TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

1. INTRODUCTION

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:

Training is a very important aspect of HRD. The three main areas involved are

i.e., skills, knowledge and attitudes, but always with a definite purpose in mind.

“Training is being used as a tool, it is upgrading Human Resource in some

organization by design and in many others by default. It attempts to improve the

performance of employees on the current job or prepare them for the future job.

Training and development being the most vital tools of HRD, generally forms

a major part of the present HRD. It is essential from top to bottom, each an every

employee is being trained in his cadre. In higher cadres training is a process of

assisting managers to learn and improve their ability to perform managerial tasks with

emphasis on learning management from the organization point of view and not from

the individual view point of learning.

Training and development are the planned leaning experiences that teach

workers how to perform their current as well as future jobs more effectively. Training

and Development practices are designed to improve organizational performance

through enhancing knowledge and skills of the employees. It is essential that all the

activities relating to training should be in tune with the specific needs of both the

organization and the employees.

There is also the need to assess the attitude and inclination of the trainees or

employees regarding the training. It is also important to obtain feedback on, to what

extent the training as brought and change in perception, attitude and behavior of the

trainees, and also to that extent it is helping the individual to develop his skills,

improving performance and also for the development of the employee.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Training:

Training makes a very important to the development of the organization of

human resources and hence to the achievement of its aims and objectives. To

achieve it’s purpose, training needs to be effectively managed so that the right training

is given to the right form, at the right time and at the right costs.

The term “Training” indicates the process involved in improving the aptitudes,

skills and abilities of the employees to perform specific jobs. Training helps in

updating old talents and developing new ones.

According to Edwin B.Flippo. “Training is the act of increasing the

knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular job”. Training involves

the development of skills that usually necessary to perform a specific job. Its purpose

is to achieve a change in the behavior of those trained and to enable them to do their

jobs better. Training is necessary for newly employees to make them productive and

also to old employees whenever new machines and equipment are introduced. In

fact, training is a continuous process.

The word “Training” consists of eight letters, each of which could be

attributed some significant meaning in the following manner:

T - Talent and Tenacity

R - Reinforcement

A - Awareness

I - Interest

N - Novelties

I - Intensity

N - Nurturing

G - Grip

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Development:

Development, in contrast, is considered to be more general than training and

more oriented to individual needs in addition to the organizational needs and it is the

most often aimed towards management of the people. Usually the intent of

development is to provide knowledge and understanding that will enable people to

carry out non-technical organizational functions more effectively, such as problem

solving, decision making and relating to people.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS

Fundamental to the delivery of any path project is the development of the team

and the professional development of all individuals. At all levels there is an

expectation that the skills, attitudes and knowledge required to deliver successful

projects will be gained while these projects develop.

3

Page 4: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

This section looks at how project managers can identify the skills and

knowledge required to successfully deliver a competent project as well as provide the

training and development required for both themselves and the project team. The

intention here is to give an overview, as there are training and development texts that

cover this subject in much more detail.

You should start with an analysis of the training and development that is

required. The starting point and the subsequent steps can be represented in ‘The

Training Cycle’ or ‘The Systematic approach to Training and Development’. This is a

widely recognized and used model of the processes involved in professional

development.

MEETING THE NEED THROUGH TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

It is not the intention here to go into detail of the many ways in which training

and development can be delivered. Instead, this section will focus on three areas that

are pertinent to the path manager: the manager, the team member and the team.

However, at this point it is well worth taking into account that different individuals

may prefer different ways of learning.

The path manager

As a result of the training needs analysis a number of routes to development

may be decided. As part of their personal development plan (PDP) it is common

practice for managers to put together a portfolio of evidence showing their progress.

(In some professions this is actually compulsory in order to maintain professional

status.)

The contents of the portfolio should include:

an up-to-date CV;

qualification and course certificates;

a record of past training and development; any analysis carried out;

appraisal reports;

the PDP and reviews.

