Human Resource Development (HRD) is an interdisciplinary field that combines insights from psychology, sociology, economics, organizational development, and education. We explore the human element of how organizations run. We research the dynamics between employees in an organizational context, and how knowledge is created and shared both formally and informally.
HRD practitioners are prepared to design training and development programs, identify system and business process needs, forecast necessary staffing changes, and improve employee engagement and performance.
