Introduction To Training & Development
Training is process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the application of
knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report

behaviors. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them
for an intended job.
Need for training :
Specifically, the need for training arises due to the following reasons: To match the
employee specifications with the Job requirements and organizational Needs: Management
finds deviations between employees present specifications and the job requirements and
organizational needs. Training is needed to fill these gaps by developing and molding the
employee skills, knowledge, attitude, behavior, etc to the tune of the job requirements
and organizational needs as felt Glaxo India, ICICI
Organizational Viability and the Transformation Process: The primary goal of most of the
organizations is that their viability is continuously influenced by environmental pressure. Ifthe organization desires to adapt to these changes, first it has to train the employees to
impart specific skills and knowledge in order to enable them to contribute to organizational
efficiency and to cope with training in order to ensure a smooth transformation process.
Technological Advance: Every organization to survive and to be effective should adopt the
latest technology i.e. mechanization, computerization and automation. So, the organization
should train the employees train the employees to enrich them in the areas of changing
technical skills and knowledge from time to time.Organizational Complexity: With the emergence of increased mechanization and
automation, manufacturing of multiple products and by-products or dealing in services of
diversified lines, extension of operations to various regions of the country or in overseas
countries, organization of most of the companies has become complex: This creates the
complex problems of co-ordination and integration of activities adaptable for and adaptable
to the expanding and diversifying situations. This situation calls for training in the skills of
co-ordination, integration and adaptability to the requirements of growth, diversification
and expansion.
Human relations: Trends in approach towards personnel management has changed from the
commodity approach to partnership approach, crossing the human relations besides
maintaining sound industrial relations although hitherto the managers are not accustomed
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
4/72
to deal with the workers accordingly. Training in human relations is necessary to deal with
human problems.
Change in the job assignment: Training is also necessary when the existing employee is
promoted to the higher level in the organization and when there is some new job or
occupation due to transfer. Training is also necessary to equip employees with advanced
displaces, techniques or technology. Training also becomes essential when an
organization has plans for modernization.
The need for training also arises to:
Increased Productivity.
Improved quality of the product/service.
Help a company to fulfill its future personnel needs.
Improved organizational climate.
Improved health and safety.
Prevent obsolescence.
Effect personal growth.
Minimize the resistance to change and
To act as mentor.

Need for the Study :
Shortage of skills.
Skills and knowledge people are always on short supply. Alternatively they are too costly
to hire from outside. The best alternative is to improve skill and knowledge of existing
employees.
Technological Obsolescence.
Growth of technology takes places very fast. This will render current technology obsolete
in the future. There is a great need to upgrade technology. This needs suitable training.
Personal Obsolescence.
At the time recruitment employees possess certain of knowledge and skill. As time passes
knowledge becomes obsolete, unless it is updated by proper training. This happens because
of changes taking place in product technology, production methods, procurement of better
machines, setting up of modern production lines, introduction of modern method of
supervision and information processing through MIS and EDO..
Organization Obsolescence.
Modern management has introduced a number of innovative steps in functions of
management like planning, organizing, controlling, coordinating and directing.
Organization which is impervious to such changes is bound to fail and become obsolete.
Upgrading Ability of Threshold workers.Public policy provides reservation to disadvantaged sections of the society like
handicapped, minorities and dependents of deceased workers etc. All these are threshold
workers having less than minimum prescribed level of knowledge and skill. They require
extensive training to bring them up to the minimum level of performance standard.
Coercive training by government.
In order to provide better employability chances of unemployed youth, certain governmentstaken initiative to mobilize resources available at pubic/government and private sectors to
outside candidates. One such example is the Apprentice Training conducted by govt. of
India. A part of expenditure incurred for this by private sectors are reimbursed by
government.
Human capital
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
9/72
The latest thinking is to treat employees as human capital. The expenditure involved is
training and developments are now being considered as an investment.
Environmental Influences on HRM: Since 1930s, certain developments took place,
which greatly contributed, to the evolution and growth of Human Resources Management
(HRM). These developments are given below:
Scientific Management
Labour Movements
Government Regulations.
