Introduction

1.1 INTRODUCTION

8
It’s an opportunity for the students to do the project report and it bears a great
significant for us. It gives knowledge to the students with the practical business
operations. The students of project report program have the opportunity to get the
chance to understand the real business world closely and involve themselves with
internal and external aspects of business. It’s an opportunity for them to develop the
analytical adeptness and scholastic aptitude.

To introduce adept employee, only theoretical erudition in the field of NGO studies All
over the world the dimension of NGO has been transmuting rapidly due to
Deregulation, Technological innovation and Globalization. NGO’s in Bangladesh have
to keep pace with the transmutation in ecumenical business. Now NGO’s have to
compete in rialto both with the local institutions as well as with the peregrine
institutions.

To survive and flourish in such an aggressive world, one critical prerequisite is


improvement of "HRM Practices in NGO segment: Comparative investigation among
PDBF and IDF'' in the feeling of building up a proper labor structure and its aptitude
and experience. Isn’t adequate? A scholastic course of the examination has an
incredible esteem when it has handy application, all things considered, circumstance.
Thus, I require legitimate utilization of my insight to get some advantage from my
hypothetical information make it more careful when I connect with myself in such
fields to make legitimate utilization of my hypothetical information in my functional
life circumstance. Such hypothetical learning is acquired from a course of concentrate
at just the most of the way of the topic. Proposition suggests on other the full use of the
technique and strategies through rich obtain of topic can be strongly connected in my
everyday life circumstance.

1.2 RATIONALE
It is true that most of the micro finance organizations in Bangladesh are not practicing in
modem Human Resource Management (HRM). Absence of appropriate HRM practice is very

9
acute in the Micro Finance Organizations-particularly in Integrated Development Foundation
(IDF) and Palli Daridra Bimochon Foundation (PDBF), where employee performance is far
below the acceptable level or the industry standard. Workers unrest is a common issue in
Bangladesh. They are engage in political environment and a section of workers are arrogant and
militant. They are not sincere in the performance of their duties. All of them are not real abiders,
rather rule violators. They are not adequately disciplined also. There is no doubt that all these
factors are making our business enterprises and institutions sick. State enterprises are suffering
from financial losses. Truly speaking, absence of proper human resource Management
system leads to poor organizational performance. Management is in great trouble with
this situation. Absence of appropriate HRM system in micro finance organization
suggests the need of proper & employee friendly human resource management policy
and procedures. Against this backdrop, a study on analysis of HRM practice in micro
finance organizations is considered to be important to make these organizations more
effective and efficient by adopting appropriate HRM system in improving employee
morale and productivity. An appropriate Human Resource Management (HRM) system
is more important to restore industrial peace and progress of the organization.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

There are several types of objectives involve here for this study. The objectives of
studies are:

 To have an unmistakable view about what is really occurring in the region of


Human Resource Management of the chose business association.
 To know the methodology of "HRM Practices in NGO segment: Comparative
examination among PDBF and IDF''.
 To get their administrations, building up their abilities, inspiring them to
abnormal amounts of execution, and guaranteeing that they keep on keeping up
their responsibility to the association are basic for accomplishing hierarchical
goals. So it is vital for us as potential business officials to assemble data about
the common situation of Human Resource Management. In this report, I'm more
worried about what is going on other than what should occur in the
HRM/Personnel Department of the chose association.

10
 To gain a general thought and think about the HR position of the NGO.
 To discover the current HR issues of the NGO.
 To prescribe answers for the current issue.
 To demonstrate an aberrant target of this report is to have some down to earth
understanding on how the correspondence is done in the business world and
build up our correspondence skill. Solutions to the current issue

1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This paper is a type of contextual analysis. So the extents of this report are restricted.
The primary extent of this report is to have down to earth understanding about how an
exploration is done in the business associations. This paper has the extension to cover
diverse parts of Human Resource Management, which incorporate Human Resource
Planning, enlistment and determination strategies, choice gadgets, work investigation,
work configuration, preparing and improvement. I'm examine two associations all
through this report, is, Integrated Development Foundation (IDF), and Pollidaridra
Bimochon Foundation (PDBF).

