HERO CYCLES LIMITED

The Beginning

We look over our shoulders, we see the past. We use it to make a better present and a beautiful tomorrow, as tomorrow isn’t just another day, it’s another chance for us to better ourselves and to excel. Hero Cycles is a product of this philosophy. The philosophy that instills commitment, team work and foresight. Hero’s colossal journey started before independence. The four Munjal brothers, hailing from a small town called Kamalia, now in Pakistan, are the men who are behind the mission. Brotherhood apart, what knit the men together was the wealth of will, integrity, ambition & determination. In the year 1944, they decided to start a business of bicycle spare parts in Amritsar. It is modest beginning and the next 3 years saw the business grow rapidly. But the dark clouds of partition eclipsed their plans of the future. With renewed vigour and optimism, the operational base was shifted to Ludhiana. By 1956, the brothers had began manufacturing key components of bicycles and as a logical way forward, began to assemble the entire cycle at their manufacturing plant in Ludhiana. In the early days, the plant had a capacity for 25 cycles per day. Over the next few years, the Bicycle Unit started growing in stature and size, attracting skilled engineers, technocrats, administrators and entrepreneurs. From a modest beginning of mere 639 bicycles in the year 1956, Hero Cycles products over 18500 cycles a day today, the highest in global reckoning. With the 48% share of the Indian market, this volume has catapulted Hero in the ‘Guinness Books of World Records’ in 1986 and edge over global players is being maintained since then. A tiny acorn has now become a mighty Oak. From cycle to two - wheeler was a natural step, and the Hero Group came into being. The Hero Group, today, is a vast conglomerate of companies, either in the form of collaborations, joint ventures or fully owned subsidiaries, with more than Rs. 10000 Crore turnover annually. Hero Group, besides being the world’s largest manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles and chains to this date, has diversified into newer segments like Information Technology, IT Enabled Services and Financial Services.

GROUP THE HERO

The Hero Group has done business differently right from the inception and that is what has helped us to achieve break-through in whatever product category we have ventured. The Group’s low key, but focused, style of management has earned the plaudits amidst investors, employees, vendors and dealers, as also worldwide recognition.

The growth of the Group through the years has been influenced by the number of factor:

The Hero Group through the Hero Cycles Division was the first to introduce the concept of just-in-time inventory. The Group boasts of superb operational efficiencies. Every assembly line worker operates two

machines simultaneously to save time and improve productivity. The fact that most of the machines are either developed or fabricated in-house has resulted in low inventory levels.

In Hero cycles Limited, the just-in-time inventory principle has been working since the beginning of production in the limit in the unit and is functional even till date. The vendors bring in the raw material and by the end of the day the finished product is rolled out of the factory. This is the Japanese style of production and in India; Hero is the first company to have mastered the art of the just-in-time inventory principle

Hero Group ranks amongst the Top 10 Indian Business Houses comprising 18 companies, with an estimated turnover of US$1.8 billion during the fiscal year 2003-2004.

GLOBAL GEARING: EXPORTS

As early as in the 1960s' very few Indian bicycle manufacturers were interested in exports. However, the Hero Group's foray into the overseas markets in 1963 pioneered Indian exports in the bicycle segment. It was a move prompted essentially by the need to remain attuned to the global market place. While initial exports were restricted to Africa and the Middle East, today more than 50 percent of the exports from Hero Cycles Limited meet the demands of sophisticated markets in Europe and America. This is primarily because of appropriate product development and excellent quality that Hero offers.

The Group has been continuously upgrading technology and has set up special units - like Gujarat Cycles Limited (now Munjal Auto Industries Limited), to meet international quality standards. Munjal Auto Industries Limited has state-of-the-art equipments imported from Europe and Taiwan. The unit is designed to match international standards and is an Export Oriented Unit (EOU). Its products are supplied to the International Markets of developed countries like United Kingdom, Germany, and France etc.

The Group's exports have gone beyond cycles and their components. The success of the Hero Majestic moped did not remain confined to Indian shores. Finding enthusiastic buyers across the world, it became the largest exported moped from India.

Hero Puch is perhaps the first Indian two-wheeler to be homologated abroad (in Spain) and has assembly plants in Mauritius and Egypt. Today Hero Puch mini-motorcycles can also be seen in Paraguay, Mexico, Argentina, Turkey and Holland.

Group Company, Munjal Showa Limited is one of the largest suppliers of shock absorbers to major auto giants in Japan, United States and the United Kingdom, amongst other developed markets.

In 1993 Hero Exports was established as the International Trading Division for Group and non-Group products. The Government of India recognizes Hero Exports as a Trading House.

And the latest diversification for the Group in the export market is in the area of Software exports and providing Business Processing and Contact Centre Services through Hero Corporate Service limited. The company exports services to many Fortune 1000 corporations in the USA, UK and Australia and has offices in UK & USA to manage client relationships.

