Training and Development in MTNL

Training & Development in MTNL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The study is the TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT IN MTNL.. It was
done as a part of summer training project work and was done to find out how the
efforts in Training and development undertaken by the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam
Limited are (MTNL) affecting effectively and efficiency of employees and hence
revenues.
The research project entitled Review on Techniques adopted by HR
Management to Improve the Effectiveness of Training and Development is an
attempt to understand the opinion and attitudes of employees of the various categories
at the Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd towards the maintenance of effectiveness of
Training services provided by the Company.
The global economy of the day has endangered the survival of every
organization and in particular those who want to have a competitive edge over the
others. In this age of communication there is a very stiff competition in the field of
telecom sector and it is getting more and more tough by the everyday passing as new
companies are introducing themselves everyday in the pool.The competitive edge
may be a distant dream in the absence of Superior Quality Products which otherwise
is the function of well-trained employees. Today resources are scarce and have to be
used carefully and trainers of all kinds are required to justify their position and
account for their activities. Training activities, which are ill directed and inadequately
focused, do not serve the purpose of the trainers. Hence identification of training
needs becomes the top priority of every progressive organization. Identification of
training needs, if done properly, provides the basis on which all other training
activities can be considered and will lead to multi-skilling, fitting people to take extra
responsibilities increasing all round competence and preparing people to take on
higher level responsibility in future.
Training and development is an important function of the HR department of
any organization. The training and development activities need to be critically
analyzed since they have an important role to play in employee productivity. This
research study attempts to do a critical analysis of one of the leading IT organization

in the country which has more than seventy thousand employees working all over the
country. The report highlights the current HR policies and training activities of the
organization. The current training programs have been studied at two different levels,
managerial and non managerial and evaluation of these training programs has been
done on different parameters. Further recommendations have been made based on the
findings of the study. Need for the customized training programs, employees do not
have time for training, managers are not acting as leaders were some of the major
findings of the study.
It also aims to know and study obstacles in the proper utilization and increase
the effectiveness of Training programs and try to suggest remedial measures wherever
possible.
The data was collected through well structured questionnaires. About 52
employees were considered for the sample size, since the researchers are given very
limited time. This survey was carried out in various departments of the Company.
In the course of study, it was found that the training programs analyzed were
provided to all the employees of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. and was not
specific to particular category of employees. The in depth study of the welfare
measures adopted by the company revealed that majority of the employees were fairly
satisfied with the training and development programs.

INTRODUCTION
Every organization needs to have experienced and well-trained employees to
perform the activities. Rapid changes in the environment have not only made the jobs
more complex but have also created increased pressures for the organizations to readopt the products and services offered to compete in this fast changing world.
Therefore, in a rapidly changing society training is an activity, which is must for
maintaining a viable and knowledgeable work force.
Success of any training program largely depends upon proper identification of
training needs. Training needs are felt by the managers when they discover/perceive
deviation between standard performance and actual performance of its employees. It
is not that only workers need training. Simultaneously supervisors, managers and
executives need to be trained and developed to grow and acquire maturity of thought
and action. Many organizations invest considerable resources in training and
development but never really examine how and where this can most effectively
promote organizational objectives and individual growth. The failure to analyze
training needs within the organization will lead to lesser of benefits and huge
investment in the training program of the institute. Hence it would be pertinent to
analyze training needs first and then impart training accordingly.
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited is one of Indias leading telecom
service provider and the only Public Sector Telecom operator in Delhi and Mumbai
circles. MTNL offers the most comprehensive bouquet of telecom services and is
market leader in basic telephony service. From time to time the company comes out
with various human resource management strategies- strategic as well as tactical- to
increase its employee morale and motivation. This in retrospect helps MTNL increase
its market share, increase its revenue, improve its brand image and gain competitive
edge over its competitor. But the company also needs to know if its effort are effective
or not and earning it the desired revenue. This project is therefore an effort in the
direction to find out the effectiveness of M.T.N.L.s training and development
sessions. The resultant survey, as a part of this project work, threw up many results
that were previously unknown to the company. Based on this survey certain
recommendations are also suggested for follow-up action.
For organizations like Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited, with a huge staff
base that is also quite diverse in their work-nature and skills, it is very important to
know if its employees are aptly engaged or not because a satisfied work-force is one
of the pre-requisite for improving output and efficiency.
The most important aspect of this survey is that such a kind of survey had
never been done at
Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited anytime before, so its
result will be an insight into the mind of the employee and a way to know their
aspirations and expectations, thereby, benefiting the employer in improving the workculture.
For organizations like Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (M.T.N.L.), to
know how much its human resource management effort is paying and what
improvements could be made into it, it is very important to meet the aspirations of its
customer and to maintain an edge of the competitors in the segment. The most
important aspect of this survey is that such a kind of survey will give an insight into
the various components of the human resource management and practices and a way
to know their aspirations and expectations, thereby, benefiting the organizations in
improving the revenue from its present level. This project focuses on identifying the
training and development adopted by MTNL to generate revenue for itself and also
provides recommendations on how to achieve a successful human resource
management strategy to improve revenue.

