T & D 2

...continued from 1

Getting hands on through various steps usually taken by HR to pull off a successful T&D session.

The first steps starts with putting efforts to identify right trainer for the program. The trainer can be identified based on employee's feedback from previous training sessions and his skills. This is usually done one week prior to the T&D event. After the Trainer has been identified, HR calls him to confirm his availability, accommodation and travel assistance. HR gets to know all the items that needs to arranged for the training such as projector,laptops, pen-drives,printed materials and requisite tools etc. The Training approval letter and Trainer nomination letter is then processed and gets approved by branch head. HR then makes a confirmation call to Trainer for the T&D session and starts to prepare logistics needed for the event.

Coordinating all the logistics for the event forms the next set of activity for HR. These are carried out after obtaining approvals for respective expenditures from Finance department. HR then contacts the IT department to make arrangements for the session which involves providing the required hardware/software infrastructure for the session. HR ensures that IT staff  has to be available for support during the whole session. HR reaches out to House keeping department to ensure the Training room is properly equipped with electrical fittings such as AC, Fans, Lighting etc and office stationary required for training. The arrangement for accommodation and travel assistance if needed by trainer has to done by evaluating  various Hotels & Travel options as per the budget being allocated.

The T&D event is inaugurated  by Branch Head & HR Head followed by welcome speech. On the Training day the employees attending the event need not swipe their attendance cards as they have to follow the Training Schedule. HR maintains a list of attendance for the Training which is then used to collect the Training feedback form from respective employees after the event. Meanwhile HR works with Finance to approve for Trainer's compensation which is handed to him at the end of the training.

The next stage of activity lies in measuring the effectiveness of T&D program which forms a part of HR audit. Various parameters such as employee feedback, participants test score details and employee performances from  respective managers are filled in Employee enhancement form  within two weeks from the date of training, which is to be used for HR audit.

T&D 1

T & D is an integral process in Human Resource Management used to find out the gaps in technical & behavioural skills of employees and develop ways to minimize it. This is usually achieved through various training programs so as to increase efficiency & overall productivity of the organisation. The T&D needs in an organization are usually quantified through competency mapping techniques.

The Human Resource caters to the well being of it’s employees with their goals aligned with the growth of organization. T&D plays an important role towards this commitment and abolishes the impression of master slave relationship between employer and employee and helps both to evolve.

T&D provides healthy opportunity for growth both to individual and organization as a whole in long & short term. It enhances employee skills, provides stability and makes them adaptive to  various circumstances within the organization.

The competency mapping starts with HR finding the skill gaps of employees. This involves compiling the list of required skills for a given JD as against the working skills in a skill set book. The manager of respective groups needs to align with HR on identifying their employee’s skill gaps.  This information is then passed on to Finance which prepares the T&D budget and gets approval from the top management.  HR  then comes out with Training Calendar for the whole year for various divisions. The Trainer is decided based on employee’s previous training feedback, his skills and availability.

From table

Setting up a study table had been on my mind for quite some time. Reading or writing without a proper posture doesn't sink in and i am unable to carry the zeal for long. With everything typed in keys one hardly feels the need for it. But i had been wanting to read and write and that too on pen and paper and hence the idea of buying a study table. Fancied for a couple of  other addons to make whole  apparatus look complete. It involved a Classmate book, a Bensia pencil and a Mitsubishi pen. Looking forward to see all these tiny tools working in tandem to create an entity that will strive for excellence.
