Abstract

Training and development are key activities for all organisations. The organisation may decide to use its own trainers or buy in specialist skills. Either way training serves a variety of purposes. For example, it can be used to motivate people: send them on a course to show them how much the organisation loves them. It can also be used as a form of punishment: some people are not sent on the training courses they need or qualify for, or they are sent on courses in areas where they are competent but perhaps made a small mistake. The organisation, in the form of a particular boss, is trying to tell them something.
