CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that the project report entitled “Evaluating training effectiveness: A
Exploratory Study” submitted by Shruti Thakur and Monika is a bonafide piece of work
conducted under my supervision and guidance. No part of this work has been submitted for any
other degree of any other university. The data sources have been duly acknowledged. It may be
considered for evaluation in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the award of degree of
Master of Business Administration.
The study is related with performance appraisal in Milk Plant Verka. Performance appraisal is a
formal, structured system of measuring and evaluating an employee’s job related behaviors and
outcomes to discover how and why the employee is presently performing on the job and how the
employee can perform more effectively in the future so that the employee, organization, and
society all benefit.
This study has detailed analysis regarding evaluation of performance appraisal. The report is split
into various sections, which concern the various tasks that form an integral part of report.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 TRAINING
Training can be defined as any attempt to improve performance of employees by increasing
ability of employees through learning. Need for training is estimated by any deficiency in
performance of employees.
TRAINING NEED = STANDARD PERFORMANCE – ACTUAL
PERFORMANCE
There is always a difference among training, education and development. Training generally
refers to impartation of specific skills. Development refers to the learning opportunity that helps
the employees to grow. Education is normal classroom learning.
Training is a systematic attempt which is practiced to develop human resources that is mainly a
main component in any organization. Main purpose of is to obliterate gap between employees,
potential employees and job requirements. Training is a short term process that utilizes
systematic and organized procedure by which employees learn technical knowledge and skills
that are required in the work environment of any organization. Training helps an individual to
learn how to perform his job satisfactorily. Training is mostly initiated by management of
organization. It might be the result of some outside motivation, where as development is result of
internal motivation.
Development can complement training because individuals can exert their full potential only
when leaning process is very crucial.
It is also required for making succession planning to help any employee to be eligible for
planned change in organization.
2. On-job training- this is one of the commonly used type of training. It is also an effective
method of training the operative personnel. In this method the worker is trained on-job
and at his work place.
3. Off-job training- this type of training can be given a number of ways. Off-job training
consists of lectures, conferences, group discussions, case studies etc.
6. Vestibules- the term vestibule training is used to impart training in a class room in the
plant. It means that workers trained at some place in the factory.
1.6 METHODS OF TRAINING
A number of methods of training are employed to train workforce within the organization.
Training methods are categorized into two groups-
(a) On-the job
On the job methods- mainly refers to the methods that employed in the work place, during
the services of the employees. Whereas off-the job methods are generally employed for the
people who are not working. On-the-job training is delivered to employees while they perform
their regular jobs. In this way, they do not lose time while they are learning. After a plan is
developed for what should be taught, employees should be informed of the details. A timetable
should be established with periodic evaluations to inform employees about their progress. On-
the-job techniques include orientations, job instruction training, apprenticeships, internships and
assistantships, job rotation and coaching.
Training techniques are the means that are mainly employed in the training methods. Among the
above shown techniques lectures, films, audio cassettes, case studies, role playing, video tapes
and simulation are most commonly employed
(a) LECTURES- present training material verbally and are used when the goal is to present a
great deal of material to many people. It is more cost effective to lecture to a group than to train
people individually. Lecturing is one-way communication and as such may not be the most
effective way to train. Also, it is hard to ensure that the entire audience understands a topic on
the same level; by targeting the average attendee you may under train some and lose others.
Despite these drawbacks, lecturing is the most cost-effective way of reaching large audiences.
(b) ROLE PLAYING AND SIMULATION- These are training techniques that attempt to
bring realistic decision making situations to the trainee. Likely problems and alternative
solutions are presented for discussion. The adage there is no better trainer than experience is
exemplified with this type of training. Experienced employees can describe real world
experiences, and can help in and learn from developing the solutions to these simulations. This
method is cost effective and is used in marketing and management training.
(c) AUDIOVIUAL METHODS- such as television, videotapes and films are the most
effective means of providing real world conditions and situations in a short time. One advantage
is that the presentation is the same no matter how many times it's played. This is not true with
lectures, which can change as the speaker is changed or can be influenced by outside constraints.
The major flaw with the audiovisual method is that it does not allow for questions and
interactions with the speaker, nor does it allow for changes in the presentation for different
audiences.
