EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES IN CCL INTRODUCTION Training and development refer to the imparting of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. It is an attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training and development is determined by the employee’s performance deficiency, computed as follows: Training and standard – Actual development need performance. Successful candidates placed on this job need training and perform their duties effectively. Workers must be trained to operate machines, reduce scrap and avoid accidents. Supervisors, managers and executives also need to be developed in order to enable them to grow and acquire maturity of thought and action. Training and development constitute an ongoing process in any organisation. Whenever there is a gap between the actual performance and whatever is needed i.e. the standard, productivity suffers. Training can reduce, if not eliminate this gap. It does so by changing the behaviour of individuals by giving them what additional specific items of knowledge, skill or attitude they need to perform up to that standard. Emphasis has been laid on the training and development of employees with a view to productivity contributes to the growth and performance of the organisation. The revised training system aims to optimally utilize various agencies of training instruments, in an effort to transforming the company into a learning organisation.
Training shall include a training programme, seminar convention, or any other structured learning or developmental programme based on training need analysis. Human Resource development is growing steadily in size, outreach and impact. Increasingly, the HRD professional is recognised as a prime contributor to organisational effectiveness and individual satisfaction productivity. HRD aims at securing commitment of the employees and building competence in them. For building up a team of dedicated and committed employees, a strong and supportive open culture exist where performance is duly recognized. Any training and development programme must contain inputs, which enable the participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look into the distant future. In addition to these, there is a need to impart ethical orientation emphasizes on attitudinal changes and stress upon decision making and problem solving abilities. There is greater stability, flexibility and capacity for growth in an organisation. Employees become efficient after undergoing training. Efficient employees contribute to the growth of the organisation. Training makes the employees versatile in operations. Well-trained employees can contribute to the prosperity of an enterprise. Accidents, scrap and damage to machinery and equipment can be avoided or minimised through training. Even dissatisfaction, complaints, absenteeism and turnover can be reduced if employees are trained well. Future needs of employers will be met through training and development programmes.
Training serves as an effective source of recruitment. Training is an investment in human resources with a promise and it serves as an effective source of recruitment. Training is an investment in HR with a promise of better returns in future.

Ans. 14. When the respondent were asked that what barriers you have been experienced while implementing your training knowledge in real working situation.
Mostly employees said that generally they are not given a chance to implement new skills
Binding to follow laid down rules & procedure of the company.
Since the existing training system is not such that any new knowledge is imparted, hence application of the some does not arise.
Lack of practical experience.
Organisation structure and its complexity.
CONCLUSIONS
Once training needs are assessed, training and development goals must be established. Without clearly set goals, it is not possible to design a training and development programme and after it has been implemented, there will be no way of measuring its effectiveness.
We have taken five parameters to give our project topic a finishing touch:
Post training satisfaction
Enhancement of knowledge and skill
Empowerment of the employees
Efficiency of performance
Alignment of individual and organisational growth
Post Training Satisfaction
In general most of respondents were satisfied with the training provided. They believe training is the doorway to greater performance. It does ensure value addition to the overall business process. The respondents who were not satisfied with the training were emphasizing on not getting chance to implement their knowledge in their working condition / situation. Training can never be a success without a positive mind frame. The trainees should be prepared to involve themselves wholly for the training because this will not only set the organisation banner fly high but will also makes the employee be a part of the success. Thus training is a learning experience.
Enhancement of knowledge and skill Training does ensure enhancement of knowledge and skill. Our research unfolds the fact that CCL provides training only to the executives and not to the subordinates, which is very important to enhance their knowledge and skill. Those who have received such training are thus satisfied leaving others at a loss. Thus each employee should get adequate chance to explore his own ability. These training course are a major platform to exhibit their dormant talents and skills. The organisation’s significant achievement should be building up of a strong corporate culture and a committed team of power professionals. Empowerment of the employees The training system helps each individual to carry out his task with dedication and commitment. It also helps in an effective co-ordination between two departments in communicate in the organisation, helping in better working condition. When we asked the respondents, whether they are getting any mental satisfaction through these training programmes, about 75% of the sample size were agreeing to it and thus it implies that. It is beneficial for the employees for their individual and organisational growth. When an individual is able to take and make decisions in the course of his work, he is an independent person and an empowered one. Efficiency in performance
Training is needed by any organisation that wants to grow continuously. In the fast changing environment organisation can scale new heights only through the effective and efficient use of HR. The employees are encouraged to take risks, experiment, innovate and make things happen in an atmosphere of mutual trust, goodwill and cooperation. The barriers which were faced by the employees were:
Generally the do not get chance to implement their training skill in their work life.
The rules and regulations framed by the company do not allow to grow ahead with the knowledge and skill gained by the employees during the training session.
Generally they have lack of equipment, knowledge & skill, thus effective implementation in real terms becomes difficult.
Most of the employees are unskilled and thus those in the upper level (executives) are not able to frame a good co-ordination between themselves, thus lacking co-operation which leads to adverse effect on the work in the organisation.
Thus training helps to perform task of higher degree and quality. For this there has to be continuous development of competencies in people, without this the organisation may fail to achieve its goals. Assignment of individual and organisational growth Majority have agreed to this, they feel training is beneficial for the individual because here his contribution alone can lead his organisation. The choice is in his hands.
Training helps to acquire or sharpen capabilities required to perform various functions associated with their present or expected future roles. The training system focuses on learning. To be effective, training is conducted in a systematic way backed up by careful needs assessment, solid programme design and thorough evaluation of results. Training helps in tapping hidden qualities in people in order to make them accomplish new functions leading to organisational and individual goals.
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Issue and revise training policy and practices.
The training department should select the right person for the training and especially when there is a need for it. Most of the employees feel that the training given to them is not sufficient and satisfactory hence CCL should provide for training that is truly beneficial to the employees.
There should be availability of good trainers. This is one area over which the employees are once again dissatisfied. They hold the opinion that inspite of them attending the training programmes, yet they are unable to give their best to the organisation.
Programmes should be given more thrust on human needs and aspiration. They should be more need based. There must be an employee attitude analysis system and accordingly training needs are to be set as per the individual’s job requirement.
Being in technology business there should be availability of good inputs like international renowned manuals through which employees are made aware of the latest happenings in relation to their work.
Training other than work related should be imparted on attitude, motivation, change management because many feel it uneasy to accept a different work methodology after having received training.
Ensure that the management commits itself to allocate major resources and adequate time to training.
Ensure that training contribute to competitive strategies of the firm. Different strategies need different HR skills for implementation training helps employees at all levels acquire the needed skills.
Ensure that a comprehensive and systematic approach to training exists and training and retraining are done at all levels on a continuous and on going basis.
Ensure that there is proper linkage among organisation.
Create a system to evaluate the effectiveness of training.
LIMITATIONS
The time available for research was insufficient
The analysis of data may not be sufficiently adequate to reveal the significance of the training system.
There was insufficient interaction with the employees because of the time limitation.
Some of the employees were reluctant to give adequate and accurate response.
