Acknowledgment
During the period of preparing the report, I had gained
altruistic assistance from a number of people
including my honorable and respectable supervisor Neaz Ahmed.
Thanks to him not only for the
reason that he allowed me to proceed with the research, but also
for his directional insight which
showed me the ways. Whenever I approached him with the problems,
he was ready to show me the
right direction. It would not be possible to conduct it without

Thanks to Mr. Abul Ali Ahad sir, Principal of the MTB training
institute for providing me all kind of
help. I also want to thank the whole team of MTB to help me in

Executive Summary
Training activities are one of the major activities in an
organization. Mutual Trust Bank Training
Institute (MTBTI) is an ideal place for training the employees
on different topics. An excellent team
of trainers conduct the training programs. Their dedicated work
makes them possible to train
employees to improve their work performance.
Having one of the most equipped training institutes, MTB is
proud of its trainers and trainees. The
report concentrated mainly on the training institute. As a
private commercial bank, work pressure is
very high in Mutual Trust Bank. So they need highly professional
people who are very dedicated to
their work, otherwise the whole operation will mess up. This is
a great challenge for
any organization to have such talented people.
The success of a commercial bank depends largely on the quality
of service rendered to the clients.
Quality of service depends on the competence and the quality of
the employees of the organization.
Qualities can be improved by providing appropriate training to
employees. Therefore, the authority
of MTB has to be careful in training.
As the training process of MTB is improving, the policy and
process should be revised. Although the process they have been
adopting so far has been somewhat effective, to adapt to the
changing times, the process should be revised and streamlined.

1.3 Scope:
I wanted to enrich the report with all the relevant training
information of MTB. But as some training
information is confidential, I could not do that. So i conducted
the training and development analysis
on the trainees of MTB training institute (MTBTI). I tried to
collect the training information of the
current trainees of MTBTI and conducted a survey on them with a
questionnaire. After preparing the
report I can say that this study about the training will be
approximately same for all employees of
MTB.I can assure that the report will be enough to show the
practice of Employee Training and
development activities of the bank.

2 Literature Review
Training and development programs play vital role in every
organization. These programs improve
employee performance at workplace, it updates employee knowledge
and enhances their personal
skills and it help in avoiding managerial obsolescence. With the
use of these programs, it is easier for
the management to evaluate the job performance and accordingly
take decisions like employee
promotion, rewards, compensations, welfare facilities, etc.
These training programs also help the
managers in succession planning, employee retention and
motivation. It creates efficient and
effective employees in the organization.
2.1 Training: According to the Michel Armstrong, Training is
systematic development of the knowledge, skills and
attitudes required by an individual to perform adequately a
given task or job (Armstrong, 2001).
According to the Edwin B Flippo, Training is the act of
increasing knowledge and skills of an
employee for doing a particular job (Flippo, 1984)
The term training indicates the process involved in improving
the aptitudes, skills and abilities of
the employees to perform specific jobs. Training helps in
updating old talents and developing new
ones. Successful candidates placed on the jobs need training to
perform their duties effectively.
(Aswathappa, 2000)
The principal objective of training is to make sure the
availability of a skilled and willing workforce to
the organization. In addition to that, there are four other
objectives: Individual, Organizational,
Functional, and Social.
Individual Objectives These objectives are helpful to employees
in achieving their personal goals,
which in turn, enhances the individual contribution to the
organization.
Organizational Objectives Organizational objectives assists the
organization with its primary
objective by bringing individual effectiveness.
Functional Objectives Functional objectives are maintaining the
departments
contribution at a level suitable to the organizations needs.
Social Objectives Social objectives ensures that the
organization is ethically and socially
responsible to the needs and challenges of the society.
(Goldstein, 1993)
-
4 | P a g e
Further, the additional objectives are as follows:
To prepare the employees both new and old to meet the present as
well as the changing
requirements of the job and the organization.
To impart the basic knowledge and skill in the new entrants that
they need for an intelligent
performance of a definite job.
To prepare the employees for higher level tasks.
To assist the employees to function more effectively in their
present positions by exposing them to
the latest concepts, information and techniques and developing
the skills they will need in their
particular fields.
To build up a second line of competent officers and prepare them
to occupy more responsible
positions.
To ensure smooth and efficient working of the departments.
To ensure economic output of required quality.
2.1.1 Types of training and development programs
Different practices are followed in different industries and in
different organizations. So, the need of
training and development programs is depending on the
requirements of the job profile. Therefore
there are various types of programs shared by different authors.
The types of training and
development programs are as follows:
Table 1: Types of training
On- the -Job Training Off the- Job Training
Job Instructions Apprenticeship & Coaching Job Rotation
Committee Assignment Internship Training Training through step by
step
Programmed Instructions Class Room Lectures Simulation Exercises
Business Games Case Study Method Audio- visual Method Experiential
Exercises Vestibule training Computer Modelling Behavioral
Modelling Role Playing Conference/ Discussion Method Workshop /
Seminars (Goldstein, 1993)

