INTRODUCTION
Employee training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge so that
employee is better equipped to do his present job, or to prepare him for a higher position with
increased responsibilities. However individual growth is not and ends in itself. Organizational
Training refers to the teaching or learning activities done for the primary purpose of helping
members of an organization to acquire and apply the knowledge skills, abilities, and attitude
needed by that organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking training is the
act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing particular job.
In todays scenario change is the order of the day and the only way to deal with it is to learn
and grow.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced people to perform the
activities that have to be done. If current or potential job occupants can meet this
requirement, training is not important. When this not the case, it is necessary to raise the skill
levels and increase the versatility and adaptability of employees. It is being increasing
common for individual to change careers several times during their working lives. The
probability of any young person learning a job today and having those skills go basically
unchanged during the forty or so years if his career is extremely unlikely, may be even
impossible. In a rapid changing society employee training is not only an activity that is
desirable but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is to maintain
The entire project talks about the training and development in theoretical as well as new
concepts, which are in trend now. Here we have discussed what would be the input of
training if we ever go for and how can it be good to any organization in reaping the benefits
from the money invested in terms like (ROI) i.e. return on investment. Training being
covered in different aspect likes integrating it with organizational culture. The best and latest
available trends in training method are the benefits which we can derive out of it. How the
evaluation should be done and how effective is the training all together. Some of the
companies practicing training in unique manner a lesson for other to follow as to how to train
and retain the best resource in the world to reap the best outfit.

TRAINING DEFINED
Its not what you want in life, but its knowing how to reach it
Its not where you want to go, but its knowing how to get there
Its not how high you want to rise, but its knowing how to take off
It may not be quite the outcome you were aiming for, but it will be an outcome
Its not what you dream of doing, but its having the knowledge to do it
Its not the goal you set, but its what you need to achieve it
Training is about knowing where you stand (no matter how good or bad the current situation
looks) at present, and where you will be after some point of time. Training is about the
15
Importance of Training Objectives
Training objective is one of the most important parts of training program. While some people
think of training objective as a waste of valuable time. The counterargument here is that
resources are always limited and the training objectives actually lead the design of training. It
provides the clear guidelines and develops the training program in less time because
objectives focus specifically on needs. It helps in adhering to a plan. Training objectives tell
the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end of the training program. Training
1. Trainer The training objective is also beneficial to trainer because it helps the
trainer to measure the progress of trainees and make the required adjustments. Also,
reducing the anxiety of the trainee up to some extent. Not knowing anything or going
to a place which is unknown creates anxiety that can negatively affect learning.
Therefore, it is important to keep the participants aware of the happenings, rather than
factor to make the training successful. The objectives create an image of the training
program in trainees mind that actually helps in gaining attention. Thirdly, if the goal
is set to be challenging and motivating, then the likelihood of achieving those goals is
much higher than the situation in which no goal asset. Therefore, training objectives
helps in increasing the probability that the participants will be successful in training.

3. Designer The training objective is beneficial to the training designer because if the
designer is aware what is to be achieved in the end then hell buy the training package
according to that only. The training designer would then look for the training
deal effectively with customers to increase the sales. Since the objective is known, the
designer will design a training program that will include ways to improve the
interpersonal skills, such as verbal and non verbal language, dealing in unexpected
situation i.e. when there is a defect in product or when a customer is angry. Therefore,
4. Evaluator It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of the
trainees because the objectives define the expected performance of trainees. Training

Training and Human Resource Management
The HR functioning is changing with time and with this change, the relationship between the
training function and other management activity is also changing. The training and
development activities are now equally important with that of other HR functions. Goneare
the days, when training was considered to be futile, waste of time, resources, and money.
Now-a-days, training is an investment because the departments such as, marketing & sales,
HR, production, finance, etc depends on training for its survival. If training is not considered
as a priority or not seen as a vital part in the organization, then it is difficult to accept that
such a company has effectively carried out HRM. Training actually provides the opportunity
to raise the profile development activities in the organization. To increase the commitment
team is now increasing the role of training. Such concepts of HRM require careful planning
Training is now the important tool of Human Resource Management to control the attrition
rate because it helps in motivating employees, achieving their professional and personal
goals, increasing the level of job satisfaction, etc. As a result training is given on a variety of

