Introduction To Training & Development


5/64

Training is process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the application

of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their

behaviors. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them

for an intended job.

Need for training :

Specifically, the need for training arises due to the following reasons: To match the

employee specifications with the Job requirements and organizational Needs:

Management finds deviations between employees present specifications and the job

requirements and organizational needs. Training is needed to fill these gaps by

developing and molding the employee skills, knowledge, attitude, behavior, etc to the

tune of the job requirements and organizational needs as felt Glaxo India, ICICIOrganizational Viability and the Transformation Process: The primary goal of most of the

organizations is that their viability is continuously influenced by environmental pressure.

If the organization desires to adapt to these changes, first it has to train the employees to

impart specific skills and knowledge in order to enable them to contribute to

organizational efficiency and to cope with training in order to ensure a smooth

transformation process.

Technological Advance: Every organization to survive and to be effective should adoptthe latest technology i.e. mechanization, computerization and automation. So, the

organization should train the employees train the employees to enrich them in the areas

of changing technical skills and knowledge from time to time.

Organizational Complexity: With the emergence of increased mechanization and

automation, manufacturing of multiple products and by-products or dealing in services of

diversified lines, extension of operations to various regions of the country or in overseas

countries, organization of most of the companies has become complex: This creates the

complex problems of co-ordination and integration of activities adaptable for and

adaptable to the expanding and diversifying situations. This situation calls for training in

the skills of co-ordination, integration and adaptability to the requirements of growth,

diversification and expansion.


6/64

Human relations: Trends in approach towards personnel management has changed from

the commodity approach to partnership approach, crossing the human relations besides

maintaining sound industrial relations although hitherto the managers are not accustomed

to deal with the workers accordingly. Training in human relations is necessary to deal

with human problems.

Change in the job assignment: Training is also necessary when the existing employee is

promoted to the higher level in the organization and when there is some new job or

occupation due to transfer. Training is also necessary to equip employees with advanced

displaces, techniques or technology. Training also becomes essential when an

organization has plans for modernization.

The need for training also arises to: Increased Productivity.

Improved quality of the product/service.

Help a company to fulfill its future personnel needs.

Improved organizational climate.

Improved health and safety.

Prevent obsolescence.

Effect personal growth.

Minimize the resistance to change and

To act as mentor.

Training objectives


7/64

The personnel manager formulates the following training objectives in keeping with the

companys goals and objectives:

To prepare the employees, both new and old to meet the present as well as the

changing requirement6s of the job and the organization.

To prevent obsolescence.

To impart the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for an

intelligent performance of a definite job.

To prepare employees for higher-level tasks.

To assist employees to function more effectively in their present positions by

exposing them to the latest concepts, information and techniques and developing

the skills they will need in their particular fields.

To build up a second line of competent officers and prepare them top occupy

more responsible positions.

To broaden the minds of senior managers by providing them with opportunities

for an interchange of experiences within and outside with a view to correcting the

narrown3ess of outlook that may arise from over-specialization.

To develop the potentialities of people for the next level job.

To ensure smooth and efficient working of a department.

To ensure economical output of required quality.

To promote individual and collective morale, a sense of responsibility, co-

operative attitudes and good relationships

Introduction to HRM


8/64

Need for the Study :

Shortage of skills.

Skills and knowledge people are always on short supply. Alternatively they are too costly

to hire from outside. The best alternative is to improve skill and knowledge of existing

employees.

Technological Obsolescence.

Growth of technology takes places very fast. This will render current technology obsolete

in the future. There is a great need to upgrade technology. This needs suitable training.

Personal Obsolescence.

At the time recruitment employees possess certain of knowledge and skill. As time passes

knowledge becomes obsolete, unless it is updated by proper training. This happens

because of changes taking place in product technology, production methods, procurement

of better machines, setting up of modern production lines, introduction of modern method

of supervision and information processing through MIS and EDO..

Organization Obsolescence.

Modern management has introduced a number of innovative steps in functions of

management like planning, organizing, controlling, coordinating and directing.

Organization which is impervious to such changes is bound to fail and become obsolete. Upgrading Ability of Threshold workers.