(d) JOB ROTATION- involves moving an employee through a series of jobs so he or she can
get a good feel for the tasks that are associated with different jobs. It is usually used in training
for supervisory positions. The employee learns a little about everything. This is a good strategy
for small businesses because of the many jobs an employee may be asked to do.
(e) APPERENTICESHIPS- develop employees who can do many different tasks. They
usually involve several related groups of skills that allow the apprentice to practice a particular
trade, and they take place over a long period of time in which the apprentice works for, and with,
the senior skilled worker. Apprenticeships are especially appropriate for jobs requiring
production skills.
(f) INERNSHIPS- are usually a combination of classroom and on-the-job training. They are
often used to train prospective managers or marketing personnel.
(g) PROGRAMMED LEARNING- computer-aided instruction and interactive video all have
one thing in common: they allow the trainee to learn at his or her own pace. Also, they allow
material already learned to be bypassed in favor of material with which a trainee is having
difficulty. After the introductory period, the instructor need not be present, and the trainee can
learn as his or her time allows. These methods sound good, but may be beyond the resources of
some small businesses.
2) To ensure that there is any change in caliber of trainee due to training programs.
4. Evaluation must provide the means and focus for trainer to be able to appraise
themselves, their practices and their product.
2. Transfer validity: what has been learnt during training, has it been transferred on the job?
Has it enhanced performance in workplace?
3. Intra-organizational validity: is performance of the new group of trainees, for which the
training programs were developed, consistent with the performance of original training
group?
4. Inter- organizational validity: can a training program validated in one firm be used
successfully in another company.
2) An on-course activity
1) PRE-COURSE QUESTIONNAIRE
This is a very common approach that is generally employed in most of the organizations. A
fortnight to a month prior to the start of programs, when persons are sent a questionnaire, usually
via line managers, who may also be asked to comment. In the document the program is detailed
and the key or important learning points or subjects are listed. The learner is asked to comment
on inclusion of these subjects and their personal needs for these skills, whether any of the
subjects are relevant and should be excluded and whether any of the omitted subjects is included.
If responses to this questionnaire are received in reasonable time then modifications in the
programs can be made. This takes less time at this stage than later on.
Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may
leave or move up in the organization.
Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of a
sufficiently knowledgeable staff.
Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the
company's competitive position and improves employee morale.
Ensuring adequate human resources for expansion into new programs.
Research has shown specific benefits that a small business receives from training and developing
its workers, including:
Increased productivity.
Reduced employee turnover.
Increased efficiency resulting in financial gains.
Decreased need for supervision.
Employees frequently develop a greater sense of self-worth, dignity and well-being as they
become more valuable to the firm and to society. Generally they will receive a greater share of
the material gains that result from their increased productivity. These factors give them a sense
of satisfaction through the achievement of personal and company goal.
Once you have determined where training is needed, concentrate on the content of the
program. Analyze the characteristics of the job based on its description, the written narrative of
what the employee actually does. Training based on job descriptions should go into detail about
how the job is performed on a task-by-task basis. Actually doing the job will enable you to get a
better feel for what is done.
Individual employees can be evaluated by comparing their current skill levels or performance
to the organization's performance standards or anticipated needs. Any discrepancies between
actual and anticipated skill levels identify a training need.
Once you have decided what training is necessary and where it is needed, the next decision is
who should be trained? For a small business, this question is crucial. Training an employee is
expensive, especially when he or she leaves your firm for a better job. Therefore, it is important
to carefully select who will be trained.
Training programs should be designed to consider the ability of the employee to learn the
material and to use it effectively, and to make the most efficient use of resources possible. It is
also important that employees be motivated by the training experience. Employee failure in the
program is not only damaging to the employee but a waste of money as well. Selecting the right
trainees is important to the success of the program.
The goals of the training program should relate directly to the needs determined by the
assessment process outlined above. Course objectives should clearly state what behavior or skill
will be changed as a result of the training and should relate to the mission and strategic plan of
the company. Goals should include milestones to help take the employee from where he or she is
today to where the firm wants him or her in the future. Setting goals helps to evaluate the
training program and also to motivate employees. Allowing employees to participate in setting
goals increases the probability of success.
1.14 TRAINER
Who actually conducts the training depends on the type of training needed and who will be
receiving it. On-the-job training is conducted mostly by supervisors; off-the-job training, by
either in-house personnel or outside instructors.
In-house training is the daily responsibility of supervisors and employees. Supervisors are
ultimately responsible for the productivity and, therefore, the training of their subordinates.
