1.1Introduction of the study
Talent Management
Talent management implies recognizing a person's inherent skills, traits,
personality and offering him a matching job. Every person has a unique talent that
suits a particular job profile and any other position will cause discomfort. It is the job
of the Management, particularly the HR Department, to place candidates with
prudence and caution. A wrong fit will result in further hiring, re-training and other
wasteful activities. Talent Management is beneficial to both the organization and the
employees. The organization benefits from: Increased productivity and capability; a
better linkage between individuals' efforts and business goals; commitment of valued
employees; reduced turnover; increased bench strength and a better fit betweenpeople's jobs and skills. Employees benefit from: Higher motivation and commitment;
career development; increased knowledge about and contribution to company goals;
sustained motivation and job satisfaction.
In these days of highly competitive world, where change is the only constant
factor, it is important for an organization to develop the most important resource of all
- the Human Resource. In this globalize world, it is only the Human Resource that can
provide an organization the competitive edge because under the new trade
agreements, technology can be easily transferred from one country to another and
there is no dearth for sources of cheap finance. But it is the talented workforce that is
very hard to find.
Talent signals an ability to learn and develop in the face of new challenges.Talent is about future potential rather than past track record. So talent tends to be
measured in terms of having certain attributes, such as a willingness to take risks and
learn from mistakes, a reasonable (but not too high) level of ambition and
competitiveness, the ability to focus on big picture issues, and an awareness of their
own strengths, limitations and impact on others.
Several talent management processes need to be in place on a strategic
level in order ensure its success. Such processes/strategies include talent
identification, recruitment & assessment, competency management, performance
management, career development, learning management, compensation,
succession planning etc.
Talent management has a number of benefits to offer such as employeeengagement, retention, aligning to strategic goals in order to identify the future
leadership of the organization, increased productivity, culture of excellence and
much more.

1.7 Rationale of the study
The talent in an organization refers to the current employees and their valuable
Knowledge, skills and competencies. Talent management (or succession
management) is the ongoing process of analyzing, developing and effectively utilizingtalent to meet Business needs. It involves a specific process that compares current
talent in a department to the strategic business needs of that department. Results lead
to the development and implementation of corresponding strategies to address any
talent gaps or surpluses.
Talent management for the HR Community is a priority of the HR Strategy for
the HR Community. Not only does the HR Strategy support the HR Community as its
own professional group, but it also recognizes and will support the role human
resource professionals have to help their clients become skilled, committed and
accountable public servants. The implementation of a talent management process that
is transparent and equitable is expected to create an environment for people to
develop their skills in preparation for a range of future possibilities thereby preparingthe workplace for changing roles. The goal of this process is to map the business
needs of the HR Community with the potential and career development needs of our
people in order to develop a comprehensive Talent Management Plan.

1.8 Limitations of Study:-
1) All the functions are only related with the personnel department.
2) Limitation about the working hour of the worker in the factory.
3) Limitation about the time and absenteeism.
4) Company not allowing to disclose confidential information
5) Time factor was the major limitation of this survey. Because during surveyany activity of organization which is directly or indirectly related to the
production process should not disturb due to survey.
Object of the project:
This Talent Management Project I completed from Company, For the
fulfillment of the full time course of MBA of Pune university for the year 2009-2010.
In Company I made research on Talent Management process because company want
to know that, is it talent management is really beneficial for them or not. I proved
them that talent management is really beneficial for company by doing this project.

Review of literature
TALENT MANAGEMENT V/S TRADITIONAL HR
APPROACH
Traditional HR systems approach people development from the perspective of
developing competencies in the organization. This can actually be a risk-prone
approach, especially for companies operating in fast evolving industries, since
competencies become redundant with time and new competencies need to be
developed. Thus, over time, the entire approach to development of people might be
rendered obsolete calling for rethinking the entire development initiative.
Talent management on the other hand focuses on enhancing the potential of people by
developing capacities. Capacities are the basic DNA of an organization and also of
individual potential.

A Point of Arrival
In fact, the following appropriately describes the role of talent management:
Translating organizational vision into goals and mapping the required level of
capacities and competencies to achieve goals aligning individual values and vision
with organizational values and vision.
Clear understanding of the varied roles within the organization and appreciation of the
value-addition from self and others leading to building a culture of trust, sharing and
team orientation.
Assessment of talent to profile the level of capacities and set of competencies
possessed within the organization.
Enhancing capacities to learn, think relate and act through development initiatives.

