1. HRD Functions
   This is very fundamental and descriptions would be available in any introductory training and development text.

   Fortunately the functions are largely linear which makes it easy to follow. It goes like this:

   Core functions

   1. Identify training and development needs
   2. Determine how needs will be met
   3. Deliver training and development
   4. Assess outcomes
   5. Record attendances and outcomes (records management)
   6. Evaluate programs

   Peripheral functions

   1. Strategic and Operational planning
   2. Marketing and PR
   3. Managing budget
   4. Managing staff
   5. Networking and client relationship management

   And of course there could be others depending on how the specific HRD unit was set up.

   This should at least be a start Majid.