4

Page 5: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

This portfolio should continually be updated, and in time will provide

evidence of a commitment to lifelong learning. Team members should be encouraged

to keep a portfolio to recognize their achievements. Further development of the team

leader is discussed under team development below.

The team member (including the manager)

There are a wide variety of methods for an individual’s development. Some of

these are related to a team’s needs, as discussed in the following section, but some of

the needs may be very specific to the individual. A number of specific needs can be

identified from the training needs analysis and PDPs. The team manager or trainer

may then be required to determine how these needs can be met. There are a number of

options.

External provision

Further education colleges and private training providers can be a source of

training and development. If the courses provided match the needs identified in

development plans, these can be very successful. Sometimes it is difficult to find

courses that match needs completely; however, every effort should be made to ensure

that the training is at the right level and will meet the identified needs.

If numbers justify it, it usually more cost-effective for external organisations

to deliver in-house training to reach specific objectives that have been agreed between

the training organisations and the client.

Open learning

A wide range of open-learning packages covering both technical and

interpersonal skills are available. Such courses are widely used in, for example,

management training; some qualifications for managers incorporate a certain amount

of open learning, some of which may be supported by mentors or tutors in the

workplace or in a learning centre. This is the model used extensively by the Open

University and the Open Business School.

5

Page 6: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Projects and assignments

There is very little difference between these two terms: assignments are

generally written and projects are generally practical. Both start with an agreed

objective or set of objectives and can be used at any level.

EVALUATING THE DEVELOPMENT

HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?

In Identifying training and development needs we looked at the training cycle,

in which a need for training and development was identified; Meeting the need then

described how training can be delivered, whether it is for the path manager or for a

team member.

It is important for the team and the individual to determine whether the

training and development has been effective. Before you do this it is useful to look at

a model of how people learn. This can be interpreted in the learning cycle.

‘If you don’t know where you are going, you will not know when you get there.’

6

Page 7: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

WE EXPERIENCE

Think back to when you learned a certain task. Whether it was learning to ride

a bike, drive a car or do a crossword, you have to start with an experience. That is,

you attend a training course, try something out, are shown how to do something,

watch a video or any other method which exposes you to the skill, method, task or

knowledge.

WE REFLECT

After instruction, if you wish to learn the task or knowledge, you reflect on it.

You can either think through the process, such as doing crosswords or mathematical

problems, or you can practice, such as first-aid training.

WE SET A RULE

Having reflected or practiced, you can see how a task is performed and you set

a rule that is the way something is done ‘clicks’. Having set the rule, you then go on

to practice the task until it is ‘mastered’.

This is exactly the principle behind study skills in which the student learns a

subject and then by writing essays or doing tests along with feedback from a tutor

eventually understands a process.

APPLYING THIS TO TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Training and development at any level wastes resources unless it correctly

meets a need. The only way you can determine whether it has met a need is to

evaluate the learning, taking into account the learning cycle. This applies to both

managers and path team members.

Evaluation can exist at a number of levels, and unless you understand and use

this you will not fully implement training that will meet the overall needs of the team.

7

Page 8: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Instant evaluation

We are familiar with instant evaluation sheets at the end of training courses.

While these can be useful in an overall picture, they are generally of limited use as

they only describe feelings at that time. They may also reflect what the learner has

enjoyed rather than what he/she has actually learned.

Pre-briefing

It is more meaningful if team members are briefed by a manager before any

training event to talk over the content of the training, to determine expectations and to

set the scene for a debriefing.

Debriefing

Debriefing is a good way to ensure that the learner is focused and is going to

be able to implement the training as soon as possible after the learning. It is also a

vehicle for the manager evaluating whether this was the right training and whether it

was value for money.

Learning

Many people attend courses or other training sessions but do not learn as

efficiently as they could. There can be many reasons for this, including lack of

motivation or poor teaching. You must determine whether any training and

development is effective in assisting the learner to learn. This can be done through

tests or examinations, but the most effective way in the workplace is to allow the

learner to put the new knowledge into practice as soon as possible; if necessary, this

can be carried out under supervision, and feedback given as soon as possible.

