CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
10
Training of employees takes place after orientation takes place. Training is the process of
enhancing the skills, capabilities and knowledge of employees for doing a particular job.
Training process moulds the thinking of employees and leads to quality performance of
employees. It is continuous and never ending in nature.
Training is crucial for organizational development and success. It is fruitful to both employers
and employees of an organization. An employee will become more efficient and productive if he
is trained well. Training is given on four basic grounds:
1. New candidates who join an organization are given training. This training familiarizes
them with the organizational mission, vision, rules and regulations and the working
conditions.
2. The existing employees are trained to refresh and enhance their knowledge.
3. If any updating and amendments take place in technology, training is given to cope up
with those changes. For instance, purchasing new equipment, changes in technique of
production, computer impartment. The employees are trained about use of new
equipments and work methods.
4. When promotion and career growth becomes important. Training is given so that
employees are prepared to share the responsibilities of the higher level job.
1. To prepare employees to meet the varying and challenging needs of the job and
organization
2. To provide knowledge and skills to new entrants and to help them to perform their role
and job well.
3. To coach employees for more complex and higher level jobs.
11
4. To educate employees new and innovative ways and techniques of performing job.
1. On the job training- On the job training methods are those which are given to the
employees within the everyday working of a concern. It is a simple and cost-effective
training method. The in proficient as well as semi- proficient employees can be well
trained by using such training method. The employees are trained in actual working
scenario. The motto of such training is “learning by doing.” Instances of such on-job
training methods are job-rotation, coaching, temporary promotions, etc.
2. Off the job training- Off the job training methods are those in which training is provided
away from the actual working condition. It is generally used in case of new employees.
Instances of off the job training methods are workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. Such
method is costly and is effective if and only if large number of employees have to be
trained within a short time period. Off the job training is also called as vestibule training,
i.e., the employees are trained in a separate area (may be a hall, entrance, reception area,
etc. known as a vestibule) where the actual working conditions are duplicated.
1. Identifying the training needs- The training needs of each employee should be
identified. Programmes should be developed that are best suited to their needs.
2. Prepare the trainer- The trainer must do his home work well. He should know both
what to teach and how to teach. Time management is required by the trainer. Training
should be delivered in such a manner that the trainee should not lose the interest in the
job.
12
3. Prepare the trainee- The trainee should remain active during training. He should know
that why is he being trained. He should put across the trainer questions and doubts. The
trainee should be put at ease during the training programme.
4. Explain and demonstrate the operations- The trainer should explain the logical
sequence of the job. The trainee should perform the job systematically and explain the
complete job he is performing. His mistakes should be rectified and the complex step
should be done for him once. When the trainee demonstrates that he can do the job in
right manner, he is left to himself. Through repetitive practices, the trainee acquires more
skill.
5. Follow up and feedback- The trainee should be given feedback on how well he
performed the job. He should be asked to give a feedback on the effectiveness of training
programme.
Some of the specific reasons as to why a business should train its employees are:
Introduce new employees to the business (this is known as “induction training”) – see below
Help provide the skills the business needs (in particular making the workforce more flexible or
being trained on new higher technology machinery) Provide employees with better knowledge
about the business and the market it operates in Provide support for jobs that are complex and for
which the required skills and knowledge are often changing (e.g. a firm of lawyers training staff
about new legislation)
Support the introduction of new working methods, such as a firm introducing new lean
production techniques.Reduce the need for supervision and therefore free up valuable manager
13
time Help achieve a good health and safety record Help improve quality of a product or service
and lower customer complaints. Increase employee motivation and loyalty to the business
Training is a significant tool for employee development. Training has assumed great importance
because of exceptional rate of change in the internal and external organizational environment.
The importance/benefits of trained personnel towards organizational development are as follows-
a. Trained employees do not require tight control and supervision as they are well aware of
how to perform a job.
b. Trained employees can show higher performance by making optimum and best utilization
of the materials, tools, equipments and other resources provided to them.
c. Trained employees minimize wastages of resources in the organization and work both
efficiently and effectively.
d. Training makes employees more committed to an organization as the employees are
provided with growth, advancement and learning opportunities.
e. Training develops a line of proficient and skilled managers as it prepares employees for
complex and higher level tasks.
f. Trained employees adjust to the job better and there are fewer rates of absenteeism and
turnover.
g. Trained employees produce quality and quantity output.
h. Trained employees enable the organization to face competition from rival firms.
i. Trained employees can respond and adapt to the changing technology well.
j. Trained employees become more proficient and, thus, their earning potential increase
1. Improves morale of employees- Training helps the employee to get job security and job
satisfaction. The more satisfied the employee is and the greater is his morale, the more he
14
will contribute to organizational success and the lesser will be employee absenteeism and
turnover.