1.5 METHODOLOGY AND SOURCES OF DATA:


The information and data have been collected in 3 ways:
i) Primary data: Compiled using a structured questionnaire. Most of the information
in this evaluation was collected in this way from regional and head office
branches, Primary data will be the only source of information based on which the
report will be prepared, Primary data will be collated through interviews as well as
observation the members of each department of both Ngo’s.
ii. Secondary data: The IDF issues monitoring and reporting statements on a regular
basis. Consultants used a number of these statements for the evaluation; Previous IDF
evaluative studies carried out by other independent researchers/agencies were also
used as secondary data.
iii) Unstructured data: This data was compiled using information from IDF branch and
center visits, informal discussions and staff interviews with branch managers, field
staff and various management level officers conducted during field and head office
visits.

1.6 LIMITATIONS:

11
The biggest limitation of this report was the lack of information; IDF is working at
Chittagong and hill Tracts districts. It has 33 branches at 5 districts. Result of such a
small sample does not represent the opinion of the whole institute and might not hold
the complete picture of IDF. On the other hand, the report was done during working
hours as well as continuing my work and duties at the same, After all I have find out
the time and manage to complete this report. Limitations regarding the survey:
• The respondents of the organization did not reveal some of their confidential
documents. Therefore, accurate information could not be gathered.
• Due to heavy workloads at the organizations the sample size was limited that does
not represent the opinion of the whole institution and might not hold the complete
picture of PDBF.
• Selecting only three organizations was another limitation and it might hamper to
Compare with PDBF as a micro finance organization.
• All the explanations were not distinct.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
Organization require many things to be effective: a method for producing a
product or service (i.e., plant and equipment), financial resources, a way of
marketing whatever product or service created, and human resources. While
all of these are important to organizational effectiveness, the only factor that
represents a potential competitive advantage is Human Resources and how
these resources are managed. The production technology, financing, and
customer connections (marketing) can all be copied easily. The basics of
managing people can also be copied, but the most effective organizations
find unique ways to attract, retain, and motivate employees.

In HRM there is a greater emphasis on strategic issues and on the way which human
resource contributes to the achievement of corporate objectives. HRM underlies the
importance of flexibility and the ability to react and adapt quickly to changes in the
organizational environment.

3.2 DEFINITION OF HRM


Human resource management (HRM) involves all management decisions and practices that
directly affect or influence the people, or human resources, who work for the organization. In
recent years, increased attention comes from the realization that an organization's employees
enable an organization's success. The term "word class", or ranking foremost in the world, is
frequently mentioned as aspiration of organizations. In the context of HRM world class in
indicated by a HR group with a shared vision as to its constituents and how best to serve
them. A service orientation and a willingness to be in partnership with constituents

Characterized excellence in HRM. Specific earmarks of world class HRM include:


• Having a HR vision oriented to the strategic needs of the organization.
• Having a philosophy and values consistent with those of the organization.
• Being seen as a business unit within the firm and operating in the same way as other
Units: having customer and quality management
• Being organized in a way that brings maximum service to the customer jind maximum
motivation to the customers.
• Championing HR programs that fulfill the agendas of the HR group and thef. customer.
• Having a HR vision that is actively shared by the entire group.
• Being a proactive, not reactive, group.
• Being involved in the key business issue discussions.

26
• Being seen as successfully creating a great place to work.
The number of activities involved in human resource management is potentially large,
depending on the size of the organization and its needs.

3.3 FOUNDATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT:

HR Management is the piece of the association. HRM can be seen iris one of two
different ways. Initially, HRM is a slow down', or bolster, work in the association, Its
job is to give help with HRM matters to line representatives, or those straightforwardly
engaged with creating the associations merchandise and ventures. Second,

HRM is a component of significantly' administrator's activity. Regardless of whether


one works in a "formal" HRM division, the reality remains that to adequately oversee
representatives requires all chiefs to deal with the exercises.

