CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION

People are the assets on which competitive advantage is built, whether in the public or private sector, whether in the corporate world or in the world of education. In the words of the latest theory on human resource management, people are an inimitable asset. People and their skills is the one thing that competitor organizations cannot imitate. So, human resource management and the practices associated with it have become accepted by managers in all forms of organizations as one of the most important strategic levers to ensure continuing success. Human resource management !"#$ is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization%s most valued assets & the people working there who individually and collectively contributes to the achievement of the ob'ectives of the business. (he !uman "esources #anagement widely replaced the phrase Personnel #anagement as a representation of managing the people in the association. (he !uman "esources #anagement always functions for the welfare of the employees, as they are the valuable resource of the organization HRM: where d d t come !rom" (he modern concept of human resource management finds its roots in the early )*th century notion of employee welfare. (he large factories that evolved in the +nited States in the late ,- th and early )*th centuries presented managers with ma'or problems of workforce control. Part of the solution to

the problem of re&establishing management control on the factory floor was found in the development of Scientific #anagement. .rom its employee welfare roots, personnel management spread within the +S/ and later into 0urope and an increasing number of issues concerned with the management of people in organizations came to find a home in the personnel departments of the mid&)*th century. 1y the ,-2*s, the notion of personnel management had become well&established with a number of clear areas of responsibility attached to it including3 , 4 selection and recruitment ) 4 training and development 5 4 pay and conditions 6 4 industrial relations 7 4 employee welfare 2 4 8ccupational health and safety. Modern HRM In the ,-9*s, the concept of human resource management began to gain ground at the e:pense of personnel management. (he integration of human resource management practices was to create an organizational culture that allowed workers to identify their own success with that of the corporation. (hus, organizational or corporate culture became an important element in understanding the competitive success of firms and was a ma'or theme of management thinking in the early ,-9*s.

Tra n ng and De#e$o%ment


In the past, organizations developed managers by recognizing an individual;s knowledge about the organization;s products or services. (hese
)

individuals were promoted to first&level positions that included work direction. 8ne cannot say they supervised in the current sense of the word, that is, they usually didn%t delegate, support career counseling, conduct performance reviews, etc. "ather, they told workers what to do and workers did it. (hese work directors had little training about supervision, e.g., about delegating, interpersonal skills, stress management, career developments, etc. In 7*s to 9*s management training focused on covering certain standard topics or types of activities in the organization, e.g., planning, organizing, finances, sales, accounting, etc. !owever at that time, manager in the workplace seldom solves a problem by applying his or her knowledge of one specific topic then goes on to solve the ne:t problem but not much training was provided to e:ecutives as well as managers. <ith the !uman "elations movement, training programs recognized the need to cultivate supervisory skills, e.g., motivating, coaching, mentoring, etc.

Tra n ng
(raining is the ac=uisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies as a result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. (raining is an organized procedure by which people learn knowledge and skills for a specific purpose.(he basic training is re=uired for all trades, occupations or professions. >ow a days the need for training is recognized to continue training beyond initial =ualifications to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working

life. People within many professions and occupations may refer to this sort of training as professional development.

D !!erence &etween Tra n ng and De#e$o%ment


(raining is distinct from development. (raining is a short term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which non managerial personnel learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. ?evelopment is a long term educational process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which managerial personnel learn conceptual and theoretical knowledge for general purpose. (raining refers to instructions in technical and mechanical operations like operation of a machine. (raining helps an individual learn how to perform his present 'ob satisfactorily. ?evelopment involves preparing the individual for future 'ob and growth of individual in all respects. (raining is mostly the result of initiative taken by the management. It is the result of some outside motivation development is mostly the result of internal motivation. ?evelopment complements training because human resourses can e:ert their full potential only when the learning process goes far beyond simple routine. ?evelopment is a future oriented training, focusing on the personal growth of the employee. (raining and development process is self directed or others directed. .or self directed informal training will serve the purpose whereas in other directed formal training is done.

