READY MIX CO CRETE

Concrete is a hardened building material created by combining a binder i.e. cement (commonly Portland cement), aggregate (generally gravel and sand), water and admixtures. Although people commonly use the word cement as a synonym for concrete, it is only one of several components in modern concrete. As concrete dries, it acquires a stone-like consistency that makes it ideal for constructing roads, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, factories, airports, railroads, waterways, mass transit systems. Concrete is used more than any other man made material on the planet. It was in 1824, when Joseph Aspdin and Isaac Charles Johnson refined synthetic cement that Portland cement came into existence. However, it was not widely used until World War II, when several large docks and bridges were constructed. Today, different types of concrete are categorized according to their method of installation. Ready or pre-mixed concrete is batched and mixed at a central plant before it is delivered to a site. This type of concrete is sometimes transported in an agitator truck and is also known as transit-mixed concrete. Shrink-mixed concrete is partially mixed at the central plant and its mixing is then completed en route to the site. The secret of good concrete lies in the degree of quality control and technical parameters of the mix. UltraTech, the Aditya Birla Group Company, which makes good concrete better, maintains a high level of precision in its quality assurance procedures and produces world-class concrete that comes in a package of highly reliable durability, strength and performance. The making of concrete is a science as well as an art. Science because the right proportions of all the ingredients as per the standard Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) code assures the desired strength and durability. And an art because it is not just the accurate proportioning which determines the quality of concrete, but the way it is mixed, placed, compacted, cured and protected also play a great role. UltraTech Concrete makes good concrete better because the company takes extra care to make sure it is perfect both ways — proportion wise and handling wise. To ensure quality, each and IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 9

every sample of concrete passes through stringent tests in fresh and hardened state to ensure strength, durability and performance. How does UltraTech Concrete make good concrete better? Right from selecting the raw materials to batching and mixing, transportation, placing of concrete till testing of concrete — UltraTech ensures flawless operation in every stage. Clearly, it's all about putting together the right ingredients for that perfect recipe. Cement Fresh cement, protected from weathering conditions and influence of external environment such as air, moisture etc., is an important ingredient of concrete. UltraTech Concrete plant uses fresh cement directly procured from the cement plants through cement bulkers, which in turn pump it directly into the concrete silos thus protecting it from the external environment. Coarse aggregates Coarse aggregates — free from clay, weeds and other organic materials, cubical or rounded with a combination of different sizes and not elongated or flaky — ensure proper strength of the concrete and make it non-porous. These coarse aggregates are a vital ingredient of good concrete. UltraTech Concrete directly sources the aggregates from selected and approved suppliers, tested as per BIS for size, shape, gradation, impact value and crushing value etc. Fine aggregate Sand, the fine aggregate used in concrete must be free from silt, clay, salts and organic materials to prevent shrinkage cracks, which affect the concrete quality and durability.

UltraTech Concrete directly purchases sand from selected and approved suppliers tested for moisture content. To maintain the correct water-cement ratio, UltraTech Concrete plants use moisture sensors and an automatic water correction procedure. Water Potable water, free from impurities such as oil, alkalies, acids, salts, sugar, organic materials is IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 10

ideal for concrete. UltraTech Concrete uses water tested at frequent intervals and uses water purifiers whenever necessary. Admixture Admixtures used in concrete during mixing ensures its workability (the ease of placing of concrete in moulds) and the setting time is carefully chosen from reputed companies. The workability is measured for every batch through the slump cone and is controlled using a scientific method of dosing. UltraTech Concrete is equipped with computerized batching and mixing plants to strictly monitor the quality of the concrete. It uses a computerized recipe for the raw mix design (cement : sand : coarse aggregate : water : admixture) and quantities of raw materials are weighed automatically as per the design mix. The water-cement ratio, very important to satisfy the strength and durability criteria of concrete, is pre-designed through a scientific mix design as per the BIS standards and kept constant throughout to maintain the consistency in quality for a particular mix. Mixing is generally done through high efficiency pan mixers (machine mixers / turbo mixer) to ensure uniform and consistent quality concrete. Transportation

The transport of concrete from its place of mixing to the delivery point is very critical, as there is possibility of the concrete drying out and losing its workability and plasticity. UltraTech Concrete transports concrete from its ready mix concrete plants to the site through transit mixers. Further, the concrete is pumped to the actual point of concreting using high efficiency concrete pumps, thus maintaining the homogeneity of the concrete throughout the transit till the final deposition. Placing the concrete is expedited scientifically by specialized delivery trucks. Qualified and experienced engineers monitor the entire operation.

