PREFACE As a part of my curriculum for MBA, I am required to undergo two months practical training. The objective of this training is to gain an insight into functioning of the personnel department in an organization. The emphasis is on appraising myself with practical implications of the theoretical concepts of Human Resource management learnt at the institute, in the working environment.

I got an opportunity to undergo this training in an esteemed Public Sector Enterprise like under able guidance of Mr. Atul Jain, (Head HR Department) and Ms. Sweta Singh, (H.R. Executive) , PNB BANK.

The research project entitled Review on Techniques adopted by HR Management to Improve the Effectiveness of Training and Development is an attempt to understand the opinion and attitudes of the various categories of employees of the oil and natural gas corporate limited towards the maintenance of effectiveness of Training services provided by the Company.

It also aims to know and study obstacles in the proper utilization and increase the effectiveness of Training programs and try to suggest remedial measures wherever possible.

The data was collected through well structured questionnaires. About 100 employees were considered for the sample size out of 300 employees, since the researchers are given very limited time. This survey was carried out in various departments of the Company.

In the course of study, it was found that the training programmes analyzed were provided to all the employees of oil and natural gas corporate limited and was not specific to particular category of employees. The in depth study of the welfare measures adopted by the company revealed that majority of the employees were fairly satisfied with the training and development programmes.

INTRODUCTION The success of any organization in the long run depends very much on the quality of human resources. Human resources comprise the aggregate of employee attributes including knowledge, skill and health which are

potentially available to an organization for the achievement of its goals. In other words, human resources consist of the value of the productive capacity and considered to the most vital and valuable amongst the resources namely men machine, money and material. It is the quality of manpower that determines the success of an organization. The importance also stems from the fact that all other resources depreciate in value with the passage of time and use, the human resource appreciate in value through acquisition of greater knowledge through experience and training that reflects an inherent dynamism and the development potential.

There has been an increasing realization that the organization success is dependent on the synergy created by its human resources. Growth can only be ensured through appropriate collaboration and amalgamation of various personnel around organization goals or tasks. Tremendous changes in the social science and technology, spheres have brought many complexities to industrial system. The limitation of a machine is restricted to its specification but that of a human being is

unlimited provided it is tapped in the right way, hence organization of all kinds seem to be growing increasingly aware of its economic importance as a resource. In a competitive business world the success of an organization depends to a great extent upon the leadership of the manager. If he can lead people effectively and attain organizational objectives the organization will flourish.

The development of personnel at all levels is one of the primary responsibilities of the manager as it is the people in the organization which provide them competitive edge over others. Hence for the success of organization, management has to identify the potential and innate abilities of the people to effectiveness of the organization in the economic growth of country.

TRAINING Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced persons to perform the activity that have to be done. In a rapidly changing business environment training and development is not only an activity but also an independent function or sub system within the organization which it must commit its resources if it has to maintain a viable and knowledgeable work force. Training is defined as learning that is provided in order to improve performance on the present job. A person's performance is improved by showing her how to master a new or established technology. The technology may be a piece of heavy machinery, a computer, a procedure for creating a product, or a method of providing a service. Oliver Sheldon says No industry can rendered efficient so long as the fact remains unrecognized that the in principally human not a mass of machines and technical process but a body of men. If manpower is properly utilized it causes the industry to run at its maximum optimization getting results and also works for as an climax for industrial and group satisfaction in the relation to the work formed. Competitive advantage is therefore depending on the knowledge and skill possessed by employee more than the finance or market structure by organization.

Meaning and Definition: After an employee is selected, placed and introduced, he or she needs to be provided with training facilities. The training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing the particular job. Training is a short term educational process and utilizing systematic and organized procedure by which an employee is learned the technical knowledge.

Definition: Staimez: defines Training is a short term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which non-managerial personnel to learn technical knowledge and skill Mamoria: defines Development covers not only the activities which improve job performance, but also those which b ring about growth of personality, helps individual in the process towards maturity and actualization of this potential capacities so that they become not only good employees but also both good men and women. S. P. Robbins: Defines Training is a learning process which seeks a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience.

