The Evaluation of any training program has certain aims to fulfill. These are concerned
with the determination of change in the organizational behavior and the change needed
in the organizational structure.
Hence evaluation of any training program must inform us whether the training program
has been able to deliver the goals and objectives in terms of cost incurred and benefits
achieved.
The analysis of the information is the concluding part of any evaluation program.
The analysis of data should be summarized and then compared with the data of other
training programs similar nature.
On the basis of these comparisons, problems and strength should be identified which
would help the trainer in this future training programs, to stop short of completion of the
training systems design methodology, by avoiding the evaluation ,our training
effectiveness is reneging on ou2r commitment to our employees.
The future requires more precise, reliable evaluation strategies, we like to think of
training effectiveness evaluation in the same way that we think of surveillance tests in the
plant, we perform training effectiveness evaluations to ensure our programs work
effectively.

A. Objective of the study :

   The study aims towards the partial fulfillment of the master of business
   administration. Apart from this the study aims to measure the training effectiveness
   in JSPL , RAIGARH, to detect the strong points underlying the training as well as the
   places that need to be considered for improvement.

B. Scope of the study :

   supervisors under whom those employees perform. The employees views with regard
   to the training program were recorded and similarly the opinions of the supervisors

ABOUT THE FOUNDER & ADVENT OF JSPL




                    BABUJI – “The Man of Destiny”
(1930 – 2005)
“The Jindal Organization owes its brilliant growth to the dedicated endeavors of its
employees. With a strong emphasis on quality and on-time delivery to our customers as
per their specifications, our progressive as well as successful achievements have made
the Jindal Organization a leading name in India.
                                                                     - Late Shri O P Jindal



                                             12
Late Shri Om Prakash Jindal more popularly known as O.P. Jindal was born on August 7,
1930 to a farmer Late Netram Jindal of village Nalwa of district Hisar in Haryana. Since his
childhood the weng Jindal had interested in technical work. He started his industrial
career with a small bucket-manufacturing unit in Hisar. In 1964, he commissioned a Pipe
Unit Jindal India Limited, followed by a large factory in 1969 under the name Jindal Strips
Limited.
Shri Jindal always had the conviction that India should be self-reliant in every sector of
industry. He visited several foreign countries to elicit latest industrial technical
development and know-how. He acquired a great deal of knowledge, which he aptly
applied to enhance production of his industrial establishments. At present, there are
twenty factories under the flagship of the Jindal Organization, which are worth over
Rs.17,500 crores, under whose umbrella thousands of families directly or indirectly
benefit themselves.
Shri O.P. Jindal was the Chairman of the Jindal Organization. In November 2004, Shri
Jindal was conferred the prestigious "Life Time Achievement Award" for his outstanding
contribution to the Indian Steel Industry by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
According to the latest Forbes' List, Shri O.P. Jindal has been ranked 13th amongst the
richest Indians of the country and placed 548th amongst the richest persons of the world.
He was a successful industry visionary and would remain as a role model for others. On
account of his dedicated services to various sections of society particularly, of the poor
and backward classes, he was revered by all. Shri Jindal always advocated for granting a
rightful place for weaker sections in politics. He was above caste politics and wanted all to
come up regardless of their caste, colour and creed. Shri Jindal's philosophy was that
without the upliftment of weaker and backward sections of society our dream of being a
leading nation of the world shall remain unfulfilled. Shri Jindal's mantra was “where
others saw walls he saw doors”. Then whether it was opening doors or breaking down
walls he always led the way. The life journey of Shri Jindal from a farmer's son to a
successful industrialist, a philanthropist, a politician and a leader would serve as a great
source of inspiration for generations to come.

Training practice at JSPL

Training and its process at JSPL for the workers and executives:

As far as worker training need identification is concerned the skill mapping exercise forms the
basis.

With regards to executives training is identified in various ways like :

     1. Competency matrix and the corresponding Gap analysis
     2. Organizational need based training
     3. Need identified through the Performance Management System


                                                   19
4. In line with business strategy of the organization/ request from employees
     5. Training necessitated due to technological up gradation.
     6. Through questionnaire ( to be implemented)

Thereafter the training department goes about its business in the following manner:

     1. Preparation of training calendar (both monthly as well as well on an annual basis)
     2. Contacting the respective faculty members and coordinating with them
     3. Informing respective departments about the training program. In case of open
        nomination the department head is free to send in people from his department on
        his own accord.
     4. The Training and Development cell then has to take care of all the facilities that are
        to be provided with regards to the training program. If the program is an outbound
        one then the entire activity is to be coordinated like-wise.
     5. The Training & Development cell is entrusted with maintenance of attendance
        record of the programs along with collecting immediate reaction feedback with the
        help of ‘smile sheets’.
     6. The entire data in this regard is constantly uploaded on to SAP.
     7. According to company policy a learning evaluation form is sent to the respective
        departmental HOD’s at least two-months after the training program had been
        conducted.
     8. On the basis of the feedback received the program is rated on a scale of 10.


Types Of Training Programs

On the basis of subject matter covered training can be classified into :

     1. Behavioral
     2. Functional
     3. Technical (On the basis of the location it can classified as):
               External training programs (it also includes various seminars, MDP’s etc)
               Internal training programs

Development Program

Every training and development program must address certain vital issues like :

     1.   Who participated in the program?
     2.   Who are the trainers?
     3.   What methods and techniques are to be used for training?
     4.   What should be the level of training?
     5.   What learning principles are needed?
     6.   Where is the program conducted?

    trainees?                         trainers?
                                                                     techniques?



     Where to                             What                       What should
    conduct the                       principles of                 be the level of
     program?                          learning?                      training?



Who are the Trainees?

