After joining the bank for internship initially it was so difficult for me to get the attention of the employees, employees, every body was terribly terribly engaged in there own activiti activities, es, no body was having time to accommodate me. This was a crucial time for me to get the attention of   NBP’s management and to make them realize that their valuable information is so much necessary for the up gradation of my knowledge and for the completion of the task which I was assigned by the institution. But very soon I succeeded in making relationship with the top influence people and with the help of these people I started permeated in the system. This was my first step towards the completion of my task and with the passage of  time they realized that they can also utilize my efforts in a productive way to minimize their burden.

Internship Report

Suggestions and Recommendations Recommendations Based on the SWOT and PEST analysis of the National Bank of Pakistan, it is observed that the Bank like the other public sector industries has not been showing up u p to mark   performance. There is a long list of weaknesses that is given on the previous page. Most of them are going along since long time and that all efforts made to remove them have not succeeded. On the basis of SWOT analysis of the Bank the following suggestions and recommendations are given.



Bank should try to get rid of the political influence to be able to compete in the industry with prudent and strong policies.



The undue reliance on the public sector be minimized and ventures of private sectors should be taken as well.



Redefining of rules, regulations and policies should be made implemented at all costs.



Efforts of great importance to be made for the over the counter services of general  banking making it more simple and faster to get a better response of the ccustomers. ustomers.



The behavior of the employee, especially on the counter has to be strictly monitored and checked.



The still existed bureaucratic approval system has to be demolished.



All advances should be made by getting the maximum security and should focus on  productive work.



Better and comprehensive long-term and short-term planning should be made to forecast the future needs.



There is a possibility of establishing a task force to ascertain the effectiveness of the  policies being implemented.



The Bank Bank should should develo develop p a compre comprehens hensive ive recrui recruitme tment nt policy policy to make only the competent ones to be on the job.

Internship Report ∗

There is a still a vast pool of incompetent employees that has to right sized.



There is a lack of promotional element in the planning and budgetary decisions of the Bank that has to think seriously.





All branches of the Bank should be computerized for increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of its employees. Efforts should be continued to keep the powers of employees union to the minimum, like the current situation.



Promotions must not be delayed and should be made on time to further increase the commitment and efficiency of the employees.

These and many other that can make a good set of recommendations, which have to be made possible to escape from the threats and an d weaknesses and the risks in environment that surrounds the Bank. The management do considers the policy matter that is not helping the Bank, but are still in practice due the absence of prudentially regulated system to protect them and the Bank. Efforts have been made with serious concern to give giv e NBP a status that it has to maintain  by having practices of:



Right sizing of the employees.



By closing unprofitable branches.



By introducing a merit based selection criteria.



Promotions made conditional with qualifications.
