INTRODUCTION OF HRM
The Human Resources (HR) function provides significant support and advice to line management.
The attraction, preservation and development of high caliber people are a source of competitive
advantage for our business, and are the responsibility of HR.
It is therefore necessary for all managers to understand and give due importance to the different
objective
human resource policies and activities in the organization. Human Resource Management outlines
the importance of HRM and its different functions in an organization. It examines the various HR
processes that are concerned with attracting, managing, motivating and developing employees for
the benefit of the organization.
Human Resource Management (HRM) is a critical aspect of any organization. It is a strategic
approach that involves managing and developing the workforce to achieve organizational goals
and objectives. The HRM function provides significant support and advice to line management in
this regard.
Attracting, preserving, and developing high caliber people is a source of competitive advantage
for any business. This is why HRM is responsible for the recruitment, selection, retention, and
development of employees. It is the role of HRM to ensure that the organization has a skilled,
diverse, and motivated workforce that can contribute to the growth and success of the organization.
The importance of HRM cannot be overstated. It plays a key role in aligning the workforce with
the goals and objectives of the organization. HRM policies and practices are critical for attracting
and retaining the best talent, promoting employee engagement and well-being, and creating a
positive work environment.
HRM encompasses a wide range of functions that are designed to ensure that the organization has
the right people, in the right positions, at the right time. These functions include job analysis, job
design, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management,
compensation and benefits, and employee relations.

Human Resource Management ("HRM") is a way of management that links people- related
activities to the strategy of a business or organization. HRM is often referred to as "strategic
HRM". It has several goals:
 To meet the needs of the business and management (rather than just serve the interests of
employees);
 To link human resource strategies / policies to the business goals and objectives;
 To find ways for human resources to "add value" to a business;
 To help a business gain the commitment of employees to its values, goals and objectives.
Human Resource Management is a critical component of any organization's success. By effectively
managing the people within the organization, HRM can contribute to the overall strategy and
bottom line of the business. This means that HRM is not just about hiring and firing employees,
but rather, it is a strategic approach to managing the workforce.
One of the primary goals of HRM is to meet the needs of the business and management. This
means that HR professionals must work closely with management to understand their objectives,
goals and vision for the organization. They must then develop human resource strategies and
policies that align with those goals and objectives.
Another key goal of HRM is to find ways for human resources to "add value" to the business. This
can be achieved by hiring and retaining top talent, developing employee skills and knowledge, and
creating a positive and engaging work environment. By doing so, HRM can help the organization
become more competitive, increase productivity and profitability, and achieve sustainable growth.
Moreover, HRM plays a crucial role in helping the business gain the commitment of employees to
its values, goals, and objectives. This involves creating a culture that fosters employee
engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty. HR professionals must ensure that employees are motivated
and inspired to contribute to the success of the organization.
Overall, HRM is a complex and dynamic field that requires a strategic approach to managing the
workforce. By linking people-related activities to the strategy of the organization, HRM can help
organizations achieve their goals and objectives, while also ensuring that employees are valued,

engaged, and committed to the success of the business
Evolution of HRM
Earlier references:
In western countries HRM had its primitive beginning in 1930s. Not much thought was
given on this subject in particular and no written records or documents interesting to note HRM
concepts was available, in ancient philosophies of Greek, Indian and Chinese. This is not to suggest
that industrial establishment and factories system, as it is known today, existed in ancient Greece,
India or china. The philosophy of managing human being, as a concept was found developed in
ancient literatures in general and in Indian philosophy in particular.
As the industrial revolution took place, the need for managing people in the workplace
became more prominent. However, it wasn't until the 1930s that the concept of HRM emerged in
the western countries. At that time, the focus was primarily on personnel administration and
maintaining records of employee information.
In ancient times, the idea of managing human beings was already present in different
cultures and philosophies. The Greeks, for instance, emphasized the importance of developing
virtues and cultivating moral character in individuals. In India, the concept of karma and dharma
played a significant role in shaping the philosophy of human management. In China, Confucianism
promoted the idea of moral and ethical leadership, which emphasized the importance of treating
subordinates with respect and dignity.
As businesses grew and expanded, there was an increasing need for effective management
of human resources. With the emergence of scientific management principles in the early 20th
century, the focus shifted to optimizing work processes and increasing efficiency. This led to the
development of various theories and models of management, such as Taylorism and Fayolism.