Trainees should be selected on the basis of self nomination, recommendations of supervisors
or by the HR department itself. Whatever is the basis, it is advisable to have two or more
target audiences. For example, rank-and-file employees and their supervisors may effectively
learn together about a new work process and their respective roles. Bringing several target
audience together can also facilitate group processes such as problem solving and decision
making, elements useful in quality circle projects.

Who are the Trainers?

Training and development programs may be conducted by several people, including the
following:

     1.   Immediate supervisors,
     2.   Co-workers, as in buddy systems,
     3.   Members of the personnel staff,
     4.   Specialists in other parts of the company,
     5.   Outside consultants,
     6.   Industry associations, and
     7.   Faculty members at universities.

Who among these are selected to teach, often, depends on where the program is held and
the skill that is being taught. For example, programs teaching basic skills are usually done by
the members of the HR department or specialists in other departments of the company. On

                                                22
the other hand, interpersonal and conceptual skills for managers are taught at universities.
Large organizations generally maintain their own training departments whose staff conducts
the programs. In addition, many organizations arrange basic-skills training for computer
literacy.


Methods and Techniques of Training:

A multitude of methods of training are used to train employees. On-the-job methods refer to
methods that are applied in the workplace, while the employee is actually working. Off-the-
job methods are used away from workplaces.
Training techniques represent the medium of imparting skills and knowledge to employees.
Obviously, training techniques are the means employed in the training methods. Among the
most commonly used techniques are lectures, films, audio cassettes, case studies, role
playing, video-tapes and simulations.

Lectures:

Lecture is a verbal presentation of information by an instructor to a large audience. The
lecturer is presumed to possess a considerable depth of knowledge of the subject at hand. A
virtue of this method is that is can be used for very large groups, and hence the cost per
trainee is low. This method is mainly used in colleges and universities, though its application
is restricted in training factory employees.



Audio-visual:

Visuals Audio-visuals include television slides, overheads, video-types and films. These can be
used to provide a wide range of realistic examples of job conditions and situations in the
condensed period of time. Further, the quality of the presentation can be controlled and will
remain equal for

Simulation:

A simulator is any kind of equipment or technique that duplicates as nearly as possible the
actual conditions encountered on the job. Simulation then, is an attempt to create a realistic
decision-making environment for the trainee. Simulations present likely problem situation
and alternatives to the trainee. For example, activities of an organization may be simulated
and the trainee may be asked to make a decision in support to those activities.




                                               23
Case Study:

Taken from the actual experiences of organizations, these cases represent to describe, as
accurately as possible, real problems that managers have faced. Trainee studies the cases to
determine problems, analyses causes, develop alternative solutions, select the best one, and
implement it.

Role playing:

Generally focuses on emotional (mainly human relations) issues rather than actual ones. The
essence of role playing is to create a realistic situation, as in case study, and then have the
trainee assume the parts of specific personalities in the situation. For example, a male worker
may assume the role of a female supervisor, and the supervisor may assume the role of a
male worker. Then, both may be given a typical work situation and asked to respond as they
expect others to do. The consequences are a better understanding among individuals. Role
playing helps promote interpersonal relation. Attitude change is another result of role
playing. Case study and role playing are used in MDPs

Expected Results Of Training Program

      Higher Productivity: Training helps to improve the level of Performance. Trained
       employees perform better by using better method of work.
      Better Quality Of Work: In formal training, the best methods are standardized and
       taught to employees perform better by using better method of work.
      Cost Reduction: Trained employees make more economical use of materials and
       machinery. Reduction in wastages and spoilage together with increase in
       productivity help to minimize cost of operation per unit.
      Reduction Supervision: Well-trained employees tend to be self reliant and
       motivated.


Evaluation of Training Effectiveness at JSPL

Every year JSPL sends a large number of its employees on training to update them with all
the recent changes in skills, technologies, and information pertaining to their job. This
involves a huge expenditure every year on the part of the organization. Therefore it
becomes a matter of concern for JSPL to ensure that it is investing in the right direction, that
its employees are actually deriving full benefits out of the training programs so organised
and that the programs are successfully educating the employees in the manner it ought to
and is able to bring change in the knowledge and skills of the employees, which can be
attributed to the program.

JSPL follows the Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model of training. Therefore, I would first like to
discuss Kirkpatrickk’s model.

Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model comprises of four stages :

1. Reaction

The first, stage called reaction deals with the immediate reaction of the employees who just
undergone a training program. This reaction of theirs is recorded through the use of feedback
forms.

2. Learning

Subsequently follows the stage of learning, where any kind of changes pertaining to
employee’s skills, knowledge and attitude are measured. Generally pre-post test measures
are used to check on the learning that has occurred. such measurement of change is


                                               25
important because it gives an indication of the quantum of change that has occurred among
the employees post the training program.

3. Transfer of learning

The third level is one where the application of whatever had been learnt through the program
is measured. Again, for this purpose, questionnaires are used which are in the form of
feedback forms. Various factors such as opportunities for applying the knowledge gained
through the training, enablers and barriers for applying the knowledge, increase in
confidence and improvement in performance are recorded and measured. This is done after a
certain period of time has passed since the training program was conducted. The main
concern is whether the transfer of learning took place and if it did not, then to detect the
possible reasons behind it. It helps the organization recognize the flaws in its system that
possibly pose constraints in the path of application of whatever had been learnt through the
training programs and overcome them to facilitate transfer of learning to the workplace to as
much extent as possible.

4. Results

The final stage in Kirkpatrickk’s model deals with results. In this stage, the effectiveness of
program is measured in terms that managers and executives can understand like increase in
productivity, low defects, employee retention, decreased accidents, lower costs, etc.

