It is due t o sudden globalization in the economy now as we go towards the market; we see a changing trend due to particular brand and selection of it. In the field of edu cation, new courses are introduces with having practical training, which needed but the theoretical knowledge is also being important. So, that we are aware wi th practical phase in business dealings and life. Management is a field, where Managerial & Practical Knowledge is required. With a view to getting practical knowledge of Industry, I needed to take training in the Industry according to our syllabus of practical study subject because only theoretical knowledge is not enough to get knowledge of business.

Introduction Human Resource Management is that part of management which is concerned with peo ple at work & their relationship within the organization. The term Human Resourc e Management refers to the management of personnel in the organization of any co mpany to achieve the predetermined goals. The duty of the personnel manager is t o look after the personnel department and various functions of the personnel lik e recruitment, selection, promotion, transfer, etc. In WELSPUN, there is Human Resource Department to carry out the functions of Hum an Resource Management. The objective of this department is as below: (1) To ensure satisfaction to the employees so that they are freely ready to work. (2) To attain maximum individual development. (3) To improve efficiency of the human resources. Realizing that employees are its greatest assets, WELSPUN from its very inceptio n has been striving to build up a sound & transparent organizational culture to inclusive to sense of belonging among its employees. Human Resource Management is a management function that helps manager recruit, s elect, train and develop members for an organization. Obviously, HRM is concerne d with the peoples dimensions in organizations. In other words, HRM is also a management function concerned with hiring, motivat ing and maintaining people in organization. It focuses on peoples in organizatio n. Human Resource Department mainly deals with: 1. Manpower Need Why? Where? How? And When? 2. Wages and salary 3. Performance Appraisal 4. Recruitment 5. Discipline conduct 6. Welfare & other services 7. Other miscellaneous functions Nature Of HRM :-

Human resource management is a management function that helps manager recruit, select, train and develop members for an organizations. Obviously, HRM is concer ned with the peoples dimensions in an organizations. Specifically, the following constitute the core of HRM :1. Organizations are not mere bricks, mortar, machineries and inventories. They are people. It is the people who staff and manage organizations. 2. HRM involves the application of management functions and principles. The functions and principles are applied to acquisitioning, developing, maintaining , and remunerating employees in organizations. 3. Decisions relating to employees must be integrated. Decisions on differe nt aspects of employees must be consistence with other human resources (HR) deci sions. 4. Decisions made must influence the effectiveness of an organization. Effe ctiveness of an organization must result in betterment of services to customers in the form of high quality products supplied at reasonable cost. 5. HRM functions are not confined to business establishment only. They are applicable to non-business organizations, too, such as education, health care, r ecreation, and the like. Obviously, HRM refers to a set of programmers, functions and activities designed and carried out in order to maximize both employee as well as organizational ef fectiveness. HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT HRD can be defined as a set of systematic and planned activities de signed by an organization to provide its members with the opportunities to learn necessary skills to meet current and future job demands In other view, If we need to find a way to develop employees in order to become effective contributors to the goals of an organization, we need to ha ve a clear view of what an effective contribution would look like. The use of pe rsonal capacities can be very helpful in describing the way in which an effectiv e employee should operate and behave, but there can be no general prescription o f an effective employee. Effectiveness will differ with organizational context, and on whose perspective we are adopting. The matter of what, finally, makes an effective employee is a combination of personality, natural capabilities, develo ped skills, experience and learning. The process of enhancing an employees presen t and future effectiveness is called development.

The concept of individual and organizational development, or Human Resource Dev elopment, is the mother concept which embraces several concepts of human resourc e development, such as: Education, which is concerned with inducting learners into a whole way of life. For example, management education is concerned with inducting learners into a ma nagerial form of life with distinctive values, norms and ways of doing things wi thin an organizational context. Training, which is concerned with developing a particular skill, eg learning to operate a machine or drive a car, to a desired standard by specific instruction and practice. Competency, which is performing a skill effectively and successfully. Learning, which is the process by which skills, knowledge and attitudes are acqui ed and translated into habitual forms of behavior and performance, whether by de sign or through the natural passage of time (Harrison, 1993). According to Harrison, development is the all-important process, through which ind

ividual and organizational growth can through time achieve their fullest potenti al. Education is a major contributor to that development process, because it dir ectly and continuously affects the formation not only of knowledge and abilities , but of character and of culture, aspirations and achievements. Training is the shorter-term, systematic process through which an individual is helped to maste r defined tasks or areas of skill and knowledge to predetermined standards (Harris on, 1989 cited in Lundy & Cowling, 1996). However, in the managerial context, in dividual and organizational development must be linked to the concepts of effect iveness and organizational learning in order to give it a more precise meaning a nd purpose.

