EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Human capital is possibly the most vital, yet overlooked, means of establishing competitive

advantage for companies today. Business periodical have featured the “global war for talent,

the need for better ways to encourage innovation, the complexities posed by the maturing

workforce, or the preparedness of the talent pipeline. Human resources leaders should not be

satisfied with simply demonstrating the efficient use of human capital and begin to work on

empirically demonstrating how talent drives the performance of their organization.

Human Resource Management brings out the important values of trust, care, teamwork,

encouragement and development which help the organization meet the principle of being a

good employer and thereby motivating staff to give their best.

Human Resources departments are transforming as the modern business faces numerous and

complex challenges, and exploit opportunities. The transformation of human resources today

is a direct call of the rapid changes within businesses due to factors such as globalization. In

the global competition within the flat and connected new world, decision making in

organizations has become increasingly intricate and convoluted. The new global world has

widened the talent pool for excellent and marginal workers, and for permanent and fluid

workers.

An organization‘s talent can be a source for a sustained competitive advantage and can affect

important organizational outcomes such as survival, profitability, customer satisfaction level,

and employee performance (Pfeffer, 1994; Prahalad, 1983). Human resources need to take

advantage of technology and data analytics to build a global human resource information

system that collects and stores data from various sources. The system will help to analyze the

data to provide business insights, predict future needs and develop strategies to fill those

needs. Companies with the ability to foresee and sustainably manage their workforce needs

especially for high skills – will gain the decisive competitive advantage.

SELECTION

Selection is a process starts with gathering information from a candidate’s application and

ends up with selecting him for a particular position of an organization.

Selection criteria at Beximco: To select the appropriate candidate is very important because

more attention is paid to the costs of poor selection. The selection decision has always been

important as the way for a company to obtain the human resource that is appropriate for the

job and company. Beximco created selection criteria to make the selection procedure easier.

Developing good selection criteria is a very useful technique for outlining the particular

needs of department for a particular position. This process makes the selection procedure

much easier, Specific, straight forwarder and less subjective. The three standards followed in

Beximco are explained below -

Job Relatedness: Job relatedness means that every standard must be specifically

connected to the work to be performed on the job. All qualifications used to screen

applicants in the hiring process are directly related to the job being filled. If, for example,

there is a requirement for a bachelor's degree, that standard is shown directly related to

the position. A candidate with a Ph.D. (in a field not directly related to the position being

filled) would not be more qualified than an applicant with a bachelor degree in a related

field. If specific knowledge of budget procedures is given as a requirement, the position

must require the application or use of that knowledge.

Job Measurability: Minimum qualifications and selection criteria is always measurable

and demonstrable. That means they can be measured objectively or clearly demonstrated

by the applicant or the applicant's past history. If a selection criterion called for maturity

or attitude, there might be many interpretations of what those standards mean. Therefore

Page 26: Hrm 410 term paper

TERM PAPER ON HR PRACTICES & POLICES OF BEXIMCO PHARMACEUTICAL LIMITED

TERM PAPER ON HR PRACTICES & POLICY Page 26

it would be very difficult to measure the applicant against those vague criteria. A standard

such as demonstrated ability to work effectively with supervisors, peers, subordinates,

would much more closely fit the requirement of measurability and demonstrability.

Demonstration of this agility is verified through references, letters of recommendation,

and checks with previous employers. Even a criterion such as "good typist" is not as

easily measurable as ability to type 60 words a minute with only three errors.

Successful Completion of Work: Criteria listed as minimum qualifications or selection

criteria must be necessary to perform the work successfully. If a bachelor's degree is

given as a requirement for the job, but it cannot be demonstrated that the actual degree is

necessary for the performance of the job, then a criterion like bachelor's degree or

equivalent" is used instead. Relevance and quality of education may be considered in the

selection process but must be shown to be necessary for the particular job at hand.

SELECTION TOOLS

The Chief Executive Officer has sole authority for any selection without any competitive

examination. Otherwise the following process is used for employee selection by Beximco.

Written Test: Written Test is only applicable for junior management and non

managerial contractual positions. In exceptional cases where specific knowledge and

skill areas are needed to be identified and interview is not sufficient enough to deal

with, written test is applied as selection tools.

IQ Test: IQ Test is applicable for all junior management and non managerial

contractual positions. Human Resource Department is solely authorized and

responsible for selecting the question patterns, venue and time of examination.