Dale Yoder: Defines It is that deals with the effective control and use of manpower as a distinguished from other source of man power Meaning: Training is part of Human Resource Development. It is concerned with concerned with training, development, and education. Training has been defined as an organized learning experience, conducted in a definite time period, to increase the possibility of improving job performance and growth. Organized means that it is conducted in a systematic way. Although learning can be incidental, training is concerned with the worker learning clear and concise standards of performance or objectives. Training is the acquisition of technology which permits employees to perform their present job to standards. It improves human performance on the job the employee is presently doing or is being hired to do. Also, it is given when new technology in introduced into the workplace. Development is training people to acquire new horizons, technologies, or viewpoints. It enables leaders to guide their organizations onto new expectations by being proactive rather than reactive. It enables workers to create better products, faster services, and more competitive organizations. It is learning for growth of the individual, but not related to a specific present or future job. Unlike training, which can be completely evaluated, development cannot always be fully evaluated. This

10

does not mean that we should abandon development programs, as helping people to grow and develop is what keeps an organization in the cutting edge of competitive environments. Development can be considered the forefront of what many now call the Learning Organization. Development involves changes in an organism that are systematic, organized, and successiveand are thought to serve an adaptive function. Training could be compared this metaphor - if I miss one meal in a day, then I will not be able to work as effectively due to a lack of nutrition. While development would be compared to this metaphor - if I do not eat, then I will starve to death. The survival of the organization requires development throughout the ranks in order to survive, while training makes the organization more effective and efficient in its day-to-day operations.

3. Less learning period:- A systematic training programme helps to reduce the

time and cost involved in learning. Employees can more quickly reach the acceptable level of performance. They need not waste their time and efforts in learning through trial and error.
4. Cost reduction:- training employees make more economical use of

materials and machinery. Reduction in wastage and spoilage together with increase din productivity help to minimize cost of operations per unit.

14

Maintenance cost in also reduced due to fewer machine breakdowns and better handling of equipment. Plant capacity can be put to the optimum use.
5. Low accident rate:- Trained personnel adopt the right work methods are

make use of the prescribed safety devices. Therefore the frequency of accidents is reduced. Health and safety of employees can be improved.
6. High morale:- Proper training can develop positive attitude among the

employees. Job satisfaction and morale are improved because of rise in earning and job security of the employees training reduces the employees grievances because opportunities for internal promotions are available to well trained employees.

15

9. Increases organizational stability and flexibility:- Organizational stability

Organizations having regular training programmes fulfill their needs for personnel from internal resources. Organizational stability is enhanced because training helps to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism. Training is an investment in people and therefore is sound business investment. Intact no business can chose whether or not to train the employees, the only is whether this training shall be haphazard or casual, misdirected or whether it shall be made carefully planned, part of an integrated programme of personnel administration.

16

Principle of Training:

1. Training Plan: This must be well planned, prescribed and ably executed effective implementation depends to great extend on planning.

2. Organizational objectives: T & D program must meet objectives of the organization

3. Equity and fairness: T and D program must enjoy equal opportunity to drive benefit out of such training and must have equal chance to undergo such training.

4. Application specification: Training content is balanced between theory and practical. It must be Application specification.

5. Upgrading information: T and D program is continuous reviewed at periodic interval as order to make them updated in terms of knowledge and skill.

6. Top Management support: Top management support is essential to make Training and Development effective.

17

7. Centralization: For economy of effective uniformity and efficiency, centralization of training department is found more common and useful.

