This unit deals with the emerging and interdisciplinary field that is broadly defined as human resource development. The main focus is on learning experiences and interventions that are intended to change organisational behaviour and to bring about improved performance improvement and personal growth. A framework is used to examine the static and dynamic natures of organisations and to consider a range of issues such as: What is HRD?; The connections between HRD and HRM; The changing nature of work and careers; Theory and practicalities of training; Performance management, planning and review; and a range of strategic HRD considerations.