2. Less supervision- A well trained employee will be well acquainted with the job and will
need less of supervision. Thus, there will be less wastage of time and efforts.
3. Fewer accidents- Errors are likely to occur if the employees lack knowledge and skills
required for doing a particular job. The more trained an employee is, the less are the
chances of committing accidents in job and the more proficient the employee becomes.
4. Chances of promotion- Employees acquire skills and efficiency during training. They
become more eligible for promotion. They become an asset for the organization.
5. Increased productivity- Training improves efficiency and productivity of employees.
Well trained employees show both quantity and quality performance. There is less
wastage of time, money and resources if employees are properly trained.
● To improve interpersonal skills and to make the organisation a better place to work.
● To improve quality.
In general “research” can be termed as an inquiry in to the nature of, the reason for, and the
consequences of any particular set of circumstances. It is the process of finding solution for a
problem after a thorough study and analysis of the situation factors. It tries to solve complex and
complicated problem through use of various tools and techniques. These tools and techniques try
to bring out a logical, accurate and scientific solution to given problems. “METHODOLOGY” as
the name suggests is the method through which the problem or situation is tackled. Managers in
organization constantly engaged themselves in studying and analyzing issues and hence are
involved in some form of research activity as they make decisions at the work place. It involves a
lot of factors like research design, sample size, segment, and techniques of sampling, tools used
etc all these steps and factors put together to bring out a clear and accurate result.The research
16
methodology adopted for the present study has been systematic and was done in accordance to
the objectives set, which has been discussed in the earlier pages.
1.5.2.1POPULATION:
Population or universe can be defined as the complete set of items, which are of interest in any
particular situation in case of population data is collected from each and every unit.
1.5.2.2TARGET RESPONDENTS
The Target Respondents of this research are employees of Vinsinfo Pvt Ltd. The Respondents
are from lower level to higher level professionals. The number of companies available, in the
defined population is its size.
1.5.2.4SAMPLE SIZE
An important decision that has to be taken is adopting the sampling technique is about the size of
the sample. Size of the sample means the number of sampling units selected from the population
for investigation. It answers, “How many people should be surveyed. Sample Size is 167.
1.5.3DATA DESIGN
Data is a gathered body of facts. It is the central thread of any condition or activity.
Understanding the nature of data is most basic for proper and effective use of statistical skills
PRIMARY DATA
Primary data consist of original information collected for specific purpose. This project relied on
the employees. Structured undisguised questionnaire was used to collect the primary data.
Telephone survey was used for this purpose.
SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data consists of information that already exists somewhere having been collected for
some other purpose. The secondary data is obtained from the company data base, text books,
Internet and Journals.
1.5.4QUESTIONNAIRE CONSTRUCTING
In constructing questionnaire, care was taken to investigate the difficulties that the
respondent may Face while answering them. It was prepared keeping in view the objective of the
study. During the Constructing care was taken to avoid questions, his may lead to relevant
information. The Questions were arranged in a logical or/sensible sequence.
The questionnaire consists of a variety of questions presented to the employees for their
response. Dichotomous questions,multiple-choice questions and rating scale were used in
constructing the questionnaire.
1.5.4.1TYPE OF QUESTIONNAIRE
The type of questionnaire used in this study are Closed Format Questions
PILOT SURVEY
A pilot survey was conducted in order to discover the shortcoming schedules and
Corresponding Changes were made before journal survey. Based on this some of the
Questions are modified in order to get the predictable response.

Weighted average = Σ WX
ΣX
Here,
XW represents the weighted average
“X1, X2, X3……….Xn” represents the value for variable values
“W1, W2, W3………Wn” represents the weight age given to the variable.

Chi – Square Analysis
Chi – square analysis in statistics to test the goodness of fit to verify the distribution of observed
data With assumed theoretical distribution. Therefore, it is a measure to the divergence of actual
and Expected frequencies. It makes no assumptions about the population being sampled. The
quantity χ2 (Chi-square) describes the magnitude of discrepancy between theory and
observation. If χ2 is zero, it Means that the observed and expected frequency completely
coincides. The greater the value of χ2, The greater would be the discrepancy between observed
and expected frequencies.
(O-E) 2
χ2 =
E
The calculated value of χ2 us compared with the table of χ2 for given degrees of freedom at
specified level of Significance. If the calculated value of χ2 is greater than the value then the
difference between theory and observation is considered to be significant. On the other hand, if
the calculated value of χ2 less than the table value then the difference between theory and
observation is not considered to be significant. The degrees of freedom is (n – 1) where ‘n’ is
number of observed frequencies.
