Executive Summary:
Training is a process through which a person enhances and develops his efficiency, capacity
and effectiveness at work by improving and updating his knowledge and understanding the
skills relevant to perform his or her job.
Training also helps a person cultivate appropriate and desired behavior and attitude towards
the work and people. Unless training is provided, the jobs and lives of employees in
organizations are at stake.
It gives people an awareness of the Rules & Procedures to guide their behavior. It is an
application of knowledge to improve the performance on the Current job or to prepare one for
an intended job.
Organization & individual for their survival & attainment of mutual goals should develop &
progress simultaneously; this can be done mainly through training technique because training
is the most important technique & it is a value addition to the organization through Human
Resource Development for the development of the employee. The employee she/he been
selected, placed & introduced in an organization should be provided with training facilities in
order to adjust & make them suitable for the Job as no organization can get a candidate who
exactly matches with the job & organizational requirements.
The trained employees are the valuable assets to any organization. Training at BSNL is given
when there is a difference between the job requirements & employees present specifications.
Thus employee training is the most important sub-system, specialized & one of the
fundamental operative functions of Human Resource Development. Organizational
efficiency, productivity, progress & development, also organization viability, stability &
growth to greater extent depend on training. If the required training is not provided it leads to
the performance failure of the employees. Training enhances the Competence, Commitment,
and Creativity & Contribution to the organization.
The first step in my study is to find out the effectiveness of training and development in
achieving the goals of the company, to study the different methods of training followed at
BSNL, The basis on which training programmers are planned and scheduled and how the
performance appraisal helps in identifying training needs.
The second step was data collection through various sources I used both primary and
secondary data for the study as both are quiet essential in any type of survey.
Primary data was collected through survey and personal interview, whereas secondary
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 2
data made use of certain reports from the HRD department provided the information as to the
total no of employees, schedule of training programs, number of persons attending it and
other such things.
The secondary data also included textbooks, company data, and internet.
The analysis of the questionnaire was carried out through which the purpose of the study was
served. The analysis was done by using statistical tool in which the study made use of two
test that is : frequency test and correlation.
These tests gave the clear idea about the most significant factors which are positively
correlated and those factors which are not so significant and are not positively correlated.
Hence it helped the study to identify the important factors which are quiet essential for
effective training and development in the organization.
This study gives a detailed idea about the employee’s attitude towards the training program
and how the employees apply the knowledge, skills and attitude in job performance.
Therefore through the analysis the study could be interpreted that the training and
development programs are quiet effective but still needs to be improved on some of the
aspects mentioned above.

Introduction:
Human Resource Management is defined as the people who staff and manage organization. It
comprises of the functions and principles that are applied to retaining, training, developing,
and compensating the employees in organization. It is also applicable to non-business
organizations, such as education, healthcare, etc. Human Resource Management is defined as
the set of activities, programs, and functions that are designed to maximize both
organizational as well as employee effectiveness.
Scope of HRM without a doubt is vast. All the activities of employee, from the time of his
entry into an organization until he leaves, come under the horizon of HRM. The divisions
included in HRM are Recruitment, Payroll, Performance Management, Training and
Development, Retention, Industrial Relation, etc. Out of all these divisions, one such
important division is training and 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.
William James of Harvard University estimated that employees could retain their jobs by
working at a mere 20-30 percent of their potential. His study led him to believe that if these
same employees were properly motivated, they could work at 80-90 percent of their
capabilities. Behavioral science concepts like motivation and enhanced productivity could
well be used in such improvements in employee output. Training could be one of the means
used to achieve such improvements through the effective and efficient use of learning
resources.
Human resources, are the most valuable assets of any organization, with the
machines, materials and even the money, nothing gets done without man-power. The
effective functioning of any organization requires that employees learn to perform their jobs
at a satisfactory level of proficiency. Here is the role of training. Employee training tries to
improve skills or add to the existing level of the knowledge so that the employee is better
equipped to do his present job or to prepare him for higher position with increased
responsibilities. However individual growth is not an end itself. Organization growth needs to
be meshed with the individual’s growth. The concern is for the organization viability, that it
should adapt itself to a changing environment. Employee growth and development has to be
seen in the context of this change. So training can be defined as:

Training is a systematic development of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required by
employees to perform adequately on a given task or job
The need for improved productivity in organization has become universally accepted and that
it depends on efficient and effective training. However, the need for organizations to embark
on staff development programme for employees has become obvious. Absence of these
programme often manifest tripartite problems of incompetence, inefficiency and
ineffectiveness. So training and development aim at developing competences such as
technical, human, conceptual and managerial for the furtherance of individual and
organization growth which makes it a continuous process
Training is the process of assisting a person for enchanting his efficiency and effectiveness at
work by improving and updating his professional knowledge by developing skills relevant to
his work and cultivating appropriate behavior and attitude towards work and people.
Training could be designed either for improving present at work or for preparing a person for
assuming higher responsibilities in further which would call for additional knowledge and
superior skills. Training is different education particularly formal education. While education
is concerned mainly with enhancement of knowledge, training aims essentially at increasing
knowledge, stimulating attitude and imparting skills related to a specific job.
It is a continuous and life long process. Training provides an atmosphere of sharing and
synthesizing, with the help of the trainers, the information already available on the subject.
Training is a time bound activity program. Thus there is a separate specialized discipline of
trainers socializing in the field of human activity.
Meaning:
A business' most important asset is often its people. Training and developing them can be one
of the most important investments a business can make. The right training can ensure that
your business has the right skills to tackle the future. It can also help attract and retain good
quality staff, as well as increasing the job satisfaction of those presently with you - increasing
the chances that they will satisfy your customers.
Thus Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of employee. It is a universal
truth that the human resources available in an organization have to be managed more
efficiently than the material resources comprising of machines and money.

A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 8
Needs of Training:
1. To enable the new recruits to understand work:
A person who is taking up his job for the first time must become familiar with it. For
example, if a fresh graduate is appointed as a clerk in a bank, he must first of all gain
knowledge of work assigned to him.
2. To enable existing employees to update skill and knowledge:
Training is not something needed for the newly recruited staff alone. Even the existing
employees of a concern may require training. Such training enables them to update their
skill and knowledge.
3. To enable an employee who has been promoted to understand his responsibilities:
Training is essential for an employee who has just been promoted to a higher level job.
With an evaluation in his position in the organization, his responsibilities are also going
to multiply.
4. To enable an employee to become versatile:
Sometimes an employee may have to gain knowledge of several related jobs. It will not
be enough if he is only good in the work he does presently.
Importance of Training:
1. Improvement in Skill and Knowledge:
Such training helps the employees to perform his job much better. This benefits the enterprise
as well.
2. Higher Production and Productivity:
If an enterprise has a team of well trained employees there will be rise in production as well
as increase in productivity. Productivity is the input- output ratio
3. Job Satisfaction:
Trained employees will be able to make better use of the making of their skill. This increases
their level of self-confidence and commitment to work. Such employees are bound to have
higher job satisfaction.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited

Trained employees will be able to make better use of materials and machines. This reduces
the rate of wastage and spoilage of materials and also breakage of tools and machines
5. Reduction in Accidents:
Trained employees are aware of safety precautions and so they are alert and cautious. This is
bound to bring down the number of accident in the works place.
6. Reduced Supervision:
Well trained employees do not need much supervision. They can do their work without
having to approach their superior often for guidance.
7. Reduction in Complaints:
‘Only bad workers blame their tools’. An employee who has acquired the necessary skill and
job knowledge would certainly love his job.