The process under Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model takes place in the following manner :




    Level 1 : Reaction              • Did they like it?


    Level 2 : Learning              • Did they learn it?


   Level 3 : Behaviour              • Did they use it?


      Level 4 : Result              • Did it impact the bottom line

                                    • What is the Return on
        Level 5 : ROI
                                      Investment?

                                               26
Relationship between Levels:

       Each subsequent level is predicated upon doing evaluation at lower level
       A Level 3 will be of marginal use, if a Level 2 evaluation is not conducted


Only by assessing each level, can we yield actionable results:




Now, since it is clear as to what the Donald Kirkpatrickk model says, I would like to proceed
with the manner in which training is conducted and evaluated in JSPL.




                                               27
Return on Investment (ROI) in training and development (T&D) is a measure of the monetary
benefits obtained by an organization over a specified time period in return for a given
investment in a training program or is the extent to which the benefits (outputs) of training
exceed the costs (inputs) or is a measure of all the economic returns generated from an
investment in a T&D program. These returns are then compared with the true cost of the
program to determine an average annual rate of return of the investment. All capital assets
need to earn a rate of return for the business to make a profit and stay in business, ROI is
about judging the investment in T&D on similar criteria to other investment in the business.
ROI is the extent to which the benefits (outputs) of training exceed the costs (inputs).

Some returns can be easily measured, such as increase in sales after a sales training program,
but others such as customer/employee satisfaction, turnover rate, and complaint levels
require conversion to a monetary amount. Some costs can also be easily measured, such as
hire of training rooms, however other costs need further analysis to determine, such as the
cost of administration of the T&D department.

The intense focus on performance in public companies has made ROI increasingly important.
The only way to guarantee that projects and programs receive funding is to show how they
boost the bottom line. An ROI evaluation fulfils senior managements requirement to justify
training budgets and investments.

The idea of ROI was first proposed by Jack Phillips. He tried to express in terms of percentage
or ratio & named it as the fifth stage of Kirkpatrickk model. The formula for it is as follows :-

                                  (Net Benefits / Costs) x 100

There was a research conducted and it was found that about $5.6 billion to $16.8 billion is
wasted annually in ineffective training program. A study of 15 countries in the organization
for Economic cooperation and development found that majority of the employees believe
employee training is responsible for “ productive improvements, greater workforce flexibility,
saving on material and capital cost, improved quality of final products or service and a more
motivated workforce”
However, many companies have not measured the benefits and related them to the cost of
training in a way that reveals the rate of return on a firm's investment. Apparently there is no
other workplace issue on which so much money is spent with as little accountability as
training.




                                                28
“American industry is spending billions and billions on training programs and
doing no evaluation of their effectiveness. We have to measure it.”

                                             -Cary Cherniss, Rutgers University

The process of calculating ROI :

To calculate ROI we must first make estimates or obtain measurements of the costs and
benefits associated with a training program. As we will see, the calculation of ROI is then a
relatively simple process. Let's start with the costs forecasting and measuring costs

Design and development costs :

The first category of cost to be considered is the design and development of the training
program, whether this comprises classroom events, self-study materials, simple coaching
sessions or some combination. We will need to consider:

      internal days of design and development
      costs of external designers and developers
      other direct design and development costs (purchase of copyrights, travel, expenses,
      etc.)
      outright purchase of off-the-shelf materials

Faculty costs :

The next category of costs relates to the delivery of the training, whether this is mediated by
faculty (tutors, instructors, coaches, etc.) or is self-administered (workbooks, CBT, online
training, etc.). Let’s start with the information needed to calculate faculty costs:

      the number of students who will be going through the program
      hours of group training (whether classroom-based or delivered in real time, online)
      hours of one-to-one training (typically face-to-face, but could conceivably be conducted
      by telephone, video conferencing link or in real-time, online)
      hours of self-study training
      additional faculty hours (preparation time, the time needed to review or mark
      submitted work or the time needed to correspond by email or bulletin boards with
      online students)
      faculty expenses (travel, accommodation, subsistence, etc.).




                                               29
Materials :

Then there's the cost of materials:

       cost per student of training materials (books, manuals, consumables, etc.)
       license cost per student for use off-the-shelf materials

Facilities :

We will also need to allow for the cost of our training facilities, whether these are internal or
external. Make sure to include the rental or notional internal cost of the following:

       training rooms
       open learning / self-study rooms
       equipment used

Finally, don't forget to include any direct student expenses - travel, accommodation and
subsistence.

Evaluation costs :

We also need to make an allowance for the time spent on evaluating the training, whether
this is an ROI analysis or some other method forecasting and measuring benefits.

The financial benefits of training cannot be measured in terms of student reactions, nor the
amount of learning that has been achieved; not even the extent to which behavior may have
changed. The real benefits come from improved performance – traditionally the hardest
training outcome to forecast or measure these categories are not necessarily mutually
exclusive - in some respects they provide alternative ways of looking at the same underlying
benefit. Because of this, we should be extremely careful not to include the same basic benefit
under more than one of these headings.

Cost savings :

Cost savings can be achieved in a variety of ways, not just through savings in labour, and this
category allows we to take account of these. Examples include:

       fewer machine breakdowns, resulting in lower maintenance costs
       less mean time taken to repair a machine
       amount saved when these trained persons would give internal training to the other
       staff of free of cost
       The increase in the availability of machines


                                                30
New methods of repairing of machines are found, which otherwise would lead to
      purchase of new machinery
      Development of new cost saving methods of production

Calculating return on investment (ROI)

Return on investment tells the percentage return we have made over a specified period as a
result of investing in a training program. On the assumption that benefits will continue to
accrue some time after the training, then the period that we specify is critical to the ROI
figure we will obtain. We may like to specify a period that fits in well with our organisation’s
planning cycle – perhaps a year or two years. On the other hand, we may wish to calculate
the period to correspond to the lifetime of the benefit, in which case we will need to know
how long the average student stays in a position in which they can continue to apply the
knowledge and skills being taught.