2.11 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

In the field of human resource management, training and development is the field
concerned with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of
individuals and groups in organizational settings. It has been known by several names,
including employee development, human resource development, and learning and
development.
Harrison observes that the name was endlessly debated by the Chartered Institute of
Personnel and Development during its review of professional standards in 1999/2000.
"Employee Development" was seen as too evocative of the master-slave relationship
between employer and employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners"
or "associates" to be comfortable with. "Human Resource Development" was rejected
by academics, who objected to the idea that people were "resources" an idea that
they felt to be demeaning to the individual. Eventually, the CIPD settled upon
"Learning and Development", although that was itself not free from problems,
"learning" being an over general and ambiguous name. Moreover, the field is still
widely known by the other names.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT refer to the imparting of specific skills,
abilities and knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training and
development is:
It is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an
employees ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employees
attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge.
The NEED for Training and Development is determined by the employees
performance deficiency, computed as follows:
Training and development need = Standard performance Actual performance.
We can say successful candidates placed on the jobs need training to perform their
duties effectively. Workers must be trained to operate machines, reduce scrap and
avoid accidents. It is not only the workers who need training. Supervisors, managers
and executives also need to be developed in order to enable them to grow and acquire
maturity of thought and action. Thus, training and development constitute an ongoing
process in any organization.
Training and development encompasses three main activities: training, education, and
development. Garavan, Costine, and Heraty, of the Irish Institute of Training and
Development, note that these ideas are often considered to be synonymous. However,
to practitioners, they encompass three separate, although interrelated, activities:
2.11.1 TRAINING
The term training refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies as a
result of the teaching of vocational or practical skills and knowledge that relate to
specific useful competencies. This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated
against, the job that an individual currently holds.
2.11.2 EDUCATION
Education in its broadest sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on
the mind, character, or physical ability of an individual and in its technical sense
education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated
knowledge, values, and skills from one generation to another through institutions.
2.11.3 DEVELOPMENT
This focuses upon the activities that the organization employing the individual, or that
the individual is part of, may partake in the future, and is almost impossible to
evaluate. Development is less skill- oriented but stresses on knowledge.
2.12 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of training and development division is to make sure the
availability of a skilled and willing workforce to an organization. In addition to that,
there are four other objectives: Individual, Organizational, Functional, and Societal.
2.12.1 INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES

It helps employees in achieving their personal goals, which in turn, enhances the
individual contribution to an organization.
2.12.2 ORGANIZATIONAL OBJECTIVES

It assists the organization with its primary objective by bringing individual
effectiveness.
2.12.3 FUNCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

It maintains the departments contribution at a level suitable to the organizations
needs.
2.12.4 SOCIETAL OBJECTIVES

It ensures that an organization is ethically and socially responsible to the needs and
challenges of the society.
2.13 IMPORTANCE OF OBJECTIVE SETTING

Training objective is one of the most important parts of training program. While some
people think of training objective as a waste of valuable time. The counterargument
here is that resources are always limited and the training objectives actually lead the
design of training. It provides the clear guidelines and develops the training program
in less time because objectives focus specifically on needs. It helps in adhering to a
plan. Training objectives tell the trainee that what is expected out of him at the end of
the training program. Training objectives are of great significance from a number of
stakeholder perspectives, the "stakeholders" in training and development are
categorized into several classes.
1. Trainer
2. Trainee
3. Designer
4. Evaluator
2.13.1 TRAINER
The training objective is beneficial to trainer because it helps the trainer to measure
the progress of trainees and make the required adjustments. Also, trainer comes in a
position to establish a relationship between objectives and particular segments of
training.
2.13.2 TRAINEE
The training objective is beneficial to the trainee because
1) It helps in reducing the anxiety of the trainee up to some extent. Not knowing
anything or going to a place which is unknown creates anxiety that can negatively
affect learning. Therefore, it is important to keep the participants aware of the
happenings, rather than keeping it surprise.
2) It helps in increasing concentration, which is the crucial factor to make the
training successful. The objectives create an image of the training program in
trainees mind that actually helps in gaining attention.
3) If the goal is set to be challenging and motivating, then the likelihood of achieving
those goals is much higher than the situation in which no goal is set.
Therefore, training objectives helps in increasing the probability that the
participants will be successful in training.
2.13.3 DESIGNER
The training objective is beneficial to the training designer also because if the
designer is aware what is to be achieved in the end then they will bring the training
package according to that. The training designer would then look for the training
methods, training equipments, and training content accordingly to achieve those
objectives.
Furthermore, planning always helps in dealing effectively in an unexpected situation.
Consider an example; the objective of one training program is to deal effectively with
customers to increase the sales. Since the objective is known, the designer will design
a training program that will include ways to improve the interpersonal skills, such as
verbal and non verbal language, dealing in unexpected situation i.e. when there is a
defect in a product or when a customer is angry.
Therefore, without any guidance, the training may not be designed appropriately.
2.13.4 EVALUATOR
It becomes easy for the training evaluator to measure the progress of the trainees
because the objectives define the expected performance of trainees. Training objective
is an important to tool to judge the performance of participants.
2.14 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT AS SOURCE OF

