Human Resource Development key to Institutionalization:
In 1970 Len Nadler published his now-classic book Developing Human Resources
, in which he coined the term "human resource development" (HRD). The term HRD provided a conceptual umbrella under which the field began to unify, using the three-fold notion of training, education, and development. HRD provided purpose and direction for the continued growth of the field: organized learning to provide the possibility of performance change. It further identified a core discipline from which a field of study could develop: adult learning in the workplace. McLagans HRD studies in 1983 and 1989 reflected a shift taking place in HRD work. In 1983 the assumptions in the competency models focused on change in technology. In 1987 Patricia McLagan proposed the following narrative definition of HRD: (HRD) is the means used to support the mission of human resource management, which is to maximize employee performance.
HRD is also defined by four functions:
Education.
Training.
Development.
Career Management.
HRD is the integrated use of training and development, career development, and organization development to improve individual effectiveness. In HRD Emphasis On improving Existing Skills and Exploring Potential Skills of an Individual. It supports to make attachment of Organizational and Individual Goals and acquire or Sharpen Their Capabilities Required To Perform Various Obligations, Tasks and Functions. The HRD process is highly supportive machanizm to develop their capabilities as individual so That They May Be Able To Discover Their Potential And Exploit them To Full Their Own and/or Organizational Development Purpose And To Develop An Organizational Culture Where Superior Subordinate Relationship Team Work And Collaboration Among Different Sub Units Are Strong And Contribute to Organizational Wealth, Dynamism And Pride To The Employees.

Human resource development (HRD) can be defined as a set of systematic and planned activities designed by an organization to provide its members with the opportunities to learn necessary skills to meet current and future job demands. Learning is at the core of all HRD efforts. HRD activities should begin when an employee joins an organization and continue throughout his or her career, regardless of whether that employee is an executive or a worker on an assembly line. HRD programs must respond to job changes and integrate the long term plans and strategies of the organization to ensure the efficient and effective use of re-sources.
All resources of production are important like machine, capital, money, land and building etc. in order to ensure the achievement of production of a running factory. Over all supremacy has to be given to the element of human resource. Man itself ensures the economical use of resources by applying wisdom. Hence, any amount of efforts spent on training of human resources will yield its appropriate result and higher productivity of the organization. The prospects and growth, productivity and profitability of an organization depend maximum on effective utilization of such resources employed in the effort of achieving company objectives. The achievement of an organization can be seen as a result of cooperation and hard work at all the levels of functioning of an organization. Any huge capital investment in developing infrastructure of a training institute and its running will, in the years to come, show its results in achieving higher productivity and profitability.
Till the moment the topic or term of HRD is most debatable in our society. Mostly the managers are confuse that either the term is the part of Human Resource Management within the organization or it can be used on the whole. Recently several scholars of the subject have clarified the term of HRD that it can be used on both levels. They divided it in two parts; Macro HRD and Micro HRD. Hence, the process of development individuals like employee etc is called Micro HRD and developing institutions, organizations, companies in a broad way is basically known as Macro HRD.
HRD is a course of action in which the employees of an organization are continuously helped in a planned manner. Human resources are the assets which do not find a place for mentioning in the balance sheet of a company. But it is one of the most important assets as human resources are a resource of production as well as they are utilizing other resources of production like a material, machines, money etc.
This is viewed that the HRD is the most neglected area in organizations. In Pakistan although it is new term which is being used but need to spread out it more. There is need to understand the concept the HRD that not only trainings are the part of the it but all four areas played crucial role in this regard; Education, Training, Development and Career Management.