Introduction:
Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow.
Development is not primarily skill oriented. Instead; it provides general knowledge and
attitudes which will helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towards development
often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those supplied
by management development programmes, are generally voluntary.
Development is a related process. it covers not only those activities which improve job
performance but also those which bring about growth of the personality;whichhelps
individuals in the progress towards maturity and actualization of their potential capacities so
they become not only good employees but better men and women. Training a person for
bigger and higher job is development. And this may not only imparting specific skills and
knowledge but also inculcating certain personality and mental attitudes.
How to make Training Effective:
a. Determine the training needs through job description, performance appraisal, potential
appraisal and discussion with employees.
b. Prepare a training calendar in discussion with the managers concerned.
c. Define the training objectives specifically.
d. Select the efficient faculty

Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 14
Methods of Training:
1. On the Job Methods:
• It is also known as job instruction training
• It is most commonly used method
• Under this method, the individual is placed on a regular job & taught the skills
necessary to perform that job.
• This method is also called “learning by doing”
• In this method trainee learns under the guidance or supervision of the supervisor or
instructor.
a. Job Rotation: Job rotation involves the transfer of trainees from one job to another and
sometimes from one branch to another. The trainee receives job knowledge & gains
experience from his supervisor. The trainee receives full duties and responsibilities of the
rotated position. It is more suitable for lower level executives.
b. Coaching: In coaching, the superior plays an active role in training the subordinate. The
superior may assign challenging task to the subordinate for the purpose of training.
The superior may assist and advice the subordinate to complete the assigned task. In this
case, the superior acts as a coach in training the subordinate.
A limitation of this method is that the trainee may not have the freedom or opportunity to
express his own ideas.
c. Job Instruction: This method is also known as training through step by step. Under this
method, the trainer explains to the trainee the way of doing the jobs, job knowledge & skills
& allows him to do the job. The trainer appraises the performance of the trainee, provides
feedback, information & corrects the trainer.
D. Committee Assignment: Under this method, a group of trainees are given & asked to
solve an actual organizational problem. The trainees solve the problem jointly. It develops the
team work.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 15
2. Off the Job Method:
• Under this method the trainee learns outside the job and involves himself in full time
learning.
• In this method of training, the trainees is separated from the job situation & his
attention is focused upon learning the material related to his future job performance.
• There is an opportunity for freedom of expression for the trainees.
a. Vestibule Training: In this method, actual work conditions are simulated in a class
room. Material, files, & equipment which are used in actual job performance are also
used in training. This type of training is commonly used for training personnel for clerical
&semi-skilled jobs. The duration of this training ranges from days to few weeks. Theory
can be related to practice in this method.
b. Role Playing: It is defined as a method of human interaction that involves realistic
behavior imaginary situation. This method of training involves action doing & practice,
the participants play the role of certain characters such as the production manager,
mechanical engineer, workers etc. this method is mostly used for developing inter
personal interaction & relations.
c. Lecture Method: This is also called class room training. The special lectures can be
given by the top executive of the organization or by the specialist in a particular field. The
person is generally expert in the particular field. The trainees generally had the note
books to note down the important points said by the expert.
This method can also be used for the new entrant in the organization or to deliver the
message to large group in that case the cost per trainee is less.
d. Conference or Discussion: It is a method in training the clerical, professional &
supervisory personnel. This method involves a group of people who pose ideas, share
facts, ideas, data & draw conclusions all of which contribute to the improvement of job
performance.
In this method it involves two way communications& hence feedback is provided the
participants feel free to speak in small groups.
e. Seminar and Workshops: Management employees can be trained with the help of
seminars and workshops. In seminars, trainees present their papers on work related
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 16
developments. The paper presentations are reviewed by experts. The experts may give
their insights on the topic presented by the trainee.
In workshops there is a good interaction between the trainer and the trainees. The trainer
may present his views on certain developments and then initiate interactive discussion.
The trainees can get insights due to the views expressed by the trainer and other trainees.
Steps involved in Training:
Step 1:
Define the chart part of the organization in which the work has to be done. It is to have a
focused approach of the study. It could either be a particular department, a section, a unit, a
specific group or a staff category.
Step 2:
Use various data collection measures to collect both qualitative as well as quantitative data.
Step 3:
Analyze the entire data collected in order to find out causes of problem areas and priorities
areas, which need immediate attention.
Step 4:
Priorities the different training programmers according to the responses collected.
Step 5:
Record and file the entire data so that it can be used for future reference while designing
training programmers/ training calendar.
Areas of Training:
1. Knowledge: Employee gets knowledge on rules and regulations related to job, staff &
the products or services offered by the company. The aim is to make the employee
fully aware of the business environment.
2. Technical Skills: The employee is trained on specific skill (operating a machine,
handling computers etc).
3. Social Skills: The employee is made to develop a right mental attitude towards the
job, colleagues and the company. He/she is taught to be a team worker/member.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 17
4. Techniques: It involves application of knowledge and skill to various on-the-job
situations.
Systematic Approach to Training:
Training Needs Assessment:
1. Determine: the training needs: This involves finding answers to questions such as ,
whether training is needed? Where it is needed, which training, what is the duration
a. Organizational analysis
b. Task or role analysis
c. Person analysis
2. Organizational Analysis: Study of the entire organization in terms of its objectives,
resources, utilization of these resources.
a. Analysis of objectives – study of short term and long term objectives and the
strategies to fulfill the objectives.
b. Resource utilization analysis: contribution of various departments towards
resources utilization.

