ABSTRACT:
Recruitment is the process of identifying that the organization needs to
employ someone up to the point at which application forms for the post have
arrived at the organization. In today’s volatile and competitive market condition,
the importance of employees has increased manifold and their recruitment is the
key aspect of a modern organization.
Modern organizations has to follow the policy “RIGHT JOB TO RIGHT
PERSON” in order to increase overall productivity for that, they have to attract a
pool of skilled and talented person through a novel process of recruitment.
In order to run the organization in an effective and efficient way every
organization has to give training to the employees. Training consists of a range of
processes involved in making sure that job holders have the right skills, knowledge
and attitude required to help the organization to achieve its objectives. It is
essential that any training and development program should contain inputs which
enable participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help to acquire
vision to look into distant future. In addition to these, there is a need for giving
ethical orientation, emphasis attitudinal changes and stressing decision making and
problem solving abilities.
It is not possible for an organization to give training to the employees without
identifying their need. In identifying the needs of each employee of a particular
designation, competency mapping is done. It is basically a format where it is
mentioned what knowledge and skill a particular designation requires. Based on
the requirement every employee is given certain rating. Rating range starts from 1-
4, after rating, required status is compared with the present status and finally Gap
is identified. This helps in identifying the training need of each employee and
makes the training program successful.

1. INTRODUCTION:
The main strength of an organization is its Human resource without
which no organization can run. Recruitment of employee is the key aspect of
modern organization. Recruitment helps in increasing the overall productivity if
done in a proper way. This can be done only by attracting a pool of skilled and
talented person through a novel process of recruitment. Recruitment is the first
contract a company has with potential employee. Next to recruitment selection of
qualified and competent people is done. After an applicant has been hired, he/she is
oriented and finally placed on the job. Simply by doing so an organization cannot
run smoothly. In order to run in an efficient way the employees should be imparted
training from time to time.
Training and development program constitute the inputs which enable
the participants to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help to acquire vision
to look forward. To make a successful training program, need for training should
be identified first and based on that need training should be given. An added
advantage of this inclusive approach is that it heightens employee’s awareness of
their learning needs and helps into break down any resistance to learning new skill.
The purpose of the report is study about the recruitment process in
EMAMI Ltd, Abhoypur and how after recruiting with the help of competency
mapping the company can find out the GAP in the knowledge and the skill set
required for each designation. Based on the GAP identified training need can be
determined. This will enable the company in retaining the best people in the
organization and developing those who are below the efficiency level, which in
turn will increase the productivity of the plant. Such identification is helpful in
times of cost cutting, where limited training resource is used to close the critical
competency gaps that prevent the companies from meeting business objective. 10
The Abhoypur unit is a completely new plant. It was incorporated in the year 2007
and started its commercial production from July 2008. This unit gives special
emphasis in hygienic operation and employees training. There are 39 nos. of staff
and 25 nos. of non-staff including 250 contractual workers working at present. But
till date all training that are given to the staff, non- staff and workers are given by
preparing a yearly training calendar. No need based training has been given till
date. By this project training need of each employee will be identified based on
which training will be given. This will remove the performance deficiencies in
employee’s which will make the employees versatile in operation.

4. Recruitment Process:
The main strength of any organization lies in its human resource. It is
essential for an organization to take proper care while selecting people as they are
the main pillar. In today’s volatile and competitive market, the importance of
employee has increased manifold and their recruitment is the most important
aspect of modern organization.
Sources governing recruitment may be broadly divided as internal and
external. The nature and extent of recruitment program depends on a number of
factors, including the skills required, the state of the labor market, general
economic conditions and the image of the employer.
Modern organizations has to follow the policy of “RIGHT PERSON
FOR THE RIGHTJOB” and for that, they have to make a pool of skilled and
talented person through a novel process of recruitment.
It is a fact that while huge pool of talented workforce is available,
different corporate adopt different selection criteria to actually bring people in
board. The real challenges for an HR professional lies in attracting the suitable
candidates, conducting recruitment drive and selecting the most deserving
candidate. Companies always look forward to what best use the resource can be
put to. Most of the organization has started outsourcing the entire gamut of
recruitment to various recruitment and consultancy firm, technically known as
executive search firm. Different organization has different recruitment process,
which brings it the desired quantity and quality of manpower at minimum possible
cost.