Vocational qualifications were mentioned earlier; the assessment of skills in the

workplace is a major benefit of this system.

8

Page 9: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Team learning

If you are concerned not only about the learning experienced by the individual

but about the team, you have also to ask whether the training has had an effect on

developing the team through either learning skills or changing attitudes.

That is, if you want to review team performance and the role of training in

developing and achieving this then you should previously have set team development

objectives using the SMART principles. The team development should contain

objectives, for example:

By the end of September 2003 two assessors will have been trained to

certificate level, three coaches to skills level and five members of the team to

SVQ Level 2.

Only by evaluation can we guage the effectiveness of training and

development.

We have here specific and measurable objectives that can be evaluated easily. This

can be combined with evaluations from training courses and SVQs to form an overall

picture.

Organisational learning

If the evaluation of team learning is important, so too is the evaluation of

organisational learning. This can be compiled from team evaluation reports and take

the form of a report on the overall impact of training and development on

organisational objectives.

If the above approach is taken you can more easily compare what has been

achieved with what was planned in the original training needs analysis and the

individual, team and organisational development plans.

9

Page 10: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

A CHECKLIST FOR EVALUATION

Below is a sample of the kind of questions which can and should be asked of

any training and development. By no means comprehensive, it nevertheless gives

guidance on what should be evaluated:

Does the training delivered meet the identified need?

Has the training met the individual, team or organisational objectives?

Has the need been met completely or in part?

What has prevented the need being met?

Has the need been met both efficiently and in a cost-effective way?

Was the training event satisfactory?

Did the delivery of the training enhance learning?

Has the learning been set at the right level?

Has the learner been able to implement learning as soon as possible?

Was the learner briefed and debriefed for the learning?

Have all necessary resources been allocated to the training?

Are these resources adequate?

Has the development enhanced the learning needs of the team?

APPROACH OF TRAINING AND DEVLOPMENT

TRADITIONAL APPROACH

Most of the organizations before never used to believe in training. They were

holding the traditional view that managers are born and not made. There were also

some views that training is a very costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to

believe more in executive pinching. But now the scenario seems to be changing.

10

Page 11: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

MODERN APPROACH

Training and development is that Indian Organizations have realized the

importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of retention tool

than a cost. The training system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a

smarter workforce and yield the best results

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure

the availability of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to

that, there are four other objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and

Societal.

Individual Objectives – help employees in achieving their personal goals,

which in turn, enhances the individual contribution to an organization.

Organizational Objectives – assist the organization with its primary

objective by bringing individual effectiveness.

Functional Objectives – maintain the department’s contribution at a level

suitable to the organization’s needs.

Societal Objectives – ensure that an organization is ethically and socially

responsible to the needs and challenges of the society.

2. Research design

Research Design

A research is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data

in a manner that aims to combine relevant to research purpose with economy in

procedure. The central part of the research activity to develop an effective research

strategy or design

2.1 Need for the Study

Rapid development in technology and changing goals of organization has

made training and development of employees inevitable. It has now been well

accepted by all that training is needed by everyone in organization from top to

bottom.

However, this study is mainly concentrated on the aspects like need

assessment of training, attitude and behavior of the employees, methods of training

effectiveness of training etc. However, studies on knowledge and perception of the

employees about the different training programs and the effectiveness of the training

in their opinion appear to be somewhat sparse.

Therefore, a study on knowledge and perception of the employees about the

different training programs and the effectiveness of the training in their opinion is

proposed.

2.2 Statement of the Problem

The selected topic is “TRAINING&DEVELOPMENT” at Lanco Industries.

To study the extent to which the respondents need to have training

programmes.

To study the reacting of respondents to the existing work environment.

To find out the factors affecting training programme.

