During Module 7, we explored information about training and development, which are often grouped together as the same function, but are actually two unique functions.
For this Discussion, please address one of the questions below.
1. Explain if you believe that training efforts and development offerings in your organization are effective. Then, propose two training or development enhancements that you would make.
2. Why do you think organizations tend to emphasize training over development? How might a focus on training (as opposed to development) impact individual, team, and organizational success?
3. How can HR professionals conduct an effective needs analysis that identifies individual, team, and organizational needs?
4. During times of financial strain, what are the potential risks and consequences of cutting T&D budgets?
5. How can organizations effectively balance the diverse training preferences of multiple generations?
6. What techniques can HR professionals propose and implement to create a learning organization/learning culture?