Every organization needs to have well trained and experienced people to
perform the activities that have to be done. If the current or potential job occupant
can meet this requirement, training is not important. But when this is not the case,
it is necessary to raise the skill levels and increase the versatility and adaptability
of employees. Inadequate job performance or a decline in productivity or changes
resulting out of job redesigning or a technological breakthrough requires some type
of training and development efforts. As the job become more complex, the
importance of employee development also increases. In a rapidly changing
society, employee training and development are not only an activity that is
desirable but also an activity that an organization must commit resources to if it is
to maintain a viable and knowledgeable workforce. Training is a process of
learning a sequence of programmed behavior. It attempts to improve the
performance on the current job or prepare for an intended job. The basic purpose
for which training is given -
To increase productivity.
To improve quality.
To help a company fulfill its future personnel needs.
To improve organizational climate.
To improve health and safety.
Obsolescence prevention
Personal growth. 43
DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRAINING GIVEN TO THE EMPLOYEES AT DIFFERENT LEVEL:
Employees at different levels require training of different kinds. Unskilled workers require training in improved methods of handling machines and materials to reduce the cost of production and waste to do the job in a most economical way. Such employees are given training on the job itself; and training is given by immediate superiors.
Semi-skilled workers require training to cope with the requirements of an industry arising out of the adoption of mechanization, rationalization and technical processes. These employees are given training either in their own sections or departments, or segregated training shops where machines and other facilities are usually available. Training method include instruction in several semi-skilled operations.
Skilled workers are given training in highly sophisticated skills- as in drilling planning and host of other industrial jobs and operations.
Besides the above type of employees, others, that is the staff require training in their particular field.

6.THE NEED FOR TRAINING NEED IDENTIFICATION
A successful training program presumes that sufficient care has been taken to discover areas in which it is needed most and to create the necessary environment for its conduct. But till date no training need identification has been done. As training programs are very costly affair, and time consuming process. In order to make an effective training program a proper need based analysis should be
done to cover up the gaps. The most important step is to make a thorough analysis of the entire organization, its operations and manpower resource available in order to find out “the trouble spot” where training may be need.
For the purpose of identifying the need for training for the staff and non-staff (operators/ fitter) of the unit COMPETENCY/ SKILL GAP MAPPING is done. This map will help in identifying the gap. Competency mapping is done for the staff and skill map is done for the non- staff.
Among the 8 pillars of TPM there is one pillar name Education & Training. Competency/ skill mapping comes under this pillar. The main motive of carrying out competency mapping is to make all levels of employees effective and efficient in their designated job, which is beneficial for them as well as the organization. The format used for the mapping is prepared as per the requirement of TPM.
50
6.1COMPETENCY/ SKILL MAPPING:
Competency / Skill mapping is a format which contains what particular
knowledge, skill and attitudes of the incumbent in each position requires and
determines what knowledge, skill and attitudes he must acquire and what
alterations in his behavior he must make if he is to contribute satisfactorily to the
attainment of organizational objectives.
The format contains three categories that are Major, Medium and Minor.
This categorization makes the format very specific. Based on the requirement
every employee is given rating. The range of rating starts from 1-4.
The rating level indicates-
Level 1-Knows nothing.
Level2- Knows either theory or practical.
Level3- Knows both theory and practical.
Level4-Knows all the above and can train others.
Then the required rating is compared with the rating obtained by the
employees. This is done to find out the gap in the present status and the desired.
Identification of gap makes it easy to determine the training need.

