                                 INTRODUCTION
The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting up with global
standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated contribution
to nearly 1% to India’s GDP.

The Indian Telecommunication network with 110.01 million connections is the fifth largest in the
world and second largest among the emerging economies in Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing
market in the world and represents unique opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global
scenario. The total subscriber base has grown by 40% in 2005 and has reached 250 million in
2007. The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5 CDMA
operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities, covering 2000
towns across the country

The telecom industry is the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200 million
telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA. With a
growth rate of 45%, Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world.

                                                3
HISTORY

History of Indian Telecommunications started in 1851 when the first operational land lines were
laid by the government near Calcutta (seat of British power). Telephone services were introduced
in India in 1881. In 1883 telephone services were merged with the postal system. Indian Radio
Telegraph Company (IRT) was formed in 1923. After independence in 1947, all the foreign
telecommunication companies were nationalized to form the Posts, Telephone and Telegraph
(PTT), a monopoly run by the government's Ministry of Communications. Telecom sector was
considered as a strategic service and the government considered it best to bring under state's
control.

The first wind of reforms in telecommunications sector began to flow in 1980s when the private
sector was allowed in telecommunications equipment manufacturing. In 1985, Department of
Telecommunications (DOT) was established. It was an exclusive provider of domestic and long-
distance service that would be its own regulator (separate from the postal system). In 1986, two
wholly government-owned companies were created: the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL)
for international telecommunications and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) for
service in metropolitan areas.




In 1990s, telecommunications sector benefited from the general opening up of the economy.
Also, examples of telecom revolution in many other countries, which resulted in better quality of
service and lower tariffs, led Indian policy makers to initiate a change process finally resulting in
opening up of telecom services sector for the private sector. National Telecom Policy (NTP)
1994 was the first attempt to give a comprehensive roadmap for the Indian telecommunications
sector. In 1997, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was created. TRAI was formed
to act as a regulator to facilitate the growth of the telecom sector. New National Telecom Policy
was adopted in 1999 and cellular services were also launched in the same year.

Telecommunication sector in India can be divided into two segments: Fixed Service Provider
(FSPs), and Cellular Services. Fixed line services consist of basic services, national or domestic
long distance and international long distance services. The state operators (BSNL and MTNL),
account for almost 90 per cent of revenues from basic services. Private sector services are
presently available in selective urban areas, and collectively account for less than 5 per cent of
subscriptions. However, private services focus on the business/corporate sector, and offer
reliable, high- end services, such as leased lines, ISDN, closed user group and videoconferencing.


                                                 4
Cellular services can be further divided into two categories: Global System for Mobile
Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). The GSM sector is
dominated by Airtel, Vodfone-Hutch, and Idea Cellular, while the CDMA sector is dominated by
Reliance and Tata Indicom. Opening up of international and domestic long distance telephony
services are the major growth drivers for cellular industry. Cellular operators get substantial
revenue from these services, and compensate them for reduction in tariffs on airtime, which along
with rental was the main source of revenue. The reduction in tariffs for airtime, national long
distance, international long distance, and handset prices has driven demand.

The telecom sector is also afflicted by a number of restraints. These include:

     •   Sluggish pace of reform process.
     •   Lack of infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas, which makes it difficult to make
         inroads into this market segment as service providers have to incur a huge initial fixed
         cost.
     •   Limited spectrum availability.

But notwithstanding these constraints, telecom sector has undergone a revolution in the past
decade and has played a major part in bridging the rural-urban divide.


                      INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY
The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting up with global
standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated contribution
to nearly 1% to India’s GDP.

The Indian Telecommunication network with 110.01 million connections is the fifth largest in the
world and second largest among the emerging economies in Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing
market in the world and represents unique opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global
scenario. The total subscriber base has grown by 40% in 2005 and has reached 250 million in
2007. The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5 CDMA
operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities, covering 2000
towns across the country
The telecom industry is the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200 million
telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA. With a
growth rate of 45%, Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world.

In 2007, an article by Businessweek magazine reported that India's mobile phone market is the
fastest growing in the world, with companies adding some 6 million new customers a month.

                                                 5
Liberalized policies have ensured lower tariffs and reduced roaming rentals. This will lead to
increased usage of mobile phones. Mobile telephony can be further categorized into WLL,
CDMA, GSM and 3G.

Mobile telephony provides services such as messaging- text and multimedia- mobile commerce
through GPRS enabled mobile Internet, with local calls and long distance calls- national and
international.
Not only service providers but also equipment manufacturers are contributing towards the growth
of the sector. Mobile telephony started up with bulky handsets and has now reached to smart
phones with cameras, radio facility and lots of other multimedia applications. Also, PDAs have
entered   Indian   markets    with    operating       systems   that   make   it   a   pocket   PC.
Although India's tele-density has improved from under 4% in March 2001 to over 35% by the
end of January 2009, we are still way behind other developing nations. Cellular telephony has
emerged as the fastest growing segment in the Indian telecom industry. The mobile subscriber
base (GSM and CDMA combined) has grown from under 2 m at the end of FY00 to touch 362 m
at the end of January 2009. Tariff reduction and decline in handset costs has helped to boom.




                                  INDUSTRY SIZE

   •   The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting upwith
       global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated
       contribution of nearly 1% to India’s GDP.


   •   FY09 saw the continuance of strong growth for the Indian telecom market, which
       witnessed a 46% YoY increase in its subscriber base during the 12-month period. At the
       end of January 2009, the country’s total telecom subscriber base (fixed plus mobile) stood
       at 400 million. Tele density crossed the 35% mark by the end of the fiscal.




                                                  6
•   Growth remained robust in the GSM mobile space, with the same growing its subscriber
    base by 71 m, thus contributing to 76% of the total incremental subscriber addition for the
    entire Indian telecom market. After a strong 75% YoY increase in subscriptions during
    FY07, the GSM industry recorded another good performance during FY08, growing
    subscriber base by 59% YoY to over 192 m.

