DESTINY CONSULTING -Training & Development

In organizational development, the related field of training and development (T & D) deals with the design and delivery of learning to improve performance within organizations.

Training and development can be initiated for a variety of reasons for an employee or group of employees, e.g.,:

• When a performance appraisal indicates performance improvement is needed
• To "benchmark" the status of improvement so far in a performance improvement effort
• As part of an overall professional development program
• As part of succession planning to help an employee be eligible for a planned change in role in the organization
• To "pilot", or test, the operation of a new performance management system
• To train about a specific topic

"The biggest mistake is believing there is one right way to listen, to talk, to have a conversation-or a relationship."
