    TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS:

    Introduction:

    Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is the formal process of identifying the training gap and its

    related training need. An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of

    effective training. The purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a

    gap between what is required for effective performance and present level of performance.

    This process is a series of activities conducted to identify problems or other issues in the

    workplace, and to determine whether training is an appropriate response. Training need

    analysis is conducted to determine whether resources required are available or not. It helps to

    plan the budget of the company, areas where training is required, and also highlights the

    occasions where training might not be appropriate but requires alternate action.

    Here we are doing the training need analysis for the Students of IMT, Nagpur. The student

    group comprise offirst year students (juniors) , from this training need analysis process, we

    are trying to find the skills which they are lacking in , problems that they are facing and they

    feel that training would be required for them in that particular area. So as to improve their

    skills in which they are lacking .which will help them in their future professional life as they

    are going to become a Manager. For doing the Training need analysis of IMT, students. We

    first interviewed them and asked them about skills that they think will be lacking in them.

    Through which we found out that many students feel that they are lacking in interpersonal

    skills, which are very important for your personal as well as professional life. After that we

    conducted a survey through questionnaire of the junior Batch students, On the interpersonal

    skills to find out Gap. From the data collected from the questionnaire, we could found out

    Gap and accordingly we designed a Training program for improving Interpersonal skills of

    students of IMT, Nagpur.

    TRAINING MODULE FOR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS:

    Introduction:

    with other people, individually and in groups. Interpersonal skills are sometimes also

    referred to as people skills or communication skills Interpersonal skills involve using skills

    such as active listeningand tone of voice, this include delegation and leadership. It is how

    well you communicate with someone and how well you behave or carry yourself.

    Interpersonal skills refer to mental and communicative algorithms applied during social

    communications and interaction to reach certain effects or results. The term "interpersonal

    skills" is used often in business contexts to refer to the measure of a person's ability to operate

    within business organizations through social communication and interactions. Interpersonal

    skills are how people relate to one another Interpersonal skill includes not only how we

    communicate with others, but also our confidence, and our ability to listen and understand.

    Problem solving, decision making and personal stress management are also considered

    interpersonal skills.

    People with strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their professional

    and personal lives. They are perceived as more calm, confident and charismatic, qualities that

    are often endearing or appealing to others. Being more aware of your interpersonal skills can

    Here, you can find out how to develop specific interpersonal skills:

    1.Learn to Listen

    Listening is not the same as hearing. Take time to listen carefully to what others are saying

    through both their verbal and non-verbal communication. The most basic and powerful

    way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important

    thing we ever give each other is our attention.

    Listening is not the same as hearing. Hearing refers to the sounds that you hear, whereas

    listening requires more than that: it requires focus. Listening means paying attention not only

    to the story, but how it is told, the use of language and voice, and how the other person uses

    his or her body. In other words, it means being aware of both verbal and non-verbal

    messages. Your ability to listen effectively depends on the degree to which you perceive and

    understand these messages.

    10 Principles of Listening

    A good listener will listen not only to what is being said, but also to what is left unsaid or

    only partially said. Listening involves observing body language and noticing inconsistencies

    between verbal and non-verbal messages. For example, if someone tells you that they are

    happy with their life but through gritted teeth or with tears filling their eyes, you should

    consider that the verbal and non-verbal messages are in conflict. Listening requires you to

    concentrate and use your other senses in addition to simply hearing the words spoken.

    Stop TalkingWe have two ears but only one mouth. Don't talk, although you may need to clarify when the

    other person has finished speaking.

    Prepare Yourself to ListenFocus on the speaker. Put other things out of mind.

    Put the Speaker at Ease

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    6/21

    Help the speaker to feel free to speak. Remember their needs and concerns. Nod or use other

    gestures or words to encourage them to continue.

    Remove DistractionsFocus on what is being said: dont doodle, shuffle papers, look out the window, or similar.

    Avoid unnecessary interruptions.

    EmpathiseTry to understand the other persons point of view. Look at issues from their perspective. Let

    go of preconceived ideas.

