INTRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC

There were also some views that training is a very costly affair and not worth.
Organizations used to believe more in executive pinching. But now the scenario seems to
be changing.
The modern approach of training and development is that Indian Organizations have
realized the importance of corporate training. Training is now considered as more of
retention tool than a cost. The training system in Indian Industry has been changed to
create a smarter workforce and yield the best results.
For an organization, training and development are very important for sound
organizational growth, because the organizational growth and profit also depend on
training of the employees working in the organization. Training is the function of the
organizational development, since employees are not aware of suitable methods of
working no machine, material and money can add to the production and profits.
Training and Development is the framework for helping employees to develop their
personal and organizational skills, knowledge, and abilities. The focus of all aspects of
Human Resource Development is on developing the most superior workforce so that the
organization and individual employee can accomplish their work goals in service to
customers.
Trainings in an organization can be mainly of two types; Internal and External training
sessions. Internal training is when the training is organized in-house by the human
resources department or training department using either a senior staff or any talented
staff in the particular department as a resource person.
On the other hand external training is normally arranged outside the firm and is mostly
organized by training institutes or consultants. Whichever is the kind of training, it is very
important for all staff and helps in building career positioning and preparing staff for
greater challenges in developing world. How ever the training is costly but is effective.
Raw human resources can make only limited contribution to the organization to achieve
its goals and objectives. Hence the demands for the developed employees are
continuously increasing. Thus the training is a kind of investment.

TRAINING AT ITC HARIDWAR
Training and development go hand in hand and are often used synonymously but there is
a difference between them. Training is the process of learning a sequence of
programmed behavior. It is an application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of
the rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It intends to improve their performance
on the current job and prepares them for an intended job.
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. It helps
individual in the progress towards maturity and actualization of potential capabilities so
that they can become not only good employees but better human beings.
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING

person to person. Training must be geared to the intelligence and aptitude of
individual trainee.
OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING
8
NEED FOR TRAINING
To impart to the new entrants the basic knowledge and skills they need for
definite tasks.
To build a line of
To prevent obsolescence.
TYPES OF TRAINING
Job training: It refers to the training provided with a view to increase the knowledge
and skills of an employee for performance on the job. Employees may be taught the
correct methods of handling equipment and machines used in a job. Such training
helps to reduce accidents, waste and inefficiency in the performance of the job.
9
Safety training: Training provided to minimize accidents and damage to machinery
is known as safety training. It involves instruction in the use of safety devices and in
safety consciousness.
METHODS OF TRAINING
METHODS OF
TRAINING
10
Job Rotation: It is also referred to as cross straining. It involves placing an
employee on different jobs for periods of time ranging from a few hours to several
weeks. At lower job levels, it normally consumes a short period, such as few hours or
one or two days. At higher job levels, it may consume much larger periods because
staff trainees may be learning complex functions and responsibilities.
Job rotation for managers usually involves temporary assignments that may range
from several months to one or more years in various departments, plants and offices.
Job rotation for trainees involves several short-term assignments, that touch a variety
of skills and gives the trainees a greater understanding of how various work areas
function.For middle and upper level management, it serves a slightly different
function. At this stage, it involves lateral promotions, which last for one or more
years. It involves a move to different work environment so that manager may develop
competence in general management decision-making skills.
Committee assignments:
11
Here in, a group of trainees are given and asked to solve an actual organizational
problem. The trainees solve the problem jointly. This develops team work and
group cohesiveness feelings amongst the trainees.
Lecture method: The lecture is a traditional and direct method of instruction. The
instruction organizes the material and gives it to the group of trainees in the form of a
talk. To be effective, the lecture must motivate and create interest among the trainees. An
advantage of this method is that it is direct and can be used for a large group of trainees.
12
Conference or discussion: It is a method in training the clerical, professional and
supervisory personnel. It involves a group of people who pose ideas, examine and share
facts and data, test assumptions and draw conclusions, all of which contribute to the
improvement of job performance. It has an advantage that it involves two-way
communication and hence feedback is provided. The participants feel free to speak in
small groups. Success depends upon the leadership qualities of the person who leads the
group
Programmed instruction: This method has become popular in recent years. The
subject matter to be learned is presented in a series of carefully planned sequential
units. These units are arranged from simple to mere complex levels of
instructions. The trainee goes through these units by answering questions or
filling the blanks. This method is expensive and time consuming.