To suggest the ways for the improvement of training programmes

12

Page 13: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

2.3 Research Methodology:-

Any effort which is directed to study the strategy needed to identify the

problem and selecting of best solution for better results is known as research.

A system of models, procedures and techniques used to find the results of a

research problem is called research methodology

This is a systematic way to solve the research problem and it is an important

component for the study without which researcher may not be able to obtain the facts

and figures from the employees.

2.3.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main objectives of the study are as follows:

To find out the opinions of the employees regarding training programmes.

To identify the training requirements in the organization.

To study the existing situation regarding training programmes.

2.3.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The study is Limited to “Lanco Industries Ltd”.

Employee training and development is not only an activity that is desirable

but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it maintains a

valuable and knowledge workforce.

The scope extends to:

Strengths and weaknesses are identified

Developing interest

Complete demonstration of the job requirements

13

Page 14: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Finally training and development programmes help to increase organizational

effectiveness which leads to increase sales and maintain customer relationship.

Training and development programmes also help individuals to fulfill personal needs.

2.3.3 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The study is limited to Lanco Industries Ltd., only.

Frequent visits to various departments and collecting information are not

possible.

The study is conducting under the assumptions that the information given by

the respondents are all correct.

Interaction with employees are executives is very limited because of their

busy work schedule.

2.4 Data Sources :-

Data was collected based on two sources:

Primary Data

Secondary Data

Primary Data:

The primary data is collected with the help of questionnaire. The

questionnaire is chosen because of its simplicity and reliability. Researchers can

expect a straight answer, which is directly related to the questions.

Secondary Data:

Secondary Data is collected through the document provided by the HRD

department such as policy decisions, reports regarding suggestions schemes etc.

Books from various authors of HRD, magazines, journals and annual reports of the

company, feedback reports, files of training department, brouchers and company

personal manuals, etc.,

14

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

2.5 Data collection tools:-

i)Interview: An interview may be regarded as a systematic method by which a person

enter more or less inanimately in to the life of a comparative stranger .An interview is

a conversation between two persons the interviewer and the interviewee.

ii)Personal Observation: Data was collected through personally observing the

manuals records and through internet.

iii) The information was analyzed and tabulated using simple percentage, various

charts, diagrams and table’s .Tabulated data was presented graphically.

2.6 Sampling Unit:

Sampling unit for the study is executives, senior executives, and graduates, ITI

and diploma holders of Lanco Industries Ltd.,

2.6.1 Sampling Size:

The sampling size consists of 50 respondents.

2.6.2 Sampling Technique;

Sampling can be broadly classified into probability sampling and non

probability sampling. But the study is conducted by non-random convenient sampling

techniques for the purpose of assuring the sample size.

Convenience sampling:

The type of sampling depends upon the convenience of the researcher.

Random Sampling:

This type of sampling can be choosing on the basis of random.

Quantitative Analysis:

The data is collected through questionnaire regarding the purpose of approval

and positive and negative aspects of existing system were analyzed quantitatively and

qualitatively and inferences were summarized.

15

Page 16: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

2.7 STATISTICAL TOOLS:-

The design tool used to analyze the data is percentage methods

PERCENTAGE METHOD:

The method is very simple to analyze the data. The sample size may be large.

To analyze such large size of data, we can change into percentages. To change that

the formula is

No of respondents X 100

Total No of Sample Size

2.8 HYPOTHESIS:-

1) Null Hypothesis (ho):-

There is no significant relationship between employee’s performance and their

T&D facilities in the organization.

2) Alternative HYPOTHESIS (h1):-

There is significant relationship between employee’s performance and their

T&D facilities in the organization.

3. PROFILES

3.1 INDUSTRY PROFILE

One cannot simply think of economic development without the growth of the

Cement Industry. Cement one of the basic elements for setting up storage and health

infrastructure plays a crucial role in economic development of a country.