7. DATA COLLECTION AND DATA ANALYSIS :
PROCEDURE USED FOR PREPARING THE FORMAT
Approval of the format is taken from the unit head. After finalizing
the format, the knowledge and the skill a particular designation requires in each
department is collected by analyzing the employees personally. There are 5
department in the organization out which 4 departments are taken for preparing
competency mapping and one department is taken for skill mapping. A prior
appointment was taken over phone and date was fixed up before visiting the
department. Then after preparing a final format, it was distributed to respective
department. Ratings for the employees were given by the concerned head. Final
analysis was done after all ratings are given.
Competency mapping is done for departments HR, Store, Production,
Quality Control and skill mapping is done for Maintenance department. From
the Maintenance department operators and fitters are selected. From a
total of 31 operators and fitters skill mapping is done for 10 nos. of
operators/ fitters.
53
7.1 IDENTIFING THE TRAINING NEED :
The areas where the organization needs to improve their capabilities most
is an important step in any change effort. Such a skill is helpful particularly in
times of cost cutting –where limited resources must be used to the critical
competency gaps that prevent companies from meeting business objective.
However many training programs don’t yield the desired results. The reason
for this is that they are often launched without the sufficient knowledge of where
the gaps in the employee skill exist. A good way to pinpoint these learning needs is
to survey employees department wise and evaluate the current skill levels of the
staff and the sub- staff and estimate the skill level they must reach in order to be
successful. An added advantage of this inclusive approach is that it will heightens
employees awareness of their learning need and break down any resistance to
learning new skills.
The following pages show the training need identification department wise.
This is shown with the help of bar diagrams. For the preparation of the format the
54
HR DEPARTMENT
No. of employees in the department- 3. The competency mapping
for the 3 employees is done. The below mentioned bar diagram is used
to show the gap in the present status of the employees of the department.
The format used for the analysis is attached in the Annexure-1.
Fig-1
55
INFERENCE:
The bar diagram shows that there is gap in all the criteria. That is,
required for the existing designation. If we have a look at the bar diagram we find
that gap in the Knowledge is 16.67%, Essential skill is- 12.5%, Govt. norms is-
11.77%, General HR functions is 15.71%, Payroll is 12.7% and other process is
21.62%. These gap % are obtained after comparing the required and the present
status
Now by coopering all the percentage of gaps it is found out that
maximum gaps are in-
OTHER PROCESS – Medical, Leave and travel allowances, bonus & HPF.
KNOWLEDGE- About the company & domain knowledge.
GENERAL HR FUNCTIONS.
The gap in the Payroll and Essential skill is almost same. There exist a little
difference between them. The gap in Pay roll is more than Essential skill.
Now the organization should frame proper training for fulfilling those gaps.
56
STORE DEPARTMENT:
No. of employees in the department- 4. The competency mapping for
all the staff in the department is done. The following bar diagram is used
for showing the level of gap in the employees of the department. The
format used for the analysis is attached in the Annexure -2.
Fig -2
57
INFERENCE:
The bar diagram drawn for the stores department clearly shows the
areas where the employees of the department requires training. The employees of
the department require training in all most all the criteria. The gaps the various
criteria are- Knowledge 37.5%, Essential skill 31.04 %, Inward Material Handling
31.9%, Storage 37.5, Dispensing 43.25%, Control 19.24%, Other process 31.58%.
These gap % are obtained after comparing the required and the present status.
The detailed observation of the gap percentage shows that maximum
gap areas are-
Dispensing
Storage
Knowledge
Other Process
Inward material handling
Now the organization should frame proper training for fulfilling those
gaps.
58
PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT
No. of employees in the department-8. Out of this the competency mapping for the
production supervisors are done. There are 5 production supervisors in the
department. The general format that is used for the Production department is
attached in Annexure-3
Fig -3
59
INFERENCE:
The bar diagram for the production department shows that the supervisors
have no gap in the knowledge criteria. They have gap in Essential skill, Technical
skill and other general process. The gap for Essential skill is 18.98% and technical
skill and other general process is 18.71%. These gap % are obtained after
comparing the required and the present status
By giving training in these two areas will make the supervisors perfect in
their job. The organization should now frame a proper training program for the
production supervisors.
60
QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
No. of employees in the department - 5. The competency mapping for the
staff is shown with the help of the bar diagram. The format used for this
department is attached in Annexure -4. These gap % are obtained after comparing
the required and the present status
KNOWLEDGE ESSENTIAL SKILL TECHNICAL SKILL
Fig -4
61
INFERENCE:
The bar diagram shows that the employees of the Quality Control
department requires training in both –
.Essential skills and
.Technical skill
But the requirement of training is most in essential skill. As the gap in this
area is 12.73%. This is the maximum gap in this department. The organization
should frame a proper training program for the employees of the department.
62
SUB- STAFF
(MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT)
The skill mapping for the sub- staff (operators / fitters) is done. Out of
31 nos. of sub-staff the skill mapping for 10 is done. For the sub- staff Skill
mapping is done as they require only technical skill for their job. The format used
for doing skill map is attached in Annexure -5.
Fig-5
1- KNOWLEDGE
2- ESSENTIAL SKILL, 3-TECHNICAL SKILL
63
INFERENCE:
The bar diagram shows that the sub- staff requires training in all the
criteria. None of them are fully efficient in performing their job. The figure clearly
depicts the gap in the present status of the employees. The gap identified in the
following areas is as such-Knowledge-39.29%, Essential skill-26.57%, Technical
skill- 33.92%. These gap % are obtained after comparing the required and the
present status .
Analyzing the gap percentage shows that the sub-staff requires training
mostly in-
Essential Skill
Technical Skill
The organization should now frame training program accordingly to make
the sub-staff more efficient.
64
DEPARTMENTAL COMPARISON: (Staff)
For the purpose of comparison among the staffs two common criteria
(knowledge & essential skill) from the competency mapping format for the 4
departments (HR, Store, QC and Production) were taken. It shows which
department’s employee has more gaps in their present status for the above
mentioned two criteria. This comparison is shown diagrammatically with the help
of a pie diagram.

