understanding of the situation that calls for
more effective behaviour.

2. Who is the person involved?
3. Who is the immediate superior?
These issues raise questions of motivation and relations.
They affect his capacity to learn and thus the effectiveness
of his training.
PHASE 2
(Training):
There are always set of queries that play in and out of the participants mind as he begins his
training and selects what he wants to learn from the programme just getting underway.
The participants tries out some new behaviour.
This programme more or less continues.
PHASE 3

confident with the job he has to do.

existing employees become outdated because of the advancement in
the technology.
So updating technical and specialized knowledge of the training is
needed to keep the employees updated with the latest innovations.
For example- A employee might be knowing the complete
knowledge of computer but still he takes a brief class to learn more
about this subject as the course will be updated from time to time.

with practice.
