CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Employee Training is distinct from management or Executive Development. While the
former refers, training is given to employees in areas of operations, techniques and allied
areas, while the latter refers to developing an employee in areas of important techniques
of the Management Administration, Organization and allied areas.
Training means to continuously nurture the employees or workers towards better

performance in a systematic way. This can be either at the work spot or at the workshops.
This is mainly to improve the technical skills of the employees or workers.
Development means bringing out the actual potentialities and thus willing to high
motivation and commitment standards towards work. This will be generally with regard
to improvement in the behavioral skills.
CONCEPT OF TRAINING
INTRODUCTION
Every organization needs to have well-trained and experienced people to perform the
activities that have to be done. So, every modern Management has to develop Human
Resources Development. In a rapidly changing society, employee training is not only an
activity that an organization must arrange if it is to maintain a viable and knowledgeable
workforce. Training is thus a practical and vital necessity.
MEANING
Training is the process of increasing the knowledge and skill of an employee for doing a
particular job. Training is short-term educational process and utilizing a systematic and
organized procedure by which employees learn knowledge and skills for a definite
purpose. Training improves, moulds, changes the employee’s knowledge, skills,
behavior, aptitude and attitude towards the requirement of the job and organization.
OBJECTIVES OF TRAINING
 Training is mainly job-oriented.
 To impart the basic knowledge and skill to the new entrants and enable them to
perform their jobs well.
 To teach the employees the new techniques and ways of performing the jobs and
operations.
 To prepare the employees for higher level task and build up a second line of
competent officers.
NEED FOR TRAINING

Training is considered as a key input for developing manpower in an organization so as
to improve their job performance.
The need for training arises on account of the following reasons:
 To match the employee specifications with the job requirements and
organizational needs.
 Organizational viability and transformation process.
 Latest technological advances should be adopted i.e., mechanization,
computerization and automation.
 Internal mobility from one job to another due to promotion and transfer to
employees.
IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING
Training is an important process of imparting knowledge to the employees. It helps in
improving productive and behavioral pattern. Training is advantageous not only to the
organization but also to the employees. Training is vital and necessary activity in all
organizations. It plays a large part in determining the effectiveness and efficiency of the
establishment.

BENEFITS OF TRAINING PROGRAMME

A well-planned and executed Training Programme can provide the following
developments:
 Higher productivity and profitability.
 Better quality of work and best work methods.
 Less wastage of time during the learning period.
 Improves high morale among the employees
 Personal growth of individuals.
 Low accident rates.
 Improves employer – employee relations.
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
The principles, which have been evolved, can be followed as guidelines to trainees. Clear
objectives about the Training Programme are:
 Training policy for designing and implementing the training programme.
 Acquisition of knowledge and new skills through motivation.
 Reinforcement to trainees by means of awards and punishments.
 Organized material should be properly prepared and provided to the trainees.
 Learning periods has to be fixed as it takes time to learn.
 Preparing he instructor who is both good at subject and job.
 Feedback regarding the performance of the trainees in the jobs.
 Practicing the skills taught by the trainee.
 Appropriate techniques related to the needs and objectives of the organization.
METHODS OF TRAINING
Training is essential for the smooth economic timely and efficient service of the
organization.
Training methods or techniques represents the medium of imparting skills and knowledge
to the employees.
There are two methods of training:
1. On-the-job training methods
2. Off-the-job training methods
ON THE JOB TRAINING
This method is also called as “Internal Training Method”. This is suitable for all levels of
employees – workers, supervisors and executives.
In this method, the employee gets training on the job and at the work place it self the
trainee learns while he/she is actually engaged in doing a job. This method is called as
“learning by doing”.
Several methods are used to provide on-the-job training. They are:
• Job rotation
• Coaching
• Job instruction
• Committee assignments
OFF THE JOB TRAINING

