Companies that use innovative training and development practices are likely to report better financial performance than their competitors that do not. Providing effective training and development also helps companies develop the human capital needed to meet competitive challenges. Many companies now recognise that learning through training, development, and knowledge management helps employees strengthen or increase their skills directly impacting their job performance, satisfaction, and career advancement.

The 8th edition of Employee Training & Development addresses the changes in training and development from both an employer and employee perspective. Content is based on the author’s extensive experience in teaching training and development courses, to both graduate and undergraduate students, Employee Training and Development retains the lively writing style, inspiring examples, and emphasis on new technology and strategic training from previous editions.