Evolution of HRM
Personnel functions: Till 1930s, it was not felt necessary to have a separate discipline of
management called Personnel management. In fact, this job was assigned as part of the
factory manager. Adam Smiths concept of factory was that it consists of three resources,
land, labour and capital. This factory manager is expected to procure,
Process and peddle labour as one of the resources. The first time when such a specialist
person was used; it was to maintain a buffer between employer and employee to meet
the legitimate need of employees. However, it is the employer who decided what is
legitimate need of employees. In fact, the specialist person was more needed to prevent
unionization of employees. This was the case before 1930-s all over the world.Earlier references: In western countries HRM had its primitive beginning in 1930s. Not
much thought was given on this subject in particular and no written records or documents
interesting to note HRM concepts was available, in ancient philosophies of Greek, Indian
and Chinese. This is not to suggest that industrial establishment and factories system, as it
is known today, existed in ancient Greece, India or china. The philosophy of managing.

BACKGROUND SCENARIO TRAINING
William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could retain their jobs
by working at a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His research led him to believe that if
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
11/72
these same employees were properly motivated, they could work at 80-90% of their
capabilities. Behavioral science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity could
well be used for such improvements in employee output. Training could be one of the
means used to achieve such improvements through the effective and efficient use of
learning resources.
Training and development has been considered an integral part of any organization
since the industrial revolution era. From training imparted to improve mass production to
now training employees on soft skills and attitudinal change, training industry has come a
long way today. In fact most training companies are expecting the market to double by the
year 2007, which just means that the Indian training industry seems to have come of age.
Organization and individual should develop and progress simultaneously for the their
survival and attainment of mutual goals. So, every modern management has to develop the
organization through human resource development. Employee training is the most
important sub-system of human resources development. Training is a specialized function
and one of the fundamental operative functions for human resources management.
The market is unofficially estimated to be anywhere between Rs 3000 crores and Rs6000 crores. What is surprising is that the Indian companies. Perception regarding
corporate training seems to have undergone a sea-change in the past two years, with most
companies realizing it to be an integral part of enhancing productivity of its personnel.
While MNC.s with their global standards of training are the harbingers of corporate
training culture in India, the bug seems to have bitten most companies aiming at increasing
their efficiency.
According to Ms Pallavi Jha, Managing Director, Walchand Capital and Dale Carnegi
Training India, "The Indian training industry is estimated at approximately Rs 3,000 crores
per annum. The NFO study states that over a third of this is in the area of behavior and soft
skills development. With the exponential boom in the services sector and the emergence of
a full-fledged consumer-driven market, human resources have become the key assets,
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
12/72
which organizations cannot ignore. With soft skills training gaining so much momentum,
it.s imperative to understand if it serving the right purpose or not. With this background, I
plan to research if training indeed is proving to be effective in the behavioral area.
The following steps must form the basis of any training activity:
Determine the training needs and objectives.
Translate them into programs that meet the needs of the selected trainees.
Evaluate the results.
There are few generalizations about training that can help the practitioner. Training should
be seen as a long term investment in human resources using the equation given below:
Performance = ability (x) motivation
Training can have an impact on both these factors. It can heighten the skills and abilities of
the employees and their motivation by increasing their sense of commitment and
encouraging them to develop and use new skills. It is a powerful tool that can have a major
impact on both employee productivity and morale, if properly used.
Scope of Human Resource Management
The Scope of HRM is in deed fast. All major activities in the working life of workerfrom time of his entry in an organization until he / she leaves, come under the preview of
HRM. Specifically, the activities included are Human Resource planning, Job analysis and
design, Recruitment, Selection, Orientation and placement, Training and development,
Performance appraisal and Job evaluation, employee and executive remuneration and
communication, employee welfare, safety and health, industrial relations and the like.
HRM is becoming a specialized branch giving rise to a number of specialized areas like :
Staffing
Welfare and Safety
Wages and Salary Administration
Training and Development
Labour Relations
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
13/72
Objectives of the HRM are to secure the following: -
1. Industrial peace: This is secured by excellent union management relations, healthy inter-
personal relationships, and promoting participative management style and good industrial
and labour relations.
2. Achieve High Productivity: The underlying objective brings to increase the quantity or
volume of the product or service for a given input, productivity improvement programme
is very significant in a competitive environment.
3. Better quality of working life of employees: This involves both intrinsic and extrinsic
factors connected with work.
