    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    The study explores different employee recruitment and job performance appraisal

    procedures of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT) in Bangladesh. The research focuses

    on the employee views of employee recruitment and job performance appraisal procedure

    of the organization. The findings indicate that the HR practices valued by the employees,

    but it need to be better directed to protect employee benefits. The research recommends

    that organizations need to ensure the basic employment benefits and that those are not

    loss in the rush to introduce more complicated approaches to supervising employees.

    CHAPTER- 1: INTRODUCTION

    1.1. STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM

    When we think about the HR concept and successful HR practices in the organizations,

    two main aspects come to our mind. First one is employee recruitment. The terms

    successful recruitment are used with some vigor in business manuals, but how do we

    actually go about measuring whether a recruitment decision has been successful or not?

    Success can be measured in various ways, and it is important to consider our own

    business goals, culture and strategies when answering what success means to us! One of

    the easiest ways to measure success is to look at two statistics: the retention rate and the

    turnover rate. While these are both important, the third measurement of success is vital:

    how well does this person perform compared to the average employee?

    The retention and turnover statistics are quick and easy ways to report on staff

    movements within the organization. The turnover rate is calculated by looking at the

    number of people who have left the organization over a set period of time compared to

    the total employee numbers. For example, if I have 100 employees and during the last

    Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT)

    1

    2/25

    quarter 5 people have left the organization, then my turnover rate is 5% per quarter or

    (extrapolated) 20% per annum (Natasha Wainwright, 2008).

    The retention rate is a measure of how long a successful applicant stays with an

    organization. The relevant time frame must be relevant to the business: for example, a

    caf employing predominantly working-holiday visa holders can expect a low retention

    rate whereas a law firm would be interested in their new employees remaining with the

    company for many years. In terms of recruitment, a period of one year is a useful

    measure for most organizations. To calculate retention, compare the number of people

    hired in the last twelve months to the number of current employees who have twelve

    months or less service.

    An example of a retention calculation is as follows: Over the last twelve months, I have

    hired 30 new staff. Of my 100 current employees, 15 have 12 months or less service.

    Therefore, my retention rate is 50%. In other words, half of the people that I employ

    leave before twelve months! This is not a good indicator of successful recruitment.

    Looking at these two figures in tandem, it also becomes apparent that 15 of the 20

    employees who leave each year are my new employees that I have just spent time and

    money finding, hiring and training. If I assume that in my industry, the average turnoverrate is 20% than I should expect a retention rate of 80% or higher to indicate a successful

    recruitment decision.

    The third measure of successful recruitment looks at how the new employee actually

    performs. To measure this, identify one or more objective (measurable) aspects of the

    role, preferably ones which add to the bottom line of the business. In a call centre, this

    might be the average number of calls made per hour or in a retail environment the

    average value of a sale. Compare all your employees in this role, if there are only a few

    then look at historical figures to see what past employees were able to achieve. Once the

    average figure is known, it is easy to compare the new employees performance to that of

    the group. One word of warning!! New hires do need time to adjust to the work

    2

    3/25

    environment and get used to operating procedures, so begin to compare performance

    after training has finished, generally between one and three months into the new role

    (Natasha Wainwright, 2008).

    As we can see, this last measure is a vital one in determining recruitment success it is

    not good enough in todays environment to accept anyone who can do the basics of the

    job. To get ahead in business, everyone in the organization must be able to add to and

    improve the bottom line. But performance alone is not sufficient if those same people

    leave after 4 months and you must start the recruitment process again!

    Another important factor for the HR manger is performance appraisal system. Its very

    important for the HR manager to ensure successful HR practice within the organization.

    The main goal of an appraisal system is to produce an accurate, objective and fair picture

    of an employees performance. A formal performance appraisal program should include

    standardized, periodic evaluations that focus on the job related aspects of an employees

    performance. This is best accomplished when performance standards and objectives are

    mutually understood and agreed upon and when they are reasonably aligned with your

    businesss core competencies, values, overall mission and future business direction.

    Periodic evaluations provided by an effective appraisal system can help improveemployee morale, identify training and development needs and promote better

    communications between supervisors and employees. Everything from raises, career

    paths, training plans and departmental productivity are impacted by employee

    performance (Samaria Jones, 2008).

