INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Training can be introduced simply as a process of assisting a person for enhancing his
efficiency and effectiveness to particular work area by getting more knowledge and practices.
Also training is important to established specific skill, abilities and knowledge to an
employee. For an organisation, Training and development are important as well as
organisational growth, because the organisational growth and profit are also dependent on the
training. But the training is not core of organisational development. It is a function of the
organisation development.
In the field of Human resources management, Training and development is the field concern
with organisation activities which are aimed to bettering individual and group performances
in organisational setting. It has been know by many names in the field HRM, such as
employee development, human resources development, learning and development etc.
Training is really development employee’s capacities through learning and practices.
Training and development is the framework for helping employees to develop their personal
and organisational skill, knowledge and abilities. The focus of all aspect of Human Resource
and Development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the organisation and
individual employees can accomplished their work goals in service to customers.
All employees want to be valuable and remain competitive in the labour market at all times.
Cause they make some demand for employees in the labour market. This can only be
achieved through employees training and development. Hence to employees have a chance to
negotiate as wells employee has a good opportunity to select most suitable person for this
vacancy. Employees always want to develop career-enhancing skills, which is always lead to
employee motivation there is no doubt well-trained and develop staff will be a valuable asset
to the company and thereby increase the chances of the efficiency in discharging his or her
duties.
Training is an organisation can be mainly of two types; Internal or External training sessions.
Internal training involves when training is organised in-house by the human resources
development or training department either a senior staff or any talented staff in the particular
department as a resource person.
On the other hand external training is normally arrange outside the firm and is mostly
organised by training institutes or consultants. Whichever training, it is very important for all
staff and help in building career positioning and preparing staff for greater challenge in
developing world. However the train is costly. Because of that, people who work at firms do
not received external training is most of time. The cost is the major issue for the lack of
training programs is Sri Lanka. But now a days, a new concept has come with this trainings
which are “trainers through trainees” while training their employees in large quantities, many
countries use that method in present days to reduce their training cost. The theory of this is,
sending a little group or an individual for a training programmes under a bonding agreement
or without a bond. When they come back to work, the external trained employees train the
employees who have not participated for above training programmer by internal training
programs.
For every employee to perform well, especially supervisors and managers, there is a need
constant training and development. The right employee training, development and education
provide big payoffs for the employer in increased productivity, knowledge, loyalty and
contribution to general growth of the firm. In most case internal trainings for instance provide
participants with the avenue to meet new set of people in the same field and network. The
meeting will give them the chance to compare issues and find out what is obtainable in each
other’s environment. This for will sure introduce positive change where necessary.
It is not maintained anywhere that the employees, manager and supervisor are not suitable for
training programme. They also must be highly trained if they are expected to do their best for
the organisation. Through that they will have best abilities and competencies to manage the
organisation. Training employees not only create a more positive corporate culture, but also
add a value to its key resources.
Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the organisation to achieve it
goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the developed employees are continuously
increasing. Thus the training is a kind of investment
The researcher was carried out in a short span of time, where in the researcher could
not widen the study.
The major limitation of the study is that I have collected only secondary data but not
collected the primary data from NALCO.
1.5 Research Methodology
Research methodology is a methodology for collecting all sorts of information & data
pertaining to the subject in question. The objective is to examine all the issues involved &
conduct situational analysis. the methodology includes the overall research design, sampling
procedures, framework and finally the analysis procedure. There is only one method for
studying the data for the project that is secondary data.
Secondary data:
Secondary data were collected from available books, publications, research studies,
articles and websites.

In terms of nation building by empowering the youths, NALCO has committed to contribute
10% of CSR fund for Skill Development. A centre of excellence for Skill development in
mining sector has been inaugurated at Bhubaneswar to facilitate training of unemplyoyed
youth.
It’s assuming ever important role in wake of the advancement of technology which has
resulted in ever increasing competition, rise in customer’s expectation of quality & service &
a subsequent need to lower costs. It is also become more important globally in order to
prepares workers for new jobs. In the current write up, we will focus more on the emerging
need of training & development, its implications upon individuals & the employers.
Before we say that technology is responsible for increased need of training inputs to
employees, it is important to understand that there are other factors too that contribute to the
later. Training is also necessary for the individual development & progress of employee,
which motivates him to work for a certain organization part from just money. We also require
training update employees of the market trends, the change in the employment policies &
other things.
