Abstract
Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced
peopled to perform the activities that have to be done. If current
and potential job occupants can meet this requirement, training is
not important. When this is not the case, it is necessary to raise
the skills levels and increase the versatility and adaptability of
employees. It is being increasingly common for individual to
change careers several times during their working lives. The
probability of any young person learning a job today and having
those skills go basically unchanged during the forty or so years if
his career is extremely unlikely, may be even impossible. In a
rapid changing society employee training is not only an activity
that is desirable but also an activity that an organization must
commit resourced to if it is to maintain a viable and
knowledgeable work force.
This entire project talks about the training and development in
theoretical. We have also studied the various training and
development methods used in three companies from the IT
sector. In this project we have studied how important training and
development is to a company and how training and development
is being carried out by various companies.

Objective
To examine the effectiveness of training in overall
development of skills of workforce.
To examine the impact of training on workers
To study the changes in behavioral pattern due to training
To have a theoretical knowledge about training and
development

Research Methodology
The research design of this study is descriptive in nature. This
study is based on secondary data which was obtained from
various sources online as mentioned in the bibliography of this
project report. With the help of secondary data we have studied
about the basic concept of training and development. We also
collect data about the training and development in three
companies from their respective websites and other online
forums.

Introduction
Human Resource Management is concerned with human beings,
who are energetic elements of management. The success of an
enterprise will depend upon the ability, strength and motivation of
persons working in it. Human Resource Management refers to
systematic approach to problems in any organization. Human
Resource Management is concerned with all aspects of managing
the human resources of an organization.
Human Resources are the most important assets of an
organization. Its objective is the maintenance of better human
relations in the organization by the development, application and
evaluation of policies, procedures and programs relating to
human resources to optimize the contribution towards the
realization of organizational objectives. It is concerned with
getting better results with the collaboration of people.
Employee training tries to improve skills or add to the existing
level of knowledge so that employee is better equipped to do his
present job, or to prepare him for a higher position with increased
responsibilities. However, organizational growth needs to be
measured along with individual growth.
Training refers to the teaching or learning activities done for the
primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire
and apply the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitude needed by
that organization to acquire and apply the same. Training is the
act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing
a particular job.
Learning happens all the time whether or not we are fully aware
of it. Are you a person who forgets to save your work on your
computer on a regular basis? If a power failure occurs and you
lose some data, do you learn anything? If you say to yourself, I
must remember to save more often, you have done some
learning. This type of learning is called incidental learning. You
have learned without really thinking about it or meaning to. On
the other hand, intentional learning happens when we engage in

activities with an attitude of what can I learn from this?


Employee development requires us to approach everyday activity
with the intention of learning from what is going on around us.
In todays scenario change is the order of the day and the only
way to deal with it is to learn and grow. Employees have become
central to success or failure of an organization.

Training and Development


In simple terms training and development refer to imparting
specific skills or abilities and knowledge to employees.
A formal definition of training and development is:
It is any attempt to improve current or future employee
performance by increasing an employees ability to perform
through learning, usually by changing the employees attitude or
increasing his skills and knowledge
Training is an organized activity for increasing the knowledge and
skills of people for a definite purpose. It involves systematic
procedure for transferring technical know-how to employees so as
to increase their knowledge and skills for doing specific jobs with
proficiency.
Training involves the development of skills that are usually
necessary to perform a specific job. Its purpose is to achieve a
change in the behavior of those trained and to enable them to do
their jobs better. It makes newly appointed workers fully
productive in the least possible time. It is equally important for
the old employees due to frequent changes in technology.

Process of training and development


Process of training and development is a well-planned process.

Need for Training and Development


Training is important not only from the point of view of
organization but also for the employees. Training is valuable to
the employees because it will give them greater job security and
opportunity for advancement.

