What is Learning?

Learning : A qualitative change in a person's way of seein, experiencing, understanding and conceptualising something in the real world (Marton and Ramsden 1988). 

People learn in different aspects. Ever since you are born, you will be learning until your last breath. Learning is a continuous process. Even if you join a new job or even if you start a new journey of your life, you will be learning. 

Workplace Learning

The simple act of observing more experienced colleagues can accelerate learning; conversing, swapping stories, cooperating on tasks and offering mutual support deepen and solidify the process. This kind of learning – often very informal in nature – is thought to be vastly more effective in building proficiency than more formalized training methods. Reynolds (2004)

Workplace learning is largely experiential learning – learning by doing. But is also social or cooperative learning – learning from other people. It involves self-managed learning and is enhanced by coaching, mentoring, e- learning and planned experience.

The characteristics of workplace learning were explained by Stern and Sommerlad (1999) as follows:

 * The workplace as a site for learning

 * The workplace as a learning environment.

 * Learning and working are inextricably mixed.

What is Development?

Personal Development: It is the development of an individual’s skills, competence, attributes, and personality through education, training, and other activities (Edmund, H and Mike, N. 2017)

Personal Development is a lifelong process. Same as learning day by day you get better in your life. You develop yourself into a better version of your life through learning. Personally developed individuals will be an advantage for any organization in their long run. Employees with experience and expert knowledge will add more value to the organization.