(raining aims to help the e:isting employees in improving their levels of performance on their present 'ob assignments. In case of new employees, training has its ob'ective to provide them with basic knowledge and skills which they need for an intelligent performance of their specific skills.

7.

(he technical changes become like automation, highly computerized systems, which may in their turn creates new problems, new methods, new products, new 'obs, new procedure, new skills& all these make the functioning of training a must in the organization as the otherwise the employees will find themselves helpless to handle and adapt to changes.

2.

Sometimes it is not possible for the management to fill in some important work position from outside. +nder such conditions, the apprenticeship programmes aiming at improving the skills of the present employee come to the aid of the company to tide over the position by making available their re=uirements of the personnel from within the organization.

T(%es o! Tra n ng and De#e$o%ment


In!orma$ Tra n ng Informal training and development is rather casual and incidental. (ypically, there are no specified training goals as such, nor are their ways to evaluate if the training actually accomplished these goals or not. (his type of training and development occurs so naturally that many people probably aren%t aware that they%re in a training e:perience at all. Probably the most prominent form of informal training is learning from e:perience on the 'ob. 0:amples are informal discussions among employees about a certain topic, book discussion groups, and reading newspaper and 'ournal articles about a topic. )orma$ Tra n ng .ormal training is based on some standard. .ormal training might include declaring certain learning ob'ectives or an e:tent of knowledge, skills or abilities that will be reached by learners at the end of the training by using a variety of learning methods to reach the ob'ectives. / systematic formal training involves carefully proceeding through the following phases3 a$ /ssessing what knowledge, skills and @or abilities are needed by learnersA b$ ?esigning the training, including identifying learning goals and associated ob'ectives, training methods to reach the ob'ectives, and

means to carefully evaluate whether the ob'ectives have been reached or notA c$ d$ e$ ?eveloping the training methods and materialsA Implementing the trainingA and 0valuating whether ob'ectives have been reached or not, in addition to the =uality of the training methods and materials themselves.

Reasons !or Tra n ng and De#e$o%ment


(raining and development can be initiated for a variety of reasons for an employee or group of employees, e.g.

<hen a performance appraisal indicates performance improvement is needed. /s part of an overall professional development program. (o help an employee to be eligible for a planned change in role in the organization.

(o test the operation of a new performance management system. (o train about a specific topic.

*ene! ts o! Tra n ng and De#e$o%ment


(here are several benefits for supervisors to conduct training among employees. (hese benefits include3

Increased 'ob satisfaction. Increased morale among employees. Increased employee motivation.
B

Increased efficiencies in processes, resulting in financial gain and better =uality and =uantity of production.

Increased capacity to adopt new technologies and methods. / trained worker is more adaptable to change than an untrained person.

Increased innovation in strategies and products. "educed employee turnover and absenteeism. / trained person will be more satisfied with the 'ob than the untrained one. So there will be less turnover and absenteeism with training.

0nhanced company image by conducting ethics training. "isk management, e.g., training about se:ual harassment, diversity training.

Cess supervision will be re=uired by trained employee. (rained employee may not give any opportunity to the supervisor for complaint.

Cess wastage will be there. /s the trained workers may waste more materials or damage machines and e=uipment and may not cause accidents.

#ore employee development will be there. (raining first helps in finding talent in employees and then developing it to the ma:imum.

Ident ! cat on o! tra n ng needs


(raining needs are to be identified to know what educational courses or activities should be provided to employees to improve their work

productivity. In order to identify the training needs we can focus on the following areas3 &

(o pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity. (o decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her 'ob performance.

(o differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues.

/nd to bring about a match between individual aspirations and organizational goals.

Identification of training needs if done properly provides the basis on which all other training activities. /lso re=uiring careful thought and analysis, it is a process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people%s learning is important to them, and the reputation of the organization is also at stake.

