Difference between Training and Development?

Answer Posted / nidhi

Training usually refers to some kind of organized (and
finite it time) event - a seminar, workshop that has a
specific beginning data and end date. It's often a group
activity, but the word training is also used to refer to
specific instruction done one on one.

Employee development, however, is a much bigger,
inclusive "thing". For example, if a manager pairs up a
relatively new employee with a more experienced employee to
help the new employee learn about the job, that's really
employee development. If a manager coaches and employee in
an ongong way, that's employee development. Or, employees
may rotate job responsibilities to learn about the jobs of
their colleagues and gain experience so they might
eventually have more promotion opportunities. That's
employee development.

In other words employee development is a broader term, that
includes training as one, and only one of its methods for
encouraging employee learning.