This method is also called as “External Training Methods”. These methods are designed
and intended to impart training by supplying required knowledge and skill to the
employees away from the job and work place. This is an opportunity for freedom of
expression for the trainees.
Several methods are used to provide off-the-job training. They are:
• Vestibule training
• Role – playing
• Lecture method
• Conference or Group Discussion method
• Programmed instruction
TYPES OF TRAINING
Training is required for several purposes. Accordingly, training programme may be of the
following types:
o Orientation training
o Job training
o Safety training
o Promotional training
o Refresher training
o Remedial training
o Individual training
o Team training
o Business training
o Executive training
ASSESSMENT OF TRAINING NEEDS

Training activities must be related to the specific needs of the organization and the
individual employees. A Training Programme should be launched only after the training
needs are assessed clearly and specifically.
The effectiveness of a Training Programme can be judged only with the help of training
needs identified in advance. In order to identify the training needs, a gap between the
existing and required levels of knowledge, skills, performance and aptitudes should be
specific. The problem areas that can be resolved through training should also be
identified.
Training needs can be identified through the following types of analysis:

 Organizational Analysis
 Task or Role Analysis
 Job Analysis
 Man Analysis
Training programme, training methods and course content are to be planned on the basis
of training needs. Training needs are those aspects necessary to perform the job in the
organization in which employee lacks aptitude/attitude, knowledge and skill.
The following methods are used to assess the Training Needs:
i. Organizational requirements/weaknesses
ii. Departmental requirements/weaknesses
iii. Job specification and Employee specification
iv. Identifying the specific problems
v. Anticipating the future problems
vi. Management’s request
vii. Observation
viii. Interviews
ix. Group Conferences
x. Questionnaire surveys
xi. Test
xii. Check lists
xiii. Performance appraisal time
These are essential when technical are special information of complex nature is to be
imparted. The lectures are supplemented with discussion film, case studies and role-
playing.
DESIGNING A TRAINING PROGRAMME

In order to achieve the training objectives, an appropriate Training Policy is necessary. A
training policy represents the commitment of top management to employee training. It
consists of rules and procedures concerning training.
A Training Policy is required:

a. To indicate the company’s intention to develop its employees.
b. To guide the design and implementation of the Training Programmes.
c. To identify the critical areas where training is to be given on priority basis.
d. To provide appropriate opportunities to employees for their own betterment.
EVALUATION OF THE TRAINING PROGRAMME

The effectiveness of an investment in training in needed to be appraised as so much of
money is invested in a Training Programme. Management needs to be reassured about the
effectiveness of a particular method, instruction, the relation between training cost,
proved productivity, general efficiency and effectiveness of a course.
CONCEPT OF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
Executives are the most valuable assets of any organization. The manager or executive is
the dynamic life-giving element in an organization. The success and growth of an
organization depends largely on the caliber and performance of its executives. Therefore,
systematic and continues efforts are necessary to prepare executives who can successfully
meet the challenges of the present and future.
MEANING
‘Executive Development’ is also called as Management Development.
It is a systematic approach of learning and growth by which managerial personnel gain
and apply knowledge, skills, attitudes and insights to manage the work in their
organizations effectively and efficiently. Executives learn conceptual knowledge,
theoretical knowledge and managerial skills in an organized manner. It is largely self –
development.
OBJECTIVES OF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT

The Management Development programmes are organized with a view to achieving
specific objectives. They are:
 To improve the performance of managers at all levels in their present jobs.
 To prepare managers for the higher jobs in future.
 To provide opportunities to executives to fulfill their career aspirations.
 To understand the problems of human relations and improve human relations
skill.
 To stimulate creative thinking.
NEED OR IMPORTANCE OF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT

Executive Development is the programme by which executive’s capacities to achieve
desired objectives are achieved. No organization can be successful in the long run
without a planned approach to the development of its managerial persons. The following
factors emphasize the need for Executive Development programmes:
 Growth and size of the organizations.
 Technological and social changes.
 Recognition of social and public responsibilities.
 Growth of International Business.
 Re-awakening of ethical and moral values.
PRINCIPLES OF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT

 The Top Management should accept responsibility for getting the policy of
executive development.
 Executive Development programmes must be geared to the needs of the company
and the individuals.
 Executive Development starts with the selection of the right man for the executive
positions.
 A realistic timetable or time schedule for the development of executives should be
prepared keeping in view the present and future needs of the organization.
 Learner’s participation is essential for development. It brings significant growth.
 Feedback should be made available to the learner so that steps can be taken to
improve.
 An organizational climate conductive to executive development should be
created.
TECHNIQUES OF EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
There are mainly two types of techniques by which managers can acquire the knowledge,
skills and attitudes, which make themselves competent managers. They are:
1. On-the-job development techniques
2. Off-the-job development techniques
ON THE JOB DEVELOPMENT

In these techniques, the motivation to learn is high as training takes place in the real job
situation. The important techniques are:
• Coaching
• Understudy
• Position rotation
• Project assignment
• Committee assignment
• Selective readings
OFF THE JOB DEVELOPMENT

In these techniques, the executives have to learn in their work place or office and devote
their entire time to the development objective. The important techniques are:
• Case study method
• Incident method
• Role – playing
• Group discussions
• Management games
• Sensitivity training
• Simulation method
• Conference method
• Lecture method

ORGANIZATION PROFILE
This chapter gives detailed information about the Industry Profile – Wind Industry,
Organizational Profile – Vestas Wind Technology Private Limited and Performance
Management System in Vestas Organization
INDUSTRY PROFILE – WIND INDUSTRY
Introduction
Wind power is produced by the conversion of wind energy into more useful forms,
usually electricity, using wind turbines. In windmills (a much older technology), wind
energy is used to turn mechanical machinery to do physical work, such as crushing grain
or pumping water. Most modern wind power is generated in the form of electricity by
converting the rotation of turbine blades into electrical current by means of an electrical
generator.
Wind power is used in large scale wind farms for national electrical grids as well as in
small individual turbines for providing electricity to rural residences or grid-isolated
locations
Wind energy is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and reduces toxic
atmospheric and greenhouse gas emissions if used to replace fossil-fuel-derived
electricity. The intermittency of wind seldom creates problems when using wind power at
low to moderate penetration levels
At the end of 2006, world wide capacity of wind-powered generators was 74,223 MW,
although it currently produces less than 1% of the world-wide electricity use, it accounts
for approximately 20% of electricity use in Denmark, 9% in Spain and 7% in Germany.
Globally, wind power generation is more than quadrupled between 2000 and 2006.
WIND SITE REQUIREMENTS
 Grid availability.
 Accessibility for commissioning.
 Strong terrain / soil for proper foundation / civil work
 Favorable environmental condition to prevent corrosion & not prone to cyclone.
Financial Benefits
• Operation and maintenance costs are low.

• Zero input fuel cost.
• Pay back in shorter duration.
• Cost of generation is almost zero after pay back period.
• Zero import duty on certain parts.
• Tax holidays for newer power projects for 5 years.
WIND INDUSTRY IN INDIA
Energy is a major input for overall socio-economic development. Use of fossil fuels is
expected to fuel the economic development process of a majority of the world population
during the next two decades. However, at some time during the period 2020-2050, fossil
fuels are likely to reach their maximum potential, and their price will become higher than
other renewable energy options on account of increasingly constrained production and
availability. Therefore, renewables are expected to play a key role in accelerating
development and sustainable growth in the second half of the next century, accounting
then to 50 to 60% of the total global energy supply.
After the creation of a separate Ministry in 1992, special emphasis was given in the
Eighth Plan to generation of grid quality power from renewables. The total installed
capacity of power from renewables today stands at nearly 1350 MW with contribution
from wind power of nearly 1000 MW.
Wind power installations worldwide have crossed 8500 MW producing about 14 billion
KWh of energy annually. A total capacity of about 5500 MW has been installed in
Europe, 1700 MW in USA, and 992 MW in India. India is now the fourth largest wind
power generator in the world after Germany, USA and Denmark.
The State of the World 1998, a world-watch Institute Report on progress toward a
sustainable society, released earlier this year, has noted that renewable energy production
in the world is expanding rapidly. Wind generation is the fastest growing energy source
in this decade and is expanding at 25% per year. The Report recognizes India as a new
"Wind Superpower". With declining trend of cost and increase in the scale of wind
turbine manufacturing, wind promises to become a major power source globally in the
first few decades of the new millennium.
MNES (Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources) are implementing the world's

