I need one more help... I'm an MBA HR student. I'm in my Sem IV. now as a part of the semester we need to submit a project. I chose training & development ... but i'm confused regarding the area of T&D which i should chose for my project. Plz suggest me some topics which would hold good for the current corporate scenario..

Dear Soni,
One of my trainees conducted a project on 'Employee Satisfaction'. The stages would be:
1. Conducting a Satisfaction Survey for a sample
2. Classiying and prioritizing their needs
3. Speaking to the HR and making a plan for meeting those needs.
4. Checking the results in 21 days or so, depending upon the length of the project.
Hope this helps.... :)

Hi All,

Interesting discussion...

If we were to view everything from a technical point of view then
You could say that a Mother OR a Maid bring up the Child in exactly the same manner,
after all a maid also is performing the same 'measurable' activities of feeding, playing and nappy changing.

The point is that when we deal with human issues, everything can't be measured with a scale.
Sometimes we need to believe in the process even if we can't see concrete measurable results.

I am not saying that we can do away with technical issues but we need to combine
human issues as well to get to any conclusions.

Coming to the issue of ARMY teambuilding - Being an ex Army officer let me say
that teambuilding is an inherent part of our training - living - fighting - dying.

When we operate in places like Siachen Glacier, we as officers sleep in the same hutment as our jawans who are the juniormost in the services.
Can you imagine in the Corporate World a Manager and a Worker sleeping in the same hut after they finish office.

Teambuilding has to be an Ongoing activity through a positive environment created by the Management as well as through teambuilding activities - games - interventions by internal / external consultants.
