INTRODUCTION OF HR
Human resources are the most valuable and unique assets of an organization. The successful
management of an organization's human resources is an exciting, dynamic and challenging task,
especially at a time when the world has become a global village and economies are in a state of flux.
The scarcity of talented resources and the growing expectations of the modern day worker have further
increased the complexity of the human resource function. Even though specific human resource
functions/activities are the responsibility of the human resource department, the actual management of
human resources is the responsibility of all the managers in an organization.
It is therefore necessary for all managers to understand and give due importance to the different human
resource policies and activities in the organization. Human Resource Management outlines the
importance of HRM and its different functions in an organization. It examines the various HR processes
that are concerned with attracting, managing, motivating and developing employees for the benefit of
the organization.
13
HR Responsibilities
Human resource managers are in charge of many duties pertaining to their job. The duties include the
recruitment process, posting job ads, organizing resumes and job applications, scheduling interviews and
assisting in the process and ensuring background checks are carried out. Another job is payroll and
benefits administration which deals with ensuring vacation and sick time are accounted for, reviewing
payroll, and participating in benefits tasks, like claim resolutions, reconciling benefit statements, and
approving invoices for payment. The last job is regular maintenance, this job makes sure that the 4
current HR files and databases are up to date, maintaining employee benefits and employment status and
performing payroll/benefit-related reconciliation.
Activities
A human resources manager has several functions in a company
14
History OF HR
Human resource management used to be referred to as "personnel administration." In the 1920s,
personnel administration focused mostly on the aspects of hiring, evaluating, training and compensating
employees.
According to an HR Magazine article, the first personnel management department started at the National
Cash Register Co. in 1900. The owner, John Henry Patterson, organized a personnel department to deal
with grievances, discharges and safety, and training for supervisors on new laws and practices after
several strikes and employee lockouts.
During the 1970s, companies experienced globalization, deregulation, and rapid technological change
which caused the major companies to enhance their strategic planning and focus on ways to promote
organizational effectiveness. This resulted in developing more jobs and opportunities for people to show
their skills which were directed to effective applying employees toward the fulfillment of individual,
group, and organizational goals. Many years later the major/minor of human resource management was
created at universities and colleges also known as business administration.[4]
Now, human resources focus on the people side of management.[4] There are two real definitions of
HRM (Human Resource Management), one is that it is the process of managing people in organizations
in a structured and thorough manner.[4] This means that it covers the hiring, firing, pay and perks, and
performance management.[4] This first definition is the modern and traditional version more like what a
personnel manager would have done back in the 1920s. [4] The second definition is that HRM circles the
ideas of management of people in organizations from a macromanagement perspective like customers
and competitors in a marketplace. [4]
This involves the focus on making the “employment relationship”
fulfilling for management and employees.
15
Scope of HRM
1. Very Vast
2. Covers all major activities in the working life of a worker-from time an individual enters into an
organization until he or she leaves comes under the purview of HRM
It is very vast & wide. It include all activities ranging from manpower planning till the employees leaves
the organisation. Accordingly the scope of HRM consists of acquisition, development,
maintenance/retention and control of human resources in the organization.
Control
• Human resource Audit
• Human resource accounting
• Human resource information system
Maintenance
• Remuneration
• Motivation
• Health & safety
• Social security
• Industrial relation
• Performance appraisal
Development
• Training
• Development
• Organization development
• Internal mobility
Acquisition

16
Nature of Human Resource Management
• Comprehensive
HRM is a comprehensive function because it is about managing people in the organization. It covers all
types of people in the organization from workers till the top level management.
• People oriented
Human resource is the core of all the processes of human resource management. So HRM is the process
which brings people and organizations together so that their goals can be achieved.
• Action oriented
Human resource management believes in taking actions in order to achieve individual and
organizational goals rather than just keeping records and procedures.
• Development oriented
Development of employees is an essential function of human resource management in order to get
maximum satisfaction from their work so that they give their best to the organization.
17
• Continuous function
As human resource is a living factor among all factors of production therefore it requires continuous
improvement and innovations in order to get excellence. So it requires a constant alertness and
awareness of human relations and their importance in day to day operations.