•   During FY08, India's mobile subscriber base grew by 58% YoY, from 165 m to 261 m,
    while the fixed subscriber base declined by 3%, from 40.8 m to 39 m.

•   The year also saw a strong 67% YoY rise in the Internet broadband subscriber base.
    Currently, the base stands at around 4 m users, as against 1.4 m at the end of March 2007.

                                             7
GROWTH PROSPECTS
As far as the fixed line business goes, the low penetration levels in the country and the increasing
demand for data based services such as the Internet will act as major catalysts in the growth of
this segment, which had a subscriber base of over 39 m at the end of FY08. The huge market
share of public sector behemoths, MTNL and BSNL is likely to get reduced further as the
penetration by private players spreads. In spite of this the PSUs will continue to retain their
dominant position this is on account of high capital investments required in setting up a nation
wide network. As a result, the private sector players will have to rely on key business centers and
pockets of high urbanization for their growth.

Increasing choice and one of the lowest tariffs in the world have made the cellular services an
attractive proposition for the average consumer. The segment’s subscriber base has grown by
over 57% YoY in FY08. Policy measures like lowering of taxes on the cellular industry and
benefits of enhanced FDI limits shall further the prospects of the cellular industry.

The International Long Distance (ILD) telephony business is expected to witness increased
competition with the entry of private players. Already, private players like Bharti, Reliance and
Data Access have started providing ILD services and this has pulled the tariffs significantly
down. Although increased competition will result in depressed revenues in the near term, low
tariffs would ultimately result in increased volumes and higher usage.

SWOT ANALYSIS FOR BHARTI AIRTEL LIMITED


STRENGTH

   •   Bharti Airtel has around 88 million customers (Jan 2009). It is the largest cellular
       provider in India, and also supplies broadband and telephone services - as well as many
       other telecommunications services to both domestic and corporate customers.

   •   Other stakeholders in Bharti Airtel include Sony-Ericsson, Nokia - and Sing Tel, with
       whom they hold a strategic alliance. This means that the business has access to
       knowledge and technology from other parts of the telecommunications world.

   •   The company has covered the entire Indian nation with its network. This has underpinned
       its large and rising customer base.

                                               13
WEAKNESSES

  •   An often cited original weakness is that when the business was started by Sunil Bharti
      Mittal over 15 years ago, the business had little knowledge and experience of how a
      cellular telephone system actually worked. So the start-up business had to be outsource to
      industry experts in the field.

  •   Until recently Airtel did not own its own towers, which was a particular strength of some
      of its competitors such as Hutchison Essar. Towers are important if your company wishes
      to provide wide coverage nationally.

  •   The fact that Airtel has not pulled off a deal with South Africa's MTN could signal the
      lack of any real emerging market investment opportunity for the business once the Indian
      market has become mature.

OPPORTUNITIES

  •   The company possesses a customized version of the Google search engine which will
      enhance broadband services to customers. The tie-up with Google can only enhance the
      Airtel brand, and also provide advertising opportunities for Google in India.

  •   Global telecommunications and new technology brands see Airtel as a key strategic
      player in the Indian market. The iPhone has been launched in India via an Airtel
      distributorship. Another strategic partnership is held with BlackBerry Wireless Solutions.

  •   Despite being forced to outsource much of its technical operations in the early days, this
      allowed Airtel to work from its own blank sheet of paper, and to question industry
      approaches and practices - for example replacing the Revenue-Per-Customer model with
      a Revenue-Per-Minute model which is better suited to India, as the company moved into
      small and remote villages and towns.

  •   The company is investing in its operation in 120,000 to 160,000 small villages every year.
      The business benefits are scalable - using its 'Matchbox' strategy.

  •   Bharti Airtel is embarking on another joint venture with Vodafone Essar and Idea Cellular
      to create a new independent tower company called Indus Towers. This new business will
                                               14
control more than 60% of India's network towers. IPTV is another potential new service
      that could underpin the company's long-term strategy.

THREATS

  •   Airtel and Vodafone seem to be having an on/off relationship. Vodafone which owned a
      5.6% stake in the Airtel business sold it back to Airtel, and instead invested in its rival
      Hutchison Essar. Knowledge and technology previously available to Airtel now moves
      into the hands of one of its competitors.

  •   The quickly changing pace of the global telecommunications industry could tempt Airtel
      to go along the acquisition trail which may make it vulnerable in times of recession.

  •   Bharti Airtel could also be the target for the takeover vision of other global
      telecommunications players that wish to move into the Indian market.

Problem Definition
For successful Employee engagement activities an organization needs whole hearted participation
and believe of its employees. They need to be constantly educated & motivated so as to increase
their belief that employees are the backbone of the company. It has to be ingrained in the minds
of the employees that companies also take care of the learning and development of the
employees.

The problem on which I was working is to get a larger picture of the feedback of the training
programs given to the employees and their learning & development programs designed and the
process for the same.

In this age of cut throat competition employees in the private sector have a very busy schedule.
Keeping this in mind we tried to find out the training needs of employees with the help of tool

                                              26
known as TNI, and willingness of employees towards participation in these training programs
initiatives so that concerned people in HR department can formulate programs according to the
views and time constraints of employees.




OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:

           1) To conduct a detailed TNI of the employees

           2) To analyze the training feedback forms filled up by the employee

           3) To prepare a list of training programs being conducted by top institutes in the year
               2009-10, so as to expose Airtel employees to them.

           4) To be able to propose a training calendar for the employees, basis the TNI,
               institute’s calendar and the analysis of the feedback forms.

