INTRODUCTION OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT is a subsystem of an organization. It ensures that


randomness is reduced and learning or behavioral change takes place in structured format.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT DEFINED

It is concerned with the structure and delivery of acquisition of knowledge to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of organization. It is concerned with improving the existing skills
and exploring the potential skills of the individual i.e. upgrading the employees’ skills and
extending their knowledge. Therefore, training is a key to optimizing utilization human
intellectual technological and entrepreneurial skills

Training and Development referred to as:

• Acquisition and sharpening of employees capabilities that is required to perform various


obligations, tasks and functions.

• Developing the employee’s capabilities so that they may be able to discover their potential
and exploit them to full their own and organizational development purpose.

• Developing an organizational culture where superior-subordinate relationship, team work,


and collaboration among different sub units are strong and contribute to organizational
wealth, dynamism and pride to the employees.

Development defined

It helps the individual handle future responsibilities, with less emphasis on present job duties.

Introduction of training

It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills,


concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviors to enhance the performance of
employees.

INPUTS IN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Any 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.

Skills: Training is imparting skills to employees. A worker needs skills to operate machines,
and use other equipments with least damage and scrap. This is a basic skill without which the
operator will not be able to function. Employees, particularly supervisors and executives, need
interpersonal skills.

Education: The purpose of education is to teach theoretical concepts and develop a sense of
reasoning and judgment.

Development: It is less skill-oriented but stresses on knowledge. Knowledge about business


environment, management principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry
analysis is useful for better management of a company.

Ethics: There is need for imparting greater ethical orientation to a training and development
programme. Ethical attitude help managements make better decisions which are in the
interests of the public, the employees and in the long term-the company itself.

Attitudinal Changes: Attitude represents feelings and beliefs of individuals towards others.
Attitude affects motivation, satisfaction and job commitment. Negative attitude need to be
converting into positive attitude. Attitude must be changed so that employees feel committed
to the organization, are motivated for better performance, and derive satisfaction from their
jobs and the work environment.

Decision making and problem solving skills: It focus on methods and techniques for
making organization decision-making and solving work related problems.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the availability
of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that, there are four other
objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.

Individual objectives – help employees in achieving their personal goals, which in turn,
enhances the individual contribution to an organization.

Organizational Objectives – assist the organization with its primary objective by bringing
individual effectiveness.

Functional Objectives – maintain the department’s contribution at a level suitable to the


organization’s needs.

Societal Objectives – ensure that an organization is ethically and socially responsible to the
needs and challenges of the society.

MODELS OF TRAINING

Training is a sub-system of the organization because the departments such as, marketing &
sales, HR, production, finance, etc depends on training for its survival. Training is a
transforming process that requires some input and in turn it produces output in the form of
knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

THE TRAINING SYSTEM

The three model of training are:

1. System Model

2. Instructional System Development Model

3. Transitional model

SYSTEM MODEL TRAINING

The system model consists of five phases and should be repeated on a regular basis to make
further improvements. The training should achieve the purpose of helping employee to
perform their work to required standards. The steps involved in System Model of training are
as follows:

1. ANALYZE and identify the training needs i.e. to analyze the department, job, employees
requirement, who needs training, what do they need to learn, estimating training cost, etc The
next step is to develop a performance measure on the basis of which actual performance
would be evaluated.

2. DESIGN and provide training to meet identified needs. This step requires developing
objectives of training, identifying the learning steps, sequencing and structuring the contents

6
Page |7

3. DEVELOP- This phase requires listing the activities in the training program that will
assist the participants to learn, selecting delivery method, examining the training material,
validating information to be imparted to make sure it accomplishes all the goals &
objectives.

4. IMPLEMENTING is the hardest part of the system because one wrong step can lead
to the failure of whole training program.

5. EVALUATING each phase so as to make sure it has achieved its aim in terms of
subsequent work performance. Making necessary amendments to any of the previous
stage in order to remedy or improve failure practices

7
Page |8

TRANSITIONAL MODEL

Transitional model focuses on the organization as a whole. The outer loop describes the
vision, mission and values of the organization on the basis of which training model i.e.
inner loop is executed.