Approaches to Human Resource Development: Training The theoretical base of training As mentioned above, training constitutes a basic concept in Human Resource Devel opment. It is the systematic modification of behaviour through learning which oc curs as a result of education, instruction, development and planned experience. As was said earlier, it is concerned with developing a particular skill to a des ired standard by instruction and practice. Training was defined in greater detai l by the British Manpower Services Commission (1981) as follows: A planned proces s to modify attitude, knowledge or skill behaviour through learning experience t o achieve effective performance in an activity or range of activities. Its purpo se, in the work situation, is to develop the abilities of the individual and to satisfy the current and future manpower needs of the organization. Training is a highly useful tool which can bring an employee into a position whe re he/she can do his/her job correctly, effectively and conscientiously: a) corr ectly, in that he/she can apply whatever he/she has been taught, b) effectively, in that he/she may be in a position where he/she can perform to the expected st andards, and c) conscientiously, in that the behaviour of the trainers can bring the trainees to the position where they can put their maximum effort at the rig ht time. A training course should constitute a key feature in a formal development progra mme, and this could be a standard offering by various specialist bodies or in-ho use courses developed for the organizations specialist needs. Increasingly, these options are being combined so that there is the possibility of an externally pr ovided course tailored to suit an organizations particular needs. Most training schemes and processes are based on the following model: Identification of training needs and the setting of training objectives. Identification and selection of training and development methods. Design of a training and development programme. Implementation of the programme. Evaluation of the programme. On this point, it is necessary to indicate briefly how learning occurs. Accordin g to Lundy and Cowing (1996) there are four main theoretical perspectives of lea rning: The Behaviorist theory, which equates the human being with a machine stimulated into learning by positive or negative reinforcement. The Cognitive theory, which equates the human being to a brain and stresses the importance of critical thinking and problem solving. The Gestalt theory, which involves the whole personality and stresses that the w hole (the gestalt) is more than the sum of the parts. A gestalt begins to form w hen the individual experiences a physical and/or psychological need in relation to the environment. This moves the individual away from equilibrium in the direc

tion of action to satisfy a need. Equilibrium is only re-established when the le arning problem is solved. The Humanistic theory, which maintains that all individuals have the capacity to learn and, therefore, that the purpose of learning is to encourage each individ ual to attain his/her full potential. The goals of training The main goal of training is to help the organization achieve its objectives by adding value to its key assets the people it employs. Training means investing i n people to enable them to perform better and to empower them to make the best u se of their natural abilities. The particular objectives of training are to: Develop the competencies of employees and improve their performance. Help people grow within the organization in order that, as far as possible, its future needs for human resources can be met from within. Reduce the learning time for employees starting in new jobs on appointment, tran sfer or promotion, and ensure that they become fully competent as quickly and ef fectively as possible. Training and learning Training is a learning experience in that it seeks a relatively permanent change in an individual that will improve the ability to perform on the job. We typical ly say training can involve the changing of skills, knowledge, attitudes, or beh avior. It may means changing what employees know, how they work, their attitudes towards their work, or their interaction with their co-workers or supervisor (De Cenzo and Robbins, 1996). According to De Cenzo and Robbins, there are two ways which have dominated learning research over the years. Specifically: Operant conditioning: This way views learning as a behavioral change brought abo ut by a function of its consequences. It can be described as a type of condition ing in which behavior leads to a reward or prevents punishment. Operant conditio ning focuses on learning from external sources, as opposed to learning that take s place from within (Skinner, 1971). In operant conditioning, there are four way s in which behavior can be shaped: Positive reinforcement, which provides a pleasant response to an individuals acti ons. Negative reinforcement, which involves an unpleasant reward. Punishment, which penalizes employees for specific undesirable behaviors. Social learning theory: This theory views learning as a continuous interaction b etween individuals and their environments. According to this theory, learning oc curs through observation and direct experience. Social learning theory focuses o n what individuals observe, and the importance of their perceptions in learning. In social learning, four processes have been found to determine the influence a model will have on an individual. Attentional processes. People only learn from models when they recognize and pay attention to their critical features. Retention processes. A models influence will depend on how well the individual re members the models action. Motor reproduction processes. After a person has seen a new behavior by observin g the model, the observation must be converted to doing. Reinforcement processes. Individuals will be motivated to exhibit the modeled be havior if positive incentives or rewards are provided. Diagnosis of training needs Training has always been important. In recent years, however, the process of tra ining is more important than ever in order for organizations to cope with accele rating change which affects existent training needs (eg inefficient job performa nce) and future training needs (eg responding to the continuous progress of tech