13
EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Executives are the people who shape the policies, make the decisions and see their
implementation in any business organization. They are the president, the vice-president,
the managing director, works manager, plant superintendent, controller, treasurer, office
managers, engineers, directors of functions such as purchasing, research, personnel, legal,
marketing etc.
Executive development may be stated as the application of planned efforts for raising
the performance standards of high level managers, and for improving the attitudes and
activities that enter into or influence their work and their work relations.
Following are the steps, which are involved in the development process of executives:
OBJECTIVES: The first and foremost step is to define the long- term
objectives of training and development of executives.
LONG- RANGE PLANS: Here the management prepares long-term training and
development plans for their executives, which include the annual training targets,
the annual budgets and the specific area of training.
14
EVALUATION: In this step, the effectiveness of the executive training
programme is evaluated by measuring the improved performance of executives
who underwent the programme, on their job. There are various criteria of
measuring effectiveness such as validity, reliability etc.
- No Measurement
- Subjective Measures
- Qualitative Measures
- Objective Measures
The first group, in which no real measurement occurs, includes activities undertaken as
an “Act of Faith”, where no form of measurement is attempted, such as initiatives to
improve communications in organization, which seem to make people feel good and
appear to have worked in some intangible manner.
15
They are typified by questionnaires asking delegates to “put a value on” the likely
benefits of a training programme.
Objective measures are the only really meaningful ones. However, they challenge the
provider of training to demonstrate how their training activities feed through to the
“bottom line”: in terms of return on investment and return on the capital employed.
There has often been an assumption, in times past, that training somehow “justifies
itself”, because it is all about developing people. However, it is incumbent on
organizations to look critically at the ways in which they evaluate their training activities,
lest they fall prey to the subject approach and are badly caught out when a rigorous
analysis of all the functions of the organization’s business is called for. A desirable, if not
essential, characteristic of all training programmes is a built-in provision for evaluation.
The four main dimensions of evaluation are:
16
In job-related training, the objective is to train people for specific job skills so that their
productivity may increase. Evaluation can be done either to the direct criterion of
increase in output or to the indirect criteria of decrease in cost, breakage or rejects. Even
more indirect are measures that point out changes in absenteeism or turnover.
The most difficult problems of evaluation lie in the area of human relations skill training,
which is given to the supervisors and middle- level managers. Supervisory and
managerial training programmes are, for this reason, less amenable to objective review
procedures. Much subjectivity enters into evaluations of these programmes, since exact
standards and criteria are hard to devise.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPANY PROFILE
ITC limited is one of the top three private sector companies in India. It is a market leader
in India in Cigarettes & Tobacco, hotels, packaging, specialty papers and paperboards. It
has also entered into the life style retailing business with the lunch of the “wills sports”

wholly owned subsidiary to more aggressively pursue emerging opportunities.
Each of these businesses is vastly different from the others in its type, the state of its
Evolution and the basic nature of its activity, all of which influence the choice of the
form of Governance. The challenge of governance for ITC therefore lies in fashioning
a model that Addresses the uniqueness of each of its businesses and yet strengthens
the unity of purpose of the Company as a whole.
Since the commencement of the liberalization process, India's economic scenario has
begun to alter radically. Globalization will not only significantly heighten business
risks, but will Also compel Indian companies to adopt international norms of
transparency and good Governance. Equally, in the resultant competitive context,
freedom of executive management and its ability to respond to the dynamics of a fast
changing business environment will be the new success factors. ITC's governance
policy recognizes the challenge of this new business reality in India.

