1. What is HR Development?
Human resource development (HRD) comprises the procedures and processes that purposely seek to provide learning activities to enhance the skills, knowledge and capabilities of people, teams and the organization so that there is a change in action to achieve the desired outcomes.
(Bratton & Gold 2007: 306)
HRD is the planned and systematic modification of behaviour through learning events, programmes and instructions that enable individuals to achieve the levels of knowledge, skill and competence needed to carry out their work effectively.
