    PREFACE:-

    Theory and practice are the two aspects of management education. In order to produce a dynamic

    and promising executive, the two have to be blended together. In India, the industrial training in

    the domain of management courses has received pivotal importance. It exposes the potential

    manager to the actual work environment and provides them a rich insight into what actually goes

    on in the industrial climate of India. Infact it is the implementation of theory in practice is the life

    force of management.

    A seven week vocational training is a requirement for the award of the Master Degree in

    Business Administration. I had the privilege of doing my summer training at KARAM Industries

    (Rudrapur), I must say that the management provided me with an excellent work atmosphere for

    learning.

    The project I worked on during my training at KARAM Industries was

    Advanced Learners Dictionary

    OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH:-

    1- The purpose of research is to discover answer to questions through the application of

    scientific procedure. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden andwhich has not been discovered as yet.

    2- To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group(studies with this object in view are known as descriptive research studies);

    3- To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated

    with something else ( studies with this object in view are known as diagnostic researchstudies );

    4- To test a hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables (such studies are known ashypothesis testing research studies).

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-

    Research methodology refers to the various sequential steps (along with a rationale, of each such

    step to adopt by a researcher in studying a problem with certain object or objectives in view. It

    would be appropriate to mention that research projects are not susceptible to any one complete

    and inflexible sequence of steps and type of problems to be studied will determine the particular

    steps to be taken and their order too. However, the following steps provide useful procedural

    guidelines so far research methodology is concerned;

    1- Tentative selection of the problem (i.e. topic of research )

    2- Initial survey of literature.

    3- Defining or selecting the research problem.

    4- Specification of the information required.

    5- Design of the research project.

    6- Sample design.

    7- Collection of data or construction of questionnaire.

    8- Execution of the project.

    9- Analysis of data

    10- Arriving at generalization; and

    11- Preparation of the report.

    DATA COLLECTION:-

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    11/72

    When research problem has been defined or research plan has been chalked out, the task of data

    collection begins.

    There are two types of data-

    1- PRIMARY DATA

    2- SECONDARY DATA

    PRIMARY DATA:

    Primary data are those which are collected fresh and for the first time and original in character.

    METHODS OF COLLECTING PRIMARY DATA:-

    1- OBSERVATION METHOD

    2- INRTVIEW METHOD3- QUESTIONNAIRE

    4- SCHEDULES

    SECONDARY DATA:-

    Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone and this data has

    already been passed through a statistical process.

    COLLECTION OF SECONDARY DATA:-

    Secondary data means that are already available i.e., they refer to the data which have already

    been collected and analyzed by someone else. When the researcher utilizes secondary data, thenhe has to look into various sources from where he can obtain them. In this case he is certainly not

    confronted with the problems that are usually associated with the collection of original data.

    Secondary data may either be published data or unpublished data. Usually published data areavailable in:

    Various publications of the control state are local government.

    Various publications of foreign government or of international bodies and theirSubsidiary organization.

    Technical and trade journals, books, magazines and newspapers.

    Reports prepared by research scholars, unadvertised, economists etc in differentfields.

    Public record and statistics, historical document, and other sources of publishedinformation. The sources of unpublished data are many; they may be found in diaries,

    letter, published biographies and autobiographies and also may be available with

    INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC:-

    TRAINING:-

    Employee training is a specialized function and is one of the fundamental operative functions of

    Human Resource Management.

    Acc to FLIPPO,

    Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular

    job.

    It is a short-term educational process and utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by

    which employees learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose.

    Training refers to the organizations efforts to improve an individuals ability to perform a job or

    organizational role. It can be defined as a learning experience in which it seeks a relative

    permanent change in an individual that would improve his ability to perform the job.

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRAINING AND

    DEVELOPMENT:-

    Training and development go hand in hand and are often used synonymously but there is a

    difference between them. Training is the process of learning a sequence of programmed

    behavior. It is an application 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.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    18/72

    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 become

    not only good employees but better human beings.

    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 of

    training depends on motivation.

    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 behaviors 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.

    INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES

    Individual training is costly. Group training is advantageous to the organization. Individuals vary

    in intelligence and aptitude from person to person. Training must be geared to the intelligence

    and aptitude of individual trainee.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    19/72

    OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING:-

    TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

    An instructor can help employees increase their level of performance on their assignment.

    Increase in human performance leads to increase in the operational productivity and also the

    increase in the profit of the company.