It is relatively simple to calculate return on investment:




  % ROI = (benefits / costs) x 100


The primary benefits of ROI are:

The ROI validates training as a business tool , training is seen as one of the actions, which an
organization can take to increase its performance and profits:

      Justifies the cost incurred in training helps HR departments to avoid being the victim of
      cost-cutting in the next economic downturn
      Helps to improve the design of training program continuously on the basis of a formal
      evaluation sheet , filled by participants at the end of a program


                                                 31
Helps select training methods allows a rational selection of delivery mechanisms, from
     classroom-based to e-learning

    Analysis of Level – 2(Learning)


   This level of ” Kirkpatrick Model” evaluates learning of participants from the training.

   We adopted following parameters to evaluate learning of participants:-

 Pre -training marks and post training marks of participants .
 Knowledge sharing (Giving in house training to subordinates and peers.)
 Structured questionnaires(Filled by HOD and Participants)



   Pre -training marks and post training marks of participants



    For the purpose of level- 2 ,analysis, in order to find out whether learning has taken place or
   not, pre-post test measure was applied.
   Employees were made to take certain tests or assessments on the basis of which their
   knowledge/skill was measured.

   Thereafter, these employees were sent on training and after the completion of the training,
   these employees again had to take the tests. The purpose was to reevaluate the employees
   through the tests, in order to find out whether there has been any increase in their
   knowledge/skills post the program.
   The following table shows the programs concerning which the assessments were taken and
   the learning percentage :

The following graph shows the level of knowledge/skills of the employees before the
programs were conducted, compared against the level of knowledge after the programs were
conducted.

From this, we can come to know that there has been an increment in the average of the post
tests marks, which indicates that learning has taken place among the employees.

The program wise learning ,that took place among the employees can best be demonstrated
with the help of the following graph :

It is clearly visible that the percentage learning took place is significant , hence good leaning
took place, so training were effective.



Learning Evaluation based on Questionnaires (Self Evaluation)

To evaluate learning we present questionnaires to the participants (Which is attached in
annexure) and asked to fill the parameters on the basis of pre-training subject knowledge
and post training subject knowledge. The below mentioned table shows the same for a
training conducted by ABB Ltd. Badodra.

Q3) Was there noticeable and measurable change in the activity and performance of the
trainees when back in their roles?

Analysis:
Performance of the employees has increased , according to the supervisors the average
increase in the level of performance exceeded the expectation and they rated 8.6(10), hence
training program has been justified.

Q4) Was the change in behaviour and new level of knowledge sustained ?

Analysis:
Yes, supervisors rated 7.6(10) , hence supervisors acknowledged and liked the change in
behavior of participants and their knowledge sustenance

Q5. Is the trainee aware of his /her change in behavior , knowledge ,skill level ?

Analysis:
Confidence of the employees are a serious concern as it can be judged from the above graph
of knowledge/skill level, which are deriver of performance of the employees has been rated
well(7.8).


Q6) Would you recommend a similar training for other employees?

Analysis:
As we observed that overall rating is 8.2(10), it means supervisors are satisfied with such
types of training program and can suggest to arrange such types of program in near future .



Level-4 (Result)

For the fourth level of Kirkpatrick Model , we took following training program.


 Key technique introduced by Dr. Phillips ‘Isolation’ a major barrier to evaluating the business
impact of training was taken into account and selected only two department for the said
evaluation

Introduction:-

Central CMC is engaged in the Integrated Condition Monitoring of critical Plant machinery
and tries to adopt the latest techniques available in the market for accurate Diagnosis and
trouble shooting. With this objective, it becomes imperative to keep updated with the current
condition monitoring technique and methods followed internationally so as to ensure better
Reliability, Availability and Maintainability of their Machinery. The Training program provide
all the necessary information required for re-defining our existing methods of Condition
Monitoring.

Evaluation Tools of Trainings for CMC Dept.:
Monitoring of overall business performance in terms of

       Measure reduction in number of breakdown, Mean time to repair and breakdown
       hour
       Measure increment in availability of equipments and Mean time between failure
       Cost saving in operation

                                               46
Reduction in number of defects and severity of accidents
       Reduction in time to complete tasks and calls to the help desk
       Improved use of software or system (ex:- SAP model in HR, MM, SD, FI&CO, PM)
       Measure changes in staff turnover, number of complaints, growth, attrition rate,
       waste utilization, failures, non-compliance, quality ratings, achievement of
       standards and accreditations and customer retention

Intangible Benefits

Apart from tangible benefits department also contributed significantly to enhance some

Industrial parameters in combined efforts with other departments.

   1. MTTR(Mean Time to Repair):- This parameter should be minimum ,which means fault
      in machine was quickly corrected and machine came immediately into running state.
   2. MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure):- This parameter shows the time distance
      between two consecutive failures, which should be maximum , so that machine will
      available for work for maximum time.
   3. Availability:- This parameter shows in 24 hrs cycle , how long machine was available
      for work. This parameter should be high , which means machine was available for
      work at maximum time.
   4. Breakdown Hours:- This parameter shows , how long machine was interrupted
      because of fault. This data should be minimum , which means maximum time machine
      was available for work.
   5. No. of Breakdown(Avg.):- This data should be minimum , which means minimum
      numbers of interruption occurs.

