A STUDY ON TRAINING AND EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT IN INDIAN BANK WITH SPECIAL REFERENVE TO COIMBATORE CITY

This study investigates the effectiveness of training and development programs within the Indian banking sector, with a focus on Coimbatore city. Drawing from a comprehensive review of literature, the research aims to assess current training practices, identify challenges and opportunities, and examine the impact of training on employee performance and job satisfaction. A mixed-methods approach is employed, utilizing structured surveys to gather quantitative data from a stratified random sample of bank employees. The study findings reveal a predominantly youthful workforce within the banking sector and notable dissatisfaction with current training programs. While many employees perceive alignment between training and job requirements, challenges such as limited time availability and insufficient training facilities hinder participation. Recommendations include the adoption of tailored training approaches, pre and post-training evaluation, incentivizing participation, enhancing program quality, and regular review and adaptation. By addressing these challenges and implementing suggested recommendations, Indian banks in Coimbatore can enhance their training practices and better equip employees for success in a dynamic banking landscape.
