Bharat Petroleum
As we all know Bharat Petroleum is one of those organizations that has had a
tremendous success and a remarkable contribution in the petroleum industry. The
company definitely recognizes the significance of HR in todays corporate world & so, it
ensures the genuine practicing of HR amongst various departments in the organization.
The most imp. HR policy that has been adopted by the company is the promotional
policy. The organization ensures that in order to improve the performance as well as to
motivate the employees they are promoted whenever they deserve it. However, it so
made clear to each and every employee that he will be awarded promotion an two basis
.i.e. performance and seniority. Both these factors are equally important though if an
employee is performing really way efficiently, and giving his best, then, in that case. He
might be awarded a promotion ignoring the seniority factor, so that, the employee is
motivated to keep up the good work. Similarly, an employee would be quite senior in the
organization in turns of service but, would not perform and contribute in the progress and
success of the organizations as per the desired occupation of the organization. In such
cases, promotion is certainly not considered for the employee by the management. This
can be explained with an example i.e. Supposed by an employee may have a 10 year
residency in a single grade, but, due to lack of efficient performance he may not get
promoted to another grade. Whereas, in contrast an employee who is from the younger
generation and has pursued specialized professional degrees like MBA, CA or any other
degree would be fully motivated to give his best in order to accomplish his goals and so
seeing his hardwork, declication and commitment the management may promote him
even if he just has a 2-3 year. Residency, in a single grade.
Determining performance of on employee is not at all an easy job for the organization &
so to the same the organization follows the PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
SYSTEM (P.M.S.) which is conducted once in every financial year. Under this system,
the employee are rated for the work performed by the employee & also this system
enables the organization to determine the productivity of the employee. The employees
are given ratings as per the points allotted to them. So the employees with the maximum
point can be called the most efficient employee of the organization. Thus, in this way the
P.M.S. system enables the organization to employee & thus, performance of the
employee & thus, it helps the management to reward them with promotion and various
other incentives.
