INTRODUCTION TO TRAINING

AND DEVELOPMENT

Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for


enhancing his efficiency and effectiveness to a particular work area by
getting more knowledge and practices. Also training is important to
establish specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee. For an
organization, training and development are important as well as
organizational growth, because the organizational growth and profit are
also dependent on the training. But the training is not a core of
organizational development. It is a function of the organizational
development.

Training is different form education; particularly formal education. The


education is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, but the
aims of training are increasing knowledge while changing attitudes and
competences in good manner. Basically the education is formulated
within the framework and to syllabus, but the training is not formed in to
the frame and as well as syllabus. It may differ from one employee to
another, one group to another, even the group in the same class. The
reason for that can be mentioned as difference of attitudes and skills from

one person to another. Even the situation is that, after good training
programme, all different type skilled one group of employees can get in
to similar capacity, similar skilled group. That is an advantage of the
trainings.

In the field of Human Resources Management, Training and


Development is the field concern with organizational activities which are
aimed to bettering individual and group performances in organizational
settings. It has been known by many names in the field HRM, such as

employee development, human resources development, learning and

1
development etc. Training is
really developing employees’
capacities through learning and
practicing.

Training and Development is the


framework for helping
employees to develop their
personal and organizational
skills, knowledge, and abilities.
The focus of all aspects of Human Resource Development is on
developing the most superior workforce so that the organization and
individual employees can accomplish their work goals in service to
customers.

All employees want to be valuable and remain competitive in the labour


market at all times, because they make some demand for employees in
the labour market. This can only be achieved through employee training
and development. Hence employees have a chance to negotiate as well as
employer has a good opportunity to select most suitable person for his
vacancy. Employees will always want to develop career-enhancing skills,
which will always lead to employee motivation. There is no doubt that a
well trained and developed staff will be a valuable asset to the company

and thereby increasing the chances of his efficiency in discharging his


duties.

Trainings in an organization can be mainly of two types; Internal and


External training sessions. Internal training involves when training is
organized in-house by the human resources department or training
department using either a senior staff or any talented staff in the
particular department as a resource person.

On the other hand external training is normally arranged outside the firm

2
and is mostly organized by training institutes or consultants. Whichever
training, it is very important for all staff and helps in building career
positioning and preparing staff for greater challenges in developing
world. However the training is costly. Because of that, people who work
at firms do not receive external trainings most of times. Training

programmes in Sri Lanka. But nowadays, a new concept has come with
these trainings which are ―Trainers through trainees‖. While training
their employees in large quantities, many countries use that method in
present days to reduce
reduc e their training costs.
costs . The theory of this is, sending
send ing a
little group or an individual for a training programme under a bonding
agreement or without a bond. When they come back to work, the
externally trained employees train the employees who have not
participated for above training programme by internal training
programmes.

Employers of labour should enable employees to pursue training and


development in a direction that they choose and are interested in, not just
in company-assigned directions. Companies should support learning, in
general, and not just in support of knowledge needed for the employee's
current or next anticipated job. It should be noted that the key factor is
keeping the employee interested, attending, engaged, motivated and
retained.

For every employee to perform well, especially Supervisors and Managers,


there is a need for constant training and development. The right employee
training, development and education provides big payoffs for the employer
in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty, and contribution to general
growth of the firm. In most cases external trainings for instance provide
participants with the avenue to meet new set of people in the same field
and network. The meeting will give them the chance to compare issues and
find out what is obtainable in each other's environment.

It is not mentioned in any where that the employers, managers and

3
supervisors are not suitable for training programmes. They also must be
highly trained if they are expected to do their best for the organization.
Through that they will have best abilities and competencies to manage the
organization. Training employees not only creates a more positive
corporate culture, but also add a value to its key resources.

Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the


organization to achieve its goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the
developed employees are continuously increasing. Thus the training is a
kind of investment.