The need for training arises in an enterprise due to the following


reasons:
CHANGING TECHNOLOGY:-Technology is changing at a fast
pace. The workers must learn new techniques to make use of
advanced technology. Thus, training should be treated as a
continuous process to update the employees in new
methods and procedures.
QUALITY CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS:-Customers have become
quality conscious and their requirements keep on changing.
To satisfy the customers, quality of products must be
continuously improved through training of workers.
GREATER PRODUCTIVITY:-It is essential to increase
productivity and Reduce cost of production for meeting
competition in the market. Effective training can help
increase productivity of workers.
STABLE WORKPLACE:-Training createsa feeling of confidence
in the minds of the workers. It gives them a security at the
work-place.As a result, labor turnover and absenteeism rates
are reduced.

Training and Development Objectives


Training objectives are formed keeping in view companys
goals and objectives.
To prepare the employee [both new and old] to meet the
present as well as changing requirements of job and
organization.
To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skill
needed for the performance of a definite job.
To assist employees to function more effectively in their
present positions by exposing them to latest concepts,
information and techniques and developing the skill sets that
may need further.

To develop the potentialities of people for the next level of


job.
To ensure smooth and efficient working of department.
To bridge the gap between existing performance ability
and desired performance.
To improve organizational climate since an endless chain of
positive reaction can result from a well-planned training
programme.

Importance of Training and Development


Training plays an important role in human resource department. It
is necessary, useful and productive for all categories of workers
and supervisory staff.
The importance of training and development in an enterprise are: OPTIMUM UTILIZATION OF RESOURCES:-Training and
development helps in optimizing the utilization of human
resources that further helps the employees to achieve the
organizational as well as their individual goals.
DEVELOPMENT OF SKILLS OF EMPLOYEES:- Training and
development helps in increasing the job knowledge and skills
of employees at each level. It helps to expand the horizons
of human intellect and an overall personality of the
employees.
PRODUCTIVITY:-Training and development helps in increasing
productivity of the employees that helps organization to
achieve its long-term goals.
TEAM SPIRIT:-Training and development helps in inculcating
the sense of team-work, team spirit, and inter-team
collaborations.
QUALITY:-Training and development helps in improving upon
quality of work and work-life.

Types of Training
On the basis of purpose, several types of training programmes are
offered to
employees. The important types of training
programmes are as follows:
INDUCTION TRAINING
Induction is concerned with introducing a new employee to the
organization and its procedures, rules and regulations. When a

11

new employee reports for work, he must be helped to get


acquainted with the work environment and fellow employees. It is
better to give him a friendly welcome when he joins the
organization, get him introduced to the organization and help him
to get a general idea about rules and regulations, working
conditions, etc of the organization.
JOB TRAINING
Job training relates to specific job which workers has to handle. It
gives information about machines, process of production,
instructions to be followed, and methods to be used and so on. It
develops skills and confidence among the workers and enables
them to perform the job efficiently. It is the most common of
formal in-plant training programmes. It helps in creating interest
of the employees in their jobs.
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
Apprenticeship training programmes tend more towards
education than merely on vocational training. Under this, both
skills and knowledge in doing a job or a series of related jobs are
involved. The government of various countries have passed laws
which make it obligatory on certain classes of employers to
provide apprenticeship training to young people. The usual
apprenticeship programmes combine on the job training and
experience with class room instructions in particular subjects. This
training is desirable in industries which require a constant flow of
new employees expected to become all round craftsmen. It is
very much prevalent in printing trades, building and construction
and crafts like mechanics, electricians, welders, etc.
INTERNSHIP TRAINING
Under this method, the educational and vocational institute
enters into arrangement with an industrial enterprise for providing
practical knowledge to its students. This training is usually meant
for such vocations where advanced theoretical knowledge is to be
backed up by practical experience on the job. For instance,

