ABSTRACT
The process of financial development in India has turned effectively on the development of
banking system. The Indian banking industry is going through a transformation since 90’s, due to
the introduction of Liberalization, Privatization & Globalization (LPG), Information and
Communication Technology (ICT). The first objective of present report is to study existing status
of training and development programs in banks for their employees. The second objective is to
examine the effectiveness of training and development programs in banks for employees in
fulfillment of their duties. Present report is based on primary data collected through
questionnaire filled by the bank employees. This report clarified some suggestions to improve
training and development strategies, to cope up with the existing challenges in the wake of
severe competition in the training practices. The conclusion suggests that training and
development is inevitable in any sector.
Keywords:
Training: The aim of any training programme is to provide instruction and experience to all new
employees to help them reach the required level of performance in their jobs quickly and
economically. For the existing staff, training will help developing capabilities to improve their
performance in their present jobs, to learn new technologies or procedures, and to prepare them
to take on increased and higher responsibilities in the future.

Training in banks:
In Banks, there is a need for the continuous training and development of the employees in the
areas of customer care services on operational aspects and behavioral aspects of the business.
How are the needs identified? The training needs are judged through task analysis and
performance analysis, which can be conducted through surveys, or from the information
furnished by the heads of the departments, customer complaints, even from the reports on 360-
degree feedback system. In case of a large banks, there are two ways of conducting training
programs –
● through a recognized department having a full time HRD
● functionary who oversees all the training and development functions of the Banks or
through an external trainer coordinated by the HRD department.
These days banks have recognized the need for training and retraining their staff, to
develop a competitive edge over their competitors in delivering high quality services to
the customers.
● Traditionally, banks have hired young school leavers, and their initial training was either
long apprenticeship or on-the-job or formal training in basic routine operations.
Contenders to management position were encouraged to qualify professionally by reading
for associate-ship of the Institute of Bankers or an equivalent qualification. It was argued
that banking requires exercise of thorough training and development programs for their
employees.

INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC
Cadres decide everything! or almost everything! Only professionals and trained staff can bring
any business in the leader of their industry. This applies to bank employees too… because their
responsibility is money, moreover it is not theirs. Depending on how well employees perform
their specified job or how seriously they approach their responsibilities the wellbeing of banks
and customers depend on all these factors. Every bank tries to improve its personnel quality.
It provides seminars, training and invites experts for workshops. Training and development are
the activities that organizations use to increase the performance of its employees. Organizations
use new techniques and knowledge to improve the attitudes, skills, and techniques of the
employees to improve daily responsibilities. They are essential to every field in the business
industries are required to be successful in the business environment. Employees can keep up with
trends and technology as they change. Training and Development is a key factor in human
resource management practices. To improve an employee’s performance in an organization
training and development is an attempt; which also enhance the knowledge and skills in his/her
through learning or by changing the attitudes in employees. Among organizations training
programs have become widespread after the second world war. Nowadays in India, to perform
well, public banking sector and private banking sector are competing. In banks, nowadays
traditional HR practices are being modified into the innovative HR practices. Some changes have
also been considered with the change of economic scenario in training and development. It is
concluded that as compared to the public banking sector private banking sector are more
conscious to provide training to their employees. In a human resource development process, one
of the most important segments is training and to develop a human resource are also important in
this fast-changing environment. In a planned way, human resource development is a continuous
process; which ensure the competencies, effectiveness and motivation for the employee’s
development. To work efficiently in an organization training motivates employees. Sometimes
training also proved as a problem-solving tool in an organization. In today’s competitive world,
to fight out the challenges from other banks, an HRD department must play a more important
role in shaping the employees. For any organization both training, and development are
important. In today’s era both public and private sector banks provide learning and development
4
infrastructure. They are aimed at providing various e-lessons, training classrooms, and other
functional programs on General Banking, investment banking, rural banking, credit funding etc.
Definition:
● In the opinion of Michael Armstrong, “to perform adequately in a job or task, training is
a systematic development of the skills and knowledge which are required by an
individual”.
● In the opinion of Edwin B Filippo, “For doing a job, training is an act of enhancing the
skills and knowledge of an employee.”
● In the opinion of Dale S Beach “Training is usually considered as the organized
procedure by which people gain knowledge and increase skill for a definite purpose”.

LITERATURE REVIEW

LITERATURE REVIEW
Purohit (2018) studied the existing policies practiced in co-operative banks to appraise the level
of HRD practices, to assess the satisfaction level of employees about HRD practices particularly
Training and development & Reward and recognition of employees. In the present study
organised questionnaire via in-depth personal interviews is used to collect primary data. The
study adopted random sampling about the selection of cooperative banks. The study revealed that
training helps employees to gain better understanding in Job and this will enhance their stock of
knowledge. Extensive training providing the continuous development, such as on-the-job
training, training programmes and workshops can be a driving factor for the activities in the firm.