    The most important elements of performance appraisals are follow up and feedback. In

    fact, the number one thing employees complain about is the lack of feedback and

    communication from their managers, says Charles Ginn, Administaff director of

    Performance Improvement.

    Continued unsatisfactory employee performance is often the result of employers not

    providing effective feedback. According to business analysts, fifty percent of the time an

    Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT)

    3

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure

    4/25

    organization has non-performance issues, those issues can be linked not to motivational

    concerns, but to feedback issues. Feedback is essential (Samaria Jones, 2008).

    So, it is obvious that employee recruiting policy and job performance analysis procedure

    is very important for the prospect of any type of organizations. Its mandatory for Banks,

    Telecommunication companies, insurance companies or even educational or training

    institute. The concept of educational or training institute is still new in Bangladesh.

    Generally these types of organizations were introduced in the mid 1990s to provide

    assistance to the students for their higher education in the foreign countries known as

    consultancy firm (Daily Prothom Alo, 2007). Their services included chose of course,

    country and universities, issue of offer letter and so on. As a result very soon these types

    of organizations obtained popularity among the general people of Bangladesh. Thereasons were very simple. Previously students had to do all the activities by themselves to

    go for the higher education in abroad. So, the introduction of educational or training

    institute came as a solution for the people of Bangladesh for the foreign affairs.

    The organizations those came in the mid of 1990 known as consultancy firm have the

    same popularity in Bangladesh in the recent time. Now, firms are providing more

    opportunities for the students and professionals in terms of choosing desired course,

    country, job opportunities and so on. Lots of firms are teaching IELTS, TOEFL, GRE,

    GMAT etc courses which are required to get admission in foreign universities. Moreover,

    lots of firms are giving training on various computer programs and language skills to

    make more competitive personnel not only for abroad also for home country too.

    Again, in terms of proving the knowledge of Computer lots of firms, known as

    educational firm or institute have been working in Bangladesh for such a long time to

    introduce the concept of computer and its various applications. Now, people can easily

    understand the fundamental concepts of computer and its various usages. But we cant

    think its availability in the mid 1990s. So, no doubt about that the consultancy and

    Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT)

    4

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure

    5/25

    educational firms have great significance in the foreign and computer education sector of

    Bangladesh, S.S. Information Technology (SSIT) is one of those.

    1.2. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    The major objective of the study is to assess the performance analysis of S.S. Information

    Technology (SSIT) in terms of employee recruitment and job performance analysis of

    employees. The specific objectives of the study are:

    (1) To present an overview of how SSIT recruits employee in their organization;

    (2) To present how SSIT does the job performance analysis of the employees;

    (3) To investigate what employees think of different criteria of SSIT and

    (4) To investigate what is the prospect of SSIT in the future.

    1.3. METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY

    In this paper, the following methods are used:

    (a) Nature of Data:

    The nature of the data is primary as I have conducted interview personally with all the 20

    employees of various departments of the organization, S.S. Information Technology

    (SSIT).A set of questionnaires (Exhibit-1) was also provided to the employees.

    (b) Sources of Data:

    Research was undertaken among the staff of S.S. Information Technology (SSIT).

    Questionnaires were administrated to all the 20 employees of various departments of the

    organization. Information was sought on a wide range of issues including recruitment

    5

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure

    6/25

    policy, job performance procedure, satisfaction with HR practices, attitude to leadership

    practices and satisfaction with various aspects of work. In addition to questionnaire

    survey, interviews were conducted with key informants such as HR manager, IT manager

    and course coordinator as well.

    (c) Period under Consideration:

    I have considered the information provided by the employees of the S.S. Information

    Technology (SSIT) who are there in the organization at least for 1 year. And most of

    the employees are in the organization for more than 3 years. So, the information what

    they have given to me were conducted over their last 3 years experiences of working

    in S.S. Information Technology (SSIT).

    (d) Nature of Analysis:

    I have done analysis over the answers given by the employees of S.S. Information

    Technology (SSIT) regarding the oral interview and questionnaires that were

    provided to them.

    .

    1.4. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    The main scope of the study is that it gave the opportunity to see and measure how the

    theories of Human Resources Planning ad staffing are applied in the real world. In fact

    it is a scope to test our ability to apply our knowledge in the real world to get a better

    understanding of how the organizations work on the HR issues in respect to the employee

    rights and their financial aspects.