reports, etc.
Identify Training Objectives:
Basically there are three types of objectives:
1. Regular
2. Problem Solving
3. Innovative
1. Regular :
a. Orientation: Basic training, introduction about the job, how it has to be performed,
time needed to perform.

2. Problem Solving:
a. To reduce complaints, mistakes, errors, accidents.
b. Training in communication to reduce and handle employee grievances
3. Innovative:
a. Anticipating problems before they occur
b. Team building session with the departments.
Evaluation of a Training Programme:
Evaluation helps in controlling & correcting the training programme. It can be done in
5levels:
1. Reactions: Trainees reactions to the overall training – coverage of topics, method of
presentation, techniques used, doubts were clarified etc.
2. Learning: The trainer’s ability and the trainees abilities can be judged by the content
that is being learnt and how he applies it to the job.
3. Job behavior: Includes manner and extent to which the trainee has applied his
learning to the job.
4. Organization: This evaluation measures the use of training, learning and change in
job behavior in the form of increased productivity, quality, morale, sales turnover and
the like.
5. Ultimate value: Measures the ultimate results of training, its contributions towards
achievements of organization goals like growth, profitability etc.
Methods of Evaluation:
1. Questionnaire: A detailed questionnaire can be used to obtain opinions, reactions,
and views of trainees.
2. Tests: Standard tests can be conducted to check how much the trainees have learnt.
3. Interviews: One to one interview with trainees to know their reactions regarding
training.
4. Human Resource Factors: Evaluation can be done based on employee satisfaction,
which can be determined by decrease in absenteeism, accidents, grievances,
dismissals etc.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 20
5. Studies: Comprehensive studies can be carried out eliciting the opinions and
judgments of trainers, superiors, colleagues etc.
6. Cost benefit Analysis: The cost of training (cost of hiring, tools to learn, training
centers, production stoppage etc) could be compared with its value (in terms of
improved learning, superior performance etc.)
7. Feedback: Identify gaps in the training programmer, correction measures needs to be
taken for improvement.
Introduction:
Development:
Management development is all those activities and programmer when recognized and
controlled have substantial influence in changing the capacity of the individual to perform his
assignment better and ingoing so all likely to increase his potential for future assignments.
Thus, management development is a combination of various training programmer, though
some kind of training is necessary, it is the overall development of the competency of
managerial personal in the light of the present requirement as well as the future requirement.
Development an activity designed to improve the performance of existing managers and to
provide for a planned growth of managers to meet future organizational requirements is
management development.
Definition of Development:
According to Mr. Emoia “Development covers not only those activities which improve job
performance, but those which bring about growth of personality, help individuals in the
progress towards maturity actualization of their potential capacities, so that they become not
only good employees but better men and women”.
Training needs identification for a company:
Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational courses or activities
should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Here the focus should
be placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a constructive outcome. In
order to emphasize the importance of training need identification we can focus on the
following areas:
a. To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 21
b. To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her
job performance.
c. To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring about
a match between individual aspirations and organizational goals.
Identification of training needs, if done properly, provides the basis on which all other
training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is a
process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is important to them,
and the reputation of the organization is also at stake. Identification of training needs is
important from both the organizational point of view as well as from an individual's point of
view. From an organization’s point of view it is important because an organization has
objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all stakeholders or members, including
owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbors. These objectives can be achieved
only through harnessing the abilities of its people, releasing potential and maximizing
opportunities for development. Therefore people must know what they need to learn in order
to achieve organizational goals. Similarly if seen from an individual's point of view, people
have aspirations, they want to develop and in order to learn and use new abilities, people need
appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions. Therefore, to meet people's aspirations,
the organization must provide effective and attractive learning resources and conditions. And
it is also important to see that there is a suitable match between achieving organizational
goals and providing attractive learning opportunities.
Training and development is a function of human resource management concerned with
organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in
organization settings. It has been known by several names, including "Human Resource
Development", "Human Capital Development" and "Learning and Development". These
definitions, of course, are viewed within the context of organizational learning rather than
other contexts (e.g. personal) of training and development.