It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge,


sharpening of skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and
behaviours to enhance the performance of employees.
Training is activity leading to skilled behaviour

Training and Development in IT/Software
Developmentt Industry
Developmen

The Indian IT sector is growing at a very fast pace and is expected to earn a
revenue of US $87 billion by 2008. In 2006, it has earned revenue of about US
$ 40 billion with a
growth rate of 30%.
IT sector is
expected to
generate 2.3
million jobs by
2010, according to
NASSCOM
(National
Association of
Software and
Service
Companies)

With this rapid expansion of IT sector and coming up of major players and
new technologies like SAP, the need of human resource development has
increased.

According to the recent review by Harvard Business Review, there is a direct


link between training investment of the companies and the market
capitalization. Those companies with higher training investment had higher
market capitalization. It clearly indicates that the companies which have
successfully implemented training programs have been able to deliver

5
customer goals with effective results. It shows that good training results in
enhancement of individual performance, which in turn, helps the organization
in achieving its business goals. Training is a tool that can help in gaining
competitive advantage in terms of human resource.

With the growing investment by IT companies in the development of their


employees many companies have now started their own learning centres. As
an example, Sun has its own training department. Accenture has Internet based
tool by the name of ―My Learning‖ that offers access to its vast learning
resources to its employees. Companies are investing in both the technical
training, which has always been an essential part in IT industry, as well as in
managerial skills development. Companies now kept aside 3-5% of revenue
for training programs. As an example, some of the major players like Tata
Alexi and Accenture are allocating 7% and 3% respectively of the company’s

overall revenue.

The specific areas where training is given in IT/Software Development


sector are:

Computer Manufacturing

EDP/ E- Commerce

Designing

Maintenance Service

Operating jobs, Computer operators, Data Entry

System Developing /Programming /Software Engineering

Networking

Application programming

6
Research and development in peripheral integration

Product quality control and reliability testing

Enterprise resource planning

Database warehouse management

Concern in Information Technology Training

As an example, New Horizons is establishing partnership with its customers

One of the major concerns for training companies is to create professionals


who are better able to go in for a technology in a specific domain area. Other
than that, there are various issues that are affecting the IT training sector such
as, lack of conviction regarding training, unplanned training approach,
uncertain quality focus, and lengthy decision-making process.

With the coming up of various new technologies, it has become a challenge


for the training institutes to offer effective, updated, latest, planned training to
candidates in a shortest-possible time. To increase the market share, most of
the training institutes are now strategizing to launch new product and are
marketing aggressively.

and delivering quality training. The company regularly conducts surveys of


training needs in Indian job market. On the other side, NIIT has invested in
product development to create product segmentation and is customizing them
to address IT/ITES education arena.

Patch is venturing into colleges, research firms, and universities. Another


opportunity that has been identified by Patch is the field of developing content
and the company is offering these services to third-party clients for
customization.

7
Essentials in IT Industry

to survive in long term there are some definite essential things such as,

Good infrastructure

Trained trainers

Quality of content

Certification of training course

Effective Training evaluation

Post training support, etc

This must be met by the Indian players.

With the rapid expansion in IT/ITES sector, now there is enough scope of IT
training courses and institutes. IT sector is soon going to face a huge shortfall
of skilled employees, if the growth in the software industry goes by as
expected. According to recent report of NASSCOM (The National Association
of Software and Services Companies) on software industry,

8
the IT services sector will see a shortfall of 2,35,000 people by 2008. IT
spending in the global business world is expected to grow by 6 to 7 % in the
next 3 years, which will be enough to give boost to the IT training sector.

This huge IT spending is largely because of uptake in IT recruitment.

Emerging Scenario in IT Industry

According to a recent IDC report, India alone spends $216 million, i.e. 21% of
the total spending of IT training in the region, and is expected to be one of the
largest contributors in the coming years. This is largely because India alone
accounts for 60 % of the total Asia-Pacific demand for IT professionals.
Currently, the IT training market is valued at Rs 100 core, and is expected to
reach Rs 500 corer over the next 3 years.

