improving the productivity level and strengthening areas where an employee lags.

4. The success of a T&D program depends on the amount of transfer of training - i.e. how
far the employee could bring the learning ( from the T&D program) back into the job.

5. The motivation obtained from the T&D program impacts the productivity and thus the
success of a T&D program.

 TRAINING
AND DEVELOPMENT

TRAINING

Training is concerned with imparting developing specific skills for a particular purpose.
Training is the act of increasing the skills of an employees for doing a particular job. Training
is the process of www.allprojectreports.com www.allprojectreports.com learning a sequence
of programmed behaviour. In earlier practice, training programme focused more on
preparation for improved performance in particular job. Most of the trainees used to be from
operative levels like mechanics, machines operators and other kinds of skilled workers. When
the problems of supervision increased, the step were taken to train supervisors for better
supervision.

DEVELOPMENT

Management development is all those activities and programme when recognized and
controlled have substantial influence in changing the capacity of the individual to perform his
assignment better and in going so all likely to increase his potential for future assignments.
Thus, management development is a combination of various training programme, though
some kind of training is necessary, it is the overall development of the competency of
managerial personal in the light of the present requirement as well as the future requirement.
Development an activity designed to improve the performance of existing managers and to
provide for a planned growth of managers to meet future organizational requirements is
management development.

Management development is based on following on assumptions.

1. Management development is a continuous process. It is not one shot programme but

continues though out the career of a manager.

2. Management development is any kind of learning, is based on the assumption that there,
always existing a gape between an individual’s performance and his potential for the
performance.

24 | P a g e
3. Management development seldom takes place in completely peaceful and relaxed
atmosphere.

4. Management development requires clear setting of goals.

5. Management development required conducive environment.

TRAINING NEED IDENTIFICATION FOR A COMPANY

Introduction Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational

courses or activities should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity.
Here the focus should be placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a
constructive outcome. In order to emphasize the importance of training need identification we
can focus on the following areas: -

• To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line.

• To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her job
performance.

• To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring about a
match between individual aspirations and organizational goals.

Identification of training needs (ITN), if done properly, provides the basis on which all other
training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is a
process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is important to them,
and the reputation of the organization is also at stake.

Identification of training needs is important from both the organizational point of view as
well as from an individual's point of view. From an organization’s point of view it is
important because an organization has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all
stakeholders or members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbors.
These objectives can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities of its people, releasing
potential and maximizing opportunities for development. Therefore people must know what
they need to learn in order to achieve organizational goals. Similarly if seen from an
25 | P a g e
individual's point of view, people have aspirations, they want to develop and in order to learn
and use new abilities, and people need appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions.
Therefore, to meet people's aspirations, the organization must provide effective and attractive
learning resources and conditions. And it is also important to see that there is a suitable match
between achieving organizational goals and providing attractive learning opportunities.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

MEANING OF RESEARCH

Research as “ the manipulation of things, concepts of symbols for the purpose of

generalizing to extend, correct or verify knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in
construction of theory or in the practice of an art.”

The Research Methodology followed for further work can be primarily classified into two
stages namely Exploratory and Descriptive. The stepwise details of the research are as
follows:

Stage – I

Exploratory Study:

Since we always lack a clear idea of the problems one will meet during the study, carrying
out an exploratory study is particularly useful. It helped develop my concepts more clearly,
establish priorities and in improve the final research design. Exploratory study will be
carried out by conducting:

Secondary data analysis which included studying the website (www.___________.com) of

the company and also going through the various articles published in different sources
(magazines, books, internet, newspapers) on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises and
Training and development process.

Experience surveys also conduct with Assistant-Manager Human Resources and the General
Manager and Personnel Officer of ________________ to gain knowledge about the nature
of Training and development process followed in the organization.

Stage – II

Descriptive Study:

After carrying out initial Exploratory studies to bring clarity on the subject under study,
Descriptive study will be carried out to know the actual Training and Development method

28 | P a g e
 being followed. The knowledge of actual training and development process is needed to
document the process and suggest improvements in the current system to make it more
effective. The tools used to carry out Descriptive study included both monitoring and
Interrogation.

Sample Selection:

To know the Training and development process of the ___________, for identifying through
Exploratory and Observational studies that the Assistant Manager Human Resources, the
General Manager at Head office and The Esteemed Managing Director of the company are
the right persons who provides training to the employees.

Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from training and
developing its workers, including:

• Increased productivity.

• Reduced employee turnover.

• Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains.

• Decreased need for supervision.

Limitations:

● In view of the limited time available for the study, only the Training and
Development process could be studied.
● The sample size is too small to reflect the opinion of the whole organization. ϖ The
answers given by the respondents have to be believed and have to be taken for
granted as truly reflecting their perception.

 LITERATURE REVIEW:

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:

According to the Michel Armstrong, “Training is systematic development of the knowledge,

skills and attitudes required by an individual to perform adequately a given task or job”.

an employee for doing a particular job.”

(Source: Personnel Management, McGraw Hill; 6th Edition, 1984)

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. ‘Successful candidates placed on the jobs need training to perform
their duties effectively’.

(Source: Aswathappa, K. Human resource and Personnel Management, New Delhi: Tata