2.1.2 Stages of Training and Development Programs:
Training should be conducted in a systematic order so as to
derive expected benefits from it. The
training system involves four stages, namely:
Assessment of training and development programs needs.
Designing the training and development programs.
Implementation of the training program
Evaluation of the training program
Figure 1: Stages in training and development Programs (Rao,
2009)
2.2 Development:
Employee Development Programs are designed to meet specific
objectives, which contribute to both
employee and organizational effectiveness. There are several
steps in the process of management
development. These includes reviewing organizational objectives,
evaluating the organizations
current management resources, determining individual needs,
designing and implementing
development programs and evaluating the effectiveness of these
programs and measuring the
impact of training on participants quality of work life.
There are various authors who shared their views regarding the
role of training and development in
different aspects. The following Table provides the opinions of
different authors regarding the view
of training and development.
-
6 | P a g e
Table 2: Training and development according to different
authors
Authors Opinions of different authors regarding Training &
Development
Yoder (1970)
Training and development in todays employment setting is far
more appropriate than training alone since human resources can
exert their full potentials only when the learning process goes for
beyond the simple routine.
Chris (1996)
Training and development aim at developing competences such as
technical, human, conceptual and managerial for the furtherance of
individual and organization growth
Akinpeju (1999)
The process of training and development is a continuous one. The
need to perform ones job efficiently and the need to know how to
lead others are sufficient reasons for training and development and
the desire to meet organizations objectives of higher productivity,
makes it absolutely compulsory.
(Kulkarni, 2013)
2.3 Difference between Training and Development:
Training is concerned with the immediate improvement of specific
skill of the employee, which is the
ways to make the employee more effective in his current role
whereas development is a process to
make the employee efficient enough to handle critical situations
in the future, which is how well he
can equip himself for the future demands. The basic difference
is; training focuses on the current job
skill (Short term process) whereby the development focuses on
the future job skill and efficiency
(Long term process).

transformation between 2009 and 2013
in terms of HR practices. Back in 2008, MTB had a traditional HR
system which was basically a

in manual day-to-day HR routine
operational activities. A revolutionary change has been brought
in all HR functions under the
supervision of skilled HR professionals of MTB. MTB incorporated
world-class benefits and facilities

employees information, training, circulars, upcoming events and
recognition programs.
Along with that, in order to bring about greater alignment
between corporate objectives and
individual growth, the Banks Performance Management System, has
been streamlined in 2013. The
changes have helped to increase the ownership of appraiser and
reviewer in the performance
management process.
MTB recognizes that its success is deeply embedded in the
success of its human capital. During 2012-
13, the Bank continued to strengthen its HR processes in line
with its MTB3V, of creating an inspired
workforce. The employee engagement initiatives included placing
greater emphasis on learning
and development, launching leadership development programs,
introducing internal
communication, providing opportunities to employees to seek
aspirational roles through internal
job postings and periodic job rotations, streamlining the
Performance Management System, making
the compensation structure more competitive and streamlining the
performance-linked
rewards and incentives.

3.9 Performance of Bank in 2013
2013 was a focus year for Mutual Trust Bank as regards expansion
and diversification of various
business lines. A strategic approach streamlining diverse
business opportunities had been
undertaken, but due to the adverse economic situation it was not
a completely successful business
year. They achieved a remarkable growth in diversification of
business, though the year was marked
with fierce competition amongst the major players seeking to
streamline themselves in order to
keep pace with transformation.
As of the year 2013, MTBs total assets along with subsidiaries
had risen to 8.91% over 2012,
reaching BDT 101,464 million. Accompanying this quantitative
growth was an improvement in asset
quality, with careful risk management measures contributing to
high quality loans and advances. The
NPL ratio of the bank decreased to 3.62% from 3.69%, which is
still much lower than that of the
countrys NPL (MTB, 2013).
In 2013, Net Income increased by 74.84%, to BDT 573 million from
BDT 328 million over the previous
year. A number of successful strategies were taken in 2013,
including steady growth of savings and
lending businesses, development of more innovative and
customer-centric financial products.