Which things to be done and which things should not be done depend upon this only. It also helps the organization to achieve the target of the organization.

The HR policies of the organization have been mentioned in the HR Practices. All the rules & regulations for the employees have been also mentioned in this. All the welfare of the employees’ processes is also mentioned in this.

So the study of the HR Practices means basically the brief study of all HR functions in the organization. I believe the HR Practices is a vital part of an organization, which helps the organization to achieve the goal of the organization.

All companies are having their HR Practices but the company who is having the best, is the most successful company among its competitors. So the company can get success within its competitors by applying best, effective HR Practices.

1. Recruitment and Selection:
RECRUITME TIt is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedules and to employ the effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce. Edwin B. Flippo has defined it as “ the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. “

OBJECTIVES of RECRUITME T

• To attract people with multi-dimensional skills and experiences that suti the present and future organizational strategies, • To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization, • To develop an organisational culture that attracts competent people to the company, • To search for talent globally and not just within the company, • To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum, • To anticipate and find people for positions that do not exists yet.

It helps in translating Business Strategy into people requirements. A combination of internal recruitment, campus recruitment, and executive search is leveraged to meet up to the changing needs of the organization In today’s rapidly changing business environment, organizations have to respond quickly to requirements for people. Hence, it is important to have a well-defined recruitment policy in place, which can be executed effectively to get the best fits for the vacant positions. Selecting the wrong candidate or rejecting the right candidate could turn out to be costly mistakes for the organization.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 23

Selection
It is one area where the interference of external factors is minimal. Hence the HR department can use its discretion in framing its selection policy and using various selection tools for the best result. Recruitment of staff should be preceded by: An analysis of the job to be done (i.e. an analytical study of the tasks to be performed to determine their essential factors) written into a job description so that the selectors know what physical and mental characteristics applicants must possess, what qualities and attitudes are desirable and what characteristics are a decided disadvantage.

Effectively, selection is 'buying' an employee (the price being the wage or salary multiplied by probable years of service) hence bad buys can be very expensive. For that reason some firms (and some firms for particular jobs) use external expert consultants for recruitment and selection.

Equally some small organizations exist to 'head hunt', i.e. to attract staff with high reputations from existing employers to the recruiting employer. However, the 'cost' of poor selection is such that, even for the mundane day-to-day jobs, those who recruit and select should be well trained to judge the suitability of applicants. Outsourcing is also done through consultancies by mentioning the requirement, number and time.

Where the organization does its own printed advertising it is useful if it has some identifying logo as its trade mark for rapid attraction and it must take care not to offend the sex, race, etc. antidiscrimination legislation either directly or indirectly. The form on which the applicant is to apply (personal appearance, letter of application, completion of a form) will vary according to the posts vacant and numbers to be recruited.

Interviewing can be carried out by individuals (e.g. supervisor or departmental manager), by panels of interviewers or in the form of sequential interviews by different experts and can vary

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 24

from a five minute 'chat' to a process of several days. Ultimately personal skills in judgment are probably the most important.

Training in interviewing and in appraising candidates is clearly essential to good recruitment. Largely the former consists of teaching interviewers how to draw out the interviewee and the latter how to rate the candidates. For consistency (and as an aid to checking that) rating often consists of scoring candidates for experience, knowledge, physical/mental capabilities, intellectual levels, motivation, prospective potential, leadership abilities etc. (according to the needs of the post). Application of the normal curve of distribution to scoring eliminates freak judgments

The Recruitment Process of UTCL-

The recruitment process of UTCL Cement Ltd starts from the requirement of different departments as per to the org chart. Then they tell to the HR Department. HR Department takes the candidates IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 25

2. Performance Management System
It is a structured method of formally and objectively evaluating employees’ performance with respect to their objectives. It addresses the issue of an employee’s development by providing them with structured and in-depth analysis of strengths and areas of improvement. It provides with input for annual increments, training and development. For an organization the aim should not be just to have the best people, but also to retain them and get best out of them. Employee Performance management includes planning work and setting expectations, developing the capacity to perform, continuously monitoring performance and evaluating it.

Most organizations focus on an annual evaluation process for employees and call that Performance Management. However, annual evaluations are often subjective and can lack specific measurements and supportive data to help the employee truly improve their behavior.

Simply putting, a Performance Management System is essential to the success of any organization because it influences the effort expended by employees, which in turn, drives bottom-line business results. Furthermore, the Performance Management System helps an organization identify, recruit, motivate, and retain key employees.

