ABSTRACT
One of the weakest sections of LG Electronics is the employees working here
has a very less or negligible awareness about the products LG owns and
manufactures.
The principle objective of this project is to select an appropriate sampling unit,
and prepare questionnaires, conduct group interviews, organize quiz to study the
Employee’s awareness on their own products.

To meet the objective, the foremost thing to be done is gaining the insight
awareness of various LG products with Product Training Team providing SSE
Management(Strong Sell-out Excellence).
Awareness part includes various features, models of products, price range,
technical specification, benefits and USP(Unique Selling Prepositions) of products.
After being trained survey was conducted to evaluate awareness level of employees.

INTRODUCTION

Employee Awareness is comprised of many elements. Sense of employee awareness is


to increase a level of knowledge among the staff about the main factors concerning
their activities, so everyone can feel a satisfactory level of informative support from the
organization.
In manufacturing industry, knowledge and trained workers are critical and retention
of such employees is essential for the organizations to ensure consistent growth.
Product Training Program allows product marketers to dynamically interact with
employees to build greater product awareness and knowledge and to effectively
reinforce key propositions. A more effective sales force almost always results in
increased sales and greater market share.

Importance of Employee Awareness

Making employees constantly aware of their current statuses, value they make for the
organization, contribution they add to the overall corporate success, their professional
future, expectations set upon them, and other matters, can be an intricate task as all
these things should be integrated within one effective policy. Let’s consider some of
key components forming up such a policy:

• Involvement: Employees really need to be involved into the processes of


decision-making, work planning, and other things which influence their working
activities immediately. The better they are involved into workflow of their
organization or units, the better they feel their responsibility and ownership
upon results of their work.
• Surveys: All people like when they are proposed to express & explain their
opinions. Surveying your employees on specific organizational or business
questions is a way to better your business performance and demonstrate to your
employees that you really listen to their voice, so they can stay aware that their
opinions are valued.

9
• Updates: It is necessary to make employee awareness on-going. Everyone
needs to be in touch with the recent business news, updates upon important
events, progress upon projects, and other corporate achievements.
• Feedbacks: Employees need to keep abreast of actions that their organization
performs to better their working environment, facilitate their tasks, and realize
their practical suggestions collected via surveys.

Ways to Improve Employee Awareness Program

1. Find out what interests your audience. Recognize that the reason awareness
programs are required is that typically while the information you are providing
is important, it falls beyond the interest level of the intended audience.
2. Make your material relevant. The people you do reach often are unable to
immediately see how to apply it to their situation.
3. Use attention-grabbing headlines and be brief. People have too much to do and
ever shortening attention spans.
4. Use compelling content. Policy documents are not compelling.

5. Improve your measures of success. Reading an information item or attending a


session on its own does not constitute a successful program.
6. Identify the steps to success. Getting people to read a well crafted invitation is
just as much of a success towards a the overall program as any other security
awareness activity they might participate in.

7. Make awareness on going. Maintaining employee awareness is like maintaining


good health. One meal or one week at the gym does not make you healthy for
very long. Organization need constant maintenance and so does your awareness
program

10
8. Ensure that you have support from the top. Managers need to see the relevance
themselves. If they don't "get it", they won't be supportive of your initiatives as
evidenced by not allowing staff the time to participate, or not funding activities.

9. Keep an eye out for changes in the way things are done. Changes to business
processes often represent an opportunity to insert awareness activities.

10. Keep up the momentum. Falling behind is a sure way to lose the interest of
employees who begin to look forward to your offerings

Problem Statement

Employee Awareness on products makes employee better spokesperson and hence


influences sales in the market. Moreover, it helps in gathering innovative and
productive ideas for improvement with the help of their valuable feedback. It is
important to find new and innovative ways to deliver internal marketing campaigns if
they are to have maximum impact with sales and support teams.
This study is undertaken to evaluate level of awareness of Sales and Marketing division
of LG Electronics India Limited - Area General Manager (AGM) and Executives of
different departments like – Sales, Industrial Design and IT.
This study will also propose ideas to improve level of awareness on products amongst
employees and hence improve their marketing skills.

NEED The FOR THE STUDY

1. company wanted to know to what extent the people were aware of their own
company products i.e. LG products. Hence this research was undertaken. The
company wanted to assess whether the present level of awareness is sufficient or not
and the medium of communication which was most effective in creating awareness.
Hence it’s need for this research.

11
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Primary Objective

To increase the level of awareness of LG products among LG employees.

Secondary Objective

• To make the employees better spokesperson within and outside the organization.

• To increase their purchasing power for buying the LG products for household
purpose
• To increase their work efficiency

• To gather innovative and productive ideas for improvement with the help of
their valuable feedback
• To keep them updated with the new features of the products

• To make them more competitive with the employees of rival companies

12
Scope of Work

This project is applicable to employees of various departments including- Corporate


Planning, Sales & Marketing, SSE Team, HR & MS. Following the review of survey
results, Human Resource leaders will work with upper management to develop action
plans based upon employee comments.
This has been done by preparing the questionnaire which contains questions put forth to
the prospective individual’s, which would help in analyzing awareness of employees
about various LG products.

