Abstract: This paper reviews management practices relating to human resource development based on empirical investigations conducted in Sri Lanka. In doing so, the paper argues the need of utilising both formal and informal processes in human resource development and the importance of a more formalised and structured approach to human resource development. In addition, this paper emphasises the need of establishing organisational support systems to flow freely what individuals learnt from the development interventions within the organisation to be captured and used by other organisational members.