History
ITC was incorporated on August 24, 1910 under the name of 'Imperial Tobacco
Company of India Limited'. Its beginnings were humble. A leased office on Radha Bazar
Lane, Kolkata, was the centre of the Company's existence. The Company celebrated its
28
16th birthday on August 24, 1926, by purchasing the plot of land situated at 37,
Chowringhee, (now renamed J.L. Nehru Road) Kolkata, for the sum of Rs 310,000. This
decision of the Company was historic in more ways than one. It was to mark the
beginning of a long and eventful journey into India's future. The Company's headquarter
building, 'Virginia House', which came up on that plot of land two years later, would go
on to become one of Kolkata's most venerated landmarks. The Company's ownership
progressively indianised, and the name of the Company was changed to I.T.C. Limited in
1974. In recognition of the Company's multi-business portfolio encompassing a wide
range of businesses - Cigarettes & Tobacco, Hotels, Information Technology, Packaging,
Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Agri-Exports, Foods, Lifestyle Retailing and Greeting
Gifting & Stationery - the full stops in the Company's name were removed effective
September 18, 2001. The Company now stands rechristened ‘ITC Limited’.
ITC is one of India's foremost private sector companies with a market capitalization of
nearly 19505 cr. and a turnover of over is 12369 cr. ITC also ranks among India's top 10
`Most Valuable (Company) Brands', in a study conducted by Brand Finance and
published by the Economic Times. ITC was the first company in India to voluntarily seek
a corporate governance rating. ITC is rated among the World's Best Big Companies,
Asia's 'Fab 50' and the World's Most Reputable Companies by Forbes magazine, among
India's Most Respected Companies by Business World and among India's Most Valuable
Companies by Business Today.
ITC has a diversified presence in Cigarettes, Hotels, Paperboards & Specialty Papers,
Packaging, Agri-Business, Packaged Foods & Confectionery, Information Technology,
Branded Apparel, Personal Care, Greeting Cards, Safety Matches and other FMCG
products. While ITC is an outstanding market leader in its traditional businesses of
Cigarettes, Hotels, Paperboards, Packaging and Agri-Exports, it is rapidly gaining market
share even in its nascent businesses of Packaged Foods & Confectionery, Branded
Apparel and Greeting Cards.
29
ITC's wholly owned Information Technology subsidiary, ITC Infotech India Limited, is
aggressively pursuing emerging opportunities in providing end-to-end IT solutions,
including e-enabled services and business process outsourcing.
ITC's production facilities and hotels have won numerous national and international
awards for quality, productivity, safety and environment management systems. ITC was
the first company in India to voluntarily seek a corporate governance rating.
ITC employs over 21,000 people at more than 60 locations across India. The Company
continuously endeavors to enhance its wealth generating capabilities in a globalizing
environment to consistently reward more than 3,97,000 shareholders, fulfill the
aspirations of its stakeholders and meet societal expectations. This over-arching vision of
the company is expressively captured in its corporate positioning statement:
ITC Leadership
Flowing from the concept and principles of Corporate Governance adopted by the
Company, leadership within ITC is exercised at three levels. The Board of Directors at
the apex, as trustee of shareholders, carries the responsibility for strategic supervision of
the Company. The strategic management of the Company rests with the Corporate
Management Committee comprising the whole time Directors and members drawn from
senior management. The executive management of each business division is vested with
the Divisional Management Committee (DMC), headed by the Chief Executive. Each
DMC is responsible for and totally focused on the management of its assigned business.
This three-tiered interlinked leadership process creates a wholesome balance between the
need for focus and executive freedom, and the need for supervision and control.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Kevin Gordan, 2008 All organizations have to be concerned with the issue of making
sure that the best and most effective people are employed by them. this research
examines the cost of making a “bad” recruitment decisions and the impact it has on the
organizations. During the course of the project, the author looked at areas such
Recruitment, learning development and also data taken from employees who were
leaving the organizations, who had completed exit questionnaires. This was done in the
order to get a clearer understanding of the reasons why people leave organizations and
also, to ascertain whether or not the organization could have done anything to prevent
them going.
AidahNassazi, 2013 Employees are major assets of any organization. The active role
they play towards a company’s success cannot be underestimated. As a result, equipping
these unique assets through effective training becomes imperative in order to maximize
the job performance. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of training
on employee performance, using the telecommunication industry in Uganda as case
study.
Samuel Asante-Yeboah, 2012 The necessity for improved work performance has been
acknowledged globally and the fact that this depends on efficient and effective training
and development programmes cannot be downplayed. Training is a learning process that
involves the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to successfully
perform a job.
32
Recruitment and selection training and development, 2016 This report focuses on
Sainsbury’s human resources strategies regarding its recruitment and selection, training
and development, diversity and performance management. The purpose of this report is
to focus on issues involved in the HRM (human resources management), both from the
existing theory as well as practice.
