PREFACE
A BBA degree stands for Bachelor in Business
Administration. BBA degree focuses on developing
important managerial skills in the aspirants. While doing
the BBA, students choose their respective areas of
specialization on the basis of their specific interests.
Some opt for finance; others prefer marketing as their
majors. Some choose HRM studies as their majors; while
others go for majors in IT and IS. Their choice makes
them specialized in their specifically chosen area.
There is an old saying that Businesses start with flicks and ends with conflicts. History
has observed that majority of problems in business environment are always people related and if
mangers ignore these problems then these problems can turn up lethal for the health of
organization. Young mangers acquire theoretical knowledge of management from their academic
curriculum but Einstein once said that books are Humans fastest friends but ONLY BOOKS
are their deadliest enemies. Theoretical knowledge is of no use if not applied and rectified on a
practical basis especially in the field of human resource management. Through Practical
internships in known industrial establishments young mangers learn some hands on skills of
management and they come to know the real business environment. Training for a young
Manager is just like feeding a program of infra-red pathway to the scanner of a ballistic missile,
which finally helps to hit the specific target in a specific way. I found an opportunity to do this
work at NFL, BATHINDA. This experience really boasted my confidence and elaborated my
knowledge about the crucial function of HR in the organizations.

1.1 Introduction to HR
Human Resource Management is an art of managing people at work in such a manner that they
give their best to the organization. In simple words, Human Resource Management refers to the
quantitative aspects of employees working in an organization. Human Resource Management is
also a management function concerned with hiring, motivating, and maintaining people in an
organization. It focuses on people in organization.
HRM involves the application of management functions and principles. The functions and
principles are applied to acquisitioning, developing, maintaining, and remunerating employees in
organizations.

1.2.1 Definition:
An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of effective training.
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is defined as the Identification of training requirements and the
most cost effective means of meeting those requirements.
The purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a gap between what is
required for effective performance and present level of performance.
Training objectives are one of the most important parts of training program. While some people
think of training objective as a waste of valuable time. The counterargument here is that
resources are always limited and the training objectives actually lead the design of training. It
provides the clear guidelines and develops the training program in less time because objectives
focus specifically on needs. It helps in adhering to a plan.
1.2.3 Training Need arises at three levels:
Organizational Level:
Training need analysis at organizational level focuses on strategic planning, business need, and
goals. It starts with the assessment of internal environment of the organization such as, procedures,
structures, policies, strengths, and weaknesses and external environment such as opportunities and
threats.
STRENGTHS:
WEAKNESSES:
Dependence on mature markets
Lack of scales
OPPORTUNITIES:
Strategic acquisitions
THREATS:
Intense competition
After doing the SWOT analysis, weaknesses can be dealt with the training interventions, while
strengths can further be strengthened with continued training. Threats can be reduced by
identifying the areas where training is required. And, opportunities can be exploited by balancing it
against costs. For this approach to be successful, the HR department of the company requires to be
involved in strategic planning. In this planning, HR develops strategies to be sure that the
employees in the organization have the required Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSAs) based
on the future KSAs requirements at each level.
Individual Level:
Training need analysis at individual level focuses on each and every individual in the organization.
At this level, the organization checks whether an employee is performing at desired level or the
performance is below expectation. If the difference between the expected performance and actual
performance comes out to be positive, then certainly there is a need of training.
However, individual competence can also be linked to individual need. The methods that are used
to analyze the individual need are:
Peer appraisal
Competency assessments
Subordinate appraisal
Client feedback
Customer feedback
Self-assessment or self-appraisal
Operational Level:
Training Need Analysis at operational level focuses on the work that is being assigned to the
employees. The job analyst gathers the information on whether the job is clearly understood by an
employee or not. He gathers this information through technical interview, observation,
psychological test; questionnaires asking the closed ended as well as open ended questions, etc.
Today, jobs are dynamic and keep changing over the time. Employees need to prepare for these
changes. The job analyst also gathers information on the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that
will be required in the future. Based on the information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is
conducted.
Training Need Analysis process is a series of activities conducted to identify problems or other
issues in the workplace, and to determine whether training is an appropriate response. The needs
analysis is usually the first step taken to cause a change. This is mainly because a needs analysis
specifically defines the gap between the current and the desired individual and organizational
performances.
In all three situations, the starting point is a desire to effect a change. Given this, you must know
how the people who will experience change , perceive it. In the absence of a needs analysis, you
may find employees resistant to change and reluctant to training.
