    Management is essentially flair for approaching and tackling with a highdegree of sensitivity, sophistication and style. To work, learn and to feel the pulse of

    corporate world and its interface with the environment setting, Management student are

    required to undertake training in the corporate sector. The training gives student an

    opportunity to apply their conceptual and practical skills in the real life business

    situation.

    the view to get a closer view of the RECRUITMENT AND ATTRITION TOOLS

    used in insurance sector and analyzing the situation.

    Together with strengthening the recruitment process, reduction in attrition rate can

    help an organization to grow in its respective fields. It is an area in which an HR can take

    a lead by recruiting right people, measuring attrition, seeking its causes, and setting out

    the solution and target performance.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMERY

    Attrition may be defined as the members of employees leaving the organization, which

    includes voluntary and involuntary separation. It is the gradual reduction in membership

    or personnel as through retirement, resignation or death.

    Staff attrition and absenteeism represent significant costs to most organisations. Many

    organizations appear to accept them as part of the cost of doing business a sign of

    increasing mobility and decreasing staff loyalty perhaps, a matter to be regretted but just

    one of those things.

    However, it seems to be one of the area in which HR can make a difference and one thatcan be measured in quatifiable, financial terms against targets.

    Research Instrument use was questionnaire Interview and observation techniques The

    questionnaire had closed ended question .Secondary data collected through published and

    unpublished material ,management literature research journals internet etc.The sample

    size is 115 employees of banking sector using random sampling.

    Banking Sector has its unique working strategies comprising of 3Ds i.e Discipline

    Dedication and Devotion .Its main motto is to provide quality service and consumer

    satisfaction .

    Accountability and responsibility for action including performance incentives based on

    fair and transparent easement and compensation in the best and an increase sense of

    security based on increased success of the organization.

    HISTORY OF INSURANCE

    In India, insurance has a deep-rooted history. It finds mention in the writings of Manu (Manusmrithi ), Yagnavalkya (Dharmasastra ) and Kautilya ( Arthasastra ). The writingstalk in terms of pooling of resources that could be re-distributed in times of calamitiessuch as fire, floods, epidemics and famine. This was probably a pre-cursor to modern dayinsurance. Ancient Indian history has preserved the earliest traces of insurance in theform of marine trade loans and carriers contracts. Insurance in India has evolved overtime heavily drawing from other countries, England in particular.

    1818 saw the advent of life insurance business in India with the establishment of theOriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. This Company however failed in 1834. In1829, the Madras Equitable had begun transacting life insurance business in the MadrasPresidency. 1870 saw the enactment of the British Insurance Act and in the last three

    decades of the nineteenth century, the Bombay Mutual (1871), Oriental (1874) andEmpire of India (1897) were started in the Bombay Residency. This era, however, wasdominated by foreign insurance offices which did good business in India, namely AlbertLife Assurance, Royal Insurance, Liverpool and London Globe Insurance and the Indianoffices were up for hard competition from the foreign companies.

    In 1914, the Government of India started publishing returns of Insurance Companiesin India. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measureto regulate life business. In 1928, the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted toenable the Government to collect statistical information about both life and non-lifebusiness transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers including provident insurancesocieties. In 1938, with a view to protecting the interest of the Insurance public, theearlier legislation was consolidated and amended by the Insurance Act, 1938 withcomprehensive provisions for effective control over the activities of insurers.

    The Insurance Amendment Act of 1950 abolished Principal Agencies. However, therewere a large number of insurance companies and the level of competition was high.There were also allegations of unfair trade practices. The Government of India, thereforedecided to nationalize insurance business.

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    17/102

    An Ordinance was issued on 19th January, 1956 nationalising the Life Insurance sectorand Life Insurance Corporation came into existence in the same year. The LIC absorbed154 Indian, 16 non-Indian insurers as also 75 provident societies245 reopened to theprivate sector.

    The history of general insurance dates back to the Industrial Revolution in the westand the consequent growth of sea-faring trade and commerce in the 17th century. It cameto India as a legacy of British occupation. General Insurance in India has its roots in theestablishment of Triton Insurance Company Ltd., in the year 1850 in Calcutta by theBritish. In 1907, the Indian Mercantile Insurance Ltd, was set up. This was the firstcompany to transact all classes of general insurance business.