Having more then a hundred and fifty years of history it had been used

extensively construction of anything from of building to projects. As such cement

consumption may be considered as one of the yardsticks in scaling economy. It is

core sector industry and a rise in the price of cement is bound to have inflationary

effects on other industries with in the economy.

India is the second largest cement producing country after China. The

industry is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation that has creator intense

competitive pressure on price realizations. Spread across length and breath of the

country there are 120 large plants belonging to 56 companies of around 135 Million

Tones (MT) as March 2002.

The industry was totally decontrolled in March 1989 and deli censed in July

1991 leading to a rapid increase in installed capacity from 61.55 Million Tones per

annum in 1989-90 to 105.25 Million Tones per annum in 1996-97. Today cement

ranks among the to five industries in terms of their contribution to the union excise

duty.

17

Page 18: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Cement manufacturing involves hating a mixture of limestone and clay.

Partial fusion occurs and lumps called clinker are formed. The clinker is mixed with

little amount of gypsum to give ordinary Portland Portland Cement (OPC), mixing

this with blast furnace slag or husk yields. Portland Slag Cement (PSC) and Portland

Pozzolonna Cement (PPC). The producing capacities of are, PPC and PBFS are 70,

18 and 11 percent respectively. The manufacturing process has also changed from the

inefficient wet process to the more efficient dry process 87% of the total capacity is

of dry process and 13% is not.

Cement consumption growth is highly correlated to the GDP growth and

serves and a leading Indicator. More industrial activities and greater purchasing

power means more asset formation and thus more consumption of cement.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

The total world production of cement if to be around 1400 MT. Asia is the

largest consumer followed by Europe & the America. India’s installed capacity and

production for 1996-97 was 105.25 Million Tones Per annum & 76.22 including mini

and white sector. With 3.8 MT more already becoming operational this year and

another 3 MT to be added, there will be 57 large cement companies with 114 plants

and an installed capacity of 109 Million Tones per annum.

Before 1991 the Government uses to be the biggest consumer of cement

accounting for almost 40%-45%. Since then its share has been coming down and now

stands at about 30%. About 37% is estimated taken up by the retail segment.

The cement sector is relatively insulated from international trade. Being a very

bulky item, International Trade is very limited and only between neighboring states.

Although India has been consistently exporting cement in the volume of exports took

a beating after the southern Asian crises. From a peak of 2.68MT 1998-99 cement

exports from India have slid down to 2.06MT in 1998-99.

18

Page 19: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

With the expected huge demand in the Asian countries the future India being a

convenient country for the export oriented activities and with the cheaper labour there

are many cement companies entering India.

Cement is preferred as building material in India. It is used extensively in

house hold and industrial construction. Earlier government sector used to consume

50% of the cement sold in India, but in the last decade it share has come down to

35% rural areas consume less 23% of the total cement. Availability of cheaper

building material for the nonpermanent structure affects the rural demand.

The budget gave substantial incentives to private sector construction

companies. Ongoing liberalization will lead to an increase in industrial activities and

infrastructure development so it is hoped that Indian cement industry shall boom

again in near future. The National highway Act to allow private toll collection and

identified projects, bridge, expressways for private construction.

MARKETING:

Cement being a commodity item has low margins and its bulky nature ensures

that the supply is determined by the economical transportation distance, this led to

the formation of regional markets, Western, Northern, Southern and eastern. And the

concentration of limestone deposits in a few states has a led to the concentration of

limestone the formation of cement plant clusters at seven locations. Having surpassed

the period of shortage and achieving high growth in capacity, implying springing up

many plants, the industry is getting competitive. Hence the necessary and need for

coordinated marketing efforts.

The surplus cement that emerged towards end of the 1980’s necessitated the

Indian cement industry to develop marketing strategies and look for new areas of

cement usage. On such are identified was the coast of concrete roads.

