Effectiveness of Training and Development in the Indian IndustrieS

The enormous production needs of the World War I and II created a heavy influx of new workers with little or no industrial education or skills to the workplace, thereby necessitating massive training efforts that were at once fast and effective.In particular, the heavy demand for shipping construction during world war I resulted in tenfold increase in workers trained on-site instructors who were supervisor using simple force step method: show, tell, do, check.During the World War II, large numbers of trained industrial workers left their Jobs to enter the armed forces, severely limiting the organisational support normally provided by co workers in train their replacements.Heavy demands were placed on foremen and supervisors, and training within industry (TWI) service was formed to trained supervisors as the instructors.Job instruction training (JIT) was employed to train defence _ plant supervisors in instructing new employees in necessary job skills as quickly as possible.Other programs included job relations training (GRT), job methods training (GMT), and job safety training (GST).During this time, the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD) was formed.By the end of World War II most companies and organisations realized the importance of training and development as a fundamental organisational tool.
