EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

[2]

A survey was systematically developed to assess issues related to management training and education, and it was sent to 1,000 randomly selected Indian companies with at least 1,000 employees. Based on a 61% response rate, findings were obtained regarding issues such as needs assessment, management training and development approaches, reasons for selecting particular programs, characteristics of participants, how decisions are made regarding who will participate, preparation and follow-up of participants, evaluation of management training programs, future management training trends, and needed training content. Significant findings by company size and industry type also are reported.

Millions of grant dollars and thousands of collaboration-building hours can go down the drain if training and workforce preparation services lead to skills that rapidly changing industries no longer need or will not need in the future. Rapid changes and uncertainty create a greater need to gather information beyond regularly scheduled labor market data gathering activities. Innovations in labor market intelligence must include flexibility in responding to rapidly changing market dynamics. Labor market information researchers have to expand their abilities to gather information rapidly and frequently. Promising practices include having a culture of continuous learning, tapping networks, and using online tools.

Relevance, timing, affordability, and quality of training were all factors to consider in determining the usefulness of a training mode. The readiness of a worker was also a factor in whether training could work or not. Employers clearly valued OJT the most, but its affordability could be a barrier. Online training was considered the least useful, but its timing was a valuable asset. Other training modes from university degree programs to manufacturer sponsored training were useful, each with unique drawbacks.

INTRODUCTION

Most people can, if they put their mind to it, perform a training needs analysis on staff within their organization in order to identify learning needs. All it requires is a clear understanding of what is to be achieved, some knowledge of the organization itself, and a consistent, methodical approach.

There are two general forms of analysis of training needs. One is a general, high level approach that usually takes place during annual reviews or appraisals. The second is a more detailed

[3]

analysis that tends to be linked to specific projects, such as the implementation of a new computer system.

Analyzing training need often forms part of an ongoing cycle of needs assessment, training delivery, and evaluation of the training, which leads back to needs assessment.The internet is a valuable resource is for material about training needs analysis. These resources are extremely useful, but examples and templates found online are unlikely to be an ideal fit for any organization. They will need to be tailored to meet specific local requirements.

Understanding the Objectives of Training Needs Analysis

Before any form of training need analysis takes place it is essential to establish its objectives. Is it being conducted as part of an annual review or appraisal process, to help a manager determine which courses to send his or her staff on?

Alternatively, the training analysis forms part of a specific project, such as the implementation of a new computer system. The analysis is more detailed, involves multiple steps, and is more objective. The outcome is information about the skills gaps of a particular group of people, which is then used to develop a customized training program that fills those gaps.

Data Collection Methods for Training Needs Analysis

There are several different ways in which to collect the information required. A detailed approach will utilize multiple methods in order to form the clearest picture of learning needs. This will take longer, but if conducted properly will deliver more meaningful results and should lead to the development of a highly relevant and targeted training program.

The analysis methods include:

Interviewing managers to learn what they want their staff to know.

Interviewing staff to discover where they think their skills gaps lie.

Interviewing other relevant parties, such as implementation consultants if the training is

linked to a new system implementation.

Questionnaires for learners to self-assess their knowledge.

Studying documentation that defines the objectives of project or the function of a team.

Observing staff at work to see how they actually operate.

Having learners perform tests in order to benchmark knowledge prior to training.

Processing the Results of Analysis

Once the data has been collected it is important that it is correctly assessed. This involves reviewing the data to identify trends and themes.

[4]

The level of detail will depend on the number of learners being assessed. The outcome of the assessment should be a list of subjects in which training is required, and a list of the groups, or individuals, who need that training. This information can then be used to develop a training plan.

Unexpected Outcomes of AnalysisIt is possible that the process of analyzing learning needs leads to the identification of other issues. It could reveal that there is poor communication within or between departments or teams, or even that there is a breakdown of relationships. When one climbs out of the well, only then, can the true vastness and magnitude of heaven be comprehended. Ageless as this proverb may be, it is also an appropriate description of the current commoditization challenge within the localization industry.