An effective Performance Management System should achieve the following: Review the employment cycle of every employee, Beginning with the recruiting process, Employee development, Ending with effective exit interviews. Employee’s knowledge, skills, and abilities with the organization's human capital needs and business objectives.

Provide managers and employees with the tools necessary to focus on short-term and long-term goals that contribute to both career and organizational success. IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 27

Support the organization in developing and sustaining a culture that recognizes and rewards individual contributions and team performance. Promote a work climate that requires employees to remain flexibly focused. For instance, employees can manage current tasks and unit goals while keeping pace with, and adapting to, change in the work environment. HR Performance Management System can be performed in three steps: Needs Analysis Identifying Competencies Development of effective Performance Management System.

PURPOSE For Administration• • • • • • • • Document HR decisions with regards to performance & its related issues. Determine promotion of employees. Determine increment in pay of employees. Determine transfer & change in job assignments. Determine retention or termination. Decide on layoffs. Decide need for training Decide salary & related issues.

For Development• Provide performance feedback to all concerned. • Identify individual skills, core competencies, strength & weaknesses. • Assist employees in setting goals. • Identify training needs. • Improve communication.

Method employed • Rating & Contribution Management by Objectives (MBO)-



Advanced by Peter F. Drucker, way back in 1954. During last decade about 50 organisations have adopted MBO in work settings. MBO is a process whereby superior & subordinate managers of an organization jointly identify its common goals, define each individual’s major areas of responsibilities in terms of results expected of him & use these measures of guides for operating the unit & assessing the contribution of its members. The MBO focuses attention on participatively set goals that are tangible, verifiable & measurable. The superior & subordinates jointly determine goals to be considered during appraisal period & what level of performance is necessary for subordinates to satisfactorily achieve specific goals. During performance appraisal period the superior & subordinates update & alter goals as necessary due to changes in business environment. If not achieved identify reasons for deviation.

SYSTEM of Performance Appraisal – a) b) c) d) e) f) g) Establish Performance Standard. Communicate standard & expectation to employees. Measure actual performance, by following instructions. Adjust actual performance due to environment influence. Compare actual performance with set standards & find out deviations. Suggest changes in job analysis & standards if necessary. Follow up.

PROBLEMS• Rating biases• Halo effect • Error of central tendency. • Personal Prejudice. • Recency effect.

Mainly the performance management of UTCL is done by online system includes the following basic processes 1. 2. 3. Annual goal setting Mid year review Annual performance review

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected] [email protected]) )

Page 30

1.Annual goal setting –

In the month of April/May every year, after the annual planning and budgeting rounds, all teams identify their KRA’s and goals for the forthcoming financial year. This process occurs by offline. Then the employees fill their goal setting document in the Poornata system, listing the KRA’s, Goals, Measurement Criteria, Assigning Weightage and due date for completion of specific goals as already discussed offline. Then they notify the same to their manager/immediate supervisor and await approval. The manager recommends any changes if required or else approves the goals set in the document. The approval of the goals set by the managers completes the goal setting process. The approved documents will be then available to the employees as well as their managers for the reference throughout the year. These documents can also be viewed by manager’s manager (Reviewer) for their indirect subordinates.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 31

2. Mid Year Review: Mid year review of goals set at the beginning of the financial year held on the months of October/November every year. The mid year review generally initiated by the manager. The main focus of the mid year review is to check if the goals set at the beginning of the year are relevant or if they need to be revised or updated. The mid year review is also an opportunity for the manager and his team members to identify and discuss about any performance issues and initiate corrective action for the same. The mid year review does not entail any ratings.

3. Annual Performance review: The annual performance reviews against goals set and achieved held during the months of AprilMay every year. The employee completes his self-review /appraisal against goals set, online in the Poornata system and submits the same to his manager for review. The manager then discuss the performance of the employee with him/her off-line, give him feedback on his performance and capture his own comments and performance ratings against goals and overall ratings in the manager’s evaluation form. The manager also discusses the employee’s performance as well as rating with the manager’s manager (reviewer) and sends the document to the HR department for further processing.

