 can further be strengthened with continued training. Threats can be reduced byidentifying the areas where training is required. And, opportunities can be exploited bybalancing it against costs. For this approach to be successful, the HR department of thecompany 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 everyindividual in the organization. At this level, the organization checks whether anemployee is performing at desired level or the performance is below expectation. If thedifference between the expected performance and actual performance comes out to bepositive, then certainly there is a need of training. However, individual competence canalso be linked to individual need. The methods that are used to analyze the individualneed are:• Appraisal and performance review • Peer appraisal 

• Competency assessments• Subordinate appraisal • Client feedback • Customer feedback • Self -assessment or self-appraisal

Operational level – Training Need analysis at operational level focuses on the workthat is being assigned to the employees. The job analyst gathers the information onwhether the job is clearly understood by an employee or not. He gathers this informationPage 17

Page 18: sahara hrm

8/3/2019 sahara hrm

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 18/93

through technical interview, observation, psychological test; questionnaires asking theclosed ended as well as open ended questions, etc. Today, jobs are dynamic and keepchanging over the time. Employees need to prepare for these changes. The job analystalso gathers information on the tasks needs to be done plus the tasks that will be requiredin the future. Based on the information collected, training Need analysis (TNA) is done.

Benefits of need assessmentTraining programs are designed to achieve specific goals that meet felt needs. There aremany 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 thetrainees.3. Assessment makes training department more accountable and more clearly linked toother human resource activities, which make the training programs easier to sell toline managers.

TRAINING-DESIGNThe 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 achievedby the end of training program i.e. what the trainees are expected to be able to do at theend 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.Page 18

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 21/93

 

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

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 programbecomes clear, trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methodsor 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 Page 21

Page 22: sahara hrm

8/3/2019 sahara hrm

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 22/93

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

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 IMPLEMENTATIONTo put training program into effect according to definite plan or procedure is calledtraining implementation. Training implementation is the hardest part of the systembecause one wrong step can lead to the failure of whole training program. Even the besttraining program will fail due to one wrong action. Training implementation can besegregated 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 implementationPage 22

Page 23: sahara hrm

phase requires continual adjusting, redesigning, and refining. Preparation is the mostimportant factor to taste the success. Therefore, following are the factors that are kept inmind 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 coursecontent and is flexible in his approach.

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

Establishing rapport with participants – There are various ways by which a trainercan 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 Page 23

Page 24: sahara hrm

8/3/2019 sahara hrm

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 24/93

• 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 importantto 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 theprogram will run. The following information needs to be included:• Kinds of training activities • Schedule • Setting group norms • Housekeeping arr angements• 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.Page 24

TRAINING EVALUATIONThe process of examining a training program is called training evaluation. Trainingevaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluationensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their respectiveworkplaces, or to the regular work routines.

Purposes of Training EvaluationThe five main purposes of training evaluation are:Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives andlinking it to learning outcomes.Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge, transferof knowledge at the work place, and trainingPage 25

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

Principles of Training Evaluation:

Training need should be identified and reviewed concurrently with the business andpersonal 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 andevaluated.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.Need of evaluation of Training:Training cost can be significant in any business. Most organizations are prepared to incurthese cost because they expect that their business to benefit from employees developmentand 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.Page 27

Page 28: sahara hrm

8/3/2019 sahara hrm

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 28/93

The Trainee wants to confirm that the course has met personal expectations and satisfiedany 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 ornot.

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 inattending training results in to value and how deficiency in knowledge and skillredressed.The problem for many organizations is not so much why training should be evaluated buthow. Most of the organizations overlook evaluation because financial benefits aredifficult 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.

PROCESS OF TRAINING EVALUATIONBefore 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 ofresources because at most of the times candidates are unaware of the objectives andlearning outcomes of the program. Once aware, they are asked to give their opinions onthe methods used and whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences andlearning stylePage 28

Page 29: sahara hrm

8/3/2019 sahara hrm

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sahara-hrm 29/93

During Training: It is the phase at which instruction is started. This phase usuallyconsist 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 whethertraining has had the desired effect at individual department and organizational levels.

There are various evaluation techniques for this phase.Techniques of evaluationThe various methods of training evaluation are:• Observation • Questionnaire • Interview • Self diaries • Self recording of specific incidents 

WHAT TO EVALUATE/LEVEL OF EVALUATIONDonald 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.Page 29

PRIMARY DATAIn primary data collection, you collect the data yourself using methods such as interviewsand questionnaires. The key point here is that the data you collect is unique to you andyour research and, until you publish, no one else has access to it.I have tried to collect the data using methods such as interviews and questionnaires. Thekey point here is that the data collected is unique and research and, no one else hasaccess to it. It is done to get the real scenario and to get the original data of present.

DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUEQuestionnaire:Questionnaire are a popular means of collecting data, but are difficult to design and oftenrequire many rewrites before an acceptable questionnaire is produced. The features

included in questionnaire are:Theme and covering letter

Instruction for completion

Types of questions

Length

Interview:This technique is primarily used to gain an understanding of the underlying reasons andmotivations for people’s attitudes, preferences or behavior. The interview was done by asking a general question. I encourage the respondent to talk freely. I have used anPage 39

 unstructured format, the subsequent direction of the interview being determined by therespondent’s initial reply, and come to know what is its initial problem is.

SAMPLING METHODOLOGYSampling technique:

Initially, a rough draft was prepared keeping in mind the objective of the research. Apilot study was done in order to know the accuracy of the questionnaire. The finalquestionnaire was arrived only after certain important changes were done. Thus mysampling came out to be judgmental and continent.

Sampling Unit:The respondents who were asked to fill out questionnaires are the sampling units. Thesecomprise of kartavyayogis of corporate HR,S ahara India Pariwar , who had attended thepersonality development workshop.

Sampling Size: 20

SECONDARY DATAAll methods of data collection can supply quantitative data (numbers, statistics or

financial) or qualitative data (usually words or text). Quantitative data may often bepresented in tabular or graphical form. Secondary data is data that has already beencollected by someone else for a different purpose to yours.Page 40
