Waddoups (2012) notes, “some people today are wandering generalities instead of meaningful specifics because they have failed to discover and mine the wealth of potentials in them” (p. 1139). All companies, here size does not matter as the said company could be one on the Forbes list or a private limited company with only a handful of employees, have a special unit to carry out their training requirements.

Then starts the deal of profiling the said candidates and the best are chosen and taken aboard. The resumes of these candidates strictly related to the work the employee is meant to do or various other forms of training methods to improve the overall efficiency of the individual (Saks and Belcourt 640).
Training and development are closely related. All kinds of development that is seen in an employee stems from training in his/her work field or otherwise however, all forms of training need not necessarily lead to assured development.

This is done to keep in mind in case later on there is a vacancy in a different position, the same people can be employed instead of hiring fresh from outside.
