1) In-Basket Exercise: Also known as the In-tray method of training. The trainee is presented with a pack of papers and files in a tray containing administrative problems and is asked to make decisions on these problems within a stipulated time. The decisions taken by the trainees are compared with one another. Feedback is provided to the trainees on their performance.
2) Cases: Present an in-depth description of a particular problem an employee might encounter on the job. The employee attempts to find and analyze the problem, evaluate alternative courses of action, and decide which course of action would be most satisfactory.
3) Management Games: The game is devised based on a model of a business situation. The trainees are divided into groups representing the management of competing companies. They make decisions just as they would in real-life situations. The decisions made by the groups are evaluated, and the likely implications of the decisions are provided as feedback to the groups. The game is conducted in several rounds to consider the time dimension.
4) T-group: It is a technique of off-the-job training methods. It is a group experience designed to provide maximum opportunity for individuals to expose their behavior, give and receive feedback, experience new behaviors, and develop self-awareness and awareness about others. T-group training is also known by several names such as sensitivity training, action training, human capacity movement, group dynamics, and awareness expertise.