The major factor that is responsible for growth in IT sector is the e-governance
initiatives introduced by central government and various other state
governments.
Now there is a notable shift from long-term course to short-term training
certifications. Due to this, the focus is now on hiring professionals with
expertise in particular domains. The demand has largely for JAVA and .NET
professionals. And on the NETWORKING end, network storage and Linux
demand is taking a toll.

competitive in today's digital era, and new markets have to be pioneered
continuously. Through the interplay of creative, imaginative people; a global
R&D network; an organisation that encourages collaboration and cooperation
among business partners all along the supply chain; and a strong commitment
to ongoing investment, Samsung has put R&D at the heart of everything we

engineers. More than a quarter of all Samsung employees —42,000 people—
work everyday in research and development, and we expect that number to
surpass 50,000 by 2010. At—and among—our 42 research facilities around
the world, they collaborate on strategic technologies for the future and original
technologies designed to forge new market trends and set new standards for
excellence.

Organisation
Samsung's R&D organization has three layers. The Samsung Advanced
Institute of Technology (SAIT) , Samsung's technology competitiveness in

core business areas, identifies growth engines for the future, and oversees the
securing and management of technology. The R&D centres of each business
focus on technology that is expected to deliver the most promising long-term
results. Division product development teams are responsible for
commercialising products scheduled to hit the market within one or two years.

Investment
A critical way that Samsung responds to the highly uncertain business
environment and the increasingly competitive marketplace is through our

commitment to R&D. Each year we invest at least 9% of our sales revenue in

28
R&D activities. Samsung is committed to leading technology standardisation
and securing intellectual property rights.

born and not made. There were also some views that training is a very costly
affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive
pinching. But now the scenario seems to be changing.

Modern approach- modern approach of training and development is that


Indian Organizations have realized the importance of corporate training.
Training is now considered as more of retention tool than a cost. The training
system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce and
yield the best results

Objectives of training and


development

objectives are one of the most important parts of training program.


Training objectives
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 objective tell the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end

33
of the training program. Training objectives are of great significance from a
number of stakeholder perspectives,

1 Trainer
2. Trainee

3. Designer
4. Evaluator

Trainee – The training objective is beneficial to the trainee because it


helps in 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 keeping it surprise.
Secondly, it helps in increase in concentration, which is the crucial factor
to make the training successful. The objectives create an image of the
training program in trainee’s mind that actuall y 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 is set. Therefore, training objectives helps in increasing the
probability that the participants will be successful in training.

Designer – The training objective is beneficial to the training designer


because if the designer is aware what is to be achieved in th e end then he’ll
buy the training package according to that only. The training designer
would then look for the training methods, training equipments, and training
content accordingly to achieve those objectives. Furthermore, planning
always helps in dealing effectively in an unexpected situation. Consider an

34
example; the objective of one training program is to 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 a product or when a

customer is angry.
Trainer – The training objective is also beneficial to trainer because it helps
the trainer to measure the progress of trainees and make the required
adjustment. Also, trainer comes in a position to establish a relationship
between objectives and particular
p articular segments of training.
trai ning.

.Therefore, without any guidance, the training may not be designed


appropriately.

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 objective is an important to tool to judge the performance of
participants.

The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure


the availability of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In
addition to that, there are four other objectives: Individual, Organizational,
Functional, and Societal.

Objectives – help employees in achieving their personal goals,


Individual Objectives
which in turn, enhances the individual contribution to an organization.
Organizational Objectives – assist the organization with its primary
objective by bringing individual effectiveness.
Functional Objectives – maintain the department’s contribution at a level
suitable to the organization’s needs.
Societal Objectives – ensure that an organization is ethically and socially
responsible to the needs and challenges of the society.

Benefits of training and development

Benefits of training are intangible and investing in training benefits both,


organization and employees for a long period. Training enhances a worker
level of skills. It provides sense of satisfaction, which is an intrinsic motivator.
Training also provides organization multi skill employees. Training increases
an employer commitment to their job and their organization. Better
understanding of jobs reduces accidents. One of the most important benefits of
training for an organization is that, it provides skills inside the organization
which reduces overall cost of an organization's operations. The major benefits
of training and development programs are that the employees who are trained
need lesser supervision than those who are not.

Training and development are often initiated for an employee or a group of


employees in order to:

 Relevantly remain in business.