VISION – focuses on the milestones that the organization would like to achieve after the
defined point of time. A vision statement tells that where the organization sees itself few
years down the line. A vision may include setting a role mode, or bringing some internal
transformation, or may be promising to meet some other deadlines.

MISSION – explain the reason of organizational existence. It identifies the position in the
community. The reason of developing a mission statement is to motivate, inspire, and
inform the employees regarding the organization.The mission statement tells about the
identity that how the organization would like to be viewed by the customers, employees,
and all other stakeholders.

VALUES – is the translation of vision and mission into communicable ideals. It reflects
the deeply held values of the organization and is independent of current industry
environment. For example, values may include social responsibility, excellent customer
service, etc

8
Page |9

The mission, vision, and values precede the objective in the inner loop. This model
considers the organization as a whole. The objective is formulated keeping these three
things in mind and then the training model is further implemented

INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT (ISD) MODEL

Instructional System Development model was made to answer the training problems. This
model is widely used now-a-days in the organization because it is concerned with the
training need on the job performance. Training objectives are defined on the basis of job
responsibilities and job description and on the basis of the defined objectives individual
progress is measured. This model also helps in determining and developing the favorable
strategies, sequencing the content, and delivering media for the types of training
objectives to be achieved. The Instructional System Development model comprises of five
stages:

9
P a g e | 10

1. ANALYSIS – This phase consist of training need assessment, job analysis, and target
audience analysis.

2. PLANNING – This phase consist of setting goal of the learning outcome, instructional
objectives that measures behavior of a participant after the training, types of training
material, media selection, methods of evaluating the trainee, trainer and the training
program, strategies to impart knowledge i.e. selection of content, sequencing of content,
etc

3. DEVELOPMENT – This phase translates design decisions into training material. It


consists of developing course material for the trainer including handouts, workbooks,
visual aids, demonstration props, etc, course material for the trainee including handouts of
summary.

4. EXECUTION – This phase focuses on logistical arrangements, such as arranging


speakers, equipments, benches, podium, food facilities, cooling, lighting, parking, and
other training accessories.

10
P a g e | 11

5. EVALUATION – The purpose of this phase is to make sure that the training program
has achieved its aim in terms of subsequent work performance. This phase consists of
identifying strengths and weaknesses and making necessary amendments to any of the
previous stage in order to remedy or improve failure practices.

The ISD model is a continuous process that lasts throughout the training program. It also
highlights that feedback is an important phase throughout the entire training program. In
this model, the output of one phase is an input to the next phase.

TRAINING NEED ANALYSIS (TNA)/TRAINING NEED


IDENTIFICATION (TNI)

An analysis of training need is an essential requirement to the design of effective training. The
purpose of training need analysis is to determine whether there is a gap between what is
required for effective performance and present level of performance.

Training Need arises at three levels:

• Organizational level
• Individual level
• Operational level

Corporate need and training need are interdependent because the organization performance
ultimately depends on the performance of its individual employee and its subgroup.

12
P a g e | 13

Organizational level – Training need analysis at organizational level focuses on strategic


planning, business need, and goals. It starts with the assessment of internal environment of the
organization such as, procedures, structures, policies, strengths, and weaknesses and external
environment such as opportunities and threats. After doing the SWOT analysis, weaknesses
can be dealt with the training interventions, while strengths can further be strengthened with
continued training. Threats can be reduced by identifying the areas where training is required.
And, opportunities can be exploited by balancing it against costs. For this approach to be
successful, the HR department of the company requires to be involved in strategic planning.
In this planning, HR develops strategies to be sure that the employees in the organization have
the required Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSAs) based on the future KSAs
requirements at each level.