    As I carried along with the project I found it is very difficult to accomplish the whole

    report in a very limited time. An approximated time of at least three hours a week, was

    required to finish the analysis on time.

    are not many IT educational institutes in our country with strong capabilities to make

    skilled IT professionals. Therefore, the idea to set up a good IT institute dedicated to

    prepare skilled IT professionals for local and international job market crossed his mind.

    After extensively studying the problems and the prospects of local IT institutes, heunderstood the gaps between the dreams and realities in our IT training sector. In the light

    of his findings and in pursuit of his dream to establish a class training institute in the

    country, he set up S.S. Information Technology (SSIT) with state-of-the-art labs, and

    experienced and efficient faculty, offering effective training programs at competitive

    fees (www.sssitbd.com).

    business in the textile field in 1973. The Chairman of S.S. Group is one of the first to

    introduce cotton print saris in Bangladesh establishing a brand name SAHANA

    2.3 HRM CONCEPT IN BANGLADESH

    In last 10 years, a vast amount of effort has been expended on exploring the relationship

    between HRM and employee performance. The results of the effort are mixed and arecent review suggests that the Holy Grail of decisive proof remains elusive (Boselie

    et al., 2005: p82).

    While there is now a good deal of information on the causes and consequences of, and

    strategies for, employee recruitment, performance analysis and employee benefits. The

    wider commitment literature has revealed that behavioral outcomes of affective

    commitment in particular include absenteeism, turnover intention, job performance and

    organizational behavior (Mayer and Allen, 1997).

    But, the concept of HRM is not new in the corporate level of Bangladesh. The concept of

    HRM had been introduced in Bangladesh in the early 1990s.All the credit goes to the

    foreign multi-national companies for introducing the HRM concept in corporate level,

    such as Standard Chartered Bank, American Express Bank, Transcom Ltd, Grameen

    Phone, Citycell etc. After that some Bangladeshi local companies have introduced the

    concept of HRM in the corporate level, such as Bashundhara Group, Square Group,

    Partex Group and Globe Shilpa Paribar. Now a days HRM is introduced in the most of

    the private entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.

    But still the concept of HRM is new for the consultancy and educational firms. But its

    good news that some of these type organizations are introducing the concept of HRM,

    SSIT is one of them.

    2.4 HRM CONCEPT IN SSIT

    HR policy of SSIT is fully performance based. Job description is defined to the

    employees at the very beginning. Moreover, corporate goals, department goals,employees goals are very much correspond to each other. Mission and vision are set

    according to the goals of the organization by the HR department. For example- SSIT

    wants to be the leading consultancy firm in Bangladesh within 5 years. For this they have

    placed the best consulting executives from the different leading consultancy firms and

    educational institutes of Bangladesh, like- Bhuiya, BSB, ABEC, Saifurs etc into its

    various departments.

    Performance criterion is the other aspect of HR policy of SSIT. Performance evaluation is

    the key factor of that aspect. This is the HR policies of SSIT which are implemented in

    the organization. In order to ensure the quality SSIT does the following things-Teaching

    Evaluation (TE), Service Evaluation Form (SEF), Internal Inspection Report (IIR),

    Monthly Staff Meeting Research and Development Cell (R&D), Performance Appraisal

    Rating (PAR), Hotline, Monitoring by Course Coordinator, Complain & Suggestion

    Desk.

    Employee recruiting policy of SSIT is the typical traditional approach. Employees are

    recruited through oral interviews. In SSIT Bachelor degree is must for recruiting any

    employee in any posts. In order to recruit in senior marketing and administrative posts at

    least Bachelor degree is required for the employees with at least 5 years of experience.

    But in the junior marketing post experience is not must but educational qualification is at

    least Bachelor degree.

    Service rules can be defined as the code of conduct predetermined by the authority of any

    corporation. Like any other corporation SSIT has also some distinctive service rules fixed

    by the HR of the organization. Some of them are as follows-Honesty and Integrity,

    Disciplined, Punctuality and Personality, Hard Worker, Friendly Attitude towards the

    Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT)

    12

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure

    13/25

    Client and Colleague, Team Player, Decent, Proactive, Devoted & so on (Appointment

    Letter of SSIT, 2007).

