This paper focuses on the human resource management function and employee training, representing the organization's strategic effort to enhance employees' performance in their workplace. The emphasis is particularly on research regarding training and development in the company "Gorenje LLC Belgrade." Traditionally, employee training has been seen as a tool to teach employees specific skills and behaviors necessary for performing the job at a standard level of performance. However, in modern organizations, the focus of training is shifting towards aligning it with business needs and using it as a tool for knowledge creation and sharing. Employee development has become an increasingly significant activity within the human resource management function due to the globalization of the world economy, the growing need for leadership, the increasing importance of knowledge, the need to attract talented individuals, a stronger focus on quality, and rapid changes. Effective training must have clearly defined objectives, align with identified needs, be planned, and ensure the application of learning experiences. The ideal situation is when training meets both the organization's needs and the individual needs of employees. The goal of training is to eliminate any performance deficits on the employees' side in a short period.