CORRELATION ANALYSIS
Correlation analysis is the statistical tool used to measure the degree to which two variables are
linearly related to each other. Correlation measures the degree of association between two
variables.
21
ONE-WAY ANOVA
The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine whether there are any
statistically significant differences between the means of three or more independent (unrelated)
groups.
● The survey was taken from middle and lower level management only.
● Some of the employees were not able to answering their questions because of their lack
of interest to share their opinions.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1CONCEPTUAL REVIEW:
TRAINING:
Goldstein (1993) defines training as a systematic acquisition of skills, rules, concepts or
attitudes that results in improved performance in another environment. Flippo (1976) defines
training as the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular
job. He further states that “no firm has a choice of whether to train or not; the only choice is that
of method” Hinrichs Bramley (1991) defines training as any organizationally initiated procedure,
23
which is intended to foster learning among organizational members in a direction contributing
for organizational effectiveness. The new training cycle which is an endless belt of training and
development shows how validation is intrinsically linked to design and delivery, evaluation is
linked to objectives and outcomes, and results linked to the organizational needs (Reeves,
1994). A broader definition still focuses on the extent to which training “meets its objectives”.
Descy and Westphalen (1998) define this more precisely as training that “meets its objectives as
defined by its funding body”. Although employee training has become more prevalent today than
15 years ago, many companies conduct training simply for appearance sake (Hughey &
Mussnug, 1997), instead of focusing on adult learning and development (Wills, 1994;
Hollenback & Ingols, 1990; Humphrey, 1990; Kolb’s, 1984), experiential learning (Whetten
& Clark, 1996); and cognitive abilities (Carter, 2002).Productivity was linked to training in
the following five ways. Productivity was a central focus of the training. Participants were taught
how to create productivity measures as part of the Training. Participants were taught how to use
productivity data as performance feedback. Participants wrote a productivity action plan which
included tracking productivity and reporting progress at a follow-up session. Individual
productivity measures were put in place as part of the productivity action plan.
EVALUATION OF TRAINING:
Evaluation measures the extent to which programs, processes, or tools achieve the purpose
for which they were intended.Cronbach described evaluation as the process by which a society
learns, whether personal and impressionistic or systematic and comparatively objective (Torres,
Preskill, & Piontek,1996). In this review, evaluation is defined as a study designed and
conducted to assist some audience To assess an object’s merit and worth (Stufflebeam, 2001).
One major model of evaluation was identified. This model, developed by Kirkpatrick in
1952, remains widely used today (ASTD, 1997). The model includes four levels of
measurement to assess Reaction, Learning, Behavior, and Results as related to specific
training. Reaction - how well the trainees liked the training program Learning-determination of
what knowledge, attitudes, and skills were learned in the training. Behavior- Relationship of
24
learning (the previous measurement level) to the actualization of doing. Kirkpatrick recognized a
big difference between knowing principles and techniques and using those principles and
techniques on the job. Results-Expected outcomes of most educational training programs such as
reduced costs, reduced turnover and absenteeism, reduced grievances, improved profits or
morale, and increased quality and quantity of production (Kirkpatrick, 1971).
Warr et al. (1999) suggested that the levels in the Kirkpatrick Model may be interrelated. He
Investigated six trainee features and one organizational characteristic that might predict
outcomes at each measurement level. The six trainee features studied were learning
motivation, confidence about the learning task, learning strategies, technical qualifications,
tenure, and age.
The reaction level was assessed using the data gathered after the training that asked about
enjoyment of the training, perceptions of the usefulness of the training, and the perceptions of
the difficulty of the training. Warr et al. (1999) reported the relationship of the six individual
trainee features and one organizational feature as predictors of each evaluation level. At level
one, all reaction measures were strongly predicted by motivation of the participants prior to
training. At level two, motivation, confidence, and strategy significantly predicted measures of
learning change. Learning level scores that reflected changes were strongly predicted by reaction
level scores. Findings suggested a possible link between reactions and learning that could be
identified with the use of more differentiated indicators at the reaction level. At level three,
trainee confidence and transfer support significantly predicted job behavior. Transfer support
was a part of the organizational feature of transfer climate. Transfer support was the amount
of support given by supervisors and colleagues for the application of the training material.
Warr et al. suggested that an investigation into the pretest scores might explain reasons for
the behavior and generate Organizational improvements.
