1.0 Introduction:

After liberation when countrys traditional items of export could not yield expected result, in late
70s the government and a section of entrepreneurs young, educated and dynamic, began to
emphasize on development of non-traditional items of export. By the year 1983, ready-made
garments (RMG) emerged to be non-traditional export oriented sector most promising in the
socioeconomic context of the country. By that time, those entrepreneurs felt a necessity of sect
oral trade body, non-government in nature, free from traditional bureaucracy, to help the RMG
sector and to boost up the foreign exchange earning of the country urgently needed at that time.
Responding to that necessity, 19 (nineteen) RMG manufactures and exports joined together and
by their untiring efforts got Bangladesh garment manufacturers and exporters association
(BGMEA) incorporated on February 20, 1983, today 2400 small and medium scale privately
owned garment factories, registered with BGMEA, spread in cluster over the EPZ and urban
areas of Dhaka, Chittagong and Khulna, are manufacturing ready-made garments of varied
specifications as per size and design stipulated by the overseas buyers. Starting with a few items,
the entrepreneurs in the RMG sector have widely diversified the product base ranging from
ordinary shirt, t-shirt, trousers, shorts, pajama, ladies wear and childrens wear to sophisticated
high value items like quality suits, branded jeans items, jackets-both cotton and leather, sweaters,
embroidered wear etc. To become a middle-income country by 2021, given the countrys limited
natural resources and abundance of human resources, the efficiency and efficacy of HRM
practices could be pivotal and driving forces for Bangladeshs economic development (Absar,
2014)
However, the current state of HRM practices is far below the level Bangladesh needs to achieve.
Most organizations are family owned and controlled by family members, and human resource
management activities tend to be viewed as just a company owners wish. But in recent years,
labor-intensive and export-oriented industries have begun experiencing pressure from the EU
and North American countries to maintain their labor-rights standards and to improve their
factories working conditions (Bowden, 2014; ILO, 2013). This pressure from outside the
country is compelling organizations to change their corporate culture and HRM practices.
Researchers have indicated that improved working conditions and better wage rates could
improve the productivity and the profitability of organizations in Bangladesh (Ahmed &
Peerlings, 2009).

Therefore, these organizations need to develop systematic and efficient HRM practices to be
competitive globally and to cope with the changing needs of the economy.

1.1 Objective of the Study:


The broad objective of this report is to provide an overview of HRM practice of Square Textile
Limited and Beximco Apparels Limited. The specific objectives of this report are:

Identify the HR activities of Square Textile Limited and Beximco Apparels Limited.

To get an idea about Textile Sectors.

To get a clear idea of Square Textile Limited and Beximco Apparels Limited training
and development activities.

To get an idea about performance appraisal of Square Textile Limited and Beximco
Apparels Limited.

To learn about selection and recruitment process of Square Textile Limited and
Beximco Apparels Limited.

1.2 Methodology:
To prepare this report I have collected data from both primary and secondary sources. But the
report is mostly based on secondary data. I have collected all data from company websites,
annual reports, different published online journals and articles which is my secondary data.
Besides I have collected data from one of the HR executive of Beximco Appeals Limited and
also collect some data from Corporate Headquarter of Square Textile Limited.

1.3 Limitation of the Study:


The report is written mainly on the basis of face to face conversation with the officials and little
practical experience in the bank. So, no perfect study is conducted to measure the viability of the
report. The following are some other limitations

Limitation of time was one of the most important factors that shortened the present study.
Due to time constraints, many aspects could not by discuss in the present study.
Insufficient books, publications, Facts and figures narrowed the scope of accurate
analysis.
Confidentiality of data was another important barrier that was faced during the conduct of
this study. Every organization has their own secrecy that cannot be revealed in publics.
Rush hours and business was another reason that acts as an obstacle while gathering
data.In a world increasingly characterized by globalization of product markets, the
importance of human capital as a resource that can potentially provide competitive
advantage has become more important. Because a firms people are integral to its
success, researchers interested in managing human capital have increasingly focused on
HR practices as the levers through which firms might build the human capital that makes
up resources and capabilities.

1.4 Literature Review:


While the literature establishing an HR performance relationship is substantial, what is lacking
is empirical research examining the mechanisms through which this relationship works (Wright
& Gardner, 2003). Authors have referred to this as the black box problem, and many have
called for more theory and research on the mediating mechanisms through which HR practices
influence organizational performance (Becker and Gerhart, 1996).
A recent stream of thinking in this area has focused on the ways in which HR practices can elicit
organizational commitment from employees, a construct which is argued to impact their
motivation and desire to stay with the firm. However, recent advances have been made in the
conceptualizations of both HR practices and organizational commitment. The purpose of this
report is to provide a more detailed analysis on HR practices and comparison of HR policies
between Beximco Apparels Limited and Square Textile Limited.