Training is required in all the departments but the maximum
requirement is in Store and Production. As the level of gap is more in these two
departments.
67
COMPARISON BETWEEN THE STAFF AND SUB-STAFF
As the requirement of Knowledge and Essential skill is same for both the
staff and the sub- staff so for the purpose of comparison between them these two
criteria is selected from the competency/ skill mapping format. It shows among
these two levels of employee which level requires more training. This is shown
diagrammatically with the help of pie chart. Number of staff -17 & sub-staff- 10.
These gap % are ob tained after comparing the required and the present status .

8.FINDINGS AFTER ANALYSIS:
It has been seen that training pays dividends to the employees and the
organization. The need for the employee can be meet through training. It is
essential to identify the individual need and based no that need training should be
given.
For this purpose competency/ skill mapping is very useful. Company can
save money and improve its chance of success by rolling out a program targeting
the each group requires the most.
It has been seen that a particular designation requires many knowledge and
skill. They need to be master mind on them so that they are able to give training or
answer any kind of quarries.
From the survey conducted for each department it has been seen what
actually a designation requires and what it has. This helps to find out the
alteration that is required.
The study has shown that most of the employees have gap in their present
status. They need to have alteration in their knowledge, skill and attitude that is
required for performing their job. Thus training is very essential for all the level
of employees. Proper framing of training is most crucial at present. 72
9.RECOMMENDATION:
Employees at different level play a very vital role in the organization. Their
performance, satisfaction and organizational effectiveness depend on how well
employers have been identified, appointed and retained in organizations. Human
Resource policies and practices assume relevance in this context.
Recruitment is the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for jobs
from whom right person can be selected. After selection of candidate for a
particular designation is done and placed on the job, he /she need training to
perform duties effectively. Training program should be planned after identifying
the requirement where training has to be given. Based on the following analysis
and findings following recommendations have been made-
NEED BASED TRAINING:
For the well being of the employees at different level need based
training should be given. This will make training program more successful.
GAP IDENTIFICATION:
A proper identification of the areas where the gap exists is to be
determined. For doing so competency mapping of each employee designation wise
should be done.
73
FRAMING TRAINING PROGRAM:
Based on the gap identified training should be arranged. While arranging for
training at the company it should be taken into consideration that the company can
save money and improve its chances of success by rolling out a program that each
group need to improve.
SELECTING TRAINEER:
Right kind of trainer should be selected for giving training. The selected
trainer should be one who clearly understands his job and has professional
expertise.
Since training is a very costly program so it is essential to take the above
mentioned points into consideration while framing any training program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
74
10.CONCLUSION:
It can be understood from the study that training is a continuous
process and not a one shot affair, it is necessary that the training program should be
prepared with great thought and care, for it should serve the purposes of the
establishment as well as the needs of employees.
For a successful training program care has to be taken to discover
the areas in which it is needed most and to create the necessary environment for its
conduct. The selected trainer should be the one who clearly understands his job
and has professional expertise, has an aptitude and ability for teaching, possess a
pleasing personality and a capacity for leadership, is well versed in the principles
and methods of training and is able to appreciate the value of training in relation to
an enterprise.
The company now needs that a proper training program should be
framed to overcome those gaps in the present status of the employees.