4. Obtain and sustain competitive advantage through empowerment : continuous
improvement and innovative steps being the two essential ingredients to achieve andsustain competitive advantage, todays industries
are knowledge based and skill intensive.
5. Cordial relationship between the employer and employees.
6. Personnel research functions.
7. Proper orientation and introduction to the new employees.
What is Training?
Training is the act of increasing the knowledge of an employee for doing a particular
job. -Edwin B Flippo
Training is process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the application of
knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their
behaviors. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them
for an intended job.
What is Development?
Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities which improve job
performance but also those which bring about growth of the personality. Training a
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
14/72
person for a bigger and higher job is development, this process includes not only
imparting skills but also certain mental and personality attributes.
Need for training :
Specifically, the need for training arises due to the following reasons: To

Classification of Training
There are a number of training methods available. Use of particular methods depends onthe trainees viz., worker, supervisor, and manager. Basically these methods can be
classified into following broad categories:
On the job training
Off the job training
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
17/72
In regard to employees, other than managers (executives following are the methods of
training:
On the job training
1. Apprenticeship training.
2. Job instruction training (JIT).
Off the job training
1.Class room lectures.
2. Conferences/seminars.
3. Group discussions/case study analysis.
4. Audio visual/film shows.5. Simulation/Computer modeling.
6. Vestibule training.
7. Programmed instructions (PI).
8. Games and Role-playing.
On The Job Training:
Apprenticeship Training:
Skilled worker and apprenticeship training. The duration of the course/training depends on
the nature of trade and desired skill level. Apprenticeship training is normally given to
artisans, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers and the like. The duration normally varies from
2 to 5 years. This should not mix up with government sponsored Apprenticeship
Training for unemployed youth certain underdeveloped nations like India. Apprenticeship
training is carried out under the guidance and intimate supervision of a master
craftsmans/expert worker/supervisor. During apprenticeship training period, the trainee is
paid less than that of a qualified worker.
Job Instruction Training(JIT):
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
18/72
During Second World War, Allied Forces experienced acute shortage of skilled craftsmen
and able supervisors. Special training programme was initiated on warfootings. Special
training. Training within industry(TWI) was one such programme. JIT was part of TWI.
JIT was intended for developing efficient supervisiors. JIT proved very effective and
extremely popular.
Off The Job Training:
Class Room Lectures:
This is the simplest form of training. This is a best form of instruction when the intention is
to convey information on rules, regulations, policies, and procedures. This form so also
suited on imparting knowledge on theory and concepts. Lecture form has limited successwhen the objective is to improve the skill level of trainees. Another advantage is that it can
be used effectively even when numbers of trainees. Another advantage is that it can be used
effectively even when numbers of trainees are more. It also saves time. Major disadvantage
is that it involves passive participants of trainees and depends on ability of teacher to a
great extent.
Conferences, Seminars and Workshops:
This is a formal method of arranging meeting in which in which individuals confer todiscuss points of common interest for enriching their knowledge and skill. This is a group
activity. It encourages group discussion and participation of individuals for seeking
clarifications and offering explanatations and own experiences. It is a planned activity with
a leader/ moderator to guide the proceedings, which is focused on agreed agenda points
prefixed during planning of such conferences. There are 3 variations nearly Directed
conferences, Training conference and seminar/workshops.
Audio/Visual and film shows:
In order to improve understanding, audio-visual aids considered very useful and sometimes
inescapable to demonstrate operation of a machine or explain a process. Audio visual and
film shows can supplement the efforts of lecturing and improve its effectiveness.
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
19/72
Group Discussions and Case study analysis:
Christopher Langdell initially introduced case study method at Harvard Law School in
1880s. The principle used is experience is the best teacher. Here several empirical
studies are examined in details to find out commonalities to derive general principles. This
method has, however, limited use for workers but better use for supervisiors. In case of
workers , one area of importance in this method is that of quality control .
The case study is based upon the belief that managerial competence can best attained
through the study, contemplation and discussion of concrete cases.
Simulation/Computer Modelling:
Any training activity in which actual working environment is artificially created as near
and realistic as possible, is called simulation training. Case study analysis experimenting
exercises, game playing, computer modeling and vestibule training etc. come under this
category. When using computer-programming method artificially creates work
environment, we call it computer modeling.