organizational Validity Inter organizational Validity Selection and Design of Instructional
Programs Training Use of Evaluation Mod. Lots of time training is confused with
development, both are different in certain respects yet components of the same system.
Development implies opportunities created to help employees grow. It is more of long term
or futuristic in nature as opposed to training, which focus on the current job. It also is not
limited to the job avenues in the current organization but may focus on other development
aspects also. At Goodyear, for example, employees are expected to mandatorily attend
training program on presentation skills however they are also free to choose a course on
‘perspectives in leadership through literature’. Whereas the presentation skills program helps
them on job, the literature based program may or may not help them directly.
Similarly many organizations choose certain employees preferentially for programs to
develop them for future positions. This is done on the basis of existing attitude, skills and
abilities, knowledge and performance of the employee. Most of the leadership programs tend
to be of this nature with a vision of creating and nurturing leaders for tomorrow. The major
difference between training and development therefore is that while training focuses often on
the current employee needs or competency gaps, development concerns itself with preparing
people for future assignments and responsibilities. With technology creating more deskilled
workers and with industrial workers being replaced by knowledge workers, training and
development is at the forefront of HRD. The onus is now on the human development
department to take a proactive leadership role in responding to training and business needs.
Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow.
Development is not primarily skill oriented. Instead; it provides general knowledge and

Theories of Training and Development
1. Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model:
The Kirkpatrick evaluation model or theory was developed in 1959 by University of
Wisconsin professor emeritus Donald Kirkpatrick. It consists of four levels of evaluation:
reaction of participants; learning, or the knowledge and skills gained; behavior, or the ability
to apply the new skills; and results, or the organizational impact. Each level of evaluation
builds upon and adds precision to the previous level.
The reaction:
The reaction level measures how training participants react, including their level of
participation; ease and comfort of experience; and the level of effort required to make the
most of the learning. A reaction evaluation is inexpensive and simple to administer using
interaction with the participants, post-training surveys and online questionnaires. The
evaluation can be done immediately after the training ends. It is important that participants
have a positive reaction to the training sessions because a negative reaction leads to poor
learning.
The learning:
Learning evaluations are usually conducted before and after a training program to assess the
impact the program has had on the learning process. Evaluations assess whether participants
have advanced in knowledge, skills and intellectual capacity as a result of the training.
Learning evaluation tools include self-assessment using online questionnaires and tests, and
formal assessment through interviews and observations. Learning evaluation is especially
relevant for technical training because technical skill level changes are usually more
quantifiable.
Behavior:
Behavior evaluation assesses the extent to which training participants apply the learning in
their jobs. The evaluation is usually done over a period of time to determine if the
participants use the new skills and knowledge on the job, improve their performance and
transfer the knowledge to their peers. Tools include observations, questionnaires, tests and
interviews. Behavior evaluations take more time and effort than reaction and learning
evaluations. It is important to involve the line managers and immediate supervisors in the
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 25
process because they are in the best position to observe and assess participant behavior
changes.
Results:
Results evaluation determines the success of a training program in operational and strategic
terms, such as increased sales, reduced expenses, improved quality and reduced cases of
workplace injuries. However, it may not always be possible to correlate improved operational
performance with training. For example, improvements in product quality may be due to
better design tools and more qualified staff, not just a new quality training program. External
factors, such as changes in the economy and the competitive environment, may also influence
operational results.
Factors influencing Training and Development:
a. Top management support
b. Commitment from specialists and generalists
c. Technological advances
d. Organizational complexity
e. Learning principles