These supervisors should be taught the techniques of good training. They must be aware of the
knowledge and skills necessary to make a productive employee. Trainers should be taught to
establish goals and objectives for their training and to determine how these objectives can be
used to influence the productivity of their departments. They also must be aware of how adults
learn and how best to communicate with adults. Small businesses need to develop their
supervisors' training capabilities by sending them to courses on training methods. The investment
will pay off in increased productivity.
There are several ways to select training personnel for off-the-job training programs. Many
small businesses use in-house personnel to develop formal training programs to be delivered to
employees off line from their normal work activities, during company meetings or individually at
prearranged training sessions.
There are many outside training sources, including consultants, technical and vocational
schools, continuing education programs, chambers of commerce and economic development
groups. Selecting an outside source for training has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest
advantage is that these organizations are well versed in training techniques, which is often not
the case with in-house personnel.
The disadvantage of using outside training specialists is their limited knowledge of the
company's product or service and customer needs. These trainers have a more general knowledge
of customer satisfaction and needs. In many cases, the outside trainer can develop this
knowledge quickly by immersing himself or herself in the company prior to training the
employees. Another disadvantage of using outside trainers is the relatively high cost compared to
in-house training, although the higher cost may be offset by the increased effectiveness of the
training.
Whoever is selected to conduct the training, either outside or in-house trainers, it is important
that the company's goals and values be carefully explained.
Having planned the training program properly, you must now administer the training to the
selected employees. It is important to follow through to make sure the goals are being met.
Questions to consider before training begins include:
Location.
Facilities.
Accessibility.
Comfort.
Equipment.
Timing.
Careful attention to these operational details will contribute to the success of the training
program.
Put emphasis on helping the students to learn rather than merely teaching them. Because the
trainees take an active rather than passive role in their skills will be developed more quickly and
should be retained for longer.
Make sure that the training objectives are derived from the task analysis and relate what has
students actually need to know. This may mean leaving out what has come to be the accepted
content of the course but it does not prevent the inclusion of material for confidence and
motivation reasons. An essential part of finding out what they need to know is determining what
they already know.
Make sure that the trainees are competent at one level before proceeding to the next.
This provides a sound basis of future learning and you can assist this by having a logical flow
that goes from
Expectation is one of the strongest motivators. Obviously you should not express false
expectation. Tests should only be given to those employees who are ready for it. To do otherwise
is insufficient and could be dangerous.
Because we assess our trainee against the, there is no reason why all our trainees shouldn’t get
the higher grade. We are assessing trainees against preferences against each other.
When implementing a training score it is important to track, collect, compile, analyze and report
six different types of training data collected over different time periods. These types of data are
indicators, reactions, learning, application, business impact and return on investment.
Training score card includes:
1. Indicators:
Employees trained
Total training hours
Training hours per employee
Training investment as per percentage of payroll
Cost per participant
2. Reaction
This includes the reaction of the employees after attending training program which is being
imparted to them. This reaction would make the trainee to come to know that the employee is
satisfied with the training or not
3. Learning
This includes the level of learning of the employees that they have learned those things which
were being told to them in training or not
4. Behavior application
5. Business impact
At the level actual business results of the training program are identified. A paper based or
automated follow up questionnaire can be used together this data. Depending on the training
programs performance and business objectives.
6. Return on investment
At this level monetary benefits of the program are compared with cost of program. The cost
should be fully loaded. The methods used to convert data should be reported.
Training of the employees is very essential because work force is an invaluable asset to an
organization. Training is important for following reasons:
1. Higher employee morale- a trained worker derives happiness and job satisfaction from his
work. He feels happy when his performance is up to the mark. This also gives him job security
and ego satisfaction. Employees will properly look after a worker who performs well.
2. Less supervision- A trained worker will be most disciplined and dependent. He will not like
any type of interference in his work and may not give any opportunity to the supervisor for
complaint. Such workers can take more advantage in their work. The degree of supervision
required for a employee will be less.
4. Less wastage- A trained worker will know the art of operating the machine properly. He will
also use the material and equipments in a systematic way which causes less wastage. The amount
spent on training of the worker will prove to be asset to organization.
5. Increased productivity- training improves the performance of the employees. Increased skill
and efficiency result in better quantity and quality of production.