    Be PatientA pause, even a long pause, does not necessarily mean that the speaker has finished. Never

    finish a sentence for someone.

    Avoid Personal Prejudice

    Try to be impartial. Dont become irritated and dont let the persons habits or mannerdistract you from what they are really saying.

    Listen to the ToneVolume and tone both add to what someone is saying.

    Listen for IdeasNot Just WordsYou need to get the whole picture, not just isolated bits and pieces.

    Wait and Watch for Non-Verbal CommunicationGestures, facial expressions, and eye-movements can all be important.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    7/21

    2. Choose Your WordsBe aware of the words you are using when talking to others. Could you be misunderstood or

    confuse the issue? Practice clarity and learn to seek feedback to ensure your message has

    been understood.

    Opening Communication

    In many encounters, the first few minutes are extremely important as first impressions have a

    significant impact on the success of further communication. Everyone has expectations and

    norms as to how initial meetings should proceed and tends to behave according to these

    expectations. If interpersonal expectation is mismatched, communication will not be effective

    nor run smoothly, and negotiation will be needed if relations are to continue.

    At a first meeting, formalities and appropriate greetings are usually expected: such

    formalities could include a handshake, an introduction to yourself, eye contact and discussion

    around a neutral subject such as the weather or your journey may be useful. A friendly

    disposition and smiling face are much more likely to encourage communication than a blank

    face, inattention or disinterested reception.

    Reinforcement

    The use of encouraging words alongside non-verbal gestures such as head nods, a warm

    facial expression and maintaining eye contact, are more likely to reinforce openness in others.

    The use of encouragement and positive reinforcement can:

    Encourage others to participate in discussion (particularly in group work) Signify interest in what other people have to say Pave the way for development and/or maintenance of a relationship Allay fears and give reassurance Show warmth and openness.

    3. Understand Why Communication FailsBy learning about the various barriers to good communication you can be aware of, and

    reduce the likelihood of, ineffective interpersonal communication.

    There exist many barriers to communication and these may occur at any stage in the

    communication process. Barriers may lead to your message becoming distorted and you

    therefore risk wasting both time and money by causing confusion and misunderstanding.

    Effective communication involves overcoming these barriers and conveying a clear and

    concise message. Some common barriers to effective communication include:

    The use of jargon, over-complicated or unfamiliar terms. Emotional barriers and taboos. Lack of attention, interest, distractions, or irrelevance to the receiver. Differences in perception and viewpoint. Physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties. Physical barriers to non-verbal communication. Language differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents. Expectations and prejudices which may lead to false assumptions or stereotyping.

    People often hear what they expect to hear rather than what is actually said and jump

    to incorrect conclusions.

    Cultural differences. The norms of social interaction vary greatly in differentcultures, as do the way in which emotions are expressed. For example, the concept of

    personal space varies between cultures and between different social settings.

    The skilled communicator must be aware of these barriers and try to reduce their impact by

    continually checking understanding and by offering appropriate feedback.

    4. RelaxWhen we are nervous we tend to talk more quickly and therefore less clearly. Being tense is

    also evident in our body language and other non-verbal communication. Instead, try to stay

    calm, make eye contact and smile. Let your confidence shine. interpersonal

    communication not only involves the explicit meaning of words, that is the information or

    message conveyed, but also refers to implicit messages, whether intentional or not, which

    http://www.skillsyouneed.co.uk/IPS/NonVerbal_Communication.htmlhttp://www.skillsyouneed.co.uk/IPS/NonVerbal_Communication.html
  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    9/21

    may be expressed through non-verbal behaviours.

    Non-verbal communications include facial expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice,

    gestures displayed through body language and the physical distance between

    communicators. These clues can give people additional information over and above spoken

    language.

    Non-verbal messages allow individuals to:

    Reinforce or modify what is said in words. For example, people may nod their headsvigorously when saying "Yes" to emphasise that they agree with the other person, but

    a shrug of the shoulders and sad expression when saying "I'm fine thanks, may imply

    that things are not really fine at all!

