Regardless of how long they’ve been with the firm or how new they are, all employees require skill development and advancement opportunities to be productive and successful in their professional and personal lives.
The HR department is responsible for planning and overseeing the training requirements of employees. Training in new technologies, employee relations, or leadership for current or future supervisors are examples of professional development and seminars.
It is also possible for HR to recommend or support employees’ professional growth by providing tuition aid or reimbursement for a higher education degree.
