The ultimate responsibility of facilitating all trainings in the company is with the HR Department. However, finding exact training needs per employee is more a Line Manager responsibility!

Absolutely, as it is also part of the responsibility of HR Department to equip their employees with soft skills that will help them to further improve as well as to help them efficiently and effectively perform their tasks in the workplace.

Thank you, Ms. Zain for the invitation to answer. Yes, this is HR's responsibility but as answered by Mr. Mujeeb Durrani that such training you mentioned has a limit. Training handled by HR were usually focusing on the leadership and professional development of employees. Some HR were also providing some venue at some point of time at work that develops employee's emotional intelligence such as team building activities, value enrichment programs, counselling and other related activities. However, since HR has the primary responsibility to assess the needs of training for employees, and if such need determines as important and has a great impact for the improvement of the majority of the workforce then such training will be necessary.
