EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In today’s highly competitive world, it is absolutely essential to highly efficient and effective workforce in the organisation. So we need to adopt and implement the most effective and latest method of training and development while preparing the workforce for the organisation. The present report has been prepared to give a deep insight to the present situation of training and development. The project concentrated on finding out the effective method of training and development. The stated objective of the study was further broken down to secondary objective which has been carried out to get information regarding the frequency of the training program to be designed with-in year, usual method of training and development, length of training and development module, use of audio/visual aids etc. The exploratory research was carried out by interacting whit 50 respondents whit a set of 18 open ended questions. A survey was conducted in the corporate offices with the managerial level employees based on the questionnaire to know the ground situation. The exploratory findings helped us in determining the key factors which are required to be further explored for marketing training program more effective. Each of the questions has been designed to satisfy at last one of the secondary objective of the research. The response format has been a mixed variety which also helped in getting better outcomes.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness to particular work area by getting more knowledge and practices. Also training is important to established specific skill, abilities and knowledge to an employee. For an organisation, Training and development are important as well as organisational growth, because the organisational growth and profit are also dependent on the training. But the training is not core of organisational development. It is a function of the organisation development. Training is different from education; particularly formal education. The education is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, but the aim of training are increasing knowledge while changing attitudes and competences in good manner. Basically the education is formulated within the framework and syllabus, but the training is not formed in to the frame and as well as syllabus. It may differ from one employee to another, one group of another, even the group in the same class. The reason for that can be mentioned as difference of attitude and skill from one person to another. Even the situation is that, after good training program, all different type skilled one group of employees can get into similar capacity, similar skilled group, that is an advantage of training. In the field of Human resources management, Training and development is the field concern with organisation activities which are aimed to bettering individual and group performances in organisational setting. It has been know by many names in the field HRM, such as employee development, human resources development, learning and development etc. Training is really development employee’s capacities through learning and practices. Training and development is the framework for helping employees to develop their personal and organisational skill, knowledge and abilities. The focus of all aspect of Human Resource and Development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the organisation and individual employees can accomplished their work goals in service to customers. All employees want to be valuable and remain competitive in the labour market at all times. Cause they make some demand for employees in the labour market. This can only be

achieved through employees training and development. Hence to employees have a chance to negotiate as wells employee has a good opportunity to select most suitable person for this vacancy. Employees always want to develop career-enhancing skills, which is always lead to employee motivation there is no doubt well-trained and develop staff will be a valuable asset to the company and thereby increase the chances of the efficiency in discharging his or her duties. Training is an organisation can be mainly of two types; Internal or External training sessions. Internal training involves when training is organised in-house by the human resources development or training department either a senior staff or any talented staff in the particular department as a resource person. On the other hand external training is normally arrange outside the firm and is mostly organised by training institutes or consultants. Whichever training, it is very important for all staff and help in building career positioning and preparing staff for greater challenge in developing world. However the train is costly. Because of that, people who work at firms do not received external training is most of time. The cost is the major issue for the lack of training programs is Sri Lanka. But now a days, a new concept has come with this trainings which are “trainers through trainees” while training their employees in large quantities, many countries use that method in present days to reduce their training cost. The theory of this is, sending a little group or an individual for a training programmes under a bonding agreement or without a bond. When they come back to work, the external trained employees train the employees who have not participated for above training programmer by internal training programs. Employees of labour should enable employees to pursue training and development in a direction that they choose and are interested in, not just in company-assigned directions. Companies should support learning, in general, and just in support to knowledge needed for the employee’s current or next anticipated job. It should be noted that the key factor is keeping the employee interested, attending, engaged, motivated and retained. For every employee to perform well, especially supervisors and managers, there is a need constant training and development. The right employee training, development and education provide big payoffs for the employer in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty and contribution to general growth of the firm. In most case internal trainings for instance provide participants with the avenue to meet new set of people in the same field and network. The

meeting will give them the chance to compare issues and find out what is obtainable in each other’s environment. This for will sure introduce positive change where necessary. It is not maintained anywhere that the employees, manager and supervisor are not suitable for training programme. They also must be highly trained if they are expected to do their best for the organisation. Through that they will have best abilities and competencies to manage the organisation. Training employees not only create a more positive corporate culture, but also add a value to its key resources. Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the organisation to achieve it goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the developed employees are continuously increasing. Thus the training is a kind of investment

1.2 Objective of the study 

To study the existing training & development process in NALCO.



To study the effectiveness of the training and development system in NALCO



CHAPTER-3 THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY

THEORETICAL ASPECTS

It’s assuming ever important role in wake of the advancement of technology which has resulted in ever increasing competition, rise in customer’s expectation of quality & service & a subsequent need to lower costs. It is also become more important globally in order to prepares workers for new jobs. In the current write up, we will focus more on the emerging need of training & development, its implications upon individuals & the employers. Before we say that technology is responsible for increased need of training inputs to employees, it is important to understand that there are other factors too that contribute to the later. Training is also necessary for the individual development & progress of employee, which motivates him to work for a certain organization part from just money. We also require training update employees of the market trends, the change in the employment policies & other things. The following are the two biggest factors that contribute to the increased need to training & development in organization:

1. Change: The word change encapsulates almost everything. It is one of the biggest factors that contribute to the need of training & development. There is in fact a direct relationship between the two. Change leads to the need for training & development &training & development leads to individual & organizational change, & the cycle goes on and on. More specially it is the technology that is driving the need; changing the way how business function, complete & deliver.

2. Development: It is again one the strong reasons for training & development becoming all the more important. Money is not the sole motivator at work & this is especially very true for the 21st century. People who work with organizations seek more than just employment out of their work; they look at holistic development of self. Spiritually & self-awareness for example are gaining momentum world over. People seek happIeness at jobs which may not be possible unless an individual is aware of the self. At ford, for example, an individual can

enrollhimslef / herself in a course on ‘self-awareness’, which apparently seems inconsequential to ones performance at work but contributes to the spiritual wellbeing of an individual which is all the more important.

