“In today’s economy, employees have less loyalty to an organization and are quite willing to move to another organization to advance their careers.” (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013) This is why employee development is so important in today’s society. It is also important because employees who are ambitious want to enhance their skills and knowledge, so by providing the opportunity to do so, it is reinforcing employee development and reassuring that they are valuable to the company. “Development of both management and non-management employees is necessary in today’s environment if an organization is to be a success.” (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013) It is both in the employees and managements interest to enhance development in both areas in the company. “Management training is seen as a vital part of improving organizational performance; A training professional needs to understand a part of the business that is in such demand.” (Blanchard & Thacker, 2013) Employee and management training is important for development. It identifies the people who are motivated and loyal to the company.