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Training and Development is important because of following reasons:
1) Optimum Utilization of Human Resources
Training & Development helps in optimizing the utilization of human resource that
further helps the employee to achieve the organizational goals as well as their
individual goals.
2) Development of Human Resources
Training & Development helps to provide an opportunity and broad structure for the
development of human resources technical and behavioral skills in an organization. It
also helps the employees in attaining personal growth.
3) Development of skills of employees
Training & Development helps in increasing the job knowledge and skills of
employees at each level. It helps to expand the horizons of human intellect and an
overall personality of the employees.
4) Productivity
Training & Development helps in increasing the productivity of the employees that
helps the organization further to achieve its long-term goal.
5) Team spirit
Training & Development helps in inculcating the sense of team work, team spirit, and
inter-team collaborations. It helps in inculcating the zeal to learn within the
employees.
6) Organization Culture
Training & Development helps to develop and improve the organizational health
culture and effectiveness. It helps in creating the learning culture within the
organization.
7) Organization Climate
Training & Development helps building the positive perception and feeling about the
organization. The employees get these feelings from leaders, subordinates, and peers.
8) Quality
Training & Development helps in improving upon the quality of work and work-life.
9) Healthy work-environment
Training & Development helps in creating the healthy working environment. It helps
to build good employee, relationship so that individual goals aligns with
organizational goal.
10) Health and Safety
Training & Development helps in improving the health and safety of the organization
thus preventing obsolescence.
11) Morale
Training & Development helps in improving the morale of the work force.
12) Image
Training & Development helps in creating a better corporate image.
13) Profitability
Training & Development leads to improved profitability and more positive attitudes
towards profit orientation.
14) Organizational Development

Training & Development aids in organizational development i.e. Organization gets more
effective in decision making and problem solving. It helps in understanding and carrying
out organisational policies.
Thus, it can be concluded that Training & Development helps in developing

leadership skills, motivation, loyalty, better attitudes, and other aspects that successful
workers and managers usually display.
2.15 TRAINING NEEDS ASSESSMENT

A training needs assessment, or training needs analysis, is the systematic
method of determining if a training need exists and if it does, what training is required
to fill the gap between the standard and the actual performance of the employee.
Therefore, training needs assessment is:
1) Systematic method of determining performance discrepancies
2) Causes of performance discrepancies
Training needs assessment (TNA) is usually related to organizational and
individual performance.
2.15.1 REASONS TO CONDUCT TRAINING NEEDS

ASSESSMENT
1) Purpose of the training needs assessment is to ensure that there is a need for
training.
2) To identify the nature of what a training programme should contain.
3) It provides the information needed for developing a training plan that is based on
the learning needs of the participants.
4) It acts as a benchmark for evaluation of training.
5) It makes sure that training is provided to the right people.
6) It increases the relevance of the training and the commitment of the learners, as
they are involved in the preparation of the training design that reflects their
expressed needs.
7) Thus, it helps to foster a rapport between the facilitators and the participants. The
facilitators can acquire basic knowledge of the strengths and limitations of the
participants and the learners can become partners in analyzing their own learning
needs.
2.16 LEVELS OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT

There are three levels of needs assessment: Organizational Analysis, Task Analysis
and Individual Analysis.
2.16.1ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS
Organizational analysis looks at the effectiveness of the organization and determines
where training is needed and under what conditions it will be conducted. The
organizational analysis should identify:
1) Organizational goals, mission & strategies.
2) Environmental impacts (new laws etc.).
3) State of the economy and the impact on operating costs.
4) Changing work force demographics and the need to address cultural or language
barriers.
5) Changing technology and automation.
6) Increasing global/world market places.
7) Resources available (money, facilities; materials on hand and current, available
expertise within the organization).
8) Climate and support for training (top management support, employee willingness
to participate, and responsibility for outcomes).
2.16.2 TASK ANALYSIS

Task analysis provides data about a job or a group of jobs and the knowledge, skills,
attitudes and abilities needed to achieve optimum performance. There are a variety of
sources for collecting data for a task analysis:
JOB DESCRIPTION A narrative statement of the major activities involved in
performing the job and the conditions under which these activities are performed.
KSA ANALYSIS A more detailed list of specified tasks for each job including
Knowledge, Skills, Attitudes and Abilities required of incumbents.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Objectives of the tasks of the job and the

standards by which they will be judged. This is needed to identify performance
discrepancies.
2.16.3 INDIVIDUAL ANALYSIS

Individual analysis analyzes how well the individual employee is doing the job and
determines which employees need training and what kind. Sources of information
available for an individual analysis include:
1) Performance evaluation Identifies weaknesses and areas of improvement.
2) Performance problems Productivity, absenteeism or tardiness, accidents,
grievances, waste, product quality, down time, repairs, equipment utilization,
customer complaints.
3) Observation Observe both behavior and the results of the behavior.
4) Work samples Observe products generated.
5) Interviews Talk to manager, supervisor and employee. Ask employee about what
he/she believes he/she needs to learn.
6) Questionnaires Written form of the interview, tests, must measure job-related
qualities such as job knowledge and skills.
7) Attitude surveys Measures morale, motivation, satisfaction.
8) Checklists or training progress charts Up-to-date listing of current skills
2.17 TRAINING DESIGN
The design of the training program can be undertaken only when a clear training
objective has been produced. Training objectives assist trainers to design the training
program.
2.17.1 THE TRAINER