Studies show that HRM plays an important role in formulating and implementing organizational
strategy. Myloni et al. (2004) found that also HRM can be seen as part of the overall strategy of
the firm. The increasingly importance of HRM in strategy has then led the HR managers to be
part of the decision makers while formulating and implementing strategy. Rozhan and Zakaria
(1996) study of Malaysian firm provides some evidence of HR managers having an involvement
in the strategy formulation process. Most research suggests that HRM is vital in order for an
organization to achieve organizational success (Barney, 1991; Jackson & Schuler, 2000; Pfeffer,
1994). Typically, HRM is considered to be vital in order for an organization to achieve its
success by enabling the organization to sustain competitive advantage. Literatures on strategic
HRM even indicate that HRM practices and systems contribute to the creation of a sustained
competitive advantage for the firm (Gerhart & Milkovich, 1992; Macduffie, 1995). As a result, it
is important that a firm adopt HRM practices that make use of its employees.
The modern view of HRM first gained prominence is 1981 with its introduction on the
prestigious MBA course at Havard Business School (Price, 2004). The Human Resources, in its
simplest sense, refer to manpower or people resources, who are engaged in any organizational
settings to meet institutional goals by virtue of their physical and intellectual capacity
(Roknuzzaman, 2006). Sarkul (2003) defines manpower as power available from or supplied by
the physical as well as intellectual efforts of man. Effective HR practices are found to lead to
positive organizational outcomes (Becker and Gerhart, 1996) such as turnover (Huselid, 1995)
and productivity (Katz et al., 1987). HR practices are generally categorized into the following:
hiring and selection practices, incentives and rewards, safety training, communication and
feedback, worker participation, management commitment, and performance evaluation. The
implementation of human resource management policies in an organization requires HR
practitioners or professionals to take an active part in different organizational activities (Islam
2011). HRM practice in commercial bank: A case study of Bangladesh www.iosrjournals.org 30 |
Page policies and practices involve the development of how individuals should be managed and
specific HR initiatives (Schuler, 2002). HRM policies and practice refers to the activities of
planning, staffing, appraising, and compensating, training and development and labor relations.
HR planning confirms the organization has right people at right number for the right position on
right time. Staffing is a major HRM practice that organization uses to help to co-ordinate and

control their global operations (Schuler et al, 2002). Recruitment, selection and placement are the
activities concerned with fining suitable people to fill job vacancies within organization
(Molander, 1996). Performance appraisal is a managerial tool to control individual performance
in organizations in order to achieve maximum performance (Morley, 2004). Compensation
should be more immaterial in nature. This might involve the person s career prospects, for
example the opportunity to grow within the company or participate in international exchanges of
information which allow him to get involved in strategic policy planning (Harzing and Van
Ruysseveld, 1995). Training and development are the systematic process concerned with
facilitating the acquisition of skills, knowledge and attitudes which result in improved
organizational performance. The lack of training and development strategies within organizations
can be viewed negatively by graduates (Molander, 1996). Training is a hallmark of good
management, and a task manager ignore at their peril. Having high potential employees does not
guarantee they will succeed. Instead, they must know what the management want them to do and
how to do that (Afroj, 2012). HRM is being practiced either formally or informally to a greater
or lesser extent in business enterprises regardless of their size (Moyeen and Hug, 2001). In the
recent period of time Human Resource Management (HRM) practices became so familiar and
momentous in every business sector of Bangladesh (Afroj, 2012). There is, in fact, no
comprehensive study found on overall HRM practices in Commercial banks of Bangladesh. In
this state of affairs a study on this area is essential to uncover the significant facts. Those studies
are endeavored for the same
More recent empirical study on HRM practices (Lee & Lee, 2007) uncovered six underlying
HRM practices on business performance, namely training and development, teamwork,
compensation/incentives, HR planning, performance appraisal, and employee security help
improve firms business performance including employees productivity, product quality and
firms flexibility. This study reveals that three items of HRM practices influence business
performance: training and development, compensation/incentives, and HR planning. However,
some other researches also show that certain HRM practices have significant relationship with
operational (employees productivity and firms flexibility) and quality performance outcomes
(Chang and Chen, 2002; Ahmad and Schroeder, 2003; Kuo, 2004 Sang, 2005). These research
evidence shows that effective HRM practices can have positive impact on business performance.

Although HRM practices has been consider as one of the influential variables seems to increase
business performance, most of the Malaysian private business organization really not practicing
HRM into their business (Chew, 2005). It is unclear on how to change the mindset of the
Malaysian business organization practicing HRM into their businesses. In order to understand
what influence business performance as well we must first find out the HRM practices that are
International Journal of Business and Management June, 2009 67 influencing business
performance.

4.0 Employee Recruitment and Selection Process of


Square Textile Limited and Beximco Apparels
Limited
4.1 Square Textile Limited

Recruitment is the process through which the organization seeks applicants for potential
employment. Selection refers to the process by which it attempts to identify applicants with the
necessary knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics that will help the company achieve
its goals, companies engaging in different strategies need different types and numbers of
employees. The strategy a company is pursuing will have a direct impact on the types of
employees that it seeks to recruit and selection.

4.1.1 Source of Recruitment:


There are two kinds of source SQUARE uses for recruitment .They are
1. External Sources
2. Internal Sources
I will try to discuss all relative sources which are used for recruitment in Square.

1. Internal Sources
SQUARE thinks that current employees are a major source of recruits for all but entry-level
positions. Whether for promotions or for Lateral job transfers, internal candidates already know
the informal organization and have detailed information about its formal policies and procedures.
Promotions and transfer are typically decided by operating managers with little involvement by
HR department.

