Abstract
The competitive world of modern business has inspired the
corporate world to continuously review their beliefs and
policies towards the human resources who contribute
significantly towards the survival and growth of
organizations. The business houses that are progressive have
started treating employees as a boon and not a bane. They
are taking steps to identify, channelize and develop the
potential of their human resource. They have realized that
development of business is not possible without
development of its employees. Human Resource
Development is a process by which the employees of an
organization are helped in a continuous and planned way in
order to : 1) acquire or sharpen capabilities required to
perform various functions related to their present and
expected future roles 2) to help identify and utilize the inner
potential of the employees for their personal as well as
organizational development 3) develop an overall culture in
the workplace where there are strong ties between the
superior-subordinate and members of a team.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
Human resource development helps employees of an
organization to acquire the requisite competencies to
perform well and help in organizational growth also. A
progressive organization needs to have a congenial HRD
climate wherein:
• The employees are given freedom to express their
ideas
• Team spirit is encouraged
• Mutual Trust
• Action should follow words
• Risk taking by employees is encouraged and some
degree of autonomy is given to employees for
taking decisions.
• Issues are confronted so as to resolve them rather
than pushing them under the carpet.

organization needs to develop human resources to align with
the organizational need, culture, technological and ethical
standards. Training is the most important tool to convert
staff into human resources. This study is an effort to find out
the efficacy of training to fulfill organizational need and

INTRODUCTION
With the growth of technology leading to complex
organizational processes and huge size of the organizations
training helps employees to learn better ways to do their job,
with continuous up gradation of skill training helps to retain
and build employee morale, confidence and satisfaction
level. The employees build better inter-personal relations
with their colleagues in the organization. Once the
employees are trained, they need not be continuously
monitored so the managers/supervisors get time to look after
other aspects of the organization. Trained people can tide
over any future changes in the demand of the organizational
products. The empowered employees would be able to take
critical decisions to meet the need of the hour. Regular up
gradation of skill of the employees is a must for any
organization seeking to progress in today’s demand oriented
dynamic business world. Training helps in developing
multi-tasking ability of employees as in today’s competitive
world it is not enough to be proficient in a particular area,
the employees need to adapt to new methods of technologies
and work methods.