HRM is a approach consisting of four basic functions: (1) Staffing. (2) Training &
development. (3) Motivation, (4) Maintenance. In less academic terms, it may be said that
HRM is made up of four activities: (1) Getting people (2) Preparing them (3) Stimulating
them (4) and Keeping them.

3.5.1 HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING

Why Human Resource Planning?


Human Resource or Workforce arranging is a standout amongst the most vital issues
that HR experts are discussing today. In any case, many have not past the talking stage.
The assignment of really actualizing HR arranging is overwhelming in light of the fact
that it is so hard to characterize. The accompanying proposals are intended to demystify
what HR or workforce arranging is and to talk about the reasons why each HR division
should actualize such an exertion.

Being prepared is better than being surprised: Human Resource or Workforce arranging
is an efficient, completely incorporated authoritative process that includes proactively
preparing to maintain a strategic distance from ability surpluses or deficiencies. It depends on
the commence that an organization can be staffed all the more proficiently in the event that it
gauges its ability needs and also the genuine supply of ability that is or will be accessible.

HR ought to know about the business cycle: HR experts always whine about the difficult blast
and-bust cycle of spending cuts, quick development, and more spending plan cuts] What they

29
need is dependability. Shockingly, the manner in which that HR individuals act or neglect to act
intensifies the agony of the blast or bust stages.

Everybody realizes that the business cycle has good and bad times. There are times of
development and times of subsidence; each appears to happen at regular intervals. Interestingly,
HR individuals, instead of plan tweaked approaches for the diverse periods of the business cycle,
have a tendency to do things a similar way regardless of what the monetary atmosphere. HR
offices have fallen into the innocent device of working freely of the business cycle.

The effect of good human asset arranging: Good workforce arranging impact sly affects a
business. Some of most noteworthy include:

1. Killing amazements. HR should confine the upsetting "injury" identified with being amazed.
HR ought to have room schedule-wise to plan procedures and answers.

• Rapid ability substitution: Having the capacity to quickly make sense of positions that are empty
because of sudden (or unavoidable) turnover with the goal that generation or administrations don't
overlook anything.

2. Smoothing out business cycles. You can. Smooth out the cycles by creating forms that
increase and down your ability stock and work adequately amid both great occasions and lean
occasions.

• No delays: Ensuring that the organization can meet creation objectives by utilizing the
correct number of individuals.

• The right aptitudes: Ultimately expanding item improvement speed on the grounds that the
organization has the most brilliant individuals with the correct abilities to take items through to
their dispatch—on time.

• Employee advancement: The capacity to increase quickly on new ventures on the


grounds that the organization has arranged and prepared inner ability to meet the undertaking
needs.

3. Recognizing issues early. In the event that you have a smoke-locator framework set up to
advise administrators before an ability fire escapes hand, it will be considerably simpler to limit the

30
potential harm. HR ought to build up a framework, of "cautions" to caution, administrators of
minor issues (that they can redress with little exertion) before they turn' into significant issues.

4. Averting issues. Settling issues is costly and excruciating. A better methodology is than keep
issues from consistently happening.

• Lower turnover rates: Employees are constantly prepared for new open doors that fit
their profession advantages and abilities. They progress effectively and quickly to them.

• Low work cost: The ability is created to quickly lessen work costs without the
requirement for substantial scale cutbacks of lasting representatives.

• No cutbacks: Avoiding the requirement for cutbacks by overseeing head

Check guarantees that the organization won't have an "overflow" of ability.

5. Exploiting openings. Given adequate lead-time, you can accumulate assets and the ability
important to exploit positive chances. When you're always battling flames, you for the most part
rniss notwithstanding observing the chances, and there is only occasionally enough vitality left to
react to them.