    TO IMPROVE QUALITY

    Better-trained workers are less likely to make operational mistakes. It can be in relationship

    to the company or in reference to the intangible organizational employment atmosphere.

    TO HELP A COMPANY FULFILL ITS FUTURE PERSONNEL

    NEEDS

    The organizations having good internal training and development programmes will have to

    make less changes and adjustments. When the need arises, vacancies can be easily staffed.

    TO IMPROVE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE

    An endless chain of positive reactions result from a well planned training programme.

    TO IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY

    Proper training can prevent industrial accidents. A safer atmosphere leads to more stable

    attitudes on part of the employees.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    20/72

    OBSOLESCENCE PREVENTION

    Training and development programmes foster the initiative and creativity of employees and

    can help prevent manpower obsolescence.

    PERSONAL GROWTH

    Employees on a personal basis gain individually from their exposure to educational

    expressions. Training programmes give them wider awareness and skills.

    NEED FOR TRAINING:-

    To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for definite tasks.

    To assist employees to function more effectively in their present positions by exposing

    them to new concepts.

    To build a line of competent people and prepare them to occupy more responsible

    positions.

    To reduce the supervision time, wastage and spoilage of new material.

    To reduce the defects and minimize the industrial accidents.

    To ensure the economical output of the required quality.

    To prevent obsolescence.

    To promote individual and collective morale, responsibility and cooperative attitudes

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    21/72

    TYPES OF TRAINING:-

    Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly training programmes may be of the

    following types:

    Orientation training: Induction or orientation training seeks to adjust newly appointed

    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

    organization. Induction training creates self-confidence in the employees. It is also knows as

    pre-job training. It is brief and informative.

    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

    accidents, waste and inefficiency in the performance of the job.

    Safety training: Training provided to minimize accidents and damage to machinery is

    known as safety training. It involves instruction in the use of safety devices and in safety

    consciousness.

    Promotional training: It involves training of existing employees to enable them to performhigher-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 responsibilities of

    the new positions to which they are promoted.

    Refresher training: When existing techniques become obsolete due to the development of

    better techniques, employees have to be trained in the use of new methods and techniques.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    22/72

    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 account of

    rapid changes in technology and work methods. Refresher or re-training programmes are

    conducted to avoid obsolescence of knowledge and skills.

    METHODS OF TRAINING :-

    Fig - 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 the

    methods are as:

    Job Rotation: It is also referred to as cross straining. It involves placing an employee on

    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.

    METHODS OF

    TRAINING

    ON- THE- JOB

    METHODS

    OFF- THE- JOB

    METHODS

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    25/72

    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 competence in general management decision-

    making skills.

    Enlarged and enriched job responsibilities: By giving an employee added job duties, and

    increasing the autonomy and responsibilities associated with the job, the firm allows an

    employee to learn a lot about the job, department and organization.

    Job instruction training: 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 follow up.

    Coaching: The trainee is placed under a particular supervisor who functions as a coach in

    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 not have the freedom or opportunity to express his

    own ideas.

    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 team work and group cohesiveness feelings amongst the

    trainees.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    26/72

    OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING:-

    It includes anything performed away from the employees job area or immediate work area. Two

    broad categories of it are:

    IN HOUSE PROGRAMMES

    These are conducted within the organizations own training facility; either by training specialists

    from HR department or by external consultant or a combination of both.

    OFF-SITE PROGRAMMES

    It is held elsewhere and sponsored by an educational institution, a professional association, agovernment agency or an independent training and development firm.

    The various off- the- job-training programmes are as follows:

    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 practice in this method.

    Role-playing: It is defined as a method of human

    interaction that involves realistic behavior in imaginary situations. This method involves

    action doing and practice. The participants play 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.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    27/72

    Conference or discussion: It is a method in training the

    clerical, professional and 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 carefullyplanned 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

    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.

    EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS:-

    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.

    STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS

    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.

    LONG- RANGE PLANS

    Here the management prepares long-term training and development plans for their executives,

    which include the annual training targets, the annual budgets and the specific area of training.

    SHORT- TERM PROGRAMME

    This programme specify the duration, starting time, ending time, number of executives being

    trained, identify the resources etc.

    IMPLEMENTATION

    The training programme envisaged before is put into operation. The actual training is initiated by

    proper timetable and other arrangements.

    EVALUATION

    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 are

    various criteria of measuring effectiveness such as validity, reliability etc.

    EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING:-

    An Investor in People evaluates the investment in training and development to assess

    achievement and improve future effectiveness. Kearns (1994) suggests that there are four groups

    of measures of training effectiveness, which are used by organization. The groups are as

    follows:

    - No Measurement

    - Subjective Measures

    - Qualitative Measures

    - Objective Measures

    The first group, in which no real measurement occurs, includes activities undertaken as an Act

    of Faith, where no form of measurement is attempted, such as initiatives to improve

    communications in organization, which seem to make people feel good and appear to have

    worked in some intangible manner.

    The second group includes subjective responses from trainees/course delegates, as 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 be more objective than the previous group, but are often flawed by

    subjectivity as well. They are typified by 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

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    30/72

    times past, that training somehow justifies itself, because it is all about developing people.

    However, it is incumbent on organizations to look critically at the ways in which they evaluate

    their training activities, lest they fall prey to the subject approach and are badly caught out when

    a rigorous analysis of all the functions of the organizations business is called for. A desirable, if

    not essential, characteristic of all training programmes is a built-in provision for evaluation. The

    four main dimensions of evaluation are:

    EVALUATION OF CONTEXTUAL FACTORS

    Training effectiveness depends not only on what happens during training, but also on what

    happens before the actual training and what happens after the training has formally ended.

    Evaluation should, therefore, be done of both the pre-training and post-training work. Pre-

    training work includes proper identification of training needs, developing criteria of who should

    be sent for training, how many at a time and in what sequence, helping people to volunteer for

    training, building expectations of prospective participants from training etc. Post- training work

    includes helping the concerned managers to plan to utilize the participants training, and provide

    the needed support to them, building linkages between the training section and the line

    departments and so on.

    EVALUATION OF TRAINING INPUTSThis involves the evaluation of the training curriculum and its sequencing.

    EVALUATION OF THE TRAINING PROCESS

    The climate of the training organization, the relationship between participants and trainers, the

    general attitude, and approaches of the trainers, training methods, etc are some of the important

    elements of the training process which also needs to be evaluated.

    EVALUATION OF TRAINING OUTCOMES

    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 a complex technical and

    professional task. Benefits of a training programme are not obvious and

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    31/72

    They are not readily measurable. Payoffs from training are intangible and rather slow to become

    apparent. A central problem is the absence of objective criteria and specific definitions of

    relevant variables by which to measure the effectiveness either of specific programmes or

    changes in employee behavior. Nevertheless, the good personnel managers do make an effort to

    systematically appraise the benefits and results of their programmes.

    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.

    MANAGEMENT STAFF

    The Performance Appraisal form of the organization has a section in which the training and

    development needs are filed up. The person whom the concerned employee is reporting fills thePerformance Appraisal form annually. Such person may be a branch head or department head.

    Identification of training need is done at the Executive Office (EO) level for the managers

    through the Performance Appraisal forms annually and the records are maintained at the

    Executive Office. Managers are nominated for the various training courses by the Executives

    Office. Managers may also be nominated to certain training programmes from the branch if the

    subjects covered are found to be of interest or if they offer a learning opportunity in some

    emerging areas of knowledge.

    Training needs for the department through their Performance Appraisal forms identifies the

    officers, which are filled in by the department head. The Performance Appraisal forms thus give

    the emerging training needs. This exercise is carried out annually.

    STAFF AND WORKERS

    Training needs for staff and workers are identified based on:

    - Companys strategy and policy.

    - Organizational Thrust Areas.

    - New Emerging Areas.

    This together gives the consolidated system of needs that is prepared by the Personnel Officer

    and approved by the Department Head.

    PREPARATION OF TRAINING PLAN:-

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    36/72

    On the basis of identified training needs, the annual training calendar is prepared by the

    Personnel officer and approved by the Personnel Head. Annual Training Budget is prepared by

    Branch Personnel Head and is approved by Executive Office. This gives the final list of trainingactivities in a particular year. It is attempted to carry out all the programmes to fulfill the

    identified needs. The Head of the Personnel Department monitors the actual training conducted

    vis--vis the identified training needs on a monthly basis.

    IMPARTING OF TRAINING

    Actual training is imparted with the help of in-house and outside agencies. The selection of these

    agencies is done on the basis of reputation; programmes offered by them, past experience and

    feedback received from the earlier participants.