Data Interpretation

   1. MTTR:- As mentioned table below , it is clearly seen that in each department ,
      repairing work has done quickly and raised the availability. Combined effort made
      significant enhancement in MTTR

On the overall analysis of the data of all levels, we can conclude that the immediate reaction
rated 8.1 point(scale-10), means the participants were satisfied with all four mentioned i.e
Course, Relevance , Trainer, and Venue.

However the learning was also good in all three parameters i.e Learning index (54.38%) , Self
evaluation (Effective), Knowledge sharing (Effective) .

 Evaluators of change in behavior rated 8.1(10) ,which justified the program expectation. The
reasons that imparted improvement to the performance are increased number of coaching
and feedbacks, better supervision on job by the supervisors, increase in the actual usage of
knowledge/skills gained through the program, and the availability of necessary equipments
and materials for performing on the job.

In the last level of “Kirkpatrick Model” , we saw new initiative by the employees like case
study, New attempt and high ROI(Return on investment)




                                              60
In the course of my study and the analysis that followed thereafter, I came across certain
setbacks in the various levels as well as in the system, regarding whom, I would like to make
the following suggestions :




For level 1:

        The employees should be given sufficient time to study the subject matter of the
        program.
        The study material should be adequate and relevant according to the program.
        More practical example should be given.
        Proper agenda should be made for the program.
        Venue facilities should be enhanced.



For level - 2 :

Proper facilitation of learning should be made and the knowledge/skills of the employees
should be increased.

For level - 3 :

        Confidence of the employees to perform on the job needs to be increased.
        The programs should be made more relevant to the job requirements.
        Opportunities provided to the employees to use the knowledge/skills gained from the
        program needs to be increased.
        Necessary equipments and materials required for the job should be made easily
        available.

For Level- 4

        Each department should be instructed to maintain data based on training impact for
        future reference:-
             Major work done based on training
             Cost saving
             Accident avoided
             New initiative




                                              61
Apart from these, I would like to make the following suggestions, too on increase training’s
effectiveness in JSPL.


1. Each and every individual of the company should be taught what “ Kirkpatrick model” is,
   so that they give genuine feedback when desired.

2. After training program there should be suitable rewarding system for the excellent
   performers and the average and poor performer’s problems should be identified and
   necessary motivation dose and support should be given for their improvement.

3. Training facility should be more job relevant and should be given to those whose job
   profile is related to that particular training program.

4. Sometimes the communication pattern itself becomes an obstacle, so according to
   situations, Hindi should also be used.

5. Apprehensions in the minds of employees restrain them from cooperating with the
   management, proper care should be taken to remove such apprehensions.

    The Evaluation ofany training program has certain aims to fulfill. These are concerned with the determination of change in the organizational behavior and the change needed in the organizational structure. Hence evaluation of any training program must inform us whether the training program has been able to deliver the goals and objectives in terms of cost incurred and benefits achieved. The analysis of the information is the concluding part of any evaluation program. The analysis of data should be summarized and then compared with the data of other training programs similar nature. On the basis of these comparisons, problems and strength should be identified which would help the trainer in this future training programs, to stop short of completion of the training systems design methodology, by avoiding the evaluation ,our training effectiveness is reneging on ou2r commitment to our employees. The future requires more precise, reliable evaluation strategies, we like to think of training effectiveness evaluation in the same way that we think of surveillance tests in the plant, we perform training effectiveness evaluations to ensure our programs work effectively. A. Objective of the study : The study aims towards the partial fulfillment of the master of business administration. Apart from this the study aims to measure the training effectiveness in JSPL , RAIGARH, to detect the strong points underlying the training as well as the places that need to be considered for improvement.

    Late Shri OmPrakash Jindal more popularly known as O.P. Jindal was born on August 7, 1930 to a farmer Late Netram Jindal of village Nalwa of district Hisar in Haryana. Since his childhood the weng Jindal had interested in technical work. He started his industrial career with a small bucket-manufacturing unit in Hisar. In 1964, he commissioned a Pipe Unit Jindal India Limited, followed by a large factory in 1969 under the name Jindal Strips Limited. Shri Jindal always had the conviction that India should be self-reliant in every sector of industry. He visited several foreign countries to elicit latest industrial technical development and know-how. He acquired a great deal of knowledge, which he aptly applied to enhance production of his industrial establishments. At present, there are twenty factories under the flagship of the Jindal Organization, which are worth over Rs.17,500 crores, under whose umbrella thousands of families directly or indirectly benefit themselves. Shri O.P. Jindal was the Chairman of the Jindal Organization. In November 2004, Shri Jindal was conferred the prestigious "Life Time Achievement Award" for his outstanding contribution to the Indian Steel Industry by the Bengal Chamber of Commerce & Industry. According to the latest Forbes' List, Shri O.P. Jindal has been ranked 13th amongst the richest Indians of the country and placed 548th amongst the richest persons of the world. He was a successful industry visionary and would remain as a role model for others. On account of his dedicated services to various sections of society particularly, of the poor and backward classes, he was revered by all. Shri Jindal always advocated for granting a rightful place for weaker sections in politics. He was above caste politics and wanted all to come up regardless of their caste, colour and creed. Shri Jindal's philosophy was that without the upliftment of weaker and backward sections of society our dream of being a leading nation of the world shall remain unfulfilled. Shri Jindal's mantra was “where others saw walls he saw doors”. Then whether it was opening doors or breaking down walls he always led the way. The life journey of Shri Jindal from a farmer's son to a successful industrialist, a philanthropist, a politician and a leader would serve as a great source of inspiration for generations to come. 13

