Effectiveness of Training and Development
Employees training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge
so that employees is better equipped to do his present job, or to prepare him for higher
position with increased responsibilities. However individual growth is not and ends in
itself. Organizational growth need to be measured along with individual growth.
Training refers to the teaching or learning activities done for the primary purpose of
helping members of an organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking
training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a
particular job.
In today’s scenario change is the order of the day and the only way to deal with it is to
learn and grow. Employees have become central to success or failure of on
organization they are the cornucopia ideas. So its high time that the organization
realises that ―train and retain is the mantra of new millennium.
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 these
requirements, training is not important. When this not the case, it is necessary to raise
the skills 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 employees
training is not only an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is to
maintain a viable and knowledgeable work force.
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. What are the ways we can identify the training need of any employees
and how to know what kind of training he can go for?
Training being in different aspect likes integrating it with organizational culture. The
best and latest available trends in training method, the benefits which we can derive
2
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 train and retain the best resource in the world to reap the
best out of it.

STAGES OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS:
Training should be conducted in a systematic order so as to derive expected benefits
from it. The training system involves four stages, namely:
a. Assessment of training and development programs needs.
b. Designing the training and development programs.
c. Implementation of the training program

contribute to both employee and organizational effectiveness. There are several steps
in the process of management development. These includes reviewing organizational
objectives, evaluating the organization’s current management resources, determining
individual needs, designing and implementing development programs and evaluating
the effectiveness of these programs and measuring the impact of training on
participants quality of work life. In simple way, it can be denoted as per the following
formula.
Employee Development = Employee Education + Employee Skills +
Training Effectiveness + Employee Quality of work life

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Review of Literature
Kuldeep Sing (2000) has selected 84 organizations from business representing all the
major domestic industries questionnaire has developed by Huselid (1993) are used to
study training. The objectives of the study are to examine the relationship between
training and organizational performance which shows that Indian organizations are
still not convinced of the fact that investments in human resources can result in higher
performance.
Alphonsa V.K. (2000) has conducted training climate survey in a large private
hospital in Hyderabad. 50 supervisors from different departments of the hospitals
randomly selected for the study. The researcher used training – climate survey
questionnaire (Rao-1989). “The analysis of training climate as perceived by the
supervisors” Covered various aspects such as corporate philosophy policies superior,
subordinate relationships, valued performance features and behaviours, interpersonal
and group relationship.
The results showed that reasonably good training-climate is prevailing in this
organization but the supervisors’ perception about training-climate differs according
to their respective departments.
A study conducted by Shiv Kumar Singh and Subhash Banerjee (2000), ”Trainer
roles in Cement industry”, says that ,today the Indian Cement Industry is the second
largest in the world. There has been tremendous growth of activities in the Indian
Cement Industry in terms of modernization, in order to keep pace with such
modernization/expansion due to technological development, a strong manpower base
equipped with latest development has to be built with in Cement Industry, New
Training initiative has to be taken at all levels. A Trainer’s main objective is to
transfer his knowledge and skills to the Trainees. This paper is focused on the Trainer
Roles in
Cement Industry, the factors which are important to become an effective Trainer. This
Involves identifying training courses, choosing appropriate Training methods,
evaluation of Training activities, and helping the Trainer to deliver good Training to
the Cement Industry.
A study on “HRD strategies at various levels in construction organisations” by
Singh, S. K. and Banerjee, S. (2000), reveals that construction is the second largest
economic activity in India, and accounts for half of the nation's investment or
6
development. In this article the authors briefly discuss the HRD strategies at various
levels in construction organisations. Many sectors of the construction industry are in
urgent need of technological upgradation. An effort to develop manpower by the
organisations will directly show results in the bottom line. Since there are not many
professionals imparting training in construction - related aspects, refreshers training is
essential and some concrete efforts in imparting systematic technical training is
necessary.
Binna Kandola (2000) has discussed some of the difficulties associated with accurate
and useful evaluation of training effectiveness particularly in the department of soft
skills which include skills relating to people management. The author highlights
some existing training evaluation techniques and then outlines a model of training
evaluation which currently is found to be successful in the United Kingdom.
