There are many basic training and development principles in human resource management. For instance, performance feedback is important as managers can use it to identify the employee's lack of skills in areas of the job and their approach to improving that weakness while maintaining behaviour.
Traditional constructive feedback, also known as weakness-based feedback, can often be viewed as malicious from the employees’ perspective. When interpreted negatively, employees lose motivation on the job, which affects their level of production.<ref name=":10">{{Cite journal|last1=Aguinis|first1=Herman|last2=Gottfredson|first2=Ryan K.|last3=Joo|first3=Harry|date=2012-03-01|title=Delivering effective performance feedback: The strengths-based approach|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0007681311001509|journal=Business Horizons|language=en|volume=55|issue=2|pages=105–111|doi=10.1016/j.bushor.2011.10.004|s2cid=154034097 |issn=0007-6813}}</ref> The other kind of feedback that is more effective is known as strengths-based feedback. This feedback is more effective because it is easier to adjust the performance once the individual can separate flaws from strengths. The strengths-based feedback is positive feedback that allows the employees to recognize their strengths and further improve their performance with that knowledge.<ref name=":10" /> Using this strategy as a base for constructive feedback shows support and encouragement towards the employee, which boosts their confidence. Confidence in the workplace allows individuals to stay focused and engaged. However, the disadvantage of strengths-based feedback is failing to perform at one's full potential due to overconfidence.
Reinforcement is another critical principle of employee training and development. By positively reinforcing employees with encouragement or reward, managers can establish a desired pattern of behaviour. Studies have shown that reinforcement directly influences employee learning, which is highly correlated with performance after training. Reinforcement based training emphasizes the importance of communication between managers and trainees in the workplace. The more the training environment can be a positive, nurturing experience, the more—and faster—attendees are apt to learn.<ref name=":11">Nelson, Bob. “A Dose of Positive Reinforcement Can Go a Long Way.” ''T+D'', vol. 67, no. 3, Mar. 2013, pp. 40–44.
