How is it different from education? \nAnswer: \nMeaning of Training \nTraining is the process of improving the job knowledge and skills of employees so as to enable them to perform well. It is an organised or systematic activity where in people acquire knowledge and skills for doing a specific job. It is a two-way process because there must be someone to learn and someone to teach.<\/p>\n
The purpose of training is to mould the behaviour of people so that they can do their jobs in a better way. In order to achieve this purpose, a training programme is used to improve the knowledge, skills and attitudes of employees. Training is the process of imparting information and knowledge to the employees. As an organised activity, training is designed to create a change in the thinking and behaviour of people.<\/p>\n
Training is continues \nprocess, because there is no end to learning and a person, has to learn continuously – new technology, new patterns of behaviour and new life styles. Training is necessary for both new as well as existing employees so that they may peform their jobs property. Training also helps employees to make progress in their careers.<\/p>\n
Several on – the – job and off – the – job methods are used for training employees. New employees need training to adopt themselves to the new environment and to perform their jobs efficiently. Old workers require in – service – training to update their knowledge and to learn new methods and techniques of doing work. Thus training is a continuous or never- ending process. There is no end to learning.<\/p>\n
Distinction Between Training and Education:-<\/strong><\/p>\nTraning and Education \nTraining should be differentiated from education though both are elements of the learnings process. Education involves improving the general knowledge and developing on over all under standing of the total environment. For example, a mechanic who repairs the car better than an engineer is only trained. He is not educated because he does not know the principles of engineering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Therefore, the scope of education is wider than’ that of training. Secondly the purpose of education is general whereas training has a specific and immediate purpose of making a person proficient in a particular job. The aim of education is to develop the over all understanding and mental capabilities, where as the purpose of training is to improve the knowledge and skills of an individual in doing a particular job more efficiently.<\/p>\n
Thirdly education involves formal instruction in a school or college whereas training can be given on the job itself. Fourthly education is generally theoretical whereas training is practical in nature. Lastly, the cost of education is generally paid by the Government and the student. On the other hand, the cost of training is generally borne by the employer.<\/p>\n

Training is the act of improving the knowledge and skills for doing a specific job. On the other hand, development involves growth of a person in all respects. It is the process by which managers and executives acquire not only skills and competence in their present jobs but also capabilities for future tasks of increasing difficulty and scope.<\/p>\n
Secondly training aims at improving current job performance whereas development seeks to improve future job performance. In other words training is job centered while development is career-band. For instance, an employee may receive training to operate a computer. But he may attend a management course develop leadership skills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Training and development programmes may be beneficial to both managers and workers but the contents of the programmes are likely to differ, managers receive instructions in developing leadership skills whereas workers are trained in technical skills.<\/p>\n

There are two important sources of internal recruitment transfers and promotion both are economic. As it simplifies the process of selection and placement. The candidates that are already in the working the interprise can be evaluated more accurately and economically.<\/p>\n
2. Transfer is a toll of training the employees to prepare them for higher jobs. Also people recruited from within the organisation do not need induction training.<\/p>\n
3. Transfer has the benefit of shifting work fore from the surplus departments to those where there is shortage of staff.<\/p>\n
4. Filling of jobs internally is cheaper as compared to getting candidates from external sources.<\/p>\n
5. Employees are motivated to improve their performance. A promotional at a higher level may lead to a chain of promotion at lower levels in the organisation. This motivates the employees to improve their performance through learning and practice. Employees work their commitment and loyalty and remain satisfied within jobs. Also peace prevails in the enterprise because of promotional avenues.<\/p>\n
Question 6. \nWhat is the importance of staffing function in todays environment? \nAnswer: \nThe need and importance of the staffing function of management are as follows. \n1. Key function \nStaffing is regarded as key function because it deals with human beings. It has been recognised that human resources is one of the most valuables assets for an organisation.<\/p>\n
2. Helps in building sound human organisation \nStaffing helps in searching for qualified and competent persons, stimulating them to join the organisation.<\/p>\n
