The project has been undertaken to study the training needs Effectiveness of the employees in Helios solutions ltd, hosur and there by to identify the problems to take timely action to improve the training needs. The primary objective of the study, the training need effectiveness of the employees. The secondary objective of the study is to identify the ways to improve the training needs. To conduct the study sample size selected in consolation with the internal guide of the company with the help of the questionnaire primary data were obtained and through statistical tools were used to analysis the data. In the study it has been found that the employees are satisfied with the training given respect to employee learning plan process, training calendar, target achievements, communication, etc. Through the study on identification training needs effectiveness few suggestion given to the company in the areas, like coaching, guiding, training, solving problems related to existing process.
Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced people to perform the activities that have to be done. If the current or potential job occupant can meet this requirement, training is not important But when, this is not the case, it is necessary to raise the skill levels and increase the versatility and adaptability of employees. Inadequate job performance or a decline in productivity or changes resulting out of training and development efforts. As the jobs become more complex, the importance of employee development also increases. In a rapidly changing society, employee training and development are not only an activity that is desirable but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is to maintain a viable and knowledgeable work force. 'Training', 'education' and 'development, are three terms frequently used. There appears some difference between them. In all 'training' there is some 'education' and in all 'education 'there is some' training. And the two processes cannot separated from 'development'. Training is a process of learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It is application of knowledge. It gives people an awareness of the rules and procedures to guide their behavior. It attempts to improve their performance on the current job or prepare 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, help individuals in the progress towards maturity and actualization of their potential capacities so that they become not only good employees but better men and women In organization terms, it is intended to equip persons to earn promotion and hold greater responsibility. Training a person for bigger and higher job is development. And this may well include not only imparting specific skills and knowledge but also including certain personality and mental attitudes. In this sense, development is not much different from education. 7
Education is the understanding and intervention of knowledge. It does not provide definitive answers, but rather it develops a logical and rational mind that can determine relationships among pertinent variables and thereby character, and understanding of basic principles and develop the capacities of analysis, synthesis and objectivity. Usually, education is outside the scope of an organization's functions. It involves a range of skills and expertise which can be provided only by educational institutions. An organization can and does make use of such institutions in order to support and supplement its internal training and development efforts. "Training is short-term process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which non-managerial personnel learn technical knowledge and skills for a definite purpose. Development is a long-term educational process utilizing a systematic and organized procedure by which managerial personnel learn conceptual and theoretical knowledge for general purpose.

Before the training programme is conducted, it is necessary that the training needs are identified. This means that we should know as to what training inputs are required to be given and to whom. Training need identification can be done through group problem analysis, survey through questionnaires, job analysis, performance appraisal, etc. Providing means other than training helps employee to know his current job whether his skills matches with his current job if not conduct training programme that is suitable for his current job to perform effectively in his tasks.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The study is aimed at achieving following objectives.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: To know the effectiveness of existing Employee Learning process. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To capture the concerns on the existing process. To identify whether training programmes lead to target achievements Effectiveness of training programmes.

1.6.1
THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVE
Meaning of Training "Training refers only to instruction in technical and mechanical operations. Training courses are typically designed for a short term., stated set purpose." - (Campbell) "Training is the art of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job." - (Tripathy) "Training is a learning process which seeks a relatively permanent change in behavior that occurs as a result of experience. - ([Link]) "Training involves changing of skills, knowledge, attitude or social behavior." - (David decenzo & [Link])

technological change. Effective training is an invaluable investment in the HR of an organization. There is an ever present need for training so that new and changed techniques may be taken advantage and improvement effected in the old methods, which are woefully inefficient.
25
Training is most effective when it is planned, implemented and evaluated in a systematic way. Unplanned, uncoordinated and haphazard training efforts greatly reduce the learning that can be expected. The table shows three components of a systematic approach to training.
