According to Dessler (2013) Orientation is the process by which introducing organization, people and its culture to new employees such as Company rules, ethics, Computer passwords, etc).

Learning is the process by which a person acquires new knowledge, skills and capabilities as per the job requirement. Learning requirement, either it can be created from both employee or employer based on the requirement, however, benefit/outcome of learning always specifically job related. (Armstrong, 2009)

According to Armstrong (2009) above learning approach has called as “Training” during the time of delivered by the orgarnisation or an external service (Eg: Streamline errors/weakness or improve customer service). Today the approach is called as “Learning” and it is become ‘just-for-you’ and ‘just-on-time’ (Developed by the individual through experience).

Development - Learning is a continuous process and the long term process by which a person acquires new knowledge, skills and attitudes, which is concerned with the overall growth of the employees (Armstrong, 2009).