8. Motivation Training and Development have motivation aspects like better career opportunity, individuals & skill development etc.,

Need for Training: Training must be tailored to fit the organizations strategy and structure. It is seen as pivotal in implementing organization-wide culture-change efforts, such as developing a commitment to customer service, adopting total quality management, or making a transition to self-directed work teams. Pace-setting Human Resource Development departments have moved from simply providing training on demand to solving organizational problems. Trainers see themselves as internal consultants or performance improvement specialists rather than just instructional designers or classroom presenters. Training is only one of the remedies that may be applied by the new breed of Human Resource Development practitioners. In an age of network organizations, alliances, and long-term relationships with just-in-time suppliers, leading companies are finding that they need to train people other than their own employees. Some organization offer quality training to their

18

suppliers to ensure the quality of critical inputs. Organizations with a strong focus on customer service may provide training for purchasers to their product. 1. Shortage of skill: Skilled and knowledge people are always on short supply, alternatively they are too expensive to hire from outside. The best way is to improve the skill and knowledge of the existing employees through Training and Development. 2. Technological Obsolesce: Growth of technology takes place very fast. This will render current technological obsolesces in the near future. 3. Personal Obsolesce: At the time of recruitment employees posses a certain amount of knowledge and skill. As the time passes their knowledge becomes obsolesce unless it is uploaded by proper training. This happens because of changes take place in product methods procurement of better machines. 4. Organization Obsolesce: Modern management has introduced a number of innovative steps in functioning of management like play organizing, controlling to such change are bound to fail and become obsolete, to prevent obsolesce organization. Employees must be exposed to modern Technology through T & D 5. Increased Productivity: Instruction can help employees increase their level of performance. Increase human performance often directly leads to operational productivity and increase company profits.

19

6. Coercive Training by Government: In order to provide better employability changes of unemployed youth, certain governments have taken initiatives to mobilize resource available at public/government and private to provide training to outside candidates. One such arrangement is called at Apprenticeship Training conducted by Government of India. A part of expenditure incurred for this by the private sectors is reimbursed by government. 7. Human Capital: The latest thinking is to treat employees as Human Capital. The expenditure involved in training and development are now being considered as an investment. This is cause in globalization it is the knowledge and skill of employees which determine complete advantages of firm.

20

OBJECTIVES AND GOALS OF TRAINING: Training and Development can help an organization in a number of ways. Ultimately, it is employee knowledge and skill that produce the organizations product or service. Training facilitates the implementation of strategy by providing employees with the capability to perform their jobs in the manner dictated by the strategy. Training also assists in solving immediate business problems, such as when a team of Manager in an action learning program studies a real problem and recommends a solution. Finally to keep ahead in a highly competitive the turbulent environment, it has been suggested that the training function must foster a continuous learning culture and stimulate managers to reinvent their corporation. Training enables employees to develop and train within the organization and increase the market value, earning power and job security. It moulds the employees attitude and also helps them to achieve better co-operation with the company and greater loyalty to it. The management is benefited in the sense that higher standard of quality are achieved, a satisfactory organization structure is built up, authority can be delegated and stimulus for progress applied to employees.

COMPANY PROFILE
BANKING STRUCTURE The Indian banking industry, which has Reserve Bank of India as its regulatory authority, is a mix of the public sector, private sector, and foreign banks. The private sector banks are again split into old banks and new banks. SCHEDULED BANKS Scheduled commercial banks are those that come under the purview of the Second Schedule of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934. The banks that are included under this schedule are those that satisfy the criteria laid down vide section 42 (60 of the Act). Some cooperative banks come under the category of scheduled commercial banks though not all cooperative banks.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS Public sector banks are those in which the Government of India or the RBI is a majority shareholder. These banks include the State Bank of India (PNB) and its subsidiaries, other nationalized banks, and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs). Over 70% of the aggregate branches in India are those of the public sector banks. Some of the leading banks in this segment include Allahabad Bank, Canara Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank of India, Indian Overseas Bank, State Bank of India, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Travancore, Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Oriental Bank of Commerce, UCO Bank, Union Bank of India, Dena Bank and Corporation Bank.

