Marking-scheme solution
• (a) (i) Transfers
It involves shifting of an employee from one job to another,
one department to another or from one shift to another,
without a substantive change in the responsibilities, status and
• salary of the employee.
Transfer is useful for filling the vacancies with employees
• from overstaffed departments.
It can also be used for training of employees for learning
different jobs.
• (ii) Promotions:
It leads to shifting of an employee to a higher position
• carrying higher responsibilities, facilities, status and pay.
This practice helps to improve the motivation, loyalty and
• satisfaction level of employees.
Promotions at a higher level leads to a chain of promotions at
lower levels in the organisation.
• (b) (i) Internship training
It is a joint programme of training in which educational
• institutions and business firms cooperate.
Selected candidates carry on regular studies for the prescribed
• period in an educational institute.
To acquire practical knowledge and skills, they work in a
factory or office
• (ii) Vestibule training
In this method, training is conducted away from the actual
• work floor.
Actual work environments are created in a class room and
• employees use the same materials, files and equipment.
This is usually done when employees are required to handle
sophisticated machinery and equipment.