3. Training and Development
The needs of individual are objectively identified & necessary interventions are planned for identified groups, which get rolled out in a phased manner through training calendar. The training and development program is charted out to cover the number of trainees, existing staff etc. The programs also cover the identification of resource personnel for conducting development program, frequency of training and development programs and budget allocation. Training and development programs can also be designed depending upon job requirement and analysis. Selection of trainees is also facilitated by job analysis. The company has a strong focus on manpower training according to their requirements. The internal training department aims at improving the skill sets relevant to the work profile of employees. • This includes improving communication • Different skills • E-mail programming • Operation systems. The design of the training program can be undertaken only when a clear training objective has been produced. The training objective clears what goal has to be achieved by the end of training program i.e. what the trainees are expected to be able to do at the end of their training. Training objectives assist trainers to design the training program.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 33

Training DesignThe trainer – Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical, interpersonal, judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers. The trainees – A good training design requires close scrutiny of the trainees and their profiles. Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the important factors that affect training design. Training climate – A good training climate comprises of ambience, tone, feelings, positive perception for training program, etc.

Trainees’ learning style – The learning style, age, experience, educational background of trainees must be kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the program.

Training strategies – Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer translates it into specific training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list of about what must be included, what could be included.

Training topics – After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be delivered. Trainers break the content into headings, topics and ad modules. These topics and modules are then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

Sequence the contents – Contents are then sequenced in a following manner: • From simple to complex • Topics are arranged in terms of their relative importance • From known to unknown • From specific to general • Dependent relationship

Training tactics – Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program becomes clear, trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methods or techniques. The method selection depends on the following factors: IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 34

• Trainees’ background • Time allocated • Style preference of trainer • Level of competence of trainer • Availability of facilities lities and resources, etc

“Training & Development is any attempt to improve current or future employee performance by increasing an employee’s ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employee’s attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge.”

MEA I G OF TRAI I G & DEVELOPME T ACCORDI G TO UTCL: The need for Training and Development is determined by the employee’s performance deficiency, computed as follows. Training & Development Need = Standard Performance – Actual Performance

Training: Training refers to the process of imparting specific skills. An employee undergoing training is presumed to have had some formal education. No training program is complete without an element of education. Hence we can say that Training is offered to operatives.

Development: Development means those learning opportunities designed to help employees to grow. Development is not primarily skills oriented. Instead it provides the general knowledge and attitudes, which will be helpful to employers in higher positions. Efforts towards development often depend on personal drive and ambition. Development activities such as those supplied by management development programs are generally voluntary in nature. Development provides knowledge about business environment, management principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry analysis and the like is useful for better management of a company.

The Training Inputs are • Skills • Education • Development • Ethics • Problem Solving Skills • Decision Making • Attitudinal Changes IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 36

5. Talent Management

It is a holistic and systematic process, across the group. It is built on the work done so far on people processes, and has a Talent Identification and Talent Development Strategy for all the 3 levels of management i.e. Senior, Middle & Junior Management. This is facilitated by Development Assessment Center followed by Individual Development Plan, enabling planned succession and career management. The talent management process includes HR process for • Recruitment, • Performance, • Compensation, • Succession planning, • Learning and other capabilities around self-service, • Analytics

• Reporting. With businesses going global and competition becoming intense, there is mounting pressure on organizations to deliver more and better than before. Organizations therefore need to be able to develop and deploy people who can articulate the passion and vision of the organization and make teams with the energy to perform at much higher levels. Talent management is a key business process and like any business process takes inputs and generates output. Talent management is a professional term that gained popularity in the late 1990s. It refers to the process of developing and fostering new workers through onboarding, developing and keeping current workers and attracting highly skilled workers to work for your company. Talent management in this context does not refer to the management of entertainers. Companies that are engaged in talent management (human capital management) are strategic and deliberate in how they source, attract, select, train, develop, promote, and move employees through the organization. This term also incorporates how companies drive performance at the individual level (performance management). The term talent management means different things to different people. • To some it is about the management of high-worth individuals or “the talented”. • To others it is about how talent is managed generally - i.e. on the assumption that all people have talent which should be identified and liberated. Talent management decisions are often driven by a set of organizational core competencies as well as position-specific competencies. The competency set may include knowledge, skills, experience, and personal traits (demonstrated through defined behaviors)

5. Job Analysis & Evaluation
It is broadly categorized in two parts. Job Analysis is a process to understand the job, identify and disaggregate the activities, competencies and accountabilities associated with the job. It defines and clusters the task required to perform the job. It also clarifies boundaries between jobs. The output of Job Analysis exercise is referred to as job description.