12

engineering students are sent to big industrial enterprises for


gaining practical work experience and medical students are sent
to hospitals to get practical knowledge. The period of such
training varies from six months to two years.
REFRESHER TRAINING
As the name implies, the refresher training is meant for the old
employees of the enterprise. The basic purpose of this training is
to acquaint the existing work-force with the latest methods of
performing their jobs and improve their efficiency further. In the
words of Dale Yoder, Retraining programmes are designed to
avoid personnel obsolescence. The skills with the existing
employees become obsolete because of technological changes
and of the human tendency to forget.
TRAINING FOR PROMOTION
The talented employees may be given adequate training to make
them eligible for promotion to higher jobs in the organization.
Promotion means a significant change in the Responsibilities and
duties. Therefore, it is essential that employees are provided
sufficient training to learn new skills to perform their jobs more
efficiently. The purpose of training for promotion is to develop the
existing employees to make them fit for undertaking higher job
responsibilities. This serves as a motivating force to the
employees.

Methods of Training
The various methods of training may be classified into the
following categories:
On-the-job training
Vestibule training
Off-the-job training
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
On-the-job training is considered to be the most effective method
of training the operative personnel. Under this method, the
worker is given training at the work place by his immediate

13

supervisor. In other words, the worker learns in the actual work


environment. It is based on the principle of learning by doing.
VESTIBULE TRAINING
The term vestibule training is used to designate training in a
class-room for semi-skilled workers. It is more suitable where a
large number of employees must be trained at the same time for
the same kind of work. Where this method is used, there should
be well qualified instructors in charge of training programmes.
Here the emphasis tends to be on learning rather than production.
It is frequently used to train clerks, machine operators, typists,
etc.
Vestibule training is adapted to the general type of training
problem that is faced by on-the-job training. An attempt is made
to duplicate, as nearly as possible, the materials, equipment and
conditions found in real work place. The human resources
department makes arrangements for vestibule training when the
training work exceeds the capacity of the line supervisors. Thus,
in vestibule training, the workers are trained on specific jobs as
they would be expected to perform at their work place.
Vestibule training has certain demerits also. The artificial training
atmosphere may create adjustment problem for the trainees
when they are sent to their actual work place. It is relatively
expensive as there is duplication of materials, equipment and
conditions found in the real work place.
OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
It requires the workers to undergo training for a specific period
away from the work place. Off-the-job methods are concerned
with both knowledge and skills in doing certain jobs. The workers
are free of tension of work when they are learning.

as the synergetic growth of each one of its employees.
The concept of the learning organization has been developed with
a 3-prong objective in mind, of creating value, retaining value and
delivering value for the internal customer, the external customer
and the organization as a whole.
THE HR EDGE

managers conduct this program at frequent intervals to
reduce the gaps identified within a specified time frame.
Open house: Conducted at the initiative of any employee in
the organization, this forum could be organization wide,
department specific or even team specific.
Celebrations: Marriages, birthdays or any such occasions are
celebrated with much fanfare to live up to the culture of fun
and excitement that we propagate in HCL. Games, spoofs,
and movies during the weekend provide a chance for
everyone to get together to participate in fun filled activities
and unwind.

(electronic magazine) which come out regularly - featuring
articles contributed by employees, write-ups on industry
trends, training schedules or interviews by industry bigwigs.

employees, each one has access to the intranet, which is
updated regularly and has information on just about
anything HCL is into. New accounts, technologies, business
models, revenues, future plans and bulletin boards some of
the heads under which the information is updated daily.

overseas, its imperative that they keep in touch with each

21

other or their respective teams - the chat lines help facilitate


this.

In a Nutshell
In spite of being a technology company where communication
through intranet and Internet happens on a regular basis, we
encourage the "personal touch", the pat on the back, the note on
the table etc. Also keeping in line with the principle of early
empowerment for employees, each employee is encouraged to
enrich his role or way of functioning, by not blindly following set
norms but finding ways to improve them through innovation and
by taking initiative.