Since 1988 the cement manufacturers association has propagated the idea of

concrete roads through a series of seminars, workshops and deliberations at decision-

making levels at both state and central governments discussion with metropolitan

19

Page 20: Lanco T&D Hr Project

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

authorities and other involved in road building activities. As a result the Delhi –

Matura road is under construction. The city of Bombay has already completed

construction of one-third of its 350 km arterial roads with concrete.

More concrete roads and likely to be built in India both in the private and

government sectors including toll roads and express highways. The government has

recently asked for private participation including foreign investment for the

construction of toll roads, some which are likely to be concrete.

The incentives offered to private builders include a guarantee of minimum

reasonable rate of return on their investments, increase debt equity ratio up to 100%

foreign equity participation development of service and rest areas along the road.

Expressways between Bombay – Nasik, Bombay – Pune, Bangalore – Mysore and

Bombay – Vadodara are some of the roads identified.

3.3 PRODUCT PROFILE:

Lanco industries are manufacturing the following products in it’s group of companies.

SPUN PIPES

PIG IRON

CEMENT

POWER

COKE OVEN

SPUN PIPES:-

Pre-analyzed liquid metal from Blast Furnace is taken in to Induction Furnace.

The metal is superheated to a temperature of about 1520 o C and adjusted for

chemical composition by addition of Steel Scrap and Ferro Silicon. The adjusted

metal is taken into a converter for treatment to convert into SG iron. The adjusted

from converter is transferred to Spinning Machines through ladles. The metal is

poured to unlined water-cooled metallic moulds through a runner. The mould is kept

at a slightly inclined position and rotated at high speed. The uniform flow of metal

and uniform travel of the mould is ensured through flow control valves to achieve the

uniformity in the thickness. Due to the centrifugal force the metal is held against the

mould wall and the solidification of metal takes place due to water-cooling of mould.

The pipe cast through above process known as DELVAD Process is heat-treated to

achieve the requisite physical properties and microstructure. After heat treatment the

pipes are coated externally with Zinc and then the pipes are finished before testing

them with hydrostatic pressure. The tested pipes are lined internally with cement and

then cured in the stream chamber. The lined pipes are ground and washed with water

before sending them for bitumen painting. The pipes are preheated before bitumen

coating on external surface. The coated pipes are sent to dispatch yard after marking.

PIG IRON:-

“Blossoming of a fiery bud!” exclaimed Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, the then

President of India while inaugurating the Pig Iron Plant of LANCO Industries Limited

in September 1994. And the bud has indeed blossomed!

Commissioned in a record time of 11 months, LANCO Industries Limited, a

90,000 tones per annum Pig Iron Plant, surpassed its rated capacity just after two

years of commissioning. Later it transformed the slag-a waste by-product, into

productive Slag Cement with setting-up of Cement Plant. The Pig Iron Plant capacity

was upgraded to 1,50,000 tones per annum in the year 2003.

“What represented the finest facet of India 's youthful techno-entrepreneurial

strength has today evolved to become the future of growth of Indian business- turning

competition into partnership.” These words of Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, sums up

the saga of LANCO Industries Limited which has turned 12 years.

Coke OVEN:-

Lanco Industries Limited is engaged in manufacturing of the ductile iron pipes

manufactured through a spinning process from 1999, with a capacity of 1,00,000

tons/year. To meet the pipe plant requirement of hot metal Lanco operates a mini blast

furnace with a capacity of 1,65,000 tons/year

Previously, Lanco use to import coke from Japan and China to meet the

requirement of the mini blast furnace but then due to the steep rise in the coke prices

in the international market it was very difficult to maintain the cost of hat metal

produced.

Thus it was decided to install a coke manufacturing facility to meet the in-

house coke requirements. The company was attracted by the low cost of the non-

recovery type of coke ovens with its easy compliance with the pollution control norms

without any major investments. Now the company operates a coke oven plant with a

set of 68 ovens based on the Dasgupta Technology. The plant was commissioned in

May 2005 and is producing to the rated capacity of 1,25,000 Tons/year

4. Review of literature

Training:

According to Flippo, “Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and

skills of an employee for doing a particular job”.

