From an organizational perspective, training and development contribute to higher productivity, improved quality of work, reduced employee turnover, enhanced organizational effectiveness, and the ability to adapt to changing business environments.

It typically includes stages such as conducting a training needs assessment, setting learning objectives, selecting appropriate training methods, delivering the training, and evaluating its impact.

These methods can be classified into various categories, such as instructor-led methods (e.g., lectures, demonstrations), hands-on methods (e.g., on-the-job training, simulations), technology-based methods (e.g., e-learning, virtual reality), and collaborative methods (e.g., group discussions, team projects). The selection of training methods depends on factors such as the training objectives, the nature of the skills to be developed, available resources, and the preferences of the learners.