Public policy provides reservation to disadvantaged sections of the society like

handicapped, minorities and dependents of deceased workers etc. All these are threshold

workers having less than minimum prescribed level of knowledge and skill. They require

extensive training to bring them up to the minimum level of performance standard.

Coercive training by government.In order to provide better employability chances of unemployed youth, certain

governments taken initiative to mobilize resources available at pubic/government and

private sectors to outside candidates. One such example is the Apprentice Training

conducted by govt. of India. A part of expenditure incurred for this by private sectors are

reimbursed by government.


9/64

Human capital

The latest thinking is to treat employees as human capital. The expenditure involved is

training and developments are now being considered as an investment.

Environmental Influences on HRM: Since 1930s, certain developments took place,

which greatly contributed, to the evolution and growth of Human Resources Management

(HRM). These developments are given below:

Scientific Management

Labour Movements

Government Regulations.

Evolution of HRM

Personnel functions: Till 1930s, it was not felt necessary to have a separate discipline

of management called Personnel management. In fact, this job was assigned as part of

the factory manager. Adam Smiths concept of factory was that it consists of three

resources, land, labour and capital. This factory manager is expected to procure,

Process and peddle labour as one of the resources. The first time when such a specialist

person was used; it was to maintain a buffer between employer and employee to

meet the legitimate need of employees. However, it is the employer who decided what

is legitimate need of employees. In fact, the specialist person was more needed toprevent unionization of employees. This was the case before 1930-s all over the world.

Earlier references: In western countries HRM had its primitive beginning in 1930s. Not

much thought was given on this subject in particular and no written records or documents

interesting to note HRM concepts was available, in ancient philosophies of Greek, Indian

and Chinese. This is not to suggest that industrial establishment and factories system, as it

is known today, existed in ancient Greece, India or china. The philosophy of managing.

.

BACKGROUND SCENARIO TRAINING


10/64

William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could retain their jobs by

working at a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His research led him to believe that if

these same employees were properly motivated, they could work at 80-90% of their

capabilities. Behavioral science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity

could well be used for such improvements in employee output. Training could be one of

the means used to achieve such improvements through the effective and efficient use of

learning resources.

Training and development has been considered an integral part of any organization

since the industrial revolution era. From training imparted to improve mass production to

now training employees on soft skills and attitudinal change, training industry has come a

long way today. In fact most training companies are expecting the market to double bythe year 2007, which just means that the Indian training industry seems to have come of

age.

Organization and individual should develop and progress simultaneously for the their

survival and attainment of mutual goals. So, every modern management has to develop

the organization through human resource development. Employee training is the most

important sub-system of human resources development. Training is a specialized functionand one of the fundamental operative functions for human resources management.

The market is unofficially estimated to be anywhere between Rs 3000 crores and Rs

6000 crores. What is surprising is that the Indian companies. Perception regarding

corporate training seems to have undergone a sea-change in the past two years, with most

companies realizing it to be an integral part of enhancing productivity of its personnel.

While MNC.s with their global standards of training are the harbingers of corporate

training culture in India, the bug seems to have bitten most companies aiming at

increasing their efficiency.

According to Ms Pallavi Jha, Managing Director, Walchand Capital and Dale Carnegi

Training India, "The Indian training industry is estimated at approximately Rs 3,000


11/64

crores per annum. The NFO study states that over a third of this is in the area of behavior

and soft skills development. With the exponential boom in the services sector and the

emergence of a full-fledged consumer-driven market, human resources have become the

key assets, which organizations cannot ignore. With soft skills training gaining so much

momentum, it.s imperative to understand if it serving the right purpose or not. With this

background, I plan to research if training indeed is proving to be effective in the

behavioral area.

The following steps must form the basis of any training activity:

Determine the training needs and objectives.

Translate them into programs that meet the needs of the selected trainees.

Evaluate the results.

There are few generalizations about training that can help the practitioner. Training

should be seen as a long term investment in human resources using the equation given

below:

Performance = ability (x) motivation

Training can have an impact on both these factors. It can heighten the skills and abilities

of the employees and their motivation by increasing their sense of commitment andencouraging them to develop and use new skills. It is a powerful tool that can have a

major impact on both employee productivity and morale, if properly used.