The following are the two biggest factors that contribute to the increased need to training &
development in organization:
1. Change: The word change encapsulates almost everything. It is one of the biggest factors
that contribute to the need of training & development. There is in fact a direct relationship
between the two. Change leads to the need for training & development &training &
development leads to individual & organizational change, & the cycle goes on and on. More
specially it is the technology that is driving the need; changing the way how business
function, complete & deliver.
2. Development: It is again one the strong reasons for training & development becoming all
the more important. Money is not the sole motivator at work & this is especially very true for
the 21st century. People who work with organizations seek more than just employment out of
their work; they look at holistic development of self. Spiritually & self-awareness for
example are gaining momentum world over. People seek happIeness at jobs which may not
be possible unless an individual is aware of the self. At ford, for example, an individual can
enrollhimslef / herself in a course on ‘self-awareness’, which apparently seems
inconsequential to ones performance at work but contributes to the spiritual wellbeing of an
individual which is all the more important.
His process of needs assessment happens at three stages or levels, the organizational, the job
& the person or the individual. This is the basis for any needs assessment survey & remains
the same more or less in all organizations around the globe. There are however many
techniques for collecting the data for training need analysis. This article discusses some of the
methods used for the same.
The needs assessment conducted at various stages tries to answer a different sect of
questions. Organizational analysis, for example, aims at the ‘Where in the organization’ of
the training. Person analysis similarly attempts to decipher the question of ‘Whom in the
organization’. There are therefore various instruments or techniques that are used to collect
data for the analysis at each stage.
Personnel & skill inventories, organizational climate & efficiency indices, Management
requests, Exit interviews, management by objectives (MBO) are the various kinds of
techniques that are used at the level of organizational analysis for collecting data for training
needs analysis.
Essentially all these tools collect data that is inferential in nature, but does not give a clear
picture of the training needs. For example, the above mentioned tools may lead an
organization to reduce that ‘there is a need for aligning the work processes with the
organizational goals / objectives’, which is not very rich diagnostically. It may require further
analysis, which is done with the help of tools at the level of job or the task.
The techniques for data collection at the level of the job include job description, performance
standards, work sampling, job specifications, job literature analysis, & analysis of operational
problems among others. These techniques are aimed at extracting data for understanding the
target of training i.e. what exactly should be taught in training. Time management may be
may be one critical intervention in project handling / management.
TYPES OF TRAINING
Under these methods new or inexperienced employees learn through observing peers or
managers performing the job and trying to imitate their behaviour. These methods do not cost
much and are less disruptive as employees are always on the job, training is given on the
same machines and experience would be on already approved standards, and above all the
trainee is learning while earning. Some of the commonly used methods are:
1. Coaching:
Trained only Coaching is a one-to-one training. It helps in quickly identifying the weak areas
and tries to focus on them. It also offers the benefit of transferring theory learning to practice.
The biggest problem is that it perpetrates the existing practices and styles. In India most of
the scooter mechanics are through this method.
2. mentoring:
The focus in this training is on the development of attitude. It is used for managerial
employees. Mentoring is always done by a senior inside person. It is also one-to- one
interaction, like coaching.
3. Job Rotation
It is the process of training employees by rotating them through a series of related jobs.
Rotation not only makes a person well acquainted with different jobs, but it also alleviates
boredom and allows to develop rapport with a number of people. Rotation must be logical
It is a Step by step (structured) on the job training method in which a suitable trainer (a)
prepares a trainee with an overview of the job, its purpose, and the results desired, (b)
demonstrates the task or the skill to the trainee, (c) allows the trainee to show the
demonstration on his or her own, and (d) follows up to provide feedback and help. The
trainees are presented the learning material in written or by learning machines through a
series called ‘frames’. This method is a valuable tool for all educators (teachers and trainers).
It helps us:
The object of such training is to make the trainees all-round craftsmen. It is an expensive
method of training. Also, there is no guarantee that the trained worker will continue to work
in the same organisation after securing training. The apprentices are paid remuneration
according the apprenticeship agreements.
6. Understudy:
In this method, a superior gives training to a subordinate as his understudy like an assistant to
a manager or director (in a film). The subordinate learns through experience and observation
by participating in handling day to day problems. Basic purpose is to prepare subordinate for
assuming the full responsibilities and duties.