25
Bramley and Newby (1984) identify five main purposes of evaluation: feedback (linking learning
outcomes to objectives, and providing a form of quality control), control (using
evaluation to make links from training to organizational activities, and to consider cost
effectiveness), research (determining relationships between learning, training, transfer to the
job), intervention (in which the results of the evaluation influence the context in which it is
occurring), and power games (manipulating evaluative data for organizational politics).
Burgoyne and Cooper (1975) and Snyder et al. (1980) discuss evaluation in terms of
feedback and the resultant issue of control. A decision must be made about how and to whom
evaluation feedback will be given. Evaluators are usually conversant with the purpose of the
evaluation once they commence it, but this may be because they have a generalized view that
the purpose of evaluation is to produce a certain set of data, or because they have determined
what purpose the client wishes the evaluation to have. It is possible however that an evaluator
may have no specific purpose. The identification of unanticipated side effects of the program
may be an important evaluative purpose.
Marshall and Schriver suggested that many trainers misinterpreted the Kirkpatrick Model
and believed that an evaluation for knowledge was the same as testing for skills. Because
skills and knowledge were both included in level two of the Kirkpatrick Model, evaluators
assumed skills were tested when only knowledge was tested. As a result, Marshall and
Schriver recommended a five-step model that separated level two of the Kirkpatrick Model
into two steps. The five-step model included the following: Measures of attitudes and feelings
Paper and pencil measures of knowledge Performance demonstration measures of skills and
knowledge Skills transfer, behavior modification measured by job observation Organizational
impact measurement of cost savings, problems corrected, and other outcome measures
Bushnell (1990) also created a modification to the Kirkpatrick Model by identifying a four-
step process of evaluation. Bushnell’s model included evaluation of training from the
development through the delivery and impact.
26
Step one involved the analysis of the System Performance Indicators that included the trainee’s
qualifications, instructor abilities, instructional materials, facilities, and training dollars.
Step two involved the evaluation of the development process that included the plan, design,
Development, and delivery.
Step three involves trainees’ reactions, knowledge and skills gained, and improved job
performance.
Step four involves Outcomes which were defined as profits, customer satisfaction, and
productivity.
With the advancement of training into the electronic age and the presentation of training
programs electronically, evaluation of these types of programs is also necessary.Although the
Kirkpatrick Model has been applied for years to the traditional face to-face educational and
technical training, recently the model was applied to non- traditional electronic learning. Horton
(2001) published Evaluating E-Learning in which he discussed the application of the Kirkpatrick
Model to evaluate e-learning.
EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING:
Erlendsson (2002) defines effectiveness as the extent to which objectives are met (“doing the
right things”). Engaging in the measurement of educational effectiveness creates a value-
added process through quality assurance and accreditation review, and contributes to
building, within the institution, a culture of evidence (Vlãsceanu, Grünberg & Pârlea,
2004).
Wojtczak (2002) defines effectiveness in the context of medial education as a measure of the
extent to which a specific intervention, procedure, regimen, or service, when deployed in the
field in routine circumstances, does what is intended to do for a specified population. In the
health field, it is a measure of “output” from those health services that contribute towards
27
reducing the dimension of a problem or improving an unsatisfactory situation.
West (1999) argues that in relation to training, as opposed to education, one way of looking
at the issue of effectiveness is in terms of whether there are “identifiable economic
outcomes”. A broader definition still focuses on the extent to which training “meets its
objectives”.
Descy and Westphalen (1998) define this more precisely as training that “meets its
objectives as defined by its funding body”. This is a useful definition since it is undoubtedly
the funding body that ultimately decides whether or not training will be made available.
Whilst this is a useful test, there are two points to bear in mind. First, it is not always the case
that the funders’ precise objectives are transparent, although their general aims may be;
Second, whilst the funders may have objectives, it is only by relating the extent to which
these are perceived to have been met by the various stakeholders (e.g. individuals,
enterprises) that one can really understand the extent to which the training has been
effective. There may also be unintended consequences of training that aid an individual’s
employability, for example, improving “soft skills” such as an individual’s self-esteem,
motivation or ability to work in a team.