Job-posting programs:

HR departments become involved when internal job openings are publicized to employees
through job positioning programs, which informs employees about opening and required
qualifications and invite qualify employees to apply. The notices usually are posted on company

bulletin boards or are placed in the company newspaper. Qualification and other facts typically
are drawn from the job analysis information.
The purpose of job posting is to encourage employees to seek promotion and transfers the help
the HR department fill internal opening and meet employees personal objectives. Not all jobs
openings are posted .Besides entry level positions, senior management and top stuff positions
may be filled by merit or with external recruiting. Job posting is most common for lower level
clerical, technical and supervisory positions.

Departing Employees

An often overlooked source of recruiters consists of departing employees. Many employees


leave because they can no longer work the traditional 40 hours work week .School, child care
needs and other commitments are the common reason. Some might gladly stay if they could
rearrange their hours of work or their responsibilities .Instead, they quit when a transfer to a parttime job may retain their valuable skill and training. Even if part-time work is not a solution, a
temporary leave of absence may satisfy the employee and some future recruiting need of the
employer.

2. External Sources:
When job opening cannot be filled internally, the HR department of SQUARE must look outside
the organization for applicants. We discuss all the external source of recruitment at bellow:

Walk-ins and Write-ins:

Walk-ins are some seekers who arrived at the HR department of SQUARE in search of a job;
Write-ins are those who send a written enquire .both groups normally are ask to complete and
application blank to determine their interest and abilities. Usable application is kept in an active
file until a suitable opening occurs or until an application is too old to be considered valid,
usually six months.

Employee Referrals

Employees may refer job seekers to the HR department .Employee referrals have several
advantages .Employees with hard to find job skill may no others who do the same work.
Employees referrals are excellent and legal recruitment technique, but they tend to maintain the
status quo of the work force in term of raise, religions, sex and other characteristics, possibly
leading to charges of discrimination.

Advertising

Want ads describe the job and the benefits, identify the employer, and tell those who are
interested how to apply .They are most familiar form of employment advertising .for highly
specialist requites, ads may be placed in professional journal or out of town newspaper in areas
with high concentration of the desired skills

Example:
General Manager- Production (Ref: PM)
-Age: 28-35 years; Graduate with specialization in garment mfg technology from NIFT or equiv.
-Minimum 10 years experience in similar position of a unit with a minimum of 1000 machines.
-Must have detailed hands on knowledge of industrial engineering.
We offer competitive salary which is commensurate with experience and qualification.
If you aspire to an exciting and rewarding career, send your detailed resume, quoting your
present and expected salaries to jobs.

Internet

Now today nobody thinks anything without internet. So SQUARE give their advertise at internet.

Example:
WWW.bdjobs.com
www.square.bd.com

4.1.2 Selection Criteria:


Every organization follows some selection criteria. As a multinational company square textile ltd
also follows some selection criteria for selecting the best candidates. For selecting the best
candidates the two selection criteria on which square textile ltd give more emphasis are:
Formal education
Experience and past performance

4.1.3 Selection Process:


Employment Tests:
Usually employment tests are not taken in Square Textile Limited. In the most of the cases they
select candidates by taking face to face final interview.
Employment Interview:
Employment Interview means face to face verbal interview. Every individual candidate has to
face a employment interview. Since, in the square textile ltd, there is no initial screening
interview; in this comprehensive interview the management describes the job in enough detail to
the candidates so that whether they were really serious about the job. The management also
bargains about salary range with the applicants. They check whether the applicant is willing to
work at any place in the country where their office is available.
4.1.4 Interview Process:
Usually Interview board in Square Textile Limited typically consists of their representatives
from HRM Department, Deputy General Manager & General Manager of the concerned
department for which employee is being selected and sometimes representatives of the CEO.

Figure 03: Selection & Recruitment Process of Beximco Apparels Limited

4.2.1 Recruitment process:


A responsibility for recruitment usually belongs to the HR department. This department works to
find and attract capable applicants. Job description and speciation provide the needed
information upon which the recruitment process starts. The functions of the recruitment office of
BAL are given below:
1. Need Assessment
2. Defining the position description
3. Checking the recruiting options
4. Advertisement
5. Screening and short listing Applications
6. Written test
7. Selection interview (3 tier)
8. Employment decision (Application Bank)
9. Pre- employment medical check-up
10. Offer letter
11. Orientation / Induction
12. Placement
13. Follow up

4.2.2 Source of Recruitment:


Bangladesh is done in four ways depending on the job category of the vacant position. Therefore,
the recruitment process of this organization is classified into four types, which are done based on
the job grade/ group. These are as follows:

Entry-level management
MT (Manager Trainee)
Mid or / and Senior level management
Graded staff / Non- management staff

1. Internal Source:
There could be a person competent for the required job working within the organization. If there
is, the existing manpower is then shuffled to place the selected person in the new post. If there is
no such person inside the company, then the management goes for the second step.

Job-posting programs:

HR departments become involved when internal job openings are publicized to employees
through job positioning programs, which informs employees about opening and required
qualifications and invite qualify employees to apply. The notices usually are posted on company
bulletin boards or are placed in the company newspaper. Qualification and other facts typically
are drawn from the job analysis information. The purpose of job posting is to encourage
employees to seek promotion and transfers the help the HR department fill internal opening and
meet employees personal objectives. Not all jobs openings are posted .Besides entry level
positions, senior management and top stuff positions may be filled by merit or with external
recruiting. Job posting is most common for lower level clerical, technical and supervisory
positions.