INTRODUCTION

TO THE PROJECT

Introduction to HRM

Employees are the Human Resources, as opposed to capital and equipment resources, in a company. Human Resources (HR) departments are responsible for all polices and activities that impact employees. The HR department is a crucial area of business success, as talented employees are a company's most important asset and greatest competitive advantage.

Human resource plays a crucial role in the development process of modern economics. Arthur Lewis observed,” there are great difference in developing between countries which seem to have roughly equal resources, so it is necessary to enquire into the different in human behavior”. It is often felt that though the exploitation of natural resources, availability of physical and financial and international aid play prominent roles in the growth of modern economies, none of these factors are more significant than efficient and committed man power. It is in fact said that all developments from the human mind.

Recruitment and Selection

RECRUITMENT

MEANING:

Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. When more persons apply for jobs then there will be a scope for recruiting better persons. The job seekers too, on the other hand, are in search of organisations offering them employment. Recruitment is a linkage activity bringing together those with jobs and those seeking jobs.

In this, the available vacancies are given wide publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection. In recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisements, employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc. are used. In the recruitment, a pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees.

Definition:

According to Edwin flippo, “Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.”

Need for Recruitment:

The need for recruitment may be due to the following reasons/ situation:

• Vacancies due to promotions, transfer, retirement, termination, permanent disability, death and labor turnover.

• Creation of new vacancies due to the growth, expansion and diversification of business activities of an enterprise. In addition, new vacancies are possible due to job satisfaction

Purpose and Importance of Recruitment

• Determine the present and future requirements of the organization on conjunction with its personnel planning and job analysis activities.

• Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.

• Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave the organization only after a short period of time.

• Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of visibility under qualified or overqualified job applicants.

• Meet the organization legal and social obligations regarding the composition of its work force.

• Begin identifying and preparing potential job applicants who will be appropriate candidates.

• Increase organizational and individual effectiveness in the short term and long term.

Recruitment is a positive function in which publicity is given to the jobs available in the organization and interested candidates are encouraged to submit applications for the purpose of selection. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is through recruitment that many individuals will come to know a company, and eventually decided whether they wish to work for it. A well- planned and well- managed recruiting effort will result in high quality applicants, whereas, a haphazard and piecemeal efforts will result in mediocre ones.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT

SOURCES OF MANAGERIAL RECRUITMENT

INTERNAL SOURCES EXTERNAL SOURCES

• Promotion 1) Campus recruitment

• Transfers 2) Press advertisement

• Internal notification 3) Management consultancy services

• Retirement 4) Deputation of personnel

• Recall 5) Management training scheme

• Former employees 6) Walk-ins, write-ins, talk- ins

• Miscellaneous external sources

The sources of recruitment can be broadly categorized into internal and external sources:-

• Internal Recruitment- Internal recruitment seeks applicants for positions from within the company. The various internal sources include :-

• Promotions and Transfers -

Promotion is an effective means using job posting and personnel records. Job posting requires notifying vacant positions by posting notices, circulating publications or announcing at staff meetings and inviting employees to apply. Personnel records help discover employees who are doing jobs below their educational qualifications or skill levels. Promotions has many advantages like it is good public relations, builds morale, encourages competent individuals who are ambitious, improve the probability of good selection since information on the individual’s performance is readily available, is cheaper than going outside to recruit, those chosen internally are familiar with the organization thus reducing the orientation time and energy and also act as a training device for developing middle- level and top-level managers. However, promotions restrict the field of selection preventing fresh blood & ideas from entering the organization. It also leads to inbreeding in the organization. Transfers are also important in providing employees with a broad- based view of the organization, necessary for future promotions.

• Employee referrals –

Employee can develop good prospects for their families and friends by acquainting them with the advantages of a job with the company, furnishing them with introduction and encouraging them to apply. This is a very effective means as many qualified people can be reached at a very low cost to the

company. The other advantage is that the employees would bring only those referrals that they feel would be able to fit in the organization based on their own experience. The organization can be assured of the reliability and the character of the referrals. In this way, the organization can also fulfill social obligations and create goodwill.

• Former employees –

These include retired employees who are willing to work on a part- time basis, individuals who left work and are willing to come back for higher compensations. Even retrenched employees are taken up once again. The advantage here is that the people are already known to the organization and there is no need to find out their past performance and character. Also, there is no need of an orientation program me for them, since they are familiar with the organization.

• Dependents of deceased employees -

Usually, banks follow this policy. If an employee dies, his/ her spouse or son or daughter is recruited in their place. This is usually an effective way to fulfill social obligation and create goodwill.