India is a vast country and plurality is its hallmark. Considering its linguistic, ethnic, social, cultural and geographical diversities, localization should have been the salient feature of the IT sector here. However, for a very long time, the major market for the Indian IT industry was clients based in developed countries. Even the boom in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector in recent years has produced localization of a different kind. The employees of the call centers located in India learn how to adapt to the ambience of foreign countries; they learn about the nuances of American accents, French slang and Australian names.

Research on training needs is important, especially in the hospitality industry, which is known for its traditional approach in terms of human resource management. The following report aims to develop an understanding of the current situation concerning hospitality graduates’ as well as hospitality managers’ skills and competencies and career development. A comparative analysis was then completed to compare the findings in order to identify issues or gaps.

Firstly, group participants recognized that higher and general skills have to be added to the crafted curriculum, as employees need to be more responsive to the changing environments. In essence, a balance needs to be found between practice and theory. The second main concern emerging from the research is that the industry is not very attractive to the new generation of graduates, who favors a better work/life balance than that offered by the hospitality industry. For these reasons, the industry should also focus on developing a more attractive image in terms of role, wages and career development.

With the world-wide expansion of companies and changing technologies, Indian Organizations have realized the importance of corporate training. Training is considered as more of retention tool than a cost. Today, human resource is now a source of competitive advantage for all organizations. Therefore, the training system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce and yield the best results. With increase in competition, every company wants to optimize the utilization of its resources to yield the maximum possible results. Training is required in every field be it Sales, Marketing, Human Resource, Relationship building, Logistics, Production, Engineering, etc. It is now a business effective tool and is linked with the business outcome. With increase in awareness of corporate training in Indian Industry, a gradual shift from general to specific approach has been realized.

According to NASSCOM (National Association of Software and Services Companies), the

[5]

IT corporate training market is expected to reach Rs 600 crore in 2010 from Rs 210 Crore in 2006.

       

In Indian market, 50% of the training company’s revenue comes from the retail training and rest from other segments.

On the other hand, in many organizations training is regarded as non-essential or a need based activity. Some organizations start a training department in order to look modern. In fact, some organizations are headed by unwanted employees rather than employees of outstanding merit. While some organizations do not have a separate budget to hire highly qualified trainers for training and development.The community services sector is disparate, diverse, and located in every small and large regional center. It is a significant industry employing 10% of the total workforce including a large non-government sector. However existing knowledge about this workforce is limited. This research brings together workforce training needs across community services sectors in INDIAN INDSUTRY to provide a clear picture of learning, training, or skill development requirements outside the metropolitan areas. As stated by the Prime Minister in the ‘Skills for the Future’ address, Oct 2006: The range of skills needed by the economy is constantly changing and difficult to predict due to the wide range of factors that can act to change it over time. In these circumstances sound research findings are vital to efficiently resource new skills training as well as continuous upgrading of skills for existing workers.

Thanks to sound business strategies employed by us and a competent work force we started tasting mega successes in the early stages of our industrial operations themselves. The Company became a Public Ltd. Company entity in 1993. This prompted us to diversify into paper manufacturing and we set up a paper plant in 1997. The successes we achieved with a vengeance in all our subsequent moves helped us overshadow our rivals and attain an enviable position in corporate world in a relatively short span.

The commissioning of two Captive co-generation Power Units with combined capacity of 18 MW which marked a turn around in Company's fortunes saw an upswing in the production activities by ensuring constant supply of power.

As you are aware the promoters of the Company are vastly experienced in the production and marketing of various agro-based products like Soya de-oiled cake, Refined Edible Oil and paper products like Duplex, News Print & Printing Paper and Printing Paper, Cream Wove, Map Litho Paper, Copier, etc. The entire credit of the robust financial health of the Company undoubtedly goes to their far-sightedness, prudent fiscal management, proficiency in handling industrial operations on a massive scale and a host of other attributes which are a pre-requisite for the success of any business.