His process of needs assessment happens at three stages or levels, the organizational, the job & the person or the individual. This is the basis for any needs assessment survey & remains the same more or less in all organizations around the globe. There are however many techniques for collecting the data for training need analysis. This article discusses some of the methods used for the same.

The needs assessment conducted at various stages tries to answer a different sect of questions. Organizational analysis, for example, aims at the ‘Where in the organization’ of the training. Person analysis similarly attempts to decipher the question of ‘Whom in the organization’. There are therefore various instruments or techniques that are used to collect data for the analysis at each stage.

Techniques for collecting data at Organizational Level

As discussed already, in organizational analysis we try to ascertain the areas in the organization that require training interventions. For example, among the various kinds of interventions that organizations chose it was found out managerial training is picking up fast among corporations & also that managerial contemporaries amount for 98% of success in the jobs.

Personnel & skill inventories, organizational climate & efficiency indices, Management requests, Exit interviews, management by objectives (MBO) are the various kinds of techniques that are used at the level of organizational analysis for collecting data for training needs analysis.

Essentially all these tools collect data that is inferential in nature, but does not give a clear picture of the training needs. For example, the above mentioned tools may lead an organization to reduce that ‘there is a need for aligning the work processes with the organizational goals / objectives’, which is not very rich diagnostically. It may require further analysis, which is done with the help of tools at the level of job or the task. The techniques for data collection at the level of the job include job description, performance standards, work sampling, job specifications, job literature analysis, & analysis of operational problems among others. These techniques are aimed at extracting data for understanding the

target of training i.e. what exactly should be taught in training. Time management may be may be one critical intervention in project handling / management.

TYPES OF TRAINING

A. On-the-job training methods: Under these methods new or inexperienced employees learn through observing peers or managers performing the job and trying to imitate their behaviour. These methods do not cost much and are less disruptive as employees are always on the job, training is given on the same machines and experience would be on already approved standards, and above all the trainee is learning while earning. Some of the commonly used methods are:

1. Coaching: Trained only Coaching is a one-to-one training. It helps in quickly identifying the weak areas and tries to focus on them. It also offers the benefit of transferring theory learning to practice. The biggest problem is that it perpetrates the existing practices and styles. In India most of the scooter mechanics are through this method. 2. mentoring:

The focus in this training is on the development of attitude. It is used for managerial employees. Mentoring is always done by a senior inside person. It is also one-to- one interaction, like coaching. 3. Job Rotation It is the process of training employees by rotating them through a series of related jobs. Rotation not only makes a person well acquainted with different jobs, but it also alleviates boredom and allows to develop rapport with a number of people. Rotation must be logical 4. Job Instructional Technique (JIT) It is a Step by step (structured) on the job training method in which a suitable trainer (a) prepares a trainee with an overview of the job, its purpose, and the results desired, (b) demonstrates the task or the skill to the trainee, (c) allows the trainee to show the demonstration on his or her own, and (d) follows up to provide feedback and help. The trainees are presented the learning material in written or by learning machines through a series called ‘frames’. This method is a valuable tool for all educators (teachers and trainers). It helps us: a. To deliver step-by-step instruction b. To know when the learner has learned c. To be due diligent (in many work-place environments)

5. Apprenticeship Apprenticeship is a system of training a new generation of practitioners of a skill. This method of training is in vogue in those trades, crafts and technical fields in which a long period is required for gaining proficiency. The trainees serve as apprentices to experts for long periods. They have to work in direct association with and also under the direct supervision of their masters. The object of such training is to make the trainees all-round craftsmen. It is an expensive method of training. Also, there is no guarantee that the trained worker will continue to work in the same organisation after securing training. The apprentices are paid remuneration according the apprenticeship agreements. 6. Understudy: In this method, a superior gives training to a subordinate as his understudy like an assistant to a manager or director (in a film). The subordinate learns through experience and observation by participating in handling day to day problems. Basic purpose is to prepare subordinate for assuming the full responsibilities and duties. B. Off-the-job Training Methods: Off-the-job training methods are conducted in separate from the job environment, study material is supplied, there is full concentration on learning rather than performing, and there is freedom of expression. Important methods include: 1. Lectures and Conferences: Lectures and conferences are the traditional and direct method of instruction. Every training programme starts with lecture and conference. It’s a verbal presentation for a large audience. However, the lectures have to be motivating and creating interest among trainees. The speaker must have considerable depth in the subject. In the colleges and universities, lectures and seminars are the most common methods used for training. 2. Vestibule Training: Vestibule Training is a term for near-the-job training, as it offers access to something new (learning). In vestibule training, the workers are trained in a prototype environment on specific jobs in a special part of the plant.

An attempt is made to create working condition similar to the actual workshop conditions. After training workers in such condition, the trained workers may be put on similar jobs in the actual workshop. This enables the workers to secure training in the best methods to work and to get rid of initial nervousness. During the Second World War II, this method was used to train a large number of workers in a short period of time. It may also be used as a preliminary to on-the job training. Duration ranges from few days to few weeks. It prevents trainees to commit costly mistakes on the actual machines. 3. Simulation exercises: Simulation is any artificial environment exactly similar to the actual situation. There are four basic simulation techniques used for imparting training: management games, case study, role playing, and in-basket training. (a) Management games:

Properly designed games help to ingrain thinking habits, analytical, logical and reasoning capabilities, importance of team work, time management, to make decisions lacking complete information, communication and leadership capabilities. Use of management games can encourage novel, innovative mechanisms for coping with stress. Management games orient a candidate with practical applicability of the subject. These games help to appreciate management concepts in a practical way. Different games are used for training general managers and the middle management and functional heads – executive Games and functional heads. (b) Case Study:

Case studies are complex examples which give an insight into the context of a problem as well as illustrating the main point. Case Studies are trainee centered activities based on topics that demonstrate theoretical concepts in an applied setting. A case study allows the application of theoretical concepts to be demonstrated, thus bridging the gap between theory and practice, encourage active learning, provides an opportunity for the development of key skills such as communication, group working and problem solving, and increases the trainees” enjoyment of the topic and hence their desire to learn.