27
Identification of Training Needs Organization of training programme * Organization Analysis * Trainee & Instructor Setting Training Objectives *Evaluation of Training Results Task Analysis * Period ofResource Analysis * Human Training * Training Methods & Material
Identification of Training needs must contain three types of analyses a) Organizational analysis b) Operations analysis c) Man analysis a) Organizational analysis It involves a study of entire organization in terms of it objectives, its resources, in order to achieve stated objectives and its interaction pattern with environment. The important aspects that are closely examined in this connection are:
RESOURCE UTILIZATION ANALYSIS How the organizational resources (human, physical and financial) are put use is the main focus of this study. The contributions of various departments are also examined by establishing efficiency indices for each unit. This is done to find out comparative labour costs, where a unit is under manned or over manned. ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING Here the economic, political, socio-cultural and technological environment of the organization is examined. ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE ANALYSIS The climate of an organization speaks about the attitudes of members towards work, company policies, supervisors, etc. Absenteeism, turnover ratios generally reflect the prevailing employee attitudes. This can be used to find out whether training efforts have improved the overall climate within the company or not. B) TASK OR ROLE ANALYSIS This is a detailed examination of a job, its components, its carious operations and conditions under which it has to be performed. The focus here is on the roles played by an individual and the training needed to perform such roles. The whole exercise is meant to find out how the various tasks have to be performed and what kind of skills, knowledge, attitudes are needed to meet the job needs. Questionnaires, interviews, reports, tests, observation and other methods are generally used to collect job related information from time-to-time. After collecting the information, an appropriate training programmer may be designed, paying attention to 1) performance standards required of employees, 2) the tasks they have to discharge, 3) the methods they will employee on the job and 4) how they have learned such methods, etc.
29
c) MAN POWER ANALYSIS Here the focus is on the individual in a given job. There are three issues to be resolved through manpower analysis. First we try to find one whether performance is satisfactory and training is required. Second, whether the employee is capable of being trained and the specific areas in which training is needed. Finally, we needed to state whether to poor performances (who can improve with requisite training inputs) on the job need to be replaced by those who can do the job. Other options to training such as modifications in the job or processes should also be looked int. Personal observation, performance reviews, supervisory reports, diagnostic tests help in collecting the required information and select particular training options that try to improve the performance of individual workers. To be effective, training efforts must continuously monitor and coordinate the three kinds of analysis described above. An appropriate programme that meets the company's objectives, tasks and employee needs may then be introduced. Further, the training needs have to be prioritized so that the limited resource4s that are allocated to fill training gaps are put to use in a proper way. SETTING TRAINING OBJECTIVES: For successful training interventions, the objectives and scope of the course must be clearly defined. This will provide a basis for further development, common agreement and cooperative action on the part of all concerned. DESIGNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES: (ORGANIZATION OF TRAINING PROGRAMME) This will include the course content, duration, timing, and method of training. The technique and process of training programmer should be related to the needs and objectives of the organization. The method adopted will depend upon the training objectives. EVALUATION OF TRAINING AND RESULTS: Objectives of training evaluation is to determine the ability of the participant in the training programme to perform jobs for which they were trained, the specific nature of
training deficiencies, whether the trainees required any additional on the job training, and the extent of training not needed for participants to meet job requirements. 1.6.9 TRAINING METHODS ASSIGNED READINGS: Reading may or may not be specially prepared for training purpose.
CASE DISCUSSION: Real or fictitious cases or incidents are discussed in small groups.
PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION: (OR TEACHING BY THE MACHINE METHOD) Programmed instruction involves a sequence of steps which are often set up through the central panel of an electronic computer as guides in the performance of a desired operation or series of operation. It incorporates a pre-arranged, proposed, or desired course of proceedings pertaining to the learning or acquisition of some specific skills or general knowledge. A programmed instruction involves breaking information down into meaningful units and then arranging these in a proper way to form a logical and sequential learning programme or package. In such a programmed, knowledge is imparted with the use of a textbook or a teaching machine. The programmed involves: presenting question, facts or problem to the trainee to utilize the information given; and the trainee instantly receives feedback (and sometimes rewards or penalties) on the basis of the accuracy of his answers. CLASSROOM TRAINING OR OFF-THE-JOB METHOD: Training that takes place in a classroom or school setting. "Off-the-job training" simply means that training is not a part of everyday job activity. The actual location may be in the company class-rooms or in places which are owned by the company or in universities or associations which have no connection with the company.
31
BRAINSTORMING: Here a problem will be posed and ideas invited from the trainees. Later the ideas will be critically examined. The trainees mental capacity will be calculated and will be treated respectively. Brainstorming frankly fervors divergence and this fact may be sufficient to explain why brain storming is so little used and as yet in developing countries where new solution ought to be the highest premium. It is mutually untried even only, not change in behavior. ROLE-PLAYING: This method was developed by Moreno, a Venetian Psychiatrist. He coined the terms " role-reversal," " socio-drama," psychodramas," and a variety of specialized terms, with emphasis on learning human relation skills through practice and insight into one's own behavior and its effect upon others. It has been defined as "a method of human interaction which involves realistic behavior in the imaginary situations." As Norman Major has pointed out, a "role-playing experience soon demonstrates the gap between "thinking" and 'doing'. The idea of role-playing involves action, doing and practice." LECTURE: Oral presentation of material by the trainer, with limited or no audience participation. Lectures are regarded as one of the most simple way of imparting knowledge to the trainees, especially when facts, concepts, or principles, attitudes, theories and problem-solving abilities are to be taught. The lecture method can be used for very large groups which are to be trained within a short time, thus reducing the cost per trainees.