• Future oriented
HRM is very important activity which helps organization to achieve its objectives in future by providing
well motivated and competent employees.
OBJECTIVES OF HRM
• Societal
HRM may contribute ethically and socially regarding the needs and challenges emerging in the society.
If an organization fails to use its resources for society benefits in ethical ways, it may lead to restriction
by society. For example, society may limit the HR decisions that address discrimination, safety etc.
• Organizational
The main objective of HRM is to achieve organizational goals by bringing organizations effectiveness.
HRM is not an end but it is a means to assist the organization in order to attain its objectives.
• Functional
Functional objective of HRM deals with contributions of each department regarding their need and
effectiveness in order to attain organization goal. All the resource or skill set get wasted if HRM is not
able to fulfill up with the organizational demand.
18
• Personal
HRM also deals with personal objectives of the individuals so that personal and organizational
objectives can be met in order to achieve maximum production and attain competitive advantage. These
personal objectives are important in order to maintain, retain and motivate employees. If this not done
employees dissatisfaction and poor performance will result in attrition or low productivity.
Functions of HRM
19
HRM in India
In the 1970s and 1980s typical HRM functions in organization included:
• Personnel and administration
• Industrial relations
• Labor welfare
Up to the mid-80s human resource management in Indian organizations grew through various phases
under the influence of the following factors:
• A philanthropic viewpoint about doing good for workers
• A legislative framework
• Government policies
• Trade unions
• Emerging trends/concepts in management
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
The primary objective of my study at Solitaire Infosys Pvt. Ltd. to lay down the foundation of training
and development.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE
The objective of my study about employees training and development to improve the current process of
employees training and development at Solitaire Infosys Pvt. Ltd.
· My another objective is to apply my learning in the area of Human Resources so that I gain
significant practical and Understand the nature and importance of training and development and identify
the various inputs that should go into any programme.
20
· Delineate the different stages in a training and development programme and describe each step.
· Understand the need for and the ways of training for international assignments.
Training can be defining as a systematic process of planned programs and procedures undertaken for the
improvement of employee's overall performance. Major outcome is learning.
It is the act of increasing the knowledge & skills of an employee for performing a particular job. He
learns to systematically modify behavior through training.
Objectives
21
2. Enhance employee growth
By attending these training and development programs, employees are able to master the work of their
jobs and that's how they develop and grow themselves in a professional way.
3. Prevents obsolescence
These programs help employees to keep themselves up to date with the new trends in latest technology,
which reduces the chances of termination of the job. Computers and mobile phones are the miracles of
the past but the world of today is far more advanced than that. It’s time for latest technologies capable of
connecting the world in just a blink of an eye. Now, earthlings are trying to reach far off planets to get
information about the life force present there. Newer technologies are rolling in and we could continue
to list it down but we haven’t got time for that.
Training and education to the employees keep them updated with the latest of the additions to the
technologies, methods, techniques and processes. Since it also opens a new gateway for them to look for
a way which is greater in productivity and efficiency but decreases the need of manual work immensely.
For example, spraying of pesticides and herbicides to keep the crop healthy and safe from invaders with
the help of a hand pump is a lot more tiresome work than it would be with the help of a semi-automated
machinery. But how can workers know that such a type of machinery is available in a market, which
cuts the time needed in the matter of hours instead of days, without any update on what’s going on
around the globe.
On the contrary, training ensures that the company doesn’t need to turn over its workforce again and
again because it prepares the employees to face any situation which proves helpful in bringing in the
feeling of workers. Therefore, the workforce feels safe and secure at a particular job.
8. Effective Management
One of the primary objectives of training and development process is to give rise to a new and improved
management which is capable of handling the planning and control without any serious problem. With
the knowledge and experience gathered through training, acting as the guiding light for this newly
shaped management, it lets them handle the
tough decisions and confusing realities thus opening the way for bigger and better opportunities for
business for the cause of the brand.
According to China Gorman, CEO at Great Place to Work, “As companies grow and the war for talent
intensifies, it is increasingly important that training and development programs are not only competitive
but are supporting the organization on its defined strategic path.” And it’s not just about retention.
Employee training and development programs directly impact your bottom line.