    Convey information about their emotional state. Define or reinforce the relationship between people. Provide feedback to the other person. Regulate the flow of communication, for example by signalling to others that they

    have finished speaking or wish to say something.

    Interpersonal communication is further complicated in that it is not possible to interpret a

    gesture or expression accurately on its own. Non-verbal communication consists of a

    complete package of expressions, hand and eye movements, postures, and gestures which

    should be interpreted along with

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    10/21

    The forms of interpersonal communication that are not expressed verbally are called non-

    verbal communications. These include:

    When we communicate, non-verbal cues can have as great as an impact on the listener as the

    spoken word. There are many different aspects of non-verbal communication including:

    Body Movements (Kinesics)

    Body movements include gestures, posture, head and hand movements or whole body

    movements. Body movements can be used to reinforce or emphasise what a person is saying

    and also offer information about the emotions and attitudes of a person. However, it is also

    possible for body movements to conflict with what is said.

    Posture can reflect people's emotions, attitudes and intentions. Research has identified a wide

    range of postural signals and their meanings, such as:

    Open and Closed Posture:Two forms of posture have been identified, open and closed,

    which may reflect an individual's degree of confidence, status or receptivity to another

    person. Someone seated in a closed position might have his/her arms folded, legs crossed or

    be positioned at a slight angle from the person with whom they are interacting. In an open

    posture you might expect to see someone directly facing you with hands apart on the arms of

    the chair.

    Mirroring: Notice the way a loving couple relate to each other. You might like to observe a

    close relationship in person or on television. You will see that the partners' postures will

    match, as if one partner is a mirror reflection of the other. For example, if one partner drapes

    an arm over the back of a chair this might be replicated in the other person's position.

    Eye Contact

    Eye contact is an important aspect of non-verbal behaviour. In interpersonal interaction, it

    serves three main purpose.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    11/21

    To give and receive feedback: Looking at someone lets them know that thereceiver is concentrating on the content of their speech.

    To let a partner know when it is their 'turn' to speak : This is related to theabove point. Eye contact is more likely to be continuous when someone islistening, rather than speaking. When a person has finished what they have to say,

    they will look directly at the other person and this gives a signal that the arena is

    open. If someone does not want to be interrupted, eye contact may be avoided.

    To communicate something about a relationship between people: When youdislike someone, you tend to avoid eye contact and pupil size is often reduced. On

    the other hand, the maintenance of positive eye contact signals interest or

    attraction in a partner.

    5. Dealing with the stress:o Avoid Caffeine, Alcohol, and Nicotine.

    Avoid, or at least reduce your consumption of, all drinks continuing caffeine and alcohol, as

    well as nicotine. Caffeine, alcohol and nicotine are stimulants and so will increase your level

    of stress rather than reduce it.

    o Indulge in Physical ActivityStressful situations increase the level of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol in

    your body. These are the fight or flight hormones that evolution has hard -wired into our

    brains and which are designed to protect us from immediate bodily harm when we are under

    threat. However, stress in the modern age is rarely remedied by a fight or flight response, and

    so physical exercise can be used as a surrogate to metabolize the excessive stress hormones

    and restore our body and mind to a calmer, more relaxed state.

    o Get More SleepA lack of sleep is a significant cause of stress. Unfortunately though, stress also interrupts our

    sleep as thoughts keep whirling through our heads, stopping us from relaxing enough to fall

    asleep.Rather than relying on medication, your aim should be to maximise your relaxation

    before going to sleep.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    12/21

    o Try Relaxation TechniquesEach day, try to relax with a stress reduction technique. There are many tried and tested

    ways to reduce stress so try a few and see what works best for you.

    o Talk to SomeoneJust talking to someone about how you feel can be helpful. Talking can work by either

    distracting you from your stressful thoughts or releasing some of the built-up tension by

    discussing it.

    o Keep a Stress DiaryKeeping a stress diary for a few weeks is an effective stress management tool as it will help

    you become more aware of the situations which cause you to become stressed.

    o Take controlStress can be triggered by a problem that may on the surface seem impossible to solve.

