ô project is never the sole product of a person whose name has appeared on the
cover. Even the best effort may not prove successful without proper guidance. For
a good project one needs proper time, energy, efforts, patience, and knowledge.
But without any guidance it remains unsuccessful. I have done this project with
the best of my ability and hope that it will serve its purpose.

It was really a great learning experience and I am really thankful to Mr. Pranshu
Chomplay (designation), and Vishal Shekhri (Manager) who not only helped me in
the successful completion of this report but also despite of their busy schedule,
spread their precious and valuable time in expanding my knowledge base.

ôfter the completion of this Project I feel as a well aware person about the
Training & Development at hotel industry and the complexities that can arise
during the process. ôlso I get an insight of different departments of a hotel and its
effectiveness. Finally, I am also grateful to all the respondents for their
cooperation in responding to all the questions and all other personalities who
have helped me directly or indirectly in bringing up this project report.

Born into a Parsi family in 1839, Jamsetji Tata came to Bombay at the age of 14. In 1868, at age
29, he started a private trading firm with a capital of Rs. 21,000.

Jamsetji Tata earned his fortune from textiles. He established the Empress Mills and later, the
Swadeshi & ôhmedabad ôdvance Mills.

He believed in the creation of wealth through employment for the good of the society. He was
among India͛s pioneering industrialists and a man of great vision.

Jamsetji Tata was a true nationalist. He foresaw the significance of the Industrial Revolution for
India and spelt out the three basic ingredients necessary to attain it:
ͻ Hydroelectric power ʹ the cheapest energy to be generated
ͻ Steel was ʹ the backbone of the heavy industry
ͻ Technical education, coupled with research, was essential for industrial
advancement.

͞There is one kind of charity common enough among us, and which is certainly a good thing,
though I do not think it the best thing we can have. It is that patchwork philanthropy which
clothes the ragged, feeds the poor, and heals the sick and halt. I am far from decrying the noble
spirit which seeks to help a poor or suffering fellow-being͙What advances a nation or
community is not so much to prop up its weakest and most helpless members as to lift up the
best and most gifted so as to make them of the greatest service to the country.͟

͞He was not a man who cared to bask largely in the public eye. He disliked public gatherings, he
did not care for making speeches, his sturdy strength of character prevented him from fawning
on any man, however great; for he himself was great in his own way, greater than most people
realised. He sought no honour, and he claimed no privilege. But the advancement of India and
her myriad peoples was with him an abiding passion...͟

In simple words, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills,
abilities, knowledge to an employee. ô formal definition of training and development is
determined as follows:

͞It is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an


employee͛s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee͛s attitude or
increasing his or her skills and knowledge.͟

The need for training and development is determined by the employee͛s performance
deficiency, computed as follows:

We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such


distinctions enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning if the term training.
Which refers to the process of imparting specific skills, Education, on the other hand is confined
theoretically learning in classroom

To distinct more, the training is offered in case of operatives whereas development


programs are conducted for employees at higher levels. Education however is common to all
the employees

c c

ôny training and development programme must contain inputs which enable the
participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look into the
distant future. The inputs of training and development are as follows:

Training is imparting skills to the employees. ô worker needs skills to operate machines, and
use other equipments with least damage and scrap. This is basic skills without which the
operator will not function.

There is also a need of motor skills or psychomotor skills as they are refer to performance of
specific physical activities .These skills involve learning to move various parts of their body in
response to certain external and internal stimuli. Employees particularly like supervisors and
executives, need interpersonal skills mostly know as people skills. These skills helps a person
understand oneself and others better and act accordingly. Examples of interpersonal skills
include listening. Persuading and showing an understanding of others feelings.

The purpose of education is to teach theoretical concepts and develop a sense of reasoning and
judgment. That any training and development programme must contain an element of
education is well understood by the HR specialist.

In fact, sometimes, organizations depute or encourage employees to do courses on a part time


basis. Chief executive officers (CEO͛s) are known to attend refresher course conducted in many
Business schools. The late Manu Chabria, CMD, Shaw Wallace, attended such a two month
programme at the Harvard business school. Education is more important for managers and
executives than for lower-cadre workers.

*6( $ 
 

ônother component of a training and development programme is development which is less


skill ʹ oriented but stress on knowledge. Knowledge about business environment, management
principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry analysis and the like is useful for
better management of a company.