Title of the Study:
A Study on Employees Training and Development at Vision Plus Private Limited
Need for the Study:
Training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a
particular job. It utilizes a systematic and organized procedure by which employee learns
technical knowledge and skills. Training refers to the teaching and learning activities carried
on for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization.
Training is closely related with education and development but needs to be differentiated
from these terms. It is aimed at improving the behavior and performance of a person.
Training is a continuous and life long process. Training provides an atmosphere of sharing
synthesizing with the help of the trainers, the information already available on the subject.
Significance of the Study:
The development of any organization depends on its employees. For organizational
productivity training and development assumes great significance. Training aims at
increasing the knowledge and skills of the employee whereas organizational development on
the other hand refers to overall improvement of the organization such as its structure,
objectives, policies and procedures including managers and employees. Organizational
development can be achieved by hiring the services of the professional’s consultants.
Training and development programs are often viewed as part of organizational development.
A better knowledge about these things can facilitate the trainer as well as the trainee in
conducting and benefiting from the training. But training being a very complex process
makes it a bit difficult. So the best way to achieve it is by studying and analyzing the
feedback of employees as well as managers. The project includes collecting information from
staffs of Vision Plus Private Limited, analyzing it, interpreting it, and concluding useful
suggestions from it.

asked several employees about their feelings and opinions on various aspects of their
jobs and organization.
3. Company Data and Reports: Certain reports from the HRD department provided the
information as to the total no of employees, schedule of training programs, number of
persons attending it and other such things, which indicated the employee performance
on the job after attending these training programs.
Data Collection:
To produce a reliable questionnaire both primary and secondary information was used.
Primary data is the first hand information; the questionnaire was prepared by me under the
guidance of the mentor wherein I used Likert five-point scale and closed ended questions for
measuring attitudes of the employees for my study.
The questionnaire comprised 20 questions which covered all the aspects of measuring “the
effectiveness of training and development”.
1. Primary Data:
An instrument is used to collect the required information from the employees and also
interact the employees personally.
Primary data helps us in making observation of employee’s behaviors, talk gestures which
helped me in identifying the attitude of employees towards the training program and the
effectiveness of the training program in the organization.
Primary Data Sources:
a. Questionnaire
b. Observation
c. Interview
2. Secondary Data:
It was collected from the website of the company, and the company personnel, certain reports
from the HR department. The research also took the help of the books and journal.

type of survey.
Research Design:
A research design is the assignment of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a
manner that aims to combine relevance to the search purpose formidable problem that follow
the fact defining the research is the preparation in this study the researcher has made use of
the descriptive research design this is used to determine some definitive purpose with the help
of structured questionnaire to further primary information to focus on the accurate description
of the variable present in the problem
Sampling:
Sampling is concerned with the selection of a subset of individuals from within a population
to estimate characteristics of the whole population. Researchers rarely survey the entire
population because the cost of a census is too high. The three main advantages of sampling
are that the cost is lower, data collection is faster, and since the data set is smaller it is
possible to ensure homogeneity and to improve the accuracy and quality of the data. In the
study researcher has used probability sampling.
Sample Size:
The total number of employees in an organization is 400. It would be time consuming as well
as difficult to interview all 400 employees. So for the purpose of this project report researcher
has selected 100 of population for sampling. The samples were selected using simple random
sampling techniques i.e, every individual in the total population had equal chances of being
selected.
Selection of Sample Respondents
Simple Random Sampling:
A simple random sample is a subset of individuals (a sample) chosen from a larger set (a
population). Each individual is chosen randomly and entirely by chance, such that each
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 34
individual has the same probability of being chosen at any stage during the sampling process,
and each subset of k individuals has the same probability of being chosen for the sample as
any other subset of k individuals. This process and technique is known as simple random
sampling.
Tools Used for Data Analysis:
For this research researcher has used some of the tools like graphical methods, bar diagram
etc for doing the data analysis.
Period of the Study:
This study was conducted in Vision Plus Private Limited with a period of 30 days.
1. Initial five days were spent on data collection.
2. Next 6 days were engaged with the employees to have a personal contact with them.

