 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION OF INSURANCE:

Insurance is commerce. Insurance product is a financial contract

entered into by parties with a define consensus of mind. Insurance,
in its purest from, is a risk management tool, a security blanket. It
provides financial protection against unexpected events. When we buy
insurance, effectively a portion of risk is transferred to the insurer. This
protection comes at a price, but it's a function of what we might
otherwise find ourselves burdened with. Whatever stage of life we are at,
chances are, and we need insurance.

DEFINITION:
Insurance can be define as" a contract by which insurance agrees to pay
the insured a compensation for specified damage loss or injury
suffered in exchange for periodic payment called premium" Insurance
cannot prevent the happening of the event; it can protect a person from the
financial losses he may suffer after the happening of the event. Therefore,
insurance if aimed at compensating the financial loss suffered an insured
event.

8
WHY INSURANCE?

You need Life Insurance because typically the need for income continues
for those who are financially dependent on you, but there is no guarantee
of your ability to earn consistently and for the rest of your life. Life
insurance can help you safeguard the financial needs of your family.

This need has become even more important due to steady disintegration of
the prevalent joint family system, and emergence of nuclear families. The
need to protect your family’s ever growing needs is why you need Life
Insurance.

Following are the reasons:

 Replacement of Income
 Lifestyle Maintenance
 Costs of Education
 Retirement Expenses
 Mortgage and Debt protection
 Hardships Protection

9
 Advantages of Life Insurance

It is superior to an ordinary saving plan: Unlike other saving plans, it affords

full protection against risk of death. In case of death, the full assured is
made available under a life assurance policy; here as under saving scheme
the total accumulated saving alone will be available. The later will be
considerably less than the sum assured, if death occurs during early years.

Easy settlement & protection against creditors: The life assured can name
person(s) called Nominee to whom the policy money would be payable in
the event of his death. The proceeds of a life policy can be protected
against the claim of the creditors of the life assured by effecting a valid
assignment of the policy.

Ready marketability & suitability for quick borrowing: After an initial period,
if the policyholder finds him unable to continue payment of premiums, he
can surrender the policy for a cash sum. Alternatively, he can tide over a
temporary difficulty by taking loan on the sole security of the policy without
delay. Further, a life insurance policy is sometimes acceptable as security
for a commercial loan.

Tax Relief : The Indian Income-Tax Act allows deduction of certain

portion of the taxable income, which is diverted to payment of life insurance
premiums from the total income tax liability. When this tax relief is taken
into account, it will be found that the assured is in effect paying a lower
premium for his insurance.
10
CLASSIFICATION OF INSURANCE:

Insurance began as a way of reducing the risk of traders, as early as

5000 BC and 4500 BC in. Life insurance dates only to ancient Rome;

helped survivors monetarily. Modern life insurance started in late 17th
century, originally as insurance for traders: merchants, ship owners and
underwriters met to discuss deals at Lloyd's Coffee House, predecessor to
the famous.

fewer than half a dozen survived.
Prior to, many insurance companies in the United States for their owners,
in response to bills passed in 2001 and in 2003, the companies have been
required to search their records for such policies for example reported that
Nautilus sold 485slaveholder life insurance policies during a two-year
period in the 1840s; they added that their trustees voted to end the sale of
such policies 15 years before the General information:

Human have always sought securities. This quest for security was
an important motivating force in the earliest formation of families, clans,
tribes, and other groups. Indeed, groups have been the primary source
both emotional and physical security since the beginning of humankind.
They ensured a less volatile source of life necessities then that which
ensures isolated human & families could provide and help their less
fortunate members in the time of crises.

Training & Development

30
 Introduction

Training is an educational process. People can learn new information, re-

learnand reinforce existing knowledge and skills, and most importantly
have time to think and consider what new options can help them improve
their effectiveness at work. Effective trainings convey relevant and useful
information that inform participants and develop skills and behaviors that
can be transferred back to the workplace.

The goal of training is to create an impact that lasts beyond the end
time of the training itself. The focus is on creating specific action
steps and commitments that focus people's attention on incorporating their
new skills and ideas back at work.

Training can be offered as skill development for individuals and

groups.
In general, trainings involve presentation and learning of content as a
means for enhancing skill development and improving workplace
behaviors.

Organizational Development is a process that "strives to build the capacity

to achieve and sustain a new desired state that benefits the
organization or community and the world around them." (from the
Organizational Development Network website) OD work implies
creating and sustaining change.

31
 An OD perspective examines the current environment, the present
state, and helps people on a team, in a department and as part of
an institution identify effective strategies for improving performance. In
some situations, there may not be anything "wrong" at the present time;
the group or manager may simply be seeking ways to continue to
develop and enhance existing relationships and performance. In other
situations, there may be an identifiable issue or problem that needs to be
addressed; the OD process aims to find ideas and solutions that can
effectively return the group to a state of high performance.

