Human Resource Development system we talked in our last post. Today we are going to talk about The Concept of HRD. Human resource development in the organization context is a process by which the employees of an organization are helped, in a continuous and planned way, to:

1. Acquire or sharpen capabilities required to perform various functions associated with their
present or expected future roles.

2. Develop their general capabilities as individuals and discover and exploit their own inner
potentials for their own and/ororganizational development purpose.

3. Develop an organizational culture in which supervisor-subordinate relationships,

teamwork, and collaborations among sub-units are strong and contribute to the professional well being, motivation, and pride of employees. This definition of HRD is limited to the organizational context. In the context of a state or nation it would differ. HRD is a process, not merely a set of mechanisms and techniques. The mechanisms and techniques such as performance appraisal, counseling, training, and organization development interventions are used initiate, facilitate, and promote this process in a continues way. Because the process has no limit, the mechanisms may need to be examined periodically to see whether they are promoting or hindering the process. Organizations can facilitate this process of development by planning for it, by allocating organizational resources for the purpose, and by exemplifying an HRD philosophy that values human beings and promotes their development.