• Recalls –

When management faces a problem, which can be solved only by a manager who has proceeded on long leave, it may be decided to recall that persons after the problem is solved, his leave may be extended.

• Retirements –

At times, management may not find suitable candidates in place of the one who had retired, after meritorious service. Under the circumstances, management may decide to call retired managers with new extension.

• Internal notification (advertisement) –

Sometimes, management issues an internal notification for the benefit of existing employees. Most employees know from their own experience about the requirement of the job and what sort of person the company is looking for.

MERITS OF INTERNAL SOURCES:

1. The internal source of recruitment will boost morale of employees. They are assured of higher positions whenever vacancies arise.

2. The management is in a better position to evaluate the performance of existing employees before considering them for higher positions. The service records of existing employees will be a guide to study their suitability for ensuring vacancies.

3. The method of internal recruitment is economical. The cost incurred in selecting a person is saved. It also promotes loyalty among employees. They are preferred to consider at the time of filling up higher positions. They will feel a part and parcel of the organization and will always try to promote its interests.

4. This method can be used to motivate employees. It also ensures stability of employees. Moreover, this source of recruitment has the support of trade unions also.

DEMERITS OF Internal SOURCES:

1. The internal sources often lead to inbreeding and discourage new blood from entering into the organisation.

2. Since the learner does not know more than the trainer, no innovations worth the name can be made. Therefore, on jobs which require original thinking, this practice is not followed.

3. The likes and dislikes ant the personal biases of the management may also play an important role in the selection of the personnel. External Recruitment:

External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from sources outside the company.

Every enterprise has to use external sources for recruitment to higher positions when existing employees are not suitable. More persons are needed when expansions are undertaken. External methods are discussed as follows:

• Advertisements:-

It is a popular method of seeking recruits, as many recruiters prefer advertisements because of their wide reach. Want ads describe the job benefits, identify the employer and tell those interested how to apply. Newspaper is the most common medium but for highly specialized recruits, advertisements may be placed in professional or business journals. Advertisement must contain proper information like the job content, working conditions, location of jobs, compensation including fringe benefits, job specifications, growth aspects, etc. The advertisement has to sell the idea that the company and job are perfect for the candidates. It also cost effective.

• Employment Exchanges:-

Employment exchanges have been set up all over the country in deference to the provisions of the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959. The act applies to all industrial establishments having 25 workers or more each. The Act requires all the industrial establishments to notify the vacancies before they are filled. The major functions of the exchanges are to increase the pool of possible applicants and to do the preliminary screening.

• Campus Recruitments:-

Colleges, universities, research laboratories, sports fields and institutes are fertile ground for recruiters, particularly the institutes. Some companies recruit a given number of candidates from these institutes every year. Campus recruitment is so much sought after that each college; university department or institute will have a placement officer to handle recruitment functions. However, it is often an expensive process, even if recruiting process produces job offers and acceptances eventually. A majority leave the organization within the first five years of their employment. Yet, it is a major source of recruitment for prestigious companies.

• Walk-ins, Write- ins and Talk- ins -

The most common and least expensive approach for candidates is direct applications, in which job seekers submit unsolicited application letters or resumes. Direct applications can also provide a pool of potential employees to meet future needs. From employee’s viewpoint, walk- INS is preferable as they are free from the hassles associated with other methods of recruitment. Write- INS is those who send written enquiries. These jobseekers are asked to complete application forms for further processing. Talk- INS involves the job aspirants application is required to be submitted to the recruiter.

• Contractors:-

They are used to recruit casual workers. The names of the workers are not entered in the company records and, to this extent; difficulties experienced in maintaining permanent workers are avoided.

• Consultants:-

They are in the profession for recruiting and selecting managerial and executive personnel. They are useful as they have nationwide contacts and lend professionalism to the hiring process. They also keep prospective employer and employee anonymous. However, the cost can be a deterrent factor.

• Head Hunters:-

They are useful in specialized and skilled candidate working in a particular company. An agent is sent to represent the recruiting company and offer is made to the candidate. This is a useful source when both the companies involved are in the same field.

• Competitors:-

This method is popularly known as “poaching” or “raiding” which involves identifying the right people in rival companies, offering them better terms and luring them away. For instance, several executives of

HMT left to join Titan Watch Company. There are legal and ethical issues involved in raiding rival firms for potential candidates. From the legal point of view, an employee is expected to join a new organization only after obtaining a ‘no objection certificate’ from his/ her present employer.

• Mergers and Acquisitions:-

When organizations combine, they have a pool of employees, out of whom some may not be necessary any longer. As a result, the new organization has, in effect, a pool of qualified job applicants. As a result, new jobs may be created. Both new and old jobs may be readily staffed by drawing the best qualified applicants from this employee pool. This method facilitates the immediate implementation of an organization strategic plan. It enables an organization to pursue a business plan.