Departing Employees:

An often overlooked source of recruiters consists of departing employees. Many employees


leave because they can no longer work the traditional 40 hours work week .School, child care
needs and other commitments are the common reason. Some might gladly stay if they could
rearrange their hours of work or their responsibilities .Instead, they quit when a transfer to a parttime job may retain their valuable skill and training. Even if part-time work is not a solution,

a temporary leave of absence may satisfy the employee and some future recruiting need of the
employer.
2. External Source:
All the above options being considered, the company goes for external recruiting if needed.
Those who best meet the skills, qualifications, experience and competencies required for the
position should fill vacancies. Therefore, if there is no candidate within BAL, Bangladesh who is
suitable for the role, external advertisement should be placed to attract the potential candidates
followed by the selection procedures.

Advertisement:

The Company gives advertisement in national dailies (both Bangle and English) to attract the
talents from the market. BAL, Bangladesh puts two types of advertisements in the newspapers. It
sometimes keeps the identity concealed in the ads, mentioning a GPOBOX number only. The
purpose of the concealed identity is to avoid the unwanted pressure from the stakeholders for the
employment of their desired candidates. But this way the company may lose the talents out there
in the market who would have applied for the same post had they known the name of the
organization. This is why the company kept the identity open in their recent job advertisement
when the quality of the candidate was a very important factor to consider. By revealing the BAL
identify, the company attempts to attract the best potentials among all the others.

Employee referrals:

Employee referral means using personal contracts to locate job opportunities. It is commendation
from a current employee regarding a job applicant. The logic behind employee referral is that it
takes

one

to

know

one.

Employees

working

in

the,

in

thiscase, are encouraged to recommend the names of their friends working in other organization
for a possible vacancy in the near future.

Employment Agency:

An agency finds and prescreens applicants, referring those who seem qualified to the
organization for further assessment and final selection. An agency can screen effectively only it
has a clear understanding of the position it is trying to fill. Thus it is very important that an
employer be as specific and accurate as possible when describing a position and its recruitment
to an employment agency.

Walk-ins and Write-ins:

Walk-ins are some seekers who arrived at the HR department of BAL in search of a job; Writeins are those who send a written enquire .both groups normally are ask to complete and
application blank to determine their interest and abilities. Usable application is kept in an active
file until a suitable opening occurs or until an application is too old to be considered valid,
usually six months.

Consulting the CV Bank:

The unsolicited applications stored in the data bank are consulted. If the quality of a person
matches with the requirements mentioned in the position description, then he / she is called for
interview. If not, then the third step is followed.
4.2.3 Selection Process:
Selection is the process of gathering information for the purpose of evaluating and deciding who
should be employed in particular jobs.
1. Screening and Short-listing Applications
The responses to the advertisements are sorted and screened. The CVs as well as the Covering
letters are judged. In the covering letter, the style and language of writing, the emphasis put on
the areas asked for tin the advertisements and the quality of the letter (whether it is specifically
tailored to the advertisement or just a standard response) are the aspects that are judged.
For example, educational institutions like IBA, BUET are given the highest weight among the
local ones and the foreign universities of UK, Australia, etc. are put at par with the best of the
country. Based on the presence of these factors to the desired extent (experience,

educational

degree, computer literacy, etc) the cumulative weights for all the applicants are counted and the
short list of a sizable number of the top most candidates is generated. However, the HR officials
also study the CVs with the respective line manager to check whether any valuable deciding
parameter is missed that are mentioned in the CVs. Then the candidates selected in the short list
are called for the written test.
2. Selection Interview
The interview process is a three-tier one. A preliminary interview is conducted which follows the
elimination method. After that, the second interview takes place with a very few number

of candidates. Then finally selected person is called for the final interview. The interview time is
kept convenient for the candidate especially if s/he is working elsewhere at the time of interview.
In that case the chosen time is after the business hour.
3. Reference Check
Reference checks allow obtaining information and opinions regarding the personscharacter,
quality of the work and suitability for the position. It is an opportunity to validate the information
received from the candidate via their resume and the interview. Speaking to the candidates
manager or other people whom they have worked with should also check internal candidates.
The opinion of a referee who has worked can for an extended period is likely to be more accurate
than the assessment from one to two hours of interviewing.
The candidates immediate supervisors are needed to be contacted. Permission should
beobtained to contact the candidates referee especially if their current employer iscontacted. It is
not unusual for a candidate to be uncomfortable with the organizations speaking to a current
employer. If they are uncomfortable, an alternative person other than the current employer has
to be chosen

by the

candidate

(work

colleague, for example). Unless the candidate is a graduate or school leaver with no prior work e
xperience, only contact work related referees should be contacted. At least two reference checks
should be done, however the more the better. There is a sample reference-checking guide that is
more or less followed. It is important to prepare a reference check guide that asks the referee
about the key skills, competencies and experience required for the position. Reference checks
need to be done by line manager or personnel of the HR department. During the interviews, the
candidates would have given some examples of incidents, tasks or projects that can be asked
about.
4. Employment Decision:
If the candidate has no problem with the stated terms and conditions of the job and the
organization mentioned and discussed in the final interview, s/he is offered an application blank.
The application blank is a standard format of employee-information that includes all the
information the organization needs regarding the personnel. The candidate has to fill this blank
and submit this to the company along with a CV.
5. Pre-employment Medical Check-up:

After submission of the application and the CV, the selected person has to go through full
medical check-up that guarantees her/his physical fitness to perform the job successfully. A

cal is also appropriate for internal candidates if they are applying for positions that require
different physical capabilities.

package, job responsibilities, utilities that will be provided by the organization. Even at this stage
the selected candidate has the chance to withdraw her/himself from the job offer. S/he is always
free to discuss whatever difficulty may arise regarding pay-structure/facilities, etc. the door of
HR is kept open for any sort of relevant discussion.
7. Verbal offer:

been successfully completed. The discussion should cover the following:

8.

some technical areas like Quality Assurance or Maintenance, executive trainers are utilized. The
Trainers are the identified training experts within the area who are knowledgeable, skilled, and
are trained as a Trainer through a 'Train the Trainers' workshop. Basic understanding of human
psychology and relevant communication methods are taught in this workshop. They follow
specific methods of training required to train the trainee considering their learning styles. After
successful completion of the Trainer's workshop, Peer Trainers are awarded with certificate
which in turn authorizes them to train the trainees.

Training is to be conducted one on one, meaning one Trainer trains only one trainee at a time.
Though if needed, dual training (2 trainees with 1 trainer) might be conducted or any other
exception should be done upon approval of the Department In-Charge and the Head of the
Training Department.

Training Materials

Beximco Textile Division primarily depends on On the Job Training to develop skills for their
manpower. To facilitate this training process each area of Training follows a Training Task
Checklist (TTCL). Specifications are also used as supporting document to train a trainee since it
is considered to be the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that must be followed to do the job.

determined by the individual department, and mentioned on the Training Task Checklist (TTCL).
This means that an individual can be certified to do a particular job, which is part of a complete

Then if approved and specified by the department, a Conditional Certification on Chemical
Preparation may be given to an individual if s/he is trained to do this particular job without
completing the full training. In this case, certificate will be issued as "Conditionally Certified".
5.4.3 Training Method:

Job Skills Training

The following steps are followed to train an individual at different units under Beximco Textiles
Division.

Safety Tour and Guidelines

The trainee is given a tour of his/her primary work area. Trainer shows all the hazards associated
with the area such as fire, thermal, mechanical, and electrical hazards. He/ she are given tips on
what to do in case of an emergency. Trainer must review the Health & Safety manual for BTD
(Document No. 10-202) with the trainee. Apart from this, each trainee must be informed about
the dress code and code of conduct of BTD in general.

Factory Overview and Tour

The trainee is given a brief overview of the factory specifying when it was built, current
production capability, and its management structure. Trainer then introduces the trainee with the
key individuals that s/he will be interfacing to conduct the job. A factory tour is given showing
different departments, offices, and production areas.
Note: Once determined, the trainer will review the Beximco Philosophy, Vision of the Industry,
Goal of the factory, and Area goals with the trainee.

Job Knowledge Transfer

At this stage, the trainer and the trainee prepare themselves to focus on the specific job skills that
should be acquired by the trainee. To ensure that this happens, trainer does the following:
1. Reviews all related area specifications with the trainee.
2. Explains the job thoroughly.
3. Transfers all theories that are required to do the job.
4. Provides any job aides, drawings or any other materials available.
5. Checks understanding to ensure knowledge are transferred.
Trainer has the option to do the following:

2. Review of related manuals and technical resources.

Job Observations

Next the trainer selects tasks from the Training Task Checklist (primarily one task at a time for
effectiveness), and performs the job while the trainee observes. Trainer demonstrates each steps
of the task and explains thoroughly to the trainee. Trainer may demonstrate the same task more
than once depending on the trainees learning ability.

Skills Practice

Once trainer feels that the trainee has grasped the knowledge and is able to perform the job, then
trainer allows the trainee to perform the same task under his/her (trainers) guidance. Trainer
must take full responsibility for the task that the trainee is performing. The number of times
trainee practices a skill under observation depends on the trainers discretion.

Proficiency

Developing proficiency to perform a task or a job depends on the nature of the job/task and on
the ability of the persons adeptness. Once the trainee feels comfortable performing a task and
also when the trainer has the confidence on the trainees ability to perform the task without any
mistake, trainee signs on the Training Progress Report (TPR). This does not mean that the trainee
is certified to perform the task independently without the guidance of the trainer.

Each area or department may wish to define proficiency period on their TTCL for each task but
the ultimate decision lies on the trainers judgment based on the trainees confidence and comfort
level for performing the task(s).

Ad hoc Training

Whenever any change is made or some new tasks are included in the TTCL based on the new
process or a part of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is changed then Ad hoc training is
arranged upon the request of change initiator. The change initiator specifies it on the Change
Notification Form (F10-101-02). Objective of this training is to facilitate the changes in different
processes immediately and effectively by educating the employees involved in that particular
area.
Whenever a need is identified for ad hoc training the Training Requisition Form is filled out as
specified in section 2.2 of this manual. The Training department takes the initiative to arrange an
ad hoc training session by consulting with Trainers and relevant Section Head.
To continuously monitor the progress of trainee a training progress report viz. Ad hoc Training
Progress Report (ATPR), (Form No. F20-501-04) is maintained by the Trainers after completion
of the tasks introduced in that particular area where the change has been made.
5.4.4 Training Monitoring and Follow-up:

Peer Trainer

Assigned peer trainer is the primary person responsible for monitoring the progress of the
training. The trainer is to submit a progress report to the Training Coordinator and to the section
head every week or as it is agreed by the Training Department and the Section head prior to the
training. Any issues regarding the trainee or the training must be communicated to the Training
Coordinator promptly for quick resolution. Besides this to ensure task by task monitoring, trainee
uses a Training Progress Report (TPR) Form, which includes all the levels and tasks. Peer
Trainer's responsibility is to collect signature of trainees for each of the task after successful
transfer of knowledge related to a particular task. Peer Trainer bears the ultimate responsibility
for the training performance.