Trainees should be selected on the basis of self nomination, recommendations of supervisors or by the HR department itself. Whatever is the basis, it is advisable to have two or more target audiences. For example, rank-and-file employees and their supervisors may effectively learn together about a new work process and their respective roles. Bringing several target audience together can also facilitate group processes such as problem solving and decision making, elements useful in quality circle projects. Who are the Trainers? Training and development programs may be conducted by several people, including the following: 1. Immediate supervisors, 2. Co-workers, as in buddy systems, 3. Members of the personnel staff, 4. Specialists in other parts of the company, 5. Outside consultants, 6. Industry associations, and 7. Faculty members at universities. Who among these are selected to teach, often, depends on where the program is held and the skill that is being taught. For example, programs teaching basic skills are usually done by the members of the HR department or specialists in other departments of the company. On 22

    the other hand,interpersonal and conceptual skills for managers are taught at universities. Large organizations generally maintain their own training departments whose staff conducts the programs. In addition, many organizations arrange basic-skills training for computer literacy. Methods and Techniques of Training: A multitude of methods of training are used to train employees. On-the-job methods refer to methods that are applied in the workplace, while the employee is actually working. Off-the- job methods are used away from workplaces. Training techniques represent the medium of imparting skills and knowledge to employees. Obviously, training techniques are the means employed in the training methods. Among the most commonly used techniques are lectures, films, audio cassettes, case studies, role playing, video-tapes and simulations. Lectures: Lecture is a verbal presentation of information by an instructor to a large audience. The lecturer is presumed to possess a considerable depth of knowledge of the subject at hand. A virtue of this method is that is can be used for very large groups, and hence the cost per trainee is low. This method is mainly used in colleges and universities, though its application is restricted in training factory employees. Audio-visual: Visuals Audio-visuals include television slides, overheads, video-types and films. These can be used to provide a wide range of realistic examples of job conditions and situations in the condensed period of time. Further, the quality of the presentation can be controlled and will remain equal for Simulation: A simulator is any kind of equipment or technique that duplicates as nearly as possible the actual conditions encountered on the job. Simulation then, is an attempt to create a realistic decision-making environment for the trainee. Simulations present likely problem situation and alternatives to the trainee. For example, activities of an organization may be simulated and the trainee may be asked to make a decision in support to those activities. 23
  • 24.
    Case Study: Taken fromthe actual experiences of organizations, these cases represent to describe, as accurately as possible, real problems that managers have faced. Trainee studies the cases to determine problems, analyses causes, develop alternative solutions, select the best one, and implement it. Role playing: Generally focuses on emotional (mainly human relations) issues rather than actual ones. The essence of role playing is to create a realistic situation, as in case study, and then have the trainee assume the parts of specific personalities in the situation. For example, a male worker may assume the role of a female supervisor, and the supervisor may assume the role of a male worker. Then, both may be given a typical work situation and asked to respond as they expect others to do. The consequences are a better understanding among individuals. Role playing helps promote interpersonal relation. Attitude change is another result of role playing. Case study and role playing are used in MDPs Techniques of Training Technique Description Ice Breakers Games to get team members know each other Leading Games Exercise to each different styles of leadership Skill Games Test to develop analytical skills Communication Games Exercise to build bias free listening and talking Strategic planners Games to test ability to plan ahead Team building games Exercise requiring collaborative effort Role reversal Exercise to teach plurality of view Doubling Bring out the ideas that are not often expressed Tag Teams One role played alternately by two participant Mirroring Training with external perspective Monodrama Insight into a given interaction Shifting physical position highlighting of communication problems Structured role playing Role play with predetermined objective Multiple role playing Providing a common focus of discussion 24

    Expected Results OfTraining Program  Higher Productivity: Training helps to improve the level of Performance. Trained employees perform better by using better method of work.  Better Quality Of Work: In formal training, the best methods are standardized and taught to employees perform better by using better method of work.  Cost Reduction: Trained employees make more economical use of materials and machinery. Reduction in wastages and spoilage together with increase in productivity help to minimize cost of operation per unit.  Reduction Supervision: Well-trained employees tend to be self reliant and motivated. Evaluation of Training Effectiveness at JSPL Every year JSPL sends a large number of its employees on training to update them with all the recent changes in skills, technologies, and information pertaining to their job. This involves a huge expenditure every year on the part of the organization. Therefore it becomes a matter of concern for JSPL to ensure that it is investing in the right direction, that its employees are actually deriving full benefits out of the training programs so organised and that the programs are successfully educating the employees in the manner it ought to and is able to bring change in the knowledge and skills of the employees, which can be attributed to the program. JSPL follows the Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model of training. Therefore, I would first like to discuss Kirkpatrickk’s model. Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model comprises of four stages : 1. Reaction The first, stage called reaction deals with the immediate reaction of the employees who just undergone a training program. This reaction of theirs is recorded through the use of feedback forms. 2. Learning Subsequently follows the stage of learning, where any kind of changes pertaining to employee’s skills, knowledge and attitude are measured. Generally pre-post test measures are used to check on the learning that has occurred. such measurement of change is 25
  • 26.
    important because itgives an indication of the quantum of change that has occurred among the employees post the training program. 3. Transfer of learning The third level is one where the application of whatever had been learnt through the program is measured. Again, for this purpose, questionnaires are used which are in the form of feedback forms. Various factors such as opportunities for applying the knowledge gained through the training, enablers and barriers for applying the knowledge, increase in confidence and improvement in performance are recorded and measured. This is done after a certain period of time has passed since the training program was conducted. The main concern is whether the transfer of learning took place and if it did not, then to detect the possible reasons behind it. It helps the organization recognize the flaws in its system that possibly pose constraints in the path of application of whatever had been learnt through the training programs and overcome them to facilitate transfer of learning to the workplace to as much extent as possible. 4. Results The final stage in Kirkpatrickk’s model deals with results. In this stage, the effectiveness of program is measured in terms that managers and executives can understand like increase in productivity, low defects, employee retention, decreased accidents, lower costs, etc. The process under Donald Kirkpatrickk’s model takes place in the following manner : Level 1 : Reaction • Did they like it? Level 2 : Learning • Did they learn it? Level 3 : Behaviour • Did they use it? Level 4 : Result • Did it impact the bottom line • What is the Return on Level 5 : ROI Investment? 26
  • 27.
    Relationship between Levels: Each subsequent level is predicated upon doing evaluation at lower level A Level 3 will be of marginal use, if a Level 2 evaluation is not conducted Only by assessing each level, can we yield actionable results: Now, since it is clear as to what the Donald Kirkpatrickk model says, I would like to proceed with the manner in which training is conducted and evaluated in JSPL. 27