3. Ensures maximum productivity \nBy placing the right man at the right job staffing ensures maximum production at minimum of time, effort and cost.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. Provides job satisfaction \nStaffing provides job satisfaction to the workers by assigning them the job most- suited to their capability and potential. \n. \n5. Prepares for future challenges \nThrough staffing, the management can foreseen and plan its future staff requirements and accordinagly train and develop its workers for assuming future responsibilities.<\/p>\n
Long Answer Type Questions<\/span><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \nDefine the staffing process and the various steps involved in it? \nAnswer: \nStaffing Process – Steps in staffing process. \n \nThe various steps in the staffing process as shown in the above figure are as follows<\/p>\n
(i) Prior to staffing : \nBefore the actual function of staffing starts, a minimum preparation is required. A definite idea should be made of the person who will be responsibly for the staffing function. In formation should also be gathered about the working of the internal and external environment of the business.<\/p>\n
(ii) Staffing Plan : \nBefore the actual work of recruiting and selecting employees takes place a staffing plan should be prepared by the organisation. Human Resource Planning (HRP) is the process by which managers ensure that they have the right numbers and kinds of people in the right places, and at the right times, who are capable of effectively and efficiently performing the assigned tasks. The two most important tabs of Human Resource Planning therefore are<\/p>\n
\nassessing current human resources; and<\/li>\n assessing future human resources needs and developing a programme to meet those future needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n(iii) Appropriate Qualifications : \nStaffing involves matching the requirements of the job with the qualifications of the persons to be recruited. Hence job requirements are minutely studies and appropriate qualifications for the same are determined in advance.<\/p>\n
(iv) Developing Assessment Tests : \nOn the basis of the qualifications assessment tests are to be developed to measure whether these qualifications are actually poessessed by the candidates. The Assessment Tests should be so devised that they do not focus on single abstract ability and should not create bias in the assessment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(v) Locating Potential Applications : \nThe next step involves locating the potential candidates or determining the sources of potential candidates. Both internal as well as external sources explored may be tolocate the potential candidates for the specified jobs.<\/p>\n
(vi) Advertising the job : \nInternal sources of finding potential candidates can be used to a limited extent. For fresh talent and wider choice external sources of recruitment are greatly relied upon, for which advertising is a necessary next step.<\/p>\n
(vii) Selection Test\/Interview : \nThe next step in the staffing process is to screen the candidates through different methods such as selection test, interviews etc. The objective -of the selection process to find the most suitable person for – the job.<\/p>\n
(viii) Deciding and Notifying Applicants : \nA final list of candidates who are provisionally selected is prepared for further verification, like price verification character verification, reference check etc. which is necessary for contacting important in formation about them before making a decision in this regard.<\/p>\n
(ix) Final selection and placement : \nThe next step is making a final selection and communicating with the candidates. The selected candidates are then placed in the job. Placement is the process of assiging a specific job to each of the selected candidates. It involves assiging a specific rank and responsibility to an individual and implies matching the requirements of a job with the qualifications of a candidate.<\/p>\n
(x) Orientation\/Induction : \nOrientation is a planned introduction of employees to their jobs their co-workers and the organisation. An initial training programme is provided to all new persons touring an organisation so as to-induct them to the job. It is important to make the new persons comfortable to carry out the assigned job smoothly.<\/p>\n
(xi) Training : \nThere is a continuous need for up gradation of the skills and knowledge of the employees so that they can adopt to the sort changing business environment. It is an attempt to improve the performance of the employee’s by improving their knowledge skills and attitudes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Question 2. \nExplain the procedure for selection of employees. \nAnswer: \nSelection is a process of weeding out unsuitable candidates and finally arriving at the most suitable candidates. Thus while recruitment is considered as a positive process (or attracting job applicants), selection is a negative process (or rejecting or filtering the applicants).<\/p>\n