    Learning how to find solutions to your problems will help you feel more in control thereby

    lowering your level of stress.

    o Manage Your TimeAt times, we all feel overburdened by our To Do list and this is a common cause of stress.

    Accept that you cannot do everything at once and start to prioritise and diarise your tasks.

    Make a list of all the things that you need to do and list them in order of genuine priority.

    Note what tasks you need to do personally and what can be delegated to others to do. Recordwhich tasks need to be done immediately, in the next week, in the next month, or when time

    allows.

    6. Learn to Say NoA common cause of stress is having too much to do and too little time in which to do it. And

    yet in this situation, many people will still agree to take on additional responsibility.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    13/21

    Learning to say No to additional or unimportant requests will help to reduce your level of

    stress, and may also help you develop more self-confidence.

    7. Rest If You Are IllIf you are feeling unwell, do not feel that you have to carry on regardless as a short spell of

    rest will enable the body to recover faster.

    8. ClarifyShow an interest in the people you talk to, ask questions and seek clarification on any points

    that could be easily misunderstood

    However good you think your listening skillsare, the only person who can tell you if you

    have understood correctly or not is the speaker. Therefore, as an extension of good listening

    skills, you need to develop the ability to reflect words and feelings and to clarify that you

    have understood them correctly. It is often important that you and the speaker agree that

    what you understand is a true representation of what was meant to be said.

    Reflecting:

    Reflecting is the process of paraphrasing and restating both the feelings and words of the

    speaker. The purposes of reflecting are:

    To allow the speaker to 'hear' their own thoughts and to focus on what they say andfeel.

    To show the speaker that you are trying to perceive the world as they see it and thatyou are doing your best to understand their messages.

    To encourage them to continue talking.

    Reflecting does not involve you asking questions, introducing a new topic or leading the

    conversation in another direction. Speakers are helped through reflecting as it not only

    allows them to feel understood, but it also gives them the opportunity to focus their ideas.

    This in turn helps them to direct their thoughts and further encourages them to continue

    speaking.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    14/21

    Guidelines for Reflecting

    Be natural. Listen for the basic message - consider the content, feeling and meaning expressed by

    the speaker.

    Restate what you have been told in simple terms. When restating, look for non-verbal as well as verbal cues that confirm or deny the

    accuracy of your paraphrasing. (Note that some speakers may pretend you have got it

    right because they feel unable to assert themselves and disagree with you.)

    Do not question the speaker unnecessarily. Do not add to the speaker's meaning. Do not take the speaker's topic in a new direction. Always be non-directive and non-judgmental.

    Clarification involves offering back to a speaker the essential meaning, as understood by the

    listener, of what they have just said, checking that the listener's understanding is correct and

    resolving any areas of confusion.

    The purpose of clarification is to:

    Ensure that the listener's understanding of what the speaker has said is correct. Reassure the speaker that the listener is genuinely interested in them and is attempting

    to understand what they are saying.

    Guidelines for Clarifying

    Admit if you are unsure about what the speaker means. Ask for repetition. State what the speaker has said as you understand it, and check whether this is what

    they really said.

    Ask for specific examples. Use open, non-directive questions - if appropriate. Ask if you have got it right and be prepared to be corrected.

    9. Be Positive

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    15/21

    Try to remain positive and cheerful. People are much more likely to be drawn to you if you

    can maintain a positive attitude.

    10.EmpathiseUnderstand that other people may have different points of view. Try to see things from their

    perspective. You may learn something while you gain the respect and trust of others.

    11.Understand StressLearn to recognise stress in others and yourself. Although stress is not always bad, high

    levels can have a detrimental effect on the communication process.

    12.Learn to be AssertiveYou should aim to be neither passive nor aggressive; being assertive is about expressing your

    feelings and beliefs in a way that others can understand and respect. Assertiveness is

    fundamental to successful negotiation.

