HRD is the framework for helping employees develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. A set of systematic and planned activities designed by an organization or HR department to provide its members with the necessary skills to meet current and future job demands. The concept of Development should cover not only the individual but other units in the organization, too. The entire department and the entire organization also should be covered by development. Their development would involve developing a climate conducive to their effectiveness, developing a self-renewing mechanism in the organizations so that they are able to adjust and develop relevant processes which contribute to their effectiveness. Introduction

An ASTD-sponsored study by Pat McLagan in 1989 depicted the relationship between HRM and HRD functions as a “human resource wheel.” The original HR wheel from McLagan identified three primary HRD functions: (1) Training and development (2) Organizational Development (3) Career development.