4.3 Understanding Talent
The idea of developing talent is not a new concept in any business. In fact
every successful company that has 'stood the test of time' has done so, Because of
their ability to attract, retain and get the best out of their talent.
Today we read of a 'war for talent. This has emerged, not because companies have
forgotten about talent, or allowed it drop off of the radar but, because in some
fundamental ways, the talent has changed. We have a new kind of young person
entering the business world, with a very different world view, set of values, prioritiesand goals.
Focus 1: Attracting and recruiting Talent:
In order to effectively attract and recruit talented employees you need to
understand what talent is looking for in a career and how they will view your business
in terms of fitting in with their needs. Your approach to each one of your potential
recruits needs to be altered to suit that they are.
By examining this through the perspectives of the different generations, we are able tolook at their attitudes to work what kind of career, organization and benefits they are
looking for and know what kind of techniques will ensure that your recruitment
process is successful in each generational context.
This focus unit looks at the following:
o attitudes to worko career goalso views on organizations and how they are currently runo what benefits each generation is looking foro Techniques to attract the different generations: what will make your
organization stand out?
o Techniques to recruit the different generations: how should the job offer bepresented?

3.1 History of Company
Founder of Company-Werner von CompanyBorn- 13 Dec. 1816 to 6 December 1892
Company was founded by Werner von Company on 12 October,1847. Based onthe telegraph, his invention used a needle to point to the sequence of letters, instead of
using Morse code. The companythen called Telegraphen-Bauanstalt von Company& Halskeopened its first workshop on October 12.
In 1848, the company built the first long-distance telegraph line in Europe; 500 km
from Berlin to Frankfurt am Main. In 1850 the founder's younger brother, Sir William
Company (born Carl Wilhelm Company), started to represent the company in
London. In the 1850s, the company was involved in building long distance telegraph
networks in Russia. In 1855, a company branch headed by another brother, Carl von
Company, opened in St Petersburg, Russia. In 1867, Company completed the
monumental Indo-European (Calcutta to London) telegraph line.
In 1881, a Company AC Alternator driven by a watermill was used to power the
world's first electric street lighting in the town of Godalming, United Kingdom. The
company continued to grow and diversified into electric trains and light bulbs.
As Werner had envisioned, the company he started grew from strength to strength
in every field of electrical engineering. From constructing the world's first electric
railway to laying the first telegraph line linking Britain and India, Company was
responsible for building much of the modern world's infrastructure.
Company is today a technology giant in more than 190 countries, employing some
440,000 people worldwide. Our work in the fields of energy, industry,
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
21/85
21
communications, information, transportation, healthcare, components and lighting has
become essential parts of everyday life.
While Werner was a tireless inventor during his days, Company today remains a
relentless innovator. With innovations averaging 18 a day, it seems like the revolution
Werner started is still going strong.
In 1890, the founder retired and left the company to his brother Carl and sons
Arnold and Wilhelm. Company & Halske (S&H) was incorporated in 1897. In 1907
Company had 34,324 employees and was the seventh-largest company in the German
empire by number of employees.
In 1919, S&H and two other companies jointly formed the Osram lightbulb company.
A Japanese subsidiary was established in 1923.
During the 1920s and 1930s, S&H started to manufacture radios, television sets, and
electron microscopes.