Off-the-job training methods are conducted in separate from the job environment, study
material is supplied, there is full concentration on learning rather than performing, and there
is freedom of expression. Important methods include:
Lectures and conferences are the traditional and direct method of instruction. Every training
programme starts with lecture and conference. It’s a verbal presentation for a large audience.
However, the lectures have to be motivating and creating interest among trainees. The
speaker must have considerable depth in the subject. In the colleges and universities, lectures
and seminars are the most common methods used for training.
2. Vestibule Training:
Vestibule Training is a term for near-the-job training, as it offers access to something new
(learning). In vestibule training, the workers are trained in a prototype environment on
specific jobs in a special part of the plant.
An attempt is made to create working condition similar to the actual workshop conditions.
After training workers in such condition, the trained workers may be put on similar jobs in
the actual workshop.
This enables the workers to secure training in the best methods to work and to get rid of
initial nervousness. During the Second World War II, this method was used to train a large
number of workers in a short period of time. It may also be used as a preliminary to on-the
job training. Duration ranges from few days to few weeks. It prevents trainees to commit
costly mistakes on the actual machines.
3. Simulation exercises:
Simulation is any artificial environment exactly similar to the actual situation. There are four
basic simulation techniques used for imparting training: management games, case study, role
playing, and in-basket training.
Properly designed games help to ingrain thinking habits, analytical, logical and reasoning
capabilities, importance of team work, time management, to make decisions lacking complete
information, communication and leadership capabilities. Use of management games can
encourage novel, innovative mechanisms for coping with stress.
Management games orient a candidate with practical applicability of the subject. These
games help to appreciate management concepts in a practical way. Different games are used
for training general managers and the middle management and functional heads – executive
Games and functional heads.
Case studies are complex examples which give an insight into the context of a problem as
well as illustrating the main point. Case Studies are trainee centered activities based on topics
that demonstrate theoretical concepts in an applied setting.
A case study allows the application of theoretical concepts to be demonstrated, thus bridging
the gap between theory and practice, encourage active learning, provides an opportunity for
the development of key skills such as communication, group working and problem solving,
and increases the trainees” enjoyment of the topic and hence their desire to learn.
Four Major Theories of Training and Development
Competitive advantage is referred to that ability of an organization which is not possessed by the other
organizations and it is a competitive advantage which leads the organization to the top positions. There are
many organizations in the world who are leading the markets by gaining competitive advantage in different
fields of their business activities. One of the way in which a firm can attain a competitive advantage over the
competitors is by building a force of superior human resource. Now the question arises that how this force of
superior human resource can be build. The answer lies in a very important function of human resource
management i.e. training and development. It has been observed that the employees or labor working in a
competitive environment of market always welcome the training and development programs which can enhance
their skills and knowledge. Now days every job holder understands that to sustain and grow in the career it is
very important to polish their skills. It is not that time where one degree or diploma is sufficient for the whole
life. Employees actively participate in several programs which are organized by their organization and it has
been observed that in some organization employee’s demand from their human resource department to arrange
such training and development programs. Successful organization of today has built their human resource work
force over the passage of time. There is no doubt that this work force is a highly valuable asset for any
organization and the only possible way to build this workforce is training and development. There are several
theories which emphasize on the importance of training and development in the organization and provides
different alternative methods for training and development. A discussion of four major theories of training and
development is given below.