Models of Training
Training is a sub-system of the organization because the departments such as, marketing&
sales, HR, production, finance, etc depends on training for its survival. Training is a
transforming process that requires some input and in turn it produces output in the form of
A System is a combination of things or parts that must work together to perform a particular
function. An organization is a system and training is a sub system of the organization. The
System Approach views training as a sub system of an organization. System Approach can be
used to examine broad issues like objectives, functions, and aim. It establishes a logical
relationship between the sequential stages in the process of training need analysis (TNA),
formulating, delivering, and evaluating. There are 4necessary inputs i.e. technology, man,
material, time required in every system to produce products or services. And every system
must have some output from these inputs in order to survive. The output can be tangible or
planned creation of training program. This approach uses step-by-step procedures to solve the
problems. Under systematic approach, training is undertaken on planned basis. Out of this
planned effort,
one such basic model of five steps is system model that is explained below. Organization are

threats and opportunities, therefore, trainers need to be aware of these forces which may
impact on the content, form, and conduct of the training efforts. The internal forces are the

Transitional model
Transitional model focuses on the organization as a whole. The outer loop describes the
vision, mission and values of the organization on the basis of which training model i.e. inner
loop is executed.
Vision focuses on the milestones that the organization would like to achieve after the
Defined point of time. A vision statement tells that where the organization sees itself few
years down the line. A vision may include setting a role mode, or bringing some internal
Mission explain the reason of organizational existence. It identifies the position in the
community. The reason of developing a mission statement is to motivate, inspire, and inform
the employees regarding the organization. The mission statement tells about the identity that
how the organization would like to be viewed by the customers, employees, and all other
stakeholders.
Values Is the translation of vision and mission into communicable ideals. It reflects the
deeply held values of the organization and is independent of current industry environment.
For example, values may include social responsibility, excellent customer service, etc.
The mission, vision, and values precede the objective in the inner loop. This model considers
the organization as a whole. The objective is formulated keeping these three things in mind
24
LEARNING AND TRAINING
Irrespective of the type or method of training, a trainer has to keep in mind some of the
taught.
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
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 trainees performance. When the trainees practice actually they gain
confidence and are less likely to make errors or to forget what they have learned.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:
Training and development go hand in hand and are often used synonymously but there is a
of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their
behavior. It intends to improve their performance on the current job and prepares them for an
intended job.
Development is a related process. It covers not only those activities, which improve job
performance, but also those, which bring about growth of the personality. It helps individual
in the progress towards maturity and actualization of potential capabilities so that they can
30
BEST TIME TO IMPART TRAINING TO EMPLOYEE
These have a requirement for induction into the company as a whole in terms of it business
activities and personnel policies and provisions, the terms, conditions and benefits
appropriate to the particular employee, and the career and advancement opportunities
available.
These are people who are moved from one job to another, either within the same work area,
i.e. the same department or function, or to dissimilar work under a different management.
Under this heading we are excluding promotions, which take people into entirely new levels
of responsibility.
3. PROMOTIONS
Although similar to the transferee in that there is a new job to be learned in new
surroundings, he is dissimilar in that the promotion has brought him to a new level of
supervisory or management responsibility. The change is usually too important and difficult
to make successfully to permit one to assume that the promotes will pick it up as he goes
along and attention has to be paid to training in the tasks and the responsibilities and personal