• Take favorable position of chances; Efficient administration will free up HR experts so they
can exploit ability sourcing openings (like end of the week poaching) from a contender as an
approach to discover excellent ability amid extreme financial occasions.

6. Improving your Image. Appearing as though you're continually in a rushed state does
nothing to rouse certainty or enhance your specialization's picture. By being all around arranged for
any projection, you assemble your picture, your image, and your validity, so CFOs will probably
put resources into you.

Key regions of human resource arranging: Human resource arranging are a fascinating field.

Nobody can concede to its definition, and there is even less lucidity with regards to posting its
essential exercises. At the point when human asset arranging frameworks are structured, exercises
can be sorted into three fundamental territories of core interest:

31
The ability estimate. Ability determining is a procedure for anticipating forthcoming changes in
the interest for and the supply of ability. Figures are by and large separated into four zones:

• Estimated increments or declines in organization development, yield, and income.

• Estimates of the relating change in ability needs that originate from that development.
Evaluations can incorporate the number and sort of representatives and also where and. when they
will be required.

• Projections of future opening.

• Estimates of the inside and outside accessibility of the ability expected to meet gauges.

The expectations that outcome from the estimate has two essential purposes:

• To teach or give a heads-up to chiefs and HR about what they ought to expect on the ability
front.

• To give particular data on the supply of and interest for ability crosswise over ventures.

Along these lines, particular activity designs can be produced in the following piece of the ability
arranging process (ability activity designs) to give the association favorable position over its rivals.
Activity designs are for the most part created in every one of the diverse determined regions,
including selecting, maintenance, redeployment, unforeseen workforce, authority advancement,
and progression arranging

Ability activity designs. Ability activity designs layout what particular activities all (HR or
something else) supervisors should take in tetras of ability administration. Each activity plan has an
arrangement of objectives, a person who is in charge of ensuring the arrangement targets are met, a
financial plan, a timetable, and a quantifiable outcome. Ability activity designs can be separated
into three general exercises:

• Sourcing and selecting a satisfactory supply of pioneers and key ability:

• Internal advancement and supply of qualified pioneers and key ability

32
• Forecasting the hole between ability needs and its accessibility:

The incorporation plan: Action designs must be completely actualized whether an organization
will meet its anticipated ability needs. Sadly, most ability designs come up short or drop off when
they go to the usage stage.

Real segments of human asset arranging: There is no standard configuration or equation for a
workforce plan. Some workforce designs contain numerous segments, while others contain only a
progression plan for senior chiefs. There is nobody measure fits-all model. While there are some
essential parts that all designs ought to incorporate, there are some beneficial segments that can and
will work preferable for a few organizations over others.

Coming up next is a rundown of the most well-known parts of a human asset arranging:

• Forecasting and appraisal. Evaluations, for instance, of the inner/outer free market
activity; work costs; organization development rates; and friends income.

• Succession arranging. Assigning, for instance, the movement plan for key positions,

• Leadership advancement. Assigning high-potential workers; instructing; tutoring,


turning individuals into various activities.

• Recruiting. Evaluating requirements for head tally, positions, area, timing, and that's only
the tip of the iceberg.

• Retention. Determining turnover rates, distinguishing who is in danger and how to keep
them.

• Redeployment. Choosing who is qualified for redeployment, and from where to where.

• Contingent workforce. Assigning the level of workers will's identity unexpected, and in
what positions.

• Potential retirements. Making sense of who is qualified, when they are qualified, who
will supplant them, and what elective work courses of action are accessible that could keep a
retirement issue.

33
• Performance administration. Organizing "constrained positioning" or distinguishing
who ought to be "oversaw out."

