EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
“The only vital value an enterprise has is the experience, skills, innovativeness and
insights of its people”
Human resource is the pillar for any organization. In order to survive in the current
competitive environment it is mandatory for every company to recruit people with
requisite skill, qualifications and experience. Beyond recruitment, retaining the
employees in the organization is a major issue. For retention of the employees for a
perpetual growth of the company the company needs to meet the various needs of the
employees. The company must ensure a healthy and a beneficial environment to the
employees. The welfare of the employees in various perspectives have to given priorities
to satisfy them.
As a HR student merely learning about the Recruitment and Employee welfare measure
is insufficient. A full fledged training on these topics would give a pragmatic knowledge
to the student. It also reveals the various hurdles in the company that serious affect these
important functions of a HR manager and the various internal and external factors that
affect the HR policies of any company.

and the Welfare measures inculcated by the corporate players with the sample of HR
practices followed in these functions.

RECRUITMENT
Definition
Recruitment is the process id locating and encouraging potential applicants to apply for
existing or anticipated job openings. It is actually a linking function, joining together
those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs. Recruitment, logically, aims at (i) attracting
a large number of qualified applicants who are ready to take up the job it it’s offered and
(ii) offering enough information for unqualified persons to self-select themselves out.
Constraints and Challenges
In actual practice, it is always not easy to find and select a suitable candidate for a job
opening. The recruiter’s choice of a communication medium may not be appropriate.
Some of the bright candidates may bein to view the vacancy as not in line with their
current expectations.
The most suitable ones may not have been motivated to apply due to several other
constraints
 Poor Image: If the image of a firm is perceived to be low, the likelihood
of attracting a large number of qualified applicants is reduced

 Unattractive Job: If the job to be filled is not very attractive, most


prospective candidates may turn indifferent and may not even apply.

 Conservative internal Policies: A policy of filling vacancies through


internal promotions based on seniority, experience, job knowledge etc.
may often come in the way of searching for qualified hands in the broader
job market in an unbiased way.

 Limited budgetary support: Recruiting efforts require money,,


sometimes because of limited resources, organizations may not carry on
the recruiting effectively for long periods on time.

Jerince Peter B.Tech, M.B.A 11 7/4/2009


Copyright@2009
Training of Recruitment and Employee Welfare Measures in SGJ Group of Companies,
Tirunelveli
 Restrictive policies of government: Government policies often come in
the way of recruiting people as per the rules for the company on the basis
of merit/seniority etc.

Sources of recruitment
The sources of recruitment are broadly classified into two categories: internal and
external sources.
INTERNAL SOURCES
Persons who are already working in an organization constitute the ‘internal sources’.
Retrenched employees, retired employees, dependents of deceased employees may also
constitute the internal sources. Whenever any vacancy arises, someone from within the
organization is upgraded, transferred, promoted or even demoted
EXTERNAL SOURCES
External sources lie outside the organization. Here the organization can have the services
of (a) Employees working in other organizations (b) Job aspirants registered with the
employment exchange (c) Students fro reputed educational institutions (d) Candidates
referred by unions. Friends, relatives and existing employees (e) Candidates forwarded
by search firms and contractors (f) Candidates responding to the advertisements, issued
by the organization and (g) Unsolicited applications/Walk-ins.
EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Labour welfare work is undertaken by various groups within and outside an organization
to improve the living of workers. The objective is to make the employees happy, healthy,
committed and loyal.
Employee or labour welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits
and facilities offered to the employees by the employers. Through such generous fringe
benefits the employer makes life worth living for the employees. The welfare amenities
are extended in addition to normal wages and other economic rewards available to
employees as per the legal provisions.

Importance
Jerince Peter B.Tech, M.B.A 12 7/4/2009
Copyright@2009
Training of Recruitment and Employee Welfare Measures in SGJ Group of Companies,
Tirunelveli
The significance of welfare measures was accepted as early as 1931, when the Royal
Commission on labour stated: The benefits are great importance to the worker which he
is unable to secure by him. The schemes of labour welfare may be regarded as a wise
investment because these would bring a profitable return in the form of greater efficiency.
Labour welfare thus serves the following purposes:
 Enables workers to have a richer and more satisfying life

 Raises the standard of living of the employees by indirectly reducing the


burden on their pocket.

 Absorbs the shocks injected by industrialization and urbanization on


workers.

 Promotes a sense of belonging among the workers, preventing them from


resorting to unhealthy practices like absenteeism, labour turnover, strike
etc.