Saiyadain and Juhary (1995) conducted a study on managerial training in Malaysia and
their findings on training effectiveness showed that most organizations seem to lack the
formal mechanisms to access training effectiveness. They suggested that top management
attitude was important for training to be effective. Since the introduction of Tyler’s (1942)
evaluation model, many other models have emerged,each reflecting the evaluation requirements
of its time. McCoy and Hargie (2001) list some existing models: Goal-free evaluation (Scriven,
1967), Campbell’s (1969) scientific approach, illuminative evaluation (Parlett & Hamilton,
1977),utilization-focused evaluation (Patton, 1986), the responsive mode that takes into account
environmental and stakeholders needs (Cronbach, Ambron, Dornbusch, Hess, Hornik, Phillips,
28
Walker & Weiner,1980), fourth generation evaluation (Guba & Lincoln, 1989) and
realistic evaluation(Pawson & Tilley, 1997). Goal-based and systems-based approaches are
predominantly used in the evaluation of training (Philips, 1991). Various frameworks for
evaluation of training programs have been proposed under the influence of these two approaches.
Bramley (1991) suggests that it is integral to the cycle and has the key role of quality control
of the cycle by providing feedbacks on:
(1) The effectiveness of the method used;
(2) The achievement of the objectives set by trainers and trainees;
(3) The needs originally identified, both at organizational and individual levels, have been met.
The conceptualization by Gupta (2007) highlights the scope of an effective training programme.
1. First, it should be designed with clear scope and objectives. In this case the training
needs assessment (TNA) exercise should be conducted to establish skill gap and
performance standards.
2. Second, it should have proper reinforcements to continuously improve the
performance capability of an individual employee; this is supported by Skinner’s
behavioral modification model which stipulates that ‘when behavior is repeatedly
rewarded, it becomes permanent part of one’s personality.
3. It should be role-specific and involve practice; it helps employees do their present
jobs better and skills that are practiced often are better learned and less easily
forgotten.
4. An effective T&D function should be carefully planned in terms of reading materials,
learning Duration and instructors.
5. It should be transparent to all employees at all levels. Employees should be aware of
selection criteria of trainees and trainers, preparation of relevant teaching materials, training
room and accommodation of courses and actual conduction of courses. They feel responsive
to training programmes when they are well informed. Lastly, it should be evaluated.
29
Training consumes both organization’s time and money, therefore it is important to determine
how well it was conducted (i.e. trainees feedback). Evaluation reports establish whether the
organization has derived more-or-less the same value from the amount of money and time
invested in the programme.
Terry L.Leap & Michale D.Crino(1990) training is the most important fundamental
activity in any organization to build or improve the Human Resources. It enriches the skills,
expand the knowledge and give meaning to the work. The individual workers and the staff
progress in their career only if they are able to integrate the component “Training” in their
work life.
John Humble(1998) says “The human resources are as important as money, market
and physical products”. For all these components are interrelated and the effectiveness of any
of these is closely associated with the other. A survey conducted by Tysonetal, 1995 came to
the conclusion that Employee’s skills and abilities are seen to be the sources of competitive
advantage. It is important for the personnel function to contribute to the development of these
competencies through training and development practices.
TRAINING SKILLS:
A guide for supervisors by Robert W. Lucas 2005
A model for effective training
1. Develop a systematic approach to training using a formal eight phase model for
finding out the effectiveness.
2. Set effective goals and objective with your employee development.
3. Identify resources for employee development
4. Construct with your employees an action plan for employee training.
The training Process Model to access the effectiveness(TPM).
As with any other successful initiative the author gives this model for effective training,
supervisors need to use a systematic process when training. This is necessary to accurately
assess whether the training has reached the particular employee to the maximum and
develop strategies for continued improvement. The TPM is designed to provide the
organization and the employees a vehicle of success.
Phase 1: establish training goals
Phase 2: collect performance data
Vor K. Davies has rightly said, “It is advisable to use as many strategies as one
can conveniently employs when evaluating training”. If tests are used it is important that they
are “valid and reliable” and “criterion referenced”. Evaluation of training programme, to be
effective, must focus not only on areas for improving but methods that could be used in order
that objectives and results coincide with needs, at the lowest possible costs. This is a long
process, where care has to be taken at every step to be specific, and to collect only
information that is vital for productive evaluation.
Spiegelberg4, Emma Joh of Boston University under the title “An analysis of training and
human resources needs of employees in small businesses, industries and public service agencies
in the state of Wyoming” in October 1990 emphasized knowledge of work ethics, business
ethics, language and communication skills and planning skills, interpersonal and teamwork
skills, and personal management skills were reported to the most important for business
industries and public service agencies. There were significantly positive correlations with respect
to job skills and knowledge between their perceived importances to the success of the business.