    1957 saw the formation of the General Insurance Council, a wing of the InsuranceAssociation of India. The General Insurance Council framed a code of conduct forensuring fair conduct and sound business practices.

    In 1968, the Insurance Act was amended to regulate investments and set minimumsolvency margins. The Tariff Advisory Committee was also set up then.

    In 1972 with the passing of the General Insurance Business (Nationalisation) Act,general insurance business was nationalized with effect from 1st January, 1973. 107insurers were amalgamated and grouped into four companies, namely National Insurance

    Company Ltd., the New India Assurance Company Ltd., the Oriental Insurance CompanyLtd and the United

    India Insurance Company Ltd. The General Insurance Corporation of India wasincorporated as a company in 1971 and it commence business on January 1sst 1973.

    This millennium has seen insurance come a full circle in a journey extending to nearly200 years. The process ofre-opening of the sector had begun in the early 1990s and thelast decade and more has seen it been opened up substantially. In 1993,

    the Government set up a committee under the chairmanship of RN Malhotra, formerGovernor of RBI, to propose recommendations for reforms in the insurance sector.Theobjective was to complement the reforms initiated in the financial sector. The committeesubmitted its report in 1994 wherein , among other things, it recommended that theprivate sector be permitted to enter the insurance industry. They stated that

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    18/102

    foreign companies are allowed to enter by floating Indian companies, preferably a jointventure with Indian partners.

    Following the recommendations of the Malhotra Committee report, in 1999, theInsurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) was constituted as anautonomous body to regulate and develop the insurance industry. The IRDA wasincorporated as a statutory body in April, 2000. The key objectives of the IRDA includepromotion of competition so as to enhance customer satisfaction through increased

    consumer choice and lower premiums, while ensuring the financial security of theinsurance market.

    The IRDA opened up the market in August 2000 with the invitation for applicationfor registrations. Foreign companies were allowed ownership of up to 26%. TheAuthority has the power to frame regulations under Section 114A of the Insurance Act,1938 and has from 2000 onwards framed various regulations ranging from registration ofcompanies for carrying on insurance business to protection of policyholders interests.

    In December, 2000, the subsidiaries of the General Insurance Corporation of Indiawere restructured as independent companies and at the same time GIC was converted into

    a national re-insurer. Parliament passed a bill de-linking the four subsidiaries from GIC inJuly, 2002.

    Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:

    1818: Oriental Life Insurance Company, the first life insurance company on Indian soilstarted functioning.

    1870: Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, the first Indian life insurance company

    started its business.

    1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulatethe life insurance business.

    1928: The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collectstatistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

    1938: Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with theobjective of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

    1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies are taken over by thecentral government and nationalised. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act,1956, with a capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.

    The General insurance business in India, on the other hand, can trace its roots to theTriton Insurance Company Ltd., the first general insurance company established in theyear 1850 in Calcutta by the British.

    ABOUT IRDA

    The government of India opened the insurance sector to the private players on

    October 24, 2000, thus unraveling a new chapter in this field. This new policy of GOI isan outcome of Indias policy of liberalization and also the result of its obligation to theWTO to confirm to its principles and guidelines relating to the reduction of barriers totrade in services.

    The insurance returns committee under chairmanship of R.N. Malhotra in its April1993 report suggested reforms in the insurance sector including improvements in thefunctioning of LIC, GIC, liberalizing and developing a strengthening the regulatorysystem. The committee submitted its report on 07-01-1994 to Union Finance Minister.The bill was passed regarding this in 1998. Finally Insurance Regulatory and

    Development authority (IRDA) gained statutory status in April 2000.This epoch making decision of the GOI has ushered in anew era that hastransgressed four decades of complete control of the public sector over the private sector.

    IRDA allowed the private insurers to transact insurance business in India. IRDAstarted accepting applications from new private insurers from 19th April 2000.The firstbatch of licenses was given in October 2000.

