Objective: The objective of our research project is to know the importance of training in companies and to know how training lead to the productivity and efficiency of the managers.
Executive summary: We have conducted our research on “Training programmed conducted by companies for the middle level management”. We have used questionnaire and secondary data as a tool. Our sample size is 10 companies selected through judgment sampling and conducted door-to-door and telephone survey. By evaluating primary data we came across that all selected companies has given prime importance to training and it has definitely enhanced the performance of their middle managers and ultimately the companies had been the most beneficiary. They are conducting trainings through different methods and mostly their budget is above 1 lakh. Thus this gives us the idea that training is one of the most basic and important need of the companies.

Secondary data: MIDDLE MANAGEMENT:
The role of the middle manager has become all the more crucial simply because they are the liaison between the frontline staff and senior management.
If top management is described as “thinkers,” then middle management represents the “doers.”
They have the capability to make or break the company as they harness the potential of the entire staff in their effort to achieve organizational goals.

Conclusion
By evaluating our Primary data, we can say that most of the companies identify their training needs based on the competencies required for the particular job and project, and also some companies analyze through “Performance Appraisal System”.
All companies had their planned training schedule and their time interval of training was basically monthly or quarterly, but it was not certainly fixed, it changed according to need and time availability.
Page 15 of 20
The 2 most important training which all companies focused were Technical and Soft Skill Training.
Mostly all companies conducted training through Seminars, Conference (discussion), Workshop, and also some companies used video-conferencing and online as one of their mode and some companies were planning for the same.
They evaluated their training by evaluating the enhanced performance and improvement in their middle management and also ultimately how it was beneficial for their organization at whole. About 80% of companies has their annual budget above 1,00,000 lakh and some companies budget was around 10,00,000 lakhs.
Thus by obtaining this valuable information, we can certainly say that training is one of most fundamental, significant and vital need of the companies to achieve and maintain their set goals and to remain up-to-date with the market needs and to maintain their position in this competitive market environment.