According to Moritiz5, Gunter H, of Pennsylvania state university under the title “An assessment
of Human Resources career development programs in the private and public enterprises of Blair
country” in the year 1992, revealed that managers indicates career development interventions
helped their companies productivity, decreased employee turnover rate and identified employee
career options other than vertical mobility. The study recommended that companies make
additional resources available to implement career development programs to enhance skills of
their employees. The study undertaken by Savan Milan6 of the union for experimenting college
and university under the title ‘The effects of leadership training program on supervisory learning
and performance’,1983 revealed participants in training group exhibited a significant
improvement in supervisory job performance scores high six months after the training program,
while the control group did not. Educational level has no measurement effect on improvement
34
scores for leadership dimension. According to Sanjeev Narang7 (May 2002) the effectiveness of
training function is heavily dependent upon effectiveness of processes used to identify training
needs are evidently confessed from the training.
Evaluation of the training to adopt a strategy approach to all business processes, the training
function is increasingly required to justify the cost and benefit of the each training programme
(Rao December 2005) 8 Rao (October 2002) 9 urged on the quality of the trainer, which makes
the trainee to inculcate a changed outlook about the effects of training. Endres and Keliner
(1990) 10 suggested multidimensional on-the-job evaluation, including feedback from the
participant, his or her subordinates, and peers. The other factors can impact the effectiveness of
training and developments are managed, the trainer, the organization and the environment.
Literature has been developed on the subject of training and it is worthwhile to take note of
these before setting the objectives of the present study.
A study on Montesano T.M11, of Western Michigan University under the title “Study of
support for transfer and the alignment of the training with the strategic direction of the
organization”(1995) indicates that out of the four hypotheses tested a low-to-moderate positive
correlation between the perceived alignments of training with the strategic direction of the
organization. It also identified the presence of practices to support transfer of training and a
positive correlation between awareness and commitment to that strategic direction for both
trainees and managers. The findings showed the importance of linking training to the strategic
goals of the organization.Many studies were undertaken for transfer of learning in relation to
training. Transfer is an extremely widespread phenomenon, playing a part in almost every
instance of learning. The knowledge and skills acquired throughout life tend to be cumulative, so
that an adult will rarely be required to learn anything completely new. (Dennis12) According to
Tukiana13, the utility of a training intervention is the extent to which its use improves the
performance of those trained. Performance in turn may be defined in at least three ways:
35
(a) the proportion of individuals or teams who are considered successful; (b) the average
standard score on one or more relevant measures of job performance; or (c) the dollar pay off to
the organization resulting from the use of a particular training intervention.Antheil and Casper
(1986)14, state that participant reaction is a measure of ‘satisfaction indicating the level of
effectiveness and usefulness of the training programme at the time of participants experiencing it
and sometimes weeks or even months afterward.Kirkpatrick 15 (1979) terms of the job behavior
is more difficult than the reaction learning evaluation. His suggested framework to evaluate
training programmes in terms of behavioral changes is a useful tool for any research. Subelade
and Chris harman conducted a research on “linking training to HR strategy”. It serves d as
review and a theoretical framework for future research. The research offers some practical advice
for developing an effective bond between training and the HR development. Black, j.stewart and
mendon hall conducted a research on cross cultural training effectiveness. The research suggests
that cultural training has a positive effect on skill development, situation adjustment and job
performance on an individual. Williams conducted study on continues professional
development.CPD is about taking charge of one learning and development. It is a process to
assist with identifying where you are now, where you want to get to and planning how to get
there. It is a process to give recognition to all forms of learning that adds to the development and
currency of a professional. Leach & James characteristics of excellent trainers based on a
psychological and interpersonal profile. They indicated that personal characteristics of excellent
trainers are different from the general population and that young trainers are more aggressor as
compare to the more matured ones. Garry Platt analyzed training’s contribution to the
organization. His findings suggested that training contribute not only to the bottom line but also
the core of the business. According to Monappa and Saidiyan “Training refers to the
teaching/learning activities carried on for the primary purpose of each member of an
organization to acquire and supply the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed by that
organization”Since it is a continuous process, it does not stop anywhere. The managers are
continuously engaged in training their subordinates. They should ensure that any training
programme should attempt to bring about positive changes in the knowledge, skills, and attitudes
36
of the workers. The term training indicates the process involved in improving the aptitudes, skills
and abilities of the employees to perform specific jobs. Training therefore helps not only update
the talents/knowledge but also helps to develop new one.
The word “TRAINING” consist of eight letters, to each of which could be attributed some
significant meaning in the following manner.