1.1INDUSTRY PROFILE
DEALERSHIP BUSINESS
Dealership Business Model
Automobile dealerships of today are capital intensive business and no less than that of a
level of a big or medium corporate house. Look at the following few factors and you will
realize why they are considered big;
• Initial cost of setting up dealership
• Number of people employed
• Promotions and advertisement costs you incur
• Statutory obligations you that need to be fulfilled (employee benefits,
Taxes)
• Importance of your identity in market place Goodwill and Image in the
market
• Wide Customer base you have
• Policies and Processes you follow
• Inventory Levels you carry
• Your Gross turnovers
• Social or community obligations
All of the above are comparable or at times higher than various professional companies
listed in your local stock exchanges! For that matter there are few automobile groups
whose shares are traded in the stock exchange. It is therefore very important that
automobile dealerships are run professionally befitting to the size of establishment and
turnovers. The fundamental premise when running an automobile dealership is to quickly
create a huge database (both demographic & phsycographic) of current and potential new
segment customers in a cost-effective manner. A comprehensive database would be very
useful both for sales and service department of dealerships, as all activities of customer
relationships would revolve around it. The second key strategy is to establish what is
considered as the dealerships fixed expense (not including direct sales expenses i.e.
discounts, incentives, scheme adverts, specific field visit expenses, inventory holding cost

Jerince Peter B.Tech, M.B.A 14 7/4/2009

etc) per month and calculate how quickly it can be covered by workshop gross profits of
a work shop.
• This is the concept of Service Absorption and the dealership should very quickly
write down a strategy to get 100% Service Absorption.
• A dealership with 100% Service Absorption would not be unduly bothered by
cyclic nature of new vehicle sales and can always keep sales teams focus to work
towards expanding the pond.
Dealerships who are strong in the areas of generating "Prospect Data" and have ensured
100% "Service Absorption" will continue delivering high performances when compared
to dealerships that lag behind in these two areas.
The third key strategy for a dealership is to capitalize on various allied revenue
generation channels that are linked to automobile sales:
• Insurance on new vehicle sales
• Insurance renewals
• Financing of new vehicles
• Accessory sale
• Sub contracting body shop
• Towing services
• Used vehicles sales
• Annual maintenance etc
This complex nature of business offers plenty of opportunities to generate revenue
provided if one is able to create a loyal customer base of people who not only repeatedly
use dealer services, but also is a strong advocate of the dealership to his / her friends and
relatives.

2.REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Since a developing country like India is still growing through the process of economic
development, it is of great consequence and somewhat easier for here to counteract
effectively the baneful effects of the industrial revolution which have adversely affected
the people all over the world. The need or labour welfare was strongly felt by the
community of royal commission on labour as far back as in 1931, primarily because of
lack of commitment to industrial work among factory workers and also the harsh
treatment they received from employers. This need was emphasized by the constitution of
India in the chapter on the directive principles of stat policy.
Importance of labour welfare measures
Employee welfare is in the interest of the employee, the employer and the society as a
whole. For the employee, welfare measures help to counteract the negative effects of the
factory system. These measures enable the employee and his family to lead a good life.
For the employer, welfare measures lead to higher productivity of labour. Employee
welfare is also in the interest if the larger society because the health, happiness and
efficiency of each individual represent the well being of all, thus, employee welfare
provides the following benefits.
1. Welfare activities influence the sentiment of the workers. When workers feel that
the employer and the state are interested in their happiness, the tendency to grouse
and grumble by the employee will steadily disappear. The development of such a
feeling paves the way for industrial peace.

2. The provisions of various welfare measures such as good housing, canteen,


medical and sickness benefits etc. makes them realize that they have also some
stake in the undertaking in which they are engaged and so they think thrice before
taking any reckless action which might prejudice the interest of undertaking.

3. Welfare measures, such as cheap food in the canteen, free or concessional medical
and educational facilities, also various allowances for travel, education of their
children etc. indirectly increase the real income of the workers. Hence, they will

Tirunelveli
try to avoid industrial disputes as far as possible and do not go on strike on flimsy
grounds.

4. Welfare activities will reduce labour turnover and absenteeism and create
permanent settled labour force by making service attractive to the labour.

5. Welfare activities will go a long way to better the mental and moral health of
workers by reducing the incidences of vices of industrialization.

6. Welfare measures will improve the physique, intelligence, morality and standard
of living of the workers which in turn, will improve their efficiency and
productivity.

