Understanding HRD: How Do You Design Effective HRD Systems in Your Organization?

Can someone help me with the concept of HRD and the principles of designing HRD systems in any organization.

Hi Sharon,

I fully agree with Sayali that HRD and its principles cannot be explained in a few lines. To design an HRD System, one needs in-depth knowledge. I would suggest you take an H.R. full-time course.

Dear Friend,

HRD is an abbreviated form of "Human Resource Development." The concept implies the development of human resources to meet certain organization's objectives. In a nutshell, one can say HRD is a defined roadmap to enable an organization to translate the same into an action plan to achieve predetermined and predefined organizational objectives. The underlying theme of HRD is to train and develop the human resource in a manner that they become equipped to perform at an improved level to meet these defined organizational objectives. Defining the organizational objectives is only the start of the journey, and meeting the objectives is the goal. What happens in between are various processes and strategies to facilitate and power the journey.

Yes, the term HRD encompasses a vast canvas. Each organization, depending upon the objectives it plans to achieve, will paint a picture in accordance with its own specific game plan.

HRD is based on HR functions. Development can be seen in recruitment, PMS, E-SAT, employee relations, MIS, labor welfare, etc.