T – Talents and Tenacity [strong determination]
R – Reinforcement [something positive to be reinforced into memory and system again and
again, until it becomes a spontaneous affair]
A – Awareness [with which one can easily take long strides of progress]
I – Interest [which is invariably accompanied by excitement and enthusiasm]
N – Novelties [the new things, the like of which would sustain our interest and fill our hearts
with thrills and sensations]
I – Intensity [the training instilled into the trainees mind must acquire experience oriented
intensity]
N – Nurturing [it does refer to incessant nurturing of talents, which otherwise would remain
latent and dormant]
G – Grip [a fine grip over the situation solves multiple problems and enables one to acquire a
practical and pragmatic approach along with all tricks and tactics to achieve success after success
in one’s endeavors].
What is Training?
Training is the act of increasing the knowledge of an employee for doing a particular job.-Edwin
B Flippo]
Lunton and Pareek (1985) in their study suggested some assumption of training:The acquisition
of subject matter, knowledge by the participant leads to action The participant learns what the
trainer teaches. Learning is a simple function of the capacity of the participant to learn and the
ability of the trainer to teach. Goldstein (1987) observed that training has begin with the
assessment of training needs. It has to be based on the empirical basis of learning process
influenced by the environment requirement of the trainee. He also offers various institutional
approaches such as experimental control proceeds and programme instruction procedure.
Gaertner and Nollen (1989) in their study on “Level of Organization Commitment” identified
that commitment tended to be related to employee’s perceptions of organizational efforts to
provide them with training. Competence development practices (e.g., Job rotation programmes,
mentoring, and training) convey to employees that the organization considers human resources to
be a competitive advantage.
Jean (1989) in his study on “Evaluation on Training” identifies that the training evaluation
is always a challenging area especially when training a new recruiter because it is necessary
to have clear understanding of their baseline before the training starts, otherwise one cannot
be sure how far employees have progressed as a result to their participation in training.
Therefore, return on investment works much better when a full training need analysis is
38
undertaken at the beginning of the work.
William James (1998, P.18) of Harvard University reports that employee could retain
their jobs by working at 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 percent of
their capabilities. Behavioral science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity
could well be used for such improvement through the effective and efficient use of learning
resources.
Jack Welch (1999, P.21) Companies can't promise lifetime employment, but by
constant training and education we may be able to guarantee lifetime employability.
Organization and individual should develop and progress simultaneously for their survival
and attainment of mutual goals. So every modern management has to develop the
organization through human resource development. Employee training is the important sub-
system of human resource development. Employee training is a specialized function and is
one of the fundamental operative functions for human resources management.
C. K. Prahalad (1997 P.8) says that mentoring requires special skills, but it does
not require hierarchical position. After an employee is selected, placed and introduced he or
she must be provided with by training facilities. Training is the act of increasing the
knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job. Training is a short-term
educational process and utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which employees
learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. Dale S.
Beach (1996 P.14) define the training as “The organized procedure by which people
39
learn knowledge and /or skill for a definite purpose”. In other words, training improves changes
and molds the employee’s knowledge, skill behavior and aptitude and attitude towards the
requirements of the job and the organization. Training refer to the teaching and learning
activities carried on for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire
and apply the knowledge, skill, abilities and attitudes needs by a particular job and organization.
Robert Haas (1994 P.17) suggest that “You can't train anybody to do anything that he or
she doesn't#39;t fundamentally believe in”. Training needs are identified on the basis of
organizational analysis, job analysis and man analysis. Training programme, training methods
and course content are to be planned on the basis of training needs. Training needs are those
aspects necessary to perform the job in an organization in which employee is lacking
attitude/aptitude, knowledge, and skill. Training needs = Job and organizational requirement
Employee specifications. Robert Louis Stevenson says it was a world almost without a feature;
an empty sky, and empty earth; front and back the line of railway stretched from horizon to
horizon, like a cue across a billiard-board.
RESEARCH PAPERS:
TRAINING AND DEVELOPING A WORK FORCE
Singara (edition 2001): This paper is a guide to companies when executing the training of a new
workforce. The researcher shows how job training is crucial for the workers as well as for the
corporations.He indicates that companies are paying more attention to the training and
development then to recruiting. There are many changes that are being made to the process of
training and developing a new work force mainly towards developing existing skills and
acquiring new ones. The paper examines several factors that affect this process such as:
government intervention, wages, diversity, globalization...and much more

EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Veerabathra (Edition 2002): This paper looks at employee training as a means of improving an
organization and making it more cost-effective. It defines the different types of training, includin
technical, literal, video, and other types of training used to fulfill the needs of both employer and
employee.
EFFECTIVE TRAINING
Akshara (Edition 2003): An effective training system would integrate several different processes
in order to achieve the objective of a proper training. The first step in any sort of training would
be identifying the desired level of knowledge in a measurable form. The next step would be
listing out the various qualifications or competencies necessary for taking part in any training
system to produce the desired results. After this the trainee would have to undertake the
necessary research steps by sourcing materials and other requirements for the training method to
function at its best.