Dr. Amir Elnaga, 2013 Employee is a blood stream of any business. The
accomplishment or disaster of the firm depends on its employees performance. Hence,
top management realized the importance of investing in training and development for the
sake of improving employees performance. This conceptual paper aimed at studying the
effect of training on employee performance and to provide suggestion as to how firm can
improve its employee performance through effective training programs.
Eunice Jane Amadi, 2014 In the field of HRM, training and development is the field
concerned with organizational activity aimed at improving the performance of individuals
and groups in an organizational setting. It has been known by several names, including
employee development, human resource development, and learning and development.
This study aimed at examining the effect of training and development on employee
performance with a case study of safaricom call center.
Kibibi Hassan, 2011 Staff training and development has been identified by various
scholars to be very crucial to an organization. Organizations are therefore encouraged to
train and develop their staff in order to enhance their performance.
Githinji Angela, 2014 The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of training on
employee performance among international cilil servants. The study was guided by the
following research questions; what is the role of training on employee engagement? What
is the role of training on employee engagement? What is the role of the training of
employees job satisfaction?
33
Globalization, financing infrastructure development and many other factors have helped
the growth of banking industry. Customer transaction data is increasing continuously
increasing the need for banks to invest in big data technology. Banks are re-orienting
their thinking by harnessing information technology for financial inclusion which will
help increase the profitability of the banks and also protect the banks market share. The
main challenge of the banking industry is scarcity of skilled manpower to meet the
growing needs of the economy. (Ramachandran, 2015)
In a journal “Information Technology in Banking Sector”, R. Tiwari, R. Kumar (2012)
emphasized the shift from “conventional banking to convenience banking” by examining
various relevant issues relating to the role of Information Technology (IT) in banking.
The study highlighted a few challenges, some of which were the impediments in the path
like the obduracy once shown by trade unions who felt that IT could turn out to be a
threat to secure employment. The enhanced technological adoption can reduce the
number of routine workers at the bottom levels and increase the number of knowledge
workers. In a study by Dr. K. R. Hedge and Mr. A. Kumar (2013) in a research entitled
“Training in Indian Banking with special reference to Public Sector” the researchers
compared the old competencies with the emerging new competencies and the comparison
showed that an entirely new skill structure is emerging as a result of technological
advancement.
Dr. K. R. Hedge and Mr. A. Kumar (2013) in a research entitled “Training in Indian
Banking with special reference to Public Sector” highlighted the significance of training
and development in the banking sector by comparing training and development activities
in banks like an oxygen to human beings. They further stated that up gradation of skills
through proper training and re-training is essential for keeping the entire workforce in
perfect readiness to take up the challenging environment unfolding every day. They
defined training as a continuous process by which the employees are honed and their
skills fine-tuned hence training policies should ensure that all employees without
exception are given adequate inputs and training. The study concluded at a note that there
is an urgent need of reforms in training i.e. factors like training need, training resources,
perceived training, training and development objectives, latest training trends are to be
identified by the management in accordance with organizational goal and employee need.
34
Muhammad Imran and AimanTanveer (2015) conducted a study on “Impact of Training
& Development on Employees’ Performance in Banks of Pakistan”. The study was
carried out taking into consideration the significance of both Training & Development
and Employee Performance for the businesses at all levels and in all sectors. Three
objectives were designed for the study; assessment of current practices, impact check,
and proposition for better investment into T & D. Data collection was done taking sample
size of 150 employees and analysis was done through the application of frequency tests &
bar charts on the response rates in SPSS which gave the study a quantitative and
empirical direction for results. Major findings were that most of the employees agreed to
the item statements by making it clear that T & D had a positive impact on their Job
knowledge, work quality & quantity, functional skills, and their motivation & loyalty and
these are all linked to their performance either strongly or moderately but in a
supporting direction.
However, due to convenience sampling that was used, the results could not be
generalized with authenticity to all the banks. Nevertheless, on the basis of literature and
analysis it can be established that there is a strong relationship between T & D and
employee performance.