COMPANY PROFILE

[11]

In 1987, Mr. Ramakant Malu, an ambitious person from a small town, Jaysingpur (Kolhapur

District), started a small manufacturing activity of PVC Solvent Cement. After continuation of

this activity for many years, he was followed by Mr. Omprakash Malu and they started Malsons

Organics Ltd in the year 1996. Initially, Malsons was engaged into manufacturing of plastic

crates with only 1 injection molding Machine at Kupwad (Sangli District). These crates were

sold to Institutions and Dairies in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh

on credit basis in order to seek a place in the market.

They started focusing on the market conditions and necessities of the consumers. It was at this

stage, that company invented a plastic product called as Construction Ghamela (Basin) in 1999.

This product remains a landmark in the success history of Samruddhi group.

After running Malsons Organics for 5 years, Mr. Ramakant Malu, Mr. Omprakash Malu, & Mr.

Pramod Malu started Samruddhi Industries ltd in the year 2001.

The year 2001 proved to be landmark in the history of Samruddhi group. Though this year was a

difficult year for India, Samruddhi was eying a dawn of success. The Agricultural sector had

been stagnant from the last few years, resulting in the slowdown of rural demands. Industrial

sector had also shown a lowering index for Industrial production. Consumer was spending down

due to the lack of confidence in Economy and general feeling of Instability.

It was a challenging year for the company. To anticipate the slowdown, Samruddhi Invented a

New marketing policy of Rural Level Marketing. To supplement the policy, company designed

some new designs in Ghamelas, Buckets, Kettles, and Crates. Samruddhi increased its range of

products and kept its step in market with an antagonistic and aggressive way. Samruddhi’s

marketing team started live demonstrations at local crowded places. Samruddhi’s unbreakable

products started gaining acclamation in the market and people gradually generated their faith in

the quality and durability of these products. Thus we are reckoned to be one of the prominent

Manufacturers, Exporters, and Suppliers of the industry.

Samruddhi replaced conventional media of materials like wood and metal as products like Metal

Ghamelas were disposable due to rust and it was also not suggestive for cattle feed. Samruddhi

had now developed the plastic products that were three time durable to the traditional ones. Ours

were even Food Grade Products which were hygienically very safe. These products started

[12]

creating histories in the customer segments. People started demanding Samruddhi Products at

every counter.

Samruddhi developed a very good network of satisfied customers throughout India. Some of the names are Amul India - Anand, Ashoka Builders, Nasik, Chitale Dairy - Bhilawadi, Gokul Doodh - Kolhapur, Godrej Constructions – Pune, and the list goes on.

FINDINGS

Findings from the survey and regional forums were collated by region then sorted into three main groups: 1. Direct client work job roles 2. Skills sets 3. Professionals.

[36]

Though the focus of this research was to identify skills shortages in the vocational training sector, responses to skills shortages included job roles with higher education requirements and they have been included here. Quality service provision in community services relies on the integration and interaction of workers with both vocational and professional knowledge and skills. The articulation between vocational training and higher education is mutual as workers identify skill sets needed outside their primary qualification. For example, a social worker with higher education qualification may seek vocational skills in alcohol and other drugs work or a Certificate IV disability worker may study a subject of behavioral psychology.

Job roles in community services sectors are characterized by an extensive range of skills required for quality service provision. Appropriate training is crucial to providing and maintaining services to clients, who in some way, are vulnerable and at risk. The identification of skills shortages is a start to determining training needs but falls short of the need to up skill existing staff and provide ongoing professional development. In this research, participants provided details of training needed now to improve the skills of existing workers and ensure safe and consistent client services.

The following chart summarizes the extensive list of training identified in the survey and forums. The training needs identified fall broadly into three skills areas:

Management Administration Direct client work.

It is important to remember that the skills areas are not necessarily related to job roles as services vary greatly in the number of staff employed, the diversity of service provision and how the workload is allocated. For example, in a service with 1 or 2 workers, they may all provide direct client services but share management and administration tasks. Even in larger organizations, job roles may require a mix of management, administration and client work.