TRAINING
Chamy (Edition 2004): This paper reports on a study to verify whether training can help
organizations and uses a questionnaire to collect empirical data. The author points out that the
survey will help identify specific benefits and trends because organizations, like people, have
their own individuality and style, and no blue print can be considered a universal fit for all
organizations. The paper relates that replacing a skilled and trained employee can be very
expensive for an organization in terms of time and money; therefore, organizations are
increasingly using training and higher education options in their benefits packages to obtain and
retain talent in the organization.
41
EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Ashwanthi (Edition 2006): This paper looks at the methods of and motivation for employee
training in the service industries, such as hotels and restaurants. The paper begins with an
exhaustive overview of the term training, including a detailed recitation of Carter
McNamara's six-point rationale for training in "Employee Training and
Development: Reasons and Benefits." The author also provides background information
about the importance of good trainers and training techniques.
BOOKS:
Training is more about knowing where we stand at present and to have a vision of where we
are going to be in the future. It is when we have set goals and don’t know how to proceed; it is
when we want something in life to achieve and don’t know how to reach there and it is what we
are dreaming for and how we have to acquire the knowledge to live up to our dreams. Thus
providing training opportunities is a key to promote an organization, which will support an
individual for his lifelong learning, and to work efficiently in their respective departments.
DEFINITIONS:
G.SUBRAMANYAM defined training as, "The trainees shall acquire new manipulative
skills, technical knowledge, problem solving ability or attitude so that they are better adjusted to
their work environment to achieve the organizational and individual goals ".

CHAPTER 5
5.2 SUGGESTIONS
● Training is being given more focus at VINSINFO PVT LTD T & D LTD, however for
better and efficient practices training related to employees career and personal –
retirement planning, personality development are needed and they have to be
implemented.
● Since majority of the respondents are from the technical Background, they may be well
trained with hard skills, it is necessary for training them in soft skills too.
● Union employees must be allowed to have frequent training programs than the
Managerial level employees, which will result in a better working environment
● Company’s training policy is well designed yet more adequacy is required in areas of
1) Training need and trainee identification and selection process
2) Duration of training
● Though internal trainers are efficient, external trainers have to be bought in, for better and
efficient practices, and wide- understanding.
● New and better modes of training like business games, audio-visual training, and demos
have to be implemented.
98
● New modes of training can be implemented (for e.g. E-training can be used for middle
level people as it saves time and this would enhance the Management to concentrate on
the Operations Employees
● Since VINSINFO PVT LTD has majority of its aged employees ,special training has to
be given to them in areas of both job and career and life aspects (E.g. retirement
planning)
● The Department Heads should assess the Training and development needs of
subordinates. This may increase increase the levels of training effectiveness by the
enhancement of good inter- personal relationship.
● The training circular form can also include a brief introduction about subject for which
the training programme has been organized so that the participants are able to understand
the topics being covered in the training program in advance
● One of the most challenging parts of employee training and development programs is
finding ways to apply lessons learned to real situations. It can be difficult to translate
what we learn in a lecture or a role-playing game into practice in everyday life, so it is
essential to integrate practical examples into the training. For instance, if an organization
is trying to expand team building activities at the moment, brainstorm can be used for
possible ideas in small groups. If viable solutions are found during the training session,
follow-up for participants to implement their ideas should be done. Henceforth,
Management of VINSINFO PVT LTD has to start practicing their employees with real
life applications for a better and positive work environment
99
5.3CONCLUSION
It has often been said that a successful business operation, regardless of its size, depends on the
effective management of “people, products, and processes.” Of the three, it is the Human
Resource department that is the most important. The demand from employers for specialized
employee training is enormous. Human resources comprise a company’s most important asset.
These employees execute various tasks and input their contributions to choose the people who
will eventually ensure the delivery of high quality products and services. Thus,Training and
development helps the growth of a business.
VINSINFO PVT LTD has a clear focus on having a well-motivated and trained workforce. The
company needs to have motivated and confident staff who have up-to-date skills in order to
remain competitive. In addition, well-trained staffs are an asset to the business and help to retain
customers. Well-trained staffs who remain with the business mean that customers enjoy
continuity. This contributes to customer loyalty and leads to repeat business. Staffs who feel
valued stay longer in a company. This means that VINSINFO PVT LTD’ costs of recruitment
can be reduced, resulting in cost savings across the organization. The suggestions can be
implemented for a better working environment for both the management and employees.