D !!erent +e#e$s at wh ch tra n ng s to &e Conducted


Identification of training needs can be done at three levels to ascertain three kinds of needs3 & Organ ,at ona$ Needs (his concern the performance of the organization as a whole. !ere identification of training needs is done to find out whether the organization is meeting its current performance standards and ob'ectives and if not, e:ploring ways in which training or learning might help it to do so. Sometimes organizational training needs are also identified when the organization decides that it has to adopt a ma'or new strategy, create a new
-

product or service, undergo a large&scale change programme, or develop significant new relationships, such as 'oining with others to form new partnerships. -rou% Needs (raining needs are nowadays even identified at the group level. (raining needs here are concerned basically with the performance of a particular group, which may be a team, department, function, sub&unit, or so on. It is used to find out how efficiently a particular team or group goes about its business and meets its current ob'ectives. Ind # dua$ Needs (hese concern the performance of one or more individuals as individuals, rather than as members of a group$. !ere identification of training needs is about finding out to what e:tent individuals need to learn or be trained in order to bring their current performance up to the re=uired level as a result of changes in methods and processes that call for new competencies and skills. It also sees to it that there is continuous improvement initiative taken by them. #oreover it also helps to find out whether individuals are comfortable in working across boundaries, with people from different backgrounds. (his is especially important because there is so much work force diversity observed today in organisations that it has become impossible to retain workforce, which is not fle:ible enough to accommodate such changes into their daily work schedule.

.ources !or Ident !( ng Tra n ng Needs

,*

(here are three sources for identifying training needs. /lthough they are independent sources for gathering the necessary data but it is usually beneficial if they are considered complementary to one another as the ob'ective of the e:ercise is to prepare as consolidated data of training needs as possible. (he three sources are as follows3 & /o& Pro! $e:It is a comprehensive description of all the functions and the responsibilities that a person has to carry out in due course of his 'ob. It is very common for us sometimes to find that people of a particular department more or less perform the same kind of 'ob and therefore a comparative study can be done on their performance to pinpoint on the training needs of those people who have not performed up to the mark. Dob analysis is included in order to have a realistic and systematic appraisal of training needs. Inorder to do this first we need to break up the functions and responsibilities into categories. >e:t we have to classify these activities on the basis of their relative importance to the nature of the 'ob. /nd lastly we can compute a priority listing of these tasks in order to have a catalogue of knowledge, skills and attitudes re=uired for effective performance of the 'ob. E0%er ences o! the tra n ng agenc( It is very common for organizations nowadays to hire professional training agencies in order to look into the training matters. (he training agency and the trainers thus should also draw from their own e:periences of organizing programmes for comparable groups or in similar areas. !owever, earlier e:periences can only serve to facilitate the process. It cannot be the sole basis, as training needs of ma'ority of organizations are very specific.
,,

Pre-tra n ng sur#e( o! the %art c %ant1s needs (his is suggested as the best way to conduct a training need identification ./ pre&training survey is nothing but a survey of the needs and e:pectations of the participants well in advance of the programme. /nd in this e:ercise it is better to include the superiors also as they are in a good position to provide necessary data on the training needs of their associates, especially in conte:t of their performance. (his is generally done in a systematic manner with the help of a structured =uestionnaire in order to reflect the genuine desire to involve the participants and the organization in the planning process. !owever it might happen in certain cases that it is not possible to actively involve the superiors due to various reasons like lack of time etc but in that case at least they must be kept fully informed of the proceedings.

*ene! ts o! Tra n ng Needs Assessment


>eeds assessment helps diagnose the causes of performance deficiency in employees that re=uire remedial actions. (his being a generalized statement there are certain specific benefits of needs assessment. (hey are as follows3 &

(he organization is informed about the broader needs of the participants. (hrough this process it may be possible that certain new training programmes, which were, previously not in their list may come to the forefront. (he organization is able to reduce the perception gap between the participant and his@her boss about their needs and e:pectations from the training programme.