    Return on Investment(ROI) in training and development (T&D) is a measure of the monetary benefits obtained by an organization over a specified time period in return for a given investment in a training program or is the extent to which the benefits (outputs) of training exceed the costs (inputs) or is a measure of all the economic returns generated from an investment in a T&D program. These returns are then compared with the true cost of the program to determine an average annual rate of return of the investment. All capital assets need to earn a rate of return for the business to make a profit and stay in business, ROI is about judging the investment in T&D on similar criteria to other investment in the business. ROI is the extent to which the benefits (outputs) of training exceed the costs (inputs). Some returns can be easily measured, such as increase in sales after a sales training program, but others such as customer/employee satisfaction, turnover rate, and complaint levels require conversion to a monetary amount. Some costs can also be easily measured, such as hire of training rooms, however other costs need further analysis to determine, such as the cost of administration of the T&D department. The intense focus on performance in public companies has made ROI increasingly important. The only way to guarantee that projects and programs receive funding is to show how they boost the bottom line. An ROI evaluation fulfils senior managements requirement to justify training budgets and investments. The idea of ROI was first proposed by Jack Phillips. He tried to express in terms of percentage or ratio & named it as the fifth stage of Kirkpatrickk model. The formula for it is as follows :- (Net Benefits / Costs) x 100 There was a research conducted and it was found that about $5.6 billion to $16.8 billion is wasted annually in ineffective training program. A study of 15 countries in the organization for Economic cooperation and development found that majority of the employees believe employee training is responsible for “ productive improvements, greater workforce flexibility, saving on material and capital cost, improved quality of final products or service and a more motivated workforce” However, many companies have not measured the benefits and related them to the cost of training in a way that reveals the rate of return on a firm's investment. Apparently there is no other workplace issue on which so much money is spent with as little accountability as training. 28

    “American industry isspending billions and billions on training programs and doing no evaluation of their effectiveness. We have to measure it.” -Cary Cherniss, Rutgers University The process of calculating ROI : To calculate ROI we must first make estimates or obtain measurements of the costs and benefits associated with a training program. As we will see, the calculation of ROI is then a relatively simple process. Let's start with the costs forecasting and measuring costs Design and development costs : The first category of cost to be considered is the design and development of the training program, whether this comprises classroom events, self-study materials, simple coaching sessions or some combination. We will need to consider: internal days of design and development costs of external designers and developers other direct design and development costs (purchase of copyrights, travel, expenses, etc.) outright purchase of off-the-shelf materials Faculty costs : The next category of costs relates to the delivery of the training, whether this is mediated by faculty (tutors, instructors, coaches, etc.) or is self-administered (workbooks, CBT, online training, etc.). Let’s start with the information needed to calculate faculty costs: the number of students who will be going through the program hours of group training (whether classroom-based or delivered in real time, online) hours of one-to-one training (typically face-to-face, but could conceivably be conducted by telephone, video conferencing link or in real-time, online) hours of self-study training additional faculty hours (preparation time, the time needed to review or mark submitted work or the time needed to correspond by email or bulletin boards with online students) faculty expenses (travel, accommodation, subsistence, etc.). 29
  • 30.
    Materials : Then there'sthe cost of materials: cost per student of training materials (books, manuals, consumables, etc.) license cost per student for use off-the-shelf materials Facilities : We will also need to allow for the cost of our training facilities, whether these are internal or external. Make sure to include the rental or notional internal cost of the following: training rooms open learning / self-study rooms equipment used Finally, don't forget to include any direct student expenses - travel, accommodation and subsistence. Evaluation costs : We also need to make an allowance for the time spent on evaluating the training, whether this is an ROI analysis or some other method forecasting and measuring benefits. The financial benefits of training cannot be measured in terms of student reactions, nor the amount of learning that has been achieved; not even the extent to which behavior may have changed. The real benefits come from improved performance – traditionally the hardest training outcome to forecast or measure these categories are not necessarily mutually exclusive - in some respects they provide alternative ways of looking at the same underlying benefit. Because of this, we should be extremely careful not to include the same basic benefit under more than one of these headings. Cost savings : Cost savings can be achieved in a variety of ways, not just through savings in labour, and this category allows we to take account of these. Examples include: fewer machine breakdowns, resulting in lower maintenance costs less mean time taken to repair a machine amount saved when these trained persons would give internal training to the other staff of free of cost The increase in the availability of machines 30
  • 31.
    New methods ofrepairing of machines are found, which otherwise would lead to purchase of new machinery Development of new cost saving methods of production Calculating return on investment (ROI) Return on investment tells the percentage return we have made over a specified period as a result of investing in a training program. On the assumption that benefits will continue to accrue some time after the training, then the period that we specify is critical to the ROI figure we will obtain. We may like to specify a period that fits in well with our organisation’s planning cycle – perhaps a year or two years. On the other hand, we may wish to calculate the period to correspond to the lifetime of the benefit, in which case we will need to know how long the average student stays in a position in which they can continue to apply the knowledge and skills being taught. It is relatively simple to calculate return on investment: % ROI = (benefits / costs) x 100 The primary benefits of ROI are: The ROI validates training as a business tool , training is seen as one of the actions, which an organization can take to increase its performance and profits: Justifies the cost incurred in training helps HR departments to avoid being the victim of cost-cutting in the next economic downturn Helps to improve the design of training program continuously on the basis of a formal evaluation sheet , filled by participants at the end of a program 31