Training and development activities have assumed high importance in recent years
because of their contributions to the achievement of organizational objectives (Sanu,
2005). The business case for training and development should demonstrate how training
and development programmes will meet business needs. Kearns and Miller (1997) go as
far as to claim that: “If a business objective cannot be cited as a basis for designing
training and development, then no training and development should be offered.”
Armstrong (2006) lists the following benefits for companies investing in training and
development programs:
improve individual, team and corporate performance in terms of output, quality,
speed and overall productivity;
attract high-quality employees by offering them training and development
opportunities, increasing their levels of competence and enhancing their skills,
thus enabling them to obtain more job satisfaction, to gain higher rewards and to
progress within the organization;
35
provide additional non-financial rewards (growth and career opportunities) as
part of a total reward policy
improve operational flexibility by extending the range of skills possessed by
employees (multiskilling);
increase the commitment of employees by encouraging them to identify with the
mission and objectives of the organization;
help to manage change by increasing understanding of the reasons for change and
providing people with the knowledge and skills they need to adjust to new
situations;
provide line managers with the skills required to manage and develop their
people;
help to develop a positive culture in the organization: one, for example, which is
oriented towards performance improvement;
provide higher levels of service to customers;
Minimize learning costs (reduce the length of learning curves).
In the light of these benefits, there have been several studies on the effects/impact of
training and development on employee performance and organizational performance.
AidahNassazi (2013) in a report on “Effects of Training on Employee Performance.
Evidence from Uganda” evaluated the effects of training on employee performance, using
the telecommunication industry in Uganda as case study. A qualitative research approach
of the data collection was adopted using a questionnaire. Based on the sample the
results obtained indicated that training has a clear effect on the performance of
employees.
Joseph Kennedy (2009) conducted a research on “The Impact of Training and
Development on Job Performance (A Case Study of the Judicial Service of Ghana)”. To
achieve the functions of the Judicial Service of Ghana, part of its budgetary allocation is
earmarked solely for training. Notwithstanding the huge investment in training by the
Judicial Service of Ghana, the service is confronted with a lot of challenges in achieving
its vision and mission statements. These challenges include delays in the processing of
court cases and the need to constantly upgrade the skills of judicial staff, judges and
magistrates to cope with new trends in efficient justice delivery.
36
The study sought to evaluate the impact of the huge investment made in training on job
performance of judicial staff. The researcher used both primary and secondary sources of
data for conducting the research.
The research findings revealed that the training conducted by the Judicial Service of
Ghana for its employees was very negligible. The research further recommended that the
frequency of Training provided by the Judicial Service of Ghana should be improved to
ensure that more employees have access to Training and Development. It went further
stating that Training and Development offered by the Judicial Service of Ghana should
ensure a better understanding of the Mission and Vision statement of the Judicial Service
of Ghana so that, employees can identify themselves with the organizational values in the
discharge of the duties.
Between December, 2016 and March, 2017, NBS bank laid off 300 employees due to a
culmination of bad debts which disturbed the company’s books leaving it no choice but to
downsize staff. In a research “Human Resource Interventions and Training in Downsized
Organizations to Assist Remaining Employees” Davis, G. (2006) sought to determine if
human resource interventions and training programs for management employees have an
effect on employee morale, employee productivity and operating profit in the
organization. The study also investigated what human resource interventions were used
and what training programs were offered to management employees in downsized
organizations to help make the transition for the remaining employees and how effective
these interventions and programs were. Data from 130 respondents was collected and an
analysis of variance was completed and revealed that there was not a significant
difference in employee morale, employee productivity and operating profits between the
organizations that used or did not use human resource interventions and offered and did
not offer training to management. After conducting a bivariate correlation analysis on
each of the independent variables however, it showed that there was a significant
relationship between specific human resource interventions and training programs and
employee morale, employee productivity and operating profits.
NBS Bank has unveiled a multimillion kwacha project to improve the skills of its human
resource to turn things around economically. The move is part of the bank’s strategy to
return to profitability. NBS Bank CEO KwaneleNgwenya said “We have to invest in
37
skills development so we don’t make losses as has been the case in the previous years.
We have singled out various programmes that are aimed at boosting the financial status
of the bank.” He indicated that the bank has vibrant staff that need more investments to
improve their banking skills. (Mhango, 2017)