    Till date licenses have been issued to 13 insurers including LIC. IRDA drafted therules of the game, selected the players who would enter the market. Having achieved this,it now performs referees role of ensuring that the players play by the rule. Besides, theIRDA is also entrusted with the task of developing the market that calls for generating

    insurance awareness in the country.IRDAs basic function is to protect consumer interest. This means ensuring proper

    disclosure, keeping prices affordable but also insisting on some mandatory products, andmost importantly making sure that the insurers pay the customer. Further ensuring thatthe solvency of the insurer is a very important function of the regulatory authority IRDAhas evolved a set of operational guidelines. To deal with maintaining the solvency of theinsurers. It has evolved guidelines for the entry and proper functioning of the Agents,Insurance consultants intermediaries.

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    22/102

    The critical aspects of IRDA in governing insurance sector are:

    a) The number and role of private sector operates including intermediaries.

    b) Regulate covering investments, solvency norms etc.c) Product ranged) Accounting practicese) Consumer protection normsf) Ensuring that the rural health and insurance are developedg) Fixing of licenses.

    While insurance regulatory and development authority (IRDA) has had a significant roleto play towards development and growth of private insurers in India, the regulator needs

    to be a little more proactive in taking initiatives. Due to certain regulations like thecommission structure, the cost of operating in India is nearly 25% higher that othercountries.

    The product clearance takes a long time causing slowdown in the industry growthHowever, IRDA has encouraged development of modern, innovative products, flexible premium payments, new distribution channels, improved customer services andintroduced proper regulation to protect policy holders interest.

    LIBERALIZATION OF INSURANCE SECTOR

    Liberalization commitment of the country to help in disciplining future economicpolicies will include the insurance reforms. When world over insurance market has beenopen up, Indian market cannot remain in isolation. History has shown that it is verydifficult for a country to remain in isolation.

    Globalization is the new economic reality, which is here to stay, heralding a newera of insurance in India.

    With the opening of the insurance industry, India stands to gain with thefollowing major advantages:

    Globalization will provide opportunities to the customers. Better production with more reasonable and affordable prices.

    The customer will get better services.

    It will enhance the saving rate.

    Long term funds for infrastructure development will be available to the country.

    It will secure for India larger inflow of foreign capital need to sustain our GDPgrowth.

    WHY INSURANCE IN INDIA?

    We live in the information age. People are becoming more aware of the importance ofinsurance in their life. However, there is a paradox in the form of a growing need to

    educate people to buy insurance.

    Today, natural disasters on a large scale occur regularly and even terrorism is increasingday by day. Specialized software is used in actuarial science to accurately predict lifeexpectancy and mortality. But natural disasters are difficult to predict.

    This has highlighted to the world that insurance is a basic and fundamental need for thesafety and security of the family. Only a larger insurance cover can guarantee a better

    future.

    However insurance claims for natural disasters are very low. This is because insurancecoverage was too low, and those who really needed insurance had not taken it. There isthe need to push insurance as a social responsibility for those who really need it.

    Business and Social Objectives

    When LIC was formed in 1956 through the amalgamation of 225 private companies, itsbusiness objectives complemented its social objectives. The main objective is to spreadlife insurance to every nook and corner of the country especially rural areas, to sociallyand economically backward classes and provide them reasonably priced financial coveragainst death.

    Other objectives include encouraging people to save for the future by making insurancelinked savings more attractive and secure. The funds created are then utilized and

    invested for nation building. The insurance business is conducted with the full realizationthat LIC is only a trustee of the insured public and priority is given to meet the needs thatarise due to change in the social and economic environments.

    Even today after 50 years, the core value of social commitment has not changed. Whathave changed in recent times are customers expectations and the environment in whichthe life insurance sector operates. This is due to globalization, which has opened up theinsurance sector to private.

    LIFE INSURANCE MARKET

    The Life Insurance market in India is an underdeveloped market that was only tapped by

    the state owned LIC till the entry of private insurers. The penetration of life insuranceproducts was 19 percent of the total 400 million of the insurable population

    The 12 private insurers in the life insurance market have already grabbed nearly 9 percent

    of the market in terms of premium income. The new business premiums of the 12 private

    players have tripled to Rs 1000 crore in 2002- 03 over last year. Meanwhile, state owned

    LIC's new premium business has fallen.

    Innovative products, smart marketing and aggressive distribution. Thats the triple

    whammy combination that has enabled fledgling private insurance companies to sign up

    Indian customers faster than anyone ever expected.

    The growing popularity of the private insurers shows in other ways. They are coining

    money in new niches that they have introduced. The state owned companies still

    dominate segments like endowments and money back policies. But in the annuity or

    pension products business, the private insurers have already wrested over 33 percent of

    the market. And in the popular unit-linked insurance schemes they have a virtual

    monopoly, with over 90 percent of the customers.

    The private insurers also seem to be scoring big in other ways- they are persuading

    people to take out bigger policies. For instance, the average size of a life insurance policy

    before privatization was around Rs 50,000. That has risen to about Rs 80,000. But the

    private insurers are ahead in this game and the average size of their policies is around Rs

    1.1 lakh to Rs 1.2 lakh- way bigger than the industry average.

    INSURANCE AND LIFE INSURERS

    There exists huge scope of investment in the insurance sector in India. India has

    an enormous middle-class that can afford to buy life, health and disability and pension

    plan products. Further, insurance is one of the most important tax saving instrument in

    the country.

    Insurance sector has been opened up for competition from Indian private insurance

    companies with the enactment of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act,

    1999 (IRDA Act). As per the provisions ofIRDA Act, 1999, Insurance Regulatory and

    Development Authority (IRDA) was established on 19th April 2000 to protect the

    interests of holder of insurance policy and to regulate, promote and ensure orderly growth

    of the insurance industry. IRDA Act 1999 paved the way for the entry of private players

    into the insurance market, which was hitherto the exclusive privilege of public sector

    insurance companies/ corporations. Under the new dispensation Indian insurance

    companies in private sector were permitted to operate in India on the fulfillment of

    certain prerequisites. A large number of public and private players are competing today inboth life and general insurance segments. The FDI cap/ Equity in the insurance sector is

    26 percent under the automatic route subject to licensing by the insurance regulatory and

    development authority.

    INSURANCE COMPANIES

    ATTRITION

    DEFINITION:

    Attrition may be defined as the members of employees leaving the organization, which

    includes voluntary and involuntary separation. It is the gradual reduction in membership

    or personnel as through retirement, resignation or death.

    Staff attrition and absenteeism represent significant costs to most organisations. Many

    organizations appear to accept them as part of the cost of doing business a sign of

    increasing mobility and decreasing staff loyalty perhaps, a matter to be regretted but just

    one of those things.

    However, it seems to be one of the area in which HR can make a difference

    and one that can be measured in quatifiable, financial terms against targets.

    HISTORY OF ATTRITION

    Attrition is not a new phenomenon. It has existed all along in the 1980s and early

    1990s people still believed in shibboleths like job for life , career within a company.

    But in the late 1990s the pendulum started to swing wildly. Corporate culture was on the

    cusp of major transformation. Employees got the defining message that no one is

    indispensable and doing a good job is not a protection enough. Employee retention was

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    73/102

    the last thing on radar screen of the companies. Somewhere along the way a tectonic shift

    happened in the minds of the employees.

    MAIN CAUSES OF ATTRITION

    1.)Job Satisfaction:

    Employees seek a job, which offers them stratosphere level of responsibility and high

    growth trajectory. If the organizations do not deliver on these expectations, employ

    exodus cannot be contained.

    2.)Salary and Perks:

    There may be any number of reasons as to why an employee leaves and one of the major

    facts is-the money. Now-a-days companies have started wooing the best of the talents

    with mind-boggling salary levels and attractive designations.

    3.)Work environment:

    An employee may leave an organization if the fairness of the system does not inspire

    his/her confidence. Organisations, which pay scant regards towards employee safety and

    care, will also have to face the mounting attrition levels.

    4.)Pressure of work:

    Companies in their zeal to squeeze out every little ounce of productivity from their

    employees and further increase profitability may opt for less number of employees. In

    such situation employees will be constrained to rethink their priorities and join an

    organization that promises a relaxed piece of work.

    5.)Relationship with supervisors and co-workers:

    If the supervisor lacks competence, empathy and trust in employees, they will fail to

    command the respect of the subordinates. Similarly lack of cordial relationship with co-

    workers also cause high rate of attrition.

    6.)Miscellaneous:

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    74/102

    In addition to all above factors some of the other causes of attrition can be Health

    condition of the person, Geographical location and Competency in the working

    environment.

    MEASURES TO COMBAT ATTRITION

    Low attrition results in the fewer day to day problems, lesser delays, greater flow of

    work, enhanced service delivery and a heightened strategic focus. Some of these

    measures are:

    1.)Strengthen the recruitment process:

    For an organization it is necessary to have a clear, accurate and a very transparent

    recruitment process. It is equally important to be frank and realistic with potential hires.

    2.)Making Induction program a pleasant experience:

    Companies should ensure that an employees first introduction with them is quite

    memorable and pleasant experience. It will make the new hire feel welcome and the

    employee stickiness factor with an organization will enhance.

    3.)Training and Development:

    Companies aiming at retaining employees should keep two key aspects in mind training

    should be highly relevant and should sufficiently broad based on the employees

    perspective and experience. Training should help employees acquire new skills in

    addition to replenishing their old skills.

    4.)Involving employees in the decision making process:

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    75/102

    Employees like to be a part of an organization where their voices are heard and opinions

    really matter. The greater an employees involvement in decision making process ,better

    is the organization ability to retain its talent.

    5.)Providing a balance between work and personal life:

    Achieving a good balance between work and personal life and responding to the needs

    and expectations of an employee play a very important role in employee retention.

    6.)Conducting employee satisfaction surveys:

    Companies should conduct employee satisfaction survey at periodical intervals. Such

    survey may throw up the potential flash points; so much so that an organization can

    galvanize itself into action and take remedial measures forthwith.

    7.)Making the organization very transparent:

    Employees are more comfortable working in a highly transparent organization where

    much of the details regarding its functioning, development and performance are freely

    available to the employee.

    8.)Motivating employees when and where required-

    Motivation should be provided to reward employees psychologically to a great extent

    and urge them to contribute in a better manner in future assignments.

    Thus, It has been found that retaining employees has always been fruitful

    across many industries rather than search for new and efficient talent. Companies need to

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    76/102

    identify the routes to ensure employees feel they are growing with the industry and are

    not being exploited for a few bucks.

    Tools used in ARLI to combat attrition-

    After the deep study on high rate of attrition in insurance sector it has been found that it is

    not the money alone that retains the employees .In ARLI Management believes in

    retaining employees through:

    1.) Secure careers.

    2.) Benefits.

    3.) Perks.

    4.) Transparent communication in the HR policies.

    ARLI believes that attrition battle could be won by focusing on retention, making the

    environment a fun place and providing career growth prospectus for employees.

    Here HR believes in treating the employees or the workforce as customers and

    maintaining a pleasant organization culture.

    Moreover here stress is given to recruit the right person for right job at the right time.

    BENEFITS OF ATTRITION:

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    77/102

    Attrition is not bad always if it happens in a controlled manner. Some attrition is always

    desirable and necessary for organizational growth and development. The only concern is

    how organizations differentiate good attrition from bad attrition. The term healthy

    attrition or good attrition signifies the importance of less productive employees

    voluntarily leaving the organization. This means if the ones who have left fall in the

    category of low performers, the attritionin considered being healthy.

    Attrition rates are considered to be beneficial in some ways:

    If all employees stay in the same organization for a very long time, most of them

    will be at the top of their pay scale which will result in excessive manpower costs.

    When certain employees leave, whose continuation of service would have

    negatively impacted productivity and profitability of the company, the company is

    benefited.

    New employees bring new ideas, approaches, abilities & attitudes which can keep

    the organization from becoming stagnant.

    There are also some people in the organization who have a negative and

    demoralizing influence on the work culture and team spirit. This, in the long-term,

    is detrimental to organizational health.

    Desirable attrition also includes termination of employees with whom the

    organization does not want to continue a relationship. It benefits the organization

    in the following ways:

    o It removes bottleneck in the progress of the company

  • 8/8/2019 Copy of Hdfc Final

    78/102

    o It creates space for the entry of new talents

    o It assists in evolving high performance teams

    There are people who are not able to balance their performance as per

    expectations, lack potential for future or need disciplinary action. Furthermore, as

    the rewards are limited, business pressures do not allow the management to over-

    reward the performers,