largest wind resource assessment program, which forms the backbone of their wind
exploitation efforts. Preliminary estimates indicate a potential of about 20,000 MW.
Scientific surveys are being intensified to identify specific viable and potential sites. A
recent study undertaken to re-assess the potential, places it at about 45,000 MW.
Assuming a grid penetration of 20%, a technical potential of about 9,000 MW is already
available for exploitation in the potential States. 160 sites have so far been identified in
13 States. The States of Rajasthan and West Bengal have also shown wind potential
recently.
Today, we have a wind power installed capacity of 992 MW in the country, out of which
about 940 MW is accounted for by commercial installations. About 3.5 billion units of
electricity have been fed to the grid so far. A good local production base for wind
turbines now exists in the country, with 15 manufacturing companies active in this sector.
Today, the capital cost of wind power projects range between Rs. 4 to 5 crores per MW.
This gives a levelised cost of energy generation in the range of Rs. 2.00 to Rs. 2.50 KWh,
taking into consideration the fiscal benefits extended by the Government.
The government has introduced a package of incentives which includes tax concessions
such as 100% accelerated depreciation, tax holidays for power generation projects, soft
loans, customs and excise duty relief’s, liberalized foreign investment procedures, etc.
ADVANTAGES OF WIND POWER
Wind turbines of all sizes have become a familiar sight around the world for a wide
variety of reasons, including their economic, environmental, and social benefits. The
potential for wind energy is immense, and experts suggest wind power can supply up to
20% of U.S. and world electricity. Nevertheless, the United States currently produces less
than 1% of our electricity from wind.
1. ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES:
• Revitalizes Rural Economies: Wind energy can diversify the economies of rural
communities, adding to the tax base and providing new types of income. Wind
turbines can add a new source of property taxes in rural areas that otherwise have
a hard time attracting new industry. Each 100 MW of wind development in
southwest Minnesota has generated about $1 million per year in property tax
revenue and about $250,000 per year in direct lease payments to landowners.
• Fewer subsidies: All energy systems are subsidized, and wind is no exception.
However, wind receives considerably less than other forms of energy. In the 2005
energy bill, for example, of the $14.5 billion tax package, all types of renewable
energy and energy efficiency combined received only $4.5 billion while fossil
fuels received $5.6 billion.
• Free Fuel: Unlike other forms of electrical generation where fuel is shipped to a
processing plant, for wind energy the generating station, or wind turbine, is
installed at the source of fuel. Wind is a native fuel that does not need to be mined
or transported, taking two expensive aspects out of long-term energy costs.
• Price Stability: The price of electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear power can
fluctuate greatly due to highly variable mining and transportation costs. Wind can
help buffer these costs because the price of fuel is fixed and free.
• Promotes Cost-Effective Energy Production: The cost of wind-generated

electricity has fallen from nearly 40¢ per kWh in the early 1980s to 2.5-5¢ per
kWh today depending on wind speed and project size.
• Creates Jobs: Wind energy projects create new short and long term jobs. Related
employment ranges from meteorologists and surveyors to structural engineers,
assembly workers, lawyers, bankers, and technicians. Wind energy creates 30%
more jobs than a coal plant and 66% more than a nuclear power plant per unit of
energy generated.
2. Social Advantages
• National Security/Energy Independence: Wind turbines diversify our energy
portfolio and reduce our dependence on foreign fossil fuel. Wind energy is
homegrown electricity, and can help control spikes in fossil fuel cost. Distributed
generation facilities, like many community wind projects, provide a safeguard
against potential terrorist threats to power plants.
• Supports Agriculture: It is not often a new crop emerges from thin air. Wind
turbines can be installed amid cropland without interfering with people, livestock,
or production.
• Local Ownership: A significant contribution to the worldwide energy mix can be