According to SHRM, the link between learning and business success is compelling. “Companies that
learn fastest and adapt well to changing environments perform the best over time,” says Edward Hess, a
professor of business administration and author.
24
Here is how you create high-impact employee training.
High-impact training and development programs don’t just happen. Instead, they’re the result of a
careful planning and alignment process. The following steps can help you translate business objectives
into a tailored training plan.
25
Motivation: How can you help learners understand why they need to change their
behaviors? By working with employee motivations–for example, pinpointing a purpose–you’re more
likely to change behavior over the long term.
Skills Mastery: What do your learners need to be able to do the job? These behaviors
will have the most impact on performance.
Critical Thinking: What must your learners know to perform their jobs well?
Distinguish critical knowledge from nice-to-know information to identify what content should be in the
course, and what should be in optional resources.
26
27
Training Process
28
• To provide a basis of measurement
• To gain mgmt. support.
Mc Ghee & Thayer’s model of training need identification consists of following 3 components/levels of
TNA:
• Organizational analysis
• Task Analysis
• Manpower analysis
Organizational Analysis: - Organization require the training (skills) to achieve short or long term goals
OR not?
Task Analysis: - In which skills we require to provide training to Perform the task effectively.
Personal Analysis: - Which employee require training and in which skills
- Who will participate in the training
Demographic Analysis: - Which group employee require training (disable etc.)
5. Evaluation of training:
Evaluation of training aspects, Assessment of training utility. Criteria:
Evaluate Reaction, Evaluate Learning, Evaluate Behaviour, Evaluate Result.
Advantages
• Effective method to train at operational level.
• Opportunity for freedom of expression for the trainees
• Focus is upon learning the material and related future job performance.
• The trainee is not distracted by job requirements and he can focus properly and can place his
entire concentration on learning.
Disadvantages
• As trainee is separated from the job situation so there is loss of work.
• It is a time consuming process.
• Development is of primary and work is of secondary importance here.
30
On the job training
Trainee is not separated from the job situation, he is trained on the job, at his work place. On-the-job
training (sometimes called direct instruction) is one-on-one training located at the job site. It usually
consists of an experienced worker passing down their skills to a new employee. This type of training is
usually used for practical tasks.
In antiquity, the work performed by most people did not rely on abstract thinking or academic education.
Parents or community members, who knew the skills necessary for survival, passed their knowledge on
to the children through direct instruction. This method is still widely used today. It is a frequently used
because it requires only a person who knows how to do the task and the tools the person uses to do the
task. It may not be the most effective or the most efficient method at times, but
it is normally the easiest to arrange and manage. Because the training takes place on the job, it can be
highly realistic and no transfer of learning is required. It is often inexpensive because no special
equipment is needed other than what is normally used on the job. One drawback is that OJT takes the
trainer and materials out of production for the duration of the training time. In addition, due to safety or
other production factors, it is prohibitive in some environment. Even many researchers show the
importance of the On the Job Training. A large majority of employee learning is accomplished through
on-the-job training. Well-designed OJT training programs are well planned and resourced, staff
managers with competent coaching ability, and define the criterion for performance standards.
Pros and Cons
As far as on the job training goes, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this type of training
goes. Most companies have to weigh out these options before they decide which type of training they
will use with their new employees. In some case, the disadvantages are too strong, and companies have
to shy away from OJT. A list of pros and cons can be found below.
Advantages
1. On the job training is a quick method of training. There is no time being wasted in the classroom, only
for the person to get to the job and still not know what to do. This is also a way of someone getting their
feet wet from the get go, and not having to learn over a long period of time.
2. When a company is short on employees, and needs to hire someone new, they are able to have the
employee immediately on the job! This means there is not any extra time wasted with less people on the
job.
31
3. It is often times hard to create a simulation of the work environment in a training field. By doing the on
the job training, everyone is taught exactly what they will be using on a daily basis.
4. Cost effective method of on the job training, means that no money is being wasted on separate training.
Disadvantages
1. *On the job training can sometimes cause an issue when employees are not properly trained teachers.
Not every employee is capable of training someone, which would then mean that trainers would need to
place on the job site.
2. On the job training can also cause distractions to the job. This would also affect the productivity of the
job, and lead to it being down in a slower amount of time. If the employees are constantly having to help
someone new, they are spending less time on the task.
