OBJECTIVES OF TRAININGOBJECTIVES OF TRAINING
The general objectives of training are as follows-:
(a)To improve job related skills
some employees are not able to perform their jobs well. They
possess inadequate skills and knowledge of their assignment with
the result that they produce poor quality and volume of output,
waste resources, damage equipment tools, respond insufficiently to
the supervisors instructions and so on. They need a training
course for the purpose of removing their deficiencies and fitting
them to their jobs.
(b)To update knowledge and skills
Organizations need to help their employees to keep up their
knowledge and skills in tune with the contemporary trends. This is
especially so in these days of explosive improvements and
innovations in science and technology .Organizations should
support their personnel in the battle against skill obsolescence.
Personnel are to be exposed to refresher courses and
developmental programs with a view to improve their utility to the
organization.
16
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
17/101
(c) To prepare for higher responsibilities
The personnel need to have opportunities for advancement in their
careers .Concurrently; they should also be striving for assuming
higher responsibilities and performing tasks that are more complex
with competence. For this purpose, an organization may design asystem whereby opportunities are made available to personnel for
their career advancement and simultaneously preparing them
through for higher positions.
(d)To develop proper job-related attitudes
The employees have to be trained to develop positive and helpfulattitudes toward their jobs, superiors, colleagues and juniors, the
goals, policies and procedures of the organization and to the
environment of the work place. Employees sometimes tend to be
ignorant, indifferent and even hostile towards their jobs in their
inter-personnel relations and to the work culture. Attitude
development and socialization of the personnel is essential for
generating teamwork, ensuring discipline and maintaining
consistent behavior. It is a question of proper training and
orientation ,both for new incumbent and others.
17
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
18/101
(e)To mould personnel to adapt to organizational changes-
Organizations need to be dynamic to cope with, adjust and adapt to
the changes in technology, and other environmental changes .New
methods, techniques, processes and equipments have to be adopted.
New and innovative approaches to planning, structuring,motivation, leadership, and control and conflict management have
to be evolved. The personnel have to be conditioned to learn new
skills and capabilities to enable them to be receptive to required
changes and to assimilate them .For this purpose, they are to be
properly trained. Training of personnel is one of the approaches
for the organization to win over their resistance to change which iscaused by fear, anxiety and unfamiliarity.

NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF TRAININGNEED AND IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING
Training is a necessity not a luxury. Many big companies spendhuge amounts on training, as it is generally felt that it motivates
employee to put hard work. if employees understand their job well,
their morale increases and there is also a sense of recognition
among the employee that they are the valued members of the
enterprise.
Importance of training to the organization-
1) systematic learning

time to reach the acceptable level of the performance. The
employees need not learn by trial and error or by observing
others and waste if the formal training program exists in theorganization.
2) Better performance

particular job. An increase in skill helps in increase in skillusually helps in increase in both quantity and quality of
output.
3) Recruitment through promotion
When very new skills are required by an organisaaon, it
has to face great difficulties in the selection process.training can be used in spotting out promising men and in
removing defects in the selection process. It is better to
select a train from within the organization rather than seek
the skilled employee from outside sources.
4) Better utilization of machines and material
Machines and materials are handled economically
resulting in the elimination of wastage. It leads to reduction
in cost of production.
5) Economically supervision
If the employee are given proper training ,the responsibility
of supervision is lessened training does not eliminate the
need for supervision, but it reduces the need for detailed
and constant supervision.

performing the work can be standardized and madeavailable to all employee .standardization will make high
levels of performance rule rather than the expectation.

falls considerably.

and grievances among the employees. This increases the
morale of the workers.

METHODS OF TRAININGMETHODS OF TRAINING

over the years by organization and training experts. different
training methods and programs are suitable categories of
personnel in the organization :managerial and non managerial,
technical ,administrative ,skilled ,unskilled, senior ,junior ,and so
on. Each organization has to make choice techniques and program
relevant for its training needs and organizational condition.
The various methods of training may be classified into the
following categories-
(!)Vestibule training
(2) On-the-job training
(3) Of the-training
(!)Vestibule training(!)Vestibule training
The employee are taken through a short under working condition
that are similar to actual shop, sales or office condition. It gets its
name from the resemblance of the school to a vestibule throughwhich one passes before entering the main hall of a house.
Vestibule schools are adapted to the same general type of training
problem that is faced at the actual place of work. An attempt is
22
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
23/101
made to create working condition, which are similar to the actual
work environment.
Vestibule training is suitable where it is not desired to put theburden of training on line supervision and where a special
coaching is required .the staff of the vestibule school consists of
expert and specialist instructors. The trainee avoids confusion and
pressure of the work situation and is thus able to concentrates on
training. Their activities do not interfere with the regular processes
of production. Moreover, trainees get an opportunity to become
accustomed to work routine and recover from their nervousness
before going on to actual jobs.
(2) on the job training2) on the job training
This is considered the most effective methods of training the
operative personnel. Under this method, the worker is trained on
the job and at his work place; .this enables him to get trainingunder the same working condition and with the same processes.
Materials and equipments that he immediate supervisor who knows
exactly what the trainee should learn to do or to some outside
instructor, who is the training specialist in the field .Effective on
the job training depends primarily upon qualified trainers. Without
them, it is simply the old hapzard practice of putting new workerwith old hands who have neither the inclination nor the ability to
teach the newcomers properly.
23
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
24/101
On the job training has main advantage of strongly motivating the
trainee to learn .it permits the trainee to learn at the equipment and
in the environment of the job. On the job, training methods are
relatively cheaper and less time-consuming .moreover, linesupervisor take an important part in training their subordinates.
(3) Off-the job training(3) Off-the job training
As the name implies, off the job training is provided to the
employee away from his job. It is generally theoretical in nature
and is imparted in a classroom type atmosphere. It is generallytheoretical in nature and is imparted in a classroom type
atmosphere. It is associated more with knowledge than with skills
.thus training is used when concepts, theories, problem solving
skills and new attitudes are to be taught.
There are certain aspects of nearly all jobs that can be learnt better
in the classroom than on the job. Orientation about organizationand safety training can be accomplished most effectively in the
classroom. The standard instruction method suitable for operative
employee is a formal lecture by an instructor to the trainees. The
instructor possesses a considerable depth of knowledge of the
subject at hand. He seeks to communicate his thought in such a
manner as to interest the class and cause them to retain what hehas said. The trainees generally take notes as aid to learning.
The above all study gives us a complete essence of what is called as
training.

the target of the trainees. They also need to bring the policies to
add business and to make profit and for that, they are trained.

need some members who can help them and who can enter in themarket directly and can bring business. Therefore, each tsm
makes his team also. The members of his team are known as
advisors who directly enter in the market and bring policyholders
for them. Therefore, the target of the tsm is to make a team,
which is effective and efficient enough to fulfill the above
mentioned goal.
Each stm were supposed to make a team in which
he/she has to recruit at least 30 advisors with in 90
days and each advisor should be capable enough of
42

at least selling two policies in a month. It is not as
easy as it sounds to be.

which all sorts of query, which they asked, were
answered and knowledge of the new tactics of the
market was given.
they need to pass an exam know as ic-33.this is an
objective paper set up which the tsms have to clear

4) The red portion shows how many of the people he meets were
converted into advisors.
Why the trainees need to recruit advisors
The insurance industry is comprised of-
1) Customers
2) Employees
Customers-customers mainly comprise of
a)buyers- one who buys the policies
b) sellers-advisors/agents
Employees-employees are the one to whom the company is paying
for the work it is taking from them.
Here the employees with whom we are concerned are sales
manager. They alone cannot do the work, which they are assigned
57
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
58/101
to do. Therefore, for that they need a team. This can be easily
understood by the given below chart.
Industry mapIndustry map
INDUSTRY
Customers Employee
Sales Manager
(1000 policies)
Buyer (policyholder) seller (advisors) 10000 appointments
50000 calls
58
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
59/101
50000 in 300 days
(300 working days)
1 day 24 hrs
Eight working hrs
50000calls/100 working hrs
500 calls/day
500 calls/8hrs
Team (TSM and advisors) 62 calls /hrs
The above-mentioned chart reveals what a sales manager has to do
to achieve its target. If he needs at least 1000 policies, then he at
least has to fix 10000 appointments. For that, he needs to call
50000 people. As we know, there are about 365 days in year but we
work for near about 300 days after deducting all the holidays. Each
day we work for at least eight working hour. So in all in one year
we work for 100 hours. Now in hundred hours a sales manager has
to make 50000 calls. In addition, in a day near about 500.and so in
an hour 62 calls. A hard nut to crack is not it. One cannot alone do
this he needs some one to help him to achieve a target this is done
by advisors that is why a SM needs advisors.
2) Of the job training
Of the job, training was being given to the advisors. Any one in themarket cannot bring business. One who is having necessary skills
and talent can only be capable of prove himself in the market. For
that, one needs to be trained. The advisors are not the employee of
59
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
60/101
the company. They are the customers or sellers who work as
agents. They also need to be trained.
To become an advisor one has to go through a long process of
training as well as licensing after which only they become alicensed advisor.
Licensing process of the advisors
1) Firstly the SM has to help a person to make him under stand
that how he will be benefited if he will become an advisor. Then
only one can be converted into effective advisors from the crowd.
However, this is really not very easy. As to make one understandthat he will be benefited though he will not be played by the
company.
For this there is an IC recruitment model. This model is as follows-

Above is IC recruitment model by the help of a recruitment plan to
recruit an advisor can be made. This gives the way by which a sales
manager can approach a person and can motivate a person to
become an advisor of the company.
2) After a person makes his mind to become an advisor he has to
undergo some training procedures. Earlier this training for advisor
was manual by now reliance life insurance has made this easier by
converting this training programme to an on-line training process.
67

What is an online training process?What is an online training process?
As we know a person takes birth with some inner talent and
qualities. However, to take these qualities out and polish them so
that he/she can use them in the right direction is must. This can be
only done by an effective training process.
Earlier to mentor and train the advisor the company was using anoff-line training process, in which each person was trained
manually under the guidance of his mentor but the advisors were
facing many problems from that.
Why offline training process was not effective
1) It was very difficult for each advisor to be their in the classes
regularly at a particular time.
2) Off-line process was also not very cost effective.
3) Off-line training process was also not very time efficient.
Above all problems lead to develop a process, which should
overcome the above problems and should be helpful for the
advisors. Then comes the on-line training process.
68
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
69/101
Online line process is basically a step by step procedures under
which an advisor will undergo a 50 hours on line training and after
which he will get a training completion certificate(TCC) and then
he /she becomes eligible to appear for the IC33 exam which he has
to pass to become a licensed advisor. This training is mandatory for
each advisor.

o The projects like project -440 were easy to apply and can
be used practically.
o The strategies of the trainers to mould their training
process just to make it easy for the trainees were the most
attractive feature.
o One can easily learn that the gap between training and
learning can only be mend by taking a feedback from the
trainees after the training sessions
o Regular evaluation of the performance always helps to
make the learning more effective.
o Motivation is the key to success for any trainer as when
he/she motivates his/her trainee then only the trainee will
be able to learn more and more.
88
8/9/2019 Sachan Reliance
89/101
SUGGESTIONSUGGESTION
The training methods used should not only sound
good but also they should have practicality in them.
The trainers should sometime adopt paternalistic
approach
The projects should be easy to understand and apply.
The training procedures should be made keeping in
mind that it should be suitable for all as all come
from different educational background.
if the company is using an online training process
for training the advisors then this should be kept in
the mind that whether all the facilities needed for
that are available in the area or not.

LEARNINGLEARNING
Whenever you go somewhere you should always have in mind that
I will take something good after going back from there, i.e. I will
try my best to learn some thing .learning is an ongoing process. It
is a never-ending journey. One cannot say that now I need not to
learn any thing, as I am perfect.
When ever a child takes birth he/she first learn to say few words
like MA .when he grows he learn to walk by holding the hands of
his parents, after that he learns how to talk. When he goes to
school he learns many lessons from either his notebooks or his
surrounding. After studies when he gets the job he learns how to
work. When he gets married he learns how to manage himself.
Thus in his full life term he keeps on learning things. Learning
only stops with the death of ones mind. So today if you are sayingthat I have learned what I was supposed to learn that means your
mind has died because a living mind always wants to learn.

In this period, I learned that what guts an efficient
trainer should have so that he will be able to train his
trainees.
What the trainer should have
Ability to influence people
Ability to always learn something new
Ability to listen others
Manipulative
Should sometime adopt paternalistic approach
The projects, which the company was using, have
taught me that how one can make others learn in the
simplest way.
The lively examples while training period in the
company has given name lots of practical experience

LIMITATIONSLIMITATIONS
While learning any thing new there are some limitations and this
project is no exception.
Limitations while making projects
1. sometime problems were faced while collecting data
2. as it was the first time experience of learning while working
so it takes time to adjust
Limitation of time
Time availability was one of the biggest limitations face due to
shortage of time we had to limit the work in its present form
Other limitations
1. Since we did not have any previous experience so it may have
led to discrepancies in the report
2. As the environment was very new to me so it takes some time
to become friendly with that

EXPERIENCEEXPERIENCE
This project has helped us to have a direct interaction with the
external environment, which includes customers, suppliers,
buyers, government policies etc.and it has given an excellent
opportunity to have an experience of a corporate scenario.
Earlier I was thinking it as a hard nut to crack. However, laterwhen I actually worked there then I felt that it was like a perfect
example of practical study for a management student.
Our respected chairman sir DR.D.K.GARG has given us this
golden opportunity and I am very thankful to him. I got lot of
practical experience while doing the summer training as I gotan exposure of what actually happens in a corporate world.
Beat the iron when it is red hot

ConclusionConclusion
I have received following while working as a summer trainee in
reliance life insurance in accordance with the objective.
Insurance sector is a booming sector in todays scenario. It is
adding a major part to our Indian economy. So one can think
himself lucky if he/she get a chance while working within this
sector.
As I got the golden opportunity working with the training
department, I got to learn what actually training means in the
corporate world. I worked on the project SM mentoring in 90 days.
In this, I learned how to train, mentor and enhance the skills and
talents of the trainees.
The conclusion what I draw is that training is an important tool for
learning and training department is the only, by which we can get
it. Training department is like the blood in the veins of the
company, which helps to develop the work force working there to
attain a maintainable position in the society
It is difficult to fish in troubled water but we should take
up the gauntlet.
