So organizations invest huge amount on the human resource capital because the performance of human resource will ultimately increase the performance of the organization (Strohmeier et. al., 2007.

effectiveness and efficiency of the organization which is helpful for the achievement of the organizational goals. But the question arise that how an employee can work more effectively and efficiently to increase the growth and the productivity of an organization. There are many factors which improves the work of the employee such as flexible scheduling, training etc. It is very necessary for the organization to design the training very carefully (Buckley, et. al., 2004). The design of the training should be according to the needs of the employees. Those organizations which develop a good training design according to the need of the employees as well as to the organization always get good results. It seems that Training design plays a very vital role in the employee as well as organizational performance. 1. Human resource conceptual overview: HRM is relatively new and developed as a part of management. It is the task of dealing with human relationships, molding and developing the human behavior and attitude towards the job and organizational requirement. The term human resource can be thought of as ―the total knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organization‘s workforce as well as the value, attitudes and beliefs of the individuals involved (Panayotopoulou et. al., 2007). The Human Resource is assuming increasing significance in modern organization. It is a well-known fact that majority of the problems in an organizational setting are human and social rather than physical, technical or economic. Modern technology can be imported, national efficiency can be improved but without human factor it cannot be possible to run both of them efficiently and effectively. It is the only human factor, which can change the work ways and constitutes vibrantly the organization. Therefore the need for development of human resources becomes inevitable (Hussain et. al., 2007. Rao, 2008. Strohmeier, Kabst, 2009). It may be conclude that views of employees and management on Training, Development and Compensation practices in industrial ceramic units of India. There is no significance difference between views of management and that of employees of ceramic units in India regarding Training, Development and Compensation practices. 2. Effectiveness of training programmes of Industry: Training and development are essential in providing employees with the right skills for their present and future jobs. The world today is constantly evolving, with customers demanding more, which in turn adds pressure to companies and their employees. Therefore, in times of recessions, decreasing the budgets of training programs is a way for companies in all industries to manage and minimize their financial losses. The purpose of this paper is to identify the will also look at the literature supporting the cost-effective practices of training and development and the methods used to evaluate training programs. In concluding the paper, a set of general recommendations is suggested for the hotel industry and the human resources department when developing cost-effective training programs (Nagi, et. al., 2008). Training and development are essential in providing employees with the right skills for their present and future jobs.

CONCLUSION:

Human Resource Development should be a continuous process in organisation. The nature of efforts and investments develop resource may vary from organisation to organisation depending on its need, nature, size, etc. This may also vary from time to time in the same organisation depending on the nature, change in the organisation is going through or the nature of capabilities the organisation wants to build within it.

Training and development is the most vital tool of human resources development. Training provides knowledge and skills required to perform the job. It is a successful method of reducing accidents, reducing waste and improved quality. Training is an art of doing the job in a correct, effective and efficient manner.