The present paper also suggests the ways & means by which the selected co-operative banks can
improve their high performances of work practices.
JAVED (2017) studied the training and development programs undertaken by banks for their
employees. The main objectives of the present study were to analyze effectiveness of training
and development programs for employees to discharge their duties and to study how training and
development programs helps to achieve customer satisfaction. For the study primary data was
collected through questionnaire filled by the bank employees. A sample of some employees is
selected using random sampling from different private and public banks like HDFC, AXIS Bank,
Vijaya bank, State Bank of India, and Dena Bank located in suburban area of Gurugram. It is
observed that private and public Indian banks undertake training and development programs for
their employees to increase their efficiency. Banks provide training programs to enhance their
knowledge and skills to satisfy the customers. Upliftment of Banking sector in India is the result
of skilled manpower which is the outcome of training and development.
Chandran (2017) stated that “Legal action should not be the inevitable last step in the process;
branches should be educated to evaluate this option for recovery, like any other option,
objectively before launching the same. Building up the information infrastructure at the
tremendous level first and at the lower tiers subsequently should be initiated.”
Some have focused on the information processing mechanism of the mind; it cursorily touches
upon the social psychological variables governing the organize teaching learning process.
14
Management Training-The Real Objectives views that while embarking upon a management
program, the real objective must be to focus on the individual manager and not the position in the
company.
Priyadarshini (2017) explored that the need for qualified and trainable employee is recognized
as an important factor to compete in the global market. This study was conducted to generate
information that can be used by industry, policy maker and the consultants to develop
appropriate training initiatives. The present study was based on primary data which collected
with help of questionnaire filled by certain respondents.
Ramashankar (2016) have studied that Human Resource Development (HRD) Department must
play proactive role in shaping the employees and how to fight out the challenges. The banks not
only have to make plans and policies and devise strategies but also the actual functionaries must
show competence and effectiveness in executing the said policies and strategies. The study
concluded that the employees have attended more training and development programmes,
employees strongly agreed about the necessity of training and development programmes,
majority of the employees rated trainer’s preparation as good or satisfactory, employees rated
trainers creating learning atmosphere and employees given overall rating for training
programmes.
“The expansion of banking facilities was uneven, and banks were concentrating their operations
in metropolitan cities and towns. A fairly large number of rural and urban centers with
reasonable potentialities of growth failed to attract the attention of commercial banks. As far as
the deposit mobilization in the rural areas is concerned, much remained to be done.
The training system will have to be aimed at providing professional and technical banking
education to the employees in the industry. On the job experience should be a necessary part of
the training strategy. Many have reviewed the existing the training and education system and to
examine whether the present arrangements would meet this challenge. The idea of Banking
Academy envisioned to integrate the entire training and educational programs within a
framework of interdependent units in the country is open to wide discussion by the educationists,
government authorities and the banking industry. Some had stated that “Improvement in the
systems and procedures of inspection of stocks, maintenance of stock register is required.
15
Reforms should be initiated in the extension of sponsorship schemes, recovery and consultancy.”
The immediate objective of the training should be to help the participants perform more
effectively the activities enrolls they are performing at presents. The training programs for
branch manager should be designed around the specific skills which are required by them.
Many of the problems of the banking in rural areas and the apprehensions arising from such
problem were largely due to inadequate understanding of the rural areas, activities and the
people. Even the lack of orientation in some quarters was largely due to this knowledge gap, the
gap in the information and knowledge had formed a situation where in the banking norms
developed for other sectors which were not generally relevant to the rural areas were applied
blindly.
Training needs help to identify existing training gap, what type of training can be under taken by
outside agencies, and accordingly schedule the training programs for the bank staff.”
Anand et al., (2016) analysed the influence of employee engagement practices on the
productivity of banks in Trichy region in India. Data was gathered from 124 bank employees in
the region. Data analysis was conducted using various statistical tools like chi-square test, one-
way ANOVA and regression analysis. The results indicated that factors like co-workers,
department, rewards & recognition, opportunities, team work and immediate supervisor have a
significant influence on the productivity of employees. The authors concluded that banks should
incorporate the above factors of employee engagement through effective HRM practices which
will result in increase in productivity of bank employees.
Joshi (2016) analysed the influence of HRM practices on the job satisfaction levels of employees
in selected branches of State Bank of India (SBI) in Gujarat state in India. The sample size
considered for the study was 100 using convenient sampling method. The results of the research
indicated that HRM practices influence the job satisfaction level of the employees. The study
concluded that SBI needs to make efforts to improve co-worker relations, work environment and
compensation issues to achieve job satisfaction among the employees.
