Definition of Training:
Training is the process for providing required skills to the employee for doing the job
effectively, skilfully and qualitatively. Training of employees is not continuous, but it is
periodical and given in specified time. Generally training will be given by an expert or
professional in related field or job.
Training is required at every stage of work and for every person at work. To keep
themselves updated with the fast changing technologies, concepts, values and
environment, training plays a vital role. Training programmes are also necessary in any
organisation for improving the quality of work of the employees at all levels. It is also
required when a person is moved from one assignment to another of a different nature
Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is the
application of knowledge & gives people an awareness of rules & procedures to guide
their behavior. It helps in bringing about positive change in the knowledge, skills &
attitudes of employees. Thus, training is a process that tries to improve skills or add to
the existing level of knowledge so that the employee is better equipped to do his present
job or to mould him to be fit for a higher job involving higher responsibilities. It bridges
the gap between what the employee has & what the job demands.
Dale S. Beach defines training as “the organized procedure by which people learn knowledge
and/skill for a define purpose”
TNA is the method of determining if training need exist and, if it does, what training is
required to fill the gap TNA seeks to identify accurately the level of the present situation
in the target survey, interview, observation, secondary data or workshop
The gap between the present status and desired status may indicate problem that in
turn can be translated into training need

1. PURPOSE
The aim of training is to identify and develop competencies required for effective
functioning in the organization.
The above shall be ensured through an established and documented procedure, which
would capture the following:
- Identification of training needs
- Training Design
- Training Delivery
- Review of training effectiveness
2. SCOPE
This procedure applies to Executives of Ashok Leyland Limited.
The scope of this procedure addresses the methods of identifying training needs of
individuals.
2.6 Executives:
They are AL Executives.
5. PROCEDURE
4.2.1 TNI sheet : Based on TNI received, the HR department will prepare a tentative
annual and monthly Training Calendar and organize the training programs as per the
categorization done i.e. Technical, Behavioral, and Functional & Organizational trainings.
4.3.1 Training Calendar: It is a document that includes training need type, training
category, training program a period of one year. Training needs enlisted in Training Menu
are scheduled in the coming year. This is created to conduct the training programs and
facilitate the departmental head to nominate the specified participants for a particular
program in advance.
4.6 Updation in Learning Management System (LMS) : LMS is a system to capture the
attendance and man – hours for AL Executives. Scope of LMS is currently limited to AL
executives only. Once the training is done, executive individual record is updated in LMS
in Success Factor.
4.7 Training Evaluation: Training is evaluated based on Kirk Patrick’s 4-level Model of
measuring Training Effectiveness. At present, we are using specific levels of evaluation for
specific trainings only which are as follows:
Behavior - To what degree participants apply what they learned during training when they are back
on the job.
After six months duration, post-program evaluation is conducted to complete training
evaluation It carries 50% weightage in evaluation of training effectiveness. After six months,
post program evaluation is carried out by the training participants’ supervisors. All ratings
obtained in the post programme evaluation forms are consolidated in post program
evaluation analysis sheet earlier their weighted averages were calculated to get individual
post program evaluation parameter ratings. These weighted average ratings were averaged
to get overall post program evaluation rating. If this rating is greater than or equal to 4 out
of 5 then learning from training was actually transferred in works of executives who
participated in the training. But know it’s been modified i.e. if the participants rated 1 by the
supervisor that means the learning is exhibited in their work & if not retraining for those
participants planned.
4.7.5 Training Accomplishment - The Head HR along with Training Manager HR reviews
following:
a) The trainings planned vs. accomplished is reviewed every quarter.
b) Training Effectiveness (Feedback Forms) analysis.

APS TRAINING II:- 03-05 –July
IATF Awarness:13-July
IATF A:-20-July
Throughout the project we have discussed the need of training and development
activity in the organization well as expected outcome from such endeavors
After this training I have concluded that all the training and development program of a
company are highly effective and beneficial to the employee in giving their best
contribution to their personal growth and development as well as to meet the
organizational objective.
In the plant some important step should be taken into consideration to making training
more effective.
Ensure that training contribute to competitive strategies of the firm. Different
strategies need different HR Skill for implementation. Let training help employee at
all level acquire the needed skill
Ensure the systematic and comprehensive approach to training exists and training
should be done on the continuous and on-going basis.
Ensure that there is proper linkage among the organization , operational and
individual training need
Create a system to evaluate a training effectiveness
To motivate associates praise them them this will improve their moral and hence
increase the productivity of the organization
The Company should adopt the other way for nominating the trainees like training
need identification survey , self nomination , personal analysis ,organizational
analysis etc
HR department should consider seminar on some vital topic so that employee are
always motivated and encouraged to work.