These two processes, Training and Organizational Development, are

often closely connected. Training can be used as a proactive means
for developing skills and expertise to prevent problems from arising and
can also be an effective tool in addressing any skills or performance gaps
among staff.

Organizational Development can be used to create solutions to

workplace issues, before they become a concern or after they become
identifiable problem

32
Approach Of Training & Development

Traditional Approach - Most of the organizations before never used to

believe in training. They were holding the traditional view that managers
are born and not made. There were also some views that training is a very
costly affair and not worth. Organizations used to believe more in executive
pinching. But now the scenario seems to be changing.

The modern approach of training and development is that Indian

Organizations have realized the importance of corporate training. Training
is now considered as more of retention tool than a cost. The training
system in Indian Industry has been changed to create a smarter workforce
and yield the best results

33
Objectives Of Training And Development

41

the objectives and linking it to learning outcomes.

knowledge transfer of knowledge at work place and training.

used and whether those methods confirm to the candidates preferences
and learning style

Sample size refers to number of elements to be included in the study
several qualitative factors should also be taken into consideration when
determining the sample size. These include the nature of research, number
of variable, and nature of analysis, sample size used in similar studies
incidence rates, completion rates, and resources constraints.
During the process of the study, survey has been conducted on 100
employees.

45
Sampling method:
The researcher had choice between probability and non
probability sampling methods. In this study a simple non probability
method namely convenience sampling was adopted. For my study I
have selected Non-probability method in which I selected convincing
sampling method.

(B) FIELD WORK:

Survey was done in ING.
The data was collected over a period of six weeks, using well
structured questionnaire. The respondents were contacted at their
respective retail outlets in various parts of the city.

Plan of the data analysis:

Planning and analysis of data can be done through three steps. They are
editing coding tabulation. These three are very important in analyzing the
data.

Editing:
Editing is the process of examining errors when there is some
inconsistency in the responses as entered in the questionnaire or
where it contains partial or vague answers.

Coding:
Coding is necessary to carryout the subsequent operations of
tabulating and analyzing data. If coding is not done, it will not be possible
46
to reduce a large number of heterogeneous responses into meaningful
categories with the result that the analysis of data would be weak and
ineffective and without proper focus.

Tabulation:
Tabulation comprises sorting of the data into different categories and
counting the number of cases that belong to category the simplest way to
tabulate is to count the number of responses to one question. This is
called univeriate tabulation. Where two or more variables are involved in
tabulation, it is called bivariate or multivariate tabulation. In marketing
research projects and generally both types of tabulation are used.

 CONCLUSION

The employers should keep in mind these four rules of thumb when
designing the company's strategy and solution:

Rule #1: Internet technology is the key to a profound revolution in

learning.
The effects of Internet technology on employee training are indeed
profound; however, technology - any technology - should be seen as a tool,
not a strategy or final goal. Just because they have good word processing
software doesn't mean you write well. Likewise, the Internet cannot, in and
of itself, improve the quality of the learning and the content they put on it.
The employers need to use Internet technology combined with high
quality, effective learning to maximize learning and retention levels.

Rule #2: There is an enduring and important role for traditional

classroom instruction.
People who believe technology will totally replace great teachers in front of
classrooms of highly motivated learners are as misguided as those who
believe the Internet is a passing fad. The blended learning solution, i.e., a
mixture of classroom and Web-based training is the most effective and
comprehensive learning strategy.

55
Rule #3: Learning is a continuous, cultural process - not simply a series of
workshops.
Employees retain about 50% to 60% of what they learn in a formal training
workshop. Often, employees forget what they have learned within two
months of the workshop. Therefore, access and opportunities to learn
should be available to anyone, anywhere, and at any time within an
organization.
Organizational learning is as much about what happens outside formal
learning programs as it is about the programs themselves.

Rule #4: Strategy development and implementation are never really

finished.
Employers change as their business changes. They adjust it as their
people become more skilled and knowledgeable. The employers
redefine it as new technology options become available. And, they
constantly test it against the mission and vision of their business, making
sure they are always in alignment.

Due to training there is greater stability, flexibility and capacity for growth in
an organization. Accidents, scrap and damage to machinery and
equipment can be avoided or minimized through training. Even
dissatisfaction, complaints, absenteeism, and turnover can be reduced if
employees are trained well. Future needs of employees will be met
through training and development programmes. Organizational take
fresh diploma holders or graduates as apprentices or management
trainees. They are absorbed after course completion. Training serves
as an effective source of recruitment. Training is
56
an investment in HR with a promise of better returns in future.
Though no single training programme yields all the benefits the
organization which devotes itself to training and development
enhances its HR capabilities and strengthens its competitive edge. At the
same time, the employee's personal goals are furthered, generally adding
to his or her abilities and value to the employer. Ultimately, the
objectives of the HR department and also of the organization are also
furthered.