made by small clusters of turbines or even single turbines, operated by local
landowners and small businesses. Developing local sources of electricity means
we import less fuel from other states, regions, and nations. It also means our
energy dollars are plowed back into the local economy.
3. Environmental Advantages
• Clean Water: Turbines produce no particulate emissions that contribute to
mercury contamination in our lakes and streams. Wind energy also conserves
water resources. For example, producing the same amount of electricity can take
about 600 times more water with nuclear power than wind, and about 500 times
more water with coal than wind.
• Clean Air: Other sources of electricity produce harmful particulate emissions

which contribute to global climate change and acid rain. Wind energy is pollution
free.
• Mining & Transportation: Harvesting the wind preserves our resources because
there no need for destructive resource mining or fuel transportation to a
processing facility.
• Land Preservation: Wind farms are spaced over a large geographic area, but
their actual "footprint" covers only a small portion of the land resulting in a
minimum impact on crop production or livestock grazing. Large buildings cannot
be built near the turbine, thus wind farms preserve open space.
DISADVANTAGES OF WIND POWER
• A Variable Resource: Turbines produce electricity only when the wind blows.
This variability is monitored and compensated in the same way utilities monitor
demand changes each day, so there are not any actual changes in power supply for
the end users.
• Aesthetics: People have widely varied reactions to seeing wind turbines on the
landscape. Some people see graceful symbols of economic development and
environmental progress or sleek icons of modern technology. Others might see
industrial encroachment in natural and rural landscapes. There are many ways to
minimize the visual impact of wind turbines, including painting them a neutral
color, arraying them in a visually pleasing manner, and designing each turbine
uniformly.
• Shadow Flicker: Shadow flicker occurs when the blades of the rotor cast a
shadow. Research has shown the worst-case conditions would affect, by way of
light alteration, neighboring residents a total of 100 minutes per year and only 20
minutes per year under normal circumstances.
• Noise: Wind turbines are not silent. The sounds they produce are typically foreign
to the rural settings where wind turbines are most often used, but as turbine
technology has improved over the years, the amount of noise has fallen
considerably. The sounds of wind turbines do not interfere with normal activities,
such as quietly talking to one’s neighbor.
• Biological Resource Impacts: As with any construction project or large

structure, wind energy can impact plants and animals, depending on the
sensitivity of the area. Direct fatalities from collisions or electrocutions and loss
of wildlife habitat and natural vegetation are the primary wildlife concerns
associated with wind energy. Extensive environmental impact analyses are
integral of project development to mitigate impacts as much as possible.
• Construction: Wind systems can involve the transportation of large and heavy
equipment. This can cause a large temporarily disturbed area near the turbines.
Erosion is another potential environmental problem that can stem from
construction projects. The single most reliable technique for limiting erosion is to
avoid grading roads and perform site reclamation post construction.
• Radar: Radar interference by wind turbines is rare and easily avoided through
technological improvements and proper sitting of turbines that are close to
sensitive areas. A number of U.S. government installations have both wind
turbines and functional radar, and the British military has a track record of
successfully addressing these challenges

