ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Being associated with JSW STEEL LTD. and having to do a project with them has been one
of the most memorable and great learning experiences. The project has been a great
journey for me, right from its inception to its completion. I owe a great deal to some very
important people without whose guidance and support, the project would not have been
successful.

At the outset, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Tapas Kumar Das (General
Manager-HR, Corporate Center) for giving me an opportunity to undergo summer
internship at JSW LTD.

I would like to express my profound appreciation to my project guide, Mr. Vaibhav


Pathak ( Asst. General Manager- HR, Corporate Center) whose perseverance and
tenacity inspired me to face the complex challenges involved in the project. I am indebted
to him for his invaluable support and infallible expertise.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I have undertaken the project on talent assessment and development for JSW Steel Ltd.
in order to learn the practical aspects of Human Resources. It has acted as a window to
show me how the learning & development team functions. Its core activity i.e. training is
focused on empowering people with knowledge, both functional and behavioral. This project
has given me exposure to the learning & development in particular training part of
corporate HR and the competency for HPEs.

( High Potential Employees). It has also introduced me to various B-schools offering training
programs in various fields to organizations as per their need and various trainers and
vendors.

I have studied various aspects of learning and development at JSW which includes
Discussion forums, e-learning, Coaching, training process, training content designing,
training offered by vendors, etc. The training process starts with an explanation of the
nature of training and development, objective of training & development, the actual process,
training need identification, designing of the content of the finalized programs. It then
moves on to the list of the TOP B-schools offering the MDPs.

I have also studied the practices of learning and development followed at JSW and other
industries. It was then followed by the questionnaire filled by the employees. Based on the
results, finally it lists the recommendations for the same.

I have also been involved in framing the competencies that the HPEs at JSW should possess.
This will help the line managers in identifying their HPEs for the leadership role.

Study of the above mentioned aspects has helped me to broaden my perspective towards
L&D and helped me to come up with ideas that can be used to impart learning to the
employees in the organization. Thanks to this project, I have learnt the importance of
Human Relations in maintaining & enriching the human resources of an organization.

INTRODUCTION

India is passing through a period of remarkable change and very interesting times. For half
a century before independence in 1947, there was hardly any discernible economic growth
in the whole Indian sub continent and we have now come a long way to a sustainable
growth path.

The growth is manifesting itself in many ways all across the country : innovation and
entrepreneurship are in the air. With such exciting changes taking place in all spheres , it is
important to manage the human potential that India possesses effectively. As is known, the
world is growing flatter. Globalization is the word of the day. With such fast paced changes,
it has become important for companies to retain & train their people to not only face the
competition but also to create a difference to their organization. The words of Alvin Toffler ,
the American futurist and writer is more than true of these times : the illiterate of the 21st
century is not the one who cannot read and write, but the one who cannot learn, unlearn
and relearn. Keeping this in mind most organizations are laying great emphasis on learning
and development of their employees.

NATURE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT


In simple terms, training and development refers to the imparting of specific skills, abilities
and knowledge to an employee. A formal definition of training & development is it is any
attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employees
ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employees attitude or
increasing his or her skills and knowledge. The need for training & development is
determined by the employees performance deficiency, computed as follows:

Training & Development need = Standard performance Actual performance.

We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction
enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was
stated earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand,
is confined to theoretical learning in classrooms.

Table 1. Training and Education Differentiated

Narrow / Perspective

Broad Perspective

Training refers to the process of imparting specific skills.


Development refers to the learning opportunities
designed to help employees grow.
Education is theoretical learning in classroom.

Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow.


Development is not primarily skill-oriented. Instead, it provides general knowledge and
attitudes which will be helpful to employees in higher positions. Efforts towards development
often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities, such as those
supplied by management developmental programmes, are generally voluntary.

AIMS/OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

The fundamental aim of training is to help the organization achieve its purpose by adding
value to its key resource the people it employs. Training means investing in the people to
enable them to perform better and to empower them to make the best use of their natural
abilities. The particular objectives of training are to:

Develop the competences of employees and improve their performance;

Help people to grow within the organization in order that, as far as possible, its
future needs for human resource can be met from within;

Reduce the learning time for employees starting in new jobs on appointment,
transfers or promotion, and ensure that they become fully competent as quickly and
economically as possible.

TRAINING PROCESS
Training at JSW starts with identifying the need for training. It is an ongoing process where
everything is tailor made as per the requirement of the employees and the organization.

