    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures

    that randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in

    structured format.

    TRADITIONAL AND MODERN APPROACH OF TRAINING AND DEVLOPMENT

    Traditional Approach Most of the organizations before never used to believe in

    training. They were holding the traditional view that managers are 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.

    The 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

    Training is an educational process. People can learn new information, re-learn

    and reinforce existing knowledge and skills, and most importantly have time to

    think and consider what new options can help them improve their effectiveness at

    work. Effective trainings convey relevant and useful information that inform

    participants and develop skills and behaviors that can be transferred back to the

    workplace.

    The goal of training is to create an impact that lasts beyond the end time of the

    training itself. The focus is on creating specific action steps and commitments

    that focus peoples attention on incorporating their new skills and ideas back atwork.

    Training can be offered as skill development for individuals and groups. In

    general, trainings involve presentation and learning of content as a means for

    enhancing skill development and improving workplace behaviors.

    Organizational Development is a process that strives to build the capacity to

    achieve and sustain a new desired state that benefits the organization or

    community and the world around them. (from the Organizational Development

    Network website) OD work implies creating and sustaining change.

    An OD perspective examines the current environment, the present state, and

    helps people on a team, in a department and as part of an institution identify

    effective strategies for improving performance. In some situations, there may not

    be anything wrong at the present time; the group or manager may simply be

    seeking ways to continue to develop and enhance existing relationships and

    performance. In other situations, there may be an identifiable issue or problem

    that needs to be addressed; the OD process aims to find ideas and solutions that

    can effectively return the group to a state of high performance.

    These two processes, Training and Organizational Development, are often

    closely connected. Training can be used as a proactive means for developing

    skills and expertise to prevent problems from arising and can also be an effective

    tool in addressing any skills or performance gaps among staff. Organizational

    Development can be used to create solutions to workplace issues, before they

    become a concern or after they become identifiable problem.

    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

    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.

    Individual Objectives help employees in achieving their personal goals, 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 departments contribution at a level suitable

    to the organizations needs.

    Societal Objectives ensure that an organization is ethically and socially

    responsible to the needs and challenges of the society.

    Human Resource Management, training and development is the field which is

    concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals

    and groups inorganizationalsettings. It has been known by several names,

    including human resource development, and learning and development.[1]

    Harrison observes that the name was endlessly debated by theChartered Institute of

    Personnel and Developmentduring its review of professional standards in 1999/2000.

    "Employee Development" was seen as too evocative of the master-slave relationship

    between employer and employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners" or

    "associates" to be comfortable with. "Human Resource Development" was rejected by

    academics, who objected to the idea that people were "resources" &m dash; an idea

    that they felt to be demeaning to the individual. Eventually, the CIPD settled upon

    "Learning and Development", although that was itself not free from problems, "learning"

    being an overgeneral and ambiguous name. Moreover, the field is still widely known by

    the other names.[1]

    Training and development (T&D) encompasses three main activities: training,

    education, and development. Garavan, Costine, and Heraty, of theIrish Institute of

    Training and Development, note that these ideas are often considered to be

    synonymous. However, to practitioners, they encompass three separate, although

    interrelated, activities:[1][2][3]

    Training: This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an

    individual currently holds.[3]

    Education: This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold

    in the future, and is evaluated against those jobs.[3]

    Development: This activity focuses upon the activities that the organization

    employing the individual, or that the individual is part of, may partake in the future,

    and is almost impossible to evaluate.[3]

    The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes.

    The sponsors of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training

    and development are business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching,

    resources, and performance. The participants are those who actually undergo the

    processes. The facilitators are Human Resource Management staff. And

    the providers are specialists in the field. Each of these groups has its own agenda and

    motivations, which sometimes conflict with the agendas and motivations of the others.[4]

    The conflicts that are the best part of career consequences are those that take place

    between employees and their bosses. The number one reason people leave their jobs

    is conflict with their bosses. And yet, as author, workplace relationship authority, and

    executive coach, Dr. John Hoover[5]points out, "Tempting as it is, nobody ever

    enhanced his or her career by making the boss look stupid."[1]Training an employee to

    get along well with authority and with people who entertain diverse points of view is one

    of the best guarantees of long-term success. Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't

    compensate for a sour relationship with a superior, peer, or customer.

