Major findings of the study

1        According to “Labor Law Act 2006” organization should emphasize    on equal pay opportunity. But they don’t maintain this law.

2        According to the literature review orientation is required from joining day of the  workers but they are not maintaining this due to lack of time and huge work load

3        They don’t provide off the job training. According to the literature it is essential.

4        No long time training program system in SAG. Long- term training program is always  essential to learn a thing properly

5        Sometime I found the employee come through references and management face new and new problem.

3        They can arrange off the training program because it is essential for more skilled.

4        The employee’s job should be secured.

5        There is no long time training program system in SAG. Long- term training program should have in SAG.

6        Theoretically employee referral is acceptable but I think organization. Should judge properly before recruit them

7        SAG can enhance their employee skill & ability by partnership with reputed training institute.

8        More training should have provided for the employees.

9        SAG always tries to uses the best equipment for their garments infrastructure but they have to concentrate to procure better equipment.

10    SAG can proper utilize the intern & rearrange their internship program, So that this fresh graduate can do various role of the company.

11    The company should provide equal employment opportunity.

12    The organization should introduce sufficient computer facilities for every department

Conclusion:

Human Resource Management system is gradually developing all over the world. In Bangladesh the HRM concept is also developing and the organizations re-shuffling the existing HRM system. In this perspective the SAG is also trying to follow human resource management and regulate the human resource planning in its operation. At present every organization is trying to setup a separate HRM department in organizations, as buyers and global consumers are concern. In this regard SAG is also trying to follow the HRM system of mentioned famous organizations like HERMAN MILLER, SEARS, QUANTUM, and etc. In the SAG there is no off the job training system, they don’t provide equal employment payment and opportunity, sometime they don’t provide orientation program for the worker in the first day of work , more over they   have shortage of computer. SAG doesn’t provide long term training program and the workers job are not secured. But their maternity benefit policy is strong. Their overall activity is nice but if they follow the Labor Law Act 2006 then they can avoid their lacking and become a real HRM organization.