Individual level – Training need analysis at individual level focuses on each and every
individual in the organization. At this level, the organization checks whether an employee is
performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation. If the difference between
the expected performance and actual performance comes out to be positive, then certainly
there is a need of training. However, individual competence can also be linked to individual
need. The methods that are used to analyze the individual need are:

• Appraisal and performance review

• Peer appraisal

• Competency assessments

• Subordinate appraisal

• Client feedback

• Customer feedback

• Self-assessment or self-appraisal

13
P a g e | 14

Operational level – Training Need analysis at operational level focuses on the work that is
being assigned to the employees. The job analyst gathers the information on whether the job
is clearly understood by an employee or not. He gathers this information through technical
interview, observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking the closed ended as well as
open ended questions, etc. Today, jobs are dynamic and keep changing over the time.
Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analyst also gathers information on the
tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be required in the future. Based on the
information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is done.

Benefits of need assessment

Training programs are designed to achieve specific goals that meet felt needs. There are many
benefits of need assessment:

1. Trainers may be informed about the broader need of the trainees.


2. Trainers are able to pitch their course inputs closer to the specific needs of the trainees.
3. Assessment makes training department more accountable and more clearly linked to other
human resource activities, which make the training programs easier to sell to line
managers.

TRAINING-DESIGN

The design of the training program can be undertaken only when a clear training objective
has been produced. The training objective clears what goal has to be achieved by the end of
training program i.e. what the trainees are expected to be able to do at the end of their
training. Training objectives assist trainers to design the training program.

The trainer – Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical,
interpersonal, judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.

14
P a g e | 15

The trainees – A good training design requires close scrutiny of the trainees and their
profiles. Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the important
factors that affect training design.

Cost of training – It is one of the most important considerations in designing a training


programme. A training programme involves cost of different types. These may be in the form
of direct expenses incurred in training, cost of training material to be provided, arrangement
of physical facilities and refreshment, etc. Besides these expenses the organization has to bear
indirect cost in the form of loss of production during training period. Ideally, a training
programme must be able to generate more revenues than the cost involved.

Training climate – A good training climate comprises of ambience, tone, feelings, positive
perception for training program, etc. Therefore, when the climate is favorable nothing goes
wrong but when the climate is unfavorable, almost everything goes wrong.

15
P a g e | 16

TRAINING-DESIGN

Trainees’ learning style – the learning style, age, experience, educational background of
trainees must be kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the program.

Training strategies – Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer translates
it into specific training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list of about what
must be included, what could be included.

Training topics – After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be
delivered. Trainers break the content into headings, topics, ad modules. These topics and
modules are then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

16
P a g e | 17

Sequence the contents – Contents are then sequenced in a following manner:

• From simple to complex

• Topics are arranged in terms of their relative importance

• From known to unknown

• From specific to general

• Dependent relationship

Training tactics – Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program becomes
clear, trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methods or techniques.
The method selection depends on the following factors:

• Trainees’ background

• Time allocated

• Style preference of trainer

• Level of competence of trainer

• Availability of facilities and resources, etc

Support facilities – IT can be segregated into printed and audio visual. The various
requirements in a training program are white boards, flip charts, markers, etc.

17
P a g e | 18

Constraints – The various constraints that lay in the trainers mind are:

• Time

• Accommodation, facilities and their availability

• Furnishings and equipments

• Budget

• Design of the training, etc

TRAINING IMPLEMENTATION

To put training program into effect according to definite plan or procedure is called training
implementation. Training implementation is the hardest part of the system because one wrong
step can lead to the failure of whole training program. Even the best training program will fail
due to one wrong action. Training implementation can be segregated into:

• Practical administrative arrangements

• Carrying out of the training

Once the staff, course, content, equipments, topics are ready, the training is implemented.
Completing training design does not mean that the work is done because implementation

phase requires continual adjusting, redesigning, and refining. Preparation is the most
important factor to taste the success. Therefore, following are the factors that are kept in mind
while implementing training program:

The trainer – The trainer need to be prepared mentally before the delivery of content.
Trainer prepares materials and activities well in advance. The trainer also set grounds before
meeting with participants by making sure that he is comfortable with course content and is
flexible in his approach.