PART 1:
DESIGNING OF TRAINING PLAN

TRAINING PLAN

FOREWORD
An organization's level of excellence is a reflection of the skill and attitude of its employees.
In times of constant change the skill sets of employees needs to be updated on a continuous
basis. We must be sensitive to the fact that in such a rapidly changing scenario, people, like
products become obsolete very quickly. An organization that imbibes the culture of
continuous learning ensures that it never becomes outdated and continues to scale the
excellence curve.
The best way of going about achieving this is to build a strong foundation of learning and
development. Importantly, we believe that the leaders in the organization contribute to
building a talent pool by sharing their expertise and knowledge they have gained in their
specific fields. It is when we develop a culture of mentoring and coaching the new
generation that transfer of new skill sets become ingrained in the system.
Our learning and development plan is part of effort to develop competency and build
learning culture in our organization. This booklet comprising management development
programs intends to cater the common needs of JSW Group Companies.
We surely believe in receiving your support in taking our learning& development initiatives
forward. We deeply value your views and suggestions in our never ending journey for
excellence.

JSW TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

JSW is committed to the continuous development of its employees. This policy will ensure
that we have the adaptability and flexibility to succeed as a world class conglomerate.

Learning and development initiatives are aligned with organizational


objectives.
Leaders at all levels across the organization develop people, leverage
their strengths and harness the collective learning for organizational
excellence.
Provide world class learning exposure to people at all levels.
Tap all means of learning (i.e.- off the job and on the job learning
opportunities) to quicken employee learning and development .

SECONDARY DATA:
ANALYSIS OF VARIOUS ORGANISATIONS LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
PRACTICES:
1) ONGC India sets up e-academy
Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd is taking the initiative to enhance better skills and
output for its employees through 24x7 Learning, India's premier talent lifecycle
management company. 24x7 Learning has entered into a strategic alliance with Scotlandbased Atlas Interactive Ltd, an oil and gas industry eLearning content specialist.
Performance Management Program, which ensures that employees have a clear
understanding of their goals and expected behaviors and how those are linked to the
company's goals and aligned with our vision and values. Additionally, the program focuses
on employee development to ensure that every employee is continually learning and
developing to position themselves for future business challenges.

Leadership Academy, which is designed to provide directors, managers, superintendents


and first-line supervisors with high-quality workshops dedicated to enhancing their
leadership skills. Many of the workshops are led by PG&E officers, and the curriculum is
progressive, allowing for the introduction of new workshops as needs are identified.

Leadership Coaching, which is an ongoing partnership designed to help employees


throughout the company produce fulfilling results in their professional lives. Through the
process of coaching, employees deepen their learning, improve their performance and
enhance their quality of life.
2) McDONALDS:
MOBILE LEARNING
McDonalds plans to use Nintendo DS as a training tool in its Japan locations. According to
Networkworld.com, the fast food giant is developing a program for use on the popular
gaming console called eSmart. McDonalds is reportedly investing over $2 million (US) to

place two DS consoles in all 3,700 McDonalds locations in Japan this year. The target
audience for this program are part-time, new hire employees.

3) GE s L&D options
GE has set up a comprehensive learning & development program for all employees.
The company invests about US$1 billion annually on such programs from assembly
lines to corporate classrooms to boardrooms.
One such initiative GE has set up is a comprehensive business development course
designed for the functional and unit business heads. The course sees each head
undergoing simulations in running other business units in order to develop broader
business skills. The CFO might take up the role of COO in the simulation, for example, while
a senior HR executive could be shouldered with the position of CFO.
It forces people to take on different roles and run a fairly sophisticated simulation against
other teams. You can see how they interact, make decisions and interpret data. It gives
them an idea of what the basic skills are in other functions.

4) APOLLO TYRES:
Culture of Constant Learning
All training programmes are consolidated under the Apollo Laureate Academy. In
collaboration with leading institutes like the Indian Institutes of Management, Management
Development Institute, IMD, Dale Carnegie Training and knowledge partners like Mercer and
Thomas Profiling, domain-specific training needs are identified and programmes developed
especially for Apolloites, to address the entire gamut of functions from sales and marketing
to manufacturing, technical, commercial, engineering, quality processes, soft skills and
inter-personal skill development.
The Apollo Laureate Academy encourages individuals to attend seminars, meets,
conferences and workshops taking place in the public domain, to ensure both professional
growth and learning, as well as to build relationships and network with similar communities
across industries.
For the vital sales and marketing and manufacturing teams, specialised programmes have
been developed to enhance skills, and identify individual areas of strength. These include
modules at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, for senior management, Hero
Mindmine for field training and the Ashok Leyland Training Centre for technical training,
besides others.
Simultaneously, three prestigious leadership development programmes cut across all
functions and locations, where high-performing individuals, from senior, middle and junior
management, are hand-picked to enhance their global management skills through the
Enhanced Leadership Development Programme, the Advanced Leadership Development
Programme and the Supervisory Development Programme.