Chapter 4: Introduction
4.1 Meaning Definition
With businesses going global and competition becoming intense, there ismounting pressure on organizations to deliver more and better than before.
Organizations therefore need to be able to develop and deploy people who can
articulate the passion and vision of the organization and make teams with the energy
to perform at much higher levels.
These people build and drive the knowledge assets of a corporation, the value of
which has been established to be many times more than the tangibles. The capacity of
an organization to hire, develop and retain talent is therefore the most crucial business
process and priority on the CEOs agenda.
The 1990s ended with a call-to-arms to fight the war for talent. While the war for
talent clearly has cooled in the early stages of the 21st century, dampened by
economic doldrums & concerns with global security; the rear battle to attract,
motivate, development & retain talent is going to heat up considerably. A looming
demographic time-bomb will make Talent Management a priority for organizations.
A host of issues like: loss of human capital, talent shortages, ageism, and cultural
clash has made acquiring & managing talent difficult.
Talent Management describes the process through which employers of all kindsFirms, Govt., and Non-profit organizationsanticipate their human capital needs &
set about meeting them. Thus Talent Management refers to: getting the RIGHT
PEOPLE with the RIGHT SKILLS into the RIGHT JOBS.
It is a professional term, also known as Human Capital Management that
refers to the process of developing & fostering new workers through on boarding,
developing & keeping current workers & attracting highly skilled workers to work for
your company. Companies that are engaged in Talent Management are strategic &
deliberate in how they recruit, manage asses, develop & maintain an organizations
most important resourceits PEOPLE. This term also incorporates how companies
drive performance at the individual level.
Decisions about Talent Management shape the competencies that organizations have
& their ultimate success; & from the perspectives of individuals, these decisions
determine the path & pace of careers. We may thus understand that this term is
usually associated with competency based HRM practices. Talent Management
decisions are often driven by a set of organizational core competencies as well as
positionspecific competencies. The competency set may include knowledge, skills,
experience & personal traits.

4.2 Human capital management
Companies that engage in talent management (Human Capital Management)
are strategic and deliberate in how they source, attract, select, train, develop, retain,promote, and move employees through the organization. Research done on the value
of such systems implemented within companies consistently uncovers benefits in
these critical economic areas: revenue, customer satisfaction, quality, productivity,
cost, cycle time, and market capitalization. The mindset of this more personal human
resources approach seeks not only to hire the most qualified and valuable employees
but also to put a strong emphasis on retention. Since the initial hiring process is so
expensive to a company, it is important to place the individual in a position where his
skills are being extensively utilized.
The term talent management means different things to different organizations.To some it is about the management of high-worth individuals or "the talented" whilst
to others it is about how talent is managed generally - i.e. on the assumption that all
people have talent which should be identified and liberated. From a talent
management standpoint, employee evaluations concern two major areas of
measurement: performance and potential. Current employee performance within a
specific job has always been a standard evaluation measurement tool of the
profitability of an employee. However, talent management also seeks to focus on an
employees potential, meaning an employees future performance, if given the proper
development of skills.
The major aspects of talent management practiced within an organization mustconsistently include.
performance management leadership development workforce planning/identifying talent gaps recruiting
This term of talent management is usually associated with competency-based
human resource management practices. Talent management decisions are often
driven by a set of organizational core competencies as well as position-specific
competencies. The competency set may include knowledge, skills, experience,and personal traits (demonstrated through defined behaviors). Older competency
models might also contain attributes that rarely predict success (e.g. education,
tenure, and diversity factors that are illegal to consider in relation to job
performance in many countries, and unethical within organizations).

Talent management implies recognizing a person's inherent skills, traits,personality and offering him a matching job. Every person has a unique talent that
suits a particular job profile and any other position will cause discomfort. It is the job
of the Management, particularly the HR Department, to place candidates with
prudence and caution. A wrong fit will result in further hiring, re-training and other
wasteful activities.
Talent Management is beneficial to both the organization and the employees. The
organization benefits from: Increased productivity and capability; a better linkage
between individuals' efforts and business goals; commitment of valued employees;reduced turnover; increased bench strength and a better fit between people's jobs and
skills. Employees benefit from: Higher motivation and commitment; career
development; increased knowledge about and contribution to company goals;
sustained motivation and job satisfaction.
In these days of highly competitive world, where change is the only constant factor,
it is important for an organization to develop the most important resource of all - the
Human Resource. In this globalize world, it is only the Human Resource that can
provide an organization the competitive edge because under the new trade
agreements, technology can be easily transferred from one country to another and
there is no dearth for sources of cheap finance. But it is the talented workforce that isvery hard to find. The biggest problem is how to retain the present workforce and stop
them from quitting