• Career way. Profession guiding for representatives to enable them to climb,

• Backfills. Assigning key-position reinforcements

• Internal position. Creating work posting frameworks for inward representatives to get a
decisive advantage over new openings

• Environmental figure. Figures of industry and natural patterns, and additionally a


contender appraisal

• Identifying employment and competency needs. Completing an abilities and-intrigue


stock

• Metrics. Recognizing measurements to decide the adequacy of workforce arranging Look


toward the future:
The essential explanation behind doing human asset arranging is' financial matters. Whenever
done well, human asset arranging will expand profitability, cut work costs, and significantly slice
time-to-showcase since you'll have the correct number of individuals, with the correct aptitudes, in
the correct spots, at the opportune time.

Human asset arranging works since it powers everybody to start looking toward the future, and
counteracts shocks. It expects directors to prepare and to think about all consequences. Successful
workforce arranging is an incorporated ability administration framework that has been underused
and undervalued..

Work compel arranging and usage: The association will have the capacity to exhibit work stepping
stools and cross sections, or, in other words for profession arranging by representatives and
additionally the business. Bosses will be in a superior position to indicate which occupations
require at work preparing, which require boss supported preparing and which require preparing
through some other foundation. Workers will approach critical data to choose whether or not they
need to exhaust the time and vitality expected to get what it takes for different employments in the
association.

34
As associations choose their future human asset needs, the data got through this activity
investigation model should help the association in building up an arrangement to address those
issues.
3.5.2 RECRUITMENT and SELECTION:

• Recruitment: Enrollment shapes the primary phase of procurement work which is


the way toward finding potential contender for choice. Enlistment is the way toward

activating the potential of our employees.

36
People who are "motivated" exert a greater effort to perform than those, who are "not
motivated".

Unsatisfied Tension Drivers


Search Goal Need Reduction of
Need Behavior achievemen Satisfaction Tension

individual. These drives generate a search behavior to find particular goals that, if attained,

concerned with providing the stimulus that converts employee talent in to successful job
performance.

human
Resource function. The goal of compensation administration are to design the lower-cost pay
structure that will attract, motivate, and retain competent employees, and that also will be

To meet these destinations, the embodiment of pay administration is work assessment and
foundation of a compensation structure Intention Compensation Plans: Incentive designs
ought to be seen as an extra measurement of the wage structure. Motivations can be paid

Four steps are followed in applying the point method.
i. Selection of compensable factors

iv. Application to organizational jobs

Human rights in MFI:


Human rights belong to all people, and all people have equal status with respect to these
rights are to respect an individual's human right. The weight as failure to respect
depending on the person's gender, race, ethnicity, nationality or any other distinction.

Inalienability of human rights: Human rights are inalienable: others can't take them
away, nor one we can surrender them voluntarily. Indivisibility of human rights:
Human rights are unified in two detects. In the first place, there is no order among
various types of it. Common, political, monetary, social and social rights are on the
whole similarly essential for an actual existence of nobility. Second, a few rights can't
be stifled with the end goal to advance others.
Acknowledgment Of human rights: Human right is acknowledged when people appreciate
the opportunities secured by that privilege and their delight in the privilege is secure. A man's

41
human rights are acknowledged whether and just if social assertions are set up adequate to
secure her standard dangers to her satisfaction in opportunities secured by those rights.

3.5. 5 HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

•Training and development


Training and development of employees in an association is imperative. Preparing is
expected to keep the representatives' aptitudes current. Additionally seeing that it fills in as an
establishment for professional success, it assumes a critical job in the maintenance of
workers.
Career counseling is another compelling formative apparatus. Ordinarily the
supervisor is the best profession advisor for the worker since the director can affect
work assignments, which can cultivate vocation advancement. The means in profession
directing include:

43
• Evaluating the worker's advantages. Books, exercise manuals and surveys to help
assess interests are accessible through libraries, book shops, and advisors.

• Evaluating the worker's qualities and constraints.

• Exploring vocation alternatives and openings

• Creating a profession improvement plan.

HR preparing are a critical expansion to any foundations. An association needs


balanced, prepared and experienced individuals to play out the exercises that must he
done. Rather, quick occupation changes are happening, requiring worker aptitudes to be
changed and regularly refreshed. In organizations, this is happen through what we call
worker preparing. Preparing is a learning background in that it looks for a moderately
lasting change in a person that will enhance the capacity to perform at work.

