Human resources are the most valuable assets of any organization, with the machines, materials and even the money; nothing gets done without man-power.

One possible solution to the problem of malnutrition is eradicating poverty and providing health services in developing countries. For example sub Saharan African countries have a low economy and poor health services in the rural areas which increase the risk of malnutrition. According to WHO (2011) poverty causes ill-health because it forces people to live in environments without the basic amenities of life i.e. dirty water, no shelter and poor sanitation. Providing health services can help to fight illness and malnutrition. According to UNICEF (2000) government and non-government organisations can come together to provide health services and vaccines to the rural areas. In addition, providing free health care and check services helps to reduce malnutrition. The world health organisation (2011) also highlights that adequate provision of food and health education also help to reduce the risk of malnutrition.

In the light of this situation, skill development has gained an stimulus in India’s policy-making circles headquartered in New Delhi. The central government’s concern with this shortage of skilled workers is best described in the words of the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, “As our economy booms and as our industry grows, I hear a pressing complaint about an imminent shortage of skilled employees. As a country endowed with huge human resources, we cannot let this be a constrain” (Government of India 2011). Towards this end, the government of India has set for itself a task of creating a skilled workforce of 500 million by 2022.

In order to enhance creativity, HRD interventions are required. HRD is often described as the activities such as training, learning and education to improve people’s knowledge, skills and capabilities (Carbery and Cross, 2015; Ruona, 2016).

HRD interventions can contribute to employee development, improving job performance, problem solving, and organisational performance development.

I do believe that skills in today’s work environment have changed. Getting a job used to be based solely on your Interpersonal skills. Being social and knowing the right people or being in the right place at the right time would give you endless opportunities for employment. While I still believe this is true, employees are looking for more skills. One question during interviews includes your knowledge of the job/position and what the employee can bring to the company. Having basic computer, math, reading and writing skills are also important. With technology improving, these basic skills are necessary. Other skills needed to be successful in jobs include; communication, work ethics, ability to adapt, taking responsibility, being organized, critical thinking and being a good role model.