Development programme should help an employee to be a self-starter, build sense of


commitment, motivation, which should again helps him being self generating. It should make
their performance result oriented and help them in being more efficient and effective. It should
also help in making the employee sensitive towards the environment that is his work place and
outside. This programme should keep the employee aware of him i.e. his potentials and his
limitations. Help him see himself as others see him and accept his self image as a prelude to
change. It helps teach an individual to communicate without filters, to see and feel points of
view different from their own. ôlso helps them understand the powers in their hands and
thereby develop leadership styles which inspire and motivate others. ônd finally helps install a
zest for excellence, a divine discontent, a nagging dissatisfaction with the status quo.

There is a need for imparting greater ethical orientation to a training and development
programme. There is no denial of the fact that ethics are largely ignored in businesses. They are
less seen and talked about in the personnel function this does not mean that the HR manager is
absolved if the responsibility. If the production, finance or marketing personnel indulge in
unethical practices the fault rest on the HR manager. It is his/her duty to enlighten all the
employees in the organization about the need for ethical behavior.

objectives and strategies. What business are we in? ôt what level of quality do we wish to

c c

provide this product or service? Where do we what to be in the future? Its only after answering
these and other related questions that the organization must assess the strength and weakness
of its human resources.

b) ,   


Needs assessment diagnoses present problems and future challenge to be met through
training and development. Needs assessment occurs at two levels i.e. group level and individual
level, an individual obviously needs training when his or her performance falls short or
standards that is when there is performance deficiency. Inadequate in performance may be due
to lack of skills or knowledge or any other problem.

Once training needs are assessed, training and development goals must be established.
Without clearly-set goals, it is not possible to design a training and development programme
and after it has been implemented, there will be no way of measuring its effectiveness. Goals
must be tangible, verifying and measurable. This is easy where skilled training is involved

The last stage in the training and development process is the evaluation of the results.
Since huge sums of money are spent on training and development, how far the programme has
been useful must be judge/determined. Evaluation helps determine the results of the training
and development programme. In the practice, however organizations either overlook or lack
facilities for evaluation.

ô multitude of techniques are used to train employees. Training techniques represent


the medium of imparting skills and knowledge to employees. Training techniques are means
employed in the training methods. They are basically of two types.

6c 2 '  
It is the verbal presentation of information by an instructor to a large audience. The
lecturer is presumed to possess knowledge about the subject. ô virtue in this method is that it
can be used for large groups and hence the cost of training per employee is very low. However,
this method violates the principle of learning by practice. ôlso this type of communication is a
one-way communication and there is no feedback from the audience because in case of very
large groups it is difficult to have interactive sessions. Long lectures can also cause Boredom.

6c / 


This is an extension of the lecture method. This method includes slides, OHPs, video
tapes and films. They can be used to provide a range of realistic examples of job conditions and
situations in the condensed period of time. It also improves the quality of presentation to a
great extent.

*6c   ) #


It is used primarily to teach workers how to do their present jobs. Majority of the
industrial training is on the job training. It is conducted at the work site and in the context of
the job. Often, it is informal, as when experienced worker shows a trainee how to perform
tasks. In this method, the focus of trainer͛s focus is on making a good product and not on good
training technique. It has several steps; the trainee first receives an overview of the job, its
purpose and the desired outcomes. The trainer then demonstrates how the job is to be
performed and to give trainee a model to copy. ônd since a model is given to the trainee, the
transferability to the job is very high. Then the employee is allowed to mimic the trainer͛s
example. The trainee repeats these jobs until the job is mastered.

In this method, training is offered without the intervention of the trainer. Information is
provided to the employee in blocks, in form of books or through teaching machine. ôfter going
through each block of material, the trainee goes through a test/ answers a question. Feedback
in the form of correct answers is provided after each response. Thus PI involves:

Jc Presenting questions, facts, and problems to the learner.


Jc ôllowing the person to respond
Jc Providing feedback on the accuracy of the answers
Jc If the answers are correct, he proceeds to the next block or else, repeats the
same.
However it is an impersonal method and the scope of learning is less as compared to
other methods of training. ôlso the cost of preparing books, manuals and machinery is very
high.

:6c 
   ' 46
This is an extension of the PI method. In this method, the learner͛s response determines
the frequency and difficulty level of the next frame. This is possible thanks to the speed,
memory and the data manipulation capabilities of the computer.

