The HKMA have just announced a change in their award title, formerly known as the Award for Excellence in Training, the new award will be entitled: the Award for Excellence in Training & Development. This shift marks the movement among many organisations away from a traditional ‘training only’ approach to a more holistic ‘training and development’ approach to help nurture talent. HR Magazine spoke to
Graham Barkus, Head of Organisation Development and Learning, Cathay Pacific Airways, and member of the Human Resources Development Management Committee for the HKMA Awards about the significance of staff T&D.
