INTRODUCTION

Training and development have become a key component of the educational system in India

over the past two decades, gaining widespread recognition as an essential factor in

enhancing managerial performance and organizational efficiency. For an organization to

function effectively, it must have skilled and experienced personnel to carry out required

tasks. If the current employees can meet these demands, training may not be necessary.

However, when they fall short, it becomes crucial to enhance their skill levels and improve

their versatility and adaptability. Poor job performance, a drop in productivity, changes due

to job redesign, or advancements in technology all necessitate some form of training and

development.

Training development and education are three terms frequently used. Training is a

process of learning sequence of programmed behavior. I am application of knowledge. It

gives people an awareness of rules and procedure to guide their behavior development is

related process. It covers not only those activities which improve job performance, but also

those which bring about growth of personality and potential capacity so that they not only

become good employees including operatives, supervisor and executive/manager in every

organization. Employees will enhance their skills, knowledge and attitude for meeting the

present as well as future job needs. Operatives, superiors and managers who occupy higher

responsibilities have key tasks to be performed in the organization. Training helps them to

perform those tasks effectively.

Meaning

Training and Development refers to the process of improving the skills, knowledge, and

abilities of employees in an organization. It involves two main components:

1. Training: This is a short-term process aimed at enhancing the specific skills and

knowledge needed for employees to perform their current jobs more effectively. It

focuses on improving their technical or functional skills, such as learning how to use new

software, machinery, or understanding specific job-related processes.

2. Development: This is a long-term, broader process aimed at preparing employees for

future roles and responsibilities within the organization. It focuses on improving overall

capabilities, including leadership, decision-making, and interpersonal skills, and is often

linked to career growth and personal development.

Together, training and development help employees grow professionally, increase their

productivity, improve organizational performance, and adapt to changes in the workplace, such

as technological advancements or changes in job requirements.

Definition

 According to Black (1961), “Training is defined as imparting job knowledge to

employees so that they can carry out orders smoothly, efficiently and cooperatively”.

 Oatey (1970) defines training as any activity which deliberately attempts to improve a

person’s skill at a task.

 According to Hesseling (1971), “training as a sequence of experiences or opportunities

designed to modify behavior in order to attain a stated objective”.

Importance of Training and Development

Training and development play a critical role in enhancing the effectiveness of both

employees and organizations. Here are some key reasons why training and development

are important:

 Improved Performance and Productivity:

Training equips employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their jobs

efficiently, leading to improved productivity and performance. Well-trained employees

can execute tasks more effectively and contribute to higher overall organizational output.

 Enhanced Employee Skills and Competencies:

Training and development programs help employees acquire new skills, update existing

ones, and adapt to changes in the industry. This is particularly crucial in sectors that

experience technological advancements or evolving job roles, ensuring that employees

remain relevant and capable.

 Increased Employee Motivation and Job Satisfaction:

Employees who participate in training programs feel valued and supported by their

employer, which boosts morale and job satisfaction. Training provides employees with

opportunities for growth, making them more motivated and engaged in their work.

 Retention of Talented Employees:

Organizations that invest in training and development are more likely to retain talented

employees. When employees see that their employer is committed to their personal and

professional growth, they are less likely to seek opportunities elsewhere.

 Adaptation to Change:

Training helps employees adapt to changes such as new technologies, processes, or

8
industry regulations. This ability to manage change enhances the organization's resilience

and ensures that employees are always equipped to handle new challenges.

 Organizational Growth and Innovation:

A well-trained workforce is a driving force for innovation. Employees who are

continuously learning bring new ideas, solutions, and approaches to the table,

contributing to the organization’s growth and competitive advantage.

Methods Used for Training and Development

There are various methods used by organizations to train and develop their employees. These

methods can be broadly classified into on-the-job and off-the-job training methods, each suited

to different learning needs and organizational goals. Here are some of the commonly used

methods:

1. On-the-Job Training (OJT) Methods

On-the-job training methods are those where employees learn while performing their actual job

tasks. It allows employees to gain hands-on experience and immediate feedback in a real work

environment.

 Job Rotation

 Coaching

 Mentoring

 Apprenticeship

 Understudy

9
2. off-the-Job Training Methods

Off-the-job training involves learning that takes place outside the normal work

environment. These methods are used to impart theoretical knowledge, develop

broader skills, or introduce employees to new concepts or technologies.

 Classroom Training:

Traditional instructor-led training where employees attend sessions in a classroom setting.

This allows for focused teaching and is often used for technical training or to introduce

new systems, policies, or regulations.

 Workshops/Seminars:

Interactive training sessions that typically focus on specific skills or knowledge. Workshops

are often short-term and allow employees to engage in group activities, case studies, and

discussions.

 E-Learning/Online Training:

Digital training programs that employees can access at their convenience. This includes

video tutorials, online courses, webinars, and virtual simulations. It is cost-effective

and offers flexibility for employees to learn at their own pace.

 Case Studies:

Employees are given real-world scenarios or problems and asked to analyze and come up

with solutions. This method helps to develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

 Role-playing:

In this method, employees act out scenarios to learn how to handle various situations.

service, conflict resolution, and leadership.

1. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The following are the objectives of the study:

1. To study the conceptual theory on training and development.

2. To study the training methods adopted in the company.

3. To study and examine the perception of employees towards training programs in

the company.

4. To suggest measures for improvement.

2. NEED FOR THE STUDY
Employees are the key drivers of production, and the success of an organization largely

depends on their performance. As employees' contributions are crucial in shaping modern

organizations, it is the responsibility of the organization to nurture their skills, abilities,

and overall performance. By developing employees in a way that aligns with their

potential, the organization indirectly benefits. Employees can improve their performance

only when they receive training to address the specific skills they lack.
3. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of this study limits to Training and Development focuses on understanding the

processes and impact of training programs within organizations. It aims to evaluate how training

initiatives improve employee performance, enhance skill sets, and contribute to overall

organizational growth. The study will examine various training methods such as on-the-job and

off-the-job training, leadership development, and the use of technology in modern learning

approaches. It will assess the effectiveness of these programs in boosting productivity, employee

satisfaction, and retention, while also identifying challenges such as budget constraints or

resistance to change.