3. In many jobs, there are safety precautions that need to be taught prior to entering the job field. Without
employees being properly trained, there could be injuries that occur on the jobsite.
4. On the job training, is often times rushed, which results in low productivity of the employee.
32
Various Techniques
On the job
1. Coaching
2. Job rotation
3. Special projects
4. committee assignment
5. Apprenticeships
6. Guidance and counseling
7. Job instruction
33
On the job training methods
1.) Coaching
· Relationships are contracted for specific periods of time
· Sessions can be more structured in nature and meetings can be scheduled on a regular basis
· Focused on developing strengths and making sought after changes – useful in talent development,
change management and seeking specific solutions to professional challenges
· Coaching does not require the coach to have direct experience of their client’s formal occupational role
- although it is expected that they will have a sufficient understanding of the business or organizational
sphere they are operating in. That is, the Coach will have a command of the language of; for example,
accounting or education or engineering or leadership.
· Agenda is set by the Client – the focus will be agreed between Coach and Client across a coaching
series and at each session
· The agenda is focused on moving towards the clients stated goals.
in another firm. Along with employees benefiting, companies benefit as well. The business can hire
fewer people since the majority of their staff will be able to be versatile in the job functions that the
company may demand, saving the company more money and possibly giving the current employees a
better salary.
5.) Apprenticeship
• The App. Act, 1966 requires industrial units to provide training on basic skill and knowledge in
specified trades to educate employees with a view to improve their employment opportunities or to
enable them to start their own industry.
• It is offered in: job of a printer, tool maker, pattern designer, mechanic, carpenter, weavers,
fitters, jewelers and electricians.
35
the desire and ability to teach the necessary skills. To enhance learning, provide the training in a realistic
setting, using real tools and equipment.
If you are training multiple groups, ensure that the training is the same for all workers. Provide ample
time in the training for the
trainer to present the information and for workers to demonstrate the job and ask questions. When
possible, plan to hold training sessions during a slow time of the year at your farm or ranch to allow
appropriate time for instruction and interaction. Use JIT to convey to workers any new information,
techniques, or processes.
Lecture method
It is one of the oldest methods of training. This method is used to create understanding of a topic or to
influence behavior, attitudes through lecture. A lecture can be in printed or oral form. Lecture is telling
someone about something. Lecture is given to enhance the knowledge of listener or to give him the
theoretical aspect of a topic. Training is basically incomplete without lecture. When the trainer begins
the training session by telling the aim, goal, agenda, processes, or methods that will be used in training
that means the trainer is using the lecture method. It is difficult to imagine training without lecture
format. There are some variations in Lecture method. The variation here means that some forms of
lectures are interactive while some are not.
Talk
It uses a hierarchical based approach to improve speech clarity and feeding skills in individuals of all
ages and across diagnoses. These innovative techniques focus on motor movement activities used to
improve phonation, resonation, and speech clarity. Combined with a tactile-sensory approach, OPT
provides a comprehensive solution to a variety of speech and feeding issues. OPT involves the use of
therapy tools to train and transition muscle movements for speech production.
Our techniques, applied in combination with the tools, make the difference in client’s lives.
36
Discussion
This method uses a lecturer to provide the learners with context that is supported, elaborated, explains,
or expanded on through interactions both among the trainees and between the trainer and the trainees.
The interaction and the communication between these two make it much more effective
and powerful than the lecture method. If the Discussion method is used with proper sequence i.e.
lectures, followed by discussion and questioning,
Can achieve higher level knowledge objectives, such as problem solving and principle learning.
The Discussion method consists a two-way flow of communication i.e. knowledge in the form of lecture
is communicated to trainees, and then understanding is conveyed back by trainees to trainer.
Case study
The case study is a method which provides descriptive situations which stimulate trainees to make
decisions. The purpose of the case method is to make trainees apply what they know, develop new ideas
to manage a situation or solve a problem. The focus is more on the approach the trainee uses rather than
on the solution. As a training tool, the case study method can be used to develop decision-making skills,
enhance team spirit, better communication and interpersonal skills and strengthen the analytical skills of
trainees. This paper explores the situations when case study method can be used as a training tool and
also explains the advantages and limitations of this method. It also describes certain
variations in the case method so that the trainer can enhance his effectiveness.
