EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Department of business administration demands every student of MBA program and to submit an evaluation report based on the observations and work done during the period. It is actually the review of an organization currently running its business, having its competitors. The main objective of the study of the functions of the human resources departments and to point out any deficiencies, lacunas and give suggestions for their improvement. Hypothesis The problems faced by the organization are dimensional ranging from in its procedure of its promotion, job description in various departments of its employees have not been identified properly. Therefore the employees are not satisfied with the working of the promotional Board. Some employees working in different capacities were not satisfied as they are heavily burdened of execution of their responsibilities in relation to the work assigned to them. More over, the employees are not trained according their specialized task performed by them. They are given general training so while performing the specified task, it is difficult for them to be more accurate which badly affects their efficiency. In the era of specialization, the employee should be trained according to specified task and the refreshing process should be conducted at frequent intervals. Justification The Human Resource Department is most important and key factor for the success of any kind of business organization, especially the organization which marketing its material for diversified nature of products. Undoubtedly their role is vital to integrate all the activities and functions of the Organization like job analysis, recruitment, staffing, training, designing compensation packages, and employees appraisal system. Benefits

Included under this category are pensions, group life insurance, hospital and medical insurance, sickness leave pay plans, supplemental unemployment compensation, loan funds, credit unions, social programs, recreational programs and college tuition refunds plans. The actual decisions to establish or to expand these programs are always made by top hierarchy of the management on the advice of the human resource department. The preparation of formula for pension and insurance programs requires a great deal of technical knowledge. These programs are generally worked out with the assistance of consultants of insurance companies. After these plans are installed, the day to day processing of claims is handled by the human resource department Health and Safety A significant part on occupational health programs is the identification and control of agents within the working environment that can cause occupational diseases. Some agents involved in this programme could be gases, dusts, fumes, toxic chemicals and metals, noise, heat, radiation, biological substances. Industrial hygienists are employed to identify and control such hazards to health. Other important elements of employees health programs are preemployment medical examinations, periodic examinations for those working on jobs having exposure to occupational disease-causing agents, rendering of first aid, treatment of minor ailments such as colds and headache, and providing health education information. Small companies usually hire medical physicians, nurses and industrial hygienists for purposes of consultation on full time or on part time basis. Large firms tend to be staffed with full time personnels in these areas. The safety program is directed toward the prevention of work injuries. The main elements are engineering, education and enforcement. The safety director who is usually a member of human resource department works closely with the plant engineering unit to ensure that machines and equipment acquired are properly guarded. New production processes and machines should be designed in order to avoid any possibility of human injury.

One example is a computer monitoring, which determines accurately an employee's performance which engaged in a specified job. Evaluation is formally documented for a given time period in the performance appraisal The appraisal and annual confidential report (ACR) plays a great role in the accomplishment of job evaluation. The job evaluated by the department head with the help of human resource staff by using different methods in consultation with manager human resource. On the basis of department head and human resource staff members job evaluation the human resource department head make recommendations for appraisal. Labor Management Relations When a union has been certified by the national labor relations board, as the result of an election, as the sole and exclusive bargaining agency for the employees. The management must bargain with it in regard to wages, rate of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment. The principal tasks involved in handling labor relations are through contract negotiation, contract interpretation and administration, and grievance handling. The human resource department plays very significant role in labor-management relations. The director of

industrial relation & Admin usually serves as an important member in the bargaining team who often act as chief management spokesman. In operating a day to day basis the terms of the labor agreement, line supervision often finds frequently occasion to consult the human resource department regarding matters such as allocation of over time, handling of transfers and layoffs, and the application of contract work rules. Compensation Administration The work of designing and installing as well as the job evaluation program is handled by the human resource department in consultation with the line managers of each category. The decision to adopt a particular pay structure of the employees working in different grades by fixing their wage grade wise is the task of the top management of the organization. The day to day work of analyzing jobs by evaluating their worth according to a formal job evaluation plan, and also maintaining their performance records is the responsibility of the human resource department. Periodic wage changes are conducted by the human resource department but in case any firm decided to make change in the entire schedule is the discretion invariably enjoyed by the chief executive officer of the organization. Promotion, Transfer, Layoff For these tasks, the human resource plays its prime role in its capacity as a coordinator. When employees are shifted from one department to another either because of the business needs or as result of individual requests, the personnel records of the individual concerned may be considered as the principal element to adjudge the merit of his performance while transferring him to other department. Layoffs usually carried out by the human resource department to ensure the proper performance of the organization according to its yield. This is a complex matter as it can create complication if restraint care is not exercise. In combinations of jobs, departmental, and plant wide seniority rights are

not observed. When a vacancy occurs in a position, it may be filled by promotion from within or by direct hiring from outside the company. This decision is often made jointly between the human resource manager and the executive in change of the department where the vacancy has occurred. Many companies may establish policies to cover matters of this type.

The reason is that discharge is a major penalty and should rarely be used only when a very clear severe case of negligence is committed. In addition, it is essential to achieve companywide uniformity in the handling of such cases. Discipline has two principal meanings. The first is training or correction. It means achieving and maintaining of employee behavior orderly because the people understand and believe in the established codes of conduct.