23

PRIVATE SECTOR BANKS Private banks are essentially comprised of two types: the old and the new. The old private sector banks comprise those, which were operating before Banking Nationalization Act was passed in 1969. On account of their small size, and regional operations, these banks were not nationalized. These banks face intense rivalry from the new private banks and the foreign banks. The banks that are included in this segment include: Bank of Madura Ltd. (now a part of ALLAHABAD Bank), Bharat Overseas Bank Ltd., Bank of Rajasthan, Karnataka Bank Ltd., Lord Krishna Bank Ltd., The Catholic Syrian Bank Ltd., The Dhanalakshmi Bank Ltd., The Federal Bank Ltd., The Jammu & Kashmir Bank Ltd., The Karur Vysya Bank Ltd., The Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd., The Nedungadi Bank Ltd. and Vysya Bank. The new private sector banks were established when the Banking Regulation Act was amended in 1993. Financial institutions promoted several of these banks. After the initial licenses, the RBI has granted no more licenses. These banks are gearing up to face the foreign banks by focusing on service and technology. Currently, these banks are on an expansion spree, spreading into semi-urban areas and satellite towns. The leading banks that are included in this segment include Bank of Punjab Ltd., Centurion Bank Ltd., Global Trust Bank Ltd., HDFC Bank Ltd., ALLAHABAD Banking Corporation Ltd., IDBI Bank Ltd., IndusInd Bank Ltd. and UTI Bank Ltd. FOREIGN BANKS The operations of foreign banks, though similar to that of other commercial Indian banks, are mainly confined to metropolitan areas. Foray of foreign banks depends on reciprocity, economic and political bilateral relations. An inter-departmental committee has been set up to endorse applications for entry and expansion. Foreign banks, in the wake of the liberalization 24

era, are looking to expand and diversify. Some of the leading foreign banks that operate in India are Citibank, Standard Chartered Grindlays Bank, Hong Kong Shanghai Banking Corporation, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, Development Bank of Singapore and Banque National De Paris.

PUBLIC SECTOR BANKING AT A DISADVANTAGE

Functioning of Public Sector Banks (PSBs), which are yet to achieve computerization across the board, is at a relative disadvantage when compared to the private sector, which is offering state-of-the-art facilities such as ATMs, doorstep banking, banking on phone, and net banking. PSBs also suffer from huge costs of labor and low levels of automation. At this rate, it may not be long before new channels devised by private banks effectively surpass the number of branch networks offered by the PSBs. This apart, the problems which have assumed enormous proportion today as far as Public Sector banks are concerned are ballooning NPA levels, declining margins, poor credit off-take, high overheads, and lack of good quality assets. Banks are sticking to reliable borrowers for fear of bad debts. In fact, banks largely invest in government securities, which have zero risk. With GOI being the single largest borrower, the yields on these securities determine the interest rates. The government aims to decrease its shareholding in PSBs to 33%, however, at the same time it also wants to retain the controlling stake. This, it is feared, is not going to solve the problems which PSBs are coping with now.

TRAINING METHODS AND TECHNIQUES

Because of the objective of Human Resource Development is to contribute to the organizations overall goals, training programs should be developed systematically and with the organizations true needs in mind. Successful training begins with a thorough need assessment to determine which employees need to be trained and what they need to be trained to do.

Allison Rossett and Joseph W. Arwady states The question is not whether you will solicit this kind of information through needs assessment. It is how much of it you will do and using which tools. The culmination for the assessment phase is a set of objectives specifying the purpose of the training and the competencies required in trainees after they complete the program.

This section considers the choice of methods for employees training. With training objectives defined and learning principles in mind, the trainer must be choose appropriate training methods and design the sequence of events in the training program. Perhaps the first decision to be made is whether to conduct the training on the job or away from the job. In many cases, the decision is to do some of both.

41

1. On the Job Training: On the job training is conducted at the work site and in the context of the actual job. The vast majority of all industrial training is conducted on the job, often by the trainees immediate superior or a nominated peer trainer. On-the job training has several advantages: b. Because of training setting is also the performance setting, the transfer of training to the job is maximized c. The cost of a separate training facility and a full-time trainer are avoided or reduced. d. Trainee motivation remains high because it is obvious to trainees that what they are learning is relevant to the job e. Trainees generally find on-the-job training more valuable than classroom training.