Scope of Human Resource Management


12/64

The Scope of HRM is in deed fast. All major activities in the working life of

worker from time of his entry in an organization until he / she leaves, come under the

preview of HRM. Specifically, the activities included are Human Resource planning, Job

analysis and design, Recruitment, Selection, Orientation and placement, Training and

development, Performance appraisal and Job evaluation, employee and executive

remuneration and communication, employee welfare, safety and health, industrial

relations and the like.

HRM is becoming a specialized branch giving rise to a number of specialized areas like :

Staffing

Welfare and Safety

Wages and Salary Administration

Training and Development

Labour Relations

Objectives of the HRM are to secure the following: -

1. Industrial peace: This is secured by excellent union management relations, healthy

inter-personal relationships, and promoting participative management style and good

industrial and labour relations.

2. Achieve High Productivity: The underlying objective brings to increase the quantityor volume of the product or service for a given input, productivity improvement

programme is very significant in a competitive environment.

3. Better quality of working life of employees: This involves both intrinsic and extrinsic

factors connected with work.

4. Obtain and sustain competitive advantage through empowerment : continuous

improvement and innovative steps being the two essential ingredients to achieve and

sustain competitive advantage, todays industriesare knowledge based and skill intensive.

5. Cordial relationship between the employer and employees.

6. Personnel research functions.

7. Proper orientation and introduction to the new employees.

What is Training?

Training is the act of increasing the knowledge of an employee for doing a

particular job. -Edwin B Flippo

Training is process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the application

of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their

behaviors. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them

for an intended job.

What is Development?

Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities which improve

job performance but also those which bring about growth of the personality.

Training a person for a bigger and higher job is development, this process includes

not only imparting skills but also certain mental and personality attributes.

Need for training :

Specifically, the need for training arises due to the following reasons: To

match the employee specifications with the Job requirements andorganizational Needs: Management finds deviations between employees

Classification of Training


16/64

There are a number of training methods available. Use of particular methods depends on

the trainees viz., worker, supervisor, and manager. Basically these methods can be

classified into following broad categories: On the job training

Off the job training

In regard to employees, other than managers (executives following are the methods of

training:

On the job training

1. Apprenticeship training.2. Job instruction training (JIT).

Off the job training

1.Class room lectures.

2. Conferences/seminars.

3. Group discussions/case study analysis.

4. Audio visual/film shows.

5. Simulation/Computer modeling.

6. Vestibule training.

7. Programmed instructions (PI).

8. Games and Role-playing.

On The Job Training:

Apprenticeship Training:Skilled worker and apprenticeship training. The duration of the course/training depends

on the nature of trade and desired skill level. Apprenticeship training is normally given to

artisans, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers and the like. The duration normally varies

from 2 to 5 years. This should not mix up with government sponsored Apprenticeship


17/64

Training for unemployed youth certain underdeveloped nations like India.

Apprenticeship training is carried out under the guidance and intimate supervision of a

master craftsmans/expert worker/supervisor. During apprenticeship training period, the

trainee is paid less than that of a qualified worker.

Job Instruction Training(JIT):

During Second World War, Allied Forces experienced acute shortage of skilled craftsmen

and able supervisors. Special training programme was initiated on warfootings. Special

training. Training within industry(TWI) was one such programme. JIT was part of TWI.

JIT was intended for developing efficient supervisiors. JIT proved very effective and

extremely popular.

Off The Job Training:

Class Room Lectures:

This is the simplest form of training. This is a best form of instruction when the intention

is to convey information on rules, regulations, policies, and procedures. This form so also

suited on imparting knowledge on theory and concepts. Lecture form has limited success

when the objective is to improve the skill level of trainees. Another advantage is that itcan be used effectively even when numbers of trainees. Another advantage is that it can

be used effectively even when numbers of trainees are more. It also saves time. Major

disadvantage is that it involves passive participants of trainees and depends on ability of

teacher to a great extent.