 Create a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for
personnel who may leave or move up

enhances the company’s competitive position and improves employee
morale.
 Ensure adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.
 Pilot or test the operation of a new performance management system

36
Training is also initiated:

 As part of an overall professional development program


 When a performance appraisal indicates performance improvement is
needed.

The benefits of training and development to employees and organisations alike


are numerous and include (but are not limited to) the following:

 Workers are helped to focus, and priority is placed on empowering


employees.
 Productivity is increased, positively affecting the bottom line.
 Employee confidence is built, keeping and developing key performers,

One of the most important benefits of training for an organization is that, it


provides skills inside the organization which reduces overall cost of an
organization's operations. Quality is one of the key features required for
survival of an organization in long term. Total Quality Management (TQM)
and other quality management techniques require staff training as an important
requisite for its successful implementation.

Customer satisfaction increases repeat business, which is a key to success. By


training employees for promoting good customer relations will increase
customer satisfaction and quality of service. Just-in time philosophy is one of
the leading ideas in Japan.JIT emphasize on reduction in waste and waiting
time in production process. Better training will reduce waste and machine
down time. A major portion of quality costs consists of supervision; by
providing proper training this is reduced. Training increases productivity of
employees and processes.

High employee turnover may be a serious threat to an organization existence,

major benefit of training is that it reduces staff turnover and help an


organization to retain its staff. Better training can provide an organization
competitive advantage over others in industry

 Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.

Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from
training and developing its workers, including:

 Increased productivity.
 Reduced employee turnover.
 Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains.
 Decreased need for supervision.

Employees frequently develop a greater sense of self-worth, dignity and well-


being as they become more valuable to the firm and to society.
societ y. Generally they
t hey
will receive a greater share of the material gains that result from their
increased productivity. These factors give them a sense of satisfaction through
the achievement of personal and company goals.

The Training Process

The model below traces the steps necessary in the training process:


Organizational Objectives

43
 Needs Assessment
 Is There a Gap?
 Training Objectives
 Select the Trainees
 Select the Training Methods and Mode

Choose a Means of Evaluating
 Administer Training
 Evaluate the Training

Your business should have a clearly defined strategy and set of objectives that
direct and drive all the decisions made especially for training decisions. Firms
that plan their training process are more successful than those that do not.
Most business owners want to succeed, but do not engage in training design
that promise to improve their chances of success. Why? The five reasons most

often identified are:

Time - Small businesses managers find that time demands do not allow them
to train employees.

Getting started - Most small business managers have not practiced training
employees. The training process is unfamiliar.

Broad expertise - Managers tend to have broad expertise rather than the
specialized skills needed for training and development activities.

Lack of trust and openness - Many managers prefer to keep information


to themselves. By doing so they keep information from subordinates and
others who could be useful in the training and development process.

Scepticisms as to the value of the training - Some small business


owners believe the future cannot be predicted or controlled and their efforts,
therefore, are best centred on current activities i.e., making money today.

44
A well-conceived training program can help your firm succeed. A program
structured with the company's strategy and objectives in mind has a high
probability of improving productivity and other goals that are set in the
training mission.

For any business, formulating a training strategy requires addressing a series


of questions.

 Who are your customers? Why do they buy from you?


 Who are your competitors? How do they serve the market? What
competitive advantages do they enjoy? What parts of the market have
they ignored?
 What strengths does the company have? What weaknesses?
 What social trends are emerging that will affect the firm?

The purpose of formulating a training strategy is to answer two relatively


simple but vitally important questions:
(1) What is our business? And

(2) What should our business be? Armed with the answers to these questions
and a clear vision of its mission, strategy and objectives, a company can
identify its training needs.

Identifying
Identifying Training Needs

Training needs can be assessed by analyzing three major human resource


areas: the organization as a whole, the job characteristics and the needs of the
individuals. This analysis will provide answers to the following questions:

 Where is training needed?


 What specifically must an employee learn in order to be more
productive?
 Who needs to be trained?

45
Begin by assessing the current status of the company how it does what it does
best and the abilities of your employees to do these tasks. This analysis will
provide some benchmarks against which the effectiveness of a training
program can be
b e evaluated. Your firm should
shou ld know where it wants to be in five
years from its long-range strategic plan. What you need is a training program

to take your firm from here to there.