.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 41

STEPS (Process of Collecting Information) “Job Analysis is a process of studying and collecting information relating to operations and responsibilities of a specific job. The immediate products of this analysis are ‘Job Description’ and ‘Job Specifications’.” (S ystematic Exploration of Activities) “Job Analysis is a systematic exploration of activities within a job. It is a basic technical procedure that is used to define duties and responsibilities and accountabilities of the job.” (Identifying Job Requirements) “Job is a collection of tasks that can be performed by a single employee to contribute to the production of some product or service, provided by the organization. Each job has certain ability requirements (as well as certain rewards) associated with it. Job Analysis is a process used to identify these requirements.” Each job is a unique description of a role that a person can hold in an organization or required to be performed for the business benefit of that organization. When jobs are created, their tasks and requirements are taken into consideration. Jobs are used in the following components: • Job and Position Description • Shift Planning • Personnel Cost Planning • Career and Succession Planning Note: Job descriptions should be as general as possible and as detailed as necessary.

Positions

Positions
Positions are the concrete representation of jobs. They are held by individuals at your enterprise.

Positions are specific to your enterprise More than one position can be based on the same job Each position typically represents one employee, but may be partially filled by more than one

Job: Head of Dept.

Position: HOD : Purchasing Position: HOD : Sales

Position: HOD : HR

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 44

Once you have created a job, define the number of positions required the enterprise. Jobs are not staffed by employees. That is the role of positions. If more than one person must perform jobs, more than one position must be created to meet this requirement. A position inherits the job’s tasks, and can also be assigned its own additional tasks. Positions can be 100% staffed, partially staffed, or vacant. When we define a position as vacant, the system prompts us to define the period for which the position will be vacant There will be a central authority that will be designated to declare vacancies and make them available for Recruitment (both internal and external). Positions can fall vacant due to reassignment or Separation as well. Such positions become unoccupied and not vacant. Vacancy is thus a declared feature for a position. A chief position is a position designated as the leader of a particular organizational unit.

By matching the requirements of a position and the qualifications of the employees, we will be able to do career planning for employees and succession planning for positions. A profile matching reports can also be run to review the results of how an existing employee or an applicant fares against the requirements of a position.

6. Organizational Structure
Using the basic object types – constructs of relationships is built to mirror the business edifices and processes. By assigning object characteristics, validations, requirements etc, we can capture

complex organizational realities with relative ease.

Process Flow:

• Before creating all of the other necessary objects and relationships, the user must first create a root organizational l unit. Once one organizational unit has been created, it is recommended to create the appropriate organizational units below it. • Jobs may be created after an organizational unit exists in the model. • You can assign cost centers to organizational units and Positions.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected] [email protected]) )

Page 46

Inputs: Organization chart • Root org unit • Additional Org units • Jobs if Required • Positions • Details to where the positions need to be mapped. • Position Details like Position Type, Position Sub Type, Department, and Sub department. Every organization has its organizational structure. According to this every employee has some specific work. The work also depends upon their levels. As per their levels in different departments they will have to do their work.

In RMC business, there are different departments so as to organize the work efficiently and effectively. These are: • HR • Marketing • Technical • Commercial and Accounts • IT • Key Accounts • CRM • Quality As for different departments different works has been specified for the different levels of people. It helps them to perform their work, which has been specified to him. For similar jobs also the work of the employees’ has been structured properly, to avoid the repetition of the work with the other employees. It helps in decrease the overlapping of the work.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 47

To manage the different levels of work the employees have been separated in to different designations and different depts. According to their area of specialization. The designations which have been given to the employees are based on the skills they have, grades, knowledge, varying experiences. These designations have been specified as per the standard HR Practices of the organizations, so as to make the organization different from other organizations. In this way the organization stands in a better position than its competitors in the competitive business.

7. Human Resource Information System
POORNATA, an ERP (People soft) implementation of Human Resource practices has been introduced in UTCL to elevate HR processes to world class levels and standardize them across Units and Businesses. This has resulted in single integrated HR-ERP for all management cadre employees of the group. These automated HR Processes will also aid in faster, efficient, timely and accurate data availability to Management for decision-making. UTCL’s People Soft Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) enables it to achieve world-class performance by aligning the right information and resources to strategic objectives. People Soft EPM offers performance management solutions for every budget and every phase of the management cycle, helping its managers to formulate strategies for profitable growth, align strategies with operational plans, and actively monitor day-to-day operations. Poornata helps a lot in the different works of the organization. It helps in the following ways • It helps in entry of all the database of all the employees. • It reduces time to note all the databases of the employees. • It reduces different mistakes or errors while maintaining the databases • It helps in doing performance appraisal of the employees. • It also helps in doing the data updation of the employees. • It helps in recruitment and selection of the employees • It reduces the time of the work • It also reduces the no of employees for maintaining the database. • It helps in maintaining the job description of employees. • It records the compensation details for the employee.