Training Approaches:
It is the most popular training & development methods on- the-job or off-the-job
training. We will briefly introduce the better-known techniques category.

On the job training: The most broadly utilized preparing strategies occur at work. On
the job training places the representatives in genuine work circumstances and
influences them to give off an impression of being promptly beneficial. It is learning by
doing.
Off the job training: Off-the-job training covers a number of techniques-classroom
lectures films, demonstrations, case studies and other simulation exercises, and program
induction.

Employee development method:


Some improvement of person's capacities can happen at work. We will survey a few
strategies, three famous at work procedures work pivot, aide to program, board of
trustees task and three off-the-work systems address course 85 classes,' reenactment work
out, and out entryway preparing.

Job rotation:

44
Job rotation involves moving employees to various positions. Job rotation can be either
horizontal or vertical. Vertically rotation is nothing more than promoting an employee
into a new position.

Job rotation represents an excellent method for broadening about individual's exposure
to company operations and for training a ; specialist into a generalist. In addition to
increasing the individuals experience and allowing him/her to absorb new information.
It can reduce boredom simulate the development of new ideas perform many duties
under the watchful eye of a supportive coach.

Committee Assignment:
Committee assignments can provide an opportunity for the employee to share in
decision making to learn by watching others, and to specific organizational problems.

Appointment to permanent committees increases the employee's exposure to other


member's of the organization, broadness his/her understanding, and
provides an opportunity to grow and make recommendations under the security of other
committee members.

Simulation:
While basic in preparing representatives on real work encounters, simulation are most
likely even e prominent for worker advancement. The more generally utilized
reenactment practices included contextual analyses, choice diversions, and pretend.
Outdoor training:
In representative advancement has been the utilization of open air preparing. The
essential focal point of such preparing is to show students the significance of working
Together: gelling as a group. The reason for such preparing is to perceive how
representatives respond to the troubles that nature presents to ism. The dishonesty is that
the present business condition does not allow workers to "stand alone" this has rain
constrained the significance of working intimately with one another, wilding confiding
seeing someone find prevailing as an individual from a gathering.

Findings and Analysis

65
5.0 FINDINGS

The result of the study that IDF has no structured HR Division whereas PDBF has a HR
division. The two major micro finance institutions -IDF & PDBF, do not practice the modern
HRM policy and procedures. Both organizations perform various HRM activities according
to their own policy procedures or in other words IDF follow a tailor-made personal
management system that also helps them to ensure the organizational goals and objectives. It
should be noted that although IDF engaged only 200 of employees in a small stage, they have
no trade union activities because of more actively motivated employees to their jobs. On the
other hand, PDBF practices the modern HRM system to ensure a sound and unique
employee management style in the micro finance organizations as well as in handling trade
union activities that inherited from BRDB.

As NGO IDF is a modern micro finance institution where trade union, laws, and other
HRM system is not following properly but in all respect organization is maintaining
their good performance on the ground. Job satisfaction of the staffs, personal and official
demand of the staffs, work environment in the office and field are satisfactory.
It is found by the study that most of the cases IDF and PDBF are not following fully HRM
procedures. Labor law, disciplinary procedures, Leave and holiday, benefits system are not
same like Government organization. Grievance procedure is not followed by any
organization. Work hours both in office and field are more than 8 hours per day. But there
is no any extra financial benefit for over time Although PDBF providing overtime
allowances to their few non officers.

IDF has no any completed approved service rule for the interest of employees. PDBF has a
service rules book which is not followed properly.

Both the organization IDF & PDBF do not have any adequate recruitment procedure.

Regarding job analysis, job evaluation and performance measurements are not practicing
as modern HRM in both IDF and PDBF. In spite of many limitations in the field of HRM
IDF and PDBF is doing their job perfectly. Both organizations are doing different type of
work but excellent work for the interest of poor people as well as poverty reduction of the
country.