nology). According to Kenney and Reid (1994), the most common methods of diagnosis of org anizational training needs are the following: Evaluation of personnel. The director (or a team) evaluates the personnels perfor mance. This process takes place periodically with an evaluation form. That form contains questions in which the ability to take good knowledge and the abilities of organizing, leadership and progress will be reported. Analysis of work. Every step which takes place during the work performance exami ned in order to determine if it is really needed. After determining the necessar y steps, the areas in which employees need training must be identified. Analysis of skills. The trainer must first identify the differences between new and experienced employees, in relation to their effectiveness. These differences will show the size of the training need for the new employees. Observation. Observation can help the trainer find out what an employee does not do correctly and in that way to determine the training needs. Changes in the organization or the job. The creation of new job positions, the a bolition of old positions and the integration of positions are some important ch anges which often take place in a company and generate the need for training. Interviews between super ordinates and subordinates. Very often, when the super ordinate and the subordinate discuss matters which concern the organization, it is a good opportunity to discuss training needs as well. These interviews can be formal or informal. Analysis of data. Selecting data from departmental records (such as personnel st atistics, accident records, training reports, and staff appraisal forms) also he lps to identify training needs. What other organizations do. According to this method, small organizations must take advantage of information about what larger organizations do in relation to training.

Understanding training To understand how training should be developed and operated within an organizati on, the first requirement is to appreciate learning theory and approaches to pro viding learning and development opportunities in organizations. It is then neces sary to understand the following approaches to training (Armstrong, 1996): Training philosophy. The process of training. Identifying training needs. Planning training. Conducting training. Responsibility for training. Evaluating training. Types and the process of training a) Systematic training According to Armstrong (1992), systematic training is training which is specifica lly designed to meet defined needs. It is planned and provided by people who kno w how to train, and the impact of training is carefully evaluated. It is based on a simple, four-stage model expressed as follows: Define training needs. Decide what sort of training is required to satisfy these needs. Use experienced and trained trainers to plan and implement training.

Follow up and evaluate training to ensure that it is effective.

The model of systematic training provides a good basis for planning training pro grammes, but it is often oversimplified training is a more complex process than this. Another drawback of systematic training is that insufficient emphasis is p laced on the responsibilities of managers and individuals for training. The conc ept of planned training provides a more comprehensive description of the trainin g process. b) Planned training Planned n aimed cess of training is defined by Kenney and Reid (1994) as a deliberate interventio at achieving the learning necessary for improved job performance. The pro planned training consists of the following steps: Identify and define training needs. Define the learning required. Define the objectives of training. Plan training programmes. Decide who provides the training. Implement the training.

c) Identification of learning and training needs Training must have a purpose and that purpose can be defined only if the learnin g needs of the organization and the groups and individuals within it have been s ystematically identified and analyzed. According to Kempton (1995), training nee ds can be identified at the individual and the organization level.

At the individual level Identification will need to begin with the job description. This will provide a list of the skills and knowledge required. It can be compared with the actual sk ills and knowledge that the job holder processes. Another approach could be to look at critical incidents over, say, the past thre e months that were particularly challenging or stressful. The training can then be directed at the areas that are most relevant. Managers will also be able to identify training for their subordinates. One of t he best ways of achieving this is through the appraisal interview, where agreed training needs can be identified. Individuals may request training that they perceive will equip them for a change of job, either laterally or through promotion. At the organizational level Training needs may be identified through the performance appraisal system. This may provide the key channel for feeding back individual needs. The information s hould be processed by a human resource professional in order to plan the overall needs of the organization. The management team may identify areas from the corporate plan that they want in cluded in the training plans. d) Planning training programmes Every training programme needs to be designed individually, and the design will continually evolve as new learning needs emerge, or when feedback indicates that

changes are required. According to Kempton (1995), before consideration is give n to special aspects of training programmes for managers, team leaders, craft an d technical trainees, and office staff, decisions are necessary in the following areas: Objectives: The objectives need to be considered against the desired results. Th e end-result will be the acquisition of a new skill or changed behavior. Skills and behaviors can be learned. A skill can be learnt in isolation whereas a behav ioral change will lead to permanent change in the values and behaviours held. Th at means, teaching the skill of juggling to people who can not juggle is achieva ble. Location: Is the training to be on-site? Is the training to be run by an externa l source? Timing: Is there an optimum time for the training to take place? What is the dur ation of the training, and if it is to be a series of courses does a pilot cours e need to be planned? Level: If the training is to be just conceptual, are the trainees experienced en ough to be able to relate it to the work situation? Techniques: Consideration should be given to elements of technique. Is it approp riate to use case studies or role plays? What is the objectivity level of the tr ainer and the expectation of the trainee? There is a variety of training techniq ues that can be used. According to Armstrong (1996), these techniques can be div ided into: On-the-job techniques, which are practiced on a-day-to-day basis or as part of a specially tailored training programme. These techniques include demonstration, coaching, job rotation, planned experience and mentoring Off-the-job techniques, which are used in formal training courses away from the place of work. These techniques include lectures, talks, discussions, the discov ery method, case study, role-playing, simulation, group exercises, team building , distance learning, outdoor learning and workshops. On- or off-the-job techniques, which include instruction, question and answer, a ction learning, assignments, projects, guided reading, computer-based training, interactive video and video. e) Conducting training programmes According to Armstrong (1996), the only general rules for conducting training pr ogrammes are that first, the courses should continually be monitored to ensure t hat they are proceeding according to plan and within the agreed budget and secon d, all training should be evaluated after the event to check on the extend to wh ich it is delivering the required results. There are, however, a number of considerations which affect the conduct of train ing for specific occupations, and those concerning managers and team leaders, sa les staff, skilled workers and office staff are the following: Management and team leader training. Sales training. Technical and skill or craft training. Training office staff. Team building training. Meeting the training needs of special groups.