Theory of Reinforcement
This theory emphasizes on the learning behavior of a person and suggests that the learner will repeat
that behavior which is attached with a positive outcome or result. Skinner an economist of behaviorist
school of thought proposed the theory of reinforcement and suggested that the training and
development programs should be aligned with the organizational objectives and a positive outcome
should be expected with such training and development programs. Further elaborating this concept
suggested in reinforcement theory, it can be argued that there are several techniques available in
human resource practices which can be associated with the training and development programs and
the required suggestion by this theory can be fulfilled. Different types of rewards in the form of
bonuses, salary raises, promotion and awarding of certificate after the training program can be
associated with the training and development activities and these rewards will definitely generate a
positive outcome. If this is done by an organization then according to the Skinner’s theory of
reinforcement the trainer i.e. the employee will show more interest in the training and development
programs held by the organization
Theory of Learning Types
The theory presented by Gagne emphasized on learning of intellectual skills. These are such
skills which are found rare among the persons. He suggested by different learning types in his
theory and each learning type contains some external and internal conditions. The five
categories of learning which Gagne defined in his theory include intellectual skills, verbal
information, attitudes, cognitive strategies and motor skills
Social theory presents a new view of learning i.e. social. According to the presenter of this
theory, Albert Bandura, direct reinforcement cannot address all types of learning. Here by
direct enforcement means the training and development programs that is organized to
enhance the skills. According to this theory such programs are not address all learning types
as there are some social elements which cannot be taught. Those elements are learned by the
leaner from his/her surroundings. Such type of learning is called observational learning and
this learning is associated with the understanding of different human behaviors. The first type
of learning defined in this theory is through observation. In an organization the environment
and the surroundings plays a very important role. The environment should be very
professional and the surroundings should be in such a way that the people (employees) learn
from them. This theory also suggests that it is not necessary that the behavior is changed after
learning something. It is expected that a person’s behavior changes after learning something,
but it is not in all cases. Furthermore the theory also explains about the mental states which
play a vital role in learning process. If the mental status of the person is negative regarding
any learning activity then he will not take part in that learning process and even if he is forced
to do so, he will not gain any positivity from that process. In organizational training programs
the mental state can be made positive regarding the training and development programs by
associating the rewards and benefits with such programs which will motivate the employees
and help to build a positive mental state. The case company also follow this theory as it
allows the employees to learn from the surrounding and provides an environment where they
can learn from their supervisors/managers and coworkers.

Disadvantages of training
1. Can be a financial drain on resources; expensive development and
testing, expensive to operate?
2. Often takes people away from their job for varying periods of time;
3. Equips staff to leave for a better job .
4. Bad habits passed on
5. Narrow experience
Development
Hamlin observed development as training of future jobs. According to Nadler: development
is concerned with providing learning experiences to employees so that they may be ready to
move in new directions that organisational change may require. A limitation of training needs
based solely on needs analysis that it fails to address the development issue Development is
the need to enhance competencies beyond those required by the
immediate job, for example:
- Values & ethics of organization & professional group
- Sources of enthusiasm
Employee Orientation
The first step in training is an employee orientation. Employee orientation is the process used
for welcoming a new employee into the organization. The importance of employee
orientation is two-fold. First, the goal is for employees to gain an understanding of the
company policies and learn how their specific job fits into the big picture. Employee
orientation usually involves filling out employee paperwork such as I-9 and 401(k) program
forms. The goals of an orientation are as follows:
1.The framework used to help employees develop their personal and organizational skills,
knowledge, and abilities.
2.The process used for welcoming a new employee into the organization Training and
Development.
1.To reduce start-up costs. If an orientation is done right, it can help get the employee up to
speed on various policies and procedures, so the employee can start working right away. It
can also be a way to ensure all hiring paperwork is filled out correctly, so the employee is
paid on time.
2.To reduce anxiety.Starting a new job can be stressful. One goal of an orientation is to
reduce the stress and anxiety people feel when going into an unknown situation.
3.To reduce employee turnover. Employee turnover tends to be higher when employees don’t
feel valued or are not given the tools to perform. An employee orientation can show that the
organization values the employee and provides tools necessary for a successful entry.
4.To save time for the supervisor and coworkers. A well-done orientation makes for a better
prepared employee, which means less time having to teach the employee.
5.To set expectations and attitudes.If employees know from the start what the expectations
are, they tend to perform better. Likewise, if employees learn the values and attitudes of the
organization from the beginning, there is a higher chance of a successful tenure at the
company.Some companies use employee orientation as a way to introduce employees not
only to the company policies and procedures but also to the staff. For an example of
an orientation schedule for the day.
In a changed economic set up with fierce competition, training & development Programmes
are must; otherwise managerial personnel would become obsolete. David EwingIn his book
'The knowledge of an executive' has rightly said: "The Management personnel must realize
that they will not survive unless they keep pace With modem management education,
research theory, principles and practices". Various organizations have discovered that
whatever leaming an employee embarks On, even outside the workplace for their own
satisfaction, has potential benefits for the Organization. Employees are the internal customer
of the human resource philosophy Of the company. Any organization committed to its
mission and vision captures the Heart and soul of its workforce. Opportunities to leam and
grow are powerful Motivators to inspire talented workforce. When work allows employees to
use their Minds, acquire new skills, and face situations that enable them to grow, they
become Enthusiastic about the work Benefits of training & development to the Organization
are as under Leads to improved profitability and/ or more positive attitudes towards profit
orientation. Improves the job knowledge and skills at all levels of the organization. Improves
the morale of the executives. Helps people identify with organizational goals. Helps create a
better corporate image. Fosters authenticity, openness and trust. Improves relationship
between boss and subordinate. Aids in organizational development. Learns from the trainee.
