INTRODUCTION
Employee training is important sub-system of Human Resource Development. Employee training is
specialized function and is one of the fundamental operative functions for human resource
management.
Training is the art of increasing the knowledge for doing a particular job. Training is a planned
process to modify the attitude, knowledge skill, etc. Through learning to acquire effective performance
on activity on range of activities like investment in plant, machinery, and equipment etc., an
organization improves its effectiveness to a large extent by investing in its HR for developing their
skill, efficiency and motivation.
MEANING OF DEVELOPMENT
Development refers to learning opportunities designed to help employees grow such opportunities do
not have to be limited to improving employee’s performance on their current job. Development is an
ongoing continuous process, while training is a one-short deal. Development refers to behavioral
modification of people through continuous learning process. It relates to non-technical organizational
functions such as problem solving, decision making.
TRAINING NEED AND IDENTIFICATION
Training needs identification (or) needs assessment diagnoses: a) present problems, b) future
challenges to be meeting through training and development. Organization would do well to assess the
training needs of their employees.
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRAINING GOALS
Once training needs are assessed, Training and Development goals must be established. The training
goals are: a) measurable b) verifiable. Without clearly set goals, it is not possible to design a training
and development program.
DESIGNING TRAINNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The actual design of program is the foundation effective training and development. Several issues are
involved in designing training and development program. The design of training programs covers the
planning and creation of training and development programs. Training and development programs
often rely on the principles and theories of various behavioral sciences such as psychology and
sociology.
IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAINING PROGRAM
Once the training program has been designed, it needs to be implemented. The training program
implementation involves actions on the following lines:

370
 Deciding the location and organizing training and other facilities.
 Scheduling the training program.
 Conduct of training.
 Monitoring the progress of trainees.
EVALUATION RESULTS
The last stage in the training and development process is the evaluation of results. More money spent
on training and development – how far the program has been useful must be determined.
TRAINING METHODS
There are two methods of training program are there. They are the:
 On-the-job training method (OJT).
 Off-the-job training method.
TYPES OF ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
 Job Instruction Training (JIT).
 Coaching.
 Understudy.
 Mentoring.
 Job rotation.
 Apprenticeship training.
JOB INSTRUCTION TRAINING (JIT)
JIT is a procedure for training employee’s one-one-one. It involves an orderly period of instruction
provided by a designated trainer. This method of training is appropriate for acquisition or improvement
of motor skills and routine and repetitive operations. There are four steps involved in this form of
training.
Preparation: Trainee is prepared in terms of his existing skills, securing his interest
and attention.
Presentation: The trainee is presented job operations as a model to copy.
Performance: The trainee is asked to try out the trainer’s instructions.
Follow up: The trainee does the job independently without supervision and gets
feedback on the same.
COACHING (TRAINING BY SUPERVISORS)
Coaching is similar to the JIT. In this method, the superior teaches or guides the new employee about
the knowledge and skills of a specifically defined job. Coaching is an activity of guiding a manager by
a senior one. A senior manager must play an active role in guiding and teaching skills. The superior
point out the mistakes committed by the new employee and also gives suggestions to improve upon.
UNDERSTUDY
The understudy techniques are similar to coaching with the different that the department manager may
pick-up one individual from his unit to come for his understudy. He will then guide him to learn his job
and tackle with problems that confront the manager daily.