working relationships with turbine owners do not end with delivery. On the contrary, the
final delivery of a turbine marks the beginning of close collaboration over a period of at
least 20 years. In short, Vestas cares for its turbines, no matter where in the world they
may be. This ensures that Vestas remains a truly trustworthy partner
HISTORY
In the year 1878 H.S. Hansen, the blacksmith started a workshop and achieved success
because of his impressive creativity & innovative drive. In the year 1945 H.S. Hansen’s
son, Peder Hansen, joined forces with nine colleagues and established the company
VEstjysk STalteknik A/S whose name is soon shortened to VESTAS. It started
manufacturing house-hold appliances such as mixers and then moved to manufacturing
tankers which is used for carrying oil and water in the year 1962. The business was
growing good but in the mid 1970’s the oil crisis forced the company to look for
alternative sources of income. This decision made to concentrate on wind turbines.
In the year 1979 Vestas launched the first wind turbine. By 1985, Vestas employed
around 800 people. In its successful group the company has seen a turnover rise by 35%.
In 1997 increased competition and requirements for complete wind turbine solutions,
kept pressure on wind turbine manufacturers and as a result Nordtank Energy Group
(NEG) & Micon A/S decided to join forces to form NEG Micon A/S. With a global
market share of 17%, the new company became the 2 nd largest player on the global
market. Finally, in the year 2004, NEG Micon & Vestas received the final approval to
combine the two companies to create a new VESTAS – the undisputed world leader in
the Wind Power Industry

STAGES OF WIND PROJECT PLANNING
Vestas' professional competencies cover every stage of wind project planning, installation
and operation - from studies and simulations to service and maintenance.
Studies and simulations:

Vestas works with independent consultants on fundamental analyses of wind and site
conditions. Analyses regarding load evaluations and modeling were done. The results
help to ensure permits, satisfy local regulations and arrange funding. This also helps to
conduct accurate simulations to optimize site design.
Wind turbines:
Choosing the right turbine is the key to a wind turbine project that provides a strong
return on investment. Vestas has a broad range of turbine models, each targeting specific
conditions and priorities.
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition):

A supervisory control and data acquisition system transforms discrete turbines into a
single functioning entity. A wind power plant is a flexible program with a broad array of
supervisory monitoring and control features that allow wind power plants to operate like
a conventional power plant. From anywhere in the world it is possible to optimize
production levels, monitor performance and generate management reports
Project management:
Vestas manages every aspect of a project from manufacture and procurement to the
hiring and supervision of subcontractors, as well as the technical support throughout the
construction process. Finally, systems are tested rigorously before commissioning, and
thorough training is given to all operators and service personnel
Service and maintenance:

The delivery of a Vestas turbine marks the beginning of close collaboration over a
period of atleast 20 years. Vestas global service network offers a variety of products
which maintains a competitive edge by optimizing plant operations and minimizing
downtime.
DEPARTMENTS:

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT IN VESTAS
The Performance Management System is an ongoing communication process that is

undertaken in partnership between the Appraiser and the Appraisee. This partnership is
undertaken with the primary objective of achieving the Organization goal, namely,
Improved Performance and Results. This process also helps in providing clarity within
the Organization of what is expected and how they are to be achieved.
The method adopted in Vestas wind Technology is Management By Objectives (MBO)
The period of Appraisal is generally 1st June to 31st May, each year with one interim
informal review in the month of December
The 4 main activities of the Performance Management System in Vestas are:
1. PLANNING
2. MANAGING
3. REVIEWING
4. REWARDING
1. PLANNING:
Planning involves identification and agreement of the goals with the Appraiser, while
understanding the resources, interdependency and constraints for the job. Along with the
goals competencies, work habits and special Achievements are also identified.
GOALS
Goals or Targets represent what the appraisee is accountable for and in how much period
they are expected to deliver.
GOAL SETTING:
I. Identify major goals related to the job
The Appraiser and the Appraisee should identify the key goals that are achievable. There
should be focus on only 5-6 goals for a year. Having more number of goals will divert the
attention from the major priorities of the job.
Types of Goals
a) Operational Goals: These relate to outputs expected of routine, activity based

