INTRODUCTION OF TRAINING
Training is concerned with imparting developing specific skills for a particular purpose. Training is the
act of increasing the skills of employees for doing a particular job. Training is the process of learning a
sequence of programmed behavior.

In earlier practice, training program 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 steps were taken to train
supervisors for better supervision.

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. In order to emphasize the importance of
training need identification we can focus on the following areas: -

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

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

3. 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 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. Similarly if seen from an 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.

Importance of Training Process

1. Training and development is a routine based, non-stop practice, which a growing business
organization must conduct to achieve their production target.

2. From organizational point of view it is very crucial to assure the quality, quantity, and
effectiveness etc of the product by the means of suitable training.
3. Development of the employee comes handy with training activities, making them much more
capable in outperforming various activities with high professions and accuracy by using advance
technical/mechanical tools and equipments.

4. As a management trainee I myself come through various aspects like performance appraisal,
payroll management, labors related laws and issues etc during my training and development
project.

Evaluating the productivity of the employees can very well recognize how to distribute your workforce.
This information gathered after conducting training programmed which is immensely helpful for the
human resources manager and the whole departmentTraining helps measure the performance of the
employees by evaluating the training given and comparing the individual and group's latest output with
the output given before training programmed.

TRAINING METHODS

On-the-job training: Almost every employee, from the clerk to company president gets some on-the-job
training, when he joins a firm. Under this method, an employee is placed in a new job and is told how it
may be performed. It is primarily concerned with developing is an employee skills and habits consistent
with the existing practices of an organization, and with orienting him to his immediate problems.

Vestibule training (training-centre training): Vestibule training method attempts to duplicate on-the-job
situation in a company classroom. It is a classroom training which is often imparted with the help of
equipment and machines which are identical with those in use in the place of work. This method enables
the trainee to concentrate on learning the new skill rather than on performing an actual job. Theoretical
training is given in the classroom while the practical work is conducted on the production line. It is a very
efficient technique of training semi skilled personnel e.g. clerk, machine operation, testers, typists etc.
Training is in the form of lectures, conferences, case studies, role-playing and discussion.

Demonstrations and examples: In the demonstration techniques, the trainer describes and displays.
When he teaches an employee how to do something by actually performing activities himself and by
going through a step-by-explanation of why and what he is doing. Demonstrations are effective
techniques in teaching as it is easier to show a person how to do a job then to tell him or ask him to gather
instruction from the reading material. Demonstrations are often used in combination with lectures,
pictures, text materials, discussions etc.

Simulation: Simulation is technique which duplicates the actual condition encountered on a job.
Trainees‘interest and employees‘motivation are high in simulation exercises because he actions of a
trainee closely duplicate the real job conditions. This method is essential in cases in which actual on-the-
job practice might result in a serious injury, costly errors. This technique is a very expensive one.

Apprenticeship: Apprenticeship training is the oldest and most commonly used methods. It is training in
crafts, trades and in technical areas major part of training time is spent on-the-job production work.
Off the job training:

a) Lectures: Simplest way of imparting knowledge to trainees is by lecture. Concepts or principles,


attitude, method can be useful when large group are to be taught. The lecture method can be useful when
large groups are to be trained within a short time, thus reducing the cost per trainee.

b) The Conference Method: In this technique, the participating individuals confer to discuss points of
common interest to each other. Conference is a formal meeting, conducted according to organized plan.

c) Seminar or team discussion: There are different methods of conducting seminar. It may be based on
paper prepared by one or more trainees on the subject in consulting with the person in charge of the
seminar.

d) Case studies: The person in charge of training make out a case provides necessary explanations,
initiates the discussion going .When the trainees are given cases to analyze. They are asked to identify the
problem and recommend tentative solutions.

e) Role Playing: in role playing, trainees act out a given role as they would in a stage play. It basically
involves employee-employer relationships hiring, firing, interviews disciplining etc.

f) Programmed instruction method: A programmed instruction involves breaking information down


into meaningful units and then arranging these in a proper way to form a logical and sequential learning
programme or package.

g) T-group training: This comprises of Audio-visual aids and planned reading programme.

STEPS OF TRAINING
Identification of Training

The training needs are identified by Concern Validation Studies (CVS) and the gaps are filled by
providing training. The training needs can be identified by the immediate superiors or by the employee‘s
performance appraisal.

The training needs are identified:

 At the time of interview

 Annual appraisal

 Training identification format

 Specific recommendations by functional head

Deciding the Objective of Training

The gathered information is forwarded to human resources officials for consultation and then the training
objectives are established.

The training objective is prepared after finding the requirement of training whether the gaps are about
knowledge, skill or attitude. Then the objective of training is established and efforts to accomplish started.
Training Plan

Based on the collected data and discussions with hr manager training plan is prepared.

The training plan is prepared. The training calendar is prepared monthly with the name of the trainees and
the trainer.

