A Study on Training and Development at Bharathi Associates

Employee training tries to improve skills, or add to the existing level of knowledge so that employee is better equipped to do his present job, or to prepare him for a higher position with increased responsibilities. However individual growth is not and ends in itself. Organizational growth need to be measured along with individual growth.

Training refers to the teaching/learning activities done for the primary purpose of helping members of an organization to acquire and apply the knowledge skills, abilities, and attitude needed by that organization to acquire and apply the same. Broadly speaking training is the act of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a particular job.

Training and development play vital and important role in any given organization in the modern day. Considering it, my study on training and development in Bharthi Associates gives me a scope to know in detail about the different techniques and method adopted by Bharthi Associates to train their employees very effectively and efficiently.

The problem statement included various factors such as knowing the training and development facilities to the employees and also to know what best effort has been put in by the firm to improvise it so that it can be utilized effectively and efficiently by the employees in the organization.

Bharthi Associates being a firm with very little number like 500 should give more concentration on its employees with regard to train them. Some amount of concentration has been given to the training of employees, however the consistency needs to be maintained in order to make sure all the employees are well knowledge and are in a better position to carry on their work with much more effectiveness in case of any unexpected issues or obstacles.

Indian textile industry can be compared to a pyramid of ice floating in water. “Only one tenth of the pyramid is visible, in the form of large textile mills in the organized sector. The body of the textile pyramid consists of the decentralized power loom and handloom sectors, which account for the bulk of India’s production. The base of the pyramid is the downstream apparel and household textile sectors. The entire pyramid employs about fifteen million (as in 2007, it was estimated 20 million) workers-most of whom work in small firms in the decentralized sector”.

Indeed, the structure of the Indian textile industry is as varied and deep-rooted as is its reform, challenging and daunting Indian textile and clothing industry is the largest foreign exchange earner for the country, and employs over 20 million people, second only to agriculture. India cannot afford to let this industry grow sick. That would be nothing short of a human tragedy.

A Study on Procedures of Handling Absenteeism

In the production process Human Resources plays a crucial role. This is because of its capacity to control and coordinate the other two resources namely material, money. The another unique feature of the man power is that it is the only live component. Hence the presence or the absence of work force makes a significant difference in the production process.

Another interesting point absenteeism is identified only where there is a demand for unskilled work which demands for physical efforts. Here it should be noted that in the developed countries industrial absenteeism is not that severe problem to say. It is because of the mechanization, automation of the operations while in the third world countries like India absenteeism is a serious issue always drags the attention of management.

Absenteeism is the failure of the employee to report for work when they are scheduled to work. A worker is considered as scheduled to work when the employer has work available for him and the worker is aware of it. Absenteeism is undesirable because of its cost and operating problems it causes. Due to absenteeism facilities may be under– utilized and productivity may drop because of reduced out-put. There also may be increased hike in costs for replacements, substandard productions, the need for more help from supervisors and increased inspection costs partial absenteeism in that employees report late to work.

Absenteeism in Indian Industry is not a new phenomenon. High absenteeism prevails among industrial labour mainly due to their rural orientation since then, a number of individual researchers have investigated the problem and have pointed out that absenteeism in our industry varies from 7 to 30 percent.

Hence, the researcher carried out a STUDY on projectskart.com to know the seventy of the issue the industry selected for the STUDY is Kalyani Global Engineering Private Limited, Mysore.

The organization is situated in Mysore city. The company gets technical know how for assembling brakes from Meritor HVS USA, one of the leading industries in auto component industry in the global market. This company belongs to Kalyani Group and head office is situated at Pune. The company has turnover of Rs.120 crores and is targeting to reach Rs.180 crores.

The development of any organization depends on the regularity of employees. The study is conducted to know the various levels and reasons for absence of employees in an organization. By looking it, one can adopt corrective measures to decrease irregularities in the organization, leads to organizational growth. Naturally organization has to look in to these aspects and need to find suitable remedial measures so that qualitative and quantitative progress can be achieved. In this present study employees absenteeism is analysed in depth.

Important characteristics of Indian workers are that, they are in the habit of abstaining from work compared to workers of other countries. The rate of absenteeism ranges from 4.3% to 44.8%. It also varies with the seasons in the year, the highest being during May, June of every year (48% May 1993).

The main reasons for absenteeism are sickness, accidents or maternity. These factors accounted for about 1.1% to 6.6%. Social and religious causes as high as 1.7% to 14.2%. Other causes like visiting villages for attending litigation, rest, and recreation account for 0.1% to 17.5% of total absenteeism. Absenteeism is directly effects on the progress of the country and as such the company’s are facing a downward trend due to recession and all that are involved in the process are to be looked in to. So I have selected this work at Kalyani Global Engineering Private Limited., Mysore to identify the level of absenteeism and to facilitate the company to move in this direction and find some progressive results.