Before starting a training program, a trainer must analyzes his/ her technical,
interpersonal, judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.
ROLE OF TRAINER
The effective transfer of training depends a lot on the trainer because it is the trainer
only who can remove the mental block of trainee, motivate the trainee to learn, delete
the negative perception of the trainee regarding the training. Besides all that, a lot
depends on personality of trainer also.
The major competencies that are required to be present in a trainer are:
1) Presentation Skills
2) Business Skills i.e. budgeting, time management, negotiation, etc.
3) Content Development i.e. material production, graphics, layouts, etc.
4) Self development i.e. interpersonal skills, good listening skills, flexible, accepting
the share of accountability, etc.
2.17.2 THE TRAINEES A good training design requires close scrutiny of the
trainees and their profiles. Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are
some of the important factors that affect training design.
2.17.3 TRAINING CLIMATE A good training climate comprises of

ambience, tone, feelings, positive perception for training program, etc. Therefore,
when the climate is favorable nothing goes wrong but when the climate is
unfavorable, almost everything goes wrong.
2.17.4 TRAINEES LEARNING STYLE The learning style, age,

experience, educational background of trainees must be kept in mind in order to get
the right pitch to the design of the program.
2.17.5 TRAINING STRATEGIES Once the training objective has been

identified, the trainer translates it into specific training areas and modules. The trainer
prepares the priority list of about what must be included, what could be included.
2.17.6 TRAINING TOPICS After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon

the content to be delivered. Trainers break the content into headings, topics, ad
modules. These topics and modules are then classified into information, knowledge,
skills, and attitudes.
2.17.7 SEQUENCE THE CONTENTS Contents are then sequenced in a

following manner:
1) From simple to complex
2) From known to unknown
3) From specific to general
4) Dependent relationship
5) Topics are arranged in terms of their relative importance
6) 2.17.8 TRAINING TACTICS Once the objectives and the strategy of the
training program becomes clear, trainer comes in the position to select most
appropriate tactics or methods or techniques. The method selection depends on the
following factors:
1) Trainees background
2) Time allocated
3) Style preference of trainer
4) Level of competence of trainer
5) Availability of facilities and resources, etc
6) 2.18 METHODS AND TECHNIQUES OF TRAINING

7) A multitude of methods of training are used to train employees. Training
techniques represent the medium of imparting skills and knowledge to employees.
Training methods are categorized into two groups:
1) On-the-job methods
2) Off-the-job methods
3) 2.18.1 ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

4) On the job training occurs when workers pick up skills whilst working along side
experienced workers at their place of work. New workers may simply shadow
or observe fellow employees to begin with and are often given instruction manuals
or interactive training programmes to work through. Eg:
1) Orientation Training
2) Job-Instruction Training
3) Apprentice Training
4) Internships
5) Job Rotation
6) Coaching
7) 2.18.2 OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING

8) This occurs when workers are taken away from their place of work to be trained.
This may take place at training agency or Local College, although many larger
firms also have their own training centers. Training can take the form of lectures
or self-study and can be used to develop more general skills and knowledge that
can be used in a variety of situations.
1) Vestibule
2) Lecture
3) Special Study
4) Conference
5) Simulation
6) Programmed Instruction
7) Training techniques are the means employed in the training methods. They
represent the medium of imparting skills and knowledge to the employees.
8) Important techniques of training are:

1) LECTURES
9) Lecture is a verbal presentation of information by an instructor to a large
audience. The lecturer is presumed to possess a considerable depth of knowledge
of the subject at hand. A virtue of this method is that is can be used for very large
groups and hence the cost per trainee is low.
10) Lectures are used because of their low cost and their capacity to reach many
people. Lectures, which use one-way communication as opposed to interactive
learning techniques, are much criticized as a training device.
2) AUDIO-VISUALS
11) Audio-visuals include television slides, overheads, and films. These can be used to
provide a wide range of realistic examples of job conditions and situations in the
condensed period of time. Further the quality of the presentation can be controlled
and will remain equal for all training groups.
3) PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION (PI)