18
P a g e | 19

Physical set-up – Good physical set up is pre-requisite for effective and successful training
program because it makes the first impression on participants. Classrooms should not be very
small or big but as nearly square as possible. This will bring people together both physically
and psychologically. Also, right amount of space should be allocated to every participant.

Establishing rapport with participants – There are various ways by which a trainer can
establish good rapport with trainees by:

• Greeting participants – simple way to ease those initial tense moments


• Encouraging informal conversation

• Remembering their first name

• Pairing up the learners and have them familiarized with one another

• Listening carefully to trainees’ comments and opinions

• Telling the learners by what name the trainer wants to be addressed

• Getting to class before the arrival of learners

• Starting the class promptly at the scheduled time

• Using familiar examples

• Varying his instructional techniques

• Using the alternate approach if one seems to bog down

Reviewing the agenda – At the beginning of the training program it is very important to
review the program objective. The trainer must tell the participants the goal of the program,
what is expected out of trainers to do at the end of the program, and how the program will run.
The following information needs to be included:

19
P a g e | 20

• Kinds of training activities

• Schedule

• Setting group norms

• Housekeeping arrangements

• Flow of the program

• Handling problematic situations

In general programme implementation involves action on the following lines:

• Deciding the location and organizing training and other facilities.


• Scheduling the training programme.
• Conducting the programme.
• Monitoring the progress of the trainees.

TRAINING EVALUATION

The process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Training evaluation
checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation ensures that whether
candidates are able to implement their learning in their respective workplaces, or to the
regular work routines.

20
P a g e | 21

Purposes of Training Evaluation

The five main purposes of training evaluation are:

Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives and linking
it to learning outcomes.

Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge, transfer of


knowledge at the work place, and training

Control: It helps in controlling the training program because if the training is not effective,
then it can be dealt with accordingly.

Power games: At times, the top management (higher authoritative employee) uses the
evaluative data to manipulate it for their own benefits.

21
P a g e | 22

Intervention: It helps in determining that whether the actual outcomes are aligned with the
expected outcomes.

Functions of evaluation:

There are basically two functions of evaluation:

1. Qualitative evaluations is an assessment process how well did we do?


2. Quantitative evaluation is an assessment process that answers the question How much did
we do?

Principles of Training Evaluation:

Training need should be identified and reviewed concurrently with the business and
personal development plan process.

a) Evaluation must be continuous.


b) Evaluation must be specific.
c) Evaluation must be based on objective methods and standards.
d) There should be correlation to the needs of the business and the individual.
e) Organizational, group and individual level training need should be identified and
evaluated.
f) Techniques of evaluation should be appropriate.
g) The evaluation function should be in place before the training takes place.
h) The outcome of evaluation should be used to inform the business and training process.

22
P a g e | 23

Need of evaluation of Training:

Training cost can be significant in any business. Most organizations are prepared to incur
these cost because they expect that their business to benefit from employees development and
progress. Whether business has benefited can be assessed by evaluation training.

There are basically four parties involved in evaluating the result of any training. Trainer,
Trainee, Training and Development department and Line Manager.

• The Trainee wants to confirm that the course has met personal expectations and satisfied any
learning objectives set by the T & D department at the beginning of the programme.
• The Trainer concern is to ensure that the training that has been provided is effective or not.
• Training and Development want to know whether the course has made the best use of the
resources available.
• The Line manager will be seeking reassurance that the time hat trainee has spent in attending
training results in to value and how deficiency in knowledge and skill redressed.

The problem for many organizations is not so much why training should be evaluated but
how. Most of the organizations overlook evaluation because financial benefits are difficult to
describe in concrete terms.

The process of evaluation is central to its effectiveness and helps to ensure that:

• Whether training budget is well spent


• To judge the performance of employee as individual and team.
• To establish culture of continuous learning and improvement.

23
P a g e | 24

PROCESS OF TRAINING EVALUATION

Before Training: The learner’s skills and knowledge are assessed before the training
program. During the start of training, candidates generally perceive it as a waste of resources
because at most of the times candidates are unaware of the objectives and learning outcomes
of the program. Once aware, they are asked to give their opinions on the methods used and
whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences and learning style

During Training: It is the phase at which instruction is started. This phase usually consist
of short tests at regular intervals.