Conferences, Seminars and Workshops:

This is a formal method of arranging meeting in which in which individuals confer to

discuss points of common interest for enriching their knowledge and skill. This is a group

activity. It encourages group discussion and participation of individuals for seeking

clarifications and offering explanatations and own experiences. It is a planned activity

with a leader/ moderator to guide the proceedings, which is focused on agreed agenda

points prefixed during planning of such conferences. There are 3 variations nearly

Directed conferences, Training conference and seminar/workshops.


18/64

Audio/Visual and film shows:

In order to improve understanding, audio-visual aids considered very useful and

sometimes inescapable to demonstrate operation of a machine or explain a process.

Audio visual and film shows can supplement the efforts of lecturing and improve its

effectiveness.

Group Discussions and Case study analysis:

Christopher Langdell initially introduced case study method at Harvard Law School in

1880s. The principle used is experience is the best teacher. Here several empirical

studies are examined in details to find out commonalities to derive general principles.

This method has, however, limited use for workers but better use for supervisiors. In

case of workers , one area of importance in this method is that of quality control .

The case study is based upon the belief that managerial competence can best attained

through the study, contemplation and discussion of concrete cases.

Simulation/Computer Modelling:

Any training activity in which actual working environment is artificially created as near

and realistic as possible, is called simulation training. Case study analysis experimentingexercises, game playing, computer modeling and vestibule training etc. come under this

category. When using computer-programming method artificially creates work

environment, we call it computer modeling.

Vestibule Training :


19/64

In vestibule training, employees are trained on the equipment they are employed, but the

training is conducted away from the place of work. For training a machineshop operator,

a vestibule or separate room is arranged for training in which all necessary equipment and

machines required in an actual machineshop are duplicated.

Programmed instruction:

Programmed instruction is a structured method of instruction aided through texts,

handouts, books, and computer aided instructions(CAI) . In this case the instruction

material and information is broken down in meaningful units and arranged in a proper

sequence to form a logical method of learning package, the learning ability is tested and

evaluated in real time basis.

Retraining:

Technology is advancing at a very rapid pace. Hence obsolescence is a major problem

fixed by individual workers. Second problem faced by the workers are the introduction of

automation. Loyal workers of long service, suddenly find themselves useless to the

company. There are many instances of protests and fear by many workers in various

fields like railways, posts and telegraphs, LIC, Banking etc..

Phases of training:

The various steps involved in the design and development of training programme

particularly for the employees are:

1) Identification of training needs of employees

2) Planning of training programme

3) Preparation of trainees

4) Implementation

5) Evaluation

The last stage in the training programme process is the evaluation of results this is the

main part to know the effectiveness/determines the results of the training programme.


20/64

22/64

IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTIVE TRAINING :

There are impediments which can make a training programme ineffective:

Management commitment is lacking and uneven: Most companies do not spend

money on training. Those that do tend to concentrate on managers, technicians

and professionals. The rank and file workers are ignored. This must change for as

a result of rapid technological change, combined with new approaches to

organizational design and production management, workers are required to learn

three types of new skills:

(I)the ability to use technology.

(ii) the ability to maintain it.

(iii) the ability to diagnose system problems.In an increasingly competitive environment, the ability to implement

rapid changes in product and technologies is often essential for economic

viability.

Aggregate spending on training is inadequate: companies spend misuscule of

their revenues on training. Worse still, budget allocation to training is the first

item to be cut when a company faces financial crunch.

Educational institutions award degrees but graduates lack skills: This is thereason why business must spend vast sums of money to train workers in basic

skills. Organizations also need to train employees in multiple skills. Managers,

particularly at the middle level, need to be retrained in team-playing skills,

entrepreneurship skills, leadership skills and customer oriented skills.

Large scale poaching of trained workers: Trained workforce is in great demand.

Unlike Germany, where local business groups pressure companies not to poach

companys employees there is no such system in our country. Companies in our

country, however insist on employees to sign bongs of tenure before sending

them for training, particularly before deputing them to undergo training in foreign

countries. Such bonds are not effective as the employees or the poachers are to

pay the stipulated amounts as compensation when the bounds are breached.


23/64

No help to workers displaced because of downsizing: Organizations are

downsizing and de-layering in order to trim their workforces. The govt should set

apart certain fund from the national renewal fund for the purpose of retraining and

rehabilitating displaced workers.

