INTRODUCTION TO
TRAINING
&
DEVELOPMENT
“There is nothing training cannot do. Nothing is above its reach. It can turn
bad morals to good; it can destroy bad principles and recreate good ones; it can
lift men to angel-ship.”

-Mark Twain

Training is the most important activity, which plays an important role in the
development of human resources. To put the right man at the right place with the
trained personnel has become essential in today’s globalized market. No
organisation has a choice on whether or not to develop employees. Nowadays
training has become an important function of Human Resource Management.
Human Resources are the lifeblood of any organization. Only through well-
trained personnel, can an organization achieve its goals. Human Resource
Management refers to the policies, practices and systems that influence
employees’ behaviour, attitudes, and performance. Human resource practices
play a key role in attracting, motivating, rewarding and retaining employees.
Other human resource management practices include recruiting employees,
selecting employees, designing work, compensating employees and developing
good employer-employee relations. The importance placed on ‘Training’ is great
on comparison to other human resource management practices. To be effective,
training must play a strategic role in supporting the business. Increasingly,
training and development is playing an important and strategic role in the
economic success of business organizations. Business organizations recognize
that they now operate in a new global economy. It is an economy that involves
the use of advanced technologies and increased responsiveness to customers’
needs. Global economy requires greater and greater innovation and flexibility in
production, service delivery and market know-how. Business organizations
realize more than ever that employee knowledge gained through training and
development has become a strategic necessity and more and more the sources
of strategic advantage.

It is interesting to see how the terms training and development differ. Oxford
dictionary defines the two terms as follows:

Train: to instruct and discipline in or for some particular art, profession,


occupation or practice, to make proficient by such instruction and practice.

Develop: to unfold more fully, bring out all that is potentially contained in.

The basic difference between training and development is that 'Training' focuses
on specific job knowledge and skill is to be applied in the short run. On the
contrary, 'Development' focuses on broad knowledge and insights that may be
required for adaptation to environmental demands in future. It is a process by
means of which an individual attains overall improvement in ability and
competence, makes progress towards maturity and actualization of personality.
There needs to be a coherent and well-planned integration of training, and
continuous development in the organization if meaningful growth at individual
and organizational level is to be achieved and sustained. It is vital to make
training and development serve the ends of the business as well as promoting
the growth of individuals; and it is essential to think and act strategically instead
of continually reacting in an ad hoc fashion to the most obviously pressing
needs of the moment.Obviously, there is need for developing systematic
approach to training and development.

FEATURES OF TRAINING AND


DEVELOPMENT
Training isn’t a one size fits all, so there isn’t one simple answer, but there are a
few things that are consistently present in all the best training programs.

Below you’ll find the top characteristics that we’ve seen in the most successful
programs.
1. Effective program management - A high quality training
program starts with a person with a champion. We all call this
person the program manager. An ideal training program manager is
inherently curious, open minded, motivated and invested in
developing employees’ skills to help them reach their potential.
Additionally, this person is usually tasked with marketing the
training program internally, so that employees are aware of
development skills include problem solving, business acumen
leadership skills.

2. Needs assessment- A needs assessment can be conducted


through research, interviews and internal surveys. At the core of any
effective training program is correctly identifying who needs to be
trained, and on what skills or topics. A training need is the gap
between current
performance and required performance.

3. Goals and metrics- Training is an area that can be difficult to


quantify. However, when the program manager is able to determine
organizational needs that are aligned with the business quantifying
training becomes much easier. When developing goals, make sure
metrics give the whole picture,
including quantity, quality, time, cost and effectiveness.

4. Leadership buy-in - One of the keys to a successful training and


development program, and possibly the most important, is
leadership buy-in from the top down. Having leadership support
helps to drive the importance of a program, assist with
accountability and establish appropriate expectations. Senior
leaders will want to know how the training program
can impact the bottom line. So the junior leaders must be prepared
when they present their ideas.

5. Relevancy - Providing relevant training content is key to a good


training program, to ensure your learners are engaged and continue
to come back for more. The content that are presented to the
employees must be applicable and timely to help them with their
daily duties, expand their mind, and provide them with quick take
-ways that can immediately be
applied.
6. Creativity - Creativity can start with a program launch that has a
theme – it can be as simple as a corporate university or college
layout. Branding the training initiative with a logo or mascot can
add a level of fun and familiarity as the program continues. Other
creative ploys could include
seasonal themes and contests.

7. Marketing and communication - Having a marketing is an


integral part of the implementation and an essential component of a
successful learning and development program. A successful
marketing plan includes not only initial launch activities, but also
strong ongoing efforts throughout the program. Any
communication sent out to employees
should include not only an overview and clearly defined
expectations, but also how an employee what’s in for them.

8. Training reinforcement - Training reinforcement is a series of


small lessons or learning activities that support a core concept skill.
By continuing to teach what was learned at a seminar or from a
video, employees will not only remember more, but they will also
be more likely to apply it
to their everyday work.

Types of training and development


Methods of training

There are mainly two types of training.

 On-the-job training
 Off-the-job training

 On-the-job training- when employees are trained while they are


performing the job then it is known as On-the-job training. Under this
method the employees learn by doing. This method is suitable only for
technical jobs and the advantage of this method is employees can learn the
practical problems while working on the job. The biggest disadvantage of
On-the-job training is that it results in the wastage of resources.
Whenever employees are
dealing with expensive and sophisticated machinery then On-the- job
methods of training should be avoided.