(he organization is also able to pitch its course input closer to the specific needs of the participants.

It also saves a lot of money for the organization as otherwise money is 'ust unnecessarily wasted on those training programmes, which are either not needed by the employees or they have no interest in undertaking them.

Castly, time, which is the most important resource today, is also saved, as the training programmes conducted are the ones, which are actually needed by the participants.

Process !or Tra n ng

(here are various steps in the training are needed to be followed. Process of training is as follows3& 16 Determ n ng tra n ng needs: - (he organization%s needs and identify training goals which, when reached, will e=uip learner%s with knowledge and skills to meet the organization%s needs. +sually this phase also includes identifying when training should occur and who should attend as learners. (raining needs can be identified through the following types of analysis 3 a7 Organ ,at ona$ ana$(s s3 & it involves the study of entire organization in terms of its ob'ectives, its resources, resource allocation, growth potential, its environment. Its purpose is to determine where training emphasis should be placed within the organization. 6 Ana$(s s o!

Methods o! tra n ng and de#e$o%ment


(he method by which training is delivered often varies based on the needs of the company, the trainee, and on the task being performed. (he method should suit the audience, the content, the businessGH environment, and the learning ob'ective. Ideally, the method chosen will motivate employees to learn, help employees prepare themselves for learning, enable the trainees to apply and practice what they%ve been taught, help trainees retain and transfer what they have learned, and integrate performance with other skills and knowledge. 8ther factors affecting the choice of a training method include3 &/ge, gender, or level of education of the trainees &Cearning styles of the trainees &>umber of trainees &1udget &(rainer%s skills and training style (here are various methods for providing training which are as follows3&

,9

On the /o& tra n ng (his is the most common method of training. (he trainee is placed on the 'ob and the manager or mentor shows the trainee how to do the 'ob. (o be successful, the training should be done according to a structured program that uses task lists, 'ob breakdowns, and performance standards as a lesson plan. (here is often a tendency to have a person learn by doing the 'ob. /o& Instruct on Techn ;ue >/IT7:- Dob Instruction (echni=ue DI($ uses a strategy which focus on knowledge, skills and attitudes development.DI( considers four steps3& Plan (his step includes a written breakdown of the work to be done because the trainer and the trainee must understand that documentation is must and important for the familiarity of work. / trainer who is aware of the work well is likely to do many things and in the process might miss few things. (herefore, a structured analysis and proper documentation ensures that all the points are covered in the training program. (he second step is to find out what the trainee knows and what training should focus on. (hen, the ne:t step is to create a comfortable atmosphere for the trainees; i.e. proper orientation program, availing the resources, familiarizing trainees with the training program, etc. Present In this step, trainer provides the synopsis of the 'ob while presenting the participants the different aspects of the work. <hen the trainer finished, the trainee demonstrates how to do the 'ob and why is that done in that specific manner. (rainee actually demonstrates the procedure while emphasizing the key points and safety instructions.
,-

Trial (his step actually a kind of rehearsal step, in which trainee tries to perform the work and the trainer is able to provide instant feedback. In this step, the focus is on improving the method of instruction because a trainer considers that any error if occurring may be a function of training not the trainee. (his step allows the trainee to see the after effects of using an incorrect method. (he trainer then helps the trainee by =uestioning and guiding to identify the correct procedure. Follow-up In this step, the trainer checks the trainee;s 'ob fre=uently after the training program is over to prevent bad work habits from developing.

