Rather it means to prescribe and make clear the responsibility for the personnel department.
Tree training situation or need arises when there is a gap between the standard performance set out by the department and the actual performance of the subordinate. The purpose of training is to close the gap, and in its place exceed the industrial performance rate without human resources, achieving goals and objectives by the organizations would be extremely difficult; and without developing the human resources capacity, achieving the best, optimum result from the employees would be a mere penury.
