EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior.

It is the application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the

rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It attempts to improve

the performance on the current job or prepare them for an intended

job. Most organizations, whatever their size, invest time and money

developing their staff. Whether it is training them on how to use a new

piece of software, complete a form, give good customer service or

write a professional letter, training is an essential part of every

organizations management.

Evaluation is the process of finding out how a course or any other

training exercise has affected the organization. The three aspects that

can be evaluated are - participants’ reaction to the program, what the

trainees learned from the program and to what extent their on-the-job

behavior changed as a result of the program.

The objective of the study undertaken was to evaluate the current

feedback form used for external training for the employees of

Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd. and to provide the company with

a new feedback form. The feedback forms of sixty-three employees

were evaluated for the period December 2005 - April 2006.Scores were

allocated to this form and on the basis of these scores the

2

effectiveness of the training programmes were analyzed. Due to

certain disadvantages present in the current feedback form a new

feedback form was prepared. The new form prepared contains less

number of subjective questions, is quantified and can be easily

evaluated.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF TRAINING AND TRAINING EVALUATION

12

Page 13: Designing New Feedback Forms

MEANING OF TRAINING:

Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior.

It is the application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the

rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It attempts to improve

the performance on the current job or prepare them for an intended

job. Training is a short term process utilizing a systematic and

organized procedure for learning technical knowledge and skills for a

definite purpose. The training is a systematic program of the

organization that aims at increasing the attitudes, skills and abilities of

the workers to perform specific jobs. By training the employee will

acquire new manipulative skills, technical knowledge and problem

solving ability.

Objective of the training is to develop specific and useful knowledge,

skills and techniques. It is intended to prepare people to carry out pre-

determined tasks in well defined job context. Training is basically task

oriented activity aimed at improving performance in current or future

jobs. Training of any kind should have as its objective the redirection or

improvement of behavior so that the performance of training becomes

more useful and productive for himself and for the organization of

which he is a part. Training normally concentrates on the improvement

of either operative skills, interpersonal skills and decision making skills

or a combination of these.

NEED FOR TRAINING:

13

Page 14: Designing New Feedback Forms

To increase productivity –

Instruction can help employees increase their level of performance on

their present assignment. Increased human performance often directly

leads to increased operation productivity and increased company

profits.

Quality-

Better informed workers are less likely to make operational mistakes.

Quality increases maybe in relation to accompany a product or service

or in reference to the intangible organizational employment

atmosphere.

To help a company fulfill its future personal needs-

Organizations that have a good internal education program will have to

make less drastic manpower changes and adjustments in the event of

sudden personal alternations. When the need arises organizational

vacancies are more easily staffed from internal sources if a company

initiates and maintains an adequate instructional program for both its

non-supervisory and managerial employees.

Improve organization climate –

An endless chain of positive reactions results from a well planned

training program. Production and product quality may improve.

Financial incentives may then be increased.

To improve health and safety-

14

Page 15: Designing New Feedback Forms

Proper training can help prevent industrial accidents. A safer work

environment leads to more stable mental attitudes on the part of the

employees.

Prevent obsolescence-

Training program fosters and initiates the creativity of the employees

and helps to prevent manpower obsolescence which may be due to

age, temperament or motivation or the inability of a person to adapt

himself to technology.

IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING:

Training is the corner stone of sound management for it makes

employees more effective and productive. The importance of training

as a means of improving productivity is increasingly recognized.

Changing technology and patterns of work mean that training must be

a continuous process throughout a working life. Skills acquired for one

job may also be transferred, modified and supplemented for other jobs.

Training makes the employees more effective and productive.

Training is a practical and vital necessity because it enables employees

to develop and rise within the organization. It moulds the employees’

attitudes and helps them to achieve a better co-operation with the

company and a greater loyalty to it. The management is benefited in

the sense that high standards of quality are achieved, satisfactory

organizational structure is built up, authority can be delegated and

stimulus for progress applied to employees. Training, moreover

heightens the morale of the employees for it helps in reducing the

dissatisfaction, complaints, grievances and absenteeism, reduces the

rate of turnover.