4. NEW PLANT OR EQUIPMENT
Even the most experienced operator has everything to learn when a computer and electronic
controls replace the previous manual and electro-mechanical system on the process plant on
which he works. There is no less a training requirement for the supervisors and process
5. NEW PROCEDURES
Mainly for those who work in offices in commercial and administrative functions but also for
those who we workplace is on the shop floor or on process plant on any occasion on which
materials from stores, the control of customer credit the approval of expense claims, there
needs to be instruction on the change in the way of working in many instances, a note
bringing the attention of all concerned the change is assume to be sufficient, but ` are cases,
such as when total new systems in corporating IT up dates are installed, when more thorough
training is needed.
Changes in any one these are likely to be conveyed by printed note or by word of mouth by
the manager to his subordinates, and this can be the most satisfaction way of dealing with the
change from the point of view of getting those affected to understand their new
responsibility. However not all changes under this heading can be left to this sort of handling.
whoever has to perform it he may not understand the purpose behind the change and lose
32
confidence in a management which he now believes to be messing about, or he may
understand the purpose and have a better alternative to offer if it is not too late.
These can arise, as a result of management decisions, in a number of ways. In examples the
the section leaders of credit control, invoicing and customer records, although there is no
movement of staff between the sections (i.e. no transfers). Although the change in work
content for each clerk and supervisor is defined clearly for each person in the new
procedures, there is nevertheless a need for each person to know where he stands in the new
set up, which is responsible for what, and where to direct problems and enquiries as they arise
in the future.
8. MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS
We are here concerned with maintenance of standards through training, for it must be
remembered that supervision and inspection and qualify control are continuously responsible
for standards and exercise their own authorities to this end. Although it is generally agreed
that some retraining from time to time, taking varied forms even for the on group of
employees, does act as both a reminder and a stimulus, there is not much agreement on the
next frequency and form that such retraining should take, of there is as yet little scientific
Again, whilst there is little scientific study of the loss of ability to learn new skills in those
cases where people spend a long time without change, and without the need to learn, there is
33
increasing evidence in current experience to suggest that this is the case in industrial
employment. Add, of course, there is the inference arising from the laboratory experiments of
psychologists.
Skills in supervising, employee appraisal, communications, leadership etc are important in all
companies. Some of these skills are seen to be critical to major developments in company
organisation, culture, employee empowerment and so on. Initial training in these skills is not
uncommon in the largest companies on appointment into management and supervision. But
continuous training and performance monitoring is rare, despite the common knowledge that
Employees of any position in the company who are heading towards retirement will benefit
from learning about health, social life, work opportunities money management etc. Internal or

34
TYPES OF TRAINING
Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly training programmes maybe of the
following types:
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
pre-job training.
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
known as safety training. It involves instruction in the use of safety devices and in safety
consciousness.
35
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
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
36
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
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. 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
37
Enlarged and enriched job responsibilities:
METHODS OFTRAINING
By giving an employee added job duties, and increasing the autonomy and responsibilities
associated with the job, the company allows an employee to learn a lot about the job,
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 follows up.
Coaching:
The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coaching 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

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 steam work and group cohesiveness
OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
It includes anything performed away from the employees job area or immediate work area.
IN HOUSE PROGRAMMES
These are conducted within the organizations own training facility; either by training

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

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
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.
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.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Executives are the people who shape the policies, make the decisions and see their
implementation in any business organization. They are the president, the vice-president, the
marketing etc.
Executive development may be stated as the application of planned efforts for raising the
performance standards of high level managers, and for improving the attitudes and activities
that enter into or influence their work and their work relations.
Following are the steps, which are involved in the development process of executives:
OBJECTIVES
The first and foremost step is to define the long- term objectives of training and development
of executives.
An inventory of managers is taken with special focus on their strength in terms of managerial
skills and other attributes. Their unique capabilities, specialist knowledge and achievements
are listed down against each. A comparison with the requirement of the organization will
bring the gap in knowledge and skills of existing executive. This is the weakness.
41
LONG- RANGE PLANS
Here the management prepares long-term training and development plans for their
executives, which include the annual training targets, the annual budget sand the specific area
of training.
This programme specify the duration, starting time, ending time, number of executives being