CONCLUSION

This paper is prepared for the purpose of academic under thesis program of United
International University. As information of this study will be used only for academic
purposes and secrecy will be maintained properly. Thesis program of UNITED
INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY is a dynamic initiative for the students where
students can gather more practical knowledge under supervising teacher. At the same
time, Students can get opportunity to be engage with the organizations as well as
employee of the organization and learn more HR management system. Finally, I want to say
that this paper highlights a good number of aspects regarding Human Resource
Management (HRM) system. This paper shows that a sound and employee friendly HRM
policy & procedures are beneficial for the micro finance organizations if it is practiced
fairly and consistently. The major HRM activities, such as HR planning, recruitment
and selection, attracting and retaining the employees, compensation & benefit, and
performance appraisal system should be practiced in such a manner that help in
improving employee morale and motivation resulting the achievement of organizational
goals and objectives in the micro finance sector. I have learnt many information and
system related HR management from this program that may be used for the development of
other organization.

HR hone in Bangladesh is superior to the past. In the past HR job was concentrated to
employing terminating and letter issuance dispatching, filling stage and Compliance were
disregarded. Presently it has begun to perform more than that. For example, representative
inspiration, worker improvement, worker maintenance, encourages hierarchical
advancement activities and in this manner commitment to the accomplishment of
authoritative objectives. These esteem included occupation has quite recently started in
Bangladesh, for a decent tomorrow, this is a beginning stage.

Boss has begun to comprehend that the more they put resources into HR the more output
is likely which lead them to accentuate on representative capacity advancement. In that
capacity finds numerous associations, worker improvement is seen as a major aspect of
strategy for success. Boss and Employee relationship is superior to the past; managers
currently perceive the significance of worker's investment in business arranging, real basic
leadership and hierarchical change process. Numerous associations presently lead worker

67
supposition studies for gathering representative criticism and enhance business
representative relationship.

Some HR activities have legitimate ramifications. Be that as it may, in the nation's setting
lawful clarification does [not seem to be satisfactory. There is absence of consistency in
the understanding of law that prompt practice by association in various ways. There is
likewise uncertainty of existing lawful arrangement or definite approach structure on HR
activity is by all accounts fragmented.

In future the general HR hone is relied upon to be more splendid in each part in
Bangladesh, on the grounds that:

• More are feeling the need of a set up HR office in both in institutional and
hierarchical structure.

• Employer and additionally Employee relationship is relied upon to move forward.

• It will be a piece of HR rehearses, which will make HR activities, basic leadership


process quicker and exact.

RECOMMENDATIONS

There are different approaches of human resource management-which provide


complementary themes that help HR professionals keep the HR functions and its activities in
the proper perspective. (Compare to other micro finance organizations although PDBF has
a well-structured HR Division, still it has the scope to improve the HR activities that helps
in achieving organizational goals and objectives.) Now given below some steps required
to follow by which, I think PDBF can identify its lacking as well as also can be able to
minimize some sort of problems.

a) Approaches of HRM: PDBF should review their approaches to HR management


that may be as follows:

 Strategic approach- HR management must contribute to the strategic success of the


organization. If the activities of the HR professionals do not help the organization

68
achieve its strategic objectives, resources are not being used effectively.
 Proactive approach- HR management can increase the contribution to the
employee and the organization by anticipating challenges before they arise, If its
efforts are reactive only, problems may be compounded and opportunities may be
missed.

b) Motivation of Human Resources: It has been suggested, to motivate human


resources PDBF should provide accurate open feedback to individuals about their
performance. If they ensure that high productivity and good work performance
lead to the achievement of the personal goals, employee will be more active
motivated to their jobs.

c) Performance Management System: To evaluate employee performance PDBF


should follow a tailor made performance appraisal method that will ensure the reward
for good performer and penalty for the non-performer as well.

d) IDF should have the complete service rule.

e) PDBF Should follow the approved service rule.