Training Program Coordinator

Training Program Coordinator (TPC) maintains good communication with the Peer Trainer and
follows up with the training progress. Training coordinator ensures all barriers are removed in
order to create an environment for effective training. TPC is responsible for upward
communication ensuring stakeholders are well informed of the factory Training and Certification

Training Evaluation & Development Coordinator

Training Evaluation & Development Coordinators (TEDC) are responsible for monitoring the
training progress, evaluation, accepting feedback for any training or training related
improvements, development of training resources, etc.

what individuals do at work, not their personal characteristics. Behaviors are a much better
option to use in an appraisal than traits. While an individual supervisor or manager may make a
mistake in judgment of the traits of an employee, physical actions or behaviors can be directly
observed, and as a result they are more likely to be a valid assessment of the individuals
performance.
In general, directly observing and evaluating an action is significantly more objective than
making an attempt to judge a trait such as effort. If we applied the same evaluation of behaviors
to all of the individuals in the same type of job, we would have a reasonable certainty that we
were being uniform in application. The same thing would be true here in evaluating the concept
of consistent in effect.
To develop behavioral appraisals Square Textiles follow below systems:

Generate critical incidents: In the Square textile their HR department and Production
department provide their employee some critical tusk or new tusk .By this they can able
to measure their employee how they react in that situation.

Develop performance dimensions: To increase their employee performance and


knowledge Square textile make dimensions in their employee job.

Reallocate incidents: Incident which is provided by the head of the department that
being relocated.

Scale the incidents: One scale was provided by the head of the department. This is work
as a margin for the employee.

Develop a final instrument: And lastly they develop a final instrument based on the
above different type.

If the employee of this organization meets the demand quickly of other textile then HR
department gives 5 marks of their employee and then gradually they count that means if
employee make delay to fulfill their customer demand on time they will gradually get decreasing
mark on the basis of their promptness of supply performance to customer.

Generate critical incidents uses by Square Textile Limited

Critical incidents method is a performance appraisal method in which a manager keeps a written
record of positive and negative performance of employees throughout the performance period.
There is no standard form used, so it is a method that helps organization to easily find out their

positive and negative impact. So through this method they take necessary step to improve their
positive situation and try to decrease negative impact of organization.
How critical incidents work in Square Textile Limited:

Square Textile always maintains raw data. In critical incident written data is used.

In this system of measuring every employee have to maintain a book for entering
information which is done by them.

In this book they entry day to day work. By evaluating this book head of the department
of the square textile able to calculate which tusk is done positively and which is done
negatively.

After result: Square Textile use critical incidents to do a good assessment of the entire review
period, and they coach when needed during the entire review period for developmental decisions.
Square maintain continually conduct informal coaching and disciplining when needed as they
make notes of critical incidents to use during the formal review. With clear standards and
coaching, square minimize disagreements over performance during the formal performance
appraisal because there are no surprises, because employees know what is coming.
Although critical incidents are commonly used for developmental decisions, they are also used
for evaluative decisions. For legal purposes, a list of documented critical incidents is especially
important to have leading up the evaluative decision of firing employees.
After reviewing all the report of the appraisal head of the department take necessary step to
improve their employee performance and productivity. Head of the department try to make them
positive employee those who work as negative.

Forced Distribution Method used by Square Textile Limited:

Square Textile Limited uses forced distribution method to appraise their employee performance.
Here employees are clustered around a high point on a rating scale. Rater is compelled to
distribute the employees on all points on the scale. It is assumed that the performance is
conformed to normal distribution. Square use forced distribution method to get Advantages of
unrealistic, errors of central tendency and want to Eliminates Disadvantages Assumption of
normal distribution,
In this method they placed predetermined percentages of rates in various performance categories.
The proportions of

each category are not symmetrical. Square force ranks

its employees.

Managers appraise employees in groups of about 25 and those in the bottom of each group get 90
days to improve .If they are still in bottom in 90 days they can resign and take severance pay.
Some here decide to stay but if it doesnt work out the firm fires them without severance. This
dismissal policy seems somewhat standard .It reflects the fact that top employees often
outperform average or poor ones by as much as 100%. A bout 500 companies use forced
distribution. Square textile give reward top employs. This Company always follows fairness
when they give any reward. Fairness creates a value for the employees mind and them emphasis
more on their work.

Forced Choice Method used by Square Textile Limited:

Square textile use forced choice method which is known as the series of statements arranged in
the blocks of two or more are given and the rater indicates which statement is true or false. The
rate is forced to make a choice. HR department of square textile does actual assessment. Square
textile limited also tries to use forced choice method to get Advantages of Absence of personal
biases because of forced choice. And try to reduce Disadvantages of Statements may be wrongly
framed.
Square textile efficiently distinguishing between top and bottom performers. In this method the
main challenge is to differentiate meaningfully between the other 80% .Square textile limited
also uses this to appraise performance of employs.