Second, consider whether the organization is financially committed to


supporting the training efforts. If not, any attempt to develop a solid training
program will fail.

Next, determine exactly where training


t raining is needed. It is foolish to implement
i mplement a
companywide training effort without concentrating resources where they are
needed most. An internal audit will help point out areas that may benefit from
training. Also, a skills inventory can help determine the skills possessed by the
employees in general. This inventory will help the organization determine
what skills are available now and what skills are needed for future
development.

Also, in today's market-driven economy, you would be remiss not to ask your
customers what they like about your business and what areas they think should
be improved. In summary, the analysis should focus on the total organization
and should tell you

(1) Where training is needed and

(2) Where it will work within the organization.

Once you have determined where training is needed, concentrate on the


content of the program. Analyze the characteristics of the job based on its
description, the written narrative of what the employee actually does. Training
based on job
jo b descriptions should go into detail about how the job is performed
on a task-by-task basis. Actually doing the job will enable you to get a better
feel for what is done.

46
Individual employees can be evaluated by comparing their current skill levels
or performance to the organization's performance standards or anticipated
needs. Any discrepancies between actual and anticipated skill levels identify a
training need.

Selection of Trainees
Once you have decided what training is necessary and where it is needed, the
next decision is who should be trained? For a small business, this question is
crucial. Training an employee is expensive, especially when he or she leaves
your firm for a better job. Therefore, it is important to carefully select who
will be trained.
Training programs should be designed to consider the ability of the employee
to learn the material and to use it effectively, and to make the most efficient

use of resources possible. It is also important that employees be motivated by


the training experience. Employee failure in the program is not only damaging
to the employee but a waste of money as well. Selecting the right trainees is
important to the success of the program.

Training Goals
The goals of the training program should relate directly to the needs
determined by the assessment process outlined above. Course objectives
should clearly state what behaviour or skill will be changed as a result of the

training and should relate to the mission and strategic plan of the company.
Goals should include milestones to help take the employee from where he or
she is today to where the firm wants him or her in the future. Setting goals
helps to evaluate the training program and also to motivate employees.
Allowing employees to participate in setting goals increases the probability of
success.

47
Training Methods

There are two broad types of training available to small businesses: on-the-job
and off-the-job techniques. Individual circumstances and the "who," "what"
and "why" of your training program determine which method to use.

On-the-job training is delivered to employees while they perform their


regular jobs. In this way, they do not lose time while they are learning. After a
plan is developed
dev eloped for what should be taught, employees
empl oyees should be informed of
the details. A timetable should be established with periodic evaluations to
inform employees about their progress. On-the-job techniques include
orientations, job instruction training, apprenticeships, internships and
assistantships, job rotation and coaching.

Off-the-job techniques include lectures, special study, films, television


conferences or discussions, case studies, role playing, simulation, programmed
instruction and laboratory training. Most of these techniques can be used by
small businesses although, some may be too costly.

Orientations are for new employees. The first several days on the job are
crucial in the success of new employees. This point is illustrated by the fact
that 60 percent of all employees who quit do so in the first ten days.
Orientation training should emphasize the following topics:

The company's history and mission.


 The key members in the organization.
 The key members in the department, and how the department helps
fulfil the mission of the company.
 Personnel rules and regulations.

Some companies use verbal presentations while others have written


presentations. Many small businesses convey these topics in one-on-one
orientations. No matter what method is used, it is important that the newcomer
understand his or her new place of employment.

48
Lectures present training material verbally and are used when the
t he goal is
i s to
present a great deal of material to many people. It is more cost effective to
lecture to a group than to train people individually. Lecturing is one-way
communication and as such may not be the most effective way to train. Also,
it is hard to ensure that the entire audience understands a topic on the same
level; by targeting the average attendee you may undertrained some and lose
others. Despite these drawbacks, lecturing is the most cost-effective way of
reaching large audiences.

Role playing and simulation are training techniques that attempt to


bring realistic decision making situations to the trainee. Likely problems and
alternative solutions are presented for discussion. The adage there is no better
trainer than experience is exemplified with this type of training. Experienced
employees can describe real world experiences, and can help in and learn from

developing the solutions to these simulations. This method is cost effective


and is used in marketing and management training.

