Abstract: This study aims to determine the current training and development experiences and the emerging best practices of large corporations in the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors in the Philippines. The findings reveal that the most frequently cited importance of training is that it helps improve job performance. Companies implement technical training slightly more than behavioral training. The most often used training method is the lecture, combined with the usage of new technologies such as the CD-ROM, the Internet, and the company intranet/portal. Adequate resources like budget and expertise are provided for the delivery of training and development programmes. The implementation of extensive continuing training and development programmes, not only for the improvement of technical competence, but for the development of cultural behavior and values congruent with that of the company's core values and philosophy, is one of their emerging best practices that stimulate innovation.