Example: Production Target for a Month/Quarter/Year
b) Project/ Assignment Goals: These relate to specific short term or long term
initiatives as part of the responsibilities of the job
Example: Connecting all the Wind Mills by the end of 2006
c) Self Development Goals: These relate to individual development, where one can
earmark the areas of development, either in technical or soft skills
Example: Acquiring knowledge of Scientific Modeling of Sites by December 2006
d) People Goals: These relate to interpersonal relationship, inter department interface,

team work etc.
Example: Improving Customer Satisfaction Index by 20%
e) Quality Goals: These are related to introducing processes or following the defined
processes and systems in the area of work.
Example: Following the processes and ensuring there are no “non conformance
reports” during quality audits
II. Writing the goals
The goals that are set should have “SMART” characteristics
 Specific
 Measurable
 Agreeable
 Realistic
 Time-Bound
COMPETENCIES
A Competency is knowledge, attribute or underlying characteristic of a person that

enables him to deliver superior performance in a given job or role or situation.
Competencies represent “HOW” a particular job needs to be done.

Example: When a Marketing Department Employee is given a target of increasing the
sales volume ( 500MW by 2007) then the competency which is seen in him during the
Appraisal period is whether he is RESULT ORIENTED or not.
WORKHABITS
In few kind of jobs work habits play a major role. They should be considered during the
Appraisal Period to improve his performance and to meet the Organizations Objectives.
They include:
 Punctuality
 Uninformed and Frequent Absenteeism
 Clean and neat performance
 Politeness
 Flexibility in accepting work from people
 Speed in completion of job
SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Special Achievements represents those incidents or occasions where an employee

contributes in a significant way, far beyond the call of duty. These are special and are not
pre-planned.
2. MANAGING:
This is the critical part in the entire Performance Management Process. In this stage
Appraiser explains various goals, their importance and the necessity for an employee to
meet/exceed pre-agreed levels of performance.
Managing is the process where an employee is guided and encouraged to improve

performance and achieve targets. There should be openness to give/ receive feedback, to
advice, counsel, explanations etc
3. REVIEWING:
Reviews are structured opportunities to provide performance feedback to the Appraisee

and set the goals for the upcoming period. These are conducted periodically as per fixed
schedule.
This process is effective only if the Appraisee get regular feedback from the Appraiser
about the quality of the work.
4. REWARDING:
Rewarding to the employees is done based on the Performance Appraisal Rating given to
the employees. There will be no automatic increase in compensation and promotions as
the employees gain experience. All the increments or promotions are purely based on the
performance rating of the employees, Companies Performance criteria, Market Situations
and some other policies
EVALUATION OF THE EMPLOYEES PERFORMANCE
In the process of evaluation of the employee performance, employees are allowed to rate
themselves on a scale of 1-4 (1 being the least and 4 being the highest), and then during
the Appraisal Interview, the employee Appraiser gives the ratings on the scale of 1-4
based on his performance in achieving Goals, Competencies, Work Habits and Special
Achievements. The rating given by the Appraiser is considered the evaluation purpose.
Based on the ratings given to them on Goals, Competencies, Work Habits and Special
Achievements and the weightages given to Goals, Competencies, Work Habits and
Special Achievements, their composite rating(score) is calculated. This score is
considered as the final rating.
WEIGHTAGE DISTRIBUTION
Weightage of Goals : 60%

Weightage of Competencies : 30%
Weightage of Work habits : 10%
A discretionary weightage of 10% on special achievements can also be given
Employee’s performance is rated on a scale of 1 to 4 based on the ratings given to them

by their Appraiser where the representations of the scores are as follows:
1. Poor
2. Average
3. Good
4. Outstanding.
RESULTS OF RATING
 According to this rating, and the deviations in the employee’s current salary and
the market value, his Increments/ Promotions are decided.
 If he is found that he is capable person of handling more duties then he is given

more responsibilities
 .If the employee’s rating is found average, then the weakness of the employees
are identified and accordingly training is given to the employees
 If the employee’s performance is found to be poor then he may be removed from

the job
Along with this performance appraisal form the seniors are suggested which areas are in
strength these people as well as weaknesses these suggestions are taken into consider
according that training is conducted to the members in the organization. In this way
vestas is started the training and development of the employees.

