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.

1.2 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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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 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.

present and expected salaries to jobs.

Before the interview starts, interviewers are supplied with all the information of the candidates.
This includes the educational qualification, work experience etc.
There are some predetermined criteria of evaluation or questions. Interviewers ask questions
according to job & their individual judgment. Interviewers together usually give a combined
grade. That is, after the departure of a candidate from the room; interviewers discuss among
themselves regarding the strong and weak points of the candidate and compare the candidate
with other candidates.
Finally, with the consent of other members of the board, the chairman of the interview board
gives a final grade. That grade is considered as the opinion of the whole board.
4.1.5 Types of Interview:
The following features characterize the interview process, typically carried out in Square Textile

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:
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 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.
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
medical

the
candidateagainst the physical capabilities documented for each role conducts the medical. Amedi
cal is also appropriate for internal candidates if they are applying for positions that require
different physical capabilities.
6. Offering the Role:
Once the health check-up is done, the candidate is given an offer letter specifying thes alary
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.

been successfully completed. The discussion should cover the following:

Conditional Certification
In order to bring flexibility to accelerate manpower utilization and to provide time to develop
proficiency, a Conditional Certificate may be given for a particular level of certification if it is
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
Certification (Level 1/2/3), and specified on the TTCL as a cluster of skills. For example, if level
1 on a particular operation, say Scour& Bleaching involves the following 3 skills:
1. Chemical Preparation
2. Machine Set up
3. Daily Machine Cleaning
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:
The following steps are followed to train an individual at different units under Beximco Textiles
Division.
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.
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.
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:
1. Let the trainee go through any available classes associated with the job.
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 (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
status.
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.
5.4.5 Training Evaluation and Certification
Evaluation Process
When training is complete, Peer Trainer informs Training Evaluation & Development
Coordinator (TEDC). For wrapping up the training, the TEDC sets up a meeting with the Trainee
and the Trainer with prior approval of the Section Head. During this meeting the trainee is
evaluated based on the criteria stated on the Training Evaluation Form, (Form No. F20-501-03).
After evaluation, the team recommends either to continue training or authorizes to certify the
trainee. If authorized for certification, TPC processes the paper work as per section 7.2 of this
specification.
Certification
Issuance of Certificate
Once the Evaluation Team (consist of TEDC and Trainer) recommends to issue a Certificate or a
Conditional Certificate, TEDC documents training information on Training Departments file.
Training history including Peer Trainers name, training period, and tasks on the TPR that had
been signed are entered into the Training Database.
After completion of all documentation, Training Program Coordinator (TPC) issues a Certificate
or documents to support Conditional Certificate.
The following is done by the TPC for full certification:
1. Updates Training Departments documents.
2. A certificate is issued to the Section Head for department filing.

growing concern to HR departments of Square .Throw the development of current employees the
department reduces the companys dependents on hiring new workers .if employees are

greater commitment.
Chapter 06
Performance appraisal (is) a process that identifies, evaluates and develops employee
performance to meet employee and organizational goals.
Performance Appraisal doesnt necessarily use to blame or to provide a disciplinary action.
Previous management theories used to view performance appraisal as a stick that management
has introduced to beat people. Performance appraisals are now more clarified and they
concentrate on developing organizational strengths and employee performance.
6.2
Overall
Performance
Appraisal
of
Square
Textile
Limited
Square textile follows different kinds of method for appraising their employee performance. Like
that they use behaviorally anchored rating sale, forced distribution method, forced choice
method, Generate critical incidents and much other method. Square always concern about their
employee performance day to day they take different kinds of step to improve performance of
employee through appraising performance they want to improve employee performance quality
skill, knowledge and many other things, they also provide different kinds of incentive and benefit
to inspire employee to improve their organizational performance.
A predetermined form with evaluation criteria will be provided to the concerned Head of
Department.
After assessment of his/her performance, the filled in form with recommendation will be
placed to the Committee.
The Committee shall then submit recommendations to the Management for final
approval.
Square Textiles tries to maintain their behavioral appraisals which behaviors are simply the
actions taken by individualsthe things that they do and say. Behavioral appraisals measure
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
6.2.2 Problems of performance appraisal Square Textile Limited:
They dont invest enough money to improve their performance appraisal technology. For
this reason sometime they are not capable to use enough technology for appraising
performance.
Sometime they dont fairly use their appraisal system. There may be arise biasness.
All Employees are not familiar with basic appraisal techniques. So there can be creating
appraisal skills. For this reason they are not properly capable to use appraisal system.
Sometimes they dont maintain appraisal format and criteria comply with EEO laws and
Beximco Apparels Limited used management by objectives (MBO) method to appraise their
directors and managers performance.
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.
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
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
Some of the mentionable weakness of performance appraisal system of Beximco Apparels Ltd as
found out through this research are given below-
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
Chapter 07
3. Square Textile Limited are using Behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS), Forced
Distribution Method and Paired comparison method to apprise their employees but
Beximco Apparels Limited used management by objectives (MBO) method to appraise
their directors and managers performance. Besides, 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.
4. Beximco Apparels Ltd conducts performance evaluation regularly so the employees
always remain cautious to perform well but Square Textile conducts performance
evaluation once or twice in a year.
5. Beximco Textile Division primarily depends on the Job training to develop skills for their
manpower besides they are using Factory Overview and Tour, Job Knowledge Transfer,
Job Observations, Skills Practice, Ad hoc Training etc. but Square Textile Limited uses
only few method in training like: on the Job Training, Job Rotation, Apprenticeship
Training.
Chapter 08
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
8.1 Conclusion

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

able to set a role model in our country. To compete in international as well as in local market in
adverse situation the HR managers work has become much more difficult in todays ever
changing business environment. Developing plans in a dynamic situation demands critical
analysis of the situation and strict adhering to the core principal of the organization. Beximco
Apparels Ltd. with its progressive business outlook believes and practices corporate work culture