After Training: It is the phase when learner’s skills and knowledge are assessed again to
measure the effectiveness of the training. This phase is designed to determine whether
training has had the desired effect at individual department and organizational levels. There
are various evaluation techniques for this phase.

Techniques of evaluation

The various methods of training evaluation are:

• Observation

• Questionnaire

• Interview

• Self diaries

• Self recording of specific incidents

24
P a g e | 25

WHAT TO EVALUATE/LEVEL OF EVALUATION

Donald Kirkpatrick developed four level models to assess training effectiveness. According to
him evaluation always begins with level first and should move through other levels in
sequence.

• Reaction Level: The purpose is to measure the individual reaction to the training activity.
The benefit of Reaction level evaluation is to improve Training and Development activity
efficiency and effectiveness.
• Learning Level: The basic purpose is to measure the learning transfer achieved by the
training and development activity. Another purpose is to determine to what extent the
individual increased their knowledge, skills and changed their attitudes by applying
quantitative or qualitative assessment methods
• Behavior Level: The basic purpose is to measure changes in behavior of the individual as
a result of the training and development activity and how well the enhancement of
knowledge, skill, attitudes has prepared than for their role.
• Result Level: The purpose is to measure the contribution of training and development to
the achievement of the business/operational goals.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

TOBACCO IN INDIA:

India is the third largest tobacco producer in the world in the world and

a significant player in the global market ranking and occupying position ninth in the

export. Tobacco is grown in India for every 400 Hectors. Cigarette tobacco has been

cultivated for nearly 90 years.

TYPES OF TOBACCO:
1. Flue Curved Tobacco

2. Sun Curved Tobacco

3. Bidi Tobacco

4. Cigarette Tobacco

5. Burley Tobacco

6. Cheroot Tobacco

7. Hookah 4 chewing Tobacco

8. Air curved Tobacco

9. Fire Curved Tobacco

10. Oriented Tobacco

26
P a g e | 27

 Over 550 million Kg of tobacco is grown annually, with flue curved Virginia (FCV)

and Burley tobaccos accounting for approximi9alately 200 million Kg s. Nearly 50 %

of FCV crop is exported, making India . The fourth largest grower and exported of

FCV tobacco in the world. Light soil burley and air- curved tobaccos are also

exported.

 4, 00,000 hectors of land is under tobacco cultivation. Nearly 6 million people are

involved in the process. It is generating employment for every 30 million people

with collective wages amounting to $520 million annually.

 Excise collections from the tobacco industry are about $1.2 billion annually with

cigarette tobacco’s accounting for nearly 90%of the revenge generated. Andhra

Pradesh and Karnataka in the southern part of India are main cigarette tobacco

growers.

 India has the climate, soil and skills to produce a quality tobacco that is preferred

internationally. Guntur in A.P is the tobacco of the country there cigarette tobacco

growing, auctioning and trading began. The near by port of CHENNAU handles

the bulk of tobacco export consignments.

 Strong entry barriers of brand equity and distribution network characterize the

cigarette business. Buildings up brand are particularly difficult in this business as

TV and video adverstiment are restricted in India. Some stats have banned

smoking in public places. Brand loyalties nevertheless are strong as product

27
P a g e | 28

consumed as addition cannot be differentiated much on performance. Building up

a distribution network is an equally drawing task as the product is distributed

network is an equally drawings task as the product is distributed through sources

of small roadside pan and bidi shops all over country.

 World over the cigarette industry is facing serious problems in developed

countries, it has more or less reached a level of stagnation and even experience

negative growth. This is mainly because of growing health consciousness, steep

duty likes and subsequent price increase had led to a slowdown. Besides

restrictions on smoking are public places ban on sales in railway stations has an

adverse impact on retail cigarette off take. Another area of concern for the

cigarette industry has been the free availability of smuggled brands in the country.