Helps prepare guidelines for work. Aids in understanding and carrying out organizational
policies. Provides information for fiiture needs in all areas of the organization. Organization
gets more effective decision-making and problem-solving skills. Aids in development for
promotion from within the organization. Aids in developing leadership skills, motivation,
loyalty, better attitudes and other aspects that successful workers and managers usually
display. Aids in increasing productivity and/ or quality of work.
b)Future Needs: The following future needs will force the company to train, or retrain its
employees:
Expansion.
Reorganization.
New Methods.
New Equipment.
New Products.
Retirements.
Promotion.
Seasonal Variations.
Change in Layout.
Special Jobs.
Changes in Manning Levels.
Attritions.
• Organization Culture.
• Organization Development.
c) Existing Problems Training need is also indicated from such problems existing in the
organization:
• Standards of work performance not being met;
• Accidents;
• Excessive scrap; incidence of errors or faults in
job are high;
• Frequent need for equipment repair;
• High rate of transfer and turnover;
• Too many low ratings on employee evaluation reports;
• Many people using different methods to do the same job;
• Excessive fatigue, fumbling, struggling with the job;
• Bottlenecks and deadlines not being met.
After assessing training needs for the organization, training and development objectives are
to be established. Objective can help in measuring the training program's effectiveness.
Objectives of training program should be tangible and measureable. The objectives of
training provide the following:
1.A record of condition that exist prior to the training.
2.A basis for evaluation of training. Training objectives are of great significance to the
number of stakeholder perspectives;
1.Trainers - Training objectives help the trainer to measure progress of trainee and make
appropriate adjustments for improvement.
2.Trainees - Training objectives are beneficial to the trainee because it helps in reducing the
anxiety of the trainee up to some extent. It helps in increase in concentration, which is crucial
factor to make training successfiil.
3.Designer - Training objective is allows designer to translate the training needs into training
outcome. It also helps in development of better training plan.
4.Evaluator - It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of the
trainees because he knows the expected outcome of that training program.
5Designing a Training Programme Designing training program denotes the strategy and
planning through which training program could be conducted effectively. Designing of a
training program should consider following contents careflilly-
1.The trainer : The choice of faculty is important to the success of training program. Trainer
must have specialized knowledge on the subject and his experience and skills to be reflected
in handling working sessions.
2.The trainees : The trainees should be form fairly homogenous group with respect to
experience, knowledge, and potential for learning so as to avoid disparity in the group.
3.Curriculum : It should be relevant to trainer's level and job to be performed.
4.Training material: Learning material has to designed with great care. It should be properly
indexed and even distributed in advance.
5.Methods and Techniques : Methods and Techniques of instruction are important as they are
responsible to maintain interest and participation of trainee in the training.
6. Duration of training : Duration of a training program generally depends upon skills to
acquired and the learning capacity of the trainee. Effective use of visual aids can reduce
training duration significantly.
7.Location : Training managers can decide venue of training depend upon the availability of
funds and resources.
6. Evaluation of training programme The last stage in the training and development process is
the evaluation of results. Since the huge money and resources are spent on training and
development programs, how far the program has been useful must be judged. Training
evaluation is an activity aimed to determine effectiveness of training program in terms of
achievement of objective of training program. Evaluation of training program also provides
useful information about the design of future training programs. Training evaluation can
bemade during three periods, namely, before the training, during the training, and after the
completion of training. Evaluation is needed for the following reasons:
1.To make the training program more effective : Through evaluation we can examine the
various methods of teaching, content of lessons, training environment etc.
2.It is used as training aid : Once an evaluation is made, it becomes a full proof method of a
training program, which will be useful for subsequent training program.

Traditional management training is concerned with examining the fundamental principles and
practice of management. These management training courses remain very important but
management training is now becoming more convened with the learning needs of people
within an organization, HR management issues, change management, finical accountability,
strategy, technology e.g. e-Commerce, etc. Fundamentals of management training are :
1.Organization planning and role/Process analysis.
2.Coordinating plans and setting objectives.
3.Management control information.
4.The management process, organization and communications.
5.Power and authority in the process.