Square textile ltd. recognizes superior

performance by appraising the performance of employs. When their any employees performance
is better than other employees, then that employees get reward from the organization, which
statements apply to the most effective employee. The following box is a classic illustration of the
forced choice items in square textileSquare Parma use this type of table for rating -

Square appoint a review committee to review any employs low ranking. Train raters to be
objective. This is based on the test of knowledge or skills. The tests may be written or an actual
presentation of skills .Tests may be apt to measure potential more than actual performance.
Square textile also offer to their employees give up training for getting more benefit of company
and staffs do their best for that. Employees promotion depends on their performance and
activities .Forced distribution method helps to determine the position of employs in the
organization. Self appraisal is an important part of the Performance appraisal process where the
employee himself gives the feedback or his views and points regarding his performance. Usually
this is done with the help of a self appraisal form where the employee rates himself on various
parameters, tells about his training needs, if any, talks about his accomplishments, strengths,
weaknesses, problems faced etc.
Square group followed all rules and regulations for improving their employees self appraisal.
This can be finding by using forced method easily.

Paired comparison method uses by Square Textile Limited:

By following this method square actually comparing their employee by pairs. They took report
about their employee on a particular trait and then comparing them by pairs. Each employees
performance represent he is good or bad comparing with another employee. They also rank their
employees by making a chart of all possible pairs of the employees for each trait and indicating
which the better employee of the pair is. As previously said this depends on the employees
performance. Paired Comparison Analysis (also known as Pair wise Comparison helps them
work out the importance of a number of options relative to one another.
This makes it easy to choose the most important problem to solve, or to pick the solution that
will be most effective. It also helps those set priorities where there are conflicting demands on
square textiles resources. The tool is particularly useful when they dont have objective data to

use to make their decision. It's also an ideal tool to use to compare different, subjective options,
for example, where they need to decide the relative importance of qualifications, skills,
experience, and team working ability when they hiring people for a new role. The main
advantage they got that is. It means that when they comparing they are getting the better one
compared to another. The method is quit fast also so they can find the result fatly. As it is most
commonly used by the organizations so square textile also using it. But there are also some
disadvantages they are facing. One is Comparisons can be problematic depending on number and
complexity of jobs. As square textile is a largest organization so they cannot apply it by whole. It
also sometime may appear arbitrary to employees. Sometime the result may be unreliable. So
based on the procedure and advantage and disadvantage square textile can use it when they
compares few employees.

this reason sometime they are not capable to use enough technology for appraising

employee are not motivated to improve their performance.


Sometimes they dont use specific performance stander all time its can create great

part of a comprehensive human resource management strategy. Its objective is to maximize
individuals performance and potential with a view to attaining organizational goals and

enhancing overall effectiveness and productivity, it also helps to improve communication


between managers and staff on managing performance. Performance objectives are set at the
beginning of the performance management cycle (January to December) through open discussion
between the supervisors and the appraises. Progress is monitored regularly and feedback from
staff and supervisors is collected to help clarify objectives and output expectation and enhance
performance.
6.3.1 Uses of Performance Appraisal System:

which employee needs more training and it can help to evaluate the results of the training
programs. It helps the subordinate-supervisor-counseling relationship and it encourages
supervisor to observe subordinates behavior to help employees.

organization to decide who gets pay rise, provide valid ground at the time of promotion
and other rewards.

Beximco Apparels Ltd. It encourages initiatives, develops a sense of responsibility and
stimulates to perform better.
iv. Legal Compliance Performance appraisal serves as a legally defensible reason for
promotions, transfer, discharge and rewards.

planning. When all the functional heads completes the whole procedure of evaluation
they send it to HR Department for their record and subsequent process.
vi. Compensation it provides information that can be used to determine what to pay and what
will serve as equitable monetary package. Base on the performance the Supervisor wards
Individual Performance Multiplier (IPM) ultimately that IPM indirectly decides how
much pay rise one is going to receive.
vii. Communication Evaluation is a basis for an ongoing discussion between superior and
subordinate about job related matters. Through interactions the parties get to know each

6.3.2 Performance Appraisal System:
Beximco Apparels Limited divided its total employees into two categories for appraisal.

1. Management Employee: Divided into director, manager and officer


2. Non-management Employee.

Directors and Managers Appraisal Process in Beximco:

Beximco Apparels Limited used management by objectives (MBO) method to appraise their
directors and managers performance.