CONFERENCE: Short meetings (generally one week or less) among technical specialists or
others working in a common field to discuss a particular topic of shared professional interest. May include component activities with explicit learning objectives as well as general sharing of work - related information. In this method, the participating individuals 'confer' to discuss points of common interest to each other. A conference is basic to most participative groupcentered methods of development. It is a formal meeting, conducted in accordance with an organized plan, in which the leader seeks to develop knowledge and understanding by obtaining a considerable amount of oral participation of the trainees. In training conference, the instructor gets the group to pool its knowledge and past experience and brings different points of view to bear on the problem. BUSINESS SIMULATION: Both paper simulation (such as in-basket exercises) and computer-based business "games" are used to each management skills. Business simulation is best illustrated by the topics discussed at meetings of the association for business simulation and experimental learning. For example with attitudes and values to simulation in courses such as accounting, financial analysis, market researching, decision support systems, business policy and strategic management. ON THE JOB TRAINING: The most necessary method of training employees in the skills essential for acceptable for job performance. It is 'Learning by Doing', and it is most useful for jobs that are either difficult to stimulate or can be learned quickly by watching and doing. CD-ROM: CD-ROM technology used to provide combinations of other methods, such as Readings, lecture, and video.
33
IN-HOUSE TRAINING: In-house training is a training program for learning opportunities developed by the organization in which they are used. Training may be required to be provided to employees as part of legislative requirements for industry performance and safety standards or continuing education requirements. However, training may be offered voluntarily by an employer to maintain the competitiveness of the organization. Some of the benefits of in-house training are: Savings on travel, lodging, meals, and other miscellaneous costs. Customization to the specific needs of the organization Opportunity for follow-up after training
EXTERNAL TRAINING: External training is best suited to companies that do not have the resources to provide their own training, but need formal recognition of staff skills (e.g. for licensing requirements). BENEFITS OF EXTERNAL TRAINING: Minimal inconvenience, other than roistering staff to accommodate the training. Training materials are supplied by the registered training organization. The training is nationally recognized. Training through an 'open' program allows staff to interact with people
outside the company. SELF-LEARNING: Self-Learning is a voluntary, Internet-based program that allows employee to evaluate themselves on how well they are able to keep in touch with current issues in present scenario. Helps you to discover an ideal vision of yourself to feel motivated in developing the abilities necessary to get you where you want to be. That is, you see the person you want to be living with the capability necessary to create and sustain the new you. This becomes the source of the energy required to work at the difficult and often frustrating process of change.

CHAPTER 2 2.1 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework discusses the interrelationship among the variables that are deemed to be integral to the dynamics of the situation being investigated. Dependent Variable Independent Variable Moderate Variable : : : Training needs effectiveness Skill improvement Managerial Expertise
DEPENDENT VARIABLE
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE
MODERATE VARIABLE Dependent variable training needs identification that explains the variance in the independent variable Target achievements. The moderating variable is one that has a strong contingent effect on the independent variable-dependent variable relationship. That is, the presence of a third variable (the moderating variable) skill improvements modifies the original relationship between the independent and the dependent variable.
HYPOTHESIS TESTING: HYPOTHESIS A logically conjectured relationship between two or more variables expressed in the testable statement. 1. NULL HYPOTHESES Category of employment does not significantly influence the effectiveness of Skill Matrix / Performance Appraisal Coach Review / Target on opinion of respondents in respect of effectiveness of training. 2. ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES Category of employment does not significantly influence the effectiveness of Skill Matrix / Performance Appraisal Coach Review / Target on opinion of respondents in respect of effectiveness of training. RESEARCH DESIGN: The formidable that follows the task of the defining the research problem is the preparation of the design of the research project, popularly known as the "research design" . Decisions regarding what, where, when, how much, by what means concerning an inquiry or a research study constitute a research design. "A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure." In fact, the research design is the blue print for collection, measurement and analysis of data. As such the design includes an outline of what the researcher will do from writing the hypothesis and its operational implications to the final analysis of data.
