 “a learning activity which leads to acquisition of specific knowledge and skills for the
purpose of occupation or task which is necessary for the development of both the

Activity
T&D by its very nature is related to various other activities activated by the human resource
department
Relationship with Job Analysis

 Job Analysis and the nature of the job and its requirements
 When we consider job analysis the question we have to ask is,

 “what must a trainee be taught in order to help him perform a job


effectively?”.

 As such the information analysis is directly related to the training


process
 i.e. to select trainees & identify their needs.
Relationship with the staffing function
 Staffing also has a direct relationship to training of human resources.

 If the organization hires personnel who already possess the required standard of
knowledge and skills to perform the job well,

 there will be less need for training and development programmes for the
purpose of upgrading the employee.

 On the contrary, if the company’s selection programme is weak and hires those
who have little skills and inadequate knowledge,

 more training and development programmes will be needed for the newly hired
employees to equip them the required expertise.
Relationship with the performance Appraisal
Several instances of how performance appraisal is related to training and
development can be identified as follows

 As a means of determining training needs for various organizational units


 As a basis for evaluating the worth of training programmes.
 As a means of improving proficiency of the employed by the providing
each of them with feedback regarding their performance during
periodical appraisal interviews with their supervisors.
Relationship with organizational development

of the total organization.

specialists are,
