Human Resource Development (HRD) is a continuous, planned process for improving employee competencies to achieve organizational and individual goals. It involves systematically identifying and developing employees' skills, knowledge, and abilities through methods like training, coaching, and mentoring to enhance performance, boost morale, and foster a culture of continuous learning. HRD is a strategic approach that aligns individual employee growth with the organization's long-term objectives and helps the organization adapt to a changing business environment.