    SSIT uses the performance evaluation of the employees for the performance appraisal

    procedure. Here it uses Performance Appraisal Rating (PAR) for the performance

    appraisal procedure. For example- the rating system that the SSIT uses is defined into

    this- +4=Excellent, +3=Very Good, +2=Good, +1=Average,-1=Poor,-2=Very Poor;

    marking system according to the job performance of the employees. According to this

    marking system promotion, increase of salary depends on.

    The marking procedure is based on the performance evaluation by the HR manager and

    the fellow colleagues as well for every single employee. Rating system of evaluation

    procedure is done in every month and 4 months performance ratings are taken into

    notice for making any decision by the authority.

    In order to retain the employees SSIT has the retention plan. They have the regular

    retention criteria, like- one gross salary, two festival bonuses, and medical allowances

    etc. But most important factor is that they dont have the performance bonus and

    retention bonus for the employees.

    SSIT has the development program for the human resources of the organization. They

    have the traditional employee development program for the employees by the HR as well

    as the higher training program for the faculties by the course coordinator himself

    regarding their improvement.

    CHAPTER- 3 : FINDINGS & ANALYSIS

    Though SSIT is providing very distinctive facilities to employees but it cant stop the

    employees to become dissatisfied. After taking interview with all the employees of SSITand analyzing the questionnaires filled up by the employees, some problems have

    identified.

    3.1. HIGHLY CENTRALIZED ORGANIZATION

    A highly centralized organization (Exhibit-2) structure enabled SSITs strategy. Product

    division was the fundamental business unit and its general managers were authorized to

    make decision for their business. As a way, the employees felt degraded the solidarity of

    the company about acquisition, consolidation and outsourcing. This has shifted SSITs

    environment from its traditional ways by changing the process of teamwork.

    3.2. UNSATISFACTORY RATING SYSTEM

    Employees are unsatisfied with the rating system. One main reason is that the rating

    system procedure which is filled up by the office colleagues about job performance.

    Though the rating system is checked by the HR manager but it cant be 100% accurate.

    There is a higher chance that employees might miss use of that rating system against any

    employee whom he or she doesnt like at all. And employees dont get the chance to see

    what rating has he or she got from the other employees.

    3.3. INTERNAL PROBLEMS

    SSITs policy to self-financing policy was intended to supports its human resource

    philosophy and policies particularly employment security. In SSIT, employees never

    fired for poor performance or never laid-off even its profits suffered in an economic

    Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure of S.S.Information Technology (SSIT)

    14

  • 7/29/2019 Employee Recruitment and Job Performance Appraisal Procedure

    15/25

    downturn. Its commitment to its employees also led SSIT to avoid contract business. But

    in 2008, SSIT face severe challenged due to some political changes in Bangladesh. A

    downturn in this industry led SSIT to changes its management policies; the most

    important change was in SSITs employment security policies. To reduce cost and avoid

    layoffs SSIT decided not to give any performance bonus and retention bonus. The

    employees were emotionally shaken by these policies of SSIT. Due to these policies

    employees started to feel that they are loosing job security.

    The activities of SSIT employees were guided by the HR manager. But no executive is

    allowed to give any decision, no matter how smart or able that executive may be.

    Employees are asked to support what the management decides. Though SSIT believes in

    employees equality, in practical scenario such practice is not found.

    Employees have problem with payment system of salary also. The salary is provided to

    the employee in 2nd week of the month. As a result it hampers the financial activities of

    the employees to run their family.

    There is no prescribed career development or progression in SSIT. They rank their

    employees based on a sustained contribution, sudden dramatic changes in performance

    position was very rare. The employees of SSIT must go through a defined process in

    which they dont have a lot of flexibility. If any employee does something in his own

    style other employees dont appreciate it.

    Hiring in SSIT is conducted by traditional multiple interviewing processes in which

    applicants are asked what knowledge they have rather than how they would approach a

    problem. Testing is rare and limited to specialized skill test to a particular position.

    Previously, in every morning and afternoon all employees were provided coffee or tea

    and cake or biscuits in the break times. But currently those facilities are not provided. As

    a result social bonding is not growing between the employees of SSIT.

    CHAPTER- 4 : RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSION

    The goal of SSIT in Bangladesh is very much comprehensible and pragmatic. The reason

    of saying this is that the sector of educational or professional consultancy firm inBangladesh is expanding day by day and the numbers of existing customers are also

    increasing rapidly. So, it is very much precise that SSIT has a bright prospect in the

    upcoming years in Bangladesh.
