Conclusion
One-paragraph summary of your main points.
To help you become more familiar with Human Resources and Development professional articles, this assignment has a reference requirement of two articles from TD. Here is how you can find TD publications from the Library.
Note: If you reference, take care to use quotation marks for direct quotations. Here is an example with correct citation: According to Noe (2017), “Training and development can help a company’s competitiveness by directly increasing the company’s value through contributing to intangible assets” (p. 17).
Note: If you paraphrase, take care to use the author and year of publication. Here is an example with correct citation: Intangible assets are important for any company. One way their value can be increased is a strategic use of training and development (Noe, 2017).
