Employee retention by employers to create and foster an environment that motivates existing employees to stay with by having policies and practices in place that address their diverse needs is a systematic effort. An employee must find his job challenging and as per his interest to excel at work and stay with the organisation for a longer period of time. Here, the role of a leader plays an important role. Leadership is a very important aspect that affects the functioning, existence and stability of any group or organisation. There are two main functions that leaders are bounded to perform. The first is central on accomplishing the task towards the attainment of goals such as initiating actions, keeping members attention on the goal, clarifying issues, helping the group develop a procedural plan, evaluating the work done and making expert information available. The second is on developing member's feelings to maintain the strength of the organisation. Leaders are expected to keep interpersonal relations, arbitrate excuse and provide encouragement, give chance to divert, stimulate self-direction and increase interdependence among organisational members. The main purpose of this study was to empirically examine the role of a leader and its impact on employee retention. The study was conducted primarily to evaluate the current leadership practices followed in the sample automobile industries. The results indicate that a leader has a significant impact on the decision of an employee to stay.

There is one thing that we can agree on; it is the world of work which is changing quickly. The pressing concern of everyone today is what does the future hold for work in the twenty-first century? With growing pace of technological change and rapid economic globalisation, there will be a shift that will transform the world of work, and it will keep advancing over the next 10–15 years. This drift will have implications on the future workforce and workplace, including the size, composition and skills of the workforce; the nature of work and workplace arrangements and worker compensation. In this perspective, employee competence and their constant professional development through proper training are becoming strategic factor for long-term competiveness of any organisation. Policy to invest in employee development is becoming a priority for every organisation to increase its efficiency. To develop employee, diagnosing training needs is a vital activity for the training and development function in any organisation or institution. There are numerous approaches to assess the training needs. An attempt is made in this article to contribute in the ongoing discussion on the issue of diagnosing training needs and share ideas and techniques for ensuing sustainability of organisation. In doing so, there is a likewise need to underscore on integrating the training policy and practices to face the challenges of the world of work.

Organisational performance depends upon individual performance. Training is one of the most important tools to develop employee's performance in the organisation. The purpose of training is basically to bridge the gap between the job requirements and present competence of an employee. In this study, the researcher analyes the employee's perception on how the training practices could improve their performance effectively and efficiently. A total of 100 employees were randomly selected as sample in HOV software company, Chennai. To analyse the data, SPSS software package used the statistical tools such as descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, U-test, H-test and correlation also were used. The result of the study is male and postgraduate employees have low perception on training practice to improve their performance and the trainer's knowledge and qualification, method of training also are more positively correlated with respect to employees’ performance. Finally, the researcher concludes that if the organisation wants to improve their employee performance effectively and efficiently, first, it should concentrate on training, particularly, the method and knowledge of the trainer.

Research has significantly brought out that the trainers across the world resort to different training mechanisms, to achieve similar training outcomes. The reasons for difference in delivery modes are generally known only to the trainers and are rarely chronicled. In the same way, the state training institutes too are delegated the task of disseminating trainings regarding the key thrust areas concerning national policy. Since these trainings are meant for government functionaries, who work in a substantive position, it is very important to diligently monitor the achievement of deliverables and ensure programme effectiveness. Further, due to multiple constraints, it is not possible to take up the trainings of all functionaries of a particular level, at same time or even in same financial year. In this case, the lessons of the trainings can be circulated among the key functionaries with a little incremental effort if the trainings are treated as participatory research (PAR) processes. Basing on the pre–post testing of a Right to Information (RTI) training programme conducted by J&K Institute of Management, Public Administration and Rural Development, the present research aims to develop a model to trace the learning index of the trainees. The research reports that the negative learning has been invariably associated with low ‘Self-Disclosure’. Further, an attempt has been made to treat the RTI training as a PAR project. The discussed cases strongly support the possibility of utilising this approach for selected government trainings, so as to enable the building of a ready reckoner and disseminate useful information in a faster mode to the stakeholders.