4 Training and Development in Mutual Trust Bank Limited:
The Bank has built a training infrastructure which is
state-of-the-art: Mutual Trust Bank Training
Institute (MTBTI).It is situated in MTB square, 210/A/1 Tejgaon
Industrial Area, Tejgaon, Dhaka 1208.
The agship in-house programs of MTBTI include the induction
program for new entrants and credit
and foreign exchange programs for building a pool of specialists
in the respective domains. External
programs for team- building, leadership, organizational
development, management development
programs and people management programs have been organized for
all employees. As a part of
leadership and management development program, MTB has recruited
75 Management trainees
(MMT2011, MMT2012, MMT2013, MMT 2014) from 2011 to 2014. They go

4.2 Major Types of Training of MTB:
The major types of training are:
Orientation of new employees
Business etiquette training
On The Job Training
Off The Job Training
4.2.1 Orientation of new employees:
This orientation can strengthen the new employees relationship
with the organization. This
program integrates new employees into company and makes them
feel comfortable and
welcome. It is an important step in helping them adjust to the
workplace and the job. It gives a
brief idea about the mission and vision of the company.
4.2.2 Business Etiquette Training:
MTB arrange business etiquette training to all of its employees
to provide an idea about the
culture of the company. In this training several things like
dining etiquette, communication
basics, dress code, speaking style, and presentation style are
discussed. This program helps
employees to get the real picture of companys expectation from
them.
4.2.3 On the Job Training:
During on the job training, a trainee gets the opportunity to
have the firsthand experience of the
banking activities. They are posted in different branches or any
department of head office to
practically see the process. During on the job training say,
general banking, the officers are
required to undergo rotation in general banking activities.
Similar process is followed in case of
CRM & Foreign Exchange.
4.2.4 Off the Job Training:
To get better performance from the employees MTB also arranges
some off job training. They are
(Intranet of MTB, 2014):
Class Room Training or Lecture
Video Presentation
Laboratory Training
Case Study
-
16 | P a g e
Class Room or lecture
This is the most common and simplest form of off job training.
In this process, lecturers from
different department are called to take the class on a specified
subject. Mostly the veteran
bankers take the class. Employees from different departments can
participate in this training.
Video Presentation
It allows the trainee to solve a specific problem, and receive
immediate feedback using the
videos. This training is very much communicative and helpful for
the trainees. Different messages
can be given perfectly through this video presentation.
Team building training
It is designed to develop the interpersonal skills, which can
help them for future job
responsibilities. Its main objective is to develop the skills of
an employee to work effectively in a
team.
Case Study
It attempts to simulate decision making situation that trainee
might find on the job. The trainee
must make certain judgment and identify possible solution to the
problem. This training is very
much important for management employees. By this training they
learn about the real
hypothetical circumstances.
4.3 Faculty of MTB training program:
The training institute has built up a pool of
knowledgeable/competent trainer within the bank. In
addition to permanent and professional trainers, speakers are
drawn from operational side so
that on the job experience may be exchanged and shared. Over and
above, speakers from Central
Bank, professional training institutions, universities, research
organizations and Govt.
organizations are also invited to share views and experience.
Senior and retired bankers are also
regularly invited.
4.4 Library of MTB Training Institute:
The institute has a good collection of books, journals and
magazines. The books are mainly on
subjects like banking, economics, accounting, management and
marketing etc. The books are
issued the employees only. There is enough space in the library
to sit and read different kinds of
books.

4.5 Online requisition for training:
It is a very innovative idea for MTB. There are some moments
when employees think that they
need some training in a specified subject. To help them
understand and get the training they
need, they can go to MTB Intranet and give nomination for the
training. If there are a certain
number of people for a specified training then the training
institute arranges that training. This
online requisition for training is very popular in MTB.
4.6 Training Calendar:
In MTB intranet there is a training calendar open for all. From
this calendar the employees can
see what training is currently operating and if they find it
important then they can apply for it.

