Business plays a mammoth role in workforce development, but
many environments are inhospitable to learning, and business goals may
fail to serve the learner. The competitive global economy has caused
employers to take a greater interest in human resource development because
it is through people, not technology, that competitive edge is gained.

According to
Bierema (2000), although the
corporate world represents a major influence in employees' education, what
matters is how this education positively impacts job outcomes regardless
of the educational interests of the learner. The increasing interest in
human resources development is a sign of the importance of people as the
greater resources in organizations. |