In this step, the effectiveness of the executive training programme is evaluated by measuring
the improved performance of executives who underwent the programme, on their job. There

achievement and improve future effectiveness.There are four groups of measures of training
- No Measurement
- Subjective Measures
- Qualitative Measures
- Objective Measures
The first group, in which no real measurement occurs, includes activities undertaken as an
communications in organization, which seem to make people feel good and appear to have
exemplified by the Happy Sheet. The main question asked is about how individuals feel
after the training. Organizations often make the assumption that positive responses indicate
training success and therefore value to the organization. However, course delegates may well
give strong positive response scores for a number of reasons, including the presentational
skills of the trainer, the quality of the venue, and the feel good factor of indulging in a
creative work group, and so on. Quality measures appear to bemire objective than the
previous group, but are often flawed by subjectivity as well. They are typified by
43
questionnaires asking delegates to put a value on the likely benefits of a training
programme. Objective measures are the only really meaningful ones. However, they
challenge the provider of training to demonstrate how their training activities feed through to
the bottom line: in terms of return on investment and return on the capital employed. There
has often been an assumption, in times past, that training somehow justifies itself, because

approach and are badly caught out when a rigorous analysis of all the functions of the

the general attitude, and approaches of the trainers, training methods, etc are some of the
Measuring the carry-home value of a training programme in terms of what has-been achieved
and how much is the main task of evaluation. This, however, is complex technical and
professional task. Benefits of a training programme are not obvious and they are not readily
measurable. Payoffs from training are intangible and rather slow to become apparent. A

In job-related training, the objective is to train people for specific job skills so that their
productivity may increase. Evaluation can be done either to the direct criterion of increase in
output or to the indirect criteria of decrease in cost, breakage or rejects. Even more indirect
are measures that point out changes in absenteeism or turnover. The most difficult problems
of evaluation lie in the area of human relations skill training, which is given to the
supervisors and middle- level managers. Supervisory and managerial training programmes
are, for this reason, less amenable to objective review procedures. Much subjectivity enters
into evaluations of these programmes, since exact standards and criteria are hard to devise.

The Benefits of Employee Training:
Leads to improved profitability and/or more positive attitudes towards profit orientation.
Improves the job knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization
Helps keep costs down in many areas, e.g. production, personnel, administration, etc.

TRAINNING AND DEVELOPMENT IN CEREBTRATE
SOLUTION
The philosophy to establish and build a strong performance driven culture with greater
accountability and responsibility at all levels. To that extent the Company views capability as
a combination of the right people in the right jobs, supported by the right processes, systems,
structure and metrics. The Company organizes various training and development
programmes, both in house and at other places in order to enhance the skills and efficiency of
its employees. These training and development programmes are conducted at various levels
for officers.
They provides training to all its employees as per the policy of the organization.
MANAGEMENT STAFF
The Performance Appraisal form of the organization has a section in which the training and
development needs are filled up. The Individual Officer first identifies the training needs of
himself and then it is recommended by the reporting Officer and then by the Departmental
Head.
47
Training needs are identified based on:
IMPARTING OF TRAINING
Actual training is imparted with the help of in-house. Training is also imparted by
nominating the concerned employee for an external training programme. All records of the
training are maintained as per Record of Training in the Personnel folder and the same is
intimated to the Executive Office Personnel through the Monthly Personnel Report.
FEEDBACK
A feedback is taken from the participants through a questionnaire on the programme and their
impressions in order to further improve upon the same. There are three such questionnaires
available and one of these is used depending upon the nature of the training programme and
the level of participants. Also, a person from the personnel department sits through the final
session of the programme and takes the verbal feedback about the programme.

sampling from a finite population refers to that method of sample selection, which gives each
possible sample combination an equal probability of being picked up and each item in the
entire population to have an equal chance of being included in the sample. This sampling is
without replacement, i.e. once an item is selected for the sample, it cannot appear in the
sample again.
