Standard Performance – Actual Performance.

employee undergoing training is presumed to have had some formal
education. No training program is complete without an element of education.

help employees to grow. Development is not primarily skills oriented. Instead it
provides the general knowledge and attitudes, which will be helpful to
employers in higher positions. Efforts towards development often depend on
personal drive and ambition. Development activities such as those supplied by

Development provides knowledge about business environment, management
principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry analysis and the
like is useful for better management of a company.