10
During the post-World War II era, HRM underwent significant changes as organizations
became more complex and diversified. The emphasis shifted from administrative tasks to a more
strategic approach, focusing on issues such as recruitment, retention, training, and development of
employees. The field of HRM continued to evolve in the following decades, with the introduction
of new technologies and globalization leading to new challenges and opportunities.
Today, HRM has become an integral part of organizational strategy and plays a critical role
in achieving business goals. The focus is on developing and managing a diverse workforce,
creating a positive work culture, and promoting employee engagement and well-being. With the
increasing use of data and analytics, HRM has become more data-driven and evidence-based,
enabling organizations to make informed decisions and optimize their human resources.
Moving ahead, with the industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, the need for
efficient management of labor became increasingly important. The focus shifted from managing
human beings as individuals to managing them as a group or a resource. During this period, the
first personnel departments were established in factories to manage labor relations, wages, and
other personnel-related matters.
In the early 20th century, the field of personnel management began to take shape as a
recognized profession. Scientific management principles were introduced by Frederick Winslow
Taylor, who believed that work could be analyzed and broken down into simple, repeatable tasks
to increase efficiency. This approach led to the development of job analysis, job design, and
compensation systems.

11
During World War II, personnel management became a critical function for military
operations. The war effort required the recruitment and training of millions of people, and
personnel managers were tasked with the responsibility of managing this massive effort. This led
to the development of many of the practices that are still used today in HRM, such as recruitment
and selection, training and development, and performance management.
In the 1960s, the Civil Rights Act and other legislation prohibited discrimination in the
workplace based on race, gender, age, and other factors. This led to the development of equal
employment opportunity policies and practices, which are now a critical component of HRM.
In the latter part of the 20th century, the field of personnel management evolved into human
resource management. This was driven by a focus on strategic management and the recognition
that people are a critical resource for organizations. HRM practices became more sophisticated
and strategic, focusing on issues such as talent management, workforce planning, and employee
engagement.
Today, HRM continues to evolve, with a growing focus on technology, globalization, and
diversity and inclusion. The use of HR analytics and artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly
common, and HR professionals are playing a critical role in shaping organizational culture and
strategy. The evolution of HRM is a reflection of the changing needs of organizations and the
recognition that people are their most important asset.

12
Personnel functions:
Till 1930s, it was not felt necessary to have a separate discipline of management called
“Personnel management”. In fact, this job was assigned as part of the factory manager. Adam
Smith’s concept of factory was that it consists of three resources, land, labour and capital. This
factory manager is expected to “procure,
Process and peddle” labour as one of the resources. The first time when such a specialist “person”
was used; it was to maintain a “buffer” between employer and employee to meet the “legitimate
need” of employees. However, it is the employer who decided what “legitimate need” of
employees is. In fact, the specialist “person” was more needed to prevent “unionization” of
employees. This was the case before 1930-s all over the world.
Environmental Influences on HRM:
Since 1930s, certain developments took place, which greatly contributed, to the evolution and
growth of Human Resources Management (HRM). These developments are given below:
1. Scientific Management
2. Labour Movements
3. Government Regulations.
Scope of Human Resource Management
The Scope of HRM is indeed fast. All major activities in the working life of worker from
time of his entry in an organization until he / she leaves, come under the preview of HRM.
Specifically, the activities included are Human Resource planning, Job analysis and design,
Recruitment, Selection, Orientation and placement, Training and development, Performance
appraisal and Job evaluation, employee and executive remuneration and communication,
employee welfare, safety and health, industrial relations and the like. HRM is becoming a
specialized branch giving rise to a number of specialized areas like:
 Staffing
 Welfare and Safety
 Wages and Salary Administration
 Training and Development

13
Training Education and Development
Training:
This activity is both focused upon, and evaluated against, the job that an individual currently holds.
Education:
This activity focuses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold in the future, and is
evaluated against those jobs.
Development:
This activity focuses upon the activities that the organization employing the individual, or that the
individual ispart of, maypartake inthe future,and isalmostimpossibleto evaluate.
The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes. The sponsors
of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training and development are
business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching, resources, and performance. The
participants are those who actually undergo the processes. The facilitators are Human Resource
Management staff. And the providers are specialists in the field. Each of these groups has its own
agenda and motivations, which sometimes conflict with the agendas and motivations of theothers.
The conflicts are the best part of career consequences are those that take place between employees
and their bosses. The number one reason people leave their jobs is conflict with their bosses. And
yet, as author, workplace relationship authority, and executive coach, Dr. John Hoover points out,
"Tempting as it is, nobody ever enhanced his or her career by making the boss look stupid."
Training an employee to get along well with authority and with people who entertain diverse points
of view is one of the best guarantees of long-term success. Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't
compensate for a sour relationship with a superior, peer, or customer.

IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
 OPTIMUM UTILIZATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES- Training and development
programs are essential for organizations to optimize the utilization of their human
resources. These programs equip employees with the skills and knowledge required to

METHODS OF TRAINING
There are various methods of training, which can be divided in to cognitive and behavioral
methods. Trainers need to understand the pros and cons of each method, also its impact on trainees
keeping their background and skills in mind before giving training. The various methods that come
under cognitive approach are:
LECTURE- A method training
Lecture is one of the oldest and most widely used training methods. It involves the trainer providing
information to the trainees on a specific topic. The lecture can be given in either an oral or printed
form. This method is particularlyuseful when the goal is to create an understanding of a specific topic
or influence the behavior or attitudes of the trainees. It is also a useful method when the topic is
complex and requires a detailed explanation. However, one of the limitations of this method is that it
is often a one-way communication, with the trainer doing most of the talking, and the trainees being
passive recipients of the information. To make this method more effective, trainers can use interactive
tools such as audiovisual aids and encourage trainees to ask questions and provide feedback.
DEMONSTRATION TRAINING METHOD
The demonstration training method involves showing trainees how to perform a task or how something
works. This can be done through a live demonstration or through a video. This method is particularly
useful when the task is complex or when the trainees need to learn a new skill. The trainer should ensure
that the demonstration is clear and concise and that the trainees have a clear understanding of what they
need to do. The demonstration method can be made more effective by incorporating the discussion or
lecture method. Trainees can be encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback on the
demonstration.

20
DISCUSSION TRAINING METHOD
The discussion training method involves a two-wayflow of communication between the trainer and the
trainees. The trainer provides a lecture to the trainees, and this is then supported, elaborated, explained,
or expanded on through interactions among the trainees and between the trainer and the trainees. This
method is particularly useful when the goal is to encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and
decision-making skills. It allows trainees to share their experiences, opinions, and knowledge on a
specifictopic.This methodcan bemademoreeffectivebyensuringthat thediscussionis well-structured
andfocusedonthelearningobjectives.Thetrainercan alsoact as afacilitator, encouragingparticipation,
and guiding the discussion to ensure that the learning objectives are met.
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING
On-the-job training (OJT) is a method of training where the trainee learns by doing the actual job under the
supervision of a more experienced worker. This method is particularly useful when the job requires hands-on
training and when there is a need to transfer knowledge and skills from experienced workers to new
employees. OJT can be informal or formal and can be structured to meet the learning objectives. The
advantage of this method is that it allows the trainee to learn in a real-life setting, and the trainer can provide
immediate feedback and support.
ROLE-PLAYING
Role-playing is a training method where trainees act out scenarios that simulate real-life situations. This
method is particularly useful when the goal is to develop interpersonal skills such as communication,
negotiation, and conflict resolution. Role-playing allows trainees to practice these skills in a safe and
controlled environment, receive feedback, and improve their performance. This method can be made more
effective byensuring that the scenarios are realistic and relevant to the trainees' job roles.
CASE STUDIES
Case studies are a training method where trainees analyze and discuss real or hypothetical scenarios. This
method is particularly useful when the goal is to develop analytical and problem-solving skills. Case studies
allow trainees to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world situations and make decisions based on the
information provided. This method can be made more effective by ensuring that the case studies are relevant
to the trainees' job roles and that the discussion is well-structured and focused on the learning objectives.

21
SIMULATIONS
Simulations are a training method where trainees participate in a computer-based or virtual reality scenario
that simulates real-life situations. This method is particularlyuseful when the job requires specialized skills or
when the work environment is hazardous or complex. Simulations allow trainees to practice skills and
decision-making in a safe and controlled environment, receive feedback, and improve their performance.

22
INPUTS USED FOR TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENTS IN PARLE-G
COMPANY NAGPUR
Any training and development program must contain inputs which enable the participants to gain
skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look into distant future. In addition to
these, there is a need to impart ethical orientation, emphasize on attitudinal changes and stress
upon decision-making and problem-solving abilities.
Skills
Training, as was stated earlier, is imparting skills to employees. A worker needs skills to ope rate
machines, and use other equipments with least damage or scrap. This isa basic skill without which
the operator will not be able to function. There is also the need for motor skills. Motor skills refer
to performance of specific physical activities. These skills involve training to move various parts
of one’s body in response to certain external and internal stimuli. Common motor skills include
walking, riding a bicycle, tying a shoelace, throwing a ball and driving a car. Motor skills are
needed for all employees – from the clerk to the general manager. Employees, particularly
supervisors and executives, need interpersonal skills popular known as the people skills.
Interpersonal skills are needed to understand one self and others better, and act accordingly.
Examples of interpersonal skills include listening, persuading, and showing an understanding of
others’ feelings.
Education
The main purpose of Parle-G Comapny NAGPUR is to provide education to teach theoretical
concepts and develop a sense of reasoning and judgment. That any training and development
program must contain an element of education is well understood by HR specialist. Any such
program has university professors as resource persons to enlighten participants about theoretical
knowledge of the topic proposed to be discussed. In fact organizations depute or encourage
employees to do courses on a part time basis. Chief Executive Officers (CEO’s) are known to
attend refresher courses conducted by business schools. Education is important for managers and
executives than for lower-cad reorders.