6. Easy adaptability- A trained worker can be more adaptable to charge than on untrained one.
The trained person will adapt to new situation more easily because they have basic technical
knowledge.
7. Reduced turnovers and absenteeism- Labour turnover and absenteeism are mainly due to
job dissatisfaction. A satisfied person may not like to leave job and try at a new place. Training
helps in reducing labour absenteeism by increasing job satisfaction among them.

REVIEWS
OF
LITERATURE
Review of literature
These studies related to effectiveness of development programs in rural india which was
conducted in the previous years, all studies are not included due to shortage of time, so some are
the following reviews of the studies conducted in past time.
Oslen(1996) studied that transfer component of training evaluation was examined in a study
conducted in 1996. 'Transfer' is the evidence that what was learned is actually being used on the
job for which it was intended. The study, through a survey technique, examined what
organisations are doing to evaluate the transfer of training (as described by the Kirkpatrick
taxonomy of the four levels of training evaluation). In addition, training and support strategies
which are judged to be the most effective in enhancing transfer were identified.
Porter(1997) found that the field of diversity training, being relatively new, can be enhanced by
using some of the concepts and methods put into practice for many years by intercultural
trainers. Distinguishing between diversity and intercultural training is not always easy. Currently,
the two types of training differ more in terms of their goals than in other ways. Intercultural
trainers offer four main components to their diversity counterparts: culture, behavior, perception,
and communication. This article expands upon these components, defining them, describing the
rationale for their inclusion in diversity training, and suggesting specific training methods that
diversity trainers could use when incorporating these concepts into their training sessions or
those intercultural trainers could use when conducting diversity training.
Padhi (2003) studied that Total Quality Management (TQM) is a never ending process of
improving work processes. It operates according to the premise that organisations cannot rest
comfortably without continuously improving whatever is being done. There has to be a culture of
continuous improvement and everyone in the organisation must strive towards it. This could be
accomplished only through continuous training. The present study seeks to examine the role of
training as well as measuring its effectiveness for successful implementation of TQM. For this
purpose, data have been retrieved from a public sector enterprise manufacturing crude steel in
India. The findings of the study are based purely on primary survey. Pearson's Correlation
Coefficient with their significance levels have been used to measure the effectiveness of TQM
training and the correlation between TQM training and selected factors. The authors have found
that training creates awareness, builds employees' commitment to quality policy and strategy,
facilitates teamwork, enhances performance standards, and bolsters the skills and abilities of
employees. However, the organisation needs to focus more upon improving communication
competencies, multiple skill development and customer value training. Successful TQM training
in the organisation needs more budgetary allocation and commitment, support and enthusiasm of
the top management.
Gray(2007) studied experienced legal information professionals who are responsible both for
designing and delivering in-house training sessions, and for running the BIALL Training the
Trainer seminar for the last three years. The aim of this article is threefold: to explore the
rationale for providing training; to examine the groundwork and preparation necessary to create
the right training culture; and to offer practical guidance on how to deliver successful training
activities.
Nucbe (2009) discussed various ways in which the financial sector could impact on economic
growth and development and in the process makes reference to those theoretical underpinnings.
We present the structure and characteristics of financial system in Africa. The main
characteristics of financial system in Africa that may affect economic development include weak
regulation environment, weak legal system, bank dominated financial system, wide interest rate
spreads, and poor corporate governance practices.
Black (ND) found Increased internationalization in the economic, political, and social arenas has
led to greater interpersonal cross-cultural conflict. Because much of this contact has not been
successful, cross-cultural training has been proposed by many scholars as a means of facilitating
more effective interaction. A review of the cross-cultural training literature is presented, and it is
determined that cross-cultural training in general is effective. The article also offers a theoretical
framework based on social learning theory for understanding past research and for guiding future
research; this is important because in this context variables seem to operate differently in
international versus domestic areas.
Jones (ND) studied ascertains whether there are differences in the formality of training and
development initiatives adopted by SMEs in three business growth categories; and the level of
growth at which a more formalized approach to training and development occurs. The results
show the adoption of formal training and development initiatives increases with SME growth.
