A successful organization is built on satisfied and trained employees. They are the company’s greatest assets. Employee development is defined as formal education, on-the-job training, previous job experience, personality mapping, and improvement in the current skill sets as to prepare the employee for future.
A trained and developed staff will contribute to productivity increase, improved profitability and significant increase in the market share. Therefore, it is very important for companies to design and maintain efficient training/development systems for employees.
An employee development system consists of induction, training, development, periodic counseling, performance appraisal and career management. This system is deployed to ensure that employees are able to perform the task they have been hired for and are competent to make career progression along with it.

Employee participation is voluntary in training while it is mandatory in development.
An employee development system ensures alignment between employee’s potential and organizational expectation. There are various approaches to ensure this alignment.

The development system is not only restricted to online tools but also includes various policies and procedures.

One of biggest employer fear is that post training employees would look for employment change and hence they do not encourage training. Though this concern is valid in some cases, but overall it has shown that trained employee show better motivation level and loyalty.