f) Responsibility for training It is believed that most learning occurs on the job through coaching, planned ex perience and self-development. The onus is on managers and individuals to ensure that it takes place. Senior management must create a learning organization in w hich managers recognize that training and development are a key part of their ro le and one on which their performance will be assessed. The role of a specialized training function is generally to provide advice and g uidance to managers on their training responsibilities. According to Armstrong ( 1996), some of the responsibilities of a training function are the following: Developing training strategies which support the achievement of business strateg ies. Analyzing and identifying corporate and occupational training needs. Developing proposals on how these needs should be satisfied. Preparing plans and budgets for training activities. Identifying external training resources, selecting external training providers, specifying what is required from them and ensuring that their delivery of traini ng meets the specification. Advising on external training courses for individuals or groups. Organizing internal courses and training programmes, but often relying on outsid e help for the whole or part of formal training courses. Training managers, supervisors and mentors in their training responsibilities. Providing help and guidance to individuals in the preparation and implementation of personal development plans. Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of training throughout the organizat ion. g) Evaluation of training One of the most nebulous and unsatisfactory aspects of training programmes is th e evaluation of their effectiveness. Evaluation has been defined by Hamblin (197 4), as any attempt to obtain information (feedback) on the effects of a training programme, and to assess the value of the training in the light of that informat ion. Evaluation leads to control which means deciding whether or not the training was worth the effort and what improvements are required to make it even more ef fective. According to Hamblin, there are five levels at which evaluation can tak e place: Reactions of trainees to the training experience itself. Learning evaluation requires the measurement of what trainees have learned as a result of their training. Job behavior evaluation is concerned with measuring the extent to which trainees have applied their learning on the job. Organizational unit evaluation attempts to measure the effect of changes in the job behavior of trainees on the functioning of the part of the organization in w hich they are employed. Ultimate value evaluation aims to measure how the organization as a whole has be nefited from the training in terms of greater profitability, survival or growth.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES FOR EMPLOYEES To sustain the healthy work culture and maximize the utilization of h

uman potential in achieving organizational objectives, WELSPUN had contributed a l ot. In-house Training:After the identification of the training needs of employee and keeping in view the requirement of the society, the in-house training programs are organized. In such training programs, faculties are drawn from within the or ganization and from outside also. Induction Training: New appointees are imparted Induction training covering WELSPUNs aim obje ctive and achievement, work culture, office. Normally internal faculty is drawn for such training. New appointees are put on the job only after necessary induct ion training. Similarly, special programs are being designed and the employees who have been p rovided to officer category from the workmen category in the recent past.

Fire and Safety Training: In this training, trainer helps to aware about taking step at the time of critic al situation like fire, earth-quake safety measures and other natural calamities and also gives some practical examples as well as practical things.

OVER ALL RESPONSE ON HRD CLIMATE SURVEY Response % of respondents Strongly Satisfied 27.04% Satisfied 40.37% Quite Satisfied 22.59% Dis Satisfied 6.30%

FINDINGS The current analysis shows that the average points of HRD Climate of PCMD is 2. 41. This means that HRD Climate is good enough up to the extent of 60.25%. But i deally effort should be made to improve the climate to 100%. The current analysis shows that 0.37% were for neutral which shows that employee s were neutral in their answer which also affects for measuring HRD Climate. The level of satisfaction is almost higher in all the 4 criteria for measuring H RD Climate. As we are calculating the HRD Climate from Quite Satisfied to Highly satisfied, the grand mean for these three criteria is nearby 3 which is a good sign.

CONCLUSION This study is made in Welspun Plate & Coil Mills Division. The study measures th e current HRD Climate prevailing into the PCMD and measuring the satisfaction le vel of employee. analysis shows that the average points of HRD Climate of PCMD is 2.41. This mea ns that HRD Climate is good enough up to the extent of 60% but ideally it should be 100%. The mean value of Quite satisfied and dissatisfied criteria is lesser than the grand mean of all the four criterias. Overall HRD Climate is good in PCMD. BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. Human Resource Management (K.