The transition toward more formal practices generally begins early in the growth process, as
evidenced by a greater significant increase between low and moderate than moderate and high
growth firms, in the proportion of SMEs that implement formal training and development
initiatives. The results also demonstrate commitment to management development increases with
business growth. There is a greater significant difference between low and moderate than
moderate and high growth SMEs, in the proportion of firms that implement management
development practices. However, differences between high compared with moderate growth
enterprises, suggest management development may be more evolutionary. Taken together,
results suggest that as SMEs progress through development pathways, they adopt a more
‘strategic’ approach to training and development, characterised by an increasing degree of
commitment of resources to formal training and development initiatives.
The perusal of literature reveals that there had been many researches regarding the
training effectiveness. From above reviews it can be said that training is very effective in
organizations and training and development programs tend to bring positive changes in
employees and these programs play important role in increase in productivity of organization and
also help in development of skill setups of employees. So, it can be concluded that training is
effective for both organization and employees

NEED, SCOPE AND
OBJECTIVES OF
THE STUDY
The study is needed to identify the effectiveness of development and training programs in
organizations and changes which occur due to these programs. To know the different methods of
training and changes required in these existing training programs. The need of this study arises to
know whether these programs are implemented or not.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of study conducted i.e. EVALUATING TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS is limited to
Jalandhar city. The study conducted not only provides information related to changes occur after
conducting training and development programs in organizations but also to know which of
different methods of training is most effective. This study could help the us by knowing the need
of training and ideas to make it more effective.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. The Research
Methodology includes the various methods and techniques for conducting a Research.
“Marketing Research is the systematic design, collection, analysis and reporting of data and
finding relevant solution to a specific marketing situation or problem”. D. Slesinger and
M.Stephenson in the encylopedia of Social Sciences define Research as “the manipulation of
things, concepts or symbols for the purpose of generalizing to extend, correct or verify
knowledge, whether that knowledge aids in construction of theory or in the practice of an art”.
Research is, thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its
advancement. The purpose of Research is to discover answers to the Questions through the
application of scientific procedures. Our project has a specified framework for collecting data in
an effective manner. Such framework is called “Research Design”. The research process
followed by us consists of following steps:
Research Design:-
Conclusion Oriented Research:-Research designed to assist the decision maker in the
situation. In other words it is a research when we give our own views about the research.
Descriptive Research:-A type of conclusive research which has as its major objective
the description of something-usually market characteristics or functions. In other words
descriptive research is a research where in researcher has no control over variable. He
just presents the picture which has already studied.
Sample Design-Sampling can be defined as the section of some part of an aggregate or totality
on the basis of which judgement or an inference about aggregate or totality is made. The
sampling design helps in decision making in the following areas:-
Universe of the Study-The universe comprises of two parts as theoretical universe and
accessible universe
Sample Size- Sample size is the number of elements to be included in a study. Keeping
in mind all the constraints 50 respondents was selected.
Sample Unit- Sampling unit is the basic unit containing the elements of the universe to
be sampled. The sampling unit of our study is all age group.
Sampling Techniques- The sampling techniques used are convience technique and
simple random sampling technique.
Methods of Data Collection- Research work is exploratory in nature. Information has been
collected from both Primary and Secondary data.
Secondary Sources- Secondary data are those which have already been collected by
someone else which already had been passed through the statistical process. Secondary
data has been collected through magazines, websites, newspapers and journals.
Primary Sources- Primary data are those, which are collected are fresh and for the first
time and thus happen to be original in character. Primary data has been collected by
conducting surveys through questionnaire, which include both open- ended and close-
ended questions and personal and telephonic interview.
Weighted Average Score: This tool is used to calculate highest and lowest rank.
Percentage, Bar Graphs and Pie Charts: These tools were used for analysis of data.
The sample may not be a true representative, as due to location factor, the respondents
may not be representative of the whole universe.
As there is always a cost factor involved in every research, so it is not possible to include
large universe.

CHAPTER-7
CONCLUSION
AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY
Training is a systematic attempt which is practiced to develop human resources that is mainly
a main component in any organization. Main purpose of is to obliterate gap between employees,
potential employees and job requirements. Training is a short term process that utilizes
systematic and organized procedure by which employees learn technical knowledge and skills
that are required in the work environment of any organization. There are different methods of
training.
Research revealed that training is very effective in organizations and training and
development programs tend to bring positive changes in employees and these programs play
important role in increase in productivity of organization and also help in development of skill
setups of employees. So, it can be concluded that training is effective for both organization and
employees.
Major findings of study are that mostly both male and female are equally aware of the
training programs conducted in organization. Most of the respondents are in the view of skills as
