  1. A contemporary and a timely topic.! Most of the employers miss investing on this and end of the day end up losing best amount of time spent on re-work and reversing jobs done with less competence. Training and development costs incurred must be considered as a significant future prospect. While talking about training and development another HR subject that goes in line with it is Employee retention.