Training Methods and Tools

Considering the type of training, a suitable training method and required tools and equipments are
finalized. The venue is finalized and all logistics are prepared. The methods and tools are also finalized
once the type of training is decided whether it is knowledge, skill or attitude.
Training Implementation
List of employees are first of all collected with their name, designations and department and than a proper
schedule with date, day and time and venue is finalized and all the employees are made aware of. The
training is conducted and completed as per the schedule.

The training given mainly resolves around Knowledge of the products and processes for each vertical and
level.

The Concern Validation Studies (CVS) is done to identify the gaps and then here we see that he is
suitable for that job or he requires more training to do the job. We consider his previous skill and
qualifications etc.

When candidate is appearing for an interview, we ask him about the training which he has undergone in
previous program. If there is necessity for any specific skill then we are training him accordingly.

In annual appraisal there are two types of appraisals. One is self-appraisal and other head of department
appraisal. In appraisal there is point mentioned if they require any specific training for updating their job.
Likewise, head of department is asked to write that did he require any specific training to update his job
requirement.

The skill and attitude training is imparted by reality learning and NIS Academy teaches attitude only .In
that we sent training identification form to the concerned head of the department with his departmental
list along with list the training programs.

We sent candidates for training in house/ external depending upon the nature of training.

After identification of training needs, we prepare the training calendar on yearly basis. For this we seek
the following information. Nominate the persons for program, finding the faculty, venue for the program
and training.

Based on this we are preparing annual calendar.

Based on the annual calendar we prepare annual budget for training and seek the approval.

After training calendar is ready, we inform the nominee, faculties and book venue for training program
and the logistics involved is arranged.

CHAPTER NO.3

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

MEANING OF RESEARCH

Research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic .In fact,
research is an art of scientific investigation. It is an academic activity as such the term should be used in a
technical sense. Research is, thus an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for
its advancement .it is a per-suite of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment.
In short, the search for knowledge through objective & systematic method of finding solution to a
problem is “Research”

DEFINITION OF RESEARCH

1) According to Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, “A research is a careful investigation or inquiry


especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”.

2) According to Clifford Woody,“Research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating


hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting and evaluating data; making deduction and reaching
conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the
formulating hypothesis”.

A) METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION:-

In Conducting, the Research Primary and Secondary Sources are observed. The Findings are mainly
based on Primary Methods of Data Collection.

Research
Methodology

Primary Data Secondary


Data
Primary and Secondary research are the difference in conducting the research. The findings are mainly
based on primary method of data collection.I will use other secondary sources of data such as books,
journals, record of the investigations available. The important thing is that there are advantages and
disadvantages for both methods.
In Primary research, there is no data available for the researcher; hence the researcher has to
start from scratch. This means that the researcher needs to design questionnaires, collect data from
respondents and then analyze the result. In secondary research, the researcher has the necessary data
available. These data are made available through other publications or reports, like newspaper or annual
reports of companies. In secondary research, there is no need to start from scratch, the data or
information done by other organizations or publications can be used. Primary research is more time
consuming and costly.

1) PRIMARY DATA
Data that is collected for the specific purpose at hand is called as primary data. The collection of
primary data is costly and time consuming.Primarydata the one which is collected by the investigator
himself for the purpose of a specific inquiry or study. Such data is original for character and is generated
by survey conducted by individuals in research institution or an organization.
According to W.A. Neiswanger, A primary
source is a publication in which the data are published by the same authority which gathers and
analyzethem.primary data is important for all areas of research because it is unvarnishedinformation about
the results of an experiments or observation. Primary data is the specific information collected by the
person who is doing the research. It can be obtained through case studies, true experiments and
randomized controlled studies.This information can be analyses by other experts who may decide to test
the validity of the data by repeating the same experiments.

Definition:-
According to W.A. Neiswanger, “A primary source is a publication is which the data are published by the
same authority which gather and analyze them”.

i) Survey Method:- Surveys represent one of the most common types of quantitative, social science
research. In survey research the researcher selects a sample of respondents from a population and
administers a standardized questionnaire to them. Using surveys, it is possible to collects data from large
or small population. The questionnaire can be a return document that is completed by the person being
surveyed, an online questionnaire, a face to face interview, or a telephonic interview, using surveys; it is
possible to collect data from large or small population, various survey methods.

ii) Observation Method: -Observation involves recording the behaviouring pattern of people,
objects and events in systems of manner to obtain information about the phenomenon of interest.
Observation method may be structured or unstructured, direct or indirect. Furthermore observation may
be conducted in a natural or contrived environment.The observer does not question or communicate with
the people be in observed information may be recorded as the events occur or from recorded of past
events. Observational method may be structured or unstructured, direct or indirect. Furthermore
observation may be conducted In a natural or contrived environment.
Iii) Interview Techniques:-Interview is a conversation between two or more people where
questions are asked by the interviewed to obtain information from the interviewee. The interview method
of collecting data involves presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply in terms of oral-verbal responses.
This method can be used through personal interview and if possible through telephonic interviews.

iv) Questionnaire Method: - A questionnaire is a method of obtaining specificinformation about a


define problem so the data, after analysis and interpretation, results in a appreciation of the problem. A
questionnaire from which has to becompleted by an interview.