Audiovisual methods such as television, videotapes and films are the


most effective means of providing real world conditions and situations in a
short time. One advantage is that the presentation is the same no matter how
many times it's played. This is not true with lectures, which can change as the
speaker is changed or can be influenced by outside constraints. The major flaw
with the audiovisual method is that it does not allow for questions and

interactions with the speaker, nor does it allow for changes in the presentation
for different audiences.

Job rotation involves moving an employee through a series of jobs so he or


she can get a good feel for the tasks that are associated with different jobs. It is
usually used in training for supervisory positions. The employee learns a little
about everything. This is a good strategy for small businesses because of the
many jobs an employee may be asked to do.

49
Apprenticeships develop employees who can do many different tasks.
They usually involve several related groups of skills that allow the apprentice
to practice a particular trade, and they take place over a long period of time in
which the apprentice works for, and with, the senior skilled worker.
Apprenticeships are especially appropriate for jobs requiring production skills.

Internships and assistantships are usually a combination of classroom


and on-the-job training. They are often used to train prospective managers or
marketing personnel.

Programmed learning, computer-aided instruction and interactive video


all have one thing in common: they allow the trainee to learn at his or her own
pace. Also, they allow material already learned to be bypassed in favour of
material with which a trainee is having difficulty. After the introductory

period, the instructor need not be present, and the trainee can learn as his or
her time allows. These methods sound good, but may be beyond the resources
of some small businesses.

Laboratory training is conducted for groups by skilled trainers. It usually


is conducted at a neutral site and is used by upper- and middle management
trainees to develop a spirit of teamwork and an increased ability to deal with
management and peers. It can be costly and usually is offered by larger small
businesses.

Trainers
Who actually conducts the training depends on the type of training needed and
who will be receiving it. On-the-job training is conducted mostly by
supervisors; off-the-job training, by either in-house personnel or outside
instructors.

In-house training is the daily responsibility of supervisors and employees.


Supervisors are ultimately responsible for the productivity and, therefore, the
training of their subordinates. These supervisors should be taught the
techniques of good training. They must be aware of the knowledge and skills

50
necessary to make a productive employee. Trainers should be taught to
establish goals and objectives for their training and to determine how these
objectives can be used to influence the productivity of their departments. They
also must be aware of how adults learn and how best to communicate with
adults. Small businesses need to develop their supervisors' training capabilities

by sending them to courses on training methods. The investment will pay off
in increased productivity.

There are several ways to select training personnel for off-the-job training
programs. Many small businesses use in-house personnel to develop formal
training programs to be delivered to employees off line from their normal
work activities, during company meetings or individually at prearranged
training sessions.

There are many outside training sources, including consultants, technical and
vocational schools, continuing education programs, chambers of commerce
and economic development groups. Selecting an outside source for training
has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage is that these
organizations are well versed in training techniques, which is often not the
case with in-house personnel.

The disadvantage of using outside training specialists is their limited


knowledge of the company's product or service and customer needs. These
trainers have a more general knowledge of customer satisfaction and needs. In
many cases, the outside trainer can develop this knowledge quickly by
immersing himself or herself in the company prior to training the employees.
Another disadvantage of using outside trainers is the relatively high cost
compared to in-house training, although the higher cost may be offset by the
increased effectiveness of the training. Whoever is selected to conduct the
training, either outside or in-house trainers, it is important that the company's
goals and values be carefully explained.

51
Training Administration
Administration
Having planned the training program properly; you must now administer the
Training to the selected employees. It is important to follow through to make
sure the goals are being met. Questions to consider before training begins
include:

 Location.
 Facilities.
 Accessibility.
 Comfort.
 Equipment.
 Timing.

Careful attention to these operational details will contribute to the success of


the training program. An effective training program administrator should
follow these steps:

 Define the organizational objectives.


 Determine the needs of the training program.
 Define training goals.
 Develop training methods.
 Decide whom to train.
 Decide who should do the training.
 Administer the training.
 Evaluate the training program.