When properly done, a needs analysis is a wise investment for the organization. It saves time,
money and effort by working on the right problems. Organizations that fail to support needs
analysis make costly mistakes; they use training when another method would have been more
effective; they use too much or too little training, or they use training but fail to follow up on it. A
well-performed analysis provides the information that can lead to solutions that focus on the areas
of greatest need.
In many ways, the needs analysis is like detective work; you follow up on every lead, check every
piece of information and examine every alternative before drawing any solid conclusions. Only
then you can be sure of having the evidence on which to base a sound strategy for problem solving.
A needs analysis is not a one-time event. Professional organizations administer needs analysis at
regular intervals, usually every year or two.
Training needs will differ with the backgrounds of the employees to be trained, and their present
status in the organization. Basically, a candidate for training may come from any one of three
groups:
1. New Hires
2. Veteran Employees
Consideration of the varying needs of these groups provides a frame of reference for discussing
and suggesting the methods of identifying training needs:
New Hires
Addition of new employees creates high and low peaks in placing new persons into the training
program. This problem may be solved by a program where progression is made in different
sequences. It will eliminate a jam that will occur if all phases of the program must be taken in a
definite sequence.
The people in this category offer a real challenge to the training department. There- fore, the
number and amount of training required by this category should be carefully considered. Often the
retraining and upgrading of former employees can be very rewarding for training instructors. At
least two schools of thought exist as to how these employees should be rekindled. There are
advantages in keeping this group intact and tailoring the program to their needs. On the other hand,
this category of employees can also make significant contribution to training if they are co-
mingled with the new hires.
There are a number of practical methods you can use to gather data about employees performance.
Each works well in given circumstances; therefore, you must determine which will be the best for
you. None of these methods can stand alone. Always use at least two, if for no other reason to
validate your findings. One of those you choose should always be observation.
1. Observation
In this approach, an employees performance itself is your source of information. You evaluate a
workers performance through first-hand observation and analysis. This is best accomplished by
watching the worker and playing the role of non-participating observer. This means that you
watch and listen and evaluate what you see and hear, but do not get involved in his work process
in any way. To make this activity more productive, use a checklist to remind you of what to look
for and take notes.
The objective during observations is to identify both the strengths to build on and the
deficiencies to overcome. A key advantage of using direct observation in the needs analysis is
that you gain first-hand knowledge and understanding of the job being performed and the
strengths and weaknesses of the relevant worker.
2. Interviews
The use of interviews in conducting the needs analysis is strongly urged. The prime value of
interview guides is that they ensure the same types of data from all sources. This allows you to
determine whether a piece of information is one persons opinion, or part of a widespread
perception. Since the interview guide forces you to ask each worker a number of predetermined
questions, you must select those questions that are essential to what you are trying to learn.
3. Questionnaires
A questionnaire is a sort of interview on paper. You create your own questionnaire by writing
down all the questions you want employees to answer for you. Then you mail it to them and
await their responses. The key advantage of a questionnaire is that you can include every person
from whom you want input. Employees can complete the questionnaire when and where they
choose. You need not travel and spend time with all respondents. Every employee is asked the
identical questions, and consequently data is very easy to compile and analyze.
4. Job Descriptions
Before establishing a job description, a job analysis must be made. This job analysis involves a
thorough study of all responsibilities of the relevant job. It is companywide in scope and should be
detailed to such a degree that those conducting the training can use the job analysis as a yardstick
for their course content. After the job analysis phase has been completed, the writing of job
description and needs analysis is a relatively simple task. When an employees job description has
been defined, the trainer can easily tailor his training curriculum to a very close proximity of what
will be expected of the employees.
5. Problem Solving Conference
Another time-tested technique for gathering needs analysis material from employees is to conduct
periodic problem solving conferences which may take the form of or be part of a plan for a new
product, task or technology, or tied in with a training program. It is always helpful to utilize an
outside consultant to moderate such sessions. This outside sponsorship has a tendency of letting
the workers express their feelings about their organization, and the session can then be geared to
training needs. The current problems will evolve that represent potential areas for training.
6. Appraisal Reviews
The extent of an employees development depends on his motivations. Identifying the forces that
cause an employee to behave in a certain way may be useful in determining his individual training
needs and how to stimulate his desire to fulfil that need. An analysis of this kind, for example, may
determine that the employee has an urgent need for self-confidence. His individual program should
be made to stress the importance of attitude, skills etc., and any other assets that would give him
this self- confidence.
Performing a training needs analysis is the first step in the training process and is critical for a
successful program. The purpose of a needs analysis is to determine that training is the best
solution and identify what training is needed to fill the skill gap.