5.2 The Challenge
The challenge of talent management has two faces. First is how to find new
people and second is how to retain the present workforce. Each of the challenges has
to be tackled in the most efficient way possible so that the organization can achieve its
objectives.
The First Challenge - Where to find new talent?
All the organizations are finding loads of business opportunities and
consequently, their revenues are growing at a rapid pace. The increasing business
opportunities has necessitated that these organizations go in for massive recruitment.
But, the question is where to find the best talent which is able to fit the job description
and also adjust to the organizations values and norms. If we scan the environment,we find there is a shortage of skilled workforce that can be employed.
Some of the possible reasons that have led to the shortage are: -
Demographic Constraints:
This is a common problem faced by many of the developed countries, where
a large chunk of its population is nearing the age of retirement or is over 50 years.
USA, Germany and Japan are facing the same problem. All these countries will see a
decline in their workforce and talent. In the coming years, they will see a great
shortage in their skilled professionals.
Existing Educational System:
The graduates and the postgraduates that are being churned out of the
universities are found to be ill-equipped to handle the challenges of the workplace.
They are mostly equipped with only the theoretical aspects of the issues and lack the
application part. The educational system is faulty and does not take industry needs
into consideration, resulting in a mismatch between industry requirements and
educational preparation.
Cost Factor:
Recruiting new employees is becoming tougher and tougher in the
developing countries, where the HR department has to sort out thousands of
applications for a handful of jobs. Finding right person for the right job becomes a
very difficult process. It also involves very high cost to conduct the recruitment and
selection process for such a large population of applicants.
Attracting the Best Talent:
This is another challenge. As was the case in the past, the best available talentis not just motivated by the name and fame of the organization. Not any more. They
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
34/85
34
have a new set of motivators like - challenging work, conducive work environment
and freedom from bureaucratic structure.
The Second Challenge - How to retain the existing employees?
Gone are the days when a person would join an organization in his mid-20s andwould work till his retirement in the late-50s. Today the young professionals hop jobs,
especially during the first 4-5 years of their work life. Though the Indian service
industry is basking in the light of outsourced jobs from the developed countries, they
also cannot ignore the fact that the BPO industry is also facing one of the highest
attrition rates, in fact never heard before in India, of around 35%.
It is a fact that its the people that add value to organizations. It is also a fact that
humans are a restless species who, unlike the immovable Banyan Tree, cannot stay
rooted in one place. People need to move on for one reason or another, and the
organization stands to lose.
Let us look at some of the reasons behind the massive attrition rates: -
1. Gap between organizational values and goals and the personal values andgoals is one of the major reasons of the attrition rates. If they go parallel, there
is no way both would be satisfied and inevitably, the organization would lose
out on a talented employee.
2. Working environment is another major factor. Employees in the knowledgeera demand creative and a democratic work environment. Failure on the part
of the management to provide such an environment will result in a talented
employee leaving the organization.
3. The competitive world has made sure that there is high work pressure on theemployees of any organization. This has led to psychological problems likestress, and in extreme situations, total burnouts. It also leads to other health
related problems.
4. Movement for higher salary is also common among the younger professionals.There is no shortage for organizations who are looking for talented employees
and who are ready to shell out a hefty salary for a talented person. Other lureslike better job opportunities, higher posts and overseas assignments are also
major factors in the attrition rates.
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
35/85
35
5. Not taking proper care during the recruitment and selection process and nottaking proper care to fit the right person to the right job also breeds
dissatisfaction among the employees.
6. Bad or opaque policies from management on issues of succession planningand promotion, appointments for senior positions also is a major factor which
makes the organization lose out on the talented employees.
7. The professionals have different aspirations at different times of their career.During the initial years, they have good salary and foreign assignments. Next
on the list is working on cutting edge technology. More seasoned professionalslook for learning opportunities. So employees tend to move to those
organizations which provide them with means to fulfill their aspirations.
Retaining the present employees is of the foremost importance to the organizations
because; the company would have already incurred heavy costs in the form of training
and development. Now if the organization has to look for a replacement for the
employee who has left, it involves a lot of costs like - hiring costs, training costs and
the induction costs.
Also it takes some time for the new employee to adjust to the new work environment.
During this time the productivity of the employee will be low. The HR department
will have to fit the new employee into a proper role in the organization. Apart from
causing the company a monetary loss and breaks in their day-to-day operations,
attrition contributes to knowledge transfer, which is a great loss and adversely affects
business.
5.3 How to Manage the TALENT?
It is now proved beyond doubt that, in the era of technology and knowledge, talent isin the driving seat. One who possesses it dictates. Not he who pays for it. It is the
demand of the time that business leaders elevate management of talent to a burning
corporate priority. It is not a walk in the park for the talent market. Quality people are
no longer available in plenty, easily replaceable and relatively inexpensive.
These are some of the measures that should be taken into account to hire and retain
talent in the organization, to be efficient and competitive in this highly competitive
world: -
Hire the Right People:
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
36/85
36
Proper care must be taken while hiring the people itself. It would be beneficial for
an organization to recruit young people and nurture them, than to substitute by hiring
from other organizations. Questions to be asked at this stage are: Whether the person
has the requisite skills needed for the job? Whether the person's values and goals
match with those of organizations? In short, care must be taken to fit the right person
to the right job.
Keep the Promises:
Good talent cannot be motivated by fake platitudes, half-truths and broken
promises. Unfulfilled expectations can breed dissatisfaction among the employees and
make them either leave the organization or work below their productive level.
Promises made during the hiring stage must be kept to build loyalty among the
employees, so that they are satisfied and work to their fullest capability.
Good Working Environment:
It has to be accepted by the organizations that highly talented persons make their
own rules. They have to be provided with a democratic and a stimulating work
environment. The organizational rules must be flexible enough to provide them with
freedom to carry out their part of task to their liking, as long as the task is achieved.
Opportunities should also be provided to the employees to achieve their personal
goals.
Recognition of Merit:
It is highly motivating for any person if his talent is recognized and is suitablyrewarded. One way is providing them with salary commensurate with their
performance. Promotions and incentives based on performance are another way of
doing it. Another way is by providing them with challenging projects. This will
achieve two objectives - it makes employee feel that he is considered important (a
highly motivating factor) and gets the work done in an efficient manner and brings out
the best in the employee.
Providing Learning Opportunities:
Employees must be provided with continuous learning opportunities on and offwork field through management development programs and distance learning
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
37/85
37
programs. This will also benefit the organization in the form of highly talented
workforce.
Shielding from High Work Pressure:
If an organization has to make the most of the available talent, they should beprovided with adequate time to relax, so that they can did-stress themselves. It is very
important to provide them with holidays and all-expenses-paid trips, so that they can
come back refreshed to work and with increased energy. They must also be
encouraged to pursue their interests which are also a good way of reducing work
environment stress. Recreation clubs, entertain programs, fun activities with in the
work area will also reduce the work life stress of the employees and develop
camaraderie among the workers and result in a good working environment.
TALENT & PERFORMANCE
Organizations provide individuals the opportunity and space for physically
manifesting their talent into performance for achieving individual and organizational
vision. Talent manifests into performance as follows:
Talent+
Vision/Mission/Strategy+
Skills & Competencies+
Role & structure+