The main function of the personnel department is to see how personnel are recruited and selected.-Selection is an important process because employees may remain with the firm for a long period of time. Organization spend large amounts in the selection process. There is full justification for such expenditure. The costs of recruitment and training-are considered as investment in \u2019Personnel\u2019 the return for which will be in the form of contribution made by them toward the output. Selection thus involves drawing a cost-benefit analysis.<\/p>\n
Selection procedure is like a sequence of hurdles. Actually . selection is a negative process. It is negative because more will be turned away than hired. Successful candidates leap over the hurdles and arrive at the finish line, whereas the unsuccessful candidates do not. Selection is, thus carried on by this successive hurdles technique. Some times selection is carried by the multiple – correlation technique also.<\/p>\n
The multiple correclation technique, which is, less commonly used is based on the assumption that a deficiency in one factor can be \u2018 counter balanced by an excess amount of other. That is to say when a battery of tests are conducted by the management in the selection of t employees a low score on the test can be counter balanced by the high score on the other.<\/p>\n
Selection process reveals the following steps<\/strong><\/p>\n1. Recruitment : \nRecruitment refers to those activities of an organization used to attract job candidates possessing the appropriate characteristics to . help the organization reach its objectives. Recruitment determines the total number of applicants applying for each position in the organistion.<\/p>\n
The recruitment efforts of an organization are continuous. A logical starting point in recruitment is to look within the organisation carefully. Employees who are satisfied with the organisation will feel like recommending their friends, relatives, neighbours etc. But normally organizations try to recruit employees from out side the organization.<\/p>\n
There are a number of ways of recruitment of potential employees – such as private employment ” agencies, public employment agencies, school and colleges, adverting, walk-in (walk-ins mean the people who show upto the gate unsolicited) write in (write-ins means the unsolicted job-seeking letters}, applicant files, field recruitment trips, professional associations for placement of employees etc.<\/p>\n
2. The Screening Interview : \nA brief screening interview is conducted in the early selection process by a big organization. This is-of short duration and may last for about fifteen to twenty minutes. The employment specialist generally asks ‘knock out’ questions and answering these questions in a particular fashion disqualifies the applicant immediately.<\/p>\n
For example ‘are you prepared to work overtime is a vital question if the job under consideration involves unexpected increase in the demand for product. If the applicant gets success in the screening interview he will be given a blank application form to fill it up.<\/p>\n
3. Blank Application Form : \nAnother indispensable part of the selection is the job application form. The application blank is essentially a personal history questionnaire. A full-fledged application form furnishes information , about the candidate’s schooling, qualification, experience, special abilities, attitudes, tastes and preferences etc.<\/p>\n
The prescribed application form in addition to providing biographical information,also provides some information related to success on the job. How a person complete the form also might give some clues about the person’s organizational ability and intelligence. For instance, a blank completed in a disorganised fashion (i.e. rough writing, may crosscuts, excessive writing in margins, careless hand writing etc.)<\/p>\n
might suggest sloppy work habits of the candidate. Though it is not always true, a carefully designed and skilfully interpreted application form is a potent source of information about an individual’s attitudes, his basic motivation drives his emotional adjustment, his relation with other people and his over all ability to function satisfactorily on the job.<\/p>\n
4. Psychological Tests : \nThough the psychological tests are not the sole method of selection, they are mose frequently employed in almost all organizations. A psychological test is a systematic procedure for sampling human behaviour.<\/p>\n
If is designd to measure alertness, achievement special aptitude and physical dexterity etc. of the candidates. The psychological tests are valuable in placing the available candidates in the most suitable jobs.’ These tests take into account such factors as verbal comprehension, numerical comprehension, pursuit, perceptual speed, visualisation inductive reasoning, word fluency, and syntactic evalution. Syntatic evaluation implies the.ability to apply principles to arrive at a unique solution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. Evaluation Interview : \nAn evalution is perhaps the most important part in the selection process. It attempts to make a careful assessment of the candidates qualifications for the particular task (job). The interview time may range from thirty to fifty minutes. The purpose of interview is to have a good overview of the candidate’s strengths and weaknesses for the position.<\/p>\n
Selection interviews are normally conducted in the privacy of an office or a conference room so that the room is quiet and free from interruptions. To relax the candidate and establish support, it is justiciable to spend some time (at least three to five minutes) in warm- up conversation on the part of the interviewer.<\/p>\n