2. Apprenticeship Training: This training is combination of on and off the job training. The department of Labor regulates apprenticeship programs, and often management and a union jointly sponsor apprenticeship training. This training is normally given to artisans, electricians, plumbers, bricklayers etc., The duration is normally vary from 2 to 6 years. Apprenticeship training is carried out under the guidance and intimate supervision of master craftsman or expert

42

worker/supervisor. During apprenticeship training period, the trainees are paid less than that of a qualified worker. 3. Job Rotation: In the job rotation, management trainee/employee is made to move from one function to another at planned intervals. Job rotation is widely used as a management executive development program which makes the employee or management trainee, a multi-tasking individual. It can be done either vertical or horizontal. 4. Coaching and Understanding method: Training under experienced worker they are coached and instructed by skilled co-worker by supervisor by special trainee instructor. 5. Outbound Training: The outbound training is conducted in a location specifically designated for training. It may be near the workplace or away from work, at a customized training center or a resort. The purposes of conducting this kind of training away from the work place is to minimized or avoid distractions of the employee from their daily work routine and allows them to devote their full attention the specific subject. Some of the outbound training methods and activities are: a. Action planning: Often a closing activity asking participants to specify or set goals about exactly what they will do differently back on the job

43

b. Behaviour-modelling training: use a videotape to demonstrate the steps in a supervisory activity such as conducting a disciplinary interview, followed by role played skill practice and feedback c. Behavioral Simulation: Large-scale multi person role-lay, non-computerized business game. d. Brainstorming: Creative idea-generation exercise in which no criticism is allowed. e. Business Game: Computerised business simulation that requires participants to make decisions about strategy and investments and then provides financial results based on the decisions. f. Buzz Group: Small-group discussion of several minutes, duration on an assigned topic g. Case Study: From a one-paragraph vignette to a fifty-page Harvard-style case. h. Demonstration i. Experiential exercise, j. Field trip, k. Group discussion, l. Guest speaker, m. Guided teaching: Drawing from the group the points the lecturer would make him or herself otherwise

44

n. Information search: Asking trainees to locate the answers to question in the training materials or manuals provided o. Intergroup exchange: small groups share their ideas of findings with another group p. Learning game: competition between teams in a quiz show format q. Lecture r. Mental imagery: Asking participants to close their eyes and visualize or

recall something or engage in mental rehearsal of physical or interpersonal skills. s. Outdoor leadership training: Team activities that may include hiking, courses, or other physical challenges along with problem.-solving t. Problem-solving activities u. Role-play v. Self-assessment instrument or quiz. An example is a conflict style inventory. w. Team Building: A series of group activities and sometimes surveys used develop team skills and role clarify in a team of people who must work closely on the job x. Videotapes: can be used alone but are most effective in discussion and practice. to resolution rope

activities.

together

45

There are various other instructional methods used in training program: 1. Classroom-programs live 2. Workbooks / Manuals 3. Videotapes 4. Public Seminars 5. Self-assessment instruments 6. Role plays 7. Case Studies 8. Games/simulations (not computer-based) 9. Outdoor experiential programs Out of the above off job training techniques, the following are used in general: 1. Classroom Lectures 2. Conference and seminars 3. Group discussions and case study analysis 4. Audio-visual and film shows 5. Simulation and computer modeling 6. Vestibule training 7. Programmed organizations 8. Games and Role playing 9. T-group training

46

10. Retraining 1. Classroom lectures: This is the simplest and from the off the job training. This is a best form of instruction when the instruction is to convey information on rules, regulation, policies and procedures. 2. Conference and Seminars and Workshops: This is a formal method of arranging meeting in which individuals confer to discuss points of common interest for enriching their knowledge and skill. This is group activity. It encourages groups discussion and participation of individuals for seeking clarification and offering explanation and own experience. It is a planned activity with a leader or moderator to guide the proceedings, which is focused on agreed agendas points prefixed during planning stage of such conference. There are three variables: Directed conference Training conference Seminars and workshops 3. Group discussions and study analysis: case study method was initially introduced by Christopher Lang Dell at Harvard Law School in 1880s. The principle used is experiences are the best teacher. Here several empirical structures are examined in detail to find out commonalities to derive general discussion. Based on such studies and group discussion are initiated to derive

47

common lesson. This method has, however limited use of worker but both use for supervisors. In case of workers, areas of importance in this method are that the quality control.

