CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Training is an organized activity for the knowledge and skills of people for a definite purpose. It involves systematic procedures for transferring technical know-how to the employees so as to increase their knowledge and skills for doing specific jobs and proficiency. In other words, the trainees acquire technical knowledge, skills and problem solving ability by undergoing the training programme. Training reduces the gap by increasing employees knowledge, skill, ability and attitude. In order to build a strong, efficient, effective, motivated and dedicated managerial cadre, continuing management training is required. Training helps in updating old talents and developing new ones. Training is the teaching of vocational or practical and relates to specific useful skills. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at technical colleges or polytechnics. Today it is often referred to as professional development. Training means the planned and organized activity of a consultant to impart skills, techniques and methodologies to employers and their employees to assist them in establishing and maintaining employment and a place of employment, which is safe and healthful. Training involves an organized attempt to assist learning through instruction, observation, or practice. Training goals normally reflect the demands of a job role although management development tends to have somewhat less specific goals. There is a great deal of research interest in what affects the extent to which training transfers into workplace behavior. Activities or deliverables designed to enable end users to learn and use new processes, procedures, systems and other tools efficiently and effectively in the performance of their work; includes training, documentation and communications Training makes a very important contribution to the development of the organizations human resources and hence to the achievement of its aims and objectives. To achieve its purpose, training needs to be
effectively managed so that the right training is given to the right people, in the right form, at right time and at the right costs. The word training consists of eight letters, to each of which could be attributed some significant meanings in the following manner:
T: Talent and tenacity (strong determination) R: Reinforcement (Some thing positive to be reinforced into memory and
system again and again, until it becomes a spontaneous affair) A: Awareness (with which one can easily long strides of progress) I: Interest (which is invariably accompanied by excitement and enthusiasm) N: Novelties (the new things, the like of which would sustain our interest and fill our hearts with thrills and sensations) I: Intensity (the training instilled into the trainees mind must acquire experience oriented intensity) N: Nurturing (it does refer to incessant nurturing of talent, which otherwise would remain latent and dormant) G: Grip (a fine grip over the situation solves multiple problems and enables one to acquire a practical and programmatic approach along with all tricks and tactics to achieve success after success in ones endeavors) The instruments of training needed for organizing training programme are: A well-structured course Placement in an institution Workshop Seminar Mentoring
AREAS OF TRAINING
Training enhances the overall performance of an organization in various ways. Training imparted in one area can benefit the organization in many other areas. For example, training in managing interpersonal relationships in an organization can increase organizational productivity by improving teamwork. The major areas where employees are normally trained in an organization are listed below. i. Company Policies and procedures Understanding company policies and procedures is important for any employee of the organization. An employee should acquaint himself with the organizations rules, practices, processes and procedures, apart from the organizational culture, structure, and business. Training in this area helps the employee work with conviction and confidence. This is important for an employee who is new to the different aspects of the organizational policies and procedures. Skill- based Training Employees should be provided training to match the skill requirements of the jobs they perform. Such training helps in improving the employees job effectiveness. Skill- based training should also be imparted to enable the employees adapt to technological changes. Human Relations training In an organization, employees interact with their peers, supervisors subordinates, suppliers and customers. They might also have to interact with other external agents like government agencies or legal bodies. It is important for employees to know to manage their professional relationships. Human resource training is essential to improve the employees skills in the areas of self learning, interpersonal skills, group dynamics, perceptions, leadership styles, motivation, disciplinary procedures, and grievance redressal.

Problem solving training Every employee encounters problems in the course of his work in an organization; these can range from simple operational problems to major decisionmaking problems. Training in problem-solving skills equips an employee to deal with such problems. Managerial and supervisory Training All employees in an organization, at some point of time perform managerial and supervisory functions such as planning, organizing, directing, controlling and decision making. Thus training in these areas is essential for employees as they move ahead in their career paths to assume positions of increased responsibility.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING
Increased productivity: An increase in skills usually results in an increment in both quality and quantity of output. However, the increasingly technical nature of modern job demands systematic training to make possible even minimum levels of accomplishment. Improved morale: training helps employees to improve their job knowledge. It enables them to remain up-to-date. They can handle job operations with relative ease and comfort. They can work more competently. They can know meet the deadlines, achieve the targets and show performance. In short, their morale would be high. In the absence of training, they have to depend on others and wait for painfully long hours seeking an appointment with superiors. Reduced supervision: The trained employee is one who can perform with limited supervision. Both employee and supervisor want less supervision, greater independence, which is not possible unless the employee is adequately trained. Reduced accidents: More accidents are caused by deficiencies in people than by deficiencies in equipment and working conditions. Proper training in both job skills and safety attitudes should contribute towards a reduction in the accident rate. Increased organizational stability: The ability of an organization to sustain its effectiveness despite the loss of key personnel can be developed only through creation of a reservoir of employees. Flexibility, the ability to adjust to short-run variations in the volume of work requires personnel with multiple skills to permit their transfer to jobs where the demand is highest.
The training methods used by the organization can be basically categorized in to the on-the-job methods and off-the-job training methods. On-the-job Training On the job training takes place in a real job environment where the trainee is exposed to an actual work situation. The major advantage of this method is that the trainee will get hands-on experience. This form of direct learning helps the employee understand and imbibe the training lessons better. This will also help in better application of the knowledge and skills gained during training. On-thejob training methods can also be used if the organization does not have the resources to stimulate the work environment. Some of the widely used on-the-job training methods are instruction training, apprenticeship and coaching, job rotation and committee assignments. Off-the-job Training When training is performed on the job, any mistake by the trainee might result in damage to the organization, especially if it involves a customer or something of value. To avoid such
situations, off-the-job training is used. An advantage of off-the-job training is that the employee is free from distractions of his job requirements and would be able to concentrate better on learning the job rather than just performing it. Off-the-job training refers to training imparted away from the employees immediate work area. The employee is separated from the job situation and his attention is focused exclusively on learning which can later lead to improved job performance. When considering off-thejob training, the organization should take into consideration the various facilities that have to be provided. They have to provide classrooms for lectures or venues for creating an artificial work environment. Refreshments and training materials have to be provided. The various techniques off-the-job training are classroom lectures, simulation exercises, programmed instruction etc.