Services from SUNY Buffalo . 39 TCSers admitted since 2011
IIT Madras M.Tech Program in Mechanical, Engineering
Design, Aerospace, and Applied Mechanics departments:
Lack of courses for specialized skills in High End Engineering
Design & Computational Engineering prompted TCS to
collaborate with IIT Madras to start this program in 2005. TCS
sponsored Infrastructure for the Center for Finite Element
Analysis and Design (CFEAD) Lab. This program created
talent pool and provided strong foundation in areas like
Strength of Materials, Thermal Engi, Mechanics of Solids, and
High Performance Computing. 92 TCSers admitted since
2005.

Training as part of CSR Supporting Inclusive


Growth (Examples)
Just off the Mumbai-Pune highway, an hours drive from Panvel,
lies the village of Wazapur in the Raigad district of Maharashtra.
The village till recently was devoid of even basic amenities. Today,
however, it has witnessed a transformation largely owing to the
tireless effort of hundreds of TCS volunteers working under the
TCS-Maitree banner. The volunteers in the last three years have
helped to sustain holistic development in Wazapur based on
partnerships. A sustainable model has been built to improve
education, healthcare and environment in the area.
The guiding principle of TCS CSR programmes is Impact through
Empowerment. More than 25 women from three villages in the
area were taught to perform basic calculations and were made
aware of issues like health and hygiene.

TCS Affirmative Action Program


TCS Affirmative Action endeavors to Improve the employability of
graduates from socially disadvantaged sections and other
underprivileged categories across India who are unable to get
jobs due to lack of communication skills, low confidence levels or
other barriers unrelated to their educational qualifications. A
powerful, imaginative and interactive training program has been
devised by experienced trainers at TCS BPO which lasts for a total

29

of 80 100 hours over a period of around 15 - 20 days. Apart from


providing education and making youth more employable, the
program also aims to provide employment opportunities to those
trained in TCS BPO. More than 30,000 underprivileged young
graduates have been made employable under the program, since
its launch in 2010.

TCS Udaan
Project Udaan, is a joint and novel initiative by National Skill
Development Corporation (NSDC)
Government of India and Special Industry Initiative (SII) to help
Kashmiri youth join the mainstream of corporate India. TCS has
been associated with the program since its inception and aims to
train and create employment opportunities forat least 850 youth
from J&K, over a 5 year period. The training intervention provides
the youth with the requisite knowledge, skills and competencies
required in the corporate world over a period of 3.5 months. The
program covers the entire gamut of business skills like Business
English, Presentation Skills and builds competence in domain and
process areas while leveraging from innovative learning
methodologies like games and movies. In addition to this, the
curriculum also includes life skills and performing arts like dance,
music and drama to enhance and enrich the overall personality of
the participants.

Conclusion
Through the theoretical study of training and development and
also the various methods and techniques or ways of training and
development adopted by the three companies we can conclude
the following points:
Training is considered as a positive step towards
augmentation of the knowledge base of employees.
The training programs should be properly designed to cater
to the developments of the employees.
The use of latest training methods with updated technology
should be adopted in order to enhance the effectiveness of
the training programs.
Both subjective as well as objective approach for the training
programs should be utilized for more effectiveness.
In-house training programs are observed to be more
beneficial to the organization as well as the employees since
it helps employees to attend their official work while
undergoing the training.
Part time training programs in the office premises for short
durations, spanning over a few days are also recommended
in order to avoid any interruption in the routine work.
Through this project I have learnt the theoretical concept of
training and development. This project has also helped me
understand how employees progress after being employed
by an organization. This project has given me the basic
insight of how I would progress if I ever get employed by an
organization. Besides the theoretical knowledge acquired
while preparing this project, researching for information
online, visiting a number of websites to collect data and
compile the relevant data, I have also learnt a lot about

31

companies and the ways adopted by them to govern their


organization.

The project helped me to understand the concept of Training


and development and its importance in an organization. It
gave me an insight of the various training programmes
undertaken by some of the top companies in the IT sector
namely, HCL, TCS and Wipro for their existing and new
employees how much these companies invest in improving
the skill set of their employees so as to maintain their
competitive edge in todays dynamic market environment.
