Article Abstract:
Although companies often view training as the solution to any problem within the organization, the trainers go through a maturation process in which they learn that training is not the only answer, and that in some cases, training programs are inappropriate and a waste of time. A trainer's organizational role then changes from training employees in basic skills to solving the organization's structural or conceptual problems. . Training is a short term solution unless it works towards observable results that can be appraised, as is the case with sound skill training.

Article Abstract:
Many personnel professionals do not understand that employee training and employee orientation can be very different things. Not understanding the difference between the two concepts can limit the effectiveness of both training and orientation. Training involves teaching people skills so that they become qualified to do a certain task. It is designed to change behavior. Orientation, on the other hand, helps employees to adapt to new work environments and to understand company goals. Orientation addresses knowledge and attitudes instead of behavior.