CONCLUSION

How do companies determine skill and training demand?

[37]

The first and obvious an Indian Industries is articulated demand. Articulated demand can be measured by:

• The type and number of open positions; • The training needs required to implement new technologies or production processes; • The responses required to meet governmental regulations (e.g., OSHA) or

customer demands; and/or • The activities undertaken to compensate for skill deficiencies (e.g., basic skills

training).

These circumstances determine how firms invest in training to ensure that employees can do their jobs and ultimately add to the company’s bottom line by increasing the overall competences and capabilities of the workforce. The survey is the instrument we used to articulate the current demand for training and education in the Indian industry. Our review of that survey suggested a number of areas of demand. To reiterate, the conclusions are only suggestive—given the small size of the sample.

First, combining the information we have on in-house training used, contracted training used, and noted skill deficiencies, broad commonalities do emerge in the following areas:

o Management o Leadership o Communication o Business Skills o Computer Skills

It seems a market does exist in these areas, and these skills are important to maintain the competitiveness of aerospace companies and their labor force. The categories are broad, and some additional research would be needed to develop more targeted courses. Moreover, the courses would have to be more in depth than those already provided in house by many companies.

Second, reviewing the evidence with a careful eye, some questions do emerge—and a Indian Industries to those questions have important training implications. We must be very careful with

Third, the evidence also suggests the need for a focus on internships. The overall recruiting problems noted lack of work experience, poor job-seeking skills, and insufficient preparation of undergraduates as measurable challenges. Internships are one way to improve the overall quality of the emergent workforce force. Moreover, 25 percent of the sample indicated an interest in offering undergraduate internship positions. There may be an opportunity embedded here. While it is one thing to offer an internship, it is another thing to know how to manage it and provide a quality experience to the intern and a value-added proposition to the sponsoring firm.

Fourth, a good proportion of training offered could be considered reactive (in response to a specific customer request or new technology) while another proportion is strategically neutral (e.g., safety, which is more a part of doing one’s job, rather than increasing the overall competitiveness of the company). Only a few firms considered training as an integral part of strategic long-term planning for the future.

Where there are benefits of the training outsourcing, there are many outsourcing challenges as well no matter how well the program is planned, staffed or budgeted. Below are few challenges that are faced by organizations while training outsourcing:

Many stakeholders – Outsourcing by and large involve several inner and outer stakeholders. Outsourcing programs in diverse geographic regions most of the times are managed autonomously.

Dispersed Locations – Many organizations engage training consultancies in different geographical regions that adds further complications to the delivery and scheduling of training. Most of the times, training has to be localized for different languages andCultures which also requires specific resources. Different regions also put in considerable time, expenditure, and resources to manage logistics related to training.

SUGGESTIONS

1. Nationally recognized outcomes- Training needs have been identified that correspond to existing training package qualifications or skills sets of national

[39]

units of competency. This will support registered training organizations to develop and implement meaningful training programs for specific cohorts of learners in areas of greatest skill development needs.

2. Appropriate resources- The research findings provide a clear direction for development of resources that meet sector needs to support training providers to deliver in rural and remote areas. Resources for rural and remote training delivery endorsed by industry sectors are greatly needed to encourage and support registered training organizations to deliver in traditionally thin market regions. This includes resources for new workers and the up skilling and recognition of existing

.

3. Appropriate training models- Training programs must be designed that address problems faced by rural and remote organizations. It is not acceptable that services must close in order for workers to attend training due to travel and no provision for backfilling of absent staff. Preferred training models included workplace based training, traineeships and recognition of prior learning. Research findings also recommended that video conferencing could be effective but needs to be available at convenient times not necessarily in real time.

4. Priority groups- Ideal training models and quality resources will only be useful if developed and designed with the needs of the primary users in mind. This research identified mature age people, new workers, existing workers, Aboriginals, school leavers and those returning to work as priority groups for targeted training in rural and remote INDIAN INDSUTRY.