This step is often disregarded for reasons such as time constraints or lack of perceived value by
management. However, skipping the training needs analysis can cause major problems. Time,
resources and dollars may be wasted on training that was unnecessary or ineffective.
NFL is a Schedule A and a Mini Ratna Category-1 Company which was incorporated on 23rd
August, 1974 for implementation of two fertilizer plants, based on gasification technology of

Training needs analysis is the initial step in a cyclical process which contributes to the overall
training and educational strategy of staff in an organisation or a professional group. The cycle
commences with a systematic consultation to identify the learning needs of the population
considered, followed by course planning, delivery and evaluation. Although much has been written
about training needs analysis in relation to post-registration nursing education, there is
disagreement concerning its impact on the training cycle and its potential to influence service
delivery. This stimulated the literature review presented below. Initial searches of nursing
databases identified 266 works. Twenty three (8.6%) contained empirical findings relating to post-
registration nursing education in which assessment of training needs was presented as the major
aim. Most of these accounts were concerned with the training needs of nurses in more than one
organisation and were classified as macro-level training needs analysis. However, seven studies
were concerned with a single, specific organisation (micro-level training needs analysis). Despite
their smaller scale and more limited scope, micro-level training needs initiatives demonstrated
greater methodological rigour, were more likely to consider the stakeholder perspective, to
generate findings which could positively influence the rest of the training cycle and showed the
greatest potential for influencing service delivery and quality of patient care. The review drew
attention to the similarities between the training cycle and the audit cycle and resulted in the
development of a model which could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the process and
outcomes of future training needs analysis initiatives.
This article has looked at the basics of a training needs analysis, considering the broad model
itself. Thus a TNA is quite simply a way of identifying the existing gaps in either knowledge or
ability of the people in the organization to carry out the tasks that enable them to do their jobs. The
process assumes that the jobs people carry out have been defined in order that the business
objectives of the organization will be achieved. Thus training needs analysis will ensure people are
better able to do their jobs because they have improved their knowledge and their skills in relevant
areas.
Training Needs Assessment identifies the training that will successfully address any identified skill
deficits. It does this by surveying the skills that employees already have and those that they need,
and it helps you think about how to deliver the right training at the right time.
By looking at existing skills and competencies compared to the skills required to meet
organizational needs, you make an informed estimate of the training that has to be delivered. From
that point you can confidently develop a training program that addresses organizational objectives,
and ties into the strategic direction of the company. Understood in this way, you can see that
Training Needs Assessment is much more than simple data gathering. Rather, it is a process that
starts with gathering data and ends with a training plan.
A needs analysis is not a one-time event. Professional organizations administer needs analysis at
regular intervals, usually every year or two. When properly done, a needs analysis is a wise
investment for the organization. It saves time, money and effort by working on the right problems.
Organizations that fail to support needs analysis make costly mistakes; they use training when
another method would have been more effective; they use too much or too little training, or they
use training but fail to follow up on it. A well-performed analysis provides the information that can
lead to solutions that focus on the areas of greatest need.
Needs assessments can be valuable tools, if they are done correctly. Not only can they pinpoint
training and other performance improvement needs, they can also help you determine practical and
realistic solutions that can help your organization achieve the bottom-line business results it
requires. This article outlines some common misconceptions about needs assessments, and offers a
high-level overview of how you can effectively utilize needs assessments to help you maximize
this potentially powerful tool .Needs assessments can serve as a valuable tool to help in managing
the rapid changes taking place within organizations today - including mergers and acquisitions,
corporate restructuring, downsizing, globalization, and technological advances, just to name a few.
Needs assessments are appropriate when:
Your organization is implementing a change that will have a large impact on one or more
areas.

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
All employees in the organisation say that training need analysis practices are done.
Majority of the respondents felt that training need analysis is conducted by the supervisor
observation, and rest is done through questionnaire, performance management discussion,
job analysis, interviews and assessment centres.
More than half of the respondents say training need analysis is done on quarterly basis.
From all the respondents it is supervisor who initiates the maximum training need
analysis in the organisation.
Majority of the employees said workshops to be an effective source of training and rest
were in favour of computer based training, classroom training and web conferencing.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Promotional activities are very less, therefore they should invest a considerable amount in
radio and newspaper advertisement as this is the main source with which youth connect
easily. This would definitely help to create and increase BRAND AWARENESS.
NFL should not depend on brand name, brand name is just a source to provide some base
customers, and it is the institutes responsibility to generate more customers from existing
customers.
According to the survey results, trainees are not satisfied with infrastructural facilities
being provided, so NFL should make considerable efforts in order to improve upon the
same.
NFL should also work on lowering the attrition rates among its employees.