12) These devices systematically present information to the learner and elicit a
response; they use reinforcement principles to promote appropriate responses.
Information is provided to the trainee in blocks, either in a book form of through a
teaching machine. After reading each block of material, the learner must answer a
question about it. Feedback in the form of correct answers is provided after each
response.
4) COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI)
13) With CAI, students can learn at their own pace, as with PI. Because the student
interacts with the computer, it is believed by many to be a more dynamic learning
device. Educational alternatives can be quickly selected to suit the student's
capabilities, and performance can be monitored continuously. As instruction
proceeds, data are gathered for monitoring and improving performance.
5) SIMULATIONS
14) Training simulations replicate the essential characteristics of the real world that
are necessary to produce both learning and the transfer of new knowledge and
skills to application settings. Both machine and other forms of simulators exist.
Machine simulators represent the real world's operational equipment. The main
purpose of simulation, however, is to produce psychological fidelity, that is, to
reproduce in the training those processes that will be required on the job.
Simulation is done for a number of reasons, including: to control the training
environment, for safety, to introduce feedback and other learning principles, and
to reduce cost.
15) The more widely held simulation exercises are:
a) CASE STUDY
16) A case is a written account seeking to describe an actual situation. A good case is
the vehicle by which a chunk of realty is brought into the class room to be
discussed over by the class and the instructor. Discussion on a case requires a
capable instructor, who can evoke and guide intelligent discussion analysis, so that
meaningful learning experiences occur. There is no "right" answer or simple
explanation in the comprehensive case. The advantages of this method are more
depth of thinking, more perception in a situation, greater respect for and
consideration for the opinion of others.
b) ROLE PLAYING
17) In this method, the instructor assigns parts taken from case materials to group
members. The situation is usually one involving conflict between people. The role
players attempt to act the parts as they would behave in a real life situation,
working without a script or memorized lines and improvising as they play the
parts. The development of empathy and sensitivity is one of the primary
objectives of role playing.
c) VESTIBULE TRAINING
18) It utilises equipment which closely resemble the actual ones used on the job,
however training takes place away from the work environment. A special area is
set which is equipped with furnishings similar to those found in the actual
production area. The trainee is then permitted to learn under simulated conditions,
without disrupting ongoing operations. A primary advantage of vestibule training
is that it relieves the employee from the pressure of having to produce while
learning.
6) LABORATORY TRAINING/ SENSITIVITY TRAINING/ T

GROUP TRAINING
19) This type of training is designed to increase the managers understanding of
himself and of his own impact on others. The training takes the form of a group
discussion, and through a leader trained in the technique is present, the group may
decide on the subject of discussion or suggest changes in procedure. In the course
of discussion, conflict, hostility, stress and frustration may be purposely generated
for they later on become motivations for growth as well as food for learning. The
laboratory training aims at achieving behavioral, effectiveness in transactions with
ones environment.
7) INTERNSHIP TRAINING
20) This method of training is generally provided to the skilled and technical
personnel. The object of this type of training is to bring about a balance between
theoretical and practical knowledge, under this method, students from a technical
institution possessing only theoretical knowledge are sent to some business
enterprise to gain practical work experience.
8) INDUCTION TRAINING
21) Induction training is important as it enables a new recruit to become productive as
quickly as possible. It can avoid costly mistakes by recruits not knowing the
procedures or techniques of their new jobs. The length of induction training will
vary from job to job and will depend on the complexity of the job, the size of the
business and the level or position of the job within the business. The following
areas may be included in induction training:
a) Learning about the duties of the job
b) Meeting new colleagues
c) Seeing the layout the premises
d) Learning the values and aims of the business
e) Learning about the internal workings and policies of the business
9) BUSINESS GAMES
22) They are the direct progeny of war games that have been used to train officers in
combat techniques for hundreds of years. Almost all early business games were
designed to teach basic business skills, but more recent games also include
interpersonal skills. Monopoly might be considered the quintessential business
game for young capitalists. It is probably the first place youngsters learned the
words mortgage, taxes, etc.
23)
24) 2.19 TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS

25)
26) The process of examining a training program is called training effectiveness.
Training effectiveness checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training
effectiveness ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning
in their respective workplaces, or to the regular work routines.
27)
ITS SIGNIFICANCE
28) In India, training as an activity has been going on as a distinct field with its own
roles, structures and budgets, but it is still young. This field is, however;
expanding fast but controversies seem to envelop any attempts to find benefits
commensurate with the escalating costs of training. Training has made remarkable
contributions to the improvement of all kinds. Training is essential; but doubts
arise over its contribution in practice. Complaints are growing over its
ineffectiveness and waste. The training apparatus and costs have multiplied but
Unhappiness persists and is growing at the working level where the benefits of
training should show up most clearly. This disillusionment shows in many ways reluctance to send the most talented workforce for training, inadequate use of
personnel after training, etc.
29) With disillusionment mounting in the midst of expansion, training has entered a
dangerous phase in its development. Training is neither a panacea for all ills nor is
it a waste of time. What is required is an insight into what training can or cannot
do, and skill in designing and executing training successfully and cost-effectively.
Many training programs today fail to deliver the expected organizational benefits
just because of not having a well-structured measuring system in place that can
help in determining where the problem lies.
30) But organizations don't always evaluate the business impact of a training program.
On a positive note, being able to demonstrate a real and significant benefit to the
organization from the training provided can help in gaining more resources from
important decision-makers.
31) Given the large expenditures for training in many organizations, it is important to
develop business intelligence tools that will help companies improve the
measurement of training effectiveness. These tools need to provide a methodology
to measure, evaluate, and continuously improve training, as well as the
organizational and technical infrastructure (systems) to implement the
methodology.
32) Measuring the effectiveness of training programs, however, consumes valuable
time and resources time and resources that are already in short supply. One
needs to think carefully about how and to what extent they will evaluate the
results of training.
33) Donald Kirkpatricks four-level evaluation model remains as the most well-known
and used model today. Kirkpatrick developed his model in the late 1950s and the
model has since been adapted and modified by a number of writers. However, the
models basic structure has well stood the test of time. The basic structure of
Kirkpatricks four-level model is shown below:
34) One of the most popular methodologies for measuring training effectiveness was
developed by Donald Kirkpatrick (Professor Emeritus, University Of Wisconsin)
first published his ideas in 1959, in a series of articles in the US Training and
Development Journal. His book Evaluating Training Programs (1975) defined his
originally published ideas of 1959.

