About the Organizational and Employee Development Discipline 

The Organizational and Employee Development Discipline deals with the overall arrangement of the organization and its functions, including both the long-term and short-term identification and development of its human resources. It includes the process of enhancing the effectiveness of an organization and the well-being of its members through planned interventions; the set of systematic and planned activities designed by an organization to provide its members with the necessary skills to meet current and future job demands; coaching and training; succession planning; and other aspects of leadership and skills development.

It also includes matters that focus on careers, communications, legal and regulatory issues, technology, metrics and outsourcing in the organization and employee development fields, as well as effective practices and global issues.

It does not include matters such as employee engagement and employee involvement, which are encompassed in the Employee Relations Discipline, or employee retention, which is encompassed in the Staffing Management Discipline.