    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that

    randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in structured

    format.

    better attitudes, and other aspects that successful workers and managers usually

    display.

    Training And Development

    Human Resource Management (HRM), a relatively new term, that emerged during the

    1930s. Many people used to refer it before by its traditional titles, such as Personnel

    Administration or Personnel Management. But now, the trend is changing. It is now

    termed as Human Resource Management (HRM). Human Resource Management is a

    management function that helps an organization select, recruit, train and develops.

    4.1 TRAINING PROCESS

    Training focuses on learning the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to initially

    perform a job or task or to improve upon the performance of a current job or task, while

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    9/35

    development activities are not job related, but concentrate on broadening the

    employee's horizons.

    INTRODUCTION OF TRAINING NEED IDENTIFICATION

    Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational courses or

    activities should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Here the

    focus should be placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a

    constructive outcome. In order to emphasize the importance of training need

    identification we can focus on the following areas: -

    To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line.

    To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his

    or her job performance.

    To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring

    about a match between individual aspirations and organizational goals.

    Identification of training needs (TNI), if done properly, provides the basis on which all

    other training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it

    is a process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is

    important to them, and the reputation of the organization is also at stake.

    Identification of training needs is important from both the organizational point of view as

    well as from an individual's point of view. From an organizations point of view it is

    important because an organization has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit

    of all stakeholders or members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers,

    and neighbours. These objectives can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities

    of its people, releasing potential and maximizing opportunities for development.

    Therefore people must know what they need to learn in order to achieve organizational

    goals. Similarly if seen from an individual's point of view, people have aspirations, they

    want to develop and in order to learn and use new abilities, and people need

    appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions. Therefore, to meet people's

    aspirations, the organization must provide effective and attractive learning resources

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    11/35

    and conditions. And it is also important to see that there is a suitable match between

    achieving organizational goals and providing attractive learning opportunities

    DIFFERENT LEVELS AT WHICH TRAINING NEEDS ARE IDENTIFIED

    Identification of training needs can be done at three levels to ascertain three kinds of

    needs: -

    Organizational Needs

    These concern the performance of the organization as a whole. Here identification of

    training needs is done to find out whether the organization is meeting its current

    performance standards and objectives and if not, exploring ways in which training or

    learning might help it to do so. Sometimes organizational training needs are also

    identified when the organization decides that it has to adopt a major new strategy,

    create a new product or service, undergo a large-scale change program, or develop

    significant new relationships, such as joining with others to form new partnerships.

    Fig. 4.2: Type of Needs

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    12/35

    Group Needs

    Since working in groups and teams have become very much prevalent in today's

    corporate world that is why nowadays there is increased emphasis given on team

    effectiveness and team performance. Therefore training needs are nowadays even

    identified at the group level. Training needs here are concerned basically with the

    performance of a particular group, which may be a team, department, function, sub-unit,

    or so on. Information about the performance of the group may identify areas of training

    need - which, again, may be further utilized for training or other interventions. It is used

    to find out how efficiently a particular team or group goes about its business and meets

    its current objectives.

    Individual Needs

    These concern the performance of one or more individuals (as individuals, rather than

    as members of a group). Here identification of training needs is about finding out to

    what extent individuals need to learn or be trained in order to bring their current

    performance up to the required level as a result of changes in methods and processes

    that call for new competencies and skills.

    It also sees to it that there is continuous improvement initiative taken by them. Moreover

    it also helps to find out whether individuals are comfortable in working across

    boundaries, with people from different backgrounds and different perspectives. This is

    especially important because there is so much work force diversity observed today in

    organizations that it has become impossible to retain workforce, which is not flexible

    enough to accommodate such changes into their daily work schedule.