111)
Since Kirkpatrick established his original model, other theorists (for example
Jack Phillips), and indeed Kirkpatrick himself, have referred to a possible fifth
level, namely ROI (RETURN ON INVESTMENT).
112)
ROI can easily be included in Kirkpatrick's original fourth level 'Results'. The
inclusion and relevance of a fifth level is therefore arguably only relevant if the
assessment of Return On Investment might otherwise be ignored or forgotten
when referring simply to the 'Results' level.
113)
Finally, it is possible for organisations to measure effectiveness for all
programmes at level-1 and level-2. This can be built into the design of the training
programme. Also it is easy to measure training programmes related to technical
and functional areas at level-3 and level-4. But it is not easy to do this with
behavioral skills programmes. Organisations that choose to measure training
effectiveness can start with the former category before moving to measuring
behavioural skills at level-3 and level-4.
114)
There are mechanisms to measure effectiveness of behavioural skills at level-
3. These are cumbersome to implement. It needs a fair amount of investment by

the organisation in terms of time and money. While measuring effectiveness of
training measure all programmes at level-1 and level-2. The measures at level3 and level-4 can start with the functional skills, before moving on to the
behavioural skills programmes.
115) 2.21 TRAINING PROCESS IN MTNL

116)
MTNL has been conducting various Training & Development activities, which
apart from minimizing the skill gap and technical obsolescence, are also focussing
towards attaining the bigger organizational purpose of building a competent work
force to take the challenge in the currently existing Telecom sector.
Training programmes, seminars and workshops had been conducted from
time to time to enhance the knowledge and skills of executives and staff so
as
to improve
their
efficiency
and
strengthen
their
role
in
overall
development of the organization.

117)
MTNL provides two types of training:
1. Foreign Training
2. Inland Training
118) 2.21.1 FOREIGN TRAINING:

All the matters of foreign training are handled by HR
Dept (Trg Dept).
In this type of training they generally provide technical
training.
Foreign
training
is
mostly
given
to
Middle level
management & Top level management.

Foreign training is very vital for Operations Dept due to
the continuous change in corporate world & latest technology. There is

whole setup
( required for proper technical training of Operations
Dept. ) in the foreign training centres of MTNL.

119)
2.21.2 PROCEDURE FOR FOREIGN TRAINING :

Request for training is generated by a particular dept (Delhi & Mumbai
120)
units).
Then, this request comes to executive directors. If
the training is
technical in nature, it will go to Dir(Tech). This
Dir(Tech) analyses
whether the candidates shortlisted for foreign
training are eligible or the training which is to be given is relevant.

After performing all the formalities, it is approved by
Dir(Tech). Then it goes to Dir(HR). At last it comes to CMD for final

approval.
Before
MTNL seeks his/her
sending
any
person
for
foreign
training
Vigilance Clearance within seven days. And all
this work (Vigilance Clearance
Disciplinary Proceeedings ) is done by
CMD. DGM & GMs vigilance Clearance is given by DOT.

There are certain formalities which has to be done
by MTNL including
121)
Execution of training bond (as per rule), it is not fixed.
Now, after executing all the formalities, the person is sent for training
There MTNL has to find its new partners in foreign
countries which may provide it roaming at favourable rates.

Under ministry of Communication & IT ( GOVT. OF
INDIA), there are two Dept. DOT & DIT, they sometimes give request
to send their persons for this sort of trg, but the overall expenditure is
to be done by MTNL.
There are two joint ventures of MTNL :
1.
United Telecommunications Ltd (UTL)
2.
MTNLSTPI IT Services Ltd ( Software Tech. Park of India).
122) 2.21.3 INLAND TRAINING:

CORPORATE OFFICE :
The main functions of corporate office is planning , monitoring and
controlling the functioning of both the Delhi and Mumbai unit.
133)
CETTM passes its proposal to DIR(HR) corporate. It is doing a great
job . It has tie-ups with ORACLE , CCNA , GSM which are having a
great repo and position in the corporate world .
Functioning of Corporate Office :
1. Sending nominations of all candidates to CVO for vigilance
clearance .
2. It is supposed to receive the report from both the Delhi and
Mumbai unit whether they have received their training targets.
3. Corporate office organizes training only for officers grade .
4. RTTC and CETTM at Delhi and Mumbai respectively may also
invite trainers to impart training .
5. ED - keeps an eye on legal issues , services like GSM and other

issues .
134) 2.21.4 PROCEDURE:

MTNL has divided all the work into various zones. It has appointed eight
GMs for eight different zones like GM ( Central ), GM ( Nehru Place ), GM
135)
( North ), GM ( Janakpuri ), GM ( East ), GM ( BCP ), GM (Rajouri
Garden ), GM ( Transyamuna ) so that all the functioning may be done in

proper manner.
But there arises a problem while initiating a training session. When a
training session is to be started, Corporate Office asks GM ( Broadband )
to commence the process. But Broadband says that it is the business of
GM
( Special Service ), it should be done by SS. Also, Broadband
doesnt possess the skilled staff & necessary equipments required to impart
training. Thats why it becomes very difficult to arrive at any solution.
MTNL has their own selling outlets named SANCHAR HAAT. All these
Sanchaar Haats perform their functions under the supervision of DE
( Divisional Engineer ) of the relative region.
Training is generally provided by GM ( SS ) and GM ( Broadband ).