Four Major Theories of Training and Development Competitive advantage is referred to that ability of an organization which is not possessed by the other organizations and it is a competitive advantage which leads the organization to the top positions. There are many organizations in the world who are leading the markets by gaining competitive advantage in different fields of their business activities. One of the way in which a firm can attain a competitive advantage over the competitors is by building a force of superior human resource. Now the question arises that how this force of superior human resource can be build. The answer lies in a very important function of human resource management i.e. training and development. It has been observed that the employees or labor working in a competitive environment of market always welcome the training and development programs which can enhance their skills and knowledge. Now days every job holder understands that to sustain and grow in the career it is very important to polish their skills. It is not that time where one degree or diploma is sufficient for the whole life. Employees actively participate in several programs which are organized by their organization and it has been observed that in some organization employee’s demand from their human resource department to arrange such training and development programs. Successful organization of today has built their human resource work force over the passage of time. There is no doubt that this work force is a highly valuable asset for any organization and the only possible way to build this workforce is training and development. There are several theories which emphasize on the importance of training and development in the organization and provides different alternative methods for training and development. A discussion of four major theories of training and development is given below.

Theory of Reinforcement This theory emphasizes on the learning behavior of a person and suggests that the learner will repeat that behavior which is attached with a positive outcome or result. Skinner an economist of behaviorist school of thought proposed the theory of reinforcement and suggested that the training and development programs should be aligned with the organizational objectives and a positive outcome should be expected with such training and development programs. Further elaborating this concept suggested in reinforcement theory, it can be argued that there are several techniques available in human resource practices which can be associated with the training and development programs and the required suggestion by this theory can be fulfilled. Different types of rewards in the form of bonuses, salary raises, promotion and awarding of certificate after the training program can be associated with the training and development activities and these rewards will definitely generate a positive outcome. If this is done by an organization then according to the Skinner’s theory of reinforcement the trainer i.e. the employee will show more interest in the training and development programs held by the organization

Theory of Learning Types

The theory presented by Gagne emphasized on learning of intellectual skills. These are such skills which are found rare among the persons. He suggested by different learning types in his theory and each learning type contains some external and internal conditions. The five categories of learning which Gagne defined in his theory include intellectual skills, verbal information, attitudes, cognitive strategies and motor skills Theory of Experiential Learning

Experiential and cognitive types of learning are differentiated by experiential theory of learning presented by C. Rogers. According to Rogers, the wants and needs of the learner are addressed by this type of learning. Experience gives the person a maturity and increases the learning power along with the knowledge. Due to the personal involvement, the learner is able to conduct a self-evaluation test, which allows him to understand the effect of learning on his/her attitude. Theory of Social Learning

Social theory presents a new view of learning i.e. social. According to the presenter of this theory, Albert Bandura, direct reinforcement cannot address all types of learning. Here by direct enforcement means the training and development programs that is organized to enhance the skills. According to this theory such programs are not address all learning types as there are some social elements which cannot be taught. Those elements are learned by the leaner from his/her surroundings. Such type of learning is called observational learning and this learning is associated with the understanding of different human behaviors. The first type of learning defined in this theory is through observation. In an organization the environment and the surroundings plays a very important role. The environment should be very professional and the surroundings should be in such a way that the people (employees) learn from them. This theory also suggests that it is not necessary that the behavior is changed after learning something. It is expected that a person’s behavior changes after learning something, but it is not in all cases. Furthermore the theory also explains about the mental states which play a vital role in learning process. If the mental status of the person is negative regarding any learning activity then he will not take part in that learning process and even if he is forced to do so, he will not gain any positivity from that process. In organizational training programs

the mental state can be made positive regarding the training and development programs by associating the rewards and benefits with such programs which will motivate the employees and help to build a positive mental state. The case company also follow this theory as it allows the employees to learn from the surrounding and provides an environment where they can learn from their supervisors/managers and coworkers.

Opportunities of employment in training and development Opportunities of employment in training and development Governments have traditionally played a significant role in the promotion and development of occupational psychology with regard to training, because of their responsibilities for employment, military, health and other services. People with an occupational psychology background have been employed directly by governments in areas such as job training, military training and health and safety. Government agencies have also been a major sponsor of training research and development; such investment has often provided the major underpinning of developments in this area. Governments can also affect the impetus for change in organisations through legislation, taxation, and the general health of the economy, which in turn can create more disposable income to create new demands for products and services, affect the supply of raw materials and services, or put such pressure on consumers that markets are adversely affected. Also,government initiatives can affect health and safety requirements, fiscal issues, competition laws, and ecological concerns, working with new technology and employment practices. Such changes prompt new ways of organising and delivering these products and services, creating new training needs. The other major source of employment and funding in training and development, where occupational psychology plays a specialist role, is private companies. Specialists might be employed directly within an organisation’s training and development functions or in consultancy offering services to clients. Organisations often employ their own specialist training and development staff who have been recruited from the organisation’s own ranks. Organisations often prefer this approach because they feel it is more appropriate for their training staff to have operational and business experience than for them to be experts in training or occupational psychology. It is often assumed that training is simply a matter of following well established procedures and principles.This is an ill informed view because often training cannot always proceed simply by application of standard methods. It is often necessary to understand variations that have not been

responsive to the standard procedures. This entails understanding how people learn and how training can support this learning. Training and development staff are generally responsible for maintaining company training and development systems, to judge training needs and to organise the delivery of training and development. Practitioners with an occupational psychology background may be encountered in departments concerned with organizational development where they are engaged with the processes of organisational change of which training and development is a part. It is impossible to be more specific than this. Opportunities for occupational psychology specialists to become engaged in training arise in different contexts and circumstances. It is important to remain alert to where these opportunities might occur and be adaptive and constructive in responding to opportunities.

Characteristics of Training Research

Learning and training research Application of occupational psychology to training and development needs to relate this work to the occupational psychology literature in order to understand how this area has developed. Work that emerged from laboratory studies of learning was dominant. This involved examining training principles associated with simpler tasks, such as learning lists or learning to carry out simple judgment tasks that could be said to contain features that are present in real jobs, but at a far simpler level. This reduction ist approach to psychological research is often a cause for concern when we try to apply psychology to practical things.Many learning experiments can be viewed as training experiments. A researcher controls an independent variable that influences the conditions under which an experimental participant is able to learn a task under controlled conditions in the laboratory. From these research findings, the researcher will speculate about the processes underlying learning. But these also provide insights into training methods, because if someone learns something more effectively as a result of a different experimental condition, this experimental condition can, in principle, be offered as a training condition that might be applied in other contexts. However, when we design experiments, we know that research findings are influenced by other features of the experiment in which they are studied. This is why experimental psychologists are careful to design and specify learning conditions carefully and to use control conditions in order to make inferences about what has caused learning and what has not. Unfortunately, this need for careful control of learning conditions also means that it is difficult for us to draw generalizations about learning and training,

because, when applied in a different context, these features may work differently. This is always a problem in applying psychology. Another common approach has been to reduce complex tasks to simpler analogies so that they are easier to study. In this way we might be tempted to assume that the same psychological components apply in these simpler versions as in the more complex version,thus findings that have emerged from studying a simpler, more controllable, version of a task may be applied to the more complex version. Again, simple generalisation is not really justified. When something is simplified, it is easier. When something is studied out of context of a real job, the pressures and complexities of events and the consequences of error are generally missing, so the person’s strategy may be different. Things that have been shown to be beneficial in one context cannot automatically be assumed to benefit a new context this makes for difficulties in applying training research. It means that every time we assert that a particular approach to training is appropriate to that new situation we need to obtain evidence that this is indeed the case just because we think a particular training method is appropriate, it does not mean that it will work in practiceThat every intervention is an experiment is why it is necessary to understand something of scientific method. It is an area where an understanding of occupational psychology is invaluable to the trainer. Unfortunately clients often fail to appreciate the hypothetical nature of training or, indeed, any organisational change and they assume it is possible to deal in certainties. Many consultants reinforce this incorrect view by maintaining they are offering proven solutions,rather than simply working as effectively as they can in a given set of circumstances. While simple application of training and learning research is far from st raigh tforward, a knowledge of principles of learning and training is still useful. Learning research is generally undertaken with a view to developing theories rather than simply accumulating individual findings. As such, learning research is useful to training because it provides important pointers to how learning takes place. This enables us to generate ideas about what a person should experience in order to help them learn.Providing these opportunities for experience is what training actually is. We shall be looking at this again with regard to definitions.

Advantages of training 1. Leads to improved profitability and/or more positive attitudes toward profits orientation. 2. Improves the job knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization.

3. Improves the morale of the workforce. 4. Helps people identify with organizational goals. 5. Helps create a better corporate image. 6. Fasters authentically, openness and trust. 7. Improves the relationship between boss and subordinate. 8. Aids in organizational development. 9. Learns from the trainee. 10. Helps prepare guidelines for work. 11. Aids in understanding and carrying out organizational policies. 12. Provides information for future needs in all areas of the organization. 13. Organization gets more effective decision-making and problem solving. 14. Aids in development for promotion from within. 15.

Development Hamlin observed development as training of future jobs. According to Nadler: development is concerned with providing learning experiences to employees so that they may be ready to

move in new directions that organisational change may require. A limitation of training needs based solely on needs analysis that it fails to address the development issue Development is the need to enhance competencies beyond those required by the immediate job, for example: - Values & ethics of organization & professional group - Sources of enthusiasm

Employee Orientation The first step in training is an employee orientation. Employee orientation is the process used for welcoming a new employee into the organization. The importance of employee orientation is two-fold. First, the goal is for employees to gain an understanding of the company policies and learn how their specific job fits into the big picture. Employee orientation usually involves filling out employee paperwork such as I-9 and 401(k) program forms. The goals of an orientation are as follows:

1.The framework used to help employees develop their personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. 2.The process used for welcoming a new employee into the organization Training and Development. 1.To reduce start-up costs. If an orientation is done right, it can help get the employee up to speed on various policies and procedures, so the employee can start working right away. It can also be a way to ensure all hiring paperwork is filled out correctly, so the employee is paid on time. 2.To reduce anxiety.Starting a new job can be stressful. One goal of an orientation is to reduce the stress and anxiety people feel when going into an unknown situation. 3.To reduce employee turnover. Employee turnover tends to be higher when employees don’t feel valued or are not given the tools to perform. An employee orientation can show that the organization values the employee and provides tools necessary for a successful entry. 4.To save time for the supervisor and coworkers. A well-done orientation makes for a better prepared employee, which means less time having to teach the employee. 5.To set expectations and attitudes.If employees know from the start what the expectations are, they tend to perform better. Likewise, if employees learn the values and attitudes of the

organization from the beginning, there is a higher chance of a successful tenure at the company.Some companies use employee orientation as a way to introduce employees not only to the company policies and procedures but also to the staff. For an example of an orientation schedule for the day.

Importance of Training and Development As organizations evolve their infrastructure and approaches to employee development becomes more established. Whilst employee development vocational programmers and supporting management techniques, tools, procedures and standards, etc, are essential they often introduce organizational rigidity. Also with "maturity" organizations often become too big, have too many management levels and get over complicated. Consequently departments, ftinctions, or divisions, do not interconnect well. The result is decision making becomes unclear, information is poorly communicated, and projects do not get over complicated. Consequently department's functions, or divisions, do not interconnect well. The result is decision making becomes unclear, information is poorly communicated, project does not get finished or late and internal politics creep in, resulting in power based and pressure group becoming established. Ergo organizational paralysis, even chaos, sets in with problems and fiiistration spreading resulting in falling performance. This eventually leads the organizations to become an eco-system that can be difficult to change. Within this general confiisions and with constant organizational change begging a modem necessity the individual's role becomes in clear and difficult to executed even to the point of being meaningless. People ask "Why am I here?", and "I no longer seem to have a purpose, a direction or adequate support". Consequently they either leave or slide into impotence and so the organizations becomes weakened, even unmanageable, certainly organization cease to ftinctions well.The challenge for the organization therefore is to introduce a range of new innovative training and development programmes. Training is the most important technique of human resource development. No organization can get a candidate who exactly matches with the job and the organizational requirements. Hence training is important to develop the employee and make him suitable for the job. Training and development programs are the comer stone of sound management, for it makes employees more effective and productive. When carried out properly, training enables both people and organization to create more opportunities which arises. It is simple fact that the final challenge in making management development acceptable is to demonstrate to senior management that the

organizational benefit far outweigh the cost. Trainers today will probably find themselves working in a range of different operations. They need to understand business and financial concepts if they are to make a full and effective contribution, where they work as an internal trainer or as an external training consultant.

Following are some important aspects of training:

Optimum Development of Human Resource Training and development helps to provide an opportunity and broad structure for the development of human resources' technical and behavioral skills in an organization. It also help the employee in attaining personal growth. Providing training to the personnel increases the skill, knowledge and talent in them. They can make themselves capable of occupying positions at higher levels.

Enhanced Utilization of Human Resources Training and development helps in optimizing the utilization of human resource that fiirther helps the employee to achieve harmony between the organizational goals as well as their individual goals.

Development of Skills Taining and development helps in increasing the job knowledge and skills of employee at each level. It helps to expand the horizons of human intellect and an overall personality of the employees. Training increases the skills of employees and they perform the job better than before.

Increases Productivity Training and development helps in increasing of the employees. Increased performance and productivity, because of training, are most evident on the part of employee who are not yet fully aware of the most efficient and effective ways of performing their jobs .

Creates Team Spirit Training and development helps in including the sense of team work, team spirit, and interteam collaborations. It helps in including the zeal to learn within the employees. Team learning is a process of aligning and developing the capacity of a team to create the results its members truly desire.

Improves Organizational Culture

Training and development helps to develop and improve the organizational health, culture and effectiveness and it also helps in creating a learning culture within the organization.

Improves Organizational Climate Training and development helps in building positive perception and feeling about the organization. The employees get these feelings from leaders, subordinates and peers.

Improves Quality of Work and Life Training and development helps in improving quality of work and life. Quality increases may be in relationship to a company product or service, or in reference to the intangible organizational employment atmosphere .

Improve Health and Safety Training and development helps to improve health and safety of the organization.

Increases Productivity Training and development helps in increasing productivity of the employees. Increased performance and productivity, because of training, are most evident on the part of employee who are not yet fully aware of the most efficient and effective ways of performing their jobs .

Creates Team Spirit Training and development helps in including the sense of team work, team spirit, and interteam collaborations. It helps in including the zeal to learn within the employees.

Creates Healthy Work Environment Training and development helps in creating healthy working environment and it also helps to build good employee relationships so that individual goals align with organizational goals.

Increases Morale and Loyalty Training and development helps in improving the morale and loyalty of the work force. A trained worker's morale increases because of the support and encouragement he gets from seniors at work place.

Enhance Profitability Training and development helps to improve profitability and more positive attitude towards profit orientation. It is better to retain the existing talent than to hire on a continuous basis. it is an established fact that human resources are assets and strategic business tools in an organization to drive corporate performance that provides a distinct competitive advantage motivation is a tonic for the workers. the more you motivate your subordinate, the more productive they become in their work. work becomes enjoyable, challenging, and attains a supreme level through constant motivation. the motivation quotient of the employee seems to have a positive correlation with brand or corporate success employee training programmes becomes the vehicle for getting a common understanding of organizational problems. introduce employee development workshops between hey people. and where corporate information can be shared and acted upon. let employee development programme focus on how teamwork and the status of the can be improved. let the employee development workshop plan the adoption of matrix working. let employee development initiatives cultivate a philosophy that everyone can be improvers not caretakers, that all have an identity and a key role to play, and that everything can be caretakers, that all have an identity and a key role to play, and that everything can be done that little bit better, to the benefit of everyone. let employee development cultivate

recognition of personnel interdependence with an ethics of "treat other as you would like to be traded". modem management development is about encouraging individuality and creativity without loss of team working and organizational cohesion.

Role of Training and Development in Organizational Development In a changed economic set up with fierce competition, training & development Programmes are must; otherwise managerial personnel would become obsolete. David EwingIn his book 'The knowledge of an executive' has rightly said: "The Management personnel must realize that they will not survive unless they keep pace With modem management education, research theory, principles and practices". Various organizations have discovered that whatever leaming an employee embarks On, even outside the workplace for their own satisfaction, has potential benefits for the Organization. Employees are the internal customer of the human resource philosophy Of the company. Any organization committed to its mission and vision captures the Heart and soul of its workforce. Opportunities to leam and grow are powerful Motivators to inspire talented workforce. When work allows employees to use their Minds, acquire new skills, and face situations that enable them to grow, they become Enthusiastic about the work Benefits of training & development to the Organization are as under Leads to improved profitability and/ or more positive attitudes towards profit orientation.

The Training Process

Earlier the function of training was very simple - a person selected by an organization was trained so that he fitted into the job he was appointed for and employers start extracting the services of the employee. This was primitive concept of training. With the changes in values and many other factors, the trend has changed. Training is viewed as an ongoing lifelong cyclical process. Training process is an integral part of human resources management and organization. Outline the inter-related steps in training process given by Bhatia as below. 1.Organizational vision and perspective plans 2.Assessment of training needs 3.Setting training objectives 4.Designing a training programme 5.Implementation of training programme 6. Evaluation of training programme

1.Organization Vision and Perspective Plans: The initial step in the training process is linking the organizations vision, mission, strategies and objectives (overall and division-wise for thrust). Training activities have to contribute to the corporate foals by increasing the effectiveness of work being carried out in particular parts. The contribution can be seen to have two main aspects:

a) Achieving the immediate nee related to organizations strategic problems. b) Training to be based on long-term plan and to preparing employees for new challenges (futuristic need) of the people and the organization. Training fiinction has to play proactive role even towards strategic direction of the organization by designing and implementing in creative way training programmes which move people in that direction

2.Assessment of Training Needs:

Knowledge, skills and attitudes are the three criteria around which all job are based. A training need is a gap between the knowledge, skills and attitudes desired and already possessed by the employees. An individual needs training when his performance falls short of standards, i.e. when there is performance deficiency. Inadequacy in performance may be due to lack of skill or knowledge or any other problem, e.g. uninspiring supervision or some personal problem of the employee. The problem of performance deficiency caused by absence of skills or knowledge or attitude can be remedied by a proper training. a) Whether Training is needed? Three major arrears in which staff display such gaps, i.e. they don't meet The job requirements. There are: • when their performance in their present position does not match up to the required standards, • when the requirement of the job changes due to the changing circumstances, and • when the present job ceases to exist or the job holders changes jobs, therefore creating new 'gaps' in the newjob.

b)Future Needs: The following future needs will force the company to train, or retrain its employees: Expansion. Reorganization. New Methods. New Equipment. New Products. Retirements. Promotion. Seasonal Variations. Change in Layout. Special Jobs. Changes in Manning Levels. Attritions. • Organization Culture. • Organization Development.

c) Existing Problems Training need is also indicated from such problems existing in the organization: • Standards of work performance not being met; • Accidents; • Excessive scrap; incidence of errors or faults in job are high; • Frequent need for equipment repair; • High rate of transfer and turnover; • Too many low ratings on employee evaluation reports; • Many people using different methods to do the same job; • Excessive fatigue, fumbling, struggling with the job; • Bottlenecks and deadlines not being met.

3.Setting Training Objectives After assessing training needs for the organization, training and development objectives are to be established. Objective can help in measuring the training program's effectiveness. Objectives of training program should be tangible and measureable. The objectives of training provide the following: 1.A record of condition that exist prior to the training. 2.A basis for evaluation of training. Training objectives are of great significance to the number of stakeholder perspectives; 1.Trainers - Training objectives help the trainer to measure progress of trainee and make appropriate adjustments for improvement. 2.Trainees - Training objectives are beneficial to the trainee because it helps in reducing the anxiety of the trainee up to some extent. It helps in increase in concentration, which is crucial factor to make training successfiil. 3.Designer - Training objective is allows designer to translate the training needs into training outcome. It also helps in development of better training plan. 4.Evaluator - It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of the trainees because he knows the expected outcome of that training program.

5Designing a Training Programme Designing training program denotes the strategy and planning through which training program could be conducted effectively. Designing of a training program should consider following contents careflilly-

1.Statement of obj ectives 2.Choice of participants 3.The place of training 4.Duration of training program 5.Pace of the training program 6. The level of instruction 7.Choice of training technique 8. The need of feedback 5. Implementation of Training Programme

Conducting a training program requires considerable effort and coordination. Implementation involves a series of activities, through which training managers bring the course to learners in accordance with approved design. It involves scheduling of courses, faculties, equipments, service providers, classroom support etc. For effective implementation of the training program following factors are important-

1.The trainer : The choice of faculty is important to the success of training program. Trainer must have specialized knowledge on the subject and his experience and skills to be reflected in handling working sessions.

2.The trainees : The trainees should be form fairly homogenous group with respect to experience, knowledge, and potential for learning so as to avoid disparity in the group. 3.Curriculum : It should be relevant to trainer's level and job to be performed. 4.Training material: Learning material has to designed with great care. It should be properly indexed and even distributed in advance. 5.Methods and Techniques : Methods and Techniques of instruction are important as they are responsible to maintain interest and participation of trainee in the training. 6. Duration of training : Duration of a training program generally depends upon skills to acquired and the learning capacity of the trainee. Effective use of visual aids can reduce training duration significantly.

7.Location : Training managers can decide venue of training depend upon the availability of funds and resources. 6. Evaluation of training programme The last stage in the training and development process is the evaluation of results. Since the huge money and resources are spent on training and development programs, how far the program has been useful must be judged. Training evaluation is an activity aimed to determine effectiveness of training program in terms of achievement of objective of training program. Evaluation of training program also provides useful information about the design of future training programs. Training evaluation can bemade during three periods, namely, before the training, during the training, and after the completion of training. Evaluation is needed for the following reasons:

1.To make the training program more effective : Through evaluation we can examine the various methods of teaching, content of lessons, training environment etc. 2.It is used as training aid : Once an evaluation is made, it becomes a full proof method of a training program, which will be useful for subsequent training program. 3.To verify whether goals are achieved against targets : Every training program as well as organizations fixes goals for the training program. Outcome of training program should be compared with objectives to measure success of the training program. 4.Cost effectiveness achieved or not : The money spent on the training program must be fruitful and useful in terms of producing efficiency, improvement in work, new procedures etc. 5.To find useful to the individual and organization : A training evaluation pave the way for effective utilization thereby resulting in benefits to the organization as well as to the individuals

New Concepts in Training and Development

Traditional management training is concerned with examining the fundamental principles and practice of management. These management training courses remain very important but management training is now becoming more convened with the learning needs of people within an organization, HR management issues, change management, finical accountability, strategy, technology e.g. e-Commerce, etc. Fundamentals of management training are : 1.Organization planning and role/Process analysis.

