TVRLS launches Online Education Programs

TVRLS On-Line Education Programs

TVRLS prides itself as the only HR & OB consulting company with its own books, manuals and other publications. The work at TVRLS is based on the knowledge and experience  generated by its Founder Dr. T. V. Rao since the time he along with  Dr. Udai Pareek at IIMA were instrumental in starting the first dedicated HRD Department and initiated a new HR function. Over the last four decades Dr. Rao and Dr. Pareek and in recent times his colleagues at TVRLS have mastered and disseminated various concepts, skills and practices in HR & OB across India and other countries. There is abundance of knowledge and experience at TVRLS and with those who are associated with it in different ways. TVRLS has its own publications like Designing HR Systems, HR Audit, HRD Score Card, Performance Management, 360 Degree Feedback, Leadership Development, OD, Behavioural Sciences, Psychometric tools, Assessment & Development Centres etc. The publications also include experiences of various leaders in these fields.

To make this knowledge available and prepare future generation of effective managers including HR Managers and managers of various other functions in a variety of sectors, TVRLS is launching a series of on-line programs. These are on-line programs with a difference. They are offered at three levels: Level 1: (Knowledge) which is purely distance and on line reading and learning. Level 2 :( Skills) based on contact workshops to be lead by Dr. Rao himself and his experienced colleagues. Level 3: (Application) based on the application of the concepts learnt through a project work.  

They are priced to be accessible to those who wish to self finance. We hope many mangers (line & HR), faculty, trainers, students and other interested learners from various sectors will go through these programs and benefit from them.  

We are beginning with two programs now and eventually wish to offer many more. The programs we plan to offer are listed below.