Vestibule Training :
In vestibule training, employees are trained on the equipment they are employed, but the
training is conducted away from the place of work. For training a machineshop operator, a
vestibule or separate room is arranged for training in which all necessary equipment and
machines required in an actual machineshop are duplicated.
Programmed instruction:
Programmed instruction is a structured method of instruction aided through texts, handouts,
books, and computer aided instructions(CAI) . In this case the instruction material and
information is broken down in meaningful units and arranged in a proper sequence to form
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
20/72
a logical method of learning package, the learning ability is tested and evaluated in real
time basis.
Retraining:
Technology is advancing at a very rapid pace. Hence obsolescence is a major problem
fixed by individual workers. Second problem faced by the workers are the introduction of
automation. Loyal workers of long service, suddenly find themselves useless to the
company. There are many instances of protests and fear by many workers in various fields
like railways, posts and telegraphs, LIC, Banking etc..
Phases of training:
The various steps involved in the design and development of training programmeparticularly for the employees are:
1) Identification of training needs of employees
2) Planning of training programme
3) Preparation of trainees
4) Implementation
5) Evaluation
The last stage in the training programme process is the evaluation of results this is the main
part to know the effectiveness/determines the results of the training programme.

IMPEDIMENTS TO EFFECTIVE TRAINING :
There are impediments which can make a training programme ineffective:
Management commitment is lacking and uneven: Most companies do not spend
money on training. Those that do tend to concentrate on managers, technicians and
professionals. The rank and file workers are ignored. This must change for as a
result of rapid technological change, combined with new approaches to
organizational design and production management, workers are required to learnthree types of new skills:
(I)the ability to use technology.
(ii) the ability to maintain it.
(iii) the ability to diagnose system problems.
In an increasingly competitive environment, the ability to implement
rapid changes in product and technologies is often essential for economic
viability. Aggregate spending on training is inadequate: companies spend misuscule of their
revenues on training. Worse still, budget allocation to training is the first item to be
cut when a company faces financial crunch.
Educational institutions award degrees but graduates lack skills: This is the reason
why business must spend vast sums of money to train workers in basic skills.
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
23/72
Organizations also need to train employees in multiple skills. Managers,
particularly at the middle level, need to be retrained in team-playing skills,
entrepreneurship skills, leadership skills and customer oriented skills.
Large scale poaching of trained workers: Trained workforce is in great demand.
Unlike Germany, where local business groups pressure companies not to poach
companys employees there is no such system in our country. Companies in our
country, however insist on employees to sign bongs of tenure before sending them
for training, particularly before deputing them to undergo training in foreign
countries. Such bonds are not effective as the employees or the poachers are to pay
the stipulated amounts as compensation when the bounds are breached.
No help to workers displaced because of downsizing: Organizations are
downsizing and de-layering in order to trim their workforces. The govt should setapart certain fund from the national renewal fund for the purpose of retraining and
rehabilitating displaced workers.
Employers and B schools must develop closer ties: B schools are often seen as
not responding to labour-market demands. Business is seen as not communicating
its demand in B schools. This must change.
Organised labour can help: organized labour can play a positive role in imparting
trainng to workers. Major trade unions in our country seem to be busy in attendingto mundane issues such as bonus, wages, settlement of disputes and the like. They
have little time in imparting training to their members.

knowledge and skills for a definite purpose and then reward the employees based on the
performance through performance appraisal system after the training programme are
conducted. Therefore the study is completely based on the training and development
programmes conducted in PCS .
Objectives of the study
To analyze the training methods followed in PCS its merits pitfalls.
To put forward suggestions and recommendations in the Training methods followed
in the organization.
To analyse whether the training has reached the employees.
The purpose of the study is to understand the training and development
programme followed in PCS. The methodology evolves from the objectives
of the project and involves collecting primary and secondary data.
Research Design
The research design adopted is descriptive research design. It involves fact-finding,
Inquiries of different kinds etc. The researcher has a wide variety of methods to consider,
either singly or in combination. They can be grouped as
1. Primary source of data
2. Secondary source of data
For this dissertation the data was collected from both the sources.
Primary dataData is made available through interview and questionnaires.
Appointments were with scientists and interviews were conducted. Questionnaires were
prepared for trainers and trainees to know the methods adopted by the organization.