Sales
should
be
continuous activity but due to lack of infrastructure, it is not working

properly. GM ( Admin ) is the main controlling authority.
Then, the next step is concerned with finance department. As they have to
prepare the budget
which is the function of finance dept. Budget
preparation is carried out on the basis of previous years budget.
Generally, the expenditure which incurs on the foreign training of one

person is around 2 to 2.5 lakh ( in case of executive officers ). The
expenditure varies according to the management levels.
RTTC organizes inhouse training. Inspite of technical training it also gives

non-technical
training
which
includes
behavioural
development
skills,
leadership development skills, attitude, communication skills.
Corporate Office get various proposals of training on daily basis. Many

schools of management send varied kind of proposals.
Department of public enterprises settles the basic pay after 2 nd pay

commission. Dept. of public enterprises brought an incentive scheme due to
which the pay becomes variable rather than basic one. This proposal was
rejected because the work of HR cant be quantified.
Whenever new technique is introduced in the market, MTNL starts

imparting training to its staff before adopting that new technology so that
the employees may be able to utilize the latest technology in order to
achieve their personal as well as organizational objectives.
Training Calender is prepared for the whole year on monthly basis.

183)
3. NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF

THE STUDY
184) It
is needed to fill the gap between employees present specifications and
the job requirements and organizational needs by developing and molding

the employees skill , knowledge , attitude , behavior , etc. This problem can
only be sorted out through proper and specific training of employees . The
organization requires to train the employees to enrich them in the areas of
changing technical skills and knowledge in terms of mechanization and
computerization from time to time . The organization has to equip the old
employees with the
advanced disciplines, techniques or technology, this
purpose is solved through training and development of personnels.

185)
The gap between actual and expected performance, behavior and attitude
leads to emergence of training. But the main purpose of training is to

attain that level of performance, behavior and attitude in employees,
which
leads to fulfillment of the objectives of any organization.

186)
Any
succession
management
planning
development,
initiative
which
is
becomes
scientific
ineffective
training
without
process
for
managers and executives to enrich their knowledge and skills, so as to

make them competent to manage their organizations effectively. Unlike
general purpose training, management development programmes aim at
developing conceptual and human skills of managers and executives through
organized and systematic procedures. These programmes offer an opportunity
to hone the skills of the practicing managers so that they can face the
emerging challenges of the industry with confidence and push their
organization for achieving higher growth. Thus, by pursuing the relevant
management development programmes, one can also climb the career ladder
faster. In this study, I am going to review the process of training and
development in MTNL and evaluate the effectiveness & relevance of
training and development procedures by the companys own feedback forms

filled by the employees of MTNL.
187)
4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
188)
189)
190) 4.1 SCOPE OF STUDY:191)
4.1.1 Geographic Scope
192)
I have done my project analysis in the corporate office of MTNL , and I
choose Executive employees over there.

193)
4.1.2 Employees selected 52 executive employees.
194) 4.2 FINAL STUDY :

195)
4.2.1 Research Design Used:

1. Firstly I explore the topic Training and Development in which I define
the problem more precisely and then describe each and every aspect of it.
2. Then I define the information needed through the medium of various
books and internet.
3. In my research I use Comparative as well as Non Comparative Scaling. In
Comparative Scaling I use Nominal scale. In Non Comparative Scaling, I
use Likerts and Semantic Differential Scale.
4. I have prepared my Questionnaire based on the Effectiveness of Training
Sessions in MTNL , which is comprised of thirteen questions.
5. I have used non-probability sampling technique i.e. convenience as well as
quota and put one restriction that my Questionnaire will be filled by the
employees of corporate office of
MTNL situated at Delhi only and
accordingly I will make judgements out of it.

6. Finally, I develop a plan of data analysis.
196)
4.2.2 Questionnaire for the Study:
197)
Now the next step is to develop the questionnaire and deciding on what all
elements will be included in it.
A questionnaire consists of a number of
questions printed or typed in a definite order on a form. Essentials of a good

questionnaire are as follows:
The size of questionnaire should be kept to the minimum.
Questions should proceed in logical sequence moving from easy to more

difficult questions.
Each question must directly relate to, and be measured against, the survey
objective.
Questions may be dichotomous (yes or no answers), multiple choice

