    Te most use,ul means o, evaluating training are o'servations: ratings: trainee surveys and

    Te tird metod is trainee surveys were opinions o, te trainees are used ,or evaluation.

    Tese opinions sould not 'e used independently: since tey cannot always 'e relied on to

    TRAINING: MANTRA O' THE NEW MILLENNIUM

    In todays scenario: cange is te order o, te day and te only way to deal wit it is to learn

    and grow. Knowledge is te potent sym'ol o, te new millennium and te only way an

    organi"ation can strive to excel is to reali"e tat success today is not a ,unction o, ,inancial

    muscle or pysical assets 'ut o, competent work,orce. It is te work,orce wit ig cali'er:

    knowledge and skills tat is ard to duplicate. Employees ave 'ecome central to te

    success or ,ailure o, an organi"ationJ tey are te cornucopia o, ideas.

    Kat" and Kan ;1= ave posited tat organi"ations must ave tree 'eavioral ,eatures.

    People must be attracted not only to join the organization but also to remain in it.

    People must perform tasks for which they are hired and must do so in a dependable

    manner.

    People must go beyond this dependable role performance and engage in some form of

    creative, spontaneous and innovative behavior at work.

    Te most important aspect tat guides competitiveness in current tur'ulent markets in owcompanies gater: analy"e and use in,ormation to teir advantage. Tus IT capa'ility tat

    to adopt skill sets wit ease. Te knowledge worker o, today is in a constant pressure to

    compete wit redundancy: as knowledge and in,ormation is no longer a prerogative o, a ,ew.

    IT is a,,ecting te people: process: structure and strategy o, organi"ations. IT acts as an

    ena'ler to capture and disseminate in,ormation so tat individuals can 'ecome knowledge

    workers. Keeping tis in mind :organi"ations need to realign teir tougt process and give

    training a ,res look. Tings will never 'e te same in te e>era.

    Today it is not te aptitude tat guarantees success 'ut te attitude. Employees are 'eing

    encouraged to learn tat it is essential not to control ones emotions 'ut to manage tem and

    canneli"e tem ,or teir e,,ective use. 7orksops on emotional intelligence are Buiet

    common in te corporate arena. !ne o,,soot o, E6 training is team 'uilding. Teamwork is