4. Audio-visuals and Film Shows: In order to improve understanding very usual and sometimes is escapable to Demonstrate operation of a machine or explain or process. Audio-visual film shows can supplement the efforts lecturing and improve its effectiveness.

5. Simulation Computer Modeling: A training activity in which actual working environment is artificially created as near and realistic and possible is called simulation training. Case study, analysis, experiment exercise game playing computer model and vestibule training etc come under this category. When the work environment is artificially created by using computer-programming method well call it computer method

6. Vestibule Training: In this training, employees are trained of the equipment they are employed, but the training is conducted away from the place of work. In which all necessary equipment and machines required as actual machined ship are duplicated

48

7. Programme Instruction: Programmed instruction is a stu5rctured method of instruction aided through texts, handouts, book and computer aided instruction. In this case the instruction materials and information is broken down in meaning full unit and arranged in a proper sequenced from logical method of learning packages, the learning ability is tested and evaluated in real time basis

8. T. group Training: T stand for training or laboratory training. T group training was originated on 1940s but only 1960s it has opened to the industries. This Training has both supporters and opponents. Unlike any other programmers discussed. T group training is concerned with really problem existing within the other group itself.

9. Retraining: technology is advancing at rapid pace. Here obsolesce is a major problem faced by the worker are the introduction of automation for such retraining programme to update their knowledge, which will further make them productivity useful of the organization and restore this confidence.

49

Evaluation phase: Majority of employees were in agreement with the statement and said that training does helps in imparting a sense of belongingness for their organization as very few employees think otherwise. Evaluation is the systematic collection and assessment of information for the deciding how best to utilize available training resources in order to achieve organizational objectives. One of the most common ways of evaluating management training is named kirkpatricks model. This has 4 steps as described below: Step1. Reaction Step2. Learning Step3. Behaviour Step4. Results : : : : How well did the trainees like the programme? What principles, facts & techniques were learned? What changes in job Behaviour resulted? What were the tangible results?

For the evaluation exercises to be effective, it is very important that training objectives are carefully though and framed.

Why Evaluation? Training is done with specific objective. Hence, evaluation of training is a must. It is necessary in order to determine: If the development objectives were achieved.

50

The effectiveness of the methods of instructions. If the best and most economical training activities were conducted Evaluation also helps to tell us about the quality of the training on the one hand and the effect that it has created on the learners, on the other. Systematic evaluation can point out the weaknesses in the programmes so that they could be corrected in future programmes. It can also indicate the extent to which the learners have learned what is taught in the class, the extent to which they have transferred this learning to the work situation and the results yielded thereafter.

When to evaluate: The evaluation process normally starts right from the stage when the inauguration stage of training or when the trainees reach the campus: during training: and after training, say, form three months to one year. Evaluation at the inauguration stage will help to compare the laid down objective and contents of the programme with the expectations of the participants. This process will thus help the programme designers to change content of the programme to match the participants expectations and objectives. This evaluation is known as the pretraining evaluation.