Thus the domain of talent management focuses not only on development of
individuals intrinsic capacities, but also on culture building and change managementto provide the other elements listed above for manifestation of talent into
performance.
The New HR Mission and Talent Management Processes
Many challenging workforce issues confront HR, including:
Heightened competition for skilled workers. Impending retirement of the baby boomers. Low levels of employee engagement. Acknowledgement of the high cost of turnover. Arduous demands of managing global workforces. Importance of succession planning. Off shoring and outsourcing trends.
This requires new thinking and a new mission to achieve business success. These
factorscoupled with the need to align people directly with corporate goalsare
forcing HR to evolve from policy creation, cost reduction, process efficiency, and
risk management to driving a new talent mindset in the organization.
One important distinction is the evolution of the difference between tactical HR and
strategic talent management. Transactional HR activities are administrative
overhead. Talent management is a continuous process that delivers the optimal
workforce for your business.
In this new modelinstead of being the owners of processes, forms, and
complianceHR becomes the strategic enabler of talent management processes
that empower managers and employees while creating business value.
With this view, talent management may be defined as the implementation of
integrated strategies or systems designed to improve processes for recruiting,
developing and retaining people with the required skills and aptitude to meet currentand future organizational needs.
7/29/2019 talentmnagement1demo-100426230452-phpapp01
39/85
39
Anecdotally, talent management is often defined as performance management,
incentive compensation, or talent acquisition. Talent management is also often
confused with leadership development. Although leadership development is a
crucial function of your organization, focusing on it exclusively is a legacy of last
century. Our modern service and knowledge economies in the talent age require abroad and holistic view. A high performance business depends on a wide range of
talent.
Taleos graphical representation emphasizes the mandate of talent management to
respond to business goals and consequently be the driver of business performance.
Talent management is depicted as a circularnot a linearset of activities.
5.4 Why Talent Management?
Workforce cost is the largest category of spend for most organizations.
Automation and analysis of your recruiting and hiring processes provides the
immediate workforce visibility and insights you need to significantly improve your
bottom line. Performance management provides the ongoing processes and
practices to maintain a stellar workforce.
Today, many organizations are struggling with silos of HR processes and
technologies. The future of talent management is embodied in solutions designed
from the ground up to provide business-centric functionality on a unified talent
management platform.
Since nearly all competitive business factors have become commoditized, talent is
what ultimately drives business success and creates value. Leading organizations
rely on Taleo solutions and services to assess, acquire, develop, and align talent
with business objectives while significantly reducing process costs, improving
quality of hire, reducing risk, and achieving higher levels of performance.
Though it may seem intuitive, it is worthwhile to articulate the fundamental
significance of successful talent management practices:
The key enabler of any organization is talent. The quality of your people is your last true competitive differentiator. Talent drives performance.
Talent management requires strong executive support, along with systems and
processes all directed towards having the right talent doing the right work at theright time. Thats when talent truly drives higher business performance.