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    13/35

    SOURCES FOR IDENTIFYING TRAINING NEEDS

    There are three sources for identifying training needs. Although they are independent

    sources for gathering the necessary data but it is usually beneficial if they are

    considered complementary to one another as the objective of the exercise is to prepare

    as consolidated data of training needs as possible. The three sources are as follows: -

    Job Profile

    It is a comprehensive description of all the functions and the responsibilities that a

    person has to carry out in due course of his job. It is very common for us sometimes to

    find that people of a particular department more or less perform the same kind of job

    and therefore a comparative study can be done on their performance to pinpoint on the

    training needs of those people who have not performed up to the mark. In here we can

    also include Job analysis in order to have a realistic and systematic appraisal of training

    needs. In order to do this first we need to break up the functions and responsibilities into

    categories. Next we have to classify these tasks/activities on the basis of their relative

    importance to the nature of the job. And lastly we can compute a priority listing of these

    tasks in order to have a catalogue of knowledge, skills and attitudes required for

    effective performance of the job.

    Fig. 4.3: Job Analysis Matrix

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    14/35

    Experiences of the training agency

    It is very common for organizations nowadays to hire professional training agencies in

    order to look into the training matters. The training agency and the trainers thus should

    also draw from their own experiences of organizing programs for comparable groups or

    in similar areas. However, earlier experiences can only serve to facilitate the process. It

    cannot be the sole basis, as training needs of majority of organizations are very specific.

    At ThyssenKrupp this method is used in a modified way, the training agency named

    SIBM along with the top management of the organization identify the training needs and

    decide the training modules for the employees of all levels.

    Pre-training survey of the participant's needs

    This is suggested as the best way to conduct a training need identification .A pre-

    training survey is nothing but a survey of the needs and expectations of the participants

    well in advance of the program. And in this exercise it is better to include the superiors

    also as they are in a good position to provide necessary data on the training needs of

    their subordinates, especially in context of their performance. This is generally done in a

    systematic manner with the help of a structured questionnaire in order to reflect thegenuine desire to involve the participants and the organization in the planning process.

    However it might happen in certain cases that it is not possible to actively involve the

    superiors due to various reasons like lack of time etc but in that case at least they must

    be kept fully informed of the proceedings.

    In this project, Pre-training survey method is used to identifying the training needs of the

    employees.

    4.3 EVALUATION OF TRAINING PROGRAM

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    15/35

    INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF EVALUATION OF TRAINING PROGRAM:

    The process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Training

    evaluation checks whether training program has had the desired effect. Training

    evaluation ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their

    respective workplace, or to the regular work routines.

    Purpose of Evaluation

    Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives and

    linking it to learning outcomes.

    Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge,transfer of knowledge at the work place, and training.

    Control: It helps in controlling the training program because if the training is not

    effective, then it can be dealt with accordingly.

    Power games: At times, the top management (higher authoritative employee) uses the

    evaluative data to manipulate it for their own benefits.

    Intervention: It helps in determining that whether the actual outcomes are aligned with

    the expected outcomes.

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    16/35

    METHODS OF TRAINING EVALUATION:

    As Organization spend a large amount of their time and resources in the training and

    development of their employees, it is important to evaluate these programs for their

    effectiveness.

    Cost-Benefit Analysis:

    A Cost- benefit analysis helps in analyzing and evaluating any development

    efforts. A Cost-benefit analysis measures the benefits from the development

    program, against the monetary costs of development. These costs include the

    costs of materials, supplies, lost work time, travel expenses, consultant fees, and

    the like. Though it is easy to calculate the monetary costs it is difficult to translate

    the benefits into economic terms. For example, an improvement in an individuals

    Leadership skills cannot be measured in monetary terms. Though the cost

    benefit analysis sounds appealing, it may not always be practically useful.