Poornata also helps the employees in this way, IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 50

Once the data of an employee entered in to Poornata (ERP), the employee gets a Poornata ID, which helps the employees to know about the different policies of Organization. They can know these policies directly from the ERP system. As it done only through Online, there is no delay in getting different infomations. It also helps them to do the reporting to the concerned person. They can also fill their problems which they face during their work and send to their departments. In this way Poornata helps not only the managers but the employees also. Poornata (ERP) helps UTCL in the following ways Poornata helps in performing day to day roles. Introduction – Poornata helps in creating and updating of the positions of the employees. Each position will correspond to specific vacancy in the organization, have a specific headcount defined for it and is also tied to the following specific attributes: • Business unit • Department • Company • Job code • Location • Regulatory Region • Job Function • Reporting to position (The position to which this particular position reports to) • Career stages Every time one or more of the above attributes change, the same have to be updated for the position, or a new position may need to be created corresponding to the new combination of the attributes. IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 51

Any individual who occupies a position will inherit the above-mentioned attributes of the position. A position is thus specific and particular opening in the organization, as opposed to job codes, which are more generic in nature. Job codes reflect the job points of the jobs across the organization, whereas a position number reflects a specific job description in the organization. • Poornata helps and gives hints and warns the user the important information he must know about the Poornata system. • It provides the additional information to assist the user & provide key information. • It also tells the frequently asked questions with respect to hiring employees. • It also shows the common error and warning messages that the user may get at the time of hiring. It needs the information about regarding these: Employee ID, Position Number, Job code (the job points of the employee), Company (The legal entity to which an employee /department is attached.), The Business unit to which the employee belongs to, Location (i.e. where the employee works), Department etc. Following are the steps that will be used to maintain positions and department budgets • Creating new positions • Updating the information for existing positions as and when required 1. Creating a new position A position corresponds to a specific vacancy in the organization. Hence a position should be created in Poornata, only when a new vacancy has arisen in the organization, and the approval for the same has been obtained offline. Only after the offline approval has been obtained, should the position be created in the system, i.e. only pre-approved positions should be entered in to the system. 2. Updating The information for existing positions

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 52

From time to time the user should update the information for an existing position. Typical situations are when: • The position attributes or the approved max headcount for the position has changed. • The position no longer exists. • Organizational Restructuring. Direct Hire Process: It helps in doing the directly hiring an employee by Poornata system. Introduction: The direct hiring process involves an employee being directly added to the Poornata system that is the situation where his information doesn’t exits as applicant in the Poornata system. An employee on joining the group would fill up the joining check list and the related forms as per the unit policy. The HR administrator would then hire him into the system by capturing his relevant information with respect to his personal job compensation, qualifications and dependents’ information. The hire action will be used to capture the event of the employee’s joining the organization. There can be either of two reasons for hire: • Joining the ABG: This will reflect the situation where an employee joins a unit of the ABG group directly. • Joining the acquired company: This will reflect the situation where an employee had joined an organization, which was subsequently acquired by ABG. Going forward the action of joining the acquired company will be used to enter the data of those employees from the non-management cadre moving into the management cadre who had originally joined a company that was acquired by ABG. The following information would be captured at the time of hiring the employee.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 53

• Personal information – Name, address, NIN, DOB, gender marital status, religion / caste. • Job related information related to hiring, his position a related details. • Compensation information with respect to the break of his CTC Recording personal actions for an employee Introduction: Post hiring as the employee moves through the organization, there would be various kinds of updation in the employee data. Broadly the processes that an employee could move through in the course of his life cycle in the organization comprise: • Probation, followed by confirmation. • Promotion • Pay rate change • Transfer • Resignation • Termination • Separation /Retirement

8. Compensation Philosophy of the companyIt is an outcome of what the Organization would like to pay for, which is determined by external and internal factors. All the processes are aligned to reinforce the philosophy. The company views compensation not only as something that reflects on the pay slip or in the CTC (Cost To Company) but also they are concerned about overall employee well being though they may not put any monetary value on items like Scholarships, Club membership, Retirement benefit, Health and Accident coverage. The Group’s approach towards various aspects of compensation focuses on: • Pay for performance (Variable Pay) Rewards stretch performance which is linked to business, team and individual results • Compensation increase Pay for the job Internal equity based on contribution to the organization • External benchmarking Relevant industry segment and people market Parameters beyond compensation: head count/ level/ reporting Individual profile and performance To be market aware, not blindly follow market practices • Compensation structure Tax efficient but compliant Common perk structure but varying amount