Secondary data Data were collected from documents, records, Journals, Internet, text
books and company past records etc.

FORMULATION OF HYPOTHESIS
The hypothesis has been to analyze the effectiveness of training programme conducted in
the company i.e. it analyzes the effective training methods and techniques adopted to
achieve the organizational goals.
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report

Tools used for testing of hypothesis
A Hypothesis is the tentative explanatation for something. It frequently attempts to answer
the questions How and Why at one level, hypothesis simply suggests how particular
variable is related.
At a more theoretical level hypothesis may offer a reason for the way that particular
variable was selected generally speaking, it is a logically organized set of proposition
which serves to define the events describe the relationships among these events and
explains the occurrence of these events.
By hypothesis we mean a statement hypothesis testing deals with a procedure, which
aspects or rejects the hypothesis.
The two hypothesis are :
NULL HYPOTHESIS
It states there is no significance difference between the sample value and population value.
This means that the observe difference is clue to the random fluctuations Ho denotes the
null hypothesis.
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
In case the null is rejected, we should have the alternate hypothesis to accept alternativehypothesis denoted accordingly.
Types of Errors
While testing hypothesis, there are four possible combinations between the population
value and sample value. The four combinations are:
Hypothesis is true & test accepts it.
Hypothesis is true & test rejects it. (Type 1 error)
Hypothesis is false & test accepts it. (Type 2 error)
Hypothesis is false & test rejects it.
Level of significance
It is nothing but the probability of rejecting a true hypothesis and denoted by .
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
35/72
1- gives the level of confidence of the experiment in taking the decision. It is always
preferable to keep the level of significance at a low percentage. It means that we should not
reject a true hypothesis. represents the risk of accepting a false hypothesis 1- is called
the power of the test.
Acceptance region
This represents the region with in which the calculated of the statistics must lie to accept
the null hypothesis. If calculated value lies in this region then the null hypothesis will be
rejected.
Hypothesis testing procedure :
1. Set up a null hypothesis denoted by Ho this means there is no significant differencebetween sample value and population value. In case if Ho is rejected we must have an
alternative hypothesis.
2. Select the level of significance.
3. Select an appropriate distribution for the test, which is known as test hypothesis the
distribution generally used are normal distribution students t distribution, Fisher F
distribution or chi-square distribution.
4. Calculate the necessary values from the given data for the test.
5. Make conclusion from testing. If calculated value is less than the tabulated value,
else Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected.
Test of Hypothesis
Whether the training and development activities has reached the employees or not .
Efforts are made in the study for proving the following hypothesis.
Information:
Sample size : 40
Number of respondents for YES : 38
Number of respondents for NO : 2
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
36/72
Assumptions:
The test is at 5% level of significance.
It is assumed that out of total population 5% of the respondents will respond negatively.
Such a test for attributes are one tailed on the basis of the above assumptions
Null hypothesis = Ho = Training and development activities has not reached the employees
effectively.
Alternative hypothesis = Ha = Training and development activities has reached the
employees effectively.
Test statistic Zcal = p-P
PQ nwhen n = sample size
p = Population proportion
P = sample proportion
Q = Significance
Given:
p = 38/40 = 0.92P = 95% = 0.95
Q = 1-P = 1-0.95 = 0.05
n = 40
Therfore,
Zcal = p-P
PQ/n
= 0.950.05/40
= 0.03
Zcal = 0.92-0.95
0.03
7/31/2019 HRM-Training and Development Systems project report
37/72
Ztab = 1.96
Conclusion
Zcal < Ztab
Therefore , we can infer that training and development activities has reached the employees
effectively.
Limitations of the study
1. The time duration was very short, to complete the study in the stipulated time.
2. The study is purely confined to PCS and based on the facts and data provided by the
company.
3. Due to time and financial constraints it was possible to interview 40 respondentsthough we selected 60 respondents. However, adequate representation was given for all
categories of employees and officers.
TRAINING IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING:
Growth, Expansion and Modernization
To increase productivity and profitability, reduce cost and finally enhance skill and
knowledge of the employee. To prevent obsolescence.
To help in developing a problem solving attitude.
To give people awareness of rules and procedures.
To make people more competent .
To make personnel become committed to their job resulting in pro activeness.
To make people trust each other more.