The study would also help LG Electronics to direct their marketing efforts by
identifying customer preference and also the role of different media in creating
awareness.

13
Limitations

1. Survey is limited to small number of employees as it is not possible to reach all


the employees, hence the results may not be true for all the employees.
2. Lack of interest and motivation among the employees to gain the knowledge.

3. Validity & Reliability of the data obtained depends on the correctness of the
responses by the respondents
4. The time at the disposal of the researcher was limited and the size of the sample
comparing to the population was very less and hence it cannot be said to represent
the whole organization.

RESEARCH METHODOLGY

A proper research Methodology is imperative to derive meaningful inferences and


conclusions from the study. The Methodology followed for this study is as follows.

RESEARCH DESIGN

In this market survey, the design used is “descriptive” in nature. The information is
collected from the individuals and analyzed with the help of different statistical
techniques for describing the difference between pre-test results and post-test results. .
Anonymity of the respondents was ensured to get maximum participation.
50 responses were obtained and data was collected manually. The data was maintained
in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet is further analyzed. Subsequently, data was analyzed
graphically, supported statistically by averages and t-test.

DATA

Nature of Data

Sample Size

Since the number of permanent employees of LG Electronics is large in number,


I was unable to collect information from all individuals due to limitation of
time.Out of the total strength the sample taken amongst employees i.e. 50
Sampling Method

Simple Random sampling method is used. Mainly the employees that are in
Marketing or Sales & Distribution department are chosen because they are
required to know about their own products in order to know the customer
preferences and demands and hence increase Company’s sales

TOOLS USED

The data has been analyzed mainly by using the Percentage method supplemented by
appropriate charts and by T-test.
Percentage Analysis:-
This is a univariate analysis where the percentage of a particular factor with different
categories is calculated, in order to help one get fair an idea regarding the sample and
thereby that of the population.

t-Test Analysis:

Paired sample t-Test

The Paired-Samples T Test procedure compares the means of two variables for a
single group. The procedure computes the differences between values of the two
variables for each case and tests whether the average differs from 0. Paired Sample

37
Step 1: Stating the hypotheses:

Ho: md = 0

H1: md 0

The alternative is two-tailed and alpha = .05

Step 2: Check assumptions

The assumptions underlying the repeated samples t-test are similar to the one-sample
ttest but refer to the set of difference scores.
1. The observations are independent of each other

2. The dependent variable is measured on an interval scale

3. The differences are normally distributed in the population.

The measures are approximately interval scale numbers (self-report scores) and we
assume that each person's score has not been influenced by other people's scores. The
numbers look to have no major extremes or unusual distribution.
Step 3: Calculate test statistic

The output is given in above table. Detailed comments on the output follow.

Paired Samples Statistics:

Here, the variables being compared are identified, the Mean, N, Standard Deviation,
and Standard Error of the Mean for each variable is given.
Paired Sample Test:

The descriptive statistics for the difference between each pair of variables is given. The
mean difference of 5.378 is what is actually being tested against zero. Is this a large
number or a small number? Is this difference a real one or one that we could reasonably
expect due to chance alone?

38
Notice the 95% Confidence Interval values are also given here. We do not place much
emphasis on these in this unit. This information says that the true population mean lies
between -6.380 and 4.377 with a 95% probability.
Step 4: Evaluate the result

The result is significant t(50) = -10.89 , p = 0.000. We reject the null hypothesis in
favour of the alternative.
2
= (-10.89)²/ (-10.89)² + 50 = 0.703. So, 70.3% of the variability in the awareness
level can be achieved by training session.

Step 5: Interpret the result

2
A significant increase in awareness level occurred (t(50) = -10.89, p = 0.000, = .703)
in the target group after attending product training.
We have found strong evidence that Product Training enhances awareness level of LG
products in LG employees.

39
CONCLUSION
The aim of this study was to study and analyze the awareness level of employees on
own products before and after product training session.
The following box plot was drawn from minitab software:-

Following are the key findings:-

1. In this Box plot of Differences, H0 i.e. null hypothesis is away from area of 95%
Confidence Interval. Therefore, it is concluded that training is effective in increasing
awareness level of LG products amongst employees.

2. There is a highly significant improvement in awareness level.

40
SUGGESTIONS

There are a few recommendations which if implemented/considered can bring about


enhancements in the way employees build their product awareness level:
1. It is recommended that periodic product training sessions in branches as well as
corporate office should be conducted so as to keep employees updated. A dedicated
presentation or longer-term training on products is an ideal opportunity for getting the
message across
2. For enhancing employee awareness it is important to motivate them. Therefore, quiz
and tests should be conducted at regular intervals and motivate them by offering gifts
and prize for employee performing well in test and quiz.
3. Another way of increasing awareness level is giving demos of highly focused products
that will lasts forever in their mind.
4. Staff should be kept informed which new product of their organisation is launched via
presentations, e-mails, pamphlets.
5. Use of displays Use part of an existing notice board or create a dedicated one about
energy saving, or to inform staff how the campaign is going
6. Introduction of e-learning module is another good way of keeping employees
wellinformed. In this, an employee can login on organisation website using his/her
employee id and can give test comprising of product related questions. After giving test,
his/her score should be displayed along with correct answers.
