HRM Text Book - Volume 1

HRM Text Book - Volume 1: Training and Development in the AI Era has been developed with this changing reality in mind. The book is designed as a practical and academically grounded resource for MBA students, HR professionals, trainers, educators, managers, and future leaders who wish to understand not only the principles of Training and Development but also their application in an increasingly intelligent workplace.The central philosophy of this book is simple: technology may transform the workplace, but people remain at the centre of organisational success. Artificial Intelligence can analyse information, personalise learning, identify skill gaps, generate content, and support decision-making. However, meaningful development still requires human judgement, empathy, motivation, creativity, ethical responsibility, mentoring, coaching, and leadership. The future of Training and Development will therefore not be about choosing between humans and machines; it will be about creating effective partnerships between human potential and intelligent technology.The book begins with the foundations of Training and Development and gradually progresses towards contemporary approaches to learning, instructional design, training delivery, evaluation, talent development, organisational learning, Artificial Intelligence, sustainability, and Strategic Human Resource Development.