An effective interviewer provides the interviewer the reinforcement and encouragement by asking such questions as demographic details (native place and address etc.) and also sports, college experience, etc. after the warm-up period the interviewer shifts to more job-related and subjective questions such as ‘why are you interested in our organization?’ why did you leave the previous job? etc.<\/p>\n
As a follow up to these, the interviewer often probes deep into facts by digging for additional details. At the end of the interview each and every candidate (successful as well as unsuccessful) will be thanked for their interest and will be informed that they will be hearing from the organization soon. The organization sends regret letters to the unsuccessful candidates (in some cases they – keep silent about the results) and positive letters of acceptance to the successful counter parts.<\/p>\n
6. Background Investigation \nAnother important part in the selection process is the verification of information obtained from the candidate’s blank application from, selection interview, and the resume he prepares at the end of interview. Normally the candidate is required to state some references (at least two) at the time of filling up the blank application form. Almost all organisation perform some background investigation either by writing or making phone call to the refrees. Background investigation acts as a reference check on the employees.<\/p>\n
7. The physical Examination \nMedical examination of all the candidates before employment is \na necessary step in the selection process. Nobody is consideted as hired until he has successfully passed every setp of recruitment and selection process. Medical examination is one such step. This step is neccessary for three vital reasons<\/p>\n
\nTo assure that the applicant is fit to work in the organization (for example, a person with a multitude of hypochondriacla complaints (fits) might not be able to meet the attendance standards of the organization.)<\/li>\n To asure that the candidate is physically fit forplacement in a particular job.<\/li>\n To provide base against which later physical examination may be compared (this is particularly important disability’ claims that may occur during the job assignments).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n8. Placement \nAfter the physical examination is over, the candidate will be given a fitness certificate. The final step, then in the selection process is to give the employment letter to the candidate specifying the place of work gross employments, hours of work etc. It also mentions about the promotional avenues, the rate of increment over a particular time period and the saturated level of pay etc.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Question 3. \nWhat are the advantages of training to the individual and to the organization? \nAnswer: \nThe need for training of employees arises due to the following factors \n(i) Higher Productivity : \nIt is essential to increase productivity and reduce cost of production for meeting competition in the market. Effective training can help increase productivity of the workers by importing the required skills.<\/p>\n
(ii) Quality Improvement : \nThe customers have become quality conscious and their requirements keep on changing. To satisfy the customers, quality of products must be continuously improved through training of workers.<\/p>\n
(iii) Reduction of learning Time : \nSystematic training through trained instructors is essential to reduce the learning period. If the workers learn through trail and error, they will take a longer time and even may not be able to learn right methods of doing work.<\/p>\n
(iv) Industrial safety : \nTrained workers can handle the machines safely. They also know the use of various safety devices in the factory. Thus they are less prone to industrial accidents.<\/p>\n
(v) Reduction of Turnover and Absenteeism : \nTraining treat safeeling confidence in the mindsof the worker.lt gives them a security at the work place. As a result labour turnover and absenteeism rates are redueced.<\/p>\n
(vi) Technology Update : \nTechnology is changing at pace. The workers must learn new techniques to make use of advanced technology. Thus training should be treated as a continuous process to update the employees in the new methods and procedures.<\/p>\n
(vii) Effective Management : \nTraining can be used as an effective tool of planning and control. It develops skills among workers and prepares them for handling present and future jobs. It helps in reducing the costs of super vision, wastages and industrial accidents. It also helps increase productivity and quality which are the cherished goals of any modern organisation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Benefits of Training to the Organisation<\/strong> \nTraining is beneficial for the organisation as discussed below \n(i) Economy in Operations \nTrained personnel will be able to make better and economical use of materials and equipments. Wastage will be low. In addition, the rate of accidents and damage to machinery and equipment will be kept to the minimum by the well-trained employees. These will lead to less cost of production per unit.<\/p>\n(ii) Greater Productivity : \nA well-trained employee usually shows greater productivity and higher quality of work output than an untrained employee. Training increase the skills of the employees in the performance of a particular job. An increase in the skills usually helps to increase both quantity and quality of out put.<\/p>\n
