Abstract

Over the years, the rise of global competitiveness all across trades has led the need of essential development of talent in organizations. The dynamic nature of businesses has led to more agile manufacturing. The textile and apparel manufacturing industry is one of highest foreign exchange earners for India. At a global level, India is behind China as a manufacturer. Availability of suitable skills for the textile and apparel manufacturing sectors aggravates the problems of the workforce. Therefore, there is a great need to pay attention to develop the human resources and concentrate on the availability of trained and developed manpower to achieve the organizational objectives. Training Needs Analysis (TNA) helps in assessing any gaps in the current training initiatives and identification of skill sets necessary for the growth of employees. These gaps can be analysed and incorporated in the initiatives for effective training in an organization. The research is based on the responses of 40 HR personnel/s from vertically integrated textile and apparel manufacturing organizations based in SAS nagar, Ludhiana industrial regions of Punjab. Structured questionnaire at five point Likert Scale was used as the research tool. Statistical analysis through descriptive statistics and chi-square test was used to analyse the findings. The findings indicated that the respondents agreed that the variables associated with Individual analysis, task analysis and organizational analysis played a statistical significant role in determining Training needs analysis in the surveyed organizations.
