    Introduction to Training

    mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]

    8/68

    & Development:

    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 themfor an intended job.

    Need for training :

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    9/68

    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, ICICI

    Organizational 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 adopt thelatest 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 thecomplex 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.

    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.

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    10/68

    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:

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    11/68

    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 anintelligent 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.

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    12/68

    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:

    Need for the Study :

    Shortage of skills.

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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    13/68

    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.

    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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    14/68

    legitimate need of employees. In fact, the specialist person was more needed to prevent

    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:

    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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    15/68

    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 by the

    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 theirsurvival 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 function

    and 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 regardingcorporate 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 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,

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    16/68

    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 and

    encouraging 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 :

    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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    17/68

    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 quantity or

    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 industries

    are 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 ofknowledge. 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.

    18/68

    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 and

    organizational Needs: Management finds deviations between employees

    Classification of Training:

    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 beclassified 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.

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    21/68

    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

    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 ispaid 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 andextremely popular.

    Off The Job Training:

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    22/68

    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 it can

    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.

    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 experimenting

    exercises, 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 :

    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 forma 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:

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    24/68

    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.

    Benefits of training:

    How Training Benefits the Organization :

    26/68

    Helps a person develop speaking and listening skills: also writing skills when

    exercises are required.

    Helps eliminate fear in attempting new tasks.

    Benefits in personnel and Human Relations, Intragroup and intergroup

    relations and policy implementations:

    Improves communication between groups and individuals.

    Aids in orientation for new employees and those taking new jobs through transfer

    or promotion.

    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 andprofessionals. 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:

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    27/68

    (1)the ability to use technology.

    (2) the ability to maintain it.

    (3) 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 the reason

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

    the stipulated amounts as compensation when the bounds are breached.

    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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    28/68

    to mundane issues such as bonus, wages, settlement of disputes and the like. They

    have little time in imparting training to their members.

    Research & Methodology:

    To analyze the training methods followed in PCS its merits pitfalls.

    To put forward suggestions and recommendations in the Training methods followed

    in the organization.

    To analyse whether the training has reached the employees.

    The purpose of the study is to understand the training and development

    programme followed in PCS. The methodology evolves from the objectives

    of the project and involves collecting primary and secondary data.

    Research DesignThe research design adopted is descriptive research design. It involves fact-finding,

    Inquiries of different kinds etc. The researcher has a wide variety of methods to consider,

    either singly or in combination. They can be grouped as

    1. Primary source of data

    2. Secondary source of data

    For this dissertation the data was collected from both the sources.

    Primary dataData is made available through interview and questionnaires.

    Appointments were with scientists and interviews were conducted. Questionnaires were

    prepared for trainers and trainees to know the methods adopted by the organization.

    Secondary data Data were collected from documents, records, Journals, Internet, text

    books and company past records etc.

    Sampling unit/Target group

    The respondents were Linemen, Assistant Executives /Junior Executives, Senior

    Assistants /Assistant etc.

    Sample size

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    31/68

    As the name indicates, sample size refers to the number of respondents or the size of the

    sample, which is to be surveyed. Here the sample size taken for the study was 40.

    Sampling procedure

    It refers to the definite plan adopted by the research for obtaining the data from the

    respondents; the technique adopted here is to gather data from sampling unit, questionnaire

    method and interview.

    Statistical tools used

    The various statistical tools for the analysis and interpretation of data are simple percentage

    method and Pie charts.Percentage was calculated for each factor as per the below shown formula

    Number of respondents in favour of X 100

    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:

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    32/68

    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 particular

    variable 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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    33/68

    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 regionThis 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.

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    34/68

    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 the employees

    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

  • 8/2/2019 HR Project-Trg & Devlopment

    35/68

    Given:

    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 = 0.92-0.95

    0.03

    Ztab = 1.96

    Conclusion

    Zcal < Ztab

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

    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.