2.Coordinating plans and setting objectives. 3.Management control information. 4.The management process, organization and communications. 5.Power and authority in the process. 6. Leadership styles and its effects on culture and productivity. 7.Expectations of people in organizations. 8. Social structures and work groups. 9. Participative management.

Today, management training programs are less concerned with vocational awareness and more concerned with business awareness and continuous improvement.whybecaus supervisor and junior management training programmes have successfully developed departmental resources that are well able to manage day-to-day operations. Therefore the key challenge for middle management training is in developing the skills needed to lead empowered individuals, and teams, in the journey to make the organizations vision and values a reality. This means that middle management training needs to focus on environmental management issues, across the process chain, between organizational units and transcending organizational levels, and through effective working relationships with the organizational strategic partners. It is therefore imperative that management training programmes focus on leadership and change management techniques to foster the attitudes, behaviors and skills necessary to break down and overcome barriers and constraints. Management training also needs to develop management ability to cope with organizational metamorphosis, unitization, flatter structures, change in power bases, etc.with e-commerce, and other high-tech influences, the paradox is it has never been more easier to realize excellence but potentially it has never been more harder to find the management time needed to develop new management skills, or utilize them, in the pursuit of excellence. This then is the challenge facing management training. Training consultants must stress the importance of working in conjunction with your internal facilitators in the formulation of management training strategies and supporting management laining programmes. This could evolve in better middle management training programmes for the employees. For management training to create a learning culture the management training programme must focus on developing greater awareness and understanding of motivation, expectations and behavior of people at work, prior to examining the learning process and how to relate learning to needs and the effective application in work. These management training courses could consider:

1.Role analysis and competence & capability assessment. 2.Performance appraisal-the instrument for organizational development. 3.Identifying organization and junior management training needs. 4.Designing management training opportunities for individual career expectations. 5.Motivation theories and their impact upon organizational culture. 6. Leadership, behavior characteristics and attitudes. 7.Leadership process-Difference between junior and middle management training. 8. Use of learning in styles for effective management training. 9. Self management training thought experiential learning methods. 10.Barriers and blockages to management training and organization development. 11.Learning method and management training techniques. 12.Communication skills including advising, influencing, counseling, coaching, mentoring, consulting and presenting. 13.Validating and evaluating, management training and learning applications. Lynton and Pareek"" have suggested some new concepts to make training more effective and useful to the organization.

Role of Training and Development in Enriching Human Resource. Training is a very important activity for organizational development. Modem organizations cannot survive without appropriate training inputs to their employee Training as a management development activity has multiple advantages which can be listed as under: 1.Enhance speed of learning new skills Training as input helps employee to enhance their ability, new knowledge, concepts, and skills. Hands on technology can be improved with the help of training. Formal training programme often helps to understand concept and skills in more efficient marmer. The employees need not learn by observing others. 2.Systematic Development Training is a rational and systemic approach to learn and develop a mindset. It helps to improve work procedures and work culture. Activities can be well

defined and can be performed systematic manner which reduces errors and mistakes at workplace and enhance the performance level of the employee while performing the job. 3.Enhancement of Efficiency and Economy Of Operations Rightly defined training programme helps to change attitude and mindset of workers. A highly awakened employee can be developed through training programme. This reduces loss of resources and hence resulting in improving level of efficiency of employee.Reduction in wastage thus helps to avail advantages of economy of operations. 4.To Boost up Employee Moral There is a invisible relation between productivity, moral and skills. Naturally when the skills are developed, ability of employee is also enhanced which make him highly motivated and committed towards organizational cause. Proper training generates better cooperation among employees and loyalty towards organization. This in turn improves employee's moral level. The synergic effect of which is enhancement of productivity. 5.Reduction in level of Supervision Trained and skilled employees are self motivated. They perform their job with due verge and enthusiasm. The numbers of mistakes are minimized and thus the need for floor level supervision can be minimized. 6.Succession Planning and Managerial Development Trained employees are able to accept new responsibilities and assignment. Internal development of leadership is long time exercise. Succession planning and development of employee to become to conceptual managers is possible through systematic training and development programme. Organizations at large are also benefitted because of training and development activities. There are many invisible and visible advantages because of systematic training. A few important points are presented here. 1.Ability to accept New Challenges. Organizations with trained employee often develop a high level collective competence which let them to accept new challenges. 2.Ability to meet Environmental changes and Crisis. Organization with well developed employee and trained staff easily bring out change in their work system and procedures. They can acquire and adopt to new challenging situations. Crisis can be resolved with help of trained employee. 3.Develop Organizational loyalty and Commitment. Trained employees are more committed to organization. They prefer to work in a conducive andhealthy work climate. In many cases, personality clashes and interpersonal hindrances can be removed through development of attitude.

