which provide comprehensive insights into almost every aspect of training and development. In addition to text-narrative, the book includes short answer type questions, long answer type questions and multiple choice questions (MCQs) at the end of each chapter.