Jha and Mishra (2015) studied the impact of HRM practices on performance of employees in
Indian banking industry. The authors concluded that various remedial HRM measures can be
16
taken to improve the employee performance in banks. The measures suggested include staff
meetings, brain storming sessions, study circles and quality circles.
Jyothsna& Kumar (2015) provided empirical evidence regarding the factors of performance
appraisal that influence organizational commitment and job satisfaction among private sector
bank employees in India. In this research, job satisfaction was considered as dependent variable
while elements of rater, elements of rate, environmental aspects, organizational commitment and
organizational citizenship behavior were included as independent variables. Results of regression
analysis highlighted that performance appraisal factors, organizational commitment and
organizational citizenship behavior have a significant impact and positive impact on job
satisfaction of employees in private banks in India.
Mathew (2015) examined how talent management practices were being followed by some
leading Indian organisations in India. A sample of 30 organisations (including multinational
firms) firms operating in India was chosen for the study on the basis of their international
presence, brand identity and long-term presence. A final sample of 159 human resource
professionals was approached for their responses using a web-based structured questionnaire.
The results of the research concluded that banking telecom sectors were focusing on building
talent internally whereas technology firms were found to concentrate on flexible work strategies
and outsourcing of talent. It was also concluded that leadership and succession planning were not
being seen as an integral step towards managing talent across majority of the industries.
Chinnadurai (2014) studied the HRM practices in private sector banks situated in Cuddalore
district (Tamilnadu) in India. The author had chosen the following HRM practices for the
research – recruitment & selection; training & development; performance appraisal; career
development; motivation; compensation management and grievance handling. A sample of 260
officers drawn from 52 private banks (5 officers per bank) was chosen as respondents for the
research. Data analysis was undertaken using percentage analysis; one-way ANOVA and t-test.
The results concluded that majority of the respondents were satisfied with the overall HRM
practices adopted by various private sector banks considered for the study.
17
Goel and Rana (2014) identified innovative steps in the HRM practices to increase employee
retention at YES bank using a case study approach. The case study highlighted that YES bank
had created a new paradigm in Indian banking sector through continuous innovation and
business excellence. Various innovative HRM practices at YES bank included strong work
ethics, belief in team work, understanding of customers and recognition of employee efforts.
Jeet and Sayeeduzzafar (2014) studied the impact of HRM practices on employee job
satisfaction among employees in HDFC bank using a case study approach. 52 respondents were
contacted to obtain the information regarding HRM practices in HDFC bank using a structured
questionnaire. Job satisfaction was considered as the dependent variable while training,
performance appraisal, team work, employee participation and compensation were employed as
independent variables. Results of regression analysis indicated that except performance
appraisal, all the other independent variables exhibited a significant impact on job satisfaction of
employees.
Khan and Parveen (2014) presented a comparative analysis of job satisfaction levels of
employees in public and private sectors banks in India with reference to Uttar Pradesh. The
researchers have chosen respondents from one public sector bank (Canara Bank) and one private
sector bank (ICICI Bank). Respondents from 25 branches of Canara Bank and 10 branches of
ICICI Bank were included in the research. A final sample of 425 respondents participated in the
research (225 respondents from Canara Bank and 200 employees from ICICI Bank). Salary
levels, promotion policies and training opportunities were considered as the factors that have an
influence on employee job satisfaction levels. The research concluded that job satisfaction of
employees was significantly dependent upon the salary levels, promotion policies and training
facilities. Overall, job satisfaction of the public sector employees was significantly higher than
the private bank employees in Haryana.
Lakkoju (2014) explored the nature and extent of HRM practices prevailing in Indian
commercial banking sector through a comparative analysis of State Bank of India (SBI) and
KarurVysya Bank (KVB) in Andhra Pradesh state in India. Analysis was undertaken to assess
the perceptions regarding HRM practices by managerial and non-managerial personnel in the
18
banks considered for the research. The number of managerial respondents from SBI was 132 and
KVB was 84. Similarly, the number of clerical respondents from SBI was 108 and KVB was 76
resulting in a final sample of 400 respondents. Data analysis was done using ANOVA test. The
results of the research concluded that there were significant differences in perception of
managerial and non-managerial employees in SBI. However, in KVB, it is noticed that good-
quality HRM practices prevailed as per the perception of managerial and non-managerial
employees.
Bhatt and Mehta (2013) investigated the impact of HRM climate in private sector banks in
Bhavnagar district in India. Data was collected from 100 private bank employees using a
structured questionnaire. Various practices of HRM climate – training & development;
performance appraisal, motivation & rewards; job enlargement, job enrichment & job rotation;
work stress & absenteeism; job satisfaction – have been included in the questionnaire to elicit
responses from the bank employees. The results of the study indicated that the HRM climate in
banking sector needs an improvement by modifying various HRM practices.
