PROJECT REPORT
ON
“TRAINING NEED & ANALYSIS.”
Submitted To:
COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT AND COMPUTER APPLICATION, MORADABAD
In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement of the Degree of BBA
vital in today's changing workplace as new technologies and flexible working
practices are introduced, leading to corresponding changes in the skills and
abilities needed. Analysing what the training needs are is a vital prerequisite for
any effective training programme or event. Simply throwing training at
individuals may miss the priority needs, and even cover areas that are not
essential. Analysing training needs is not a task for specialists alone. Managers
today are responsible for all forms of people management, including the training
and development of their team, and should therefore have an understanding of
training needs analysis and be able to implement it successfully.
NEED FOR TRAINING
To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for
definite tasks.
To assist employees to function more effectively in their present positions by
exposing them to new concepts.
To build a line of competent people and prepare them to occupy more
responsible positions.
To reduce the supervision time, wastage and spoilage of new material.
To reduce the defects and minimize the industrial accidents.
To ensure the economical output of the required quality.
To prevent obsolescence.
To promote individual and collective morale, responsibility and cooperative
attitudes etc.
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
MOTIVATION
Learning is enhanced when the learner is motivated. Learning experience must
be designed so learners can see how it will help in achieving the goals of the
organization. Effectiveness of training depends on motivation.
FEEDBACK
Training requires feedback. It is required so the trainee can correct his mistakes.
Only getting information about how he is doing to achieve goals, he can correct
the deviations.
REINFORCEMENT
The principle of reinforcement tells the behaviours that are positively reinforced
are encouraged and sustained. It increases the likelihood that a learned behavior
well be repeated.
PRACTICE
Practice increases a trainee’s performance. When the trainees practice actually,
they gain confidence and are less likely to make errors or to forget what they
have learned.
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
Individual training is costly. Group training is advantageous to the organization.
Individuals vary in intelligence and aptitude from person to person. Training
must be geared to the intelligence and aptitude of individual trainee.
SCOPE OF STUDY
SCOPE OF STUDY
Technology - Multi skilling programs
Organisation - continuous improvement programs
People - changing attitudes & behaviours
Festo Didactic is in a position to support clients in all three areas.
Our Consultants are on hand to help you decide which route best meets your needs. Whether it's selecting training places from our Open Course Program, designing tailored or in-company training programs to meet your needs or working closely with you to define and implement business improvement projects.
The success of any learning intervention or business improvement program is ultimately reflected in the day to day habits of the people in the organisation and the processes by which the business runs.
Our experience has taught us that to make improvements that stick and have a real impact organistations must focus on the three key dimensions of:
OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING
TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY
An instructor can help employees increase their level of performance on their
assignment. Increase in human performance leads to increase in the operational
productivity and also the increase in the profit of the company.
TO IMPROVE QUALITY
Better-trained workers are less likely to make operational mistakes. It can be in
relationship to the company or in reference to the intangible organizational
employment atmosphere.
TO HELP A COMPANY FULFILL ITS FUTURE PERSONNEL
NEEDS
The organizations having good internal training and development programmes
will have to make less changes and adjustments. When the need arises, vacancies
can be easily staffed.
TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE
An endless chain of positive reactions INTERPRETATION from a well planned
training programme.
TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY
Proper training can prevent industrial accidents. A safer atmosphere leads to
more stable attitudes on part of the employees.
PERSONAL GROWTH
Employees on a personal basis gain individually from their exposure to
educational expressions. Training programmes give them wider awareness and
skills.
TYPES OF TRAINING
Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly training programmes may
be of the following types:
Orientation training: Induction or orientation training seeks to adjust newly
appointed employees to the work environment. Every new employee needs to
be made fully familiar with his job, his superiors and subordinates and with
the rules and regulations of the organization. Induction training creates self-
confidence in the employees. It is also knows as pre-job training. It is brief
and informative.
Job training: It refers to the training provided with a view to increase the
knowledge and skills of an employee for performance on the job. Employees
may be taught the correct methods of handling equipment and machines used
in a job. Such training helps to reduce accidents, waste and inefficiency in the
performance of the job.
Safety training: Training provided to minimize accidents and damage to
machinery is known as safety training. It involves instruction in the use of
safety devices and in safety consciousness.
Promotional training: It involves training of existing employees to enable
them to perform higher-level jobs. Employees with potential are selected and
they are given training before their promotion, so that they do not find it
difficult to shoulder the higher responsibilities of the new positions to which
they are promoted.
Refresher training: When existing techniques become obsolete due to the
development of better techniques, employees have to be trained in the use of
new methods and techniques. With the passage of time employee may forget
some of the methods of doing work. Refresher training is designed to revive
and refresh the knowledge and to update the skills of the existing employees.
Short-term refresher courses have become popular on account of rapid
changes in technology and work methods. Refresher or re-training
programmes are conducted to avoid obsolescence of knowledge and skills.