51

Intermediate is done when training is in progress. This can be done either on a day-to-day basis or at the training. Day-to-day evaluation is convenient when the programme duration is long, say exceeding 3 days. Reaction: The first level involves reaction measures, or the participants feelings about the program. Reaction information is usually gathered by questionnaire during or immediately after the program. At least two aspects of reaction should be assessed: Did the trainee enjoy the program, and do they think the program will be useful to them. Learning: The second level of evaluation has to do with learning. Learning measures assess the degree to which trainees have mastered the concepts, information, and skills that the training tried to impart. Learning is assessed during and or at the end of the training program with paper and pencil tests, performance tests and graded simulation exercises. Behavior: On-the-job Behavior is the third level of evaluation. Behavior measures ask whether employees are doing things differently on the job after training, whether they are visibly using what they have been taught. In essence, this is transfer of training. Results: The final level of evaluation involves results measures. At this level, the impact of the training program on the work group or organization as a whole is assessed objectively. The appropriate objective measures to use depend on the

52

content and objectives of the training. Samples measures of results include cost savings, profit, productivity, quality, accidents, turnover, and employee attitude.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research can be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information in any branch of knowledge. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment. Research is , thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement.

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH:

Research inculcates scientific and inductive thinking and it promotes the development of logical habits of thinking and organization. The purpose of research is to discover answer to question through the application of scientific procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the hidden truth, which has not been discovered yet. Though each research study has its own specific purpose, we may think of research objectives as falling not a number of following broad groupings:

To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it (Exploratory or formularize research studies)

70

 To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group (Descriptive research studies)

To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is associated with something else. (Diagnostic Research Studies)

To test a hypotheses of a casual relationship between variables (hypothesis testing research studies)

This research is an amalgamation of both formularize as well as descriptive research, as it reflects on the present satisfaction level of the employees at , PNB BANK regarding the various training and development programmes being conducted here. In the process, it also aims to collect more detailed information on the subject of training and development itself.

RESEARCH APPROACHES There are two basic approached to research, quantitative approach and the qualitative approach. The former involves the generation of data in quantitative form, which can be subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis in a formal and rigid

71

manner. This approach is further sub-divided into inferential approach is to form a database form which to infer characteristics or relationship of a population. This usually means survey research where a sample of population is studied to determine its characteristics and it is then inferred that the population has the same characteristics. Qualitative approach to research is concerned with subjective assessment of attitudes, opinions and behavior. Research in such a situation is a function of researchers insight and impressions. Such an approach to research generates results either in non-quantitative form or in the form, which are no subjected to rigorous quantitative analysis.

This research follows both the inferential quantitative and qualitative approach. The questionnaires circulated to collect the relevant information have been analyzed ion the basis of rating is based on 5 scales and then, aggregate of the rating of all the questions of a group has been taken to find out the percentage of each response to that group.

72

RESEARCH PROCESS FOLLOWED: Research process consists of a series of actions or steps necessary to effectively carryout research and the desired sequencing of these steps. The various steps involved in a research process are not mutually exclusive, not are they separate or distinct. However, the following order concerning various steps provides a useful procedural guideline regarding the research process and has been used to carry out this research:

FORMULATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM At the very beginning the researcher, singles out the problem, he / she wants to study in specific terms. Here, for this purpose and extensive study of available literature was done. The training and development policies were studies from the personal manual as well as some information brochures made available by the training department at , PNB BANK. No literature was available of any study conducted earlier on a similar topic. The subject matter related to the topic. Training and Development was also examined from the available literature i.e. books, manuals etc. by this review the extent of available of the data of other materials was known and this led to a specification of

73

the problem in a more meaningful context. After specifying the problem, a synopsis was submitted to the company for approval.

PREPAIRING THE RESEARCH DESIGN: The function of research design is to provide for the collecting of the relevant information and data with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. But the way of achieving all this depends mainly on the purpose of the research. Here, the purpose of the study is both exploration and description

THE MEANS OF OBTAINING INFORMATION: In this research case, a structure red questionnaire was used with close-ended questions with the exception of three questions that required descriptive answers. The time available for research 1month and for the completion of this research, the time limit was 2month.Explanation of the way in which selected means of obtaining information will be organized and the reasoning for the selection.

Data collection methods Primary data: Data observed or collected directly from first-hand experience. And I was go through as interviews and questionnaire.