15

Page 16: Designing New Feedback Forms

Further trained employees make a better and economical use of

materials and equipment therefore wastage and spoilage are lessened

and the need for constant supervision is reduced.

The values of training as pointed by Michael J. Jucius are:

1. Training serves to improve employee skill that in turn increases

the quantity and quality of output.

2. The relative amount of equipment and material required to

produce a unit of output is decreased.

3. Executive effort will tend to shift from the disagreeable need of

correcting mistakes to the more pleasant tasks of planning more

and encouraging expert employees.

4. The various increases in productivity should find reflection in

increased returns to both employer and employee.

As training is important in the same way conducting the training

systematically is also very important. Training needs should be

assessed first then training objective should be prepared, then training

program should be designed and implemented.

TRAINING PROVIDED TO THE EMPLOYEES OF RCF:

90% of the training is provided in-house and the remaining 10% is

outsourced.

EVALUATION OF TRAINING PROGRAM:

Evaluation is the process of finding out how a course or any other

training exercise has affected the organization. More and more

companies and organizations are interested in finding out the impact

of training on individuals within their organizations and on the bottom-

line.

The principles and techniques of evaluation if used correctly can help

the training department to demonstrate the value of training in any

organization in which it is established. Training is defined as the

assessment of the total value of a training system, training course or a

program in social as well as financial terms. Evaluation differs from

validation in that it attempts to measure the overall cost benefit of the

course or program and not just an achievement of its laid down

objectives. According to Hamblin evaluation of training is to mean any

attempt to obtain information on the effects of a training program, and

to assess the value of the training in the light of that information which

includes investigation before, during as well as after the training. It is

18

Page 19: Designing New Feedback Forms

impossible to assess the impact of training without knowing the

situation before training for comparison with situation after training.

However evaluation for the purpose of providing information for day to

day decision making is a formative evaluation and the evaluation that

determines the extent to which the mechanism is successful in

meeting its goal is a summative evaluation.

The choice of evaluation criteria depends on the objectives of the

training .Therefore post-training is intimately connected with the pre-

training investigation of training needs and establishment of training

objectives.

The evaluation data can be either quantified or

unquantified .Quantified data is data which can be measured,

systematic numerical. Unquantified data is data that is destructive,

unsystematic and verbal. Because of its narrowness and specificity

quantified data should never be taken at its face value but should be

interpreted in the light of unquantified data.

Overall purposes of Evaluation :

Evaluation helps to understand the following:

Strengths and weaknesses of a current training programme

The impact of training on individuals

The impact of training on the organization

Who should participate in further training programmes?

Who benefited the most and least from the training exercise?

The costs versus the benefits of training

Specifically the areas individuals should continue to focus on for

their own development.

19

Page 20: Designing New Feedback Forms

As per the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, it is necessary to

document a post training feedback from HODs / sectional heads

with regard to application/usefulness at the job.

TRAINING EVALUATION MODELS:

THE KIRKPATRICK MODEL:

The Kirkpatrick Model looks at four levels of evaluation, from the basic

reaction of the participants to the training to its organizational impact.

The intermediary levels examine what people learned from the training

and whether or not the learning affected their behavior on the job.

Level one concerns itself with the most immediate reaction of

participants and is easily measured by simple questionnaires after the

training event. Level two is concerned with measuring what people

understood and how they were able to

demonstrate their learning. It might be measured by paper and pencil

ability tests or job simulations. Level three looks at how people’s

behavior on the job in terms of their job performance changed. Level 4

results are more difficult to measure. It focuses on the organizational

rather than individual impact of the training.

Depending on the type of training and the availability of resources the

evaluation may focus on all levels or look at only a few levels.

Level 1: Reaction: How did the participants react to the program?

Level 2: Learning: What did individuals learn?

Level 3: Behavior: What are the long term effects of the training on

individual’s job performance?

