2.1 Introduction 6 ( 3 #
Training is an educational process. People can learn new information, re-learn and reinforce existing knowledge and skills, and most importantly have time to think and consider what new options can help them improve their effectiveness at work. Effective trainings convey relevant and useful information that inform participants and develop skills and behaviors that can be transferred back to the workplace. The goal of training is to create an impact that lasts beyond the end time of the training itself. The focus is on creating specific action steps and commitments that focus peoples attention on incorporating their new skills and ideas back at work. Training can be offered as skill development for individuals and groups. In general, trainings involve presentation and learning of content as a means for enhancing skill development and improving workplace behaviors. Organizational Development is a process that strives to build the capacity to achieve and sustain a new desired state that benefits the organization or community and the world around them. (from the Organizational Development Network website) OD work implies creating and sustaining change. An OD perspective examines the current environment, the present state, and helps people on a team, in a department and as part of an institution identify effective strategies for improving performance. In some situations, there may not be anything wrong at the present time; the group or manager may simply be seeking ways to continue to develop and enhance existing relationships and performance. In other situations, there may be an identifiable issue or problem that needs to be addressed; the OD process aims to find ideas

and solutions that can effectively return the group to a state of high performance. These two processes, Training and Organizational Development, are often closely connected. Training can be used as a proactive means for developing skills and expertise to prevent problems from arising and can also be an effective tool in addressing any skills or performance gaps among staff. Organizational Development can be used to create solutions to workplace issues, before they become a concern or after they become identifiable problem

INTELLEGENT TUTORIAL SYSTEM(ITS) PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION (PI) VIRTUAL REALITY Behavioral methods are more of giving practical training to the trainees. The various methods under Behavioral approach allow the trainee to behavior in a real fashion. These methods are best used for skill development. Page 27

The various methods that come under Behavioral approach are GAMES AND SIMULATIONS BEHAVIOR-MODELING BUSINESS GAMES CASE STUDIES EQUIPMENT STIMULATORS IN-BASKET TECHNIQUE ROLE PLAYS Both the methods can be used effectively to change attitudes, but through different means. Another Method is MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT METHOD MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT The more future oriented method and more concerned with education of the employees. To become a better performer by education implies that management development activities attempt to instill sound reasoning processes. Management development method is further divided into two parts: ON THE JOB TRAINING The development of a manager's abilities can take place on the job. The four techniques for on the job development are: COACHING Page 28

There are many management development techniques that an employee can take in off the job. The few popular methods are: SENSITIVITY TRAINING TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS STRAIGHT LECTURES/ LECTURES SIMULATION EXERCISES Page 29

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

(B)FIELD WORK: Survey was done in ING. The data was collected over a period of six weeks, using well structured questionnaire. The respondents were contacted at their respective retail outlets in various parts of the city. Plan of the data analysis: Planning and analysis of data can be done through three steps. They are editing coding tabulation. These three are very important in analyzing the data. Editing: Editing is the process of examining errors when there is some inconsistency in the responses as entered in the questionnaire or where it contains partial or vague answers. Coding: Coding is necessary to carryout the subsequent operations of tabulating and analyzing data. If coding is not done, it will not be possible to reduce a large number of heterogeneous responses into meaningful categories with the result that the analysis of data would be weak and ineffective and without proper focus. Tabulation: Tabulation comprises sorting of the data into different categories and counting the number of cases that belong to category the simplest way to tabulate is to count the number of responses to one question. This is called univeriate tabulation. Where two or more variables are involved in tabulation, it is called bivariate or multivariate tabulation. In marketing research projects and generally both types of tabulation are used. Page 34

4.4 CONCLUSION
The employers should keep in mind these four rules of thumb when designing the companys strategy and solution: Rule #1: Internet technology is the key to a profound revolution in learning. The effects of Internet technology on employee training are indeed profound; however, technology - any technology - should be seen as a tool, not a strategy or final goal. Just because they have good word processing software doesn't mean you write well. Likewise, the Internet cannot, in and of itself, improve the quality of the learning and the content they put on it. The employers need to use Internet technology combined with high quality, effective learning to maximize learning and retention levels. Rule #2: There is an enduring and important role for traditional classroom instruction. People who believe technology will totally replace great teachers in front of classrooms of highly motivated learners are as misguided as those who believe the Internet is a passing fad. The blended learning solution, i.e., a mixture of classroom and Web-based training is the most effective and comprehensive learning strategy. Page 42
42
Rule #3: Learning is a continuous, cultural process - not simply a series of workshops. Employees retain about 50% to 60% of what they learn in a formal training workshop. Often, employees forget what they have learned within two months of the workshop. Therefore, access and opportunities to learn should be available to anyone, anywhere, and at any time within an organization. Organizational learning is as much about what happens outside formal learning programs as it is about the programs themselves. Rule #4: Strategy development and implementation are never really finished. Employers change as their business changes. They adjust it as their people become more skilled and knowledgeable. The employers redefine it as new technology options become available. And, they constantly test it against the mission and vision of their business, making sure they are always in alignment.
Due to training there is greater stability, flexibility and capacity for growth in an organization. Accidents, scrap and damage to machinery and equipment can be avoided or minimized through training. Even dissatisfaction, complaints, absenteeism, and turnover can be reduced if employees are trained well. Future needs of employees will be met through training and development programmes. Organizational take fresh diploma holders or graduates as apprentices or management trainees. They are absorbed after course completion. Training serves as an effective source of recruitment. Training is an investment in HR with a promise of better returns in future. Though no single training programme yields all the benefits the organization which devotes itself to training and development enhances its HR capabilities and strengthens its competitive edge. At the same time, the employees personal goals are furthered, generally adding to his or her abilities and value to the employer. Ultimately, the objectives of the HR department and also of the organization are also furthered. Page 43