In basket
An in-basket test or an in-basket exercise is a test used by companies and governments in hiring and
promoting employees. During the test, job applicants receive a number of mails, telephone calls,
documents and memos. They then have a limited period of time to set priorities, organize their working
schedule accordingly and respond to mail and phone calls.
It also helps in acquainting employees about their job where a number of problems are kept in the "in
basket "(usually kept on the desk of the employee). The worker has to look at the problems which could
also be complaints from different employees and simultaneously deal with those problems. As the
employee solves these problem, he/she transfers them to the "out-basket".
In basket exercises are often part of Assessment centers that are comprehensive multi-day assessments
involving a variety of simulation exercises and tests, typically used to identify management talent.
37
Business games
Business game (also called business simulation game) refers to simulation games that are used as
an educational tool for teaching business. Business games may be carried out for various business
training such as: general management, finance, organizational behaviour, human resources, etc. Often,
the term "business simulation" is used with the same meaning.
A business game has been defined as "a game with a business environment that can lead to one or both
of the following results: the training of players in business skills (hard and/or soft) or the evaluation of
players' performances (quantitatively and/or qualitatively)".
Business games are used as a teaching method in universities, and more particularly in business schools,
but also for executive education.
Simulation are considered to be an innovative learning method (Aldrich 2004), and are often computer-
based.
Sensitivity training
Kurt Lewin laid the foundations for sensitivity training in a series of workshops he organized in 1946,
using his field theory as the conceptual background. His work then contributed to the founding of
the National Training Laboratories in Bethel, Maine in 1947 – now part of the National Education
Association – and to their development of training groups or T-groups.
Meanwhile, others had been influenced by the wartime need to help soldiers deal with traumatic stress
disorders (then known as shell shock) to develop group therapy as a treatment technique. Carl Rogers in
the fifties worked with what he called "small face-to-face groups – groups exhibiting industrial tensions,
religious tensions, racial tensions, and therapy groups in which many personal tensions were
present". Along with others drawing on the ideas of the Human Potential Movement, he extended the
group idea to broad population of 'normals' seeking personal growth, which he called encounter groups,
after the existential tradition of an authentic encounter between people.
Other leaders in the development of encounter groups, including Will Schutz, worked at the Esalen
Institute in Big Sur, California. Schutz himself stressed how "the terms 'T-group' (T for training) and
'sensitivity training group' are commonly used...synonymously with 'encounter group'".
Role play
Role play is a simulation in which each participant is given a role to play. Trainees are given with some
information related to description of the role, concerns, objectives, responsibilities, emotions, etc. Then,
a general description of the situation, and the problem that each one of them faces, is given. For
instance, situation could be strike in factory,
managing conflict, two parties in conflict, scheduling vacation days, etc. Once the participants read their
role descriptions, they act out their roles by interacting with one another.
Role Plays helps in
38
Developing interpersonal skills and communication skills
Conflict resolution
Group decision making
Developing insight into one’s own behavior and its impact on other.
Transactional analysis
Transactional analysis (TA) is a psychoanalytic theory and method of therapy wherein social
transactions are analyzed to determine the ego state of the patient (whether parent-like, child-like, or
adult-like) as a basis for understanding behavior. In transactional analysis, the patient is taught to alter
the ego state as a way to solve emotional problems. The method deviates from Freudian
psychoanalysis which focuses on increasing awareness of the contents of unconsciously held ideas. Eric
Berne developed the concept and paradigm of transactional analysis in the late 1950s.

confident in performing the assigned tasks. When their confidence level increased, they will become
more motivated, as now they understand with certainty that they can do the job well.
3. Shape employees’ attitudes - Human resource development can also be used to shape the
desired attitudes of employees. This is because with proper development programs, that are designed to
enhance employees’ soft-skills, employees’ attitudes can be shaped. For example, the interpersonal
skills, emotional quotient, positive thinking, proactive mindset and creativity of employees can be
increased through carefully designed development programs.
4. Increase employees’ satisfaction - When the employees are trained well, they will