Level 4: Result: How did the company or organization benefit from

the exercise? What was the organizational impact?

20

Page 21: Designing New Feedback Forms

HAMBLIN’S MODEL- 5LEVELS:

Level 1 Reaction: Carried out during, immediately after & sometime

after the event .The learner’s reaction to a range of factors are sought.

Level 2 Learning: Carried out before & after the event, an evaluation

of the developmental change that had taken place in knowledge, skills

& attitudes.

Level 3 Job behavior: Determination of any change in job

performance as a result of the event, carried out before and after the

event

Level 4 Functioning: A quantification of the effect of the event on

the learners department or organization preferably in terms of cost

benefit analysis

Level 5 Ultimate value: The extent to which the event has affected

the ultimate profitability and /or survival of the organization.

CIRO FRAMEWORK:

Ciro framework of evaluation asks three basic questions: What needs

to be changed, what is likely to bring about the desired changes, what

suggests that a change has actually taken place. This approach

developed by Warr, Burn and Rackham is called the CIRO framework

because the acronym refers to context, input, reaction and outcome

evaluation.

Context evaluation:

21

Page 22: Designing New Feedback Forms

It answers the question what needs to be changed. Here the trainer

looks at ultimate objectives, intermediate objectives and immediate

objectives.

Input evaluation:

It answers the question what is likely to bring about the desired

changes. Here the trainer must evaluate his resources and decide on

the best way to do so.

Reaction evaluation:

Here participant’s reaction to the training is obtained through

questionnaires, or informally over coffee breaks or during

conversations several weeks after the training.

Outcome evaluation:

There are 4 stages of outcome evaluation - defining training objectives,

selecting measurements for these objectives, measuring the objectives

at the appropriate time and assessing the results to improve the

training .The purpose of this stage is for trainers to improve their

product.

Present Method of evaluating training in RCF:

The company is very keen in developing its human resources. For this

purpose the company has got a separate department known as CMDC.

The centre was set up in 1978, since then it is giving utmost

importance for developing people through training.

22

Page 23: Designing New Feedback Forms

The training imparted in the company can be broadly classified into 5

types:-

Sr. no Type of training General content

1 Technical Technology related

2 Functional Marketing, finance, production,

projects, sales

3 Behavioral Creativity, problem solving etc

4 Computer Basics and advanced

5 General Productivity improvement ,

safety

CMDC has a well equipped computer training hall and two other

spacious rooms known as hall of learning and conference rooms with

conducive infrastructure. In the factory there is a multistoried building

with a lot of training amenities like library, reading hall, well equipped

training room and infrastructure related for training.

Only good facilities are not sufficient for imparting training .The most

important factor of imparting training effectively is trainer. The

company has got a galaxy of competent trainers .Some outside

trainers are invited for conducting training on particular topics.

This shows that a lot of investment on training is made by the

company. Just imparting training is not sufficient for development of

individuals and thus the organization. Proper evaluation of training

program should be done. The proper evaluation of training program

helps to know the effectiveness of training.

23

Page 24: Designing New Feedback Forms

For training aids in future the training is evaluated at 2 stages in the

company:

1. Training feedback: (immediate)

2. Post training feedback

TRAINING FEEDBACK: The feedback is usually expected in 2 forms of

data- Quantitative and qualitative.

The quantitative data gives a base of concrete analysis. This data is

usually gathered through questionnaires or rating scales at the end of

the program.

The qualitative data is obtained by having informal discussions with

participants in the tea breaks, lunch breaks, etc. If the participants give

any specific feedback or suggestions which are required for

improvement of training program, it is considered and if feasible they

ask the facilitator to implement it.

The qualitative data is obtained through syndicate discussions after

the training program .The discussion is generally held, wherein

participants are encouraged to speak on the program. Various

suggestions given here are noted. The HODs attend this discussion and

facilitators of training where any problems related to training can be

discussed.

Post training feedback: Post training feedback will be done by

interacting with HODs .The mater discussed will be about usefulness of

training and how this type of training benefits the company.