Challenges of Effective Succession Planning
Successful succession planning, as we've seen, is an ongoing and complex
endeavor that is necessarily broad in scope. It therefore presents significant barriers to
both implementation and long-term maintenance. Here are some of the more
challenging obstacles:
MULTIPLE OWNERS:Traditionally, HR has been considered owner of the succession planning
process, but meaningful success really requires a genuine sense of ownership and
commitment at many levels of the organization. While HR may be best positioned

to oversee the process, it can never fully know or evaluate every process
participant the way managers and supervisors can.
NUMBER OF POSITIONS:All but the smallest of organizations have a substantial number of positions
critical to long-term performance, whether these involve leadership skills or
technical expertise that would be difficult to quickly replace. Comprehensive
succession planning must incorporate all such positions; yet, as the number of
positions grows so too does the administrative burden.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:Succession plans need to reflect long-term organizational goals and strategies.
Companies must give thoughtful consideration not only to the plan's design and
implementation, but also to sustaining the process over time. As strategies and
goals shift, so too must the plan if the organization is to recruit and develop theworkforce its future success will require.
ORGANIZATIONAL COMPLEXITY:Conglomerate, geographically dispersed, multi-industry, and other complex
organizational forms significantly increase the challenge of succession planning.
Often, higher-level positions require well-designed cross training to inculcate the
unique knowledge and skills success in the organization requires.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE:As companies evolve in response to marketplace threats and opportunities, the
skills, talents, and expertise they will need to thrive evolve, as well.
EFFECTIVENESS & EFFICIENCY:The larger and more complex an organization, the more challenging it is to
maintain an effective and efficient succession planning process. Yet, by definition,
the best process is the one that enables the firm to identify the best candidate inleast amount of time and at the lowest cost.
Having this process in place is vital to the success of the organization because
the individuals identified in the plan will eventually be responsible for ensuring
the company is able to tackle future challenges. These 'high potential' candidates
must be carefully selected and then provided training and development that gives
them skills and competencies needed for tomorrow's business environment.
Another reason its important is because these high potentials will one day become

the leaders of the Company. This is why their development needs to incorporate a
broad range of learning opportunities in your organization. The individuals should
also be exposed to as much of the working environment as possible so that they
gain a good understanding of what the company requires to remain successful.
7.5 Implementation of Succession Planning:
Succession panning is the planning to place a person on another
employees place who will retire after one or two year.

which have ability to fulfill requirements of job.
3) Opinion of subordinate:The head of the department should consider the opinion of
other staff or subordinate also.
Employee assessment centre
Introduction
This method was first applied in Germany Army in 1930. Later business
and industrial houses started using this method. This is not a technique of a
performance appraisal by itself. In fact it is a system or organization, where
assessment of several individuals is done by various experts by using various
techniques.
In these approach, individual from various department are bought
together to spend two or three days, working on an individual or group assignment
similar to the ones they would be handling when promoted. Observers rank theperformance of each and every participant in order of merit. Since assessment