In Airtel Training is provided based on the band level of the employees.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Introduction

Engagement at work was conceptualized by Kahn, (1990) as the ‘harnessing of
organizational members’ selves to their work roles. In engagement, people employ and
express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances.
The second related construct to engagement in organizational behavior is the notion of
flow advanced by Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990). Csikzentmihalyi (1975) defines flow as
the ‘holistic sensation’ that, people feel when they act with total involvement. Flow is
the state in which there is little distinction between the self and environment. When
individuals are in Flow State little conscious control is necessary for their actions.
Employee engagement is the thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee
has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business
context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit
of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement,
which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.’ Thus Employee
engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the
organization
Engagement is most closely associated with the existing construction of job involvement
(Brown 1996) and flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Job involvement is defined as ‘the
degree to which the job situation is central to the person and his or her identity (Lawler &
Hall, 1970). Kanungo (1982) maintained that job involvement is a ‘Cognitive or belief
state of Psychological identification. Job involvement is thought to depend on both need
saliency and the potential of a job to satisfy these needs. Thus job involvement results


                                                28
form a cognitive judgment about the needs satisfying abilities of the job. Jobs in this view
are tied to one’s self image. Engagement differs from job in as it is concerned more with
how the individual employees his/her self during the performance of his / her job.
Furthermore engagement entails the active use of emotions. Finally engagement may be
thought of as an antecedent to job involvement in that individuals who experience deep
engagement in their roles should come to identify with their jobs.



When Kahn talked about employee engagement he has given important to all three
aspects physically, cognitively and emotionally. Whereas in job satisfaction importance
has been more given to cognitive side.
HR practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how
employee feels about the about work experience and how he or she is treated in the
organization. It has a lot to do with emotions which are fundamentally related to drive
bottom line success in a company. There will always be people who never give their best
efforts no matter how hard HR and line managers try to engage them. “But for the most
part employees want to commit to companies because doing so satisfies a powerful and a
basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant”.


Aspects of Employee Engagement
Three basic aspects of employee engagement according to the global studies are:-
   • The employees and their own unique psychological make up and experience.
   • The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee
   • Engagement.
   • Interaction between employees at all levels.
Thus it is largely the organization’s responsibility to create an environment and culture
conducive to this partnership, and a win-win equation.


Categories of Employee Engagement
According to the Gallup the Consulting organization there are there are different types of
people:-
Engaged--"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired
expectations for their role so they can meet and exceed them. They're naturally curious
about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They
want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and
they drive innovation and move their organization forward


Not Engaged---Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals
and outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so
they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs.
achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions
are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way
because they don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their

                                                29
coworkers.

Actively Disengaged--The "actively disengaged" employees are the "cave dwellers."
They're "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work;
they're busy acting out their unhappiness .They sow seeds of negativity at every
opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged
coworkers accomplish. As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products
and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can
cause great damage to an organization's functioning.


Importance of Engagement

Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or
alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation
(Aktouf). Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones
works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be
estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972) .Other Research using a different resource of
engagement (involvement and enthusiasm) has linked it to such variables as employee
turnover, customer satisfaction – loyalty, safety and to a lesser degree, productivity and
profitability criteria (Harter, Schnidt & Hayes, 2002).

An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related to its
ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. Some of the
advantages of Engaged employees are:-
    • Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company
    • and its products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success.
    • They will normally perform better and are more motivated.
    • There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability.
    • They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude
    • towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and
    • service levels
    • It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies
    • and goals
    • Increases employees’ trust in the organization
    • Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment
    • Provides a high-energy working environment
    • Boosts business growth
    • Makes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the company

A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. In the
workplace research on employee engagement (Harter, Schmidt & Hayes, 2002) have
repeatedly asked employees ‘whether they have the opportunity to do what they do best
everyday’. While one in five employees strongly agree with this statement. Those work
units scoring higher on this perception have substantially higher performance.
Thus employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued

                                                30
employees. The Watson Wyatt consulting companies has been proved that there is an
intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability. As
organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working
environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with
organizational identity.

Factors Leading to Employee Engagement-
Studies have shown that there are some critical factors which lead to Employee
engagement. Some of them identified are

Training Need Identification

 Introduction
Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational courses or activities
should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Here the focus should be
placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a constructive outcome. In order to
emphasize the importance of training need identification we can focus on the following areas: -

   •   To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line.
   •   To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her
       job performance.
   •   To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring about a
       match between individual aspirations and organizational goals.

 Identification of training needs (ITN), if done properly, provides the basis on which all other
 training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is a process
that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is important to them, and the
reputation of the organization is also at stake.
Identification of training needs is important from both the organizational point of view as well as
from an individual's point of view. From an organization’s point of view it is important because
an organization has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all stakeholders or
members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbors. These objectives
can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities of its people, releasing potential and
maximizing opportunities for development. Therefore people must know what they need to learn
in order to achieve organizational goals. Similarly if seen from an individual's point of view,
people have aspirations, they want to develop and in order to learn and use new abilities, and
people need appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions. Therefore, to meet people's
aspirations, the organization must provide effective and attractive learning resources and
conditions. And it is also important to see that there is a suitable match between achieving
organizational goals and providing attractive learning opportunities.




Different Levels at which it is to be Conducted

                                                 32
Identification of training needs can be done at three levels to ascertain three kinds of needs: -

Organizational Needs
These concerns the performance of the organization as a whole. Here identification of training
needs is done to find out whether the organization is meeting its current performance standards
and objectives and if not, exploring ways in which training or learning might help it to do so.
Sometimes organizational training needs are also identified when the organization decides that it
has to adopt a major new strategy, create a new product or service, undergo a large-scale change
program, or develop significant new relationships, such as joining with others to form new
partnerships.
Group Needs
Since working in groups and teams have become very much prevalent in today's corporate world
that is why nowadays there is increased emphasis given on team effectiveness and team
performance. So training needs are nowadays even identified at the group level. Training needs
here are concerned basically with the performance of a particular group, which may be a team,
department, function, sub-unit, or so on. Information about this groups performance may identify
areas of need - which, again, may be for training or other interventions. It is used to find out how
efficiently a particular team or group goes about its business and meets its current objectives.

Individual Needs
These concern the performance of one or more individuals (as individuals, rather than as
members of a group). Here identification of training needs is about finding out to what extent
individuals need to learn or be trained in order to bring their current performance up to the
required level as a result of changes in methods and processes that call for new competencies and
skills.
 It also sees to it that there is continuous improvement initiative taken by them. Moreover it also
 helps to find out whether individuals are comfortable in working across boundaries, with people
 from different backgrounds and different perspectives. This is especially important because
there is so much work force diversity observed today in        organizations that it has become
impossible to retain workforce, which is not flexible enough to accommodate such changes into
their daily work schedule.

