Training and Development
Process under TSF
I. Introduction
Historical Perspective
TSF's journey began in the post-independence era of India
when the nation was undergoing significant economic
reforms. The footwear industry, known for its labor-intensive
nature, offered an opportunity for employment and economic
development in regions like Agra. With an initial focus on
traditional craftsmanship and locally-sourced materials, TSF
set its roots in Agra, contributing to the economic growth of
the region and the legacy of Indian shoemaking.
Company Vision and Growth
Over the years, TSF has steadily evolved, aligning itself with
modern manufacturing practices and global market trends.
The company's vision expanded beyond local markets,
reaching national and international customers. This growth
was not just about quantity but also quality, as TSF garnered a
reputation for producing footwear that seamlessly combined
comfort, style, and durability.
Company Background
The Tej Shoe Factory (TSF), nestled in the vibrant city of
Agra, boasts a rich heritage in the footwear manufacturing
industry. Established several decades ago, TSF has
consistently upheld its mission of crafting quality footwear,
becoming a trusted name synonymous with excellence. Agra,
a city renowned for its historical significance and intricate
craftsmanship, provides an ideal backdrop for a company like
TSF, deeply ingrained in the art of shoemaking.
8. Cross-Training Programs
- Objective: Allowing employees to gain experience in
different roles within the company, fostering a more versatile
and adaptable workforce.
2. E-Learning:
- Online Courses: Web-based courses that employees can
access and complete at their own pace.
- Video-Based Learning: Training delivered through video
modules, which can include demonstrations and simulations.
- Webinars: Live or recorded web-based seminars for
remote learning and collaboration.
3. Blended Learning:
- Combines various training methods, such as a mix of in-
person and online learning, to provide a comprehensive
training experience.
4. On-the-Job Training (OJT):
- Employees learn while performing their regular job tasks
under the guidance of a mentor or supervisor.
7. Peer Learning:
- Employees learn from and with their peers through group
discussions, sharing experiences, and collaborative projects.
8. Self-Directed Learning:
- Employees take responsibility for their own learning,
choosing when, what, and how to learn, often through access
to resources and materials.
9. Mobile Learning:
- Training content is accessible via mobile devices, allowing
employees to learn on-the-go.
12. Gamification:
- Applying game design elements to non-game contexts to
enhance engagement and motivation in training.
13. Microlearning:
- Delivering content in small, easily digestible units,
making learning efficient and accessible.
The choice of training delivery method at TSF should depend
on the specific training needs, the preferences of the
workforce, and the nature of the content being delivered. A
combination of these methods can also be used to create a
comprehensive and effective training program.
VI. Employee Development Initiatives
8. Leadership Development
- Leadership training programs identify and develop potential
leaders within the organization, ensuring a strong leadership
pipeline for the future.
3. Employee Feedback
- Objective: Employees are encouraged to provide
feedback on training programs, offering insights into their
satisfaction and perceived effectiveness.
7. Time-to-Competency Metrics
- Objective: Tracking the time it takes for employees to
reach full competency in their roles after training, with
shorter durations indicating more effective training.
9. 360-Degree Feedback
- Objective: Collecting feedback from peers, subordinates,
and supervisors to gauge the impact of training on
teamwork, communication, and leadership skills.
3. Resource Constraints
Challenge: Allocating sufficient resources for training,
including time, budget, and personnel, can be a constraint.
Solution: TSF conducts cost-benefit analyses to justify
investments in training. It also leverages technology for cost-
effective e-learning solutions, and cross-training helps in
optimizing resource allocation.
4. Resistance to Change
Challenge: Employees may resist changes in their work
routines, especially when adopting new technologies or
processes introduced through training.
Solution: TSF emphasizes the benefits of training and seeks
employee input in the training design process to foster
ownership. Communication and support during transitions
help reduce resistance.
2. Microlearning
Trend: Bite-sized, easily digestible training modules.
Rationale: Microlearning accommodates busy schedules,
promotes knowledge retention, and aligns with modern
attention spans.
3. AI and Personalized Learning Paths
Trend: Artificial intelligence algorithms that tailor training
content to individual employee needs.
Rationale: Personalized learning maximizes the effectiveness
of training by addressing specific skill gaps and preferences.
9. Gamification
Trend: Incorporating game elements in training to increase
engagement and motivation.
Rationale: Gamification makes learning more enjoyable and
encourages healthy competition and achievement.
10. Reskilling and Upskilling
Trend: A growing focus on preparing employees for roles of
the future and upskilling to match evolving job requirements.
Rationale: Reskilling and upskilling are essential to keep up
with changing industry demands and maintain a skilled
workforce.