Interview: Following the standard of interview process for senior management, mid -

level, junior management, managerial contractual & unionized employees. These are -

1) For senior management interview is conducted in three phases, before

offering employment it requires approval of managing director. The

interview board consisting of senior officials of company, one member of

board of director and representatives from outside.

2) For mid - level management interview conducted in two phases. In first

phase of interview is conducted by mid - level executive from HR and a

senior executive from concerned department. In 2nd & final phase, interview

PERFORMANCE APPRIASALS

Performance appraisal is the process of assessing employee’s past performance, primarily for

reward, promotion and staff development purposes. Performance appraisal is a process that

identifies, evaluates and develops employee performance to meet employee and

organizational goals. Performance Appraisal doesn’t 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.

Beximco Pharma maintained some rules & regulation regarding their compensation

dimensions. These are –

Name Explanation

Pay for work & performance Beximco generally pay their work &

performance. As good as work as good are

their benefits. Payments for work &

performance the disbursements of money

within a short term period – weekly, month,

bonus or annual awards.

Pay for time not worked Beximco give salary to employee for not

work these are – marriage leave, maternity

leave, funeral leave.

Loss of job continuation Job security has always been an important

aspect of employment. Employees need to be

assured of their job and economic security.

Accidents, personal problems, work

performances are some of the reasons that

will cause a temporary cessation of

employment or a permanent termination.

Disability Income Continuation When an employee suffers from a disability

due to an illness or accident, he is unable to

execute his tasks effectively. In addition to

paying for daily living expenses, the

employee also has to pay for the hospital

bills. Employee compensation, in the form of

medical leave and short-term and long-term

disability plans, exists to assist an employee

who is incapable of working due to poor

health

Deferred Income Most employees depend on programmed

Page 37: Hrm 410 term paper

TERM PAPER ON HR PRACTICES & POLICES OF BEXIMCO PHARMACEUTICAL LIMITED

TERM PAPER ON HR PRACTICES & POLICY Page 37

provided by their employers to ensure a

continuous income after retirement. There are

two main reasons why such programmed

exist. First, most people do not have enough

savings upon retirement to enable them to

continue enjoying the comfortable lifestyle

they were accustomed to when they were

working. Therefore, programmed like the

retirement allocation planning programmed,

savings and thrifty plans, annuities and

additional income plans are drawn up by

organizations to provide employees an

ongoing income after their retirement.

Secondly, the laws and tax regulations make

the deferred income plans more attractive to

the employees.

Health, Accident and Liability Protection Apart from income to sustain a comfortable

lifestyle, income for products and services to

heal an illness or disability is also of great

concern to employees. Beximco offers

various insurance plans to assist in paying for

their medical.

Income Equivalent Payments Income equivalent payments are also known

as perquisites or perks. Some of these special

benefits are exempted from tax, and this is

advantageous for employers and employees.

Examples of special benefits are provision of

credit cards, allowance to attend official

meetings, subsidized food and childcare

services.

EMPLOYEE RELATION

Employment relation is a relationship founded as a contract of employment. The employment

relationship is a legal notion widely used in countries around the world to refer to the

relationship between a person called an employee and an employer, for which the employee

performs work under certain conditions in return for remuneration. It is through the

employment relationship, however defined, that reciprocal rights and obligations are created

between the employee and the employer.

The employment relationship has been continued to be, the main vehicle through which

workers gain access to the rights and benefits associated with employment in the areas of

labour law and social security. It is the key point of reference for determining the nature and

extent of employer’s rights and obligations towards their workers. This is an underlying

philosophy, along with necessary attitudes and skills, rather than a specific management

function or well-defined activity. We can find here information on employee and industrial

relations, conflict and mediation, industrial action and strikes, trade unions, trade union

recognition and negotiation, collective bargaining and whistle blowing.

BEXIMCO helps its employees better relationship themselves by providing feedback about

the particular employees past performance. They keep a fluent relationship with their

employees by appraising performance which is comparing actually result with one desired

outcome. BEXIMCO basically has its great intension to keep the relationship by evaluating

on the basis of performance appraisal. BEXIMCO”s manager of an employee's respective

functional area will play a key role in this and it depends on the employee developing their

careers. BEXIMCO is committed in creating an environment where employees at all levels

feel that they can speak honestly about the company and issues important to them.