7. Welfare measures help to improve recruitment. As the job becomes more


attractive, more efficient workers can be recruited.

8. Improvement in material, intellectual and cultural conditions of life protects


workers from social evils like smoking, drinking, gambling, prostitution etc.

9. Welfare measured help to improve the goodwill and public image of the
enterprise. Voluntary efforts for the welfare of workers reduce the threat of
further intervention.

Legal framework of labour welfare in INDIA


The origin of labour welfare activity in India goes back to 1837, following th abolition of
slavery in 1833, the British colonies started improving Indian labour. Labour welfare
activity largely controlled by legislation, the earliest act being the Apprentices act of
1850. The Fatal Accident act of 1853, which aimed at providing compensation to the
families of workmen who lost their lives as a result of any “actionable wrong”. Then
came the Merchant shipping act of 1859, which regulated the employment of seaman and
provided for their health, accommodation and protection.
A review of all these enactments shows that they were drawn up with specific objectives
and that they do not indicate any planned policy or approach to labour welfare. And they

were aattempts at regulating employment rather than improving the working condition of
the worker.
There was a rapid increase in industrial activity during the First World War, leading to an
increase in the number of industrial workers. The wear also had a tremendous impact on
the attitudes of government and society towards labour. The international labour
organization (ILO) was set up in 1919. For the first time, the importance of labour in the
economic and social reconstruction of the world was recognized
Hiring by private firms may shrink further
India may see a further dip in recruitment in the organized private sector, while salary
hikes given to employees will also be affected due to the economic crisis.
“The next three to five months will be tougher period for companies in terms of
recruitment” HR services provider Ma Foi Group and randstat India Managing director
K. Pandiarajan
Participating in a colloquium on ‘HR trends, global employment environment and the
impact of the current economic crisis on the Indian job market’, he said there would be a
further dip in recruitment in the organized private sector in the country
“The salary hikes given to employees by private companies are also going to be
affected”, he said
A Ma Foi survey had found that the estimated 8.8% increase in salary hike was expected
to come down by 4% this year.

4. METHODOLOGY

There are many different ways to train. The method by which training is delivered often
varies based on the needs of the company, the trainee, and on the task being performed.
The method should suit the audience, the content, the business environment, and the
learning objective. Common group training methods include:

Lecture

A lecture is the method learners often most commonly associate with college and
secondary education. Yet, it is also considered one of the least effective methods to use
for adult learners. In this method, one person (the trainer) does all of the talking. He or
she may use handouts, visual aids, question/answer, or posters to support the lecture.
Communication is primarily one-way: from the instructor to the learner.

Demonstration

Demonstration is very effective for basic skills training. The trainer shows trainees how
to do something. The trainer may provide an opportunity for trainees to perform the task
being demonstrated.

Seminar

Seminars often combine several group methods: lectures, discussions, conferences,


demonstrations.

Conference

The conference training method is a good problem-solving approach. A group considers a


specific problem or issue and they work to reach agreement on statements or solutions.

Panel

A panel provides several points of view on a topic to seek alternatives to a situation.


Panel members may have differing views but they must also have objective concerns for
the purpose of the training. This is an excellent method for using outside resource people.

Role Playing

During a role play, the trainees assume roles and act out situations connected to the
learning concepts. It is good for customer service and sales training.

Jerince Peter B.Tech, M.B.A 28 7/4/2009

Tirunelveli

Case Studies

A case study is a description of a real or imagined situation which contains information


that trainees can use to analyze what has occurred and why. The trainees recommend
solutions based on the content provided.

Simulations

Trainees participate in a reality-based, interactive activity where they imitate actions


required on the job. It is a useful technique for skills development.

Projects

Projects require the trainees to do something on the job which improves the business as
well as helps them learn about the topic of training. It might involve participation on a
team, the creation of a database, or the forming of a new process. The type of project will
vary by business and the skill level of the trainee.

Common individual training methods include:

Self-discovery

Trainees discover the competencies on their own using such techniques as guided
exercises, books, and research.

Movies/videos/computer-based training

Content for the training experience comes primarily from a videotape or computer-based
program.

On-the-job training

This is the most common method of training. The trainee is placed on the job and the
manager or mentor shows the trainee how to do the job. To be successful, the training
should be done according to a structured program that uses task lists, job breakdowns,
and performance standards as a lesson plan.

Mentoring

A mentor can tutor others in their learning. Mentors help employees solve problems both
through training them in skills and through modeling effective attitudes and behaviors.
This system is sometimes known as a buddy system.
