INTRODUCTION TO TRAINING AND DEVEOPMENT
2
Every organization needs to have well-trained and experienced people to perform
the activities that have to be done in organization and individuals should develop and
progress simultaneously for their survival and attainment of mutual goal. Every Modern
management has to develop the organization through human resource development. In
adequate job performance or a decline in productivity or changes resulting out of job
resigning or a technological break through require some type of training and development
efforts. The jobs become more complex and the importance of employee development
also increases.
MEANING
After an employee is selected, placed and introduced he or she must be provided
with training facilities. It is used for increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee
for doing a particular job. It is a short term educational process and utilizing a systematic
and organized procedure by which employees learn technical knowledge & skills for
definite purpose.
Dale S Beach defines the Training as “the organized procedure by which people
learn knowledge, skill, behavior, aptitude, and attitude to the requirements of the job and
organization.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
3
Definition of training and development
Training and development is any attempt to improve current or future employee
performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually by
changing the employee’s attitude or increasing skills and knowledge.
Inputs in Training and Development
Any training and development program me must contain inputs which enable the
participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look into
the distant future. In addition to these, there is a need to impart ethical orientation,
emphasize on attitudinal changes and stress upon decision-making and problem-solving
abilities.
Skills
Training is imparting skills to employees. A worker needs skills to operate machines,
and use other equipment with least damage and scrap. This is a basic skill without which
the operator will not be able to function. There is also the need for motor skills. Motor
skills refer to performance of specific physical activities. These skills involve learning to
move various parts of one’s body in response to certain external and internal stimuli.
Common motor skills include walking, riding a bicycle, tying a shoelace, throwing a ball,
and driving a car. Motor skills are needed for all employees from the janitor to the
general manager. Employees, particularly supervisors and executives, need interpersonal
skills popularly known as the people skills. Interpersonal skills are needed to understand
oneself and others better, and act accordingly. Examples of interpersonal skills include
listening, persuading, and showing an understanding of others’ feelings.
Education
4
The purpose of education is to teach theoretical concepts and develop a sense of
reasoning and judgment. That any training and development programme must contain an
element of education is well understood by HR specialists. Any such programme has
university professors as resource persons to enlighten participants about theoretical
knowledge of the topics proposed to be discussed. In fact, organizations depute or
encourage employees to do courses on a part-time basis. Chief Executive Officers are
known to attend refresher courses conducted by business schools. Education is more
important for managers and executives than for lower-cadre workers.
Development
Another component of a training and development programme is development which
is less skill oriented but stresses on knowledge. Knowledge about business environment,
management principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry analysis and
the like is useful for better management of a company.
Concept of Training
Training is the process of increasing the knowledge and skills for doing a particular
job. It is an organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and skill for a definite
purpose. The purpose of training is basically to bridge the gap between job requirements
and present competence of an employee. Training is aimed at improving the behavior and
performance of a person. It is never-ending or continuous process .Employee training is
distinct from management development. Training is a short term process utilizing a
systematic and organized procedure by which non-managerial personnel learn technical
knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. It refers to instructions in technical and
mechanical operations of a machine. It is designed primarily for managers. It is for a
short duration and for a specific job related purpose.
5
On the other hand, development is a long-term education process utilizing a
systematic and organized procedure by which managerial personnel learn conceptual and
theoretical knowledge for general purpose.. It involves broader education and its purpose
is long-term development.
Differences between Training and Development
“Training is short-term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by
which non-managerial personnel learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite
purpose.”
“Development is a long-term educational process utilizing a systematic and organized
procedure by which managerial personnel learn conceptual and theoretical knowledge for
general purpose.” “Training” refers only to instruction in technical and mechanical
operations, while “Development” refers to philosophical and theoretical educational
concepts. Training is designed for non-managers, while development involves managerial
personnel. In the words of Campbell, “training courses are typically designed for a short-
term, stated set purpose, such as the operation of some pieces of machinery, while
development involves a broader education for long-term purposes.”Training and
development differ in four ways:
“What” is learned;
“Who” is learning;
“Why” such learning takes place;
“When” learning occurs.

Training Objectives
Once the training needs are identified, the next step is to set training objective terms
and decide the strategies to be adopted to achieve these objectives. The overall aim of a
training programme is to fill the gap between the existing and the desired pool of
knowledge, skills and attitudes. Objectives of training express the gap between the
present and desired performance levels. Definition of training objectives in both
quantitative and qualitative terms will help to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of
training. Involvement of top management is necessary to integrate the training objectives
with the organizational objectives.
IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING:
Training is most important technique of human resource development. As stated,
no organization can get a candidate who exactly matches with the job and the
organizational requirements. Hence training is important to develop the employee and
make him suitable to the job. Training is the corner stone of sound management.
7
Job and organizational requirements are not static, they change from time to time in view
of technological advancement and change in the awareness of the Total Quality and
Productivity Management (TQPM).
TQPM can be achieved only through training as training develops human skills and
efficiency.
“Trained employees would be valuable asset to an organization”
It is an integral part of the whole management programme with all its many activities
functionally inter related.
Training is a widely accepted problem-solving device. Indeed, our national superiority in
manpower productivity can be attributed in no small measure to the success of our
educational and Industrial training programmers.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
Executives are the most valuable assets of any organization. The manager is the
dynamic life-giving element in the organization. The success and growth of organization
depends on caliber and performance of the executive. It is essential to train develop
executives who can succeed the managers of today.
Concept of Executive Development
Executive Development or management development is a systematic process of learning
and growth by which managerial personnel gain and apply knowledge, skills, attitudes
and insights to manage the work in their organizations effectively and efficiently. It is an
educational process through which Executive learn conceptual, theoretical knowledge
9
and managerial skills in an organized manner. The main aim of formal education for
manager is to increase his ability to learn from experience.
Executive development consists of all the means by which executives learn to improve
their behaviors and performance. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of managers
in their present jobs and to prepare them for higher job in future. According to Flippo,
“management development includes the process by which managers and executives
acquire not only skills and competency in their present jobs but also capabilities for
future managerial tasks of increasing difficulty and scope”. Thus, executive development
is any planned effort to improve current and future managerial performance. It is an
attempt at improving an individual’s managerial effectiveness through a planned and
deliberate process of learning.
An analysis of these definitions reveals the following characteristics of executive
development:
• Executive development is a planned and organized process of learning rather than
an accident or trail and error approach.
• It is an ongoing or never-ending exercise rather than a ‘one shot’ affair. It
continues throughout an executive’s entire professional career because there is no
end to learning.
• Executive development is a long-term process, as managerial skills cannot be
developed overnight.
• Executive development aims at preparing managers for better performance and
helping them to realize their full potential.
10
Executive development is guided self-development. An organization can provide
opportunities for development of executive himself. Executive development is possible
only when the individual has the desire to learn and practice what he learns. No amount
of coercion can lead to development. Executive development is eventually something that
executive has to attain himself. But he will do this better if his company gives him
encouragement, guidance and opportunity.
Objectives of Executive Development
Any programme of executive development aims at achieving the following ways.
To improve the performance of managers at all levels in their present jobs.
To sustain good performance of managers throughout their careers by exploiting
they’re full potential i.e., to prepare managers for higher jobs in future.
To prevent obsolescence of executive by exposing them to latest contest and
techniques in their respective areas of specialization.
To replace elderly executives who have risen from the ranks by highly competent
and academically qualified professionals.
To provide opportunities to executives to fulfill there career aspirations.
To ensure that the managerial resources of the organization are utilized optimally.