Employers and B schools must develop closer ties: B schools are often seen as

not responding to labour-market demands. Business is seen as not communicating

its demand in B schools. This must change.

Organised labour can help: organized labour can play a positive role in imparting

trainng to workers. Major trade unions in our country seem to be busy in

attending to mundane issues such as bonus, wages, settlement of disputes and the

like. They have little time in imparting training to their members.

FORMULATION OF HYPOTHESIS

The hypothesis has been to analyze the effectiveness of training programme conducted

in the company i.e. it analyzes the effective training methods and techniques adopted to

achieve the organizational goals.

Tools used for testing of hypothesis

A Hypothesis is the tentative explanatation for something. It frequently attempts to

answer the questions How and Why at one level, hypothesis simply suggests how

particular variable is related.

At a more theoretical level hypothesis may offer a reason for the way that particularvariable was selected generally speaking, it is a logically organized set of proposition

which serves to define the events describe the relationships among these events and

explains the occurrence of these events.

By hypothesis we mean a statement hypothesis testing deals with a procedure, which

aspects or rejects the hypothesis.

The two hypothesis are :

NULL HYPOTHESIS

It states there is no significance difference between the sample value and population

value. This means that the observe difference is clue to the random fluctuations Ho

denotes the null hypothesis.

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS


32/64

In case the null is rejected, we should have the alternate hypothesis to accept alternative

hypothesis denoted accordingly.

Types of Errors

While testing hypothesis, there are four possible combinations between the population

value and sample value. The four combinations are:

Hypothesis is true & test accepts it.

Hypothesis is true & test rejects it. (Type 1 error)

Hypothesis is false & test accepts it. (Type 2 error)

Hypothesis is false & test rejects it.

Level of significance

It is nothing but the probability of rejecting a true hypothesis and denoted by .

1- gives the level of confidence of the experiment in taking the decision. It is always

preferable to keep the level of significance at a low percentage. It means that we should

not reject a true hypothesis. represents the risk of accepting a false hypothesis 1- is

called the power of the test.

Acceptance region

This represents the region with in which the calculated of the statistics must lie to accept

the null hypothesis. If calculated value lies in this region then the null hypothesis will be

rejected.

Hypothesis testing procedure :

1. Set up a null hypothesis denoted by Ho this means there is no significant difference

between sample value and population value. In case if Ho is rejected we must have an

alternative hypothesis.

2. Select the level of significance.

3. Select an appropriate distribution for the test, which is known as test hypothesis the

distribution generally used are normal distribution students t distribution, Fisher F

distribution or chi-square distribution.


33/64

4. Calculate the necessary values from the given data for the test.

5. Make conclusion from testing. If calculated value is less than the tabulated value,

else Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected.

Test of Hypothesis

Whether the training and development activities has reached the employees or not .

Efforts are made in the study for proving the following hypothesis.

Information:

Sample size : 40

Number of respondents for YES : 38 Number of respondents for NO : 2

Assumptions:

The test is at 5% level of significance.

It is assumed that out of total population 5% of the respondents will respond negatively.

Such a test for attributes are one tailed on the basis of the above assumptions

Null hypothesis = Ho = Training and development activities has not reached theemployees effectively.

Alternative hypothesis = Ha = Training and development activities has reached the

employees effectively.

Test statistic Zcal = p-P

PQ n

when n = sample size

p = Population proportion

P = sample proportion

Q = Significance

Given:


34/64

p = 38/40 = 0.92

P = 95% = 0.95

Q = 1-P = 1-0.95 = 0.05

n = 40

Therfore,

Zcal = p-P

PQ/n

= 0.950.05/40

= 0.03

Zcal = 0.92-0.950.03

Ztab = 1.96

Conclusion

Zcal < Ztab

Therefore , we can infer that training and development activities has reached the

employees effectively.

Limitations of the study

1. The time duration was very short, to complete the study in the stipulated time.

2. The study is purely confined to PCS and based on the facts and data provided by the

company.

3. Due to time and financial constraints it was possible to interview 40 respondents

though we selected 60 respondents. However, adequate representation was given for all

categories of employees and officers.