    Training is also imparted by nominating the concerned employee for an external training

    programme. All records of the training are maintained at branch 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.

    INDUCTION TRAINING:-

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    37/72

    STAFF/ OFFICERS/ MANAGERS

    This is carried out as the very first step for any new entrant into the branch at the Staff/ Officer/

    Manager level. The department prepares a schedule for the employee as per which he is requiredto spend specific time in each department. During such period, he is reporting to the respective

    department head. The objective of the induction programme is to familiarize the participant to

    the function of different department. The copies of the same are sent to the General Manager and

    all concerned. At the end of the induction, the trainee has to submit a report to the Personnel

    Department.

    WORKERS

    In the case of a new entrant, he is called in General shift for 2 days for training under a senior

    worker to familiarize him with the welfare facilities like card punching, canteen, public

    conveniences, rules and regulations, standing orders, shift timings, spell outs, medical facilities,

    leave procedures etc. After two days of training, he is deployed in the concerned department. The

    Personnel Officer organizes this.

    MANAGEMENT TRAINEES TRAINING

    Management trainees are given a fortnight of induction programme. Corporate HR advises it as

    per Management Trainee Training programme designed by them. Thereafter, a detailed training

    programme is carried out whereby the incumbent is to understand in depth of working of each

    department at various locations as per the programme given by the Corporate HR. Corporate HR

    maintains all relevant records pertaining to Management Trainees training at Bangalore.

    TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    38/72

    For each training programme conducted in-house for MUSCO Lalpur branch personnel, a

    training brochure is developed. The brochure developed consists of the following information:

    - Programme objectives: Need of the training and what are the objectives that this training

    aims to achieve, what likely outcomes are expected to come out of impact of this training.

    - Programme content: Topics being covered during the training.

    - Methodology adopted.

    - Programme faculty.

    - Personnel to be covered.

    - Training methodology.

    - Training effectiveness criteria and scale.

    The training effectiveness is measured by measurement of the achievement of the objectives.

    This lists down the measurement indicators, achievement of which will ensure that programme

    objectives are achieved.

    A person gets nominated for the training programme in the following two ways:

    a) Training programme flowing from the training needs.

    b) Training programme for testing out the training/ increased awareness/ general

    information/ omnibus training types etc.

  • 8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

    39/72

    TRAINING PROGRAMMES FLOWING FROM

    TRAINING NEEDS:-

    The programmes are divided into three broad categories:

    - Functional

    - Behavioral

    - General/ Omnibus programmes

    1. Functional: The outcome of the training is measured by comparing the data pre-training

    and post-training. A scale is developed for measuring the effectiveness of training based on

    the % achievement of the objectives.

    2. Behavioral: The effectiveness of the training of this nature is measured annually. This is

    seen through the training need identification for the coming year for the employee. If the

    training need is repeated there, then the training provided is taken as

    3. Ineffective. If the training need is repeated but with focus on a part of the need, then the

    training is partially effective. If not repeated, then the training is effective.

    4. General: These are the training needs flowing directly from the organizational needs.

    Examples of these can be ISO 9000 training, ISO 14000 training and any awareness training.

    These are omnibus training programmes, which are run for a large number of employees.

    The effectiveness of the training is measured by:

    - Achievement of those organizational objectives within the time lines.

    - Number of audit issues raised on the areas covered in the training.

    - Any other such thing as defined in the training brochure.

    The effectiveness of the outside training programme is measured on the same line as above.

    However, no detailed brochure is prepared for the same. The measurement criterion for the

    programmer is defined in the beginning of the programme and effectiveness measured against

    the same.

    A consolidated effectiveness report of the training programme is prepared at the end of the year.

    The programmes that are found to be ineffective are reworked.

    Also there are training programmes, which are not flowing directly from the training needs

    RECOMMENDATIONS :-

    Based on the data collected through the questionnaire and interactions with the Officers and

    Workers ofKARAM Industries the following recommendations are made for consideration:

    The organization may utilize both subjective and objective approach for the training

    programmes.

    The organization may consider deputing each employee to attend at least one training

    programmes each year.

    The In-house training programmes will be beneficial to the organization as well as

    employees since it will help employees to attend their official work while undergoing the

    training. The organization can also arrange part time training programmes in the office premises for

    short durations, spanning over a few days, in order to avoid any interruption in the routine

    work.

    The organization can arrange the training programmes department wise in order to give

    focused attention towards the departmental requirements.
