Companies that use innovative training and development practices are likely to report better financial performance than their competitors that do not. Training and development also help a company develop the human capital needed to meet competitive challenges. Many companies now recognize that learning through training, development, and knowledge management helps employees strengthen or increase their skills directly impacting their job performance, satisfactio n, and career advancement. Training has moved from an emphasis of a onetime event to the creation of conditions for learning that can occur through collaboration, online learning, traditional classroom training, or a combination of these methods. The 8th edition covers and addresses the changes in training and development from an employer and employee perspective - adding value to the employer and employee. Based on the authors extensive experience in teaching training and development courses to both graduate and undergraduate students, Employee Training and Development, Eighth Edition, retains the lively writing style, inspiring examples, and emphasis on new technology and strategic training from previous editions.

He has consulted with several companies, including Strategic Interactive and General Motors Assurance Corporation, on training and development issues.
This book helped me a lot for my thesis. Of course it's too general if you look for specific topics like TNA, Evaluation or Design. But this can be a good reference.
Ok as a textbook for "T&D" or "L&D" course. Typically taught as a elective for MBA, often opted by students wish to specialize in HR.
It nicely covers four core areas in L&D, viz. need analysis, training design, training delivery, and training evaluation.
However, many recent areas in training are not covered. Like technology use in training. Influence of social media on L&D, MOOC, upcoming areas like metaverse, various technology's used in training are not covered. Design thinking, Agile training design. Role of L&D head or path to L&D head - will also add value.
Book will also benefit from some comprehensive case studies. A case or discussion on use of L&D as a strategic tool will add value.
L&D is very close to OD (Organizational design and change) consultants. Hence a coverage on L&D problem solving, some key skills for L&D Consultants will add value.
Off-course a serious learner - will use the book as a anchor and learn/read these topics on his own else where. A basic listing is available here 13 books on L&D learners
Honestly, I've read much better books about I/O psychology and management (and I've read only a handful). This one uses MBTI for it's examples. And is quite repetetive and uses too much words to explain quite simple things. Also the company examples it uses are too much American-centered. Even though this book isn't ment only for Americans. Average is the best word I can label it with. 2,5/5.
Actually liked reading this book. It met all the objectives it set out to cover. All of the Professor's assignments were taken from the book...discussion questions, application exercises, and case papers. Part of our grade was setting up an interactive computer based training (CBT) module which was discussed in the book. The class itself stretched me academically and exercised my critical thinking skills. Enjoyed the text, the class, and especially Professor Michelle Smith, PhD. I usually rent my text and return them after I've completed the class, but I'm actually thinking of keeping this one.
This is one of the best textbooks I have used in my school career. If you want a deeper understanding of the material then this book may not be the right one for you. This book focuses more on helping someone new to the human resources who is looking to understand what helps make up a training and development employee program. I found the definitions clear to understand, the examples very helpful in further understanding the definitions, the diagrams were throughout the book and visually helped me understand what all the written material were trying to convey. This is a very great resource textbook that has made my class so much easier.
This book is in serious need of an editor not only for grammar but also for updated tech terms. It also needs an added section on Bloom's taxonomy and a separate chapter on legal compliance. In addition, the separate chapter on tech teaching strategies should be merged with the chapter on teaching strategies in general. Tech and teaching are no longer two separate concepts. Good stuff and worth the read; some editing would make it much more enjoyable.
