Objectives of the Study
The study is concerned with the objective of the
analyzing the training and development function of
Penta Auto Equipments Pvt. Ltd., Coimbatore. A
questionnaire was circulated to collect data on the
following aspects of objectives.

• To analyze the effectiveness of training.

• To find out the need and the kind of the training
program that employees expect.
• To find out suitable remedial measures for improving the

Research Methodology

The questionnaire was formed and was circulated
randomly among the employees at Penta Auto Equipments,
Coimbatore.

• Sample Size
The sample size was 100 respondents.

• Primary data was collected through discussion with

the employees. The secondary data was collected
from the other sources like websites, journals,
newspapers, etc.
Data Analysis

28% of the employees want to get trained due to lack of experience while the
majority i.e. 65% of the employees want to get trained for the induction of
the new technology and only 7% want to get trained due to lack of
knowledge.
Data Analysis Cont…

On the job training is mostly preferred as the workers working in production

feel it is the best way to learn. Lectures are usually required by marketing
executives, to give them a better insight of the products and different
markets.
Data Analysis Cont…

75% of the respondents have experienced training programs while the

remaining 25% are yet to get any training in the company.
The 25% who have not undergone training in the company yet are mostly
new recruits who are waiting for a training session to be arranged. 3 out of
these 25 employees however are new recruits but fairly experienced and
thus do not require training as they are thorough with their work.
Chi Square Test
CHI – SQUARE TEST IS CONDUCTED TO EXTEND THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE QUALIFICATION AND NEED
FORTRAINING:

HO: There is no significant relationship between qualification

and need for training.
H1: There is significant relationship between qualification and
need for training.

The calculated Chi-Square value is more than the critical value at

5% level of significance which reveals that the value is significant.
So, we have rejected the null hypothesis and accepted the
alternative hypothesis. This means there is a significant
relationship between qualification and need for training.
Findings
• Most of the respondents feel that training is
essential for their job.

• More than 50% of the respondents have taken part

in the training and development program of the
company.

• The induction of new technology and lack of

experience are the factors influencing to training.

• The more qualified the employees are, the less

training they require.
Suggestions
• Training should be done from time to time on the
basis of technological development in the
engineering industry.

• On the job and off the job training implemented as

per the job requirements.

• Technical and computer based training should be

conducted more, especially for employees in the
Accounts and Stores department.

• Career development programs should be done as a

part of the training programs.