371
MENTORING
Mentoring is about teaching and learning. It plays an important role in learning new knowledge and
skills for all human beings. Mentoring is a tool that organizations can use to develop and grow their
people.
Mentoring refers to program in which companies select mentors. These mentors are also called as
advisors, counselors, and role models for trainees or let trainees choose their own. Mentors offer advice
not only on how to perform specific tasks, but also on how to succeed in the company, how the
company’s corporate culture and politics work, and how to handle to delicate or sensitive situations.
Mentors provide feedback and suggestions to assist trainees in improving inadequate work.
JOB ROTATION
Job rotation is a very good method of transforming functional specialist into a generalist executive. The
job rotation refers to transfer of managers from one job to another or from one department to other
department or from one section (unit) to another section (unit) in a planned manner. This type of
training method is more appropriate for developing multiskilling, operational flexibility, providing
satisfaction from routine jobs and broadening the overall perspective of the trainee.
APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING
Apprenticeship is a formal agreement between an individual who wants to learn a skill and an
employer who needs a skilled worker. Apprenticeship training is an “earningwhile learning”
arrangement for a required them. Each apprentice or trainee will be given a program of assignments
according to a pre-determined schedule which provides for efficient training in trade skills.
ADVANTAGES OF ON-THE-TRAINING METHODS
 No special facilities and additional staff needed.
 Real life situation; not stimulated.
 Trainee can establish work relationship.
 Supervisors can directly observe the working skills of trainee.
DISADVANTAGES OF ON-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS
 Cost lost in departmental budgets.
 Risk to machines, equipment’s etc.
 Part time instructor may lack skill in training.
 Lack of time due to pressure of production.
OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
Under off-the-job training methods, the principle of learning by acquiring knowledge rather than by
doing is adopted and the employees are trained away from the actual performance.
TYPES OF OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING
 Lectures.
 Discussion method.
 Demonstration method.
 Simulation.
 Case study.
 Role playing.
 Brain storming.
 Field trips.

372
 Vestibule training.
LECTURES
Lecture is a very popular and simple method. The concepts of ideas, theories and principles are
explained through lectures. The speaker is an expert who collects the material and delivers a lecture to
the trainee executive. This method is found more appropriate in situations where some information is
required to be shared to a large number of audiences. It is a low cost method.
DISCUSSION METHODS
Discussion method uses a lecture to provide the learners with context that is supported, elaborated,
explained or expanded on through interactions among the trainees and between trainer and trainees.
A group will constitute a team for discussion. The group learns through discussion a paper on a
selected subject. The paper is written by one or more trainees. Discussion on a statement made by the
person in charge of the seminar or on a document prepared by an expert.
DEMONSTRATION METHOD
Demonstration method is a physical display of the form, outline, (or) a substance of object (or) event
for the purpose of increasing knowledge of such objects (or) events. Demonstration involves ‘showing
what (or) showing how’.
GAMES AND SIMULATIONS
Games and simulations are structured competitions and operational models used as training situations
to compete with real-life scenarios. The benefits of games and simulations include the improvement of
problem-solving and decision making skills, a greater understanding of the organizational whole, the
ability to study actual problems, and the power to capture the student’s interest. This method is
applicable when
 Actual on the job practice is expensive.
 Might result in serious injury.
 A costly error.
 The destruction of valuable materials (or) resources.
CASE STUDY
Under this method, the cases based on actual business situations are prepared and given to the trainee
managers for discussion and arriving at a proper decision. Managers are given opportunity to find out
the latent problems and suggest alternatives to tackle them. This is also called decision making under
uncertainty.
ROLE PLAYING
The participants have to assume role person in the simulated situation. They have to react to one
another in the similar manner as they would be doing a job as a manager in real situation. A trainee will
be assigned a role to play by him.
This method is mostly used for developing interpersonal interactions and relations among the
employees working in sales, marketing, purchasing, and the supervisors who deal with people.
BRAINSTORMING
Brainstorming method is one of the training methods and this only method is used in recent times
which attempts at developing creative ability through uninhibited expression in a formal setting.
Brainstorming is a process for developing creative solutions to problems.
FIELD TRIPS
A filed trip (or) field work (or) training in the field is a journey by a group of people to a place away
from their normal environment.

373
VESTIBULE TRAINING
Vestibule training is applicable for production process. It is a method in which trainees learn on the
actual (or) on stimulated equipment they would use on the job. The trainee is exposed on artificial
working environment.
ADVANTAGES OF OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS
 More time available.
 Trainee’s specific difficulties are easier to explore.
 Relaxed atmosphere to learning.
 Easier to obtain full attention of trainees.
DISADVANTAGES OF OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS
 Cost of external facilities.
 Resistance of trainees being away from home.
 Difficulty of transferring learning to work situation.
 More time consuming.
BENEFITS OF TRAINING
 Reduction of cost of production.
 Maximum utilization of materials and machines.
 Minimum possibility of accident.
 Improvement in quality and quantity of production.
 Minimum need of supervision.
LIMITATIONS OF TRAINING
 Time consuming.
 Increase in responsibility.
 Costly affair.
 Increase in competition.
 Creates feeling of boredom.