Coach ng Eoaching is one of the training methods, which is considered as a corrective method for inade=uate performance. (he coaches are e:perts most of the time outside consultants. It is one&to&one interaction who set ma'or goals to accomplish, develop an action plan, and support the learner to accomplish the plan. (he learner drives these activities and the coach provides continuing feedback and support. It can be done on phone, meetings, through e&mails, chat. Mentor ng !opefully, learners find e:perienced managers in the workplace who are willing to take learners Iunder their wingI and provide ongoing mentoring. #entors help employees solve problems both through training them in skills

)*

and through modeling effective attitudes and behaviors. #entoring can take place before, during, or after a shift. It gives the trainee individual attention and immediate feedback. It also helps the trainee get information regarding the business culture and organizational structure. If a properly trained mentor is not chosen, the trainee can pick up bad habits. A%%rent cesh %s .or centuries, apprenticeships were the ma'or approach to learning a craft. (he apprentice worked with a recognized master craftsperson. Particularly during times of low unemployment, businesses are eager to get any kind of help they can find. Seeking an apprenticeship may be a very useful and effective way to eventually develop a new skill. /o& Ass gnments Dob assignments are wonderful opportunities from which to learn. <e 'ust aren%t used to thinking of them that way. (o cultivate learning, consider having employees write short reports, including an overview of what they did, why they did it, what areas of knowledge and skills were used, how the 'ob might have been done better, and what areas of knowledge and skills would be needed to improve the 'ob.

),

/o& Rotat ons .or the e:ecutive, 'ob rotation takes on different perspectives. (he e:ecutive is usually not simply going to another department. In some vertically integrated organizations, for e:ample, where the supplier is actually part of same organization or subsidiary, 'ob rotation might be to the supplier to see how the business operates from the supplier point of view. Cearning how the organization is perceived from the outside broadens the e:ecutive;s out$oo8 on the process of the organization. 8r the rotation might be to a foreign office to provide a global perspective. .or managers being developed for e:ecutive roles, rotation to different functions in the company is regular carried out. O!! The /o& Tra n ng Ro$e P$a( Tra n ng Method: "ole play is a simulation in which each participant is given a role to play. (rainees are given with some information related to description of the role, concerns, ob'ectives, responsibilities, emotions, etc. (hen, a general description of the situation, and the problem that each one of them faces, is given. .or instance, situation could be strike in factory, managing conflict, two parties in conflict, scheduling vacation days, etc. 8nce the participants read their role descriptions, they act out their roles by interacting with one another. "ole Plays helps in developing interpersonal skills and communication skills, Eonflict resolution, Jroup decision making. Programmed Instruct on >PI7 Programmed instruction is a Eomputer&based training that comprises of graphics, multimedia, te:t that is connected to one another and is stored in

memory. Programmed instruction is the procedure of guiding the participants strategically through the information in a way that facilitates the most effective and efficient learning. It provides the participant with content, information, asks =uestions, and based on the answer goes to the ne:t level of information i.e. if the trainee gives the correct answerA one branch moves the trainee forward to the new information. /nd if the trainee gives the wrong answer then different branch is activated, taking the trainee back to the review. (his method allows the trainees to go through the content according to the individual speed, and capability. (hose trainees, who respond better, move through the content rapidly. In programmed instruction, trainees receive information in substantial amount and then tested on their retention of information. If the trainees are not able to retain the information, they are referred back to the original information. If the trainees retain the information, they are referred to the ne:t log of information that is to be learned. Programmed Instruction also comes in Printed form i.e. books, (ape, Interactive Fideo, etc. Internsh %s Internships are offered usually by organizations to college students wanting to find work e:perience during the summer months. (he internships offer precious, real&life 'ob e:perience and the organizations often get skilled, highly dedicated service. #any times, interns go on to be hired by the organizations, as well. Con!erence (he conference training method is a good problem&solving approach. / group considers a specific problem or issue and they work to reach

It is more often used in combination with some other techni=ues. In this method, some kind of process or behavior is videotaped and then is watched by the trainees. (he trainee first observes the behavior modeled in the video and then reproduces the behavior on the 'ob. In 1ehavior #odeling the skills that are re=uired to build up are defined, then a brief overview of the theory is provided to the trainers. (hen, trainees are given instructions that what specific learning points or critical behavior they have to watch. (hen the e:pert is used to model the suitable behaviors, after that the trainees are encouraged to practice the suitable behavior in a role play. (rainees are then provided with some opportunities to give reinforcement for appropriate imitation of the model;s behavior. In the end, trainer ensures that trainees appropriately reinforce the behavior on the work place 1ehavior modeling focuses on developing behavioral and interpersonal skills.