(iii) Uniformity of Procedures : \nWith the help of training the best available methods of work can be standardised and made available to all employees. Standardisation will make high levels of performance rule rather than the exception.<\/p>\n
(iv) Less supervision : \nIf the employees are given proper training the responsibility of supervision is lessened. Training does not-eliminate, the need for supervision, but it reduces the need for detailed and constant supervision.<\/p>\n
(v) Systematic Imparting of Skills : \nA systematic training programme helps to reduce the learning time to reach the acceptable level of performance. The employees need not learn by trial and error or by observing other and waste time if the formal training programme exists in the organisation.<\/p>\n
(vi) Creation of Inventory of Skills : \nWhen totally new skills are required by an organisation. It has to face great difficulties in employment. Training can be used in spotting out promising men and in removing defects in the selection process. It is better to select and train employees from within the organisation rather than seek the skilled employees from outside sources.<\/p>\n
Question 4. \nThe staffing function is performed by every manager and not necessarily by a separate department. Explain. ‘ \nAnswer: \nYes, It is a function which all managers need to performIt is a separate and specialised function and there are many aspects of human relations to be considered. It is the job of managers to fill position in their organisation and to make sure that they remain occupied with qualified people.<\/p>\n
Staffing is closely linked to organising since after the structure and position have been decided, people are \u2018 required to work in these positions subsequently, they need to be trained and motivated to work in harmony with the goals of the organisation thus staffing is seen as an important function of management.<\/p>\n
The staffing function deals with the human element of management. Managing the human component of an organisation is the most important task because the performance of an organisation depends upon how will this function is performed. The success of ah organisation in achieving its goal in determined to,a great extent on the competence, motivation and performance of its human resources.<\/p>\n
It is responsibility of all managers to directly deal with the select ‘ people to work for the organisation. When the manager performs the staffing function his role is slightly limited. Some of these responsibilities will include placing the right person on the right job, introducing new employees to the organisation, training employees improving their performance, developing their ability, maintaining their moral and protecting their health and physical conditions.<\/p>\n
In small organisations, managers may perform all duties related to employees salaries welfare and working conditions. \nBut as organisation grow and number of persons employed increases, a separate department called the human resource department is formed which has specialists in managing people.<\/p>\n
The management of human resources is a specialised area which requires the expertise of many people. The number of human resource specialists and size of this department gives an indication of the size of the business as well.Thus it is true that staffing is a function of every manager.<\/p>\n
Application Type Questions Answers<\/strong><\/p>\nQuestion 1. \nThe workers of a factory are -unable to work on new machines and always demand for help of supervisor. The Supervisor is overburdened with their frequent calls. Suggest the remedy. \nAnswer: \nSupervisor in an organization which acts as a link between workers and management.

Question 2. \nThe workers of a factory remain idle because of lack of knowledge of hi-tech machines. Frequent visit of engineer is .made which causes high overhead charges. How can this problem be removed. \nAnswer: \nIn this situation, the workers should be trained in such a way that in the absence of engineer, they may handle the high-tech machines. Certain techniques of training like T-Group training, Sensitivity training, programmed instruction can enhance the skills, aptitudes and abilities of workers to perform specific jobs requiring . high-tech know-how.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Question 3. \nThe quality of Production is not as per standards. On investigation it was observed that most of the workers were not fully aware of the proper operation of the machinery. What could be the way to improve the accuracy? \nAnswer: \nStaffing function must be performed efficiently. If right kind of workers are not available or unaware of the changed targets or standards as in the above situation will lead to wastage of materials, time, effort and energy, resulting in iower productivity and poor quality of products. Workers should be given adequate train ing so that wastage is minimum. Workers should be induced to show higher productivity and quality by offering them proper incentives.<\/p>\n
Question 4. \nAn organisation provides security services. It requires * such candidates who are reliable and don’t leak out the secrets of their clients.