 Off-the-job training- Off-the-job training means training the employees


by taking them away from their work position which means employees are
given a break from the job and sent for training. This method for training
is more suitable for managerial job positions as conferences, seminars,
are held to train the managers.

On- the -job training Off- the- job training


1) Apprenticeship 1) Conference or classroom
/programme training lectures

2) Job rotation 2) Vestibule training

3) Internship 3) Films

4) Coaching 4) Case study

5) Induction or orientation 5) Computer modelling and


training programmed instruction
NEED AND BENEFITS OF
TRAINING AT THE
INDIVIDUAL,
OPERATIONAL AND
ORGANIZATIONAL LEVELS.
Training has become a necessity for all the organization in today’s dynamic
business environment. It helps the employees to perform their jobs more
efficiently and effectively resulting in long-term benefits for both the
employees as well as the organizations.

Training can be multi-dimensional. It can be specifically used to develop skills


and knowledge that may be used at an Individual, Operational, Organizational
level.
Need for individual training:-
Individual skills include self management, communication and interpersonal
abilities needed to successfully perform in the organizational and social context
of the project and support groups.

Individual training offers the following benefits:-


I. Quality of work is improved.
II. It increases the productivity.
III. Provides employees greater flexibility and responsiveness to change.

IV. There is less wastage and reduction in maintenance and repair costs.

V. There is improvement in employee morale.

Thus we see that the individual or employee training provides employees an


opportunity to improve their job skills, knowledge and abilities thereby
strengthening the services and operations of the entire organization.

Need for operational training:-


Operational training includes training that helps an employee to develop,
maintain, or improve his technical skills. Technical skills are those skills where
he uses his knowledge, tools and other equipment to perform a task efficiently.

Training in technical or operational skills helps an employee to


I. Use the equipment in a correct and scientific manner.
II. Choose the correct tools required to complete a specific task.
III. Learn to use new technology and tools.
IV. To prevent industrial accidents and health hazards.
V. It facilitates team work.

Operational training thus increases efficiency and productivity of an employee


by enhancing his ability to use skills and resources available as required by his
job.
Need for organizational training: -
Organizational training includes training to support the organization’s strategic
business objectives and to meet practical training needs that are common across
projects and support groups.

The purpose of organizational training is to develop the skills


and knowledge of people so they can perform their roles
effectively and efficiently.
I. Pertain to behaviour within and according to employee’s
organization structure
II. Take on role and responsibilities as required by the organization
III. Adhere to the organization’s general operating principles and
methods.
IV. Facilitate implementation of organizational STRATEGIC
planned change efforts such as OD,TQM, BPR,ISO.

An organizational training programme should identify the training needed by the


organization, obtain and provide training to address those needs, establish and
maintain training capability and records and assess its effectiveness. This will
result in overall development and ultimately an increase in the profitability of the
business.
NEED FOR INDUSTRIAL
TRAINING
Nothing is changing faster than a factory. Fierce global competition, new
regulatory requirements and technical innovations are combining to redefine
manufacturing effectiveness and create a new way of life on the factory
floor. TQM, JIT, World Class Manufacturing, ISO 9000, Process Safety
Management, Total Productive Maintenance, the computer-integrated
enterprise, agile manufacturing-new innovations and initiatives continually
challenge industrial management like never before. It is not likely to stop.

If change has challenged management, think of how it challenges workers. The


heyday of mass production is long gone as organization gear up to meet global
competition and customer demand for quality. Increasingly workers are
managing themselves in sophisticated self directed teams. Now supervisors are
expected to be coaches instead of bosses.

In today’s high performance plants, manual labour is becoming less important.


Workers use computers to control and monitor processes. Instead of doing,
workers process information and make decisions. Instead of doing the same thing
over and over, workers are becoming multi-skilled so they can accomplish
whatever their job or team requires. The role of the knowledge worker is
expanding on the plant floor just as in the rest of the society.

To meet these challenges and match international rivals, organizations need


educated skill and sophisticated workers. It is not easy to get them. Workers are
coming out of school unequipped to learn in traditional ways- unable to
successfully function in the modern world. Many businesses have difficulty in
finding and developing qualified workers.

What can be done about it? For more industrial enterprises, the answer is
training .It is the bridge between the technology of the plant and the workers
who use that technology. Training is a key factor in determining manufacturing
effectiveness. No matter how sophisticated your processes and systems, they are
only good as your workers.
In the last few years, industrial training based on established principles of adult
learning has proven to be valuable tool in raising productivity and increasing
competitiveness. Effective training transforms workers into learners and
problem-solvers even when all other educational approaches have failed.

Findings and conclusion

EVALUATION OF THE TRAINING AND


DEVELOPMENT METHODS ADOPTED BY
TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES AND
COGNIZANT USING KIRKPATRICK’S
MODEL

LEVEL 1 REACTION –

Just as the word implies, evaluation at this level measures how participants in a
training program react to it. According to Kirkpatrick, every program should
atleast be evaluated at this level to provide for the improvement in training
program. In addition, the participants reactions have important consequences for
learning (level two). Although a positive reaction does not guarantee learning, a
negative reaction almost certainly reduces its possibility

LEVEL 2 LEARNING-

To assess the amount of learning that has occured due to training program, level
two evaluations often use test conducted before training (pretest) and after (post
test). Methods range from formal to informal testing to team assessment and self
assessment. If possible, participants take the test or assesssment before the
training pretest and after training post test to determine the amount of learning
that has occured.