23
Development
Another component of a training and development is development which is less skill oriented but
stressed on knowledge. Knowledge about business environment, management principles and
techniques, human relations, specific industry analysis and the like is useful for better management
of the company.
Ethics
There isneed for imparting greater ethical orientation to a training and development program. There
is no denial of the fact that ethics are largely ignored in businesses. Unethical practices abound in
marketing, finance and production function in an organization. They are less see and talked about in
the personnel function. If the production, finance and marketing personnel indulge in unethical
practices the fault rests on the HR manager. It is his/her duty to enlighten all the employees in the
organization about the need of ethicalbehavior.

enduring customer relationships are the core endeavors at Parle.
The company's promotional ventures, such as "My Dream Come True" campaign, which gave
contestants a chance to fulfill their dreams, have been hugely successful. Parle also offers various
discounts and gift schemes to keep its customers engaged and happy.
Parle's journey began in 1929 when it was established in the British colony of India. In 1947, the
company underwent a major transformation as it shifted its focus from sweets to biscuits. Since then,
Parle has been expanding its product range and reach. The company has a vast distribution network
that comprises over 3,500 wholesalers and more than 1.5 million retail outlets across India.
Apart from its domestic operations, Parle has a strong presence in over 60 countries worldwide. The
company exports its products to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and several African
and Asian countries. Parle has established itself as a global player in the biscuit and confectionery
industry.
Parle's success is not only due to its quality products and innovative marketing strategies but also its
commitment to social responsibility. The company has been actively involved in various social
initiatives such as building schools, hospitals, and other infrastructure in underprivileged areas. Parle
also supports several NGOs and charities that work for the betterment of society.
Parle Products has also made significant contributions to the Indian economy. The company has
created employment opportunities for thousands of people in India, including in remote and rural
areas. Parle has also played a role in boosting the agricultural sector by sourcing raw materials like
wheat and sugar from local farmers. In addition, the company has invested in various social initiatives,

over 60 countries worldwide. The company has also diversified its product range to include snacks,
beverages, and baked goods. Some of its popular brands include Parle-G, Monaco, KrackJack, Hide
& Seek, and Frooti.
In recent years, Parle Products has faced challenges in the highly competitive Indian market. The
company has had to adapt to changing consumer preferences, such as a growing demand for healthier
snacks and increased competition from foreign brands. However, Parle has continued to innovate and
introduce new products to stay relevant.
Parle Products has a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, and they have initiated
many programs to help society. The company runs Parle-G Swasthya, a health initiative aimed at
providing basic healthcare and nutrition education to underprivileged children in remote areas. The
Parle Bake Academy is a program aimed at helping the unemployed and underprivileged youth to
learn baking and find employment. The company also runs the Parle Clean-Up program, an initiative
aimed at keeping the environment clean.
In addition to its commitment to social responsibility, Parle Products has also received numerous
awards and recognitions for its business practices. In 2021, Parle-G was ranked as the most trusted
biscuit brand in India by the Brand Trust Report. The company has also received awards for its
advertising campaigns, including the Effie Award for its "Naam toh suna hi hoga" campaign and the
Cannes Lion for its "Parle-G kid" campaign.
Parle Products has also expanded its operations beyond India and now exports its products to over 60
countries worldwide. The company has established manufacturing facilities in countries such as
Nigeria, Ghana, and Nepal, to cater to the growing demand for its products in these regions.
Furthermore, Parle Products has also ventured into the field of snacks, with the introduction of brands
like Monaco, KrackJack, and Hide and Seek. The company has also introduced a range of premium
biscuits under the brand name Parle Platina, targeting the premium biscuit segment.
In conclusion, Parle Products has come a long way since its inception, and it continues to be a
dominant player in the Indian food and beverage industry. With its commitment to quality, innovation,
and social responsibility, the company has established a strong brand image and a loyal customer base.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The Research methodology refers to the systematic approach used by researchers
to gather and analyze data in order to understand a phenomenon or issue. It comprises of a set of
procedures and techniques that researchers use to conduct their studies. This section outlines the
research definition, design, and data sources used in the study.
RESEARCH DEFINITION:
According to Creswell, research is a process that involves steps used to collect and analyze
information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue. The research process involves three
steps: formulating research questions, collecting data to answer the research questions, and
presenting an answer to the research questions. In this study, the research question focuses on
analyzing the motivation level of employees.
Research Design:
Descriptive research is a non-experimental research method used to describe the characteristics of
a population or phenomenon being studied. It involves collecting data in order to answer questions
about the current status of the subject of the research. Descriptive research can be used to answer
questions about the frequency of occurrence, the characteristics of a particular population or group,
or the relationships between different variables. In this study, the aim of the descriptive research
design is to analyze the different parameters related to employee motivation and to establish the
relationship between them.
Data Sources:
