Overview of HR Division

3.1 Introduction:

Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses on Recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the Organization.  Human Resource Management can also be performed by line managers. It is the organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as compensation, Hiring, performance management, organization development, safety, wellness, benefits, Employee motivation, communication, administration, and training.

The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies.

Usually small businesses have to carry out these activities themselves because they can’t yet afford part or full-time help. However, they should always ensure that employees have their own rights and are aware of personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have. The market place for talented, skilled people is competitive and expensive. Taking on new staff can be disruptive to existing employees. Also, it takes time to develop ‘cultural awareness’,

Product/ process/ organization knowledge and experience for new staff members. Human resource management does this job.

3.2 Functions of HR:

The functions of human resource management are:

        i.            Staffing

      ii.            Training and Development

    iii.            Motivation

    iv.            Maintenance.

By doing all these functions Human resource management does its job. Staffing in HRM:

Activities in HRM concerned with seeking and hiring qualified employees is Staffing.

A company needs a well defined reason for needing individuals who posses specific skills, knowledge and abilities to specify the job. Employee referrals can produce the best applicants for two reasons. First, current employees screen applicants before referring them. Second, current employees believe that their reputations with the firm will be reflected in the candidates that they recommend.

Employee referrals can produce the best applicants for two reasons. First, current employees screen applicants before referring them. Second, current employees believe that their reputations with the firm will be reflected in the candidates that they recommend.

Recruiting is the initial step of staffing. Recruiting is the process of locating, identifying, and attracting capable employees. Many companies are finding new employees on the World Wide Web. The source that is used should reflect the local labor market, the type or level of position, and the size of the organization. Now the second step of Staffing, that is strategic HR planning. For that a company plans strategically. They set goals and objectives, these goals and objectives may lead to the structural changes in the company.

Third step is selection. This process is attracting qualified applicators and discouraging the unqualified applicants. By this a company can get its desired employees of requirement. It has dual focus, attempting thin out the large set of applications that arrived during the recruiting phase and to select an applicant who will be successful on the job.

To achieve this goal, companies can use a variety of steps. The employees who are able to do all the steps and ensure good performance they get the job. HRM must communicate a variety of information to the applicants, such as the organization culture.

 ii.                                                          Training and Development:

Training is one of the important activities of human resource management. In the training process companies try to motivate and train the employees in a manner so that they can work more effectively in the future. Under the training process there are some steps they are given below:

  • Employee orientation: Employee orientation provides new employees with the basic background information they need to perform their jobs satisfactorily. Companies arrange an orientation program for the employees.

In an orientation program the employees should feel-

  • feel welcome
  • understand the organization in a broad sense
  • be clear about what the firm expects in terms of work and behavior
  • begin the process of socialization
  • Employee training:  

There is some process, method and techniques of employee training. A company follows the all the steps of training to provide the employees a good look on their work.

  • Employee development:

 Employee development is like the output of training. In development stage employees are motivated after their proper training. The development of an employee can be organizational. Organization development aims to change the attitudes, values, and beliefs of employees so that the employees can identify and implement changes.

  • Career development:

The career development stage is given below

  • Pre transition: Is simply looking for a job and preparing oneself for a career.
  • Transition:  An individual is already having a job and developing oneself for future career or moving to another career.
  • Preferred area: An individual prefers a specific sector of the career.
  • Early stage: First 1-5 years of career is called early career.
  • Mid career: 5-20 years after the career starts.
  • Late career: Late career starts after 20 years of job life.
  • Retirement: And finally after completing the stages of career and individual decides to retired.

 iii.                                                       Motivation in HRM

Motivation is concerned with getting someone to do something one want or, on an individual basis, wanting to do something for own self for a particular reason. For many businesses, the most expensive asset they possess is their human resources. These resources are hired for the value that they add to a business – as a result it makes sense to ensure that the business gets the best out of those resources.

On other words Motivation is to inspire people to work, individuals in such as to produce best results. It is the willingness to exert high level of effort towards organizational goals, conditioned by the efforts and ability to satisfy some individual needs.

An important part of the retention of staff, reducing staff turnover and minimizing absenteeism at work is ensuring that staff are properly motivated. The wage should be increased, the facilities should be insured and social security should be confirmed. These are the types of common motivational ways.

Staff motivation is the cornerstone of open, flexible and caring management culture, which the Government aims to establish through HRM.

To put it into practice, “open” means not only to listen to staff suggestions and opinions, but also to empower staff, accept their constructive criticisms and use their suggestions.

To be “flexible”, we may need to change the traditional ways of doing things. As far as staff motivation is concerned, the biggest challenge perhaps is to stop focusing on problems and the guilty party (police behavior) and start looking for those responsible for things gone right (coach behavior).

“Caring” calls for a human leader who would give emotional support to individuals and at the same time attend to the overall emotional needs of team members – which include treating them all in a fair and impartial manner.

Today’s employees want a respect that can be seen as involvedness in decision that will affect them. Listening to the employees is a way of Motivation. All the motivation functions focus on one primary goal, to have some competent and adapted employees with up-to-date skills, knowledge and abilities, exerting high energy levels.

 That’s how we belief that “people are our most important asset”. The basic principle underpinning motivation is that if employees are led effectively, they will seek to give of their best voluntarily without the need for control through rules and sanctions — they will eventually be self-motivating.

 iv.                                                          Maintenance of employees:

           To maintain the employees of a company must look after the employee-

a.      Health and safety: For employees health and safety then there is an act called OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) which assures Assure so far as possible every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful working conditions and to preserve our human resources.

The basic purpose of OSHA is to administer the act and to set and enforce the safety and health standards and responsible for promulgating legally enforceable standards. It is said that Employers with 11 or more employees must maintain records of occupational injuries and illnesses, and report both occupational injuries and occupational illnesses.

  1. Communication: The communication between the employees and top level management should be clear and transparent. There should no gap between top level management and low level management.
  1. Employee’s relation: Employees should be committed to their companies and the companies also should understand the needs and wants of the employees. In some companies employees and labors create labor union for better relationship among the workers and employees.

 6.      Dhaka Bank is always there for Social Welfare:

 Dhaka Bank has fully commitment towards serving the communities in which it operates. The bank believes that healthy economy and sound banking go together. A chunk of the bank’s annual profit is being given to the Dhaka Bank Foundation for social welfare. The main objective of the foundation was to invest part of the bank’s profit in poverty alleviation and community welfare.

The Dhaka bank foundation and the employees of the bank take part in diverse charitable and voluntary programs. The foundation had made allocations in different areas of poverty alleviation and primary health care programs for the low-income group. Substantial fund had also been allocated for research works on various socio-economic issues confronting the nation. All these strongly reflected strong commitment of the bank to work closely through foundation with the community with which it co-exists.

7.      Dhaka Bank provides online Banking Services:

           Dhaka Bank is among the few banks in Bangladesh, which provides the online banking services to its customers. By using the modern banking services, a Dhaka Bank customer can withdraw or deposit an amount of cash under the Dhaka Bank account no matter in which branch the actual account exist. This service gives its customer huge flexibility. More and more urban customers are becoming attracted to this service day by day.

The customer can not only make transactions through online services but also can check their balances. This online service provides great benefit for the customers, as they do not have to face the hassle of going into the bank and then doing their works, or knowing their balances from the bank, instead they can know it instantly through online service of Dhaka Bank.

8.      Training and development system of Dhaka Bank is a prime reason of their success:

Dhaka Bank has a personnel-training institute with good resources. They give regular training to the officer of both middle and lower levels. Again if there is any strategy or technology change, there will be special training program arranged based on individual needs.

They arrange special training on their software also which they use in the bank to operate their system, which eventually becomes beneficial not only for the employee but also for the bank, because if they do not know the exact procedure of carrying out work in their system then that might affect them both the employee end into making mistake, and as a result the reputation of the bank also might get hamper ed.

9.  Strong financial resources to ensure the growth of the bank:

In the years 2004 Dhaka Bank’s total capital  TK.2, 476.34 million. The bank’s capital surplus in the year 2004 was TK. 401.53 million. Dhaka bank’s total deposits were TK.28, 069.24 million and the total loans and advances were TK 23,219.67 million, which makes the credit deposit ratio stand at 83% for the year 2004.

Dhaka bank’s total assets were TK.32, 361.62 million. Of it TK. 29137.28 million were interested earning assets and the rest TK. 322.34 million was non-interest earning assets. So it seems that it terms of financial resources Dhaka Bank has no lacking. And the bank has adequate resources at its disposal considering the size of the bank and this was a good enough platform to ensure future growth of the bank.

 WEAKNESS:

The fault of an organization is the most important internal problems that might hamper the growth rate to take place in a company. Though Dhaka Bank is a company that has many strengths but it also as well has some weakness of its own. The following are a few of the most common weakness that Dhaka Bank has at the present time.

1.      Giving high emphasize on fixed deposits:

Dhaka bank gives high emphasize on fixed deposits every year, which means that they always end up paying high interest expense for their deposit mix. Certainly, this will decrease their dealing spread and keeps them always in pressure. So, their cost of goods sold is very high which is not very good for any company in this competitive market.

Giving high emphasize on fixed deposit might which meant ending up by paying high interest expense for the deposit mix, because if the bank continues like this then there is a high chance for the clients to switch to other banks, so in this way the bank might lose its valuable clients.

2.      No feedback from bottom level employees:

The bottom-level employees and even the mid-level managers at Dhaka Bank don’t take part in the decision-making process. So the information flows one way. The bank do not encourage or even ask the middle level officers to take part in their decision or invite them in the decision making process, as a result there remains a gap between the high officials and the mid level managers or officers. But when any kind of problem arises it is often the middle level managers who has to face the problems or complains from the customers. The higher officials should not also forget that because of these middle level officers their organization has been running so smoothly and successfully.

Though Dhaka Bank do not involve its middle level officers in their decision making process but still Dhaka Bank has some unofficial way to collect information from the bottom level employees, but it is not effective at all.

3.      Less emphasis on advertising through the electronic media:

Dhaka Bank does not promote their brand or products on regular basis. They seem to be over confident over their company’s publicity. They sometimes see it as an extra expenditure. They also don’t do much electronic media advertising, they do not even campaign for their bank for example they could take stalls in private universities and offer attractive packages for the student or for their education.

On the other hand competitors like Dutch Bangle bank, standard chartered bank. Jamuna bank and others do the opposite frequently come up with creative adds for their banks. For example, recently Dutch-bangla bank has set up an ATM booth inside private university , this way they have not only gained popularity but they have also attracted the customers, mostly the students to have a account in their bank. This is a big weakness for Dhaka Bank, which may prove to be very big mistake in the future. To company should concentrate more on its promotional activities.

4.      The bank has a large number of employees making the of organization  ineffective:

Dhaka bank currently has quite a large number of employees compared to its capabilities. Having a higher number of employees is good extent, but in some cases it can also have a negative impact. This decreases the employee’s individual efficiency as well as effectiveness.

If there is too many employees working for the same thing then the effectiveness of the employees’ decreases, there remains no competition and the employees start depending on others, i.e. instead of doing the work by themselves they expect their fellow mates to do it for them. This kind of behavior makes them inefficient and as a result hampers the effectiveness of the organization.

In addition to that, a few of the employees are not too sound and loyal as they are supposed to be. There is a tendency that middle level managers want to avoid their responsibilities and want it to be done by others.

 5.      Agency problem might be there among the employees which effects the customer service:

The front desk employees are often found not to be too keen on taking care of their customers. Though they have a long employee’s line in every branch, their loyalty to the company and their ethics level are not very satisfactory. Most of the employees always think about their own interest, which proves that agency problem is there. Some of them create unofficial groups through which they solve each other’s problem and support each other to achieve their personal goals, not too much concern about their personal interest.                                                

OPPORTUNITY:

An organization’s opportunities are positive external environmental factors. An organization should explore all possible opportunities available to it. These opportunities are intended to improve the organization. By making improvements, the organization should be able to become more competitive in the market. The following are opportunities available to Dhaka bank in order for it to become more aggressive.

 1.      Dhaka bank can use their good market image to gain business and valued customers:

Dhaka bank has quite a strong market image. Local people know Dhaka Bank as a centered of trust and professional where local expertise use to serve. If they expand their business and utilize this strength as more diversified business opportunities, they can create stronger image in the country.

If Dhaka Bank continues to be productive then they will get more and more business as the customers will be attracted towards their service and towards their product. The chances of Dhaka bank will become much higher if they expand and diversify their business in an effective and creative way not only in the capital city but all over Bangladesh.

2.      Dhaka bank can provide mobile telephone bill collection service through internet banking:

As telecommunication industry is expending with an alarming rate recently, so Dhaka bank could maintain good business relation with those telecommunication companies. They can look forward to make some mutual agreement of responsibility of bill collections. This will give them more liquid money, which will boost up their cash requirement.

3.      Dhaka bank can provide premium service banking so as to satisfy their customers:

Dhaka Bank can improve its customer service but tailoring the individual business needs. This service enhancement collectivity will allow a customer to manage their business finance and cash resources more efficiently and conveniently. The services like-

  • Courier
  • Auto Fax Report
  • Hotline (Your single point of contract)
  • Inward remittance information services
  • Express payments
  • Foreign Exchange and Money market information

If Dhaka bank provides the above mentioned services to its valuable clients then the chances of its 100% success will be confirm, as no other banks is providing such services specially inward remittance, if Dhaka bank provides such type of services then the customers will rush only for Dhaka bank instead of going to other banks.

4.      Dhaka bank can expand their business area by opening new branches in different places:

Dhaka bank could also boost the number of branches to take advantage of increase demand among the existing customer with better services and thus generate more net profit. In recent years the bank has opened a lot of new branches, which is a good sign of improvement and also a commendable strategy. If Dhaka Bank continues to be productive then they will get more and more business as the customers will be attracted towards their service and towards their product.

The chances of Dhaka Bank will become much higher if they expand their business in an effective and creative way not only in the capital city but all over Bangladesh. The bank has not been effective in increasing the number of branches outside Dhaka and Chittagong. Most of Dhaka Bank’s branches are targeted at the city people only; they have not concentrated of the rural people too much. That’s why the company could not capture large portion of the market share. The authority of the bank needs to take this into consideration not only for them but also for the poor rural people. After all there is question of ethics come in every steps of business.

5.      The bank can globalize the business and can gain popularity all over the world:

As the bank has a strong business brand image, it holds a great opportunities to globalize their business more extensively. They can arrange more foreign correspondent banks or by establishing more foreign branches as the foreign branches have better and big business opportunities.

If Dhaka bank continues to be productive then they will get more and more business as the customers will be attracted towards their service and towards their product. The chances of Dhaka Bank will become their much higher if they expand and globalize their business in an effective and creative way not only in the capital city but all over world.

6.      Dhaka bank can upgrading the online banking service to that the services can be availed smoothly:

Dhaka bank’s online banking service is not up the standard of the service the foreign banks provide. They usually serve the service based on the historical data, not real time basis. So, the bank should take initiative to add some additional services for their loyal clients. This will give them better opportunity to acquire more market share.

The on line services of Dhaka Bank is not very standard; they have network problems for which the latest updates are not known not only to the customers but also to their employees as well. The employees cannot login to their system due to the network problem and as a result their works get delayed. But if it continues to happen then the bank might lose its valued customers and business. If the system gets updated then the services they provide through online banking will be very smooth and effective for both the employees and the clients.

7.      Government’s changing attitude towards private sector development can be beneficial for the bank:

The government is favoring private sector investment, which is good for the Dhaka Bank, as they can now expand their business with rules and regulations of government of Bangladesh. This kind of government support will lessen their problems. The Government’s changing attitude can be very beneficial for Dhaka Bank as the government is favoring the private bans, the local public will rush towards the private bank such as Dhaka Bank, and by this the bank will gain more and more customers and will have more business.

8.      Dhaka bank has the opportunity to take market share away from rival firms:

The private local commercial banks of Bangladesh are very similar in the way they operate. This is especially true for the banks same strategic group. So if Dhaka Bank somehow manages to differentiate their financial products and services from the other then there is good chance that it will gain more market share.

If the bank managers to achieve diversified products and wide banking network there is a scope for market penetration. The bank can serve more customers groups if they expand their expanding geographic coverage and service segments. Also Dhaka Bank can portray itself as different by exploiting emerging new technologies and improving services like credit card, telephone banking etc.

THREATS:

An organization’s threats are negative external factors. An organization should explore all possible threats available to it. These threats are intended to diminish the organization. By making improvements and proper monitoring of the threats, the organization should be able to turn more competitive in the market. The following are threats are available to Dhaka Bank in order to threaten its existence.

1.      There is a fierce competition among the banks all over the city to have more valued customers and business

As the banking industry of Bangladesh has promising in, Dhaka Bank is facing strong competition the entrance of new potential competitors. The second generation banks like

  • Dhaka bank
  • Dutch bangle bank
  • Southeast bank

These Banks are the main competitors for Dhaka Bank. There is a tough competition among all the banks for business, if one bank provides better services or more rate of return then the customers switch to that bank wherever they will get better facilities.

Also foreign banks operations in Bangladesh are also taking a big portion of market share. These foreign banks have successfully created better market image than those of local banks in Bangladesh. The competition among all the banks for business is very tough, to complete with one another is very hard in case of business if one bank provides better services or more rate of return then the customers switch to that bank wherever they will get better services.

 2.      Political interference and government regulations creates problem for banks

Dhaka bank facing political interference in big loan sanctioning and also there is to some extent unethical recruitment of employees. Though the government is favoring private sector investment, which is good for the Dhaka Bank, as they can now expand their business with the favoring rules and regulations of government of Bangladesh but still due to political interferences and tight government regulation is creating problems in sanctioning big amount of loan. Also there is 45% tax rate for all financial institutions, which is very high and also a real threat for growth of the company.

 3.      Highly capital reserve requirement imposed by the central bank

If there is liquid money crisis the market, Dhaka Bank will find it has to manage its capital reserve requirement. As banking law act 1991, Bangladesh bank is regulated the capital requirement not less than 9%. And if for some reason the bank fails to meet the reserve requirements then the consequences and sanctions will be serve.

Now a day’s banking businesses are being narrowing down and its services and products are also diversifying in other sector of the financial market. Few banking services are being also done by insurance companies, leasing firms, house building loan companies and so on. So, banks are now surviving by doing general banking, which is already threat and can bigger in future. Dhaka bank management should start to think about this issue more closely and have to take necessary steps.

 4.      The central bank changing the interest rates for which the banks have to maintain their rates

In Bangladesh the central bank decides the interest rates. They give a  arrange and within that range the banks have to maintain the interest rates they offer. So the result is that all the banks end up having very similar interest rates.

Also it is the central government who changes the interest rates. They either increase or decrease it depending on the economy according to the policies they want to implement. And whatever changes the government makes the banks of Bangladesh have to abide by it.