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 55

Three major terms used in the company’s compensation: 1. Fixed Cost: It is the fixed component of the salary that is committed to an employee and is paid on monthly / annual basis. This includes base salary, all perks and reimbursements and retrials such as PF, Gratuity and Superannuation. 2. Variable Pay: This is the variable component, payout of which is contingent on Business, Unit/Zone and Individual performance. Targets for the year will be fixed and communicated at the beginning of every performance year 3. Cost to Company: This is a sum of Fixed Cost and Variable Pay. CTC is decided based on designation, qualification and experience. Basic is around 42% of fixed cost without housing. Perks and allowances are fixed as per the designations. Variable pay based on job band is payable at 18%, 15% and 12% of fixed cost without housing. Balance amount is paid as special allowance.

9. EXIT I TERVIEWS
An exit interview is simply a conversation between a departing employee (who is leaving the company either voluntarily or involuntarily) and a representative from the organization. The interview can follow a structured format or be conducted on an informal basis; written questionnaires can even be used in place of a face-to-face meeting. Whichever format is used, exit interviews are generally documented. Traditionally, exit interviews are conducted with employees leaving an organization. The purpose of the interview is to provide feedback on why employees are leaving, what they liked or didn’t like about their employment and what areas of the organization they feel need improvement. Exit interviews are one of the most widely used methods of gathering employee feedback, along with employee satisfaction surveys. Benefits of Exit Interview Exit interviews can be a win-win situation for both the organization and the leaver. The organization gets to retain a portion of the leaver’s knowledge and make it available to others, while the leaver gets to articulate their unique contributions to the organization and to ‘leave their mark’. Exit interviews offer a fleeting opportunity to find out information that otherwise might be more difficult or impossible to obtain. The exit interview is an important learning tool for employers. When properly conducted, the interview provides the employer with the opportunity to: • Discuss and clarify the reasons for the termination • Clarify pay and benefits issues (e.g., receipt of the last paycheck, the amount of unused vacation, conversion or continuation of benefits, terms of a severance package, unemployment insurance, etc.) • Explain company policies relating to departing employees (e.g., trade secret confidentiality, restrictive covenants or non-compete agreements, the possibility of future re-employment, freelance or contract work, the provision of references to prospective employers, etc.) IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 57

• Ensure the return of keys, security cards, and company property • Obtain information about improper or questionable management practices connected with the employee's termination • Obtain information about a supervisor's management skills • Obtain information about how effectively a department operates • Obtain feedback about employees' opinions and attitudes about the company • Resolve or defuse any remaining disputes with the exiting employee • Protect itself against subsequent charges that the employee was forced to resign (i.e., constructive discharge) UTCL is doing this interview. Because it knows “Learn of potential changes in policies and practices that may make the company more competitive (e.g., compensation and benefits packages, flexible work arrangements).

Comparison of HR Practices With the MASLOW’S theory-

I
Self-Esteem

Self Actualization

Belongingness & Love

Safety eeds

Physiological eeds

MASLOW’S EED HIERACHY THEORY

Explanation:According to Maslow “Human beings have wants & desires which can influence their behavior. Only unsatisfied needs can influence behavior, satisfied needs do not act as motivators. Since needs are many, they are arranged in the order of their importance, or hierarchy from the basic to complex.”

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 60

Physiological eeds The most basic, powerful & obvious of all human needs is the need for physical survival. Included in this group are the needs for food, drink, sleep, protection from extreme temperature etc. That means the basic needs.

In UTCL physiological needs are represented by Employees’ concern for salary Basic working conditions. E.g.-In workers level it is providing the basic needs (e.g. through wages), which are required for them. It gives all hygienic factors to the workers (better working environment). It’s also providing uniforms & shoes, so that they will get satisfied at their working place and get motivated to work efficiently. It’s not only providing the physiological needs at working level but at employees’ level also.

Safety eedsOnce physiological needs are met, another set of motives, called safety or security needs, become motivators. The primary motivating force here is to ensure a reasonable degree of continuity, order, structure, & predictability in one’s environment.