In this techni=ue, trainee is given some information about the role to be played such as, description, responsibilities, general conte:t about the role. (he trainee is then given the log of materials that make up the in&basket and asked to respond to materials within a particular time period. /fter all the trainees complete in&basket, a discussion with the trainer takes place. In this discussion the trainee describes the 'ustification for the decisions. (he trainer then provides feedback, reinforcing decisions made suitably or encouraging the trainee to increase alternatives for those made unsuitably. / variation on the techni=ue is to run multiple, simultaneous in&baskets in which each trainee receives a different but organized set of information. It is important that trainees must communicate with each other to accumulate the entire information re=uired to make a suitable decision. Case .tud es / case study is a description of a real or imagined situation which contains information that trainees can use to analyze what has occurred and why. (he trainees recommend solutions based on the content provided. It can present a wide variety of skills in which applying knowledge is important. (he trainer must be creative and very skilled at leading discussions, making points, and keeping trainees on track.

Pro'ects Pro'ects re=uire the trainees to do something on the 'ob which improves the business as well as helps them learn about the topic of training. It might involve participation on a team, the creation of a database, or the forming of a new process. (he type of pro'ect will vary by business and the skill level of the trainee. Pro'ects can be chosen which help solve problems or otherwise improve the operation. (rainees get first&hand e:perience in the topic of the training. Cittle time is needed to prepare the training e:perience. <ithout proper introduction to the pro'ect and its purpose, trainees may think they are doing somebody else;s work. /lso, if they do not have an interest in the pro'ect or there is no immediate impact on their own 'obs, it will be difficult to obtain and maintain their interest. Transact ona$ Ana$(s s (ransactional /nalysis offers a model of personality and dynamics of self and its relationship to others that makes possible a clear and meaningful understanding of behaviour. It is used in industry as a method of analyzing and understanding interpersonal behavior. <hen people interact there is a social transaction in which one person responds to another.

0valuation is the application of systematic methods to periodically and ob'ectively assess the effectiveness of programs in achieving e:pected results. (ypically, evaluators look for validity, accuracy and reliability in their evaluations. 0valuators are looking for evaluation approaches that are practical and relevant. (raining and development activities can be evaluated before, during and after the activities. (hese phases look at the following =uestions3& *e!ore the Im%$ementat on Phase

<ill the selected training and development methods really result in the employee%s learning the knowledge and skills needed to perform the task or carry out the roleL !ave other employee%s used the methods and been successfulL ?o the methods conform to the employee%s preferences and learning stylesL !ave the employee briefly review the methods, e.g., documentation, overheads, etc. ?oes the employee e:perience any difficulties understanding the methodsL

In the past, the public sector focused on the measurement of resources used while providing training, delivering training and how many training sessions are conducted, how many days training were delivered. !owever, now a day the focus is on the measurement of outcomes. (he organizations should look at the impacts of e:ecutive training on the level of knowledge of participants and, to the e:tent possible, the impact on the participants; use of this new knowledge in their 'ob and the e:tent to which this improves their 'ob performance. ?onald Mirkpatrick had suggested four steps of evaluation which are as follows3&

React on3 & (his level measures initial reactions of participants by =uestioning regarding their perceptions and satisfaction. 0valuation
)-

should be based on that whether their reaction are favorable or notL (heir reactions can be evaluated with the help of program evaluation sheets, interviews, =uestionnaires and participant comments throughout the program. Cearners might be asked to comment on whether they will use the new skills, if they plan to change their behavior, if they e:pect improvements in results.

=uestionnaires. (his level does not determine if participants liked the training or if the new behavior led to results, but it can determine the degree to which learning has been transferred to the post&training environment.
