What is HRM?
HRM (Human Resource Management) deals with a wide range of issues, it is difficult to determine the exact definition as it varies from organization to organization. Storey (2007, p. 3) describes it as "two main forms of existence. One is in the form of academic discourse and activity. The other is in the form of practice in organizations". Training and Development and Managing Teams are important concepts of HRM, this essay will be exploring how these two concepts of HRM contribute to the effectiveness in organization.
Training and Development
Price (2011, p. 457) states that training is "geared towards planned development rather than being an isolated activity unconnected to the organization's objectives". Training is more common over learning in organizations, this is due to the value of it being easier to measure. Learning styles isn't just one topic, rather it is a range of concepts that involves modalities, preference and strategies (Egan, 2013). Learning styles can encourage learning and talent development, this is because it can bring a range of benefits to a firm such as motivation, creativity, greater productivity and more. On the other hand it is more difficult to measure and see the effects of this process, a survey report from CIPD Adviser McGurk (2013, p. 9) stated that "they have encountered difficulties in testing or measuring the effectiveness of Learning & Talent Development activity".
In order for training and development to be successful for the firm, they must make sure their learning programme covers the firm’s objectives and priorities. In recent models such as the learning cycle are used to help identify the clear objectives and outcomes of the course or learning programme, this goes through a...

Training should be interactive and motivating, and equal opportunities should be given to the employees to raise their questions. After the training employees should find themselves more comfortable and more motivated. Means training should be used as an incentive for raising employees’ confidence. Employee training pays off the cost and efforts of the organization, but slowly and gradually. This is the reason that leaders with acute business vision and acumen never lose patience, and they continuously invest in employee training for guaranteed results in the near
One individual who views learning organizations in a very special manner is Peter Senge. Peter Senge’s vision of a learning organization as a group of people who are continually enhancing their capabilities to create what they want to create has been deeply influential. This statement explains Senge’s beliefs about the learning organization. Because of Senges insight, when it comes to learning organizations his mind is one of the greatest.
This part of the paper we are going to talk about training, and the different types of training. First is the definition of training, “Training can be defined as a planned attempt by an organization to facilitate employee learning of job-related knowledge, skills, and behaviors.” (Pg. 161) When you hear the term training what do you think of? Maybe you’re thinking about a manager and a new employee learning the ropes of the business; and you are right, but there are many different types of training. The types that our group is going to talk about are: lecture, orientation, and, stimulation.
However, are formal training programs the vehicle by which the majority of employees and management alike acquire the bulk of knowledge needed to strive, survive, or prosper within the organizational structure, or is informal training taking the lead? Employees of today’s companies and agencies must recognize that they are in a dynamic environment that requires continuous adaptation, and in order for employees to meet their mission requirements they must hone their skills. While building their skills and knowledge base employees must understand the best way to maximize their capabilities needed to adequately address company’s future need by remaining current and engaging in the latest training via formal or informal training methods. This research project will review a study that was conducted to assist companies and agencies in ensuring their employees receive training in the format that best suits their ability to learn new information and techniques that will assist them in achieving their mission.
Human Resource Management (HRM) is defined as “Administrative activities associated with human resources planning, recruitment, selection, orientation, training, appraisal....” (www.bd....). HRM of an organisation is responsible for the move ‘overall’ management of the workforce in the organisation, i.e. coordinating the ‘activities’ of staff.
Training and development is an essential part of every organisation. It is a learning process that involves attainment of knowledge, honing of skills and altering of attitudes and behaviours to increase the performance of employees. According to Noe & Winkler (2012) training “refers to a planned effort to facilitate learning of competencies incuding knowledge, skills or behaviours that are critical for successful performance in an existing situation” (p. 3). Development on the other hand is also about knowledge, skills or behaviours “but the time frame moves into the future, so that it involves formal education and experiences that will be essential for future performance” (Noe & Winkler, 2012, pg. 3). The purpose of this study was to conduct an evaluation of a training or development program with reference to the Instructional Systems Design process focusing on both training design (formative evaluation) and training outcomes (summative evaluation) in an organisation which in this applied project is the Crest Commercial Cleaners. This applied project will contain sections:
Training and development are important factors to the success of any organization. Each employee is a valuable asset that can either add to the success a company or contribute to its failure.

A learning organisation encourages all forms of learning. It does not limit itself to the classroom learning, rote learning, behavioural learning. On the contrary, it uses every possible form of learning eclectically in order to derive the maximum benefits. Its goal is to achieve the end objective in the best possible manner.

Training is all about teaching people in order to improve their performance in a certain area. We will be focusing on engaging our learners. We want them to have hands on experience. Our training will have specific goals. That is measurable and attainable.
Besides, as stated in the book The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge (1990) defines a learning organization as an organization where individuals constantly grow their ability to produce the results they genuinely seek in their life. He also mentioned that in a learning organization, new and broader mindset is cultivated, collective aspirations set free and the organization is continually discovering how to learn to create their own future.
