Introduction:
The banking industry as on date is facing tremendous competition.
The public as well as the private sector banks have to cater to the demanding
customer needs of economical lending and borrowing rates, shorter process time
and high quality of products and services. The banks are becoming more and more
customer oriented, and the trend is to provide products and services as per
the customers’ choice and convenience. Automatic Teller Machines (A.T.M.)
have flooded the market and the concepts of extended banking hours and even
twenty four hour banking are on the rise. A survey shows that by the year 2001,
174.5 million of the global population have access to the web, and accordingly
there is a high pressure on providing high quality Internet Banking. Despite
the growth of technology and contemporary business practices, the banking industry
is highly dependent on skilled professionals. Efficient utilization of Human
Resources and effective programmes for development and training of this resource
is absolutely essential for each and every bank, if it wishes to survive in
this competition. This dissertation explores the role of Human Resource
Development (H.R.D.) and importance of training in the banking industry.
An attempt has been made to study and critically analyse the H.R.D. and Training
aspects of Standard Chartered Bank (S.C.B.).
The banking industry in India, today comprises of Nationalized banks, Private
Sector banks and Multinational banks. In an era of economic liberalization,
like all other sectors, the banking sector is also facing enormous competition,
and is thus undergoing rapid transformation. All the above three categories
of banks are continuously trying to reach new horizons, by bringing out new
products and services at lower operating and instrumental costs. Simultaneously,
efforts are being made for creating a phenomenal expansion in the scope and
volume of business and also a profound qualitative change in the styles and
systems of functioning. The geographic expansion of banks has gone hand in hand
with functional specialization. There have been fast, continuous and sweeping
changes in banking practices (Priyadarshini and Venkatpathy, 2003).
The banking sector in India, is experiencing a conceptual
change from traditional advances to priority sector advances, from security
oriented approach to purpose oriented approach ( Jain, 1996 ). For example,
the priority sector advances have been targeted by different banks by using
the following different names:
i) Standard Chartered Bank : Priority Banking
ii) CITIBANK : CITIGOLD
iii) HSBC : Preferred Banking
iv) HDFC Bank : Private Banking
v) ABN Amro Bank : Van gogh Banking
Besides this, the quality of banking services and the objectives of nationalized
banks in achieving their socio-economic goals are highly dependent on the employees
who deliver the services. Attracting and retaining customers involve total commitment
of the employee in the process of redeeming service.