6. Leadership styles and its effects on culture and productivity.
7.Expectations of people in organizations.
8. Social structures and work groups.
9. Participative management.
Today, management training programs are less concerned with vocational awareness and
more concerned with business awareness and continuous improvement.whybecaus supervisor
and junior management training programmes have successfully developed departmental
resources that are well able to manage day-to-day operations. Therefore the key challenge for
middle management training is in developing the skills needed to lead empowered
individuals, and teams, in the journey to make the organizations vision and values a reality.
This means that middle management training needs to focus on environmental management
issues, across the process chain, between organizational units and transcending organizational
levels, and through effective working relationships with the organizational strategic partners.
It is therefore imperative that management training programmes focus on leadership and
change management techniques to foster the attitudes, behaviors and skills necessary to break
down and overcome barriers and constraints. Management training also needs to develop
management ability to cope with organizational metamorphosis, unitization, flatter structures,
change in power bases, etc.with e-commerce, and other high-tech influences, the paradox is it
has never been more easier to realize excellence but potentially it has never been more harder
to find the management time needed to develop new management skills, or utilize them, in
the pursuit of excellence. This then is the challenge facing management training. Training
consultants must stress the importance of working in conjunction with your internal
facilitators in the formulation of management training strategies and supporting management
laining programmes. This could evolve in better middle management training programmes
for the employees. For management training to create a learning culture the management
training programme must focus on developing greater awareness and understanding of
motivation, expectations and behavior of people at work, prior to examining the learning
process and how to relate learning to needs and the effective application in work. These
management training courses could consider:
1.Role analysis and competence & capability assessment.
2.Performance appraisal-the instrument for organizational development.
3.Identifying organization and junior management training needs.
4.Designing management training opportunities for individual career expectations.
5.Motivation theories and their impact upon organizational culture.
6. Leadership, behavior characteristics and attitudes.
7.Leadership process-Difference between junior and middle management training.
8. Use of learning in styles for effective management training.
9. Self management training thought experiential learning methods.
10.Barriers and blockages to management training and organization development.
11.Learning method and management training techniques.
12.Communication skills including advising, influencing, counseling, coaching, mentoring,
consulting and presenting.
13.Validating and evaluating, management training and learning applications. Lynton and
Pareek"" have suggested some new concepts to make training more effective and useful to
the organization.
training is an important tool in the wholesome strategy for development. a part from
the organization, imparted training creates additional capabilities in the employees to
do the job better and with more confidence. his sharpened skills directly contribute to
his expertise and career progression in the organization. the training result in clearer
thinking on the part of the part of the employee and minimizes interruptions in his own
work cycle as also of others. however, the history of training has revealed different
patterns. in the nineteenth century, the concept of training was based on observation
work guidance pattern. the educational qualifications played the secondary role and
was not considered basic criterion for employment. faith and loyalty were the
foremost considerations. the person was employed and was asked to observe the activities of
his seniors and under his watchful eye was asked to initiate action by copying or imitating
and was give on-the job guidance in case of need by pointing out the shortcomings and by
mild punishments. with the advent of the industrial revolution, education and qualifications
are now given prime importance. prospective employees are short listed, identified,
put to some kind of test before recruiting them and are given training before giving
them an opportunity to take up any activity for which either he had some basic skills
or capabilities and which could be further enriched by training. it is much later that the
concept norms, given exposure relating to the expected job both in theory and practice.
in other words, the process has graduated from pure managerial focus to
developmental focus. now, organizations are developing different approaches, which
are significantly different from one another. some organizations have formulated detailed
human resource policies, which are proactive as far as the staff in the organization is
concerned. the organization have management policies basically oriented towards customers
and their own future role so much so that at points of time they look insensitive to the
staff/workers of theorganization as they basically treat human resource as a part of their
normal activity. still some organization has followed policies, which transform the
organizational progress continuously and innovative steps to provide best customer service
through well prepared and equipped staff obviously, such organization will have a benevolent
approach towards its human resource both in the individual well being as also
organizational placement, enhancement of skills and capabilities and enabling them to
work with a mentor for his long term career progression. the training & development in
today's changing business environment is becoming more & more dynamic. the core function
of any training department is to bridge the gap between the changing requirements of the job
& the abilities that individuals need to perform these tasks such as self-directed leadership,
self-motivated terms & self generated creativity to excel in their respective areas of
performance.