In UTCL security needs means the factors like Job security, Salary increments, Safe working conditions etc. It also satisfy the safety needs of employees include Group insurance, Provident fund, gratuity, IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 61

Safe working conditions, Grievance procedure, System of seniority to govern lay-off etc. It’s definitely provides job securities to its employees because once employee get in to the organization, the chances of retrenchment is very less till the employee has not done any thing misconduct. Because of these reasons employees can satisfy their safety needs. That is the reason for low attrition in the organization.

Belonging & Love eeds The belonging & Love needs constitute the third level in the hierarchy of needs. These needs arise when physiological & safety needs are satisfied.

In UTCL the work groups are very co-operative. There present the peer acceptance, Professional friendship & Friendly supervision in the organization. Here the managers also encourage informal group.

So there is completely a friendly working environment. That’s why employees are very friendly.

Self-Esteem eedsNext in Maslow’s hierarchy is esteem or egoistic needs.

In the work place of UTCL, self-esteem needs are; Job title, merit pay, Peer/supervisory recognition, Challenging works, Responsibility etc. The Group fulfils these needs by giving Challenging work assignments, IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected]) Page 62

Performance appraisals, Performance recognition, Involving employees in goal setting & decision making. In this way UTCL satisfies the self-esteem needs of employees.

Self-Actualization eedsFinally if all the above four levels’ needs are satisfied, the needs for self-actualization comes. The employees who are in the highest position in UTCL are comes under these needs like: 1.V.P., 2.President, 3.GM etc. 4.All top level employees. They are getting all types of facilities like mobile, medical, education, conveyance allowances etc.So they are in the position that they are satisfied with all the needs. Now they are helping their juniors for the betterment of the organization. All the five needs of Maslow’s hierarchy are fulfilled by UTCL. So the employees are getting motivated and performing efficiently in the organization, which impacts directly on the success of UTCL group. That’s why the attrition rate is less in the organization, which is one of the reason for the success of the companies.

KEY LEAR I GS FROM THE PROJECT
• Firstly it was a very good experience to work and learn with a world class for two months as it was my first step into the corporate world. • When I saw my senior people doing each & every kind of work I came to know how much important is each & every work. Maintaining files in systematic manner with each & every detail is very important, if not done it hinders the work whenever these are required for reference in medical claim formalities, appraisal etc. • As I worked with the employees of HR department in the organization during the project they shared their experience and learnings with me, which was a very good opportunity I got during my project. • I learned different HR Policies of the organization which were unknown to me before entering to the corporate world. • I also learned how much the values and culture of the organization impacts the employees productivity. Like here the Seniors were approachable in nature, I felt an open culture. • Many a times I felt people are not open to new ideas and they are resistant to change. • I have gained some learning from every individual working here; it might be in terms of knowledge, skills, behavior or personal traits etc. • I have learned many small, minute things by observations, being in the HR department for 2 months, which could not be learnt simply by reading books theoretically. The practical experience was totally different. • I have also learnt that a HR person should be very polite, soft spoken & good in handling people. Co-ordination with all departments is very necessary especially with Finance Department.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

Page 64

OBSERVATIO S A D FI DI GS

During the study of the project I observed different functions of the HR Department. I got the knowledge about the different types of HR Policies functioning in the organization. I also got knowledge about how the organization is following their values in a very sincere way. I learnt how and what types of facilities are being provided to the employees . I also observed how they are doing the Performance Appraisal on basis of the achievement of the targets by the employees in the time given to them through ERP. I got the knowledge about different departments in a manufacturing company and idea about the challenges what the employees are facing while performing their work. As I worked on the ERP system of the organization, I came to know that how they are maintaining the database of the employees for all departments region-wise & its importance. They emphasis on providing proper working environment to their employees, so that the employees can work efficiently & smoothly .

IBSAR Navi Mumbai ([email protected])

LIMITATIO S
During the project there were various constraints, which were faced. The review is done in retrospect and is an average of six months old, so recollection of events is poor . The opinions of staff and manager are often in opposition, causing de-motivation . The process is usually Manager driven and the staff member is expected to be compliant in the interview . The process usually involves the Manager giving their opinion and the staff member having to defend the position, rather than a positive discussion . The process is usually done in a rushed manner to meet a budget development process and therefore loses its relevance to performance . Results of merit rating are not accurate unless factors in the assessment are relevant. Sometimes,proper weightage may not be given to different qualities to be rated. Actual rating of subjective factors like initiative & personality of employees may not be on scientific lines. Superior may be biased. Method of Appraisal unreliable.