Analysis of Level – 2(Learning) This level of ” Kirkpatrick Model” evaluates learning of participants from the training. We adopted following parameters to evaluate learning of participants:-  Pre -training marks and post training marks of participants .  Knowledge sharing (Giving in house training to subordinates and peers.)  Structured questionnaires(Filled by HOD and Participants) Pre -training marks and post training marks of participants For the purpose of level- 2 ,analysis, in order to find out whether learning has taken place or not, pre-post test measure was applied. Employees were made to take certain tests or assessments on the basis of which their knowledge/skill was measured. Thereafter, these employees were sent on training and after the completion of the training, these employees again had to take the tests. The purpose was to reevaluate the employees through the tests, in order to find out whether there has been any increase in their knowledge/skills post the program. The following table shows the programs concerning which the assessments were taken and the learning percentage : 37

    Q3) Was therenoticeable and measurable change in the activity and performance of the trainees when back in their roles? Analysis: Performance of the employees has increased , according to the supervisors the average increase in the level of performance exceeded the expectation and they rated 8.6(10), hence training program has been justified. Q4) Was the change in behaviour and new level of knowledge sustained ? Analysis: Yes, supervisors rated 7.6(10) , hence supervisors acknowledged and liked the change in behavior of participants and their knowledge sustenance Q5. Is the trainee aware of his /her change in behavior , knowledge ,skill level ? Analysis: Confidence of the employees are a serious concern as it can be judged from the above graph of knowledge/skill level, which are deriver of performance of the employees has been rated well(7.8). Q6) Would you recommend a similar training for other employees? Analysis: As we observed that overall rating is 8.2(10), it means supervisors are satisfied with such types of training program and can suggest to arrange such types of program in near future . Level-4 (Result) For the fourth level of Kirkpatrick Model , we took following training program.

    Reduction in numberof defects and severity of accidents Reduction in time to complete tasks and calls to the help desk Improved use of software or system (ex:- SAP model in HR, MM, SD, FI&CO, PM) Measure changes in staff turnover, number of complaints, growth, attrition rate, waste utilization, failures, non-compliance, quality ratings, achievement of standards and accreditations and customer retention Intangible Benefits Apart from tangible benefits department also contributed significantly to enhance some Industrial parameters in combined efforts with other departments. 1. MTTR(Mean Time to Repair):- This parameter should be minimum ,which means fault in machine was quickly corrected and machine came immediately into running state. 2. MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure):- This parameter shows the time distance between two consecutive failures, which should be maximum , so that machine will available for work for maximum time. 3. Availability:- This parameter shows in 24 hrs cycle , how long machine was available for work. This parameter should be high , which means machine was available for work at maximum time. 4. Breakdown Hours:- This parameter shows , how long machine was interrupted because of fault. This data should be minimum , which means maximum time machine was available for work. 5. No. of Breakdown(Avg.):- This data should be minimum , which means minimum numbers of interruption occurs. Data Interpretation 1. MTTR:- As mentioned table below , it is clearly seen that in each department , repairing work has done quickly and raised the availability. Combined effort made significant enhancement in MTTR 47

However the learning was also good in all three parameters i.e Learning index (54.38%) , Self evaluation (Effective), Knowledge sharing (Effective) . Evaluators of change in behavior rated 8.1(10) ,which justified the program expectation. The reasons that imparted improvement to the performance are increased number of coaching and feedbacks, better supervision on job by the supervisors, increase in the actual usage of knowledge/skills gained through the program, and the availability of necessary equipments and materials for performing on the job. In the last level of “Kirkpatrick Model” , we saw new initiative by the employees like case study, New attempt and high ROI(Return on investment) 60
  • 61.
    In the courseof my study and the analysis that followed thereafter, I came across certain setbacks in the various levels as well as in the system, regarding whom, I would like to make the following suggestions : For level 1: The employees should be given sufficient time to study the subject matter of the program. The study material should be adequate and relevant according to the program. More practical example should be given. Proper agenda should be made for the program. Venue facilities should be enhanced. For level - 2 : Proper facilitation of learning should be made and the knowledge/skills of the employees should be increased. For level - 3 : Confidence of the employees to perform on the job needs to be increased. The programs should be made more relevant to the job requirements. Opportunities provided to the employees to use the knowledge/skills gained from the program needs to be increased. Necessary equipments and materials required for the job should be made easily available. For Level- 4 Each department should be instructed to maintain data based on training impact for future reference:-  Major work done based on training  Cost saving  Accident avoided  New initiative 61
  • 62.
    Apart from these,I would like to make the following suggestions, too on increase training’s effectiveness in JSPL. 1. Each and every individual of the company should be taught what “ Kirkpatrick model” is, so that they give genuine feedback when desired. 2. After training program there should be suitable rewarding system for the excellent performers and the average and poor performer’s problems should be identified and necessary motivation dose and support should be given for their improvement. 3. Training facility should be more job relevant and should be given to those whose job profile is related to that particular training program. 4. Sometimes the communication pattern itself becomes an obstacle, so according to situations, Hindi should also be used. 5. Apprehensions in the minds of employees restrain them from cooperating with the management, proper care should be taken to remove such apprehensions. 62