4.Enhances Earning Capacity. Organization having trained employee can improve their productivity, turnover and performance. This adds to their revenue and profits. 5.Reduces Risks, Losses and Accidents Trained employee are often more cautiousand do not accept unnecessary risk. Trained workers operate the machines safely. They perform work in more delight and systemic manner which reduces risk, accidents and wastages. Thus employee develops a safety network. 6.Systematic Career Development. Most important advantage of training is planned succession and career development. Training not only improves skills and ability but develop potential leaders. Automatically career development of employee becomes a systematic activity where a every employee is assured of appropriate promotions and upword mobility. It can be concluded that in light of several benefits, training is an important activity, which should be taken very seriously by the employees as well as the employers

Training as a Tool of Development training is an important tool in the wholesome strategy for development. a part from the organization, imparted training creates additional capabilities in the employees to do the job better and with more confidence. his sharpened skills directly contribute to his expertise and career progression in the organization. the training result in clearer thinking on the part of the part of the employee and minimizes interruptions in his own work cycle as also of others. however, the history of training has revealed different patterns. in the nineteenth century, the concept of training was based on observation work guidance pattern. the educational qualifications played the secondary role and was not considered basic criterion for employment. faith and loyalty were the foremost considerations. the person was employed and was asked to observe the activities of his seniors and under his watchful eye was asked to initiate action by copying or imitating and was give on-the job guidance in case of need by pointing out the shortcomings and by mild punishments. with the advent of the industrial revolution, education and qualifications are now given prime importance. prospective employees are short listed, identified, put to some kind of test before recruiting them and are given training before giving them an opportunity to take up any activity for which either he had some basic skills or capabilities and which could be further enriched by training. it is much later that the concept norms, given exposure relating to the expected job both in theory and practice.

in other words, the process has graduated from pure managerial focus to developmental focus. now, organizations are developing different approaches, which are significantly different from one another. some organizations have formulated detailed human resource policies, which are proactive as far as the staff in the organization is concerned. the organization have management policies basically oriented towards customers and their own future role so much so that at points of time they look insensitive to the staff/workers of theorganization as they basically treat human resource as a part of their normal activity. still some organization has followed policies, which transform the organizational progress continuously and innovative steps to provide best customer service through well prepared and equipped staff obviously, such organization will have a benevolent approach towards its human resource both in the individual well being as also organizational placement, enhancement of skills and capabilities and enabling them to work with a mentor for his long term career progression. the training & development in today's changing business environment is becoming more & more dynamic. the core function of any training department is to bridge the gap between the changing requirements of the job & the abilities that individuals need to perform these tasks such as self-directed leadership, self-motivated terms & self generated creativity to excel in their respective areas of performance.

CHAPTER 4 1.4 FINDING 1.5 SUGGESION 1.6 CONCLUSION 1.7 BIBLIOGRAPHY

1.4FINDING 1. The most preferred method of training - On the job training

2. A T&D program is successful when it meets all the stated objectives with competent faculties & useful resources that make the learning easy 3. The T&D program helps in the faster growth rate of employees in the organization by improving the productivity level and strengthening areas where an employee lags. 4. The success of a T&D program depends on the amount of transfer of training - i.e. how far the employee could brings the learning ( from the T&D program) back into the job. 5. The motivation obtained from the T&D program impacts the productivity and thus the success of a T&D program. 6. Job commitments and pressure from superiors are a major factor in attending a T&D program. 7. The common human psychology of human beings preferring / inclining towards newer and innovative things and events are applicable to the T&D program as well - factors like new innovations and technology and the opportunity to interact with other participants (which are different from the routinely schedule) facilities the employees' mindset to attend the T&D program. 8. Payoff and ROI for the T&D program is not calculated, although there is always a training budget

1.5 SUGGESTION Based on the findings some suggestions are given to the company and to the employees. Greater awareness about the objectives of the training and development programme must be created among the trainees at the time of their nomination for the training so that it helps the trainee easily understand and attain the objectives and goals of the programme. Employees must be motivated to take up Training Programmes regularly to update their skills and learn new technique to perform their work effectively and efficiently. Objectives of the training programme must be in line with the need of the trainees and must be clearly explained to them and so that they can be easily attained. Training Programme must be conducted at frequent intervals to help the workers update with new technologies and improve their performance. Superior Quality of training materials and training aids provided to the trainee will increased their involvement and participation for the training which in turn help in their performances, effective communicates and to enhance good relationship among co-workers. Trainers must extend their personal care and concern to create a friendly atmosphere and always be ready to help the trainees in difficult situation.  Organization must take efforts to see that trainees are provided with the best of facilities bringing in new improvement with every training programme.  More importance should be given to audio visual training programmes. 

Training need assessment process should be un biased and to be made transparent, based on an actual need.  There should be closed interaction of the training catalyst and the trainees in a periodical interval so as to make the training inputs more effective.  Entertainment Programme should undertake during training periods in order to reduce monotony of the trainees.  Faculty Member from outside the company should be brought for specialized programmes.  Duration of the sessions could be extended and training related with the new machinery, techniques and methods of operation could be concentrated more.  Merit awards and prizes, will encouraged the trainee and make him participate with satisfaction.  The trainers role is the core for the success of the training programmes the faculty whether internal are external should be an exact qualified person. Hence the suggestion from the trainer prior to the conduct of the training programmes must be taken.  The company has to concentrate more on training for workers than for supervisors and executive.  The preferences of employees regarding teaching methods should be collected and followed during the course.  Training Programme must be given importance according to the expectations of the employees.  Appropriate planning and execution of the training programme will help to

increase the effectiveness of training.  The Proof of the pudding lies in the eating, so too, the proof of training lies in its effectiveness. The impact of training is almost as important as the training itself which helps in the success of the organization.  Organizations need to draw up a training policy that guides the training department and the rest of the organization on how to conduct training and its evaluation.  The organization should consistently apply strategies for the evaluation of training and development initiatives. That is the organization becomes a learning one in which training and development become critical components of efficiency and effectiveness and that a performance management system be incorporated into the training strategy.  A comprehensive and supportive culture, leadership, creation of a learning organization and effective performance management system should be established and maintained for the effective evaluation of training and development initiatives aimed at improving individual, team and organizational performance.  Employees should take training more seriously for the individual development as well as the development of the organization.  Employees should develop positive attitude on training.  Employees need to consult their superiors before attending the training programme to clarify their doubts.
