• (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.