 Sources for Identifying Training Needs
There are three sources for identifying training needs. Although they are independent sources for
gathering the necessary data but it is usually beneficial if they are considered complementary to
one another as the objective of the exercise is to prepare as consolidated data of training needs as
possible. The three sources are as follows: -

p Job Profile
It is a comprehensive description of all the functions and the responsibilities that a person has to
carry out in due course of his job. It is very common for us sometimes to find that people of a
particular department more or less perform the same kind of job and therefore a comparative
study can be done on their performance to pinpoint on the training needs of those people who
have not performed up to the mark. In here we can also include Job analysis in order to have a
realistic and systematic appraisal of training needs. In order to do this first we need to break up
the functions and responsibilities into categories. Next we have to classify these tasks/activities
on the basis of their relative importance to the nature of the job. And lastly we can compute a

                                                 33
priority listing of these tasks in order to have a catalogue of knowledge, skills and attitudes
required for effective performance of the job.
r Experiences of the training agency
It is very common for organizations nowadays to hire professional training agencies in order to
look into the training matters. The training agency and the trainers thus should also draw from
their own experiences of organizing programs for comparable groups or in similar areas.
 However, earlier experiences can only serve to facilitate the process. It cannot be the sole basis,
 as training needs of majority of organizations are very specific.

a Pre-training survey of the participant's needs
This is suggested as the best way to conduct a training need identification .A pre-training survey
is nothing but a survey of the needs and expectations of the participants well in advance of the
program. And in this exercise it is better to include the superiors also as they are in a good
position to provide necessary data on the training needs of their associates, especially in context
of their performance. This is generally done in a systematic manner with the help of a structured
questionnaire in order to reflect the genuine desire to involve the participants and the
organization in the planning process. However it might happen in certain cases that it is not
possible to actively involve the superiors due to various reasons like lack of time etc but in that
case at least they must be kept fully informed of the proceedings.

 Overall Process in Brief
Step 1: Define and chart part of the organization in which the work has to be done. It is to have a
focused approach of the study. It could either be a particular department, a section, a unit, a
specific group or a staff category.
Step 2: Use various data collection measures to collect both qualitative as well as quantitative
data.
Step 3: Analyze the entire data collected in order to find out causes of problem areas and
prioritize areas, which need immediate attention.
Step 4: Prioritize the different training programs according to the responses collected.
Step 5: Record and file the entire data so that it can be used for future reference while designing
the training programs / training calendar.


    Benefits of Needs Assessment

•   As pointed above needs assessment helps diagnose the causes of performance deficiency in
    employees that require remedial actions. This being a generalized statement there are certain
    specific benefits of needs assessment. They are as follows: -
    • The organization is informed about the broader needs of the participants. Through this
       process it may be possible that certain new training programs, which were, previously not
       in their list may come to the forefront.
    • The organization is able to reduce the perception gap between the participant and his/her
       boss about their needs and expectations from the training program.
    • The organization is also able to pitch its course input closer to the specific needs of the
       participants.



                                                 34
•   It also saves a lot of money for the organization as otherwise money is just unnecessarily
       wasted on those training programs, which are either not needed by the employees or they
       have no interest in undertaking them.
   •   Lastly, time, which is the most important resource today, is also saved, as the training
       programs conducted are the ones, which are actually needed by the participants.




                        Learning and Development
Learning and development is concerned with the training of all the employees for their overall
development which helps them to achieve their goals in an efficient and effective manner which
further helps them to achieve organizational goals.

Developmental Action Plan (DAP)

   •   DAP takes place quarterly according to the calendar year.
   •   It covers all the employees of all the departments.
   •   Self assessment takes place in the month of Jan-Feb
   •   Employees give their suggestions to the Reporting Manager about the areas they are
       lacking in, which in turn affects their performance.
   •   The employees do self assessment and the reporting managers also do the assessment of
       the employees working under their supervision.
   •   Analysis of this data is done so as to know which training program is suitable for him.
   •   A training program list is issued, where people select their training program in two ways:
            Manually (more effective)
            Online
   •   A list of 30 training program is prepared and employees volunteer themselves for a
       particular training session as mentioned in the list.
   •   Calendars are prepared quarterly and the organization tries to cover all the needs of the
       employees through training programs
   •   Institutional calendar is reviewed and the programs are sorted as per their band levels.
   •   After sorting at the band level. It is checked which training program has the maximum
       number of people applying for the program.
   •   Bharti has its own (BLS) Bharti Learning services which provides customized trainings to
       Bharti circles.

Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated contribution to nearly 1% to India’s GDP. The Indian Telecommunication network with 110.01 million connections is the fifth largest in the world and second largest among the emerging economies in Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing market in the world and represents unique opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global scenario. The total subscriber base has grown by 40% in 2005 and has reached 250 million in 2007. The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5 CDMA operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities, covering 2000 towns across the country The telecom industry is the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200 million telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA. With a growth rate of 45%, Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world. 3
  • 4. HISTORY History of Indian Telecommunications started in 1851 when the first operational land lines were laid by the government near Calcutta (seat of British power). Telephone services were introduced in India in 1881. In 1883 telephone services were merged with the postal system. Indian Radio Telegraph Company (IRT) was formed in 1923. After independence in 1947, all the foreign telecommunication companies were nationalized to form the Posts, Telephone and Telegraph (PTT), a monopoly run by the government's Ministry of Communications. Telecom sector was considered as a strategic service and the government considered it best to bring under state's control. The first wind of reforms in telecommunications sector began to flow in 1980s when the private sector was allowed in telecommunications equipment manufacturing. In 1985, Department of Telecommunications (DOT) was established. It was an exclusive provider of domestic and long- distance service that would be its own regulator (separate from the postal system). In 1986, two wholly government-owned companies were created: the Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited (VSNL) for international telecommunications and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) for service in metropolitan areas. In 1990s, telecommunications sector benefited from the general opening up of the economy. Also, examples of telecom revolution in many other countries, which resulted in better quality of service and lower tariffs, led Indian policy makers to initiate a change process finally resulting in opening up of telecom services sector for the private sector. National Telecom Policy (NTP) 1994 was the first attempt to give a comprehensive roadmap for the Indian telecommunications sector. In 1997, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) was created. TRAI was formed to act as a regulator to facilitate the growth of the telecom sector. New National Telecom Policy was adopted in 1999 and cellular services were also launched in the same year. Telecommunication sector in India can be divided into two segments: Fixed Service Provider (FSPs), and Cellular Services. Fixed line services consist of basic services, national or domestic long distance and international long distance services. The state operators (BSNL and MTNL), account for almost 90 per cent of revenues from basic services. Private sector services are presently available in selective urban areas, and collectively account for less than 5 per cent of subscriptions. However, private services focus on the business/corporate sector, and offer reliable, high- end services, such as leased lines, ISDN, closed user group and videoconferencing. 4
  • 5. Cellular services can be further divided into two categories: Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). The GSM sector is dominated by Airtel, Vodfone-Hutch, and Idea Cellular, while the CDMA sector is dominated by Reliance and Tata Indicom. Opening up of international and domestic long distance telephony services are the major growth drivers for cellular industry. Cellular operators get substantial revenue from these services, and compensate them for reduction in tariffs on airtime, which along with rental was the main source of revenue. The reduction in tariffs for airtime, national long distance, international long distance, and handset prices has driven demand. The telecom sector is also afflicted by a number of restraints. These include: • Sluggish pace of reform process. • Lack of infrastructure in semi-rural and rural areas, which makes it difficult to make inroads into this market segment as service providers have to incur a huge initial fixed cost. • Limited spectrum availability. But notwithstanding these constraints, telecom sector has undergone a revolution in the past decade and has played a major part in bridging the rural-urban divide. INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting up with global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated contribution to nearly 1% to India’s GDP. The Indian Telecommunication network with 110.01 million connections is the fifth largest in the world and second largest among the emerging economies in Asia. Today, it is the fastest growing market in the world and represents unique opportunities for U.S. companies in the stagnant global scenario. The total subscriber base has grown by 40% in 2005 and has reached 250 million in 2007. The wireless technologies currently in use are Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). There are primarily 9 GSM and 5 CDMA operators providing mobile services in 19 telecom circles and 4 metro cities, covering 2000 towns across the country The telecom industry is the fastest growing industries in India. India has nearly 200 million telephone lines making it the third largest network in the world after China and USA. With a growth rate of 45%, Indian telecom industry has the highest growth rate in the world. In 2007, an article by Businessweek magazine reported that India's mobile phone market is the fastest growing in the world, with companies adding some 6 million new customers a month. 5
  • 6. Liberalized policies have ensured lower tariffs and reduced roaming rentals. This will lead to increased usage of mobile phones. Mobile telephony can be further categorized into WLL, CDMA, GSM and 3G. Mobile telephony provides services such as messaging- text and multimedia- mobile commerce through GPRS enabled mobile Internet, with local calls and long distance calls- national and international. Not only service providers but also equipment manufacturers are contributing towards the growth of the sector. Mobile telephony started up with bulky handsets and has now reached to smart phones with cameras, radio facility and lots of other multimedia applications. Also, PDAs have entered Indian markets with operating systems that make it a pocket PC. Although India's tele-density has improved from under 4% in March 2001 to over 35% by the end of January 2009, we are still way behind other developing nations. Cellular telephony has emerged as the fastest growing segment in the Indian telecom industry. The mobile subscriber base (GSM and CDMA combined) has grown from under 2 m at the end of FY00 to touch 362 m at the end of January 2009. Tariff reduction and decline in handset costs has helped to boom. INDUSTRY SIZE • The telecom network in India is the fifth largest network in the world meeting upwith global standards. Presently, the Indian telecom industry is currently slated to an estimated contribution of nearly 1% to India’s GDP. • FY09 saw the continuance of strong growth for the Indian telecom market, which witnessed a 46% YoY increase in its subscriber base during the 12-month period. At the end of January 2009, the country’s total telecom subscriber base (fixed plus mobile) stood at 400 million. Tele density crossed the 35% mark by the end of the fiscal. 6
  • 7. Growth remained robust in the GSM mobile space, with the same growing its subscriber base by 71 m, thus contributing to 76% of the total incremental subscriber addition for the entire Indian telecom market. After a strong 75% YoY increase in subscriptions during FY07, the GSM industry recorded another good performance during FY08, growing subscriber base by 59% YoY to over 192 m. • During FY08, India's mobile subscriber base grew by 58% YoY, from 165 m to 261 m, while the fixed subscriber base declined by 3%, from 40.8 m to 39 m. • The year also saw a strong 67% YoY rise in the Internet broadband subscriber base. Currently, the base stands at around 4 m users, as against 1.4 m at the end of March 2007. SUBSCRIBER GROWTH TREND 7
  • 8. GROWTH PROSPECTS As far as the fixed line business goes, the low penetration levels in the country and the increasing demand for data based services such as the Internet will act as major catalysts in the growth of this segment, which had a subscriber base of over 39 m at the end of FY08. The huge market share of public sector behemoths, MTNL and BSNL is likely to get reduced further as the penetration by private players spreads. In spite of this the PSUs will continue to retain their dominant position this is on account of high capital investments required in setting up a nation wide network. As a result, the private sector players will have to rely on key business centers and pockets of high urbanization for their growth. Increasing choice and one of the lowest tariffs in the world have made the cellular services an attractive proposition for the average consumer. The segment’s subscriber base has grown by over 57% YoY in FY08. Policy measures like lowering of taxes on the cellular industry and benefits of enhanced FDI limits shall further the prospects of the cellular industry. The International Long Distance (ILD) telephony business is expected to witness increased competition with the entry of private players. Already, private players like Bharti, Reliance and Data Access have started providing ILD services and this has pulled the tariffs significantly down. Although increased competition will result in depressed revenues in the near term, low tariffs would ultimately result in increased volumes and higher usage.

