Synopsis Training no more remains an administrative formality. Training today is treated as a part of the strategic imperatives of an organization. The organizations treat training as a continual practice, unlike the earlier times, when training was synonymous with employee induction program. With the popularity of practices like continuous improvement, continuous learning, etc., and with increasing competition at the global level, training has assumed paramount importance across the corporate world. However, the training intensities and practices vary significantly from country to country and from culture to culture. While the companies in a few countries view training as a potential avenue for investment, for others it is yet a substantial challenge. Considering the growing need for training at workplaces and varying trends in training and development across the countries, it is essential to gather learning from the cross-country training experiences. This book promotes Training and Development as a strategic tool and presents T&D practices prevailing across the globe.