Suggestions:
1. Employees should decide and determine the training programs that they need so that they
can work more effectively and efficiently, employees should decide some of the training
they would like to undergo.
2. The HR department should conduct briefing and debriefing sessions for employees for
training as to give them an idea as to why this training is been conducted and what they
have to learn in the training program conducted and also after training completion they
should take a feedback as to how effective was the training so that the necessary
improvements in training programs can be considered and implemented.
3. Apart from on-job training programs the HR Department should conduct constant value
addition programs such as Time management, Stress management trainings, group
dynamics, grievance redressal; these will help to add value and is also essential in today’s
business scenario.
4. Performance of every employee undergone training should be evaluated so as to get
Improved quality of training activities, Improve ability of the trainers to relate inputs to
output know their understanding about the training programme conducted
5. Training program should evaluate the abilities, competencies and potentials of the
trainees for a particular job or work skills.
6. It should aim to narrow down the gap between expected level of performance and the
actual level of performance.
7. It should provide new recruits or trainees a scientific pace for imbibing the knowledge
and skills required to discharge their duties and responsibilities meaningfully and
purposefully.
8. The company should conduct training programs at regular intervals, which helps the
employees to enhance their knowledge for their current jobs.
9. The company should design the training program based on the current requirement, which
includes development of technical skills, personality development, time management,
computer knowledge etc.
10. The training session should be made more interactive and participative so that trainees
and trainer are in constant interaction

Conclusion:
HRM is nothing but managing the human resource, from the date of recruitment till the
retirement and each employee needs some training program to develop their skills and ability.
Today we are living in a competitive world in order to survive among other factors, it is the
employees who make the organisation reach their desired goal. Identification the training and
development needs in the employees which is very important in the organisation .it will help
to achieve individual goals has well has organisation goals it also help in productivity of the
present employees and also the standard of living of the employees and their family
When proper training and development is provided from the organisation to the employees, it
helps increase the employee’s interest towards the work and also the organisation, when
training and development is done by the organisation, it helps to recognize the present level
of the employees and what changes are needed to improve their skills, attitude knowledge,
experience and also it is able to recognize the negativity of the present problems in the
programs which are improving the profits, goodwill.
There are lot of problems which are faced by the organisation because of the lack of training
they can be like accidents, injuries fights, work environment, alcohol and harassment,
machineries can also be a major part of failure so training on all this teams is to be given
properly and the organisation should understand the problems of the employees. Training
must be given in factors which are mostly affected on the employees such has on-the-job
programs.
According to the study conducted we can conclude that the overall satisfaction level of
employees in relation to the training programs is moderate.
The employees agree that the training programs help to increase productivity and achieve the
organizational goal.
The employees said that the training programs in the organization are well planned but they
are not satisfied with the duration of the training program and they are also not satisfied with
the evaluation process of training program, they are not evaluated periodically.
The training programs in the organization strongly focus on the technical and managerial
capabilities but these programs are not given adequate importance sometimes because of the
work pressure.
A Study on Employees Training and Development Vision Plus Private Limited
Silicon City College of Commerce and Management Page 80
The employees do not take the training programs seriously, as there are no strict rules and
regulations to attend the training programs.
The employees are not involved in determining the training need analysis. The training
programs are fixed by the top management.
The quality of the training programs is excellent but the employees are not making the best
use of it.
Therefore we can conclude that the training programs in the organization are excellent but
they have been not utilized properly by the employees as the training programs are not mad
compulsory to all the departments. There is a broader scope to develop and improve its
training programs in future in order to meet the requirements of the global market