  • 9. GROWTH DRIVERS • Vast geographic expanse of India acts as a catalyst to boost mobility • Low call costs since 2002 has fueled the wireless segment • Narrowing gap of call costs between fixed and wireless convinced customers to subscribe to wireless connections • Nationwide roaming facilities on GSM • SMS facility • Internet + Subscription bundling • Reduced cost of handsets (affordability factor) • Customs duties have been reduced from 10% to 5% • In remote areas where providing fixed line connections was difficult, wireless did the magic 9
  • 10. SWOT ANALYSIS FOR INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY MAJOR PLAYERS There are three types of players in telecom services: • -State owned companies (BSNL and MTNL) • -Private Indian owned companies (Reliance Infocomm, Tata Teleservices,) • -Foreign invested companies (Hutchison-Essar, Bharti Tele-Ventures, Escotel, Idea Cellular, BPL Mobile, Spice Communications) 10
  • 11. BSNL On October 1, 2000 the Department of Telecom Operations, Government of India became a corporation and was renamed Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL). BSNL is now India’s leading telecommunications company and the largest public sector undertaking. It has a network of over 45 million lines covering 5000 towns with over 35 million telephone connections. MTNL MTNL was set up on 1st April 1986 by the Government of India to upgrade the quality of telecom services, expand the telecom network, and introduce new services to raise revenue for telecom development. TATA TELESERVICES Tata Teleservices is a part of the $12 billion Tata Group, which has 93 companies, over 200,000 employees and more than 2.3 million shareholders. Tata Teleservices provides basic (fixed line services), using CDMA technology in six circles: Maharashtra (including Mumbai), New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Karnataka. It has over 800,000 subscribers. RELIANCE INFOCOMM It is also an integrated telecom service provider with licenses for mobile, fixed, domestic long distance and international services. Reliance Infocomm offers a complete range of telecom services, covering mobile and fixed line telephony including broadband, national and international long distance services, data services and a wide range of value added services and applications. BHARTI Established in 1985, Bharti has been a pioneering force in the telecom sector, being the first mobile service in Delhi, first private basic telephone service provider in the country, first Indian company to provide comprehensive telecom services outside India and first private sector service provider to launch National Long Distance Services in India. Bharti Tele-Ventures Limited was incorporated on July 7, 1995 for promoting investments in telecommunications services.. Bharti’s operations are broadly handled by two companies: the Mobility group, which handles the mobile services in 16 circles out of a total 23 circles across the country; and the Infotel group, which handles the fixed line, broadband, data, and satellite-based services. The company has a total customer base of 6.45 million, of which 5.86 million are mobile and 588,000 fixed line customers. 11

  • 13. ABOUT BHARTI AIRTEL Bharti Airtel is one of India's leading providers of telecommunication services with a nationwide presence in all the 23 licensed jurisdictions (also known as Telecom Circles). The company served an aggregate of 88,270,194 customers as of December 31, 2008; of which 85,650,733 subscribe to their GSM services and 2,619,461 use their Telemedia Services either for voice and/ or broadband access delivered through DSL. The company is the largest wireless service provider in the country, based on the number of subscribers as of December 31, 2008. The company also offers an integrated suite of telecom solutions to their enterprise customers, in addition to providing long distance connectivity both nationally and internationally. It has recently forayed into media by launching their DTH and IPTV Services. All these services are rendered under a unified brand "Airtel". The company also deploys, owns and manages passive infrastructure pertaining to telecom operations under its subsidiary Bharti Infratel Limited. Bharti Infratel owns 42% of Indus Towers Limited.Bharti Infratel and Indus Towers are the two top providers of passive infrastructure services in India.Company shares are listed on The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) and The National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE). SWOT ANALYSIS FOR BHARTI AIRTEL LIMITED STRENGTH • Bharti Airtel has around 88 million customers (Jan 2009). It is the largest cellular provider in India, and also supplies broadband and telephone services - as well as many other telecommunications services to both domestic and corporate customers. • Other stakeholders in Bharti Airtel include Sony-Ericsson, Nokia - and Sing Tel, with whom they hold a strategic alliance. This means that the business has access to knowledge and technology from other parts of the telecommunications world. • The company has covered the entire Indian nation with its network. This has underpinned its large and rising customer base. 13
  • 14. WEAKNESSES • An often cited original weakness is that when the business was started by Sunil Bharti Mittal over 15 years ago, the business had little knowledge and experience of how a cellular telephone system actually worked. So the start-up business had to be outsource to industry experts in the field. • Until recently Airtel did not own its own towers, which was a particular strength of some of its competitors such as Hutchison Essar. Towers are important if your company wishes to provide wide coverage nationally. • The fact that Airtel has not pulled off a deal with South Africa's MTN could signal the lack of any real emerging market investment opportunity for the business once the Indian market has become mature. OPPORTUNITIES • The company possesses a customized version of the Google search engine which will enhance broadband services to customers. The tie-up with Google can only enhance the Airtel brand, and also provide advertising opportunities for Google in India. • Global telecommunications and new technology brands see Airtel as a key strategic player in the Indian market. The iPhone has been launched in India via an Airtel distributorship. Another strategic partnership is held with BlackBerry Wireless Solutions. • Despite being forced to outsource much of its technical operations in the early days, this allowed Airtel to work from its own blank sheet of paper, and to question industry approaches and practices - for example replacing the Revenue-Per-Customer model with a Revenue-Per-Minute model which is better suited to India, as the company moved into small and remote villages and towns. • The company is investing in its operation in 120,000 to 160,000 small villages every year. The business benefits are scalable - using its 'Matchbox' strategy. • Bharti Airtel is embarking on another joint venture with Vodafone Essar and Idea Cellular to create a new independent tower company called Indus Towers. This new business will 14
  • 15. control more than 60% of India's network towers. IPTV is another potential new service that could underpin the company's long-term strategy. THREATS • Airtel and Vodafone seem to be having an on/off relationship. Vodafone which owned a 5.6% stake in the Airtel business sold it back to Airtel, and instead invested in its rival Hutchison Essar. Knowledge and technology previously available to Airtel now moves into the hands of one of its competitors. • The quickly changing pace of the global telecommunications industry could tempt Airtel to go along the acquisition trail which may make it vulnerable in times of recession. • Bharti Airtel could also be the target for the takeover vision of other global telecommunications players that wish to move into the Indian market. 15