37
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH: The study is designed as descriptive nature. Descriptive study attempts to obtain a complete and accurate description of the situation. The methodology involved in this design is mostly qualitative in nature producing data. After analyzing the data the researcher attempts to predict the result of certain measures of the management to improve the employees training effectiveness. STUDY SETTING: NON-CONTRIVED STUDY: This research is done in the natural environment where work proceeds normally. EXTENT OF RESEARCHER INFERENCE MINIMAL INFERENCE: The researcher will collect data from the employees through a questionnaire to indicate to what extent training programmes support employees to perform better in their job. UNIT OF ANALYSIS: INDIVIDUAL: The data gathered from each individual and treating each employee's response as an individual data source. TIME HORIZON: One shot or cross-sectional studies: A study is done in which data are gathered just once, perhaps over a period of days or weeks or months such studies are called one-shot or cross-sectional studies.
MEASUREMENT:
Three scales are used for measurement, NOMINAL SCALE: Always used for obtaining personal data such as gender, department, and category. INTERVAL SCALE: Interval scale is used when responses to various items that Measures a variable can be tapped on a 4-point scale. DICHOTOMOUS: Used to elicit a yes or no answers.
39
2.2 DATACOLLECTION METHODS: SOURCES OF DATA: PRIMARY DATA: Information collected first hand by the researcher directly on the variables (employees) SECONDARY DATA: Information gathered from sources already existing, such as collected from company records and books. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT: The research instrument in this case was questionnaire. It was framed with both open ended and close-ended questions. Open-ended questions: Allow the respondents to answer them in any way. Close-ended questions: Make choice among one the respondents select. SAMPLING: Sampling is the process of selective is a sufficient number of elements from the population, so that a study of the sample and on understanding of its properties or characteristics would make it possible for us to generalize such properties or characteristics to the population. SAMPLING PLAN SAMPLE UNIT: SAMPLE SIZE: The sample size was 25.
2.2.1 DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS Tool used for the analysis are as follow Percentage: Percentage analysis refers to a special kind of ratio, percentage are used in making compares ions between two more series of data percentage are used to describe the relationships. Percentage is calculated are follows, = d/n x 100 Where 'd' is the number of the respondents Where 'n' is the base of figure or the sample group Chi- Square: The Chi-Square analysis a statistical measure. In the context of sampling analysis for comparing the variance to a theoretical variance. Sit can be used to determine if categorical data shows comparisons between theoretical population and actual data when categories are used. Percentage Chi-square Interval estimation correlation
Step 1: Define the hypothesis Null hypothesis (Ho): There is no significant relationship between the variables. Alternative hypothesis (H1): There is significant relationship between the variables. Step 2: Specify the value of significance (5%)
41
Step 3: With the sample data find out the chi-square value using the formula X2= (Oij-Eij) /Eij Step 4: Calculate the degree of freedom (df=(r-1)(c-1) Step 5: Calculate the above value of chi-square using the level of significance and degree of freedom. Step 6: Compare chi-square value and table value. Step 7: If chi-square value is greater than the table value of chi-square. Reject Ho else accept it. Correlation Analysis: Correlation analysis measures relationship and testing hypothesis. The correlation co-efficient measures the degree of association between the variables. The correlation could be positive or negative. It involves three main aspects. [Link] the degree of association between variables. [Link] the relationship is significant. [Link] cause and effect relationship Karl pearsons co-efficient of correlation (or simple correlation) This is most widely used method of measuring the degree relationship between two variables. This co-efficient assume the following. [Link] there is linear relationship between the two variables [Link] the two variables are casually which means related which means that one of the variables is independent and the other one is dependent and III.A large number of independent causes are operating in both variables so as to produce a normal distribution. Correlation is off positive & Negative
Positive Correlation If both the variable are varying in the same direction. i.e., if one variable is increasing the other variable is also increasing or if one variable is decreasing the other on an average is also decreasing. The correlation is said to be positive. Negative Correlation On the other hand, the variables are varying in the opposite direction i.e., one variable is increasing and the other is decreasing and vice versa correlation is said to be negative. Interval Estimation: It is a range of value used to estimate population parameter. The formula, which is used to derive the solution as follows. I.E=P1.96 PQ/n P States the number of respondents who has given yes. Q States the number of respondents who has given no. N Number of respondents.
