Modern Personnel Training and Development: A Growth Plan Organizations Should Not

Abstract

This academic article focuses on human resources (HR), a critical department for all organizations, emphasizing the importance of personnel training and development—particularly Human Resource Development (HRD). Organizations must adapt and prioritize personnel development, as the growth of any organization depends on the quality, knowledge, and skills of its workforce. Effective training and development processes enhance employees' skills, thinking, roles, and attitudes, ultimately enabling them to perform their duties efficiently. The study synthesizes knowledge through interviews conducted via the Line application, targeting HR academics, organizational personnel, and supervisors from both the public and private sectors, as well as through academic texts, documents, and research studies. The findings highlight the significance and benefits of personnel training and development as follows: 1) Ensuring accurate task execution and improving organizational productivity, 2) Fostering creativity and positive attitudes among employees, 3) Equipping employees with new skills and knowledge for career advancement, and 4) Developing employees’ competencies to align with organizational business goals. Thus, personnel training and development in various aspects are essential and align with HR functions. Organizations must prepare plans to address changes and modernize themselves, ensuring that training programs meet the needs of participants and the specific contexts of each organization. Investing in personnel development is crucial, as well-trained employees bring their acquired knowledge and skills back to foster organizational growth according to the outlined training plans.