They need to be constantly educated & motivated so as to increase their belief that employees are the backbone of the company. It has to be ingrained in the minds of the employees that companies also take care of the learning and development of the employees. The problem on which I was working is to get a larger picture of the feedback of the training programs given to the employees and their learning & development programs designed and the process for the same. In this age of cut throat competition employees in the private sector have a very busy schedule. Keeping this in mind we tried to find out the training needs of employees with the help of tool 26

  • 28. BAND I Manager Asst. Manager BAND F Sr. Executive Executive EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Introduction Engagement at work was conceptualized by Kahn, (1990) as the ‘harnessing of organizational members’ selves to their work roles. In engagement, people employ and express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances. The second related construct to engagement in organizational behavior is the notion of flow advanced by Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1990). Csikzentmihalyi (1975) defines flow as the ‘holistic sensation’ that, people feel when they act with total involvement. Flow is the state in which there is little distinction between the self and environment. When individuals are in Flow State little conscious control is necessary for their actions. Employee engagement is the thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.’ Thus Employee engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the organization Engagement is most closely associated with the existing construction of job involvement (Brown 1996) and flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1990). Job involvement is defined as ‘the degree to which the job situation is central to the person and his or her identity (Lawler & Hall, 1970). Kanungo (1982) maintained that job involvement is a ‘Cognitive or belief state of Psychological identification. Job involvement is thought to depend on both need saliency and the potential of a job to satisfy these needs. Thus job involvement results 28
  • 29. form a cognitive judgment about the needs satisfying abilities of the job. Jobs in this view are tied to one’s self image. Engagement differs from job in as it is concerned more with how the individual employees his/her self during the performance of his / her job. Furthermore engagement entails the active use of emotions. Finally engagement may be thought of as an antecedent to job involvement in that individuals who experience deep engagement in their roles should come to identify with their jobs. When Kahn talked about employee engagement he has given important to all three aspects physically, cognitively and emotionally. Whereas in job satisfaction importance has been more given to cognitive side. HR practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how employee feels about the about work experience and how he or she is treated in the organization. It has a lot to do with emotions which are fundamentally related to drive bottom line success in a company. There will always be people who never give their best efforts no matter how hard HR and line managers try to engage them. “But for the most part employees want to commit to companies because doing so satisfies a powerful and a basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant”. Aspects of Employee Engagement Three basic aspects of employee engagement according to the global studies are:- • The employees and their own unique psychological make up and experience. • The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee • Engagement. • Interaction between employees at all levels. Thus it is largely the organization’s responsibility to create an environment and culture conducive to this partnership, and a win-win equation. Categories of Employee Engagement According to the Gallup the Consulting organization there are there are different types of people:- Engaged--"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so they can meet and exceed them. They're naturally curious about their company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive innovation and move their organization forward Not Engaged---Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals and outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way because they don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their 29
  • 30. coworkers. Actively Disengaged--The "actively disengaged" employees are the "cave dwellers." They're "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work; they're busy acting out their unhappiness .They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish. As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organization's functioning. Importance of Engagement Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers’ lack of commitment and motivation (Aktouf). Meaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works (Thomas and Velthouse). In such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from their selves (Seeman, 1972) .Other Research using a different resource of engagement (involvement and enthusiasm) has linked it to such variables as employee turnover, customer satisfaction – loyalty, safety and to a lesser degree, productivity and profitability criteria (Harter, Schnidt & Hayes, 2002). An organization’s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. Some of the advantages of Engaged employees are:- • Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company • and its products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success. • They will normally perform better and are more motivated. • There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability. • They form an emotional connection with the company. This impacts their attitude • towards the company’s clients, and thereby improves customer satisfaction and • service levels • It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organization’s strategies • and goals • Increases employees’ trust in the organization • Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment • Provides a high-energy working environment • Boosts business growth • Makes the employees effective brand ambassadors for the company A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. In the workplace research on employee engagement (Harter, Schmidt & Hayes, 2002) have repeatedly asked employees ‘whether they have the opportunity to do what they do best everyday’. While one in five employees strongly agree with this statement. Those work units scoring higher on this perception have substantially higher performance. Thus employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued 30
  • 31. employees. The Watson Wyatt consulting companies has been proved that there is an intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer loyalty, and profitability. As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual working environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to provide them with organizational identity. Factors Leading to Employee Engagement- Studies have shown that there are some critical factors which lead to Employee engagement. Some of them identified are 31
  • 32. Training Need Identification Introduction Training need identification is a tool utilized to identify what educational courses or activities should be provided to employees to improve their work productivity. Here the focus should be placed on needs as opposed to desires of the employees for a constructive outcome. In order to emphasize the importance of training need identification we can focus on the following areas: - • To pinpoint if training will make a difference in productivity and the bottom line. • To decide what specific training each employee needs and what will improve his or her job performance. • To differentiate between the need for training and organizational issues and bring about a match between individual aspirations and organizational goals. Identification of training needs (ITN), if done properly, provides the basis on which all other training activities can be considered. Also requiring careful thought and analysis, it is a process that needs to be carried out with sensitivity as people's learning is important to them, and the reputation of the organization is also at stake. Identification of training needs is important from both the organizational point of view as well as from an individual's point of view. From an organization’s point of view it is important because an organization has objectives that it wants to achieve for the benefit of all stakeholders or members, including owners, employees, customers, suppliers, and neighbors. These objectives can be achieved only through harnessing the abilities of its people, releasing potential and maximizing opportunities for development. Therefore people must know what they need to learn in order to achieve organizational goals. Similarly if seen from an individual's point of view, people have aspirations, they want to develop and in order to learn and use new abilities, and people need appropriate opportunities, resources, and conditions. Therefore, to meet people's aspirations, the organization must provide effective and attractive learning resources and conditions. And it is also important to see that there is a suitable match between achieving organizational goals and providing attractive learning opportunities. Different Levels at which it is to be Conducted 32
