Authors(2) :-Dr. Pulkit Agarwal, Pratiksha

Training and development are pivotal components of modern human resource management, directly impacting organizational efficiency, employee performance, job satisfaction, and long-term growth. This research paper, titled "A Comprehensive Study of Employee Training and Development at Vinit Kumar and Associates", aims to evaluate the effectiveness, adequacy, and impact of employee training and development practices within the organization. The study seeks to assess how well training programs are aligned with job responsibilities, employee goals, and overall career progression. The research is based on primary data collected from 56 respondents working at Vinit Kumar and Associates. The questionnaire used covers a broad spectrum of topics, including satisfaction with existing training programs, clarity of training objectives, alignment of training content with job roles, frequency of training participation, and the perceived impact of training on career advancement and performance. Additionally, the study investigates the effectiveness of different training delivery methods such as classroom instruction, online learning, and on-the-job training, while also examining the role of training in influencing promotions and rewards. The results indicate that a significant number of employees perceive the training programs as adequate and well-organized. Many respondents agree that training sessions are clearly communicated in advance and are relevant to their work responsibilities. A majority also feel that training has positively impacted their performance and contributed to their career growth within the organization. However, there are mixed responses regarding the role of training in influencing promotions and rewards, and some employees have expressed concerns about fairness and bias in recognition based on training outcomes. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of specific training areas such as employee safety and anti-harassment awareness, including POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) programs. The respondents also highlighted the need for greater HR involvement in evaluating and enhancing the training modules. A significant insight from the open-ended responses suggests a demand for more job-specific and soft-skill training sessions, including leadership development and technology upskilling. This research concludes that while the current training and development practices at Vinit Kumar and Associates are generally satisfactory, there is scope for improvement in areas such as feedback implementation, career-linked training integration, and ensuring transparency in reward systems. The findings provide a foundational framework for the organization’s HR department to build more dynamic, responsive, and inclusive training strategies that are better aligned with employee needs and organizational goals. The paper contributes to the growing literature on employee development in mid-sized firms and emphasizes the strategic role of human resource development in fostering employee retention, motivation, and performance enhancement.