FINDINGS, SUGGESTIONS AND
CONCLUSION
FINDINGS
• It is found that 87% of the total respondents feel that their supervisor strictly
following the standard format of performance review and 13% of the respondents
feel that the standard format is not being followed
• The time spent by the supervisor for the discussion on the performance review is
10-20 minutes for 35% of the associates; no time was spend by the supervisor for
5% of associates and 20 minutes and above time was spent by the supervisor for
60% of the associates.
• There is a feeling that 55% of the total respondents agree that their supervisor
takes the performance appraisal process seriously, 35% of the respondents
strongly agree, 5% disagree and another 5% of the respondents strongly disagree
• 53% of the total respondents strongly agree that they can share thoughts and
feelings freely with the supervisor and 47% of the respondents just agree
• It is evident that 60% of the respondents agree that their discussions with their
supervisor are fruitful, 30% agree and 10% of the respondents disagree with this
• I found that 87% of the total respondents agree they and their supervisor mutually
arrive a t final rating and 13% of the respondents do not agree with this
.
• It is found that 88% of the total respondents agree that they get guidance in
understanding the process of performance review from their supervisor and only
12% disagree with this
• It is learned that 63% of the total respondents believe that their goals for the year
2006 are SMART and 37% believe that their goals are not SMART
• The survey reveals that only 55% of the associates have completed their mid-year
review. 45% of the associates have not yet completed their mid-year review; this
is due to the reason that their supervisors could not spend time for review.
• It denotes that 60% of the total respondents taken as 100%, 75% of them say that
their supervisors identify training needs after the mid-year review and 25%
disagree with this.
• It shows that 54% of the respondents say that their mid-year appraisal has helped
them to do their job better, 33% say that it has greatly helped them and 13%
disagree with this statement.
SUGGESTIONS
• To appraise the employees twice in a year so that the employees performance will
become better in the coming year, instead of one year.
• Data of the appraisal should be written immediately after completion of the

appraisal process. Then their will be no loss of data about the employees
performance and analysis can be done properly
• Other attributes must be identified to measure the performance such as

interpersonal skill, avoiding conflict, situational behavior can be rated.
• Reward and performance should be linked. The person getting highest rating
should be given reward as an incentive package
• Proper counseling and support should be given by the management to improve the
performance of the employees
• Identify proper training needs for those who have undergone mid-year review.
Make sure that the mid-year appraisal must be useful to them in achieving the
objectives of the Organization
• After the mid-year review the training needs that are identified should be
completed within that year. Then the associates will satisfy about their
performance of the job. These training programs should be organized during
unseasons
• An influential person and who has popularity among employees should provide
awareness of the system and motivate employees to participate in the meetings
• The incentives provided for good performance must be a motivating factor for a
better performance
• There is a feeling that this system is not fully utilized to recognize the
performance of the associates. So, top management should create seriousness
towards the performance management system
• The performance management system that is being follows is very well designed.
But there should be no delay in its implementation practically
• The parameters on which the performance is assured should be more logical and
analytical.
CONCLUSION
From the opinions, views and response of the employees on this study, I conclude by
saying that most of the employees of VESTAS WIND TECHNOLOGY PRIVATE
LIMITED hold a positive view on the effectiveness of the performance management
system in the Organization.
In today’s competitive era, Organizations need to have performing people to reach its
appropriate goal
Vestas is the best performing Organization globally in the wind industry. There is
consistency in rating the performance of the individuals. Employees are co-operative in
improving the productivity. Skills of the employees are being well recognized and are
given a chance to prove their work. This motivates them to work for the Organization to
achieve the target set before them
Hence I conclude with a positive note on the study by saying that the Organization with
the implementation of suggestions and by developing a multi prone strategy covering all
the aspects of performance management system would become a “benchmark” for the
rest of the firms in this field.