    Gap Analysis:

    Another strategy to evaluate development efforts is to measure the extent to

    which the objectives of the program are met. Identifying the gap between the

    actual and desired level of performance helps in measuring the level of success

    of the development program. However this strategy depends on the quality of the

    objectives set.

    Kirkpatrick Model:

    In the late 1950s D.L Kirkpatrick developed a model for evaluating workplace

    education programs. Kirkpatricks system has four levels of evaluation. He

    proposed applying each level of evaluation to a program, which includes the

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    17/35

    participants reaction, participants learning, change in participants behavior and

    impact of the program on the organizational effectiveness.

    KIRKPATRICKS MODEL IN BRIEF

    ASSESSING TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS often entails using the four-level model

    developed by Donald Kirkpatrick (1994). According to this model, evaluation should

    always begin with level one, and then, as time and budget allows, should move

    sequentially through levels two, three, and four. Information from each prior level serves

    as a base for the next level's evaluation. Thus, each successive level represents a more

    precise measure of the effectiveness of the training program, but at the same time

    requires a more rigorous and time-consuming analysis.

    Fig. 4.5: Kirkpatrick's Four-Level Model

    Level 1 - Reactions

    Just as the word implies, evaluation at this level measures how participants in a training

    program react to it. It attempts to answer questions regarding the participants'

    perceptions - Did they like it? Was the material relevant to their work? This type of

    evaluation is often called a smile sheet. According to Kirkpatrick, every program

    should at least be evaluated at this level to provide for the improvement of a training

    program. In addition, the participants' reactions have important consequences for

    learning (level two). Although a positive reaction does not guarantee learning, a

    negative reaction almost certainly reduces its possibility.

  • 7/30/2019 teaining

    18/35

    Level 2 - Learning

    Assessing at this level moves the evaluation beyond learner satisfaction and attempts to

    assess the extent students have advanced in skills, knowledge, or attitude.

    Measurement at this level is more difficult and laborious than level one. Methods range

    from formal to informal testing to team assessment and self-assessment. If possible,

    participants take the test or assessment before the training (pretest) and after training

    (post test) to determine the amount of learning that has occurred.

    Level 3 - Transfer

    This level measures the transfer that has occurred in learners' behavior due to the

    training program. Evaluating at this level attempts to answer the question - Are the

    newly acquired skills, knowledge, or attitude being used in the everyday environment of

    the learner? For many trainers this level represents the true assessment of a program's

    effectiveness. However, measuring at this level is difficult as it is often impossible to

    predict when the change in behavior will occur, and thus requires important decisions in

    terms of when to evaluate, how often to evaluate, and how to evaluate.

    Level 4 - Results

    Frequently thought of as the bottom line, this level measures the success of the

    program in terms that managers and executives can understand -increased production,

    improved quality, decreased costs, reduced frequency of accidents, increased sales,

    and even higher profits or return on investment. From a business and organizational

    perspective, this is the overall reason for a training program, yet level four results are

    not typically addressed. Determining results in financial terms is difficult to measure,

    and is hard to link directly with training.

    4.4 BENEFITS OF TRAINING NEEDS IDENTIFICATION & TRAINING

    EVALUATION

    Benefits of Training Need Identification and Training Evaluation are:

    The organization is informed about the broader needs of the participants.

    Through this process it may be possible that certain new training programs,

    which were, previously not in their list may come to the forefront.

    The organization is able to reduce the perception gap between the participant

    and his/her boss about their needs and expectations from the training program.

    The organization is also able to pitch its course input closer to the specific needs

    of the participants. Find out if the learning is being applied at the workplace.

    Ensure training improves continuously.

    Track the development of staff knowledge and skills.

    It also saves a lot of money for the organization as otherwise money is just

    unnecessarily wasted on those training programs, which are either not needed by

    the employees or they have no interest in undertaking them.

    Lastly, time, which is the most important resource today, is also saved, as the

    training programs conducted are the ones, which are actually needed by the

    participants.