Off the job training only 8 20.00%

Figure 8: Types of training undergone by employees
Concept: On job and off job training both are important while
training an employee. Sometimes on
job training becomes more effective for the employees because
employees get more experience and
practical example from this training than off job trainings.
Analysis: From the above illustration we can see, the off job
training only figure is 20%, on job only is
25 % and both is 55%. MTB focuses on both kind of training to
get the utmost benefit from the
employees. Off the job trainings are effective for learning the
rules and regulations of the banking
whereas on the job training is effective for getting practical
experiences.

Concept: Training must meet the expectation of the trainees; if
the training doesnt meet the
expectation of trainees then the full training is not worthwhile
to the organization and to the
employees.
Analysis: As we can see from the above illustration, 80%
employees marked on strongly agree that
the trainings met their expectations and rest 20 % marked on
agree, that means they also think the

Figure 10: Applying the training knowledge
Concept: Employees are expected to implement their learning from
the training in their practical
work. If an employee become unable to apply his/her learning in
the job, what he/she got from the
training then the ultimate benefit from the training is
basically nothing. An employee should be able
to apply his knowledge in the job what he has learned from the
training to enrich his effectiveness
toward the job.
Analysis: The illustration shows that 62.5% employees strongly
believe that they will be able to apply
the knowledge learned from the trainings and 37.5% employees
agree with the same statement.

Figure 11: Covering each training objective
Concept: To deliver a fruitful training to the employees, a
trainer should ensure that the training
objective for each of the topic were identified and followed and
the trainees must support the
trainer to do so. It needs both efforts to meet the objective
and to identify the objective of overall
training.
Analysis: From the above illustration we can see 20% employees

Concept: To make the training more meaningful and communicative,
the training content must be
easy, organized and structured. If the trainees cannot follow
the training contents easily and get
stuck with the unorganized training material content then they
will not be able to concentrate and
the training will not become effective.

From the analysis of the data we can say that the training that
MTB organizes for its employees, is
meeting their expectation.

pertinent:
Most of the employees believe that the training materials were
not that much useful and relevant to
the specific training.
5.2.5 Time distribution was better for the training
programs:
Most of the employees agree that the time sliced for each
training course was better and they had
plenty of time to understand the training topics in the class
room. But few of them disagreed with
that. Which means MTB can give some importance to this
matter.

From the employees response it is seen that the trainers were
knowledgeable to operate the
training operation to the trainees.

trainings:

other training like managerial trainings, interpersonal
trainings and English language trainings.
-
34 | P a g e
6 Recommendation:
MTB should arrange other trainings more (managerial trainings,
English speaking, reading,
writing training, quick customer service trainings, etc.)
Training time for specific trainings need to be expanded.
MTB should arrange on job training rather than off job
training.
Training contents should be organized and more relevant.
Employees should get comprehensive training on operating and
maintaining the software
Flora.
The HR department should find out why employees think outside
institution trainings are
more useful than in house trainings.
The ROI The return on investment made towards training and
development activity need
to be measured.
Employees have to be aware about the cost invested by company
indirectly and they will be
motivated to get the desired result.

7 Conclusion:
Lots of new commercial banks have been established in last few
years and these banks have made
this sector very competitive. The success of a bank depends on
the better service from the bankers
to customers. Successful training and development can develop
highly trained bankers in the banks,
who can serve the customer well, and can achieve customer
satisfaction for the organization. By
proper training and development process employees become more
efficient and can contribute well
in the organization in every work.
MTB is setting new standards in the Banking sector in the time
of turbulent economic conditions.
From the very inception it plays a vital role in the national
economy. To keep pace with the motto,
they provide proper attention on every department including the
Human Resources Department. An
important function of this HR Department is Training and
Development. Banking sector no more
depends on a traditional method of banking. In this competitive
world, this sector has trenched its
wings wide enough to cover any kind of financial service
anywhere in this world.
This report has tried to present the training and development
practices in MTB. From the analysis I
found the Training and Development system is a very satisfactory
one. During the time of my
internship, I got the support as per my demand for attaining
this knowledge and to get proper
information about my topic.
Despite few problems in training and development section in MTB,
it is improving its employee and
executive skill to reach the summit.