centre are basically meant for evaluating the potential of candidates to be consider
for promotion, training and development, they offer an excellent means for a
conducting evaluation process in an objective way. All assess get an equal
opportunity to show their talent and capabilities and secure promotion based on
merit. Since the evaluators know the position requirements intimately and are
trained to perform the evaluation process in an objective manner, the performancerating may find favor with majority of the employees. A considerable amount of
research evidence is available to support the contention that people chosen by this
method prove better than those chosen by other methods. The centre enable
working in a low status department to compete with people from well-known
departments and enlarge there promotional chances. Such opportunities, when
created on regular basis, will go a long way in improving the morale of promising
candidates working in less important positions.
Employee assessment centre:
Employee assessment is a committee of a Psychiatrist, advocate, consultant
etc. there are 3 to 5 people on the committee. They give a one task to the
employee and he should complete that task within a given time e.g. Give a
presentation on specific topic within half an hour.
Work of the Committee:
Mainly committee observes how employee can survive in specific situation.How he can handle situation.
They try to find out the tendency of employee.
They try to find out method of thinking of employee.In employee assessment they consider only an officers career planning.

8.1 Meaning and Definition
Introduction
After an employee selected, placed and introduced her or she must be
provided with training facilities. Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and
skills of an employee for doing a particular job. Training is a short-term educational
process and utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which employees learn
technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. Dale S. Beach Define training,
The organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and/or skill for a definite
purpose.
In other words training improves, changes, moulds the employees knowledge,
skill, behavior, aptitude, and attitude towards the requirements of the job andorganization. Training refers to the teaching and learning activity carried on for the
primary purpose of helping members on an organization, to acquire and apply the
knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes needed by a particular job and organization.
Thus, training bridges the difference between job requirement and employees
present specifications.
No organisat5ion matches the 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.
Job and organizational requirement are not static, they are changed from time to
time in view of technological advancement and change in the awareness of the
total quality and productivity Management(TQPM). The objective of the TQPM
can be achieved only through training as training develops human skills and
efficiency. Trained employees would be a valuable asset to an organization.

8.2 Need for training
Need for training arises due to following reasons:
4) To match the employee specification with the job recruitment andorganizational needs:
An employees specification may not exactly suit to the requirement of the
job and the organization irrespective of his past experience, qualifications, skills
knowledge, etc. Thus every management finds deviation between employees
present specifications and the job requirements and organizational needs.
Training is needed to fill this gap by developing and molding the employees
skill, knowledge attitude behavior etc. to the tune of the job requirements and
organizational needs.
5) Technological advances:Every organization in order to survive and to be effective should adopt
the latest technology, i.e. mechanization, computerization, automation.
Adoption of the latest technology means and methods will not be complete until
they are manned by employees possessing skill to operate them. So,
organization should train the employee to enrich them in the areas of changing
technical skills and knowledge from time to time.
6) Human relations:Trends in approach towards personel management have change from
the commodity approach to partnership approach, crossing the human relations
approach. So, today, management of most of the organization has to maintain
human relations besides maintaining sound industrial relations although hitherto
the managers are not accustomed to deal with workers accordingly. So, training
in human relations is necessary to deal with human problems and to maintain
human relations.
7) 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

The most widely used methods of training used by organizations are classified
into two categories: On-the-Job Training & Off-the-Job Training.
ON-THE-JOB TRAININGIts given at the work place by superior in relatively short period of time.
This type of training is cheaper & less time-consuming. This training can be
imparted by basically four methods: -
Coaching
Itis learning by doing. In this, the superior guides his sub-ordinates & gives
him/her job instructions. The superior points out the mistakes & gives suggestions
for improvement.
Job Rotation: -In this method, the trainees move from one job to another, so that he/she
should be able to perform all types of jobs. E.g. In banking industry, employees
are trained for both back-end & front-end jobs. In case of emergency,(absenteeism or resignation), any employee would be able to perform any type of

job.
OFF THE JOB TRAINING: -
It is given outside the actual work place.
Lectures/Conferences:-
This approach is well adapted to convey specific information, rules,
procedures or methods. This method is useful, where the information is to be
shared among a large number of trainees. The cost per trainee is low in this
method.
Films: -
It can provide information & explicitly demonstrate skills that are not easily
presented by other techniques. Motion pictures are often used in conjunction withConference, discussions to clarify & amplify those points that the film
emphasized.
Simulation Exercise: -
Any training activity that explicitly places the trainee in an artificial
environment that closely m