 Cigarettes come under the category of fast moving consumer goods. As such

strong brand names and aggressive marketing assume importance. The industry

therefore undertakes massive investment in brand promotion and setting up of a

marketing infrastructure. The people directly employed in the cigarette industry

are around 4.5 million.

 In India tobacco crop is grown over an area of 4,00,000 hectors, which is hardly

0.3% of the total cropped are India is the third largest producer with production

of 590 million Kg after China and the U.S.

28
P a g e | 29

 2/3rd of Indian tobacco is used in non-cigarette a product of the left over 1/3, half

is exported. Tobacco contributes over Rs.25, 000 million by way of excise revenue

and earns over Rs. 5,000 million by way of foreign exchange.

 Among various types Virginia Flue curved is the most important. Tobacco yield in

India at around 1,486 Kg per hectares. Cigarette industry is broadly classified into

filter and non-filter and further sub classified based on the length.

 The campaign against smoking is mainly directed against cigarettes. The bidi and

chewing product manufactures who primarily fall into the unorganized and small-

scale sectors have more or less escaped the problem.

 Bidi account for about 53%(by weight), chewing of non-smoking products account

for 27% cigarettes as an industry account for around 20% of the tobacco

consumption in the country.

 India’s cigarette industry experienced a growth rate of 10% during 1994-1995 to

1997-1998 mainly because of incentive in the form of lower excise duty but a

present cigarette companies are forced to operate under adverse factors both

internal and external.

 For the Govt. the cigarette segment accounts for nearly 90% of the total excise

collections from the tobacco segment.

29
P a g e | 30

 The growth of the industry largely depends on the excise policies of the govt. price

sensitivity can be seen particularly at the lower end of the market.

 About 1/3 of the world cigarettes amounting to Rs.1,80,000 million are currently

being smuggled India, like many other developing countries, has become a

cigarette smuggler’s paradise out of 97 billion cigarette sticks sold in India. Each

year about 5 billion are smuggled in leading to a loss of about Rs.20, 000 million

in revenue. Out of every 100 packages of smuggled cigarettes sold in the country,

70 to 80 packages are Marlboro lights produced by US based Philip Morris the top

cigarette producer in the world.

 The tobacco companies will be required to indicate nicotine and tar content in

each cigarette in cigar. This information will need to be published on each packet

in the English & Indian languages. All violations will lead to confiscation of goods.

 According to Premed Maharaja Parliamentary affairs mini8ster, the following

products will be covered in the new legislation. Cigarettes, cigars, cigarette,

tobacco pipe tobacco, hukka tobacco, chewing tobacco, panmasala, gutka, or any

nother chewing masala.

 India has one of the highest rates of taxation among countries improving a

specific tax on cigarettes. Infect, about 605 of the price of cigarette in India

represents excise cigarette contribute nearly 10% of the total excise to the

exchequer. The industry contribution over Rs. 60 billion a years as excise duty.

30
P a g e | 31

 Raising taxes on cigarettes, exports say, will drive people into other form of

tobacco use, particularly bidis, which are even more of a health hazard than

cigarettes and practically pay no taxes.

 The advertising standards council of India (ASCI) has adopted a code, which

requires that the advertisements of tobacco-based products should not:

1. Encourage minors or induce non-smokers to use tobacco products.

2. Suggest that the use of tobacco products would lead to extra ordinary

successive various areas.

3. Successive various areas of human Endeavour.

4. Imply any link between tobacco use and manliness female emancipation.

5. Contain any endorsement of tobacco use by celebrities.

6. Depict any model below the age of 25.

7. Show any model smoking or chewing tobacco.

 It is primary in the business of manufacturing and marketing of

cigarettes. The companies major brands are Chaminar, Charms and Gold

premium these have several brand extensions.

 Experts say that the tax on cigarettes should be linked to tar and

nicoti8ne content. In many countries, there is a tendency to use taxes to

either encourage smokers to mover to filter cigarettes or to tie the tax rate to

tar and nicotine context. Tax rate to tar and nicotine content.
