Human Resource Development (HRD) is the process of providing training and learning, for both career and organisational development, to improve overall effectiveness (Noe and Winkler, 2012). Business today is achieved in a highly networked world, where employees are a vital asset (Balakrishnan & Srividhya, 2007). HRD is concerned with the development of human capital for the benefit of both the employees and the organisation (Balakrishnan & Srividhya, 2007). It is inevitable that different levels or stakeholders within an organisation will hold differing perceptions on HRD due to the ever-changing nature and the multi-level outcomes (Garavan et. al, 2007). There are three broad groups of stakeholders of HRD in an organisation, these are: employees, line managers and the organisation or senior management. Human resource development can provide a number of benefits to each of these levels if implemented effectively. The benefits of HRD are best achieved within a learning culture (O’Donnel, McGuire & Cross, 2006). In order to create a learning culture all three groups identified must have positive perceptions of human resource development. HRD must be seen to be providing benefits to each three of these groups in order to gain their support. If one of these groups does not perceive learning and development programs to be beneficial or necessary then they are likely to be resistant and the true potential or benefits will not be gained (Garavan, 2007). Therefore the perceptions of
As part of the HRDNI process, learning development and training opportunities support the organisation achieving the organisations strategies as it can help to improve organisational, team and individual performance ( Armstorng and Baron 2002 cited in Neale 2004).
“Strategic HR planning predicts the future HR management needs of the organization after analyzing the organization's current human resources, the external labor market and the future HR environment that the organization will be operating in” (HR Council, n.d.). Human resource planning directly ties in to an organization’s strategic development and implementation by calculating company trends, resources, design, previous works and future expansion and ensuring that the impending requirements are met. This paper will further examine the role of human resource development

This artifact was a seminar paper written as a literature review to address topics, theories, issues, and trends in HRD in the course Seminar in Human Resource Development. This artifact considers strategic human resource management (SHRM) practices in terms of what human resource (HR) practitioners are doing and how it affects the organizations they are doing it in and the field of human resource development (HRD). Definitions of SHRM are represented as; a human resource system designed for the mandates of business strategy and a planned model of human resources activities to allow the organization to achieve its goals. It reports SHRM information found in literature and relates it to the study of HRD. I selected this artifact because it compares and contrasts SHRM approaches of HRD and analyzes each of their strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, the artifact evaluates and clarifies the importance of SHRM to HRD and its purpose and goal within an organization.
Human resource department is the field that takes control of training and overseeing employees. Therefore, it is important for HR personnel to develop and maintain some skills and knowledge in that field. Based on the CIPD HR professional map, there are some strategies, insights and solutions that can be followed. One of them is to ensure that Individuals understand the organization 's external goals and objectives and the different functions within it. Through understanding what should be done, employees will be able to focus on what they can do to help their organizations. Moreover, promoting leadership among teams and encouraging people to lead and make decisions is one of the most successful strategies used nowadays to
I constantly have a thirst for knowledge which has led me to gain a CIPD qualification.
Human resource helps in recruiting the most efficient employees for organizations. They support the use of training and development to improve individual employees as well as the whole organization. They make sure that the training given to the employees is effective and they support any changes that are essential for the improvement of the workplace (McLagan and Suhadolnick 1987). Human resource development now has evolved from just training to development of the whole organization or individual (Chalofsky and Lincoln 1983; Gilley 1998; Harris and DeSimone 1994; Kenny 1982; Nadler and Nadler

I believe that an organization's best competitive advantage is their people, and Human Resources Development (HRD) and employee participation is critical component of an organization's Strategic Human Resource Management. A culture that supports learning can make a world of difference, especially if senior managers and employees are committed to HRD. There are key issues that make training and learning more effective such as
I understand Human resource development as the proper preparation of employees for their positions and future growth. Workers are an asset to a company and businesses hire people who they think will better their occupation and in the end, reach the company’s goals or earn them more profits. However, most of the beginners on the job will not be ready to dive right in to workplace and will need a proper training before they are let loose. Disregarding to empower a company’s own workforce can in the end, be extremely detrimental to a business. It is so important that a company
Human resources are the most valuable assets of any organization, with the machines, materials and even the money; nothing gets done without man-power. In today’s business climate, businesses are faced with stiff internal and external competition. There are various human resource functions that give an organization a competitive edge, but most scholars argue that human resource functions becomes only operational when training has run through them all. This places training and development as an essential function in the survival of any organization. Increasingly, high performance organizations today are recognizing the need to use best training and development practices to enhance their competitive advantage.
It is necessary for human resource management to have a proper human resource planning. “Human resource planning involves planning that assure a firm’s needs for employees”, says Madura. She also includes that human resource planning consists of three tasks which are forecasting staffing needs, job analysis (Madura, 2007). Recruiting and selecting the right employee is not enough. There is a necessity to provide continuous training and development to the employees to be more productive and efficient. With great training, it enables the employees to be more innovative, creative, motivated and thus increase their working performance. Training can be through various types such as on the job training, off the job training, job rotation and scholarships.
The HR development has to ensure every organization has the skills of development, knowleage and experience in order to keep the long-term and short-term ambitions of learning and developing by themselves.
The function of human resource development (HRD) is fundamentally connected to individual and organisational development. As a result of this fundamental connection, it is ultimately human resource development (HRD) units in organisations that are well positioned to help develop an understanding and implementation of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