    Assertiveness is a skill often referred to in social and communication skills training .

    Often wrongly confused with aggression, assertive individuals aim to be neither passive nor

    aggressive in their interactions with other people.

    Assertiveness means standing up for your personal rights - expressing thoughts, feelings and

    beliefs in direct, honest and appropriate ways." It is important to note also that "By being

    assertive we should always respect the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of other people

    Assertiveness concerns being able to express feelings, wishes, wants and desires

    appropriately and is an important interpersonal skill. In all your interactions with other

    people, whether at home or at work with employers, customers or colleagues, assertiveness

    can help you to express yourself in a clear, open and reasonable way, without undermining

    the rights of yourself or others.

    Being assertive involves taking into consideration both your own rights, wishes, wants, needs

    and desires, as well as those of the other person. Assertiveness means encouraging others to

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    16/21

    be open and honest about their views, wishes and feelings, in order that both parties act

    appropriately.

    Assertive behaviour includes:

    Being open in expressing wishes, thoughts and feelings and encouraging others to dolikewise.

    Listening to the views of others and responding appropriately, whether in agreementwith these views or not.

    Accepting responsibilities and being able to delegate to others. Regularly expressing appreciation of others for what they have done or are doing.

    Being able to admit to mistakes and apologise. Maintaining self-control. Behaving as an equal to others.

    Reflect and ImproveThink about previous conversations and other interpersonal interactions; learn from your

    mistakes and successes. Always keep a positive attitude but realise that we can all always

    improve our communication skills.

    The importance ofcommunication skills in interpersonal relationships cannot be stressed

    too greatly. An understanding of the factors that influence communication and effective

    communication skills are necessary in many areas of life.

    Empathise

    Empathy is trying to see things from the point-of-view of others. When communicating withothers, try not to be judgemental or biased by preconceived ideas or beliefs - instead view

    situations and responses from the other persons perspective. Stay in tune with your own

    emotions to help enable you to understand the emotions of others. If appropriate, offer your

    personal viewpoint clearly and honestly to avoid confusion. Bear in mind that some subjects

    might be taboo or too emotionally stressful for others to discuss.

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    17/21

    EncourageOffer words and actions of encouragement, as well as praise, to others. Make other people

    feel welcome, wanted, valued and appreciated in your communications. If you let others

    know that they are valued, they are much more likely to give you their best. Try to ensure

    that everyone involved in an interaction or communication is included through effective body

    language and the use of open questions.

    Learn to ListenListening is not the same as hearing; learn to listen not only to the words being spoken but

    how they are being spoken and the non-verbal messages sent with them. Use the techniques

    of clarification and reflection

    to confirm what the other person has said and avoid any confusion. Try not to think about

    what to say next whist listening; instead clear your mind and focus on the message being

    received. Your friends, colleagues and other acquaintances will appreciate good listening

    skills.

    Be Aware of Others' EmotionsBe sympathetic to other people's misfortunes and congratulate their positive landmarks. To

    do this you need to be aware of what is going on in other peoples lives. Make and maintain

    eye contact and use first names where appropriate. Do not be afraid to ask others for their

    opinions as this will help to make them feel valued. Consider the emotional effect of what

    you are saying and communicate within the norms of behaviour acceptable to the other

    person.

    Treat People EquallyAlways aim to communicate on an equal basis and avoid patronising people. Do not talk

    about others behind their backs and try not to develop favourites: by treating people as your

    equal and also equal to each other you will build trust and respect. Check that people

    understand what you have said to avoid confusion and negative feelings. Encourage open

    and honest feedback from the receiver to ensure your message is understood and to avoid the

  • 8/3/2019 Training Need Analysis- Group Project

    18/21

    receiver instead feeding back what they think you want to hear. If confidentiality is an issue,

    make sure its boundaries are known and ensure its maintenance.

