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
Mr. Abhishek Saxena motivated me to undertaken this topic for my project report.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
Education and training are the element of learning process. Education is the process of increasing
the general knowledge and to develop overall understanding and mental capabilities. It is
theoretical consisting of concept and aimed at simulating and analytical & creative facilities of
an individual.
Training is the process of imparting knowledge and skill for doing a specific job. Training is
more specific and job oriented. As an organized activity, training is designed to create a change
in thinking and behavior of an individual.
As a management student of M.B.A. have across various subjects. However, that was only the
theoretical awareness of the organisation. In order to know the practical implementations of
different subjects in an organisation. I have undergone a summer training program for six weeks
in KARAM Industries Rudrapur.

MEANING OF RESEARCH:-
Systematized efforts to gain new knowledge
Redman and Mary.
Research is the process of defining and re- defining problems formulating the different
hypothesis with suggested solutions by collecting, summarizing, organizing and evaluating
different datas by thus reaching on solutions with careful testing. Research is common meanswhich refers to search for knowledge.
Research is scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.
A Careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new facts in any branch of
knowledge.
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

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

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.

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
managing director, works manager, plant superintendent, controller, treasurer, office managers,
engineers, directors of functions such as purchasing, research, personnel, legal, marketing etc.
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.
8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur
28/72
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.
8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur
29/72
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.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES IN KARAM Industries :-
KARAM Industries follows the philosophy to establish and build a strong performance driven

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.
8/3/2019 sarvjeet kaur

Training programme for testing out the training:-
Also there are training programmes, which are not flowing directly from the training needs
measurement of effectiveness of the training is not needed to be measured.

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.
