Job Rotation

Internship Programs

Off-the-job training methods

Off-the-job training methods include Programmed learning Simulation method Laboratory training Case study Lecture method Role-playing Video-conferencing(Audio visual based training) Computer-Based Training

Programmed Learning

• Advantages– Reduced training time– Self-paced learning– Immediate feedback– Reduced risk of error for learner

Presenting questions, facts, or

problems to the learner

Allowing the person to respond

Providing feedback on the accuracy of answers

Simulation Method

• It is a technique that creates a situation which, as nearly as possible, replicates the real one.

Laboratory Training

• Its also called sensitivity training or T-group training.• Organized for a small group of trainees normally not

familiar with each other.• Trainees meet personally to share their feelings,

opinions, attitude, perceptions and values

OFF THE JOB TRAINING

• Class room training: It is to convey rules, policies, procedures. It is simple and efficient, have only minimum cost and time. The disadvantages are: One way communication, passive participation.

• Conferences, seminars , workshops: Discuss points of common interest for enriching knowledge and skill. This is a group activity.

• Group discussions/case study analysis: “ Case study is based on the belief that managerial competence can be best attained through the study, contemplation and discussion of concrete cases” (Bass). Experience is the best teacher is the principle used in this method.

• Vestibule Training: Employees are trained on the equipment they are employed, but the training is considered away from the work place. For training a machine shop operator necessary equipment required in an actual machine are duplicated.

• Simulation: Any training activity in which actual working environment is artificially created as near and realistic as possible.

Computer-Based Training (CBT)

• Trainee uses interactive computer systems to increase the knowledge & skills.

• Advantages

– Reduced learning time

– Cost-effectiveness

– Instructional consistency

• Types of CBT

– Interactive multimedia training

– Virtual reality training

Corporate Click

•  In 2007, India’s top five IT companies—TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Satyam, and HCL had recruited around 120,000 new employees, most of them coming straight from Indian universities. Training provided to them, described as “Freshers’ Training”, is a major part of corporate strategy, with CEOs and many senior employees often deeply involved. 

Evaluation study designs

• Time series design- In this, the process of evaluation starts even before the beginning of the actual training programme and it involves a series of measures before and after the training programme.

• Pre-Test–Post-Test control group design- In this method, the inter-period (before and after training) and the inter-group (between the experimental group and the control group not subjected to any training programme during the same period) comparisons of performance are done.

Evaluating Training: The TATA Business Support Services Model

• Adopts Jim Kirkpatrick’s frameworks.

• It evaluates training efficiency by analyzing trainee feedback, evaluating performance scores, productivity levels, scores, knowledge and skills.

Is theorganisation orunit better because of the training?

Are trainees behaving differently on the job after training? Are they using the skills and knowledge they learnt in training?

To what extent do trainees have greater knowledge or skill after the training programme than they did before?

Did the trainees like the programme, the trainers, the facilities? Do they think the course was useful? What improvement can they suggest?

industry in research programmes.

Conditions necessary for an effective training programme

• Top-management support.• A receptive mindset of trainees.• A continuous process.• Technological advances. • The form and timing of training.