Officers Appraisal Process in Beximco:

Officers appraisal is a formal process being conducted through participatory manner. This is not
viewed as an annual event rather it represents a systematic year- round process. At the initial
stage of the performance year, both supervisor and supervisee discuss about targets to be
achieved in the current year and share mutual expectations. At this stage, objectives are set and
action plans are developed. During the year, supervisor provides performance feedback to the
employee. Supervisors observe the pattern of behavior of the subordinate in connection with job
performance. This is process of observation, follow-up, providing necessary support, counseling,
coaching and mentoring etc. The timing of officers appraisal is the same to managers.
Non-Management Staffs Appraisal Process in Beximco:
Appraisal system of non-management staff is different than that of management employees. Non
management staff (i.e. sweeper) to confidential secretary is under non-management appraisal
system. In case of non-management employees appraisal, mainly two issues are considered: (1)
Individual record: based on individual record following items are considered - discipline,
punctuality, leave record, monthly medical visits, leave availed and (2) Performance: in case of
evaluating performance following things are considered - knowledge of job, accuracy, neatness,
dependability, work speed, responsibility, adaptability, attitude to others, health & safety
awareness, leadership. Beximco Apparels Ltd management maintains Annual Confidential
Report or ACR to assess annual job performance of each and every non-management staff. Job
performance of non-management staffs is evaluated once at the end of each financial year. In
ACR, every departmental heads put their remarks about the individual's job performance and
efficiency. And for non-management staff adjective rating scale method is used as well. Here
evaluation is done on each of the items on a five point scale (A) Very Good, (B) Good, (C)
Satisfactory, (D) Poor, and (E) Very Poor.

6.3.3 Strengths of Performance Appraisal of Beximco Apparels


Limited
Some of the mentionable strengths of performance appraisal system of Beximco Apparels Ltd as
found out through this report are given below

Uses of Appraisal Method: Beximco use MBO method which is very effective, both
appraisers and appraises actively involved in the objective formulation process, and they
also agree on the nature of performance assessment for example, what measures will be

used to evaluate success and failure.


Regular Appraisal System: Beximco Apparels Ltd conducts performance evaluation

regularly so the employees always remain cautious to perform well.


Useful in Employee Motivation- It is very systematically used in promotion decisions as
well as compensation and reward decisions as a result it is useful in counseling and

development of employees.
Use of Different Rating Forms: Beximco Apparels Ltd believes that an organization
needs different types of employees for several activities and there must be different
appraisal system for them. People in the management, officers and workers are bound to
differ in respect to work style, qualification, educational background and demographic

characteristics. The concept is quite logical and gives better justice.


Fulfills the Requirements of Established Criteria: Fulfills the criteria of relevance for
example measure of performance is related to the actual output s logically as possible,
sensitivity for example able to reflect the difference between high and low performers
and practicality for example- it is measurable (in most of the cases).

6.3.4 Weakness of Performance Appraisal of Beximco Apparels Ltd

Some of the mentionable weakness of performance appraisal system of Beximco Apparels Ltd as
found out through this research are given below-

Lack of Periodic Review: The performance review should be periodically monitored to


obtain correct feedback and provide guidelines for problem solving. It should not be
viewed once in a year.

Difficulty in Compilation for Final Grade: For officers performance evaluation the
overall grading is done based on the frequency of occurrence tick marked in a specific
column. The second highest or third highest rate is meaningless. The raters have the

scope to be biased.
Use of Many Qualitative Factors: Many of the attributes and traits specific measuring
standards were not spelt to raters as well as rates. Factors like dependability, initiative,

attitudes etc. are all most impossible to measure. It provides scope of personal error.
Complexity of PDP Form: The PDP format has been introduced after receiving from the
global corporate headquarters. In developing this system Beximco Apparels Ltd did not
participate so the format does not match with the level of knowledge and understanding

of the present employees.


Lack of legal defense- In some organizations, before giving any employee extreme low
rating; the rater has to give at least two written warnings. However in Beximco there is

no such provision as a result it may not be legally defensible.


Scope of Personal Biases- In Beximco Apparels Ltd raters have the liberty to grade any
number in any grading as a result there is a chance for leniency or harshness error.

8.0 Recommendations:
Beximco Apparels Limited:
From the analysis with the organization structure I have seen that their span of super vision is
too large. A number of departments report directly to the general manager. If the number were
less the efficiency and productivity of the organization might be increased. Quality control
department should remain prompt always. So that it can maintain a certain level of standard as
per the market demand to capture the foreign market share it should strive more.
The textiles industry should be encouraged to install available machinery, where it can be
shown to be economic, in order to strengthen industry confidence in it to maintain the interest
of potential manufactures in this area.
1. I want to recommend that Beximco should expand their human resource management.
This department controls that kind of factor. The HRM section reviews the job design,
compliance issue, productivity time & other relative importance.
2. The industry can provide extra facility or the employee those who are wanting to
learning for something.
3. Industry can also collect the graduates & other shill resources those who are educated
in this sector. The educational institute & the industry can provide the student for
research & internship serve in this sector. Those kinds of activity help the apparel
industry for upgrades in every time & match with the changing fashion business world.
4. The HRD manager of the company should be analyzed the organizational
jobs properly. Because job analysis serves the cornerstone of all human resource
functions in an organization. Side by side the HRD manager should evaluate
the different positions of employees in the organization in order to establish the well
conceived for pay-structure

Square Textile Limited:


1. Square Textile Limited should be prepared the standard human resource planning.
Because the success and failure of the organization is highly depend on the proper
human resource planning.
2. The company should follow both on-the-job and off-the job method training when they
are training their employees.
3. The HRD manager should prepare the standard promotion policy for the employees of
the organization. Here it is very much important that the employees should get the
promotion based on the performance not the nepotism, political influence and
whatsoever.
4. Before appraising the performance of employees in the organization properly, the HRD
manager should be established the standard. Here it is noticeable that the HRD
manager should appraise the performance of all employees in the organization without
showing any discrimination.

8.1 Conclusion

are the biggest organizations in Bangladesh. Both companies have a very well reputation for this