(alternative answers listed) or open - minded.
There should be some control questions in the questionnaire which indicate

the reliability of the respondent.
It must also include questions that will provide relevant and actionable
information to the organization.
198)
Developing the Questionnaire for MTNL, Delhi:
199)
The Questionnaire prepared for measuring the effectiveness aspect of
Training contained questions that were then evaluated on Bar Diagram , Pie
Chart and some questions by the help of SPSS Software.
200)
In questions first, second, third, fifth, ninth, eleventh and twelfth I used
Nominal Scale. And in questions fourth, sixth and tenth I used Semantic
Differential Scale. In questions seventh and eighth I used Likerts Scale.
201)
4.2.3 Sampling for the Study:
202)
The sample has been selected through SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING
METHOD, where every employee had an equal probability of being

selected. This sample was selected to get an unbiased view from each of
the employee being selected. If a particular group would have been selected
then most of them would had the same opinion or ones viewpoint could
have influenced others viewpoint as well.
203)
The employees
from Marketing Department, HR Department, Finance
Department and Appraisal Department had been selected for the study .
Hence, a point was made to remove every kind of biasness in the study.
204)
The SAMPLE SIZE choosen for the study was 52 employees of MTNL.
Though it was a small sample size but was found to be sufficient to get
the relevant information.
205)
4.2.4 Data Collection for the Study :
206)
The data for the study was collected through STRUCTURED
207)
QUESTIONNAIRE which was distributed in different departments and
the respondents were given enough time to mark their responses. This was
the Primary Source for Data Collection.
208)
Other material required to complete the project was taken from the
companys Business Plan and its Annual Reports. Apart from this, the data
was also collected from the internet, journals, magazines and books. This
was the Secondary Source for Data Collection.

5. FINDINGS
626)
Through the survey, I got to know that employees want more Practical
knowledge than theoretical one. MTNL emphasizes more on theory than
practicals.
Some candidates have gone several times for training while some
employees Hasnt been sent even once. They send those whom they
think, are responsible to perform their Obligations.
When MTNL organizes Hindi Seminars, it sends those people who are
not responsible enough or who do the work just for the sake of their
job, so as to keep the record that these people have also been sent on
training.
Technical training is vital for all the JAOs & JTOs but the organization
usually doesnt send all of them for training. It sees its convenience, it
doesnt send those whom it think that they have the capability to handle
all the work in absence of other ones who are being sent to training
There is always a problem between GM ( Broadband ) & GM ( Special
Service ) that who will initiate the training process.
Budget of training is very big. It becomes very difficult to organize all
the transactions.
Sometimes, When training dept decides to send some officers training to
Mumbai, who are working in Delhi & they are not willing to go. They
ask the management why they are being sent to other unit. It becomes
difficult for management to answer all of them.

6. CONCLUSIONS AND
MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS
630) 6.1 CONCLUSIONS
631)
Organizations run on long term basis also termed as eternal basis adapting
with changing conditions. Hence, they need human resources both in present
and in future.
Every organization needs to have well adjusted, trained and experienced
people to perform the activities that must be done. As jobs in todays
dynamic organizations become more complex, the importance of employee
education has increased. Rapid jobs changes are occurring, requiring employee
skills to be transformed and frequently updated. This takes place through
what we call Employee Training Development.
Moreover, to motivate the employees, we need to create a bonding of
needs. We need them to perform their jobs and they need us to give them
a reason (i.e., pleasures) to perform their jobs well. When this is done for
their sake. In organizations,
motivation on the part of workers is essential
for maximizing productivity. Work is always more enjoyable when it

develops the individuals overall personality. If a man is not allowed to
broaden his horizons, he can only become obsolete.
Investing time and money in Training employees not only enables them to
gain knowledge and confidence, but also sends a signal that the
management is committed to the development of employees.
Thus, this report makes a presumptuous attempt to knead all aspects of
Training & Development at MTNL. It gives a well knitted and balanced
coverage of theory, company information and detailed analysis of the Survey
conducted of the Trainees.
The T & D policy, The Training Plan, The Training Programs conducted,
The Methods of Evaluation Used, Evaluation of the Training Feedback
forms, Summary of the results, Motivational Analysis of the Trainees are
some of the topics that have been dealt with in the project report.
Apart from that, the report also provides Suggestions that can be adopted
by the management at MTNL to develop Training Programs in such a manner
that they not only provide KSAs to the employees but also motivate them
to perform better and improve their performance.
In all, the Report provides a refreshing insight into all that a reader
wants to know about Training & Development.
632) 6.2 MANAGERIAL IMPLICATIONS
633)
634)
Management should take interest in the training programmes for the
T & D and HRD.
Each & every or officer should be sent for training once in six
months for upgradation of departmental work.
The circulars of training programs must reach the interested officers
at least one month in advance.
The officers/officials must be trained as per their routine office
work.
635)
Or each and every employee should be trained in the
work which is assigned to him/her so that he/she may be able to

perform an excellent duty.
MTNL should emphasise on practical training rather than only
theory. Most of the trainings should be practical-based.
Training should not be given only for the sake of it. It must have
an objective.
Technical training should be provided to all the officers whether they
keep themselves updated or not.

7. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

649)
650)
651)
652)
With respect to the
study and findings regarding the process and relevance as well as

effectiveness of Training and Development in MTNL, we came to know
that our study and conclusion might not be perfect as the whole procedure
suffers from certain limitations which are mentioned below :
Sample size was small as compared to the total strength of employees
in the organization.
The whole process was time consuming.
100% Response Rate was not found from the respondents.
Lack of interest of the respondents was also one of the problems.
Some of the employees hadnt attend any training session, so that was
a problem. .
The level of knowledge of each respondent was different. So, the
responses given by the respondents could vary a lot depending on the
perception of each respondent for a given question.
As the survey was conducted in only one of the MTNLs branches ,
the suggestions provided by the staff members may not be similar to
those staff members in other branches.