Chaudhary, Rangnekar and Barua (2013) investigated the HRM climate in Indian
organisations using data from 403 business executives from public and private sector firms.
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to extract six interpretable factors and confirmatory
factor analysis (CFA) was tested to provide support for the suitability of the six factors over
other existing models. The study concluded that six factors determine the effectiveness of HRM
practices in Indian manufacturing and service firms. The factors identified were – top
management belief and commitment to HRM; employee development; autonomy, openness &
authenticity; rewards, performance & potential appraisals; superior subordinate relationship and
trust; collaboration & team spirit.
Mittal and Verma (2013) assessed the perception of top management support for HRM
practices in State Bank of India. The authors also attempted to understand the perception of bank
employees towards HRM practices followed by SBI. Data was collected through a structured
questionnaire from 100 respondents using a 40- item HRM practices. The research concluded
that the perception regarding HRM practices varied according the experience of the employees.
19
Hence it was suggested that various HRM practices like performance appraisal, training, reward,
feedback mechanisms, career planning and potential appraisal need to be different for employees
with various levels of work experience.
Mohandoss (2013) investigated the job satisfaction of bank employees in Madurai city in
Tamilnadu, India. Data was collected from 300 employees belonging to both public and private
sector banks in the city. Chi-square test and percentage analysis were used for data analysis. The
results of the study indicated that gender did not have a significant influence on the level of job
satisfaction. The research also concluded that the job level of employees plays a significant role
on job satisfaction. It was highlighted that clerical employees experienced higher job satisfaction
in comparison to the managerial staff of the banks.
Ahmad (2012) studied the association between employee relations and employee unionisation in
Indian banking industry. The study included banks from both the public and private sectors. The
sample included 318 employees from unionized banks and 123 employees from nonunionised
banks. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire with 52 elements on employee
relations. Data was analysed using statistical tests like mean, standard deviation, chisquare test, t-
test and z-test on various dimensions. The analysis indicated that non-unionised bank employees
experienced higher satisfaction on all the elements except unionism and job security. The results
concluded that non-unionised employees perceived better employee relations in comparison to
unionized employees.
Bhaskar, Bhal and Mishra (2012) studied the influence of strategic HRM practices and
proactive communication during mergers and acquisitions of Indian banks. A case study
approach was used to analyse the HRM practices employed by two different banks in India (one
public sector bank and one private sector bank). The analysis indicated that in the case of the
public sector bank, the HRM practices and proactive communications were not efficiently
followed leading to a decrease in organizational performance. In case of the private sector bank,
the merger process was handled efficiently through effective HRM practices and proactive
communication. The study concluded that effective HRM practices and communication
strategies are vital for organizational success during mergers and acquisitions.
20
Jacob (2012) studied the relation between occupational stress and job satisfaction among
working women in Indian banking industry. A sample of 100 respondents (25 managers and 75
clerks) in Kerala was included in the study. The findings of the study concluded that majority of
women officers and clerks in Indian banking sector experience moderate levels of stress and
satisfaction and the relationship was found to be negatively correlated. The authors suggested
that banking industry should improve its HRM practices to reduce levels of stress which can
improve the quality of the bank employees.

CONCLUSION
Training and development practices in banks are like an oxygen to human being. The factors like
training need, training resources, perceived training, training and development objectives, latest
training needs are to be identified by the management in accordance with organizational goals
and employee needs. The required change in faculty, methodology training resource is the need
of an hour. Training is necessity in the changing environment, planned and systematic training
should be made compulsory in all private and public banks. It brings changes in behavior,
attitude at any age and helps in increasing the organizational performance. The organization
should encourage more facilities during training and off the job training, because it is one kind of
encouragement to improve the interest towards the training and development program. By
offering training, employers support the skill development of their employees. If the training is
good, then the employees will subsidize their maximum for the achievement of the
organizational objectives. The result of the present study shown that the training practices in the
selected branches of PUBLIC and PRIVATE BANKS are average and there is lot of scope for
improvement. It is concluded that the training and effectiveness programs have a positive impact
on the performance of both male and female employees but the results shows that it has a greater
impact on the performance of male employees group .This can be due to the reason that mostly
female employees bear additional responsibilities towards their families. It is found that most of
the banks have their own training institute, management attitude is very positive for training
support and budget, incentives are given for trainees, and overseas training opportunity.
However, there is a deficiency of needs assessment before training. Corporation should take
important steps in such a way that employees should feel training is essential to enhance the
productivity and customer satisfaction to meet the present challenges in India. The overall
opinion about the training conducted by the PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BANKS among the
employees is very good and effective, it is very much helpful to improve the individual career
and the organization development too and they are satisfied with the training process and method
of teaching.