METHODS OF TRAINING
Fig - Methods of Training
ON-THE-JOB TECHNIQUES
On the job techniques enables managers to practice management skills, make
mistakes and learn from their mistakes under the guidance of an experienced,
competent manager. Some of the methods are as:
Job Rotation: It is also referred to as cross straining. It involves placing an
employee on different jobs for periods of time ranging from a few hours to
several weeks. At lower job levels, it normally consumes a short period, such as
few hours or one or two days. At higher job levels, it may consume much larger
periods because staff trainees may be learning complex functions and
responsibilities.
METHODS OF TRAINING
ON- THE- JOB METHODS
OFF- THE- JOB METHODS
Job rotation for managers usually involves temporary assignments that may
range from several months to one or more years in various departments, plants
and offices. Job rotation for trainees involves several short-term assignments,
that touch a variety of skills and gives the trainees a greater understanding of
how various work areas function.
For middle and upper level management, it serves a slightly different function.
At this stage, it involves lateral promotions, which last for one or more years. It
involves a move to different work environment so that manager may develop
competence in general management decision-making skills.
Enlarged and enriched job responsibilities:
By giving an employee added job duties, and increasing the autonomy and
responsibilities associated with the job, the firm allows an employee to learn
a lot about the job, department and organization.
Job instruction training:
It is also known as step-by-step training. Here, the trainer explains the
trainee the way of doing the jobs, job knowledge and skills and allows him to
do the job. The trainer appraises the performance of the trainee, provides
feedback information and corrects the trainee. In simple words, it involves
preparation, presentation, performance, and tryout and follow up.
Coaching:
The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coach
in training the individual. The supervisor provides the feedback to the trainee
on his performance and offers him some suggestions for improvement. Often
the trainee shares some duties and responsibilities of the coach and relives
him of his burden.
A drawback is that the trainee may not have the freedom or opportunity to
express his own ideas.
Committee assignments:
Here in, a group of trainees are given and asked to solve an actual
organizational problem. The trainees solve the problem jointly. This develops
team work and group cohesiveness feelings amongst the trainees.
OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
It includes anything performed away from the employee’s job area or
immediate work area.
Two broad categories of it are:
IN HOUSE PROGRAMMES
These are conducted within the organizations own training facility; either
by training
specialists from HR department or by external consultant or a
combination of both.
OFF-SITE PROGRAMMES
It is held elsewhere and sponsored by an educational institution, a
professional association, a government agency or an independent training and
development firm.The various off- the- job-training programmes are as
follows:
Vestibule training: Herein, actual work conditions are simulated in a
classroom. Material, files and equipment those are used in actual job
performance are also used in training. This type of training is commonly used
for training personnel for clerical and semiskilled jobs. The duration of this
training ranges from few days to a few weeks. Theory can be related to
practice in this method.
Role-playing: It is defined as a method of human interaction that involves
realistic behaviour in imaginary situations. This method involves action
doing and practice. The participants play the role of certain characters, such
as production manager, HR manager, foreman, workers etc. This method is
mostly used for developing interpersonal interactions and relations.
Lecture method: The lecture is a traditional and direct method of
instruction. The instruction organizes the material and gives it to the group of
trainees in the form of a talk. To be effective, the lecture must motivate and
create interest among the trainees. An advantage of this method is that it is
direct and can be used for a large group of trainees.
Conference or discussion: It is a method in training the clerical,
professional and supervisory personnel. It involves a group of people who
pose ideas, examine and share facts and data, test assumptions and draw
conclusions, all of which contribute to the improvement of job performance.
It has an advantage that it involves two-way communication and hence
feedback is provided. The participants feel free to speak in small groups.
Success depends upon the leadership qualities of the person who leads the
group.
Programmed instruction: This method has become popular in recent years.
The subject matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned
sequential units. These units are arranged from simple to mere complex levels
of instructions. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions
or filling the blanks. This method is expensive and time consuming.
STEPS IN TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS-
1. Plan to integrate the identification of training needs
Training needs that exist in one department are likely to exist in others. It is
pointless for individual managers to throw their own limited resources at each
problem as it arises, duplicating efforts and dissipating energy.
Most organisations have a personnel function which organises training delivery.
You may not be the person who coordinates the system, but you have an

Learning methodology:
ICFe Instructing Methodology
The instructor proceeds with a demonstration and imparts practical knowledge.
He will then explain problem solving techniques with real life case studies &
data. Students will learn concepts by observing professionals performing various
tasks in a methodical manner.
Guided Practice
Students are asked to practice assignments, live projects of similar or higher
complexity based on the knowledge they acquire during the demonstrations.
This INTERPRETATIONs in immediate application of concepts learnt and
therefore higher retention.
Placement Assistance:
Our placement cell is responsible for all the placement related activities in our
Institute. We have tie ups with various companies and this database is updated
from time to time. At first, students, after proper training are screened at our
centres to identify their strong areas. Then, the students are short listed according
to the Company’s specific requirements.