74

There are many methods of collecting primary data and the main methods include: Questionnaire Interviews Focus group interviews Observation Case studies Diaries portfolios

Secondary data: Publish data and the data collected in the past or other parties is called secondary data. Magazine HR Manual Internet Newspaper

75

LIMITATIONS Best possible efforts have been made to make this study as comprehensive and representative as possible. Actually, this project is not done in headquarter of , PNB BANK which is in Dehradun from where all training programs developed and conducted so I could not take feedback from the top management who are involves in making training programs in , PNB BANK. Since attitudes are influenced by social background as well, the results may not be reflective of the opinion of the entire organization.

FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS

While collecting data, many of the respondents share their views on many of the questions raised and related matters. It was observed that the top management at the head quarters is motivated to improve companys performance to achieve the organizational effectiveness and in particular to make work culture more open. The employees hold positive attitude towards training. Many of those sampled feel: 1. Training is imparting of skills to an employee to increase the proficiency in a particular job.
2. Training seeks to PNB Bankfy employees behaviour and attitude, induces a

sense of belongingness in the employees which benefits the organization at large and improves organizational effectiveness.
3. Training boosts up an employees morale which leads to better performance

and productivity.
4. It enhances the commitment of an employee to the organization and thus

decreases attrition rate. 5. Training is a must and should be according to ones job.

98

6. The trainee has to know vision and mission of the organization. Only 50% of

employees are aware about the vision and mission of , PNB BANK when being selected for training. 7. Training is given to employees by recognizing their area of deficiency. No training is imparted to the employees on the basis of giving promotion upon completion.
8. The Return of investment made on the training and activity are not measured

properly. Employees are feeling that the return on investment made for training is more than the expected gain. During the interaction a few sources of dissatisfaction amongst the employee was discovered which is reflected in the light of their suggestions.

99

SUGGESTIONS

The major and foremost problem is that there seems to be a missing communication link between the top management and the employees. Hence there is a strong need for creating a conducive work culture characterized by two way communication channels.

Training should be need based. Also after training new skills acquired by the employee should be put to appropriate use.

There should be a proper feel of all types of training imparted.

The training should be given on the basis of the job requirement be it behavioral or job specific.

Training should be job oriented and should be at regular intervals. Training should be compulsory and should be on a yearly pattern.

Training should be more technical and more work related.

Training must be link to individual career development plan. Training evaluation and effectiveness monitoring. Training should be more structured. Feedback should be taken from the trainee. The benefit of the training to the organization to be measured/evaluated.

100

 More trainings on personality development and coping with work pressure should be conducted rather than trainings on theoretical subjects/topics. The identification of training needs and placing right man at right place after training is very much importance. After the training, there should be a test to evaluate the involvement of the trainee during course of the training. 75% training by planned intervention of management required, 25% training by individual choice should be more.

Long duration training should be divided into smaller modules of one week each with enough time for practical/labs and implementation.

Employees consider maintaining the people trained in specialized field in relevant assignments.

Senior employees give their regards to UNNATI PRAYAS and SUPPER UNNATI PRAYAS programs about the career development.

Training related to new change of policies should be given time to time as and when new things come.

Suitable training to persons performing specific tasks and not just for namesake. Implement online T& D module for maximizing returns on investment made through trainings.
101

CONCLUSIONS

The detailed analysis of the data in light of findings observations leads us to the following conclusion: The human resource executives should be exposed to lot of management programs More experienced and senior executive should be involved in training sessions and for experience sharing sessions Support and motivation should be taken by senior for the juniors. Employee feels the lack of adequate upward communication system. Means communication barrier that seems to exist between top level executives and lower level employees.

The employees should aware about the criteria for selection and they should aware about the vision and mission of the organization when being selected for training programs.

Training should be more relevant to the job and need contribute to trainees knowledge to the fullest extent.

Training also to impart to the employee based on giving promotion, not just only for the employees who are found inefficient. This helps in motivating the employees and maintains the effectiveness of training.