CULTURE OF INNOVATION
Looking beyond the obvious and exploring diverse opportunities is encouraged and
respected at Apollo Tyres. Innovative, or what is called out-of-the-box thinking, is rewarded.
These range from appreciation notes from senior management, the plant-level Kudos Club
and Achievement Award certificates and even financial, non-financial and paid holiday
package rewards. But employees have found that their best reward comes when their idea
is acknowledged amongst all employees, and they are asked to work on the idea and
implement it as part of their direct contribution to Apollo's phenomenal growth plans.

5) ADITYA BIRLA GROUP:


For enhancing the managers learning process, a knowledge portal has been developed
called Gyandhara or knowledge@desktop where three services are offered:
:: E-books that provide managers with the continuous "stay in school" resources and
materials on cutting edge thought leadership skills.
::

Bimonthly e-newsletter that provides the latest updates on industry trends and
management news.

::

The research assistance facility that guarantees a response time of less than 72 hours
ensures that managers receive prompt responses to their queries.

The Aditya Birla Group strongly believes that these three types of services that are offered
in the knowledge portal will continue to keep managers engaged and challenged in their
pursuit for greater knowledge in honing their skills and competency levels.
For every employee in the company, there is the group intranet that is affectionately known
as Adityadisha. As with a corporate intranet, this learning channel serves as the information
gateway and repository for corporate information and internal communication from the
management. It contains various features such as a career helpdesk, and management
circulars including access to multiple learning sites that cater to the various needs and
requirements of the employees, managers, and non-managers alike.
The last learning channel is Anubhav, which is a knowledge repository that houses more
than 600 organisation case studies on the company's success stories, learning experiences
from real-life, and practical problems and issues including solutions shared by practicing
managers of the company.

OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS:

COMPETENCY FOR HPES

IDENTIFYING HIGH POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES

High Potential Employee (HPE) is an employee who can take up higher level
responsibilities and deliver excellent business performance over a period of
time. Some of the attributes displayed by HPEs are Drive & ambition,
Learning agility, Business Acumen, People Acumen and Analytical &

Number Skills. It is highly essential to identify potential of people or


identify HPE very accurately. It the right people are not chosen purely based
on potential then it would lead to poor talent management.
Organisations world over use several ways and means to identify HPEs, for
example, Assessment Centers, Psychometric Tests, 360 degrees feedback,
etc. are some of the tools to identify HPEs. But none of the above tools can
be a substitute to feedback or opinion given by direct superiors/ managers of
the employees. This is because it is the direct supervisor who interacts with
the employee day in day out.
Hence, the manager is in a position to accurately identify high potential. In
order to accurately identify potential, the manager needs to:
a. Observe keenly- BEHAVIORS, DECISIONS & ACTIONS of the
people.
b. Ask the right questions to gain better understanding of people.
c. Get feedback (through dialogue / debate) about the person from
multiple sources.
This booklet has been designed to assist all managers & leaders in

How to Spot a Leader?


Many people who think they know how to recognize a leader focus on highly visible
attributes & skills, such as analytical brilliance, charisma, the ability to make great
presentations, and the drive to succeed. These are fine things to have, but they
arent sure signs of leadership ability. Look instead for the actions, decisions, and
behaviors that reveal true leadership potential:
1. What is the persons ambition? Is it clearly for a leadership role, or is it
oriented more toward making an individual contribution?
2. Does she take pride in accomplishing goals on the basis of her own ability, or
does she talk about bringing together & motivating others to achieve goals?
3. Does the person seem curious about subjects outside her area of expertise?
4. Does she have a grasp of the business & basics of money making?
5. Can the person articulate clearly the requirements for doing her bosss job
well? Her bosss job?
6. How does the person ensure that she is continually learning?
7. How well does she deliver results and what is extraordinary about the
results?
8. Does this person have an incessant drive to shape the external environment
& make progress?
9. Does she like to work with diverse, high caliber people, or does she bring
along with her to a new job the people she is comfortable with and who are
loyal to her?
10.How driven and passionate is she about leading? Is it just about talk? Or is it
realistic?
11.Is the person dealing with increasingly complex and uncertain situations and

using the occasional failure as an opportunity to learn?


12.Is there clear evidence that this person has a methodology to continue to
build new skills and hone her personality traits to achieve her dream of what
she wants to become?