Accordingly, the companies visit our institute and conduct campus interviews or
we depute candidates with the desired profile for an interview. So, it is after a
suitable filtration process that the candidates are made available for a specific
job opportunity.

LITERATURE REVIEW
LITERATURE REVIEW
In this project I am going to look at the need of training in the organization.
Firstly, different company attitudes to training need, and cost and benefits
associated with it are going to be discussed.
Secondly, the stages in training process are going to be identified with a specific
focus on different training methods and consideration of its advantages and
disadvantages.
Finally, the literature on Training Need Analysis use as a motivation and
retention tool is going to be reviewed, moreover, training and development on
international scale and its possible issues are going to be discussed. To sum up, a
conclusion summarising all findings is going to be drawn.
According to Casse and Banahan (2007), the different approaches to
training need analysis required to be explored. It has come to their
attention by their own preferred model and through experience with large
Organizations. The current traditional training continuously facing the
challenges in the selection of the employees, in maintaining the
uncertainty related to the purpose and in introducing new tactics for the
environment of work and by recognizing this, they advising on all the
problems, which reiterates the requirement for flexible approach. Usually
the managers have the choice to select the best training and development
programme for their staff but they always have to bear in mind that to
increase their chances of achieve the target they must follow the five
points highlighted by Miller and Desmarais (2007).
According to Davenport (2006), mentioned in his recent studies that it’s
easy to implement strategy with the internet supported software. Someof
the Training theories can be effective immediately on the future of the
skill and developments. The “content” and the “access” are the actual
factors for the process. It is a representation itself by the Access on main
aspect what is effective to the adopted practice in training development.
As per the recent theories to access the knowledge is changing from
substantial in the traditional to deliver the knowledge for the virtual forms
to use the new meaning of information with electronic learning use. There
is a survey confirmation for using classroom to deliver the training would
drop dramatically,(Meister,2001).A manager is that what the other
members of the organization wants them to be because it is a very popular
trend of development training for the managers in the training for the
management (Andersson, 2008, Luo, 2002).
R. Wayne Mondy, Robert M. Noe, ShaneR. Premeaux, (2002) .
Training is the heart of a continuous effort deigned to improve employee
competency and organizational performance.”
R. Wayne Mondy, Robert M. Noe, Shane R. Premeaux, 2002).
Training and development obviously has its cost such as course material,
facilitator fees and facilities rental, for instance.
Companies have different approach towards analyzing the needs of training.
Some companies tend to minimise the training of its employees as they see it as
an unnecessary budgeted cost. On the other hand, we have companies, which see
training of employees more as a strategic investment and a very important
attribute, which may increase employees productivity and reduce human error;
such companies can be called a learning organizations Training is planned to
give trainees information and skills, they need for their job, while development
involves learning that goes beyond the knowledge needed just for current job. It
is more long-term focused as it enables employees to keep up with the
organization and its changes and growth.
ASSUMPTION
ASSUMPTION
We define a type I error as the event of rejecting the null hypothesis when the
null hypothesis was true. The probability of a type I error () is called the
significance level.
We define a type II error (with probability ) as the event of failing to reject the
null hypothesis when the null hypothesis was false.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is search for knowledge by systematic efforts methods or in other
words the search for knowledge through objective & systematic methods of
finding solution to a problem is research. In order to accomplish the objectives
of the study, it is essential to articulate in which it is to be conducted, i.e., the
research process is to be carried-out in a certain framework. Research
Methodology is a way to systematically solve the problem. It may be understand
as a science of studying how research is done scientifically.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
To determine whether there is a gap between what is required for effective
performance and present level of performance.
To determine whether resources for conducting training are available or
not.
To know the areas where training is required.
To assess the various training options available to the organization.
Research Design
Plan outlining how information is to be gathered for an assessment or
evaluation that includes identifying the data gathering method(s), the instruments
to be used/created, how the instruments will be administered, and how the
information will be organized and analyzed.
Types of Research Design:
Research design is simply the framework or plan for a study, used as a guide in
collecting and analyzing data. There are three types of Research Design:-
1. Exploratory Research Design:- The major emphasis in exploratory
Research design is on discovery of ideas and insights. The objective of
this research is the development of hypothesis rather than testing. The
aim is to gain familiarity with the phenomenon.
2. Descriptive Research Design:- The Descriptive Research Design
Study is typically concerned with determining the frequency with which
something occurs or the relationship between two variables. This research
aims at findings facts with description behind the study.
STATISTICAL TOOLS
1. Percentage analysis
2. Correlation
3. The square test
4. Factor Analysis.
DATA COLLECTION SOURCES
Research work was done from two sources:-
(1) Primary data
(2) Secondary data
Primary data: It was collected by questionnaire and interview in the
organizations. The questionnaire comprised of closed and attitude
questions. The opinion on existing Training need analysis practices and
their affectivity were collected through QUESTIONNAIRE which
was circulated to all the employees at all levels and the
INTERPRETATIONs have been analysed on the basis of agree and
disagree. The methodology for collection of data also included interviews
and discussion with the top management of the organization.