;6c 
 
It is any equipment or technique that duplicates as nearly as the possible the actual
conditions encountered at the job. It is an attempt to create a realistic for decision-making. This
method is most widely used in ôeronautical Industry.

86c /    #


This method utilizes equipment which closely resembles the actual ones used in the job.
It is performed in a special area set aside for the purpose and not at the workplace. The
emphasis is placed on learning skills than on production. It is however difficult to duplicate
pressures and realities of actual situations. Even though the kind of tension or pressure may be

c c
c
the same but the employee knows it is just a technique and not a real situation. ôlso the
employees behave differently in real situations than in simulations. ôlso additional investment
is required for the equipment.

96c    
It is a written description of an actual situation in the business, which provokes the
reader to think and make decisions/ suggestions. The trainees read the case, analyze it and
develop alternative solutions, select the best one and implement it. It is an ideal method to
promote decision making skills. They also provide transference to an extent. They allow
participation through discussion. This is the most effective method of developing problem
solving skills.

The method /approach to analysis may not be given importance. Many a times only the
result at the end of the case may be considered and not the line of thinking to approach it. This
is a major disadvantage since case studies must primarily be used to influence or mend the
attitude or thinking of an individual.

This method mainly focuses on emotional (human relation) issues than other ones. The
essences are on creating a real life situation and have trainees assumed parts of specific
personalities (mostly interchanged roles of boss and subordinate to create empathy for one
another). The consequence is better understanding of issues from the other͛s point of view.
Concept of Behavior Modeling:

Jc Fundamental psychological process by which new patterns of behavior can


be acquired and existing ones can be altered.
Jc ͞Vicarious process͟ learning takes place not by own experience but by
observation or imagination of others͛ action.

c  c
c
Jc It is referred to as ͞copying͟, ͞observational learning͟ or ͞imitation͟ implying
that it a behavior is learned or modified through observation of other͛s
experiences.
Jc This change may be videotaped and showed to the trainee and he can review
and critique it.
Jc It also helps him see the negative consequences that result from not using
the behavior as recommended.
6c  $  #

It uses small number of trainees usually less than 12 in a group. They meet with a
passive trainer and get an insight into their own behavior and that of others. These meetings
have no agenda and take place away from the workplace. The discussions focus on why
participants behave the way they do and how others perceive them. The objective is to provide
the participants with increased awareness of their own behavior, the perception of others
about them and increased understanding of group process. Examples: Laboratory training,
encounter groups. Laboratory training is a form of group training primarily used to enhance
interpersonal skills. It can be used to develop desired behaviors for future job responsibilities. ô
trained professional serves as a facilitator. However once the training is over employees get
back to being the way they are.

6c   '   '#



It is involved learning from more experienced employee/s. This method may be
supplemented with other off-the-job methods for effectiveness. It is applied in cases of most
craft workers, carpenters, plumbers and mechanics. This approach uses high levels of
participation and facilitates transferability. Coaching is similar to apprenticeships. But it is
always handled by a supervisor and not by the HR department. The person being trained is
called understudy. It is very similar to on the job training method. But in that case, more stress
is laid on productivity, whereas here, the focus is on learning.

c  c
c
In this method skilled workforce is maintained ʹ since the participation, feedback and
job transference is very high. Immediate returns can be expected from training ʹ almost as
soon as the training is over the desired outcomes can be seen in the trainee

Gone are the days when training was a 2 hour process on the first day of the job.
Training & Development has transformed from an add-on function to a core function of
companies. It has become more of a science with systematic rules and formats guiding the
companies on how to go about training and development. ônd that is the way it should be.

Training and development is a necessity for both the trainer and the trainee. The trainer
(the company) would want to make its staff more efficient in this highly competitive world. It
would want its employees to know the latest trends and technologies and use them according
to the company͛s principles and objectives. The trainees (staff) on the other hand, view training
and development as a stepping stone for enriching their career and fulfilling their personal
needs. Training and development is another round of education for them, the knowledge from
which is to be applied later. So, it͛s more of a mutual necessity and agreement between the
companies and their respective employees when it comes to training and development.

The future would demand more from the employees as well as the companies in terms
of productivity. New technology, multi-tasking, group culture, etc. will be more emphasized
upon. This means training and development is going to be even more important, complex and
rigorous. Companies already foresee this and are already in preparations to make their staff
better equipped. On this we conclude our report with the following words ͞Education ends with
school but learning ends with life.͟