2) SECONDARY DATA

Secondary data may be defined as data that has been collected earlier for some purpose other than the
purpose of the present study. Secondary data is also called as historical data. Secondary sources of data
provide a wealth of information to the researcher. For more information I referred to books, magazines,
journals, news papers and websites etc. It thus provides rich insights into the research process. Secondary
data are those data which have been already collected and analyses by some earlier agency for its own use
and later the same data are used by a different agency.

Secondary data is data that is neither collected directly by the user nor specifically for the user obtain
under condition not known to the user like government reports. Secondary information as already has
been collect for some other purpose.

TYPES OF SECONDORY DATA

i) Books:-Books is a source of collection of data what exactly the reader want.


ii)Websites:- Websites is a collection of related web page including multimedia content typically,
identified with a common domain name and published an least one web server-
.http:/study.com/academy/lesson.

iii) Generals:- General data means collecting data from our surroundings.
iv) Magazine:- magazine is a general interest regular periodical covering several topic by short
articals.

Programmed instruction benefits employee training by breaking information into meaningful units and arranging these into a logical, sequential learning process. This structured approach helps employees learn in a more organized manner, allowing self-paced learning. However, its limitations include the potential inability to cater to different learning styles and the lack of interaction, which could reduce the opportunity for real-time clarification on complex topics .

The key steps involved in designing a training program include: identifying training needs through Concern Validation Studies (CVS) and performance appraisals, deciding on the objectives of the training based on identified gaps in knowledge, skills, or attitudes, preparing a training plan by consulting with HR managers, finalizing training methods and tools relevant to the type of training needed, implementing the training schedule, and evaluating the effectiveness of training to improve future performance .

The challenges and limitations identified in the employee training study at Ashok Leyland, Bhandara, include time constraints, biased responses from participants, lack of cooperation from administration, and non-availability of data. These factors can potentially skew the findings, affect the accuracy of data analysis, and limit the effectiveness of the conclusions drawn from the study .

Case studies in training programs involve providing trainees with scenarios or cases to analyze, encouraging them to identify problems and propose tentative solutions. The use of case studies aims to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, as trainees are required to examine detailed scenarios and come up with reasoned recommendations. This method fosters a deeper understanding of complex issues within a controlled environment, which mirrors real-world challenges .

The training and development program at Ashok Leyland aims to improve employee satisfaction and effectiveness by focusing on enhancing employees' skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Programs are designed to increase productivity, achieve organizational goals, and reduce wastage. Employee feedback shows high levels of active involvement and satisfaction with the training methods, suggesting that these programs help improve job performance and employee morale .

Identifying training needs is crucial in the development cycle of a training program as it ensures the training objectives align with the deficiencies in skills, knowledge, or attitudes of the employees. This step typically involves feedback from performance appraisals, interviews, and specific recommendations by functional heads. By accurately assessing these needs, companies can tailor their training interventions to effectively bridge the gaps, enhancing the overall productivity and efficiency of their workforce .

Simulation plays a critical role in employee training by duplicating the actual conditions encountered on a job, which significantly increases trainee engagement and motivation due to the realistic nature of the exercises. It is considered expensive because developing simulations that accurately replicate job conditions can require advanced technology and resources, hence increasing the overall cost of training. Despite its cost, simulation is essential in situations where real-life practice could lead to serious injuries or costly errors, thus justifying the investment .

Vestibule training is a method where a training center or company classroom is designed to replicate an actual work environment using equipment and machines identical to those used on-the-job. This allows trainees to concentrate on learning the skills without the pressure of performing actual job functions immediately. It differs from regular on-the-job training by providing a safe environment to develop skills without affecting real-time work output or risking errors that could impact the company. This method is particularly efficient for training semi-skilled personnel like clerks or machine operators .

Seminars and conferences contribute to off-the-job training by providing a platform for knowledge sharing and professional growth. They allow participants to discuss points of common interest, exchange ideas, and learn from experts in the field through organized presentations and discussions. This exposure to diverse perspectives broadens the participants' understanding, fosters critical thinking, and encourages collaborative learning, which is difficult to achieve in insular training environments .

Role-playing is significant in training initiatives as it allows employees to act out situations related to employee-employer relationships, such as interviews, hiring, firing, and disciplining. This method helps participants explore and understand interpersonal dynamics and communication techniques, enhancing their soft skills and preparing them to handle real-world scenarios involving human interactions more effectively .