Dale’s Beach defined the training as “The organized procedure by which

people learn knowledge or skill of a definite purpose”.

Training is a learning experience in that it seeks a relatively permanent

change in an individual that will improve his or her ability to perform on the job. We

typically say training can involve the changing of skills, knowledge, attitudes or social

behavior.

Training is typically focuses on providing employees with specific skills or

helping them correct deficiencies in their performance.

Development:

Development an effort to provide employees with the abilities the organization

will need in the future.

PROCESS:

Classroom Instruction:

Each net speed leadership module begins with face to face group Instruction

facilitated by a certified trainer. You may choose to have one of the certified trainers.

Employing a stylish and powerfully designed electronic presentation, participant work

book, and detailed facilitator, insightful small group discussion, skills practice

sessions and practical application. Participants return to their jobs with relevant tools

and an action plan to apply them in right away.

Electronic Reinforcement:

One week after each module presented participants are e-mailed an electronic

magazine with a case study, role model interview, to do list and other features crafted

to reinforce the face to face training in a fresh, readable magazine formats.

Web Based Tools:

Participants them complete a brief web based certification test, called Net

speed coach to demonstrate their knowledge of the material and the ability to apply

that knowledge to real life management situation. Net speed on the job is an action

planning tool that participants use to construct detailed action plans for specific work

challenges, following a template based directly on learning principles covered in their

classroom experience.

BENEFITS:

For Participants:

Program participants gain valuable approaches to managing others, building

their teams and achieving productive results through collaboration with others.

Training presented in focused modules scheduled over several weeks, combined with

a systematic series of e-learning reinforcement tools, maximize knowledge retention

and application of skills.

For Trainers and Training Directors:

Net speed leadership’s blended learning approach to leadership development

is powerful and easy to implement. It allows training directors to quickly launch and

support a training initiative certifies program participants and reward participation and

achievement.

Net speed leadership supports the Training Director in providing the best face

to face instruction combined with state of the art online learning reinforcement tools.

Importance of Training:

1. Job & Organizational requirements are not static, they are changed from time

to time in view of technological advance & change in the awareness of the

total quality and productivity management.

2. The objectivity of the Total Quality & Productive Management can be

achieved only through training as training develops human skills and

efficiency, productivity, program & development to a greater extend depend

on training.

3. Organizational objectivity like viability, stability & growth can also be

achieved through training.

4. Trained employees would be valuable assets to an organization.

5. Organizational objectivity like viability, stability & growth can also be

Need for Training:

Every organization whether big or small; productive or non-productive;

economic or social; old or newly established should provide training to all employees

irrespective of their qualifications skill, suitability for the job etc. Training is not

something that is done once to a new employee, it is used continuously in every well

run establishment.

The need for training arises due to the following reasons:

To match the employees specification with the job requirement and

organizational needs.

Organizational viability and the transformation process.

choice is the methods of training. The primary concern of an organization is its

viability and hence its efficiency and if the organization does not respond to their

pressure, it may find itself to employees in order that they contribute to the

organizations efficiency and be able to cope up with the pressure of changing

environment. The ability of an organization depends to a considerable extent on the

skills of different employees, especially that the managerial cadres to relate the

organization with its environment.

Thus training can play the following roles in an organization:

8. SUGGESTIONS

The company has to implement modern training methods to help in

boosting the self morale of the employee at work place.

Training Evaluation has to be conducted.

Employees have to expose to the new environment than they will enhance

the knowledge.

Specific Training Programs has to be given to the selected personal who

are related.

Most of the employees feel that Training is related to weak areas, so the

management has to get awareness among the employees regarding

Training & Development.

Nearly 60.5 employees felt that they had not received any payment as

remuneration while they were in training. So, the management has to

clarify their doubt regarding payment while in training.

The satisfaction level of the employees is satisfactory. So, new changes in

training have to bring to improve the satisfaction level of employees.