  • 33. Identification of training needs can be done at three levels to ascertain three kinds of needs: - Organizational Needs These concerns the performance of the organization as a whole. Here identification of training needs is done to find out whether the organization is meeting its current performance standards and objectives and if not, exploring ways in which training or learning might help it to do so. Sometimes organizational training needs are also identified when the organization decides that it has to adopt a major new strategy, create a new product or service, undergo a large-scale change program, or develop significant new relationships, such as joining with others to form new partnerships. Group Needs Since working in groups and teams have become very much prevalent in today's corporate world that is why nowadays there is increased emphasis given on team effectiveness and team performance. So training needs are nowadays even identified at the group level. Training needs here are concerned basically with the performance of a particular group, which may be a team, department, function, sub-unit, or so on. Information about this groups performance may identify areas of need - which, again, may be for training or other interventions. It is used to find out how efficiently a particular team or group goes about its business and meets its current objectives. Individual Needs These concern the performance of one or more individuals (as individuals, rather than as members of a group). Here identification of training needs is about finding out to what extent individuals need to learn or be trained in order to bring their current performance up to the required level as a result of changes in methods and processes that call for new competencies and skills. It also sees to it that there is continuous improvement initiative taken by them. Moreover it also helps to find out whether individuals are comfortable in working across boundaries, with people from different backgrounds and different perspectives. This is especially important because there is so much work force diversity observed today in organizations that it has become impossible to retain workforce, which is not flexible enough to accommodate such changes into their daily work schedule. Sources for Identifying Training Needs There are three sources for identifying training needs. Although they are independent sources for gathering the necessary data but it is usually beneficial if they are considered complementary to one another as the objective of the exercise is to prepare as consolidated data of training needs as possible. The three sources are as follows: - p Job Profile It is a comprehensive description of all the functions and the responsibilities that a person has to carry out in due course of his job. It is very common for us sometimes to find that people of a particular department more or less perform the same kind of job and therefore a comparative study can be done on their performance to pinpoint on the training needs of those people who have not performed up to the mark. In here we can also include Job analysis in order to have a realistic and systematic appraisal of training needs. In order to do this first we need to break up the functions and responsibilities into categories. Next we have to classify these tasks/activities on the basis of their relative importance to the nature of the job. And lastly we can compute a 33
  • 34. priority listing of these tasks in order to have a catalogue of knowledge, skills and attitudes required for effective performance of the job. r Experiences of the training agency It is very common for organizations nowadays to hire professional training agencies in order to look into the training matters. The training agency and the trainers thus should also draw from their own experiences of organizing programs for comparable groups or in similar areas. However, earlier experiences can only serve to facilitate the process. It cannot be the sole basis, as training needs of majority of organizations are very specific. a Pre-training survey of the participant's needs This is suggested as the best way to conduct a training need identification .A pre-training survey is nothing but a survey of the needs and expectations of the participants well in advance of the program. And in this exercise it is better to include the superiors also as they are in a good position to provide necessary data on the training needs of their associates, especially in context of their performance. This is generally done in a systematic manner with the help of a structured questionnaire in order to reflect the genuine desire to involve the participants and the organization in the planning process. However it might happen in certain cases that it is not possible to actively involve the superiors due to various reasons like lack of time etc but in that case at least they must be kept fully informed of the proceedings. Overall Process in Brief Step 1: Define and chart part of the organization in which the work has to be done. It is to have a focused approach of the study. It could either be a particular department, a section, a unit, a specific group or a staff category. Step 2: Use various data collection measures to collect both qualitative as well as quantitative data. Step 3: Analyze the entire data collected in order to find out causes of problem areas and prioritize areas, which need immediate attention. Step 4: Prioritize the different training programs according to the responses collected. Step 5: Record and file the entire data so that it can be used for future reference while designing the training programs / training calendar. Benefits of Needs Assessment • As pointed above needs assessment helps diagnose the causes of performance deficiency in employees that require remedial actions. This being a generalized statement there are certain specific benefits of needs assessment. They are as follows: - • The organization is informed about the broader needs of the participants. Through this process it may be possible that certain new training programs, which were, previously not in their list may come to the forefront. • The organization is able to reduce the perception gap between the participant and his/her boss about their needs and expectations from the training program. • The organization is also able to pitch its course input closer to the specific needs of the participants. 34
  • 35. It also saves a lot of money for the organization as otherwise money is just unnecessarily wasted on those training programs, which are either not needed by the employees or they have no interest in undertaking them. • Lastly, time, which is the most important resource today, is also saved, as the training programs conducted are the ones, which are actually needed by the participants. Learning and Development Learning and development is concerned with the training of all the employees for their overall development which helps them to achieve their goals in an efficient and effective manner which further helps them to achieve organizational goals. Developmental Action Plan (DAP) • DAP takes place quarterly according to the calendar year. • It covers all the employees of all the departments. • Self assessment takes place in the month of Jan-Feb • Employees give their suggestions to the Reporting Manager about the areas they are lacking in, which in turn affects their performance. • The employees do self assessment and the reporting managers also do the assessment of the employees working under their supervision. • Analysis of this data is done so as to know which training program is suitable for him. • A training program list is issued, where people select their training program in two ways:  Manually (more effective)  Online • A list of 30 training program is prepared and employees volunteer themselves for a particular training session as mentioned in the list. • Calendars are prepared quarterly and the organization tries to cover all the needs of the employees through training programs • Institutional calendar is reviewed and the programs are sorted as per their band levels. • After sorting at the band level. It is checked which training program has the maximum number of people applying for the program. • Bharti has its own (BLS) Bharti Learning services which provides customized trainings to Bharti circles. 35
