A Study on Training and Development at Bharathi Associates

mba hr projectsEmployee 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.