    Attempt to Resolve ConflictLearn to troubleshoot and resolve problems and conflicts as they arise. Learn how to be an

    effective mediator and negotiator. Use your listening skills to hear and understand both sides

    of any argument - encourage and facilitate people to talk to each other. Try not to be biased

    or judgemental but instead ease the way for conflict resolution.

    Communicate EffectivelyDo not say the first thing that comes into your mind but instead take a moment and pay close

    attention to what you say and how you say it. Focus on the meaning of what you want to

    communicate. Aim to increase understanding by considering how your message might be

    received by the other person. By communicating clearly, you can help avoid

    misunderstandings and potential conflict with others. By speaking eloquently you will come

    across as more intelligent and mature. Also be aware of the messages you are sending via

    non-verbal channels: make eye contact and avoid defensive body language. Present

    information in a way that its meaning can be clearly understood. Pay particular attention to

    differences in culture, past experiences, attitudes and abilities before conveying your

    message. Avoid jargon and over-complicated language; explain things as simply as

    possible. Request clarification if unclear about a message. Always avoid racist and sexist

    terms or any language that may cause offence.

    Use HumourLaughing releases endorphins that can help relieve stress and anxiety; most people like to

    laugh and will feel drawn to somebody who can make them laugh. Dont be afraid to be

    funny or clever, but do ensure your humour is appropriate to the situation. Use your sense of

    humour to break the ice, to lower barriers and gain the affection of others. By using

    appropriate humour you will be perceived as more charismatic.

    Maintain a Positive Attitude and SmileFew people want to be around someone who is frequently miserable. Do your best to be

    friendly, upbeat and positive with other people. Maintain a positive, cheerful attitude to life:

    when things do not go to plan, stay optimistic and learn from your mistakes. If you smile

    often and stay cheerful, people are more likely to respond positively to you.

    Only Complain when Absolutely NecessaryPeople will not be drawn to you if you are constantly complaining or whinging. If something

    makes you angry or upset, wait for a few hours and calm down before taking action. If you

    do complain, do so calmly, try to find some positive aspects to the situation and avoid giving

    unnecessary criticism.

    Training Games on Interpersonal Skills:

    Interpersonal skills are an essential part of being a manager. As IMT , students are going to

    become future Managers. They may have to deal with customer complaints, but they also

    need to be able to communicate effectively with their subordinates and to organize those

    beneath them to work efficiently and effectively as a team. There are numerous ways for

    managers to learn these skills, but one of the more fun ways is to learn them via a game.

    Playing With Style

    One series of games that's available for interpersonal skills training is called PlayingWith Style. There are 10 separate card games that can be played with Playing With

    Style, and it comes with a CD-ROM explaining the rules of the various games. All of

    these games are meant to help players identify the various "styles" of personality that

    people possess, and to adapt to those personalities. Though more effective when used

    with the HRDQ training course, Playing With Style is a great series of games for

    teaching management and lower employees alike how to identify, communicate and

    work with all types of personalities.

    Managing People

    The name of this game says it all. Managing People utilizes role playing scenariosthat allow managers to practice and hone their people and communication skills in a

    low-risk, low-pressure environment. Participants are split up into teams, and they're

    then faced with a number of volatile situations involving other people. There are five

    potential solutions to each given situation, and teams must discuss amongstthemselves and agree on the best solution before putting it into a single PC or laptop

    to get the results of their decision. The actual answering is secondary, and it's the

    negotiation and communication of the decision that yield most of this game's benefits.

    Listening Games

    Sometimes managers do too much talking and not enough listening, and there are avariety of training games that work on this problem. One of them is simply called

    Draw a Picture. In this game all participants are given a pen and a piece of paper, and

    one person sits at the front of the room. The person at the front (usually the instructor)

    calls out directions such as "draw a circle in the center of your paper, and then

    beneath that circle draw a rectangle." Participants may find that when given general

    directions they are vastly off the mark, and it will give them insights that they may

    need to be more specific to get more specific results.

    Conclusion:

    We hope , after going through this training program on interpersonal skills , the first year

    students of IMT , Nagpur ,Will really benefited and improve their interpersonal skills which