Following these steps will help an administrator develop an effective


training program to ensure that the firm keeps qualified employees who
are productive, happy workers. This will contribute positively to the
bottom line.

Evaluation of Training

Training should be evaluated several times during the process. Determine

52
these milestones when you develop the training. Employees should be
evaluated by comparing their newly acquired skills with the skills defined by
the goals of the training program. Any discrepancies should be noted and
adjustments made to the training program to enable it to meet specified goals.
Many training programs fall short of their expectations simply because the
administrator failed to evaluate its progress until it was too late. Timely
evaluation will prevent the training from straying from its goals.

Training Cycle

Stage 1 - Identification of training needs

This initial stage of the training cycle addresses finding out if there is, or
identifying, training need. If a need is identified, it is at this stage that who
needs trained (target audience), in what and how you will know the training
has had the intended impact success criteria of the training should be
identified. This stage will help those who identify training needs to consider
why the training is required and its expected outcome and impact.

53
How you will measure if the training has met the original need i.e. brought
about intended change in behaviour, performance.

Stage 2 - Design of training solutions

This stage covers planning, design and development of magistrate training. It


aims to ensure that a systematic and consistent approach is adopted for all
training solutions. Training solutions cover face to face training and open and
flexible learning including e-learning.

Stage 3 - Delivery of training solutions

This stage of the training cycle ensures that the delivery of the training is
effective and provides opportunities for the learners to learn. This will involve
choosing the most appropriate format for meeting training needs, and taking
advantage of different training methods.

Stage 4 - Application of training in the court environment


environment

This stage of the training cycle is concerned with ensuring that all learning
outcomes are applied and reinforced in practice within the court environment.
This stage will help those who monitor the development of individual learners

and review their progress.

Stage 5 - Evaluation of training solutions

This stage of the training cycle deals with the collection, analysis and
presentation of information to establish the improvement in performance that
results from this.This stage will help those who evaluate learning programmes,
or who respond to developments in learning, or plan and introduce
improvements in learning interventions.

54
Research Methodology

Research is common parlance refer to the search for knowledge. It can be also
defined as a systematic and scientific search for pertinent information on
specific topic; In fact search is a part of scientific investigation. In simple
terms research means "a careful investigation or enquiry through search for
new facts in any branch of knowledge‖

Samples

We always have to work with a sample of subject rather than the full
population. But people are interested in population, not the sample. To
generalise from the sample to the population, the sample has to be
representative of the population. The safety way to ensure that the
representative is to use a random selection procedure.

Method of sampling used

"Random selection process"

In the random selection method, all items have some chance of selection that
can be calculated. Random sampling technique ensures that bias is not
introduced regarding who is not included in survey.

Sampling size

The sampling size is taken in 20 employees from the Human resource


department in Samsung company private limited, Nagpur.

Data collection

Survey questionnaires: Behaviour, belief and observation of specific groups


are identified, reported and interpreted.

Development of Hypothesis

Hypothesis is usually considered as the principle instrument . Its main function


is to suggest new experiment and observation. In fact many experiments are
carried out with the deliberate object of testing HYPOTHESIS. In general it is
taken as a proposal to accept something as true. It may prove to be correct or
incorrect. So after defining the objective and having good literature survey.

I set the hypothesis for my research project as –

The training and development program adopted by Samsung Company helps


to improve employee's performance and simultaneously fulfil organisation

objectives.
Training and development activities conducted by Samsung Company are
effective and the employees are better performers after the training is
imparted.

to multiple stakeholder groups. By an effective training evaluation process, an
organization can obtain the information to improve both training program
delivery and business performance, creating opportunities for continues
organizational improvement. Different types of behavioural training programs
should be organized in or outside the company so that the executives are more
efficient and effective in their work.

Behavioural training programs such as control your destiny, work-life balance,


leadership for success, mind Enovation, managing changes, organizational

decline and turn around management process. Attitude for excellence,


creativity and Enovation managing for result, ethical decision making time
management, creative conflict management, team building.

company purpose of ―bringing knowledge to life‖ and the core value of
―lifelong learning‖ for workers.