MERITS OF EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT:

1. The suitable candidates with skill, talent, knowledge are available from external sources.

2. It will help in bringing new ideas, better techniques and improved methods to the organisation.

3. The existing employees will also broaden their personality.

4. The entry of qualitative persons from outside will be in the interest of the organisation in the long run.

DEMERITS OF EXTERNAL RECRUITMENT:

1. It is more expansive and time consuming to recruit people from outside. Detailed screening is necessary as very little is known about the candidate.

2. The employee being unfamiliar with the organisation, their orientation and training is necessary.

3. If higher level jobs are filled from external sources, motivation and loyalty of existing staff are affected.

SELECTION

MEANING:

To select is to choose. Selection is the process of picking up individuals (out of pool of job applicants) with requisite qualification and competence to fill jobs in the organisation.

DEFINITON:

According to DALE YODER, “Selection is the process in which candidates for employment are divided into two classes - those who are to be offered employment and those who are not.”

SELECTION PROCESS:

The selection procedure consists of a series of steps. Each step must be successfully cleared before the applicant proceeds to the next. The selection process is a series of successive hurdles or barriers which an applicant must cross. These hurdles are designed to eliminate an unqualified candidate at any point in the selection process. Thus, this technique is called “SUCCESSIVE HURDLES TECHNIQUE” .Selection procedure for the senior managers will be long drawn and rigorous, but it is simple and short while hiring lower level employees. Steps involved in employee selection are explained in detail as follows:

1. External and internal environment:

Selection is influenced by several external and internal environmental factors. The important external factors affecting selection are supply and demand of specific skills in the labour market, unemployment rate, labour market conditions, legal and political considerations etc. The internal factors are organisation’s image, organisation’s policy, human resource planning and cost of hiring.

2.Reception:

The receipt and scrutiny of applications is the first step in the process of selection. A receptionist in the personnel department gives information about new openings to the visitors and receives their applications. The scrutiny of applications is essential to take out those applications which do not fulfill the requirements of posts. These applicants if called for interviews, will waste their own time and that of the company.

3.Preliminary Interview:

Preliminary interview is a sorting process in which the prospective candidates are given the necessary information about the nature of the job and the organization. Necessary information is obtained from the candidates about their education, skills, experience, expected salary etc. If the candidate is found suitable, he is selected for further screening. Preliminary interview saves time and efforts of both the company and the candidate. Preliminary interview is brief and generally carried out by a junior executive across the counter or at the reception office.

4. Blank Application Form :

A blank application form is a widely accepted device for getting information from a prospective applicant. This is a way of getting written information about candidate’s particulars in his own handwriting. The information collected in blank application relates to the following particulars:

(i)Bio-data:Bio-data includes name of the applicant, father’s name, date of birth, place of birth, permanent address, height, weight, identification mark, marital status, physical disability etc.

(ii)Educational Qualifications: This part of educational qualifications relates to education acquired, subjects studied, areas of specialization.

(iii)Work Experience: Application blank also enquires about previous experience, similar or other jobs held, nature of duties, salaries received, names of previous employers, reasons for leaving the present job.

(iv)Curricular Activities: The information about participation in extra-curricular activities like N.S.S., N.C.C., debates and declamations, sports, etc. is also received in blank application form.

(v)References: The applicant is also asked to give some references from where an enquiry may be made about his nature and work. The references are normally the persons with whom the applicant has worked but are not related to him.

(vi)Salary Demanded: The salary demanded by the applicant is also given in the application blank.

5. Selection Test:

Applicants who pass the screening and the preliminary interview are called for tests. Different types of tests may be administered depending on the job and the company. A test provides a systematic basis for comparing the behavior attitudes and performance of two or more persons. Tests help in reducing bias in selection by serving as a supplementary screening device. Tests help in better matching of candidates and the job. Tests are useful when the number of applicants is large

6.Selection Interview:

Interview is the oral examination conducted for the purpose of employment. It is a formal, in depth conversation, which evaluates the applicant’s acceptability. It is also a very flexible device which can be adopted to select unskilled, skilled, managerial and professional employees. In selection interview the interviewer matches the information obtained about the candidate through various means to the job requirements and to the information obtained through his own observations during the interviews.

7.Checking References:

The references may provide significant information about the candidate if they happened to be his former employers or with whom he might have been working earlier. The applicants are normally asked to name two or three persons who know about his experience, skill, ability, etc. but should not be

related to him. The prospective employer normally makes an investigation on the references supplied by the candidate and undertakes search into his past employment, education, personal reputation, etc.

8.Final Selection:

Upto this stage selection is handled by personnel department or staff executives. Since the persons employed are to work under line officers, the candidates are referred to them. Line officers will finally decide about the work to be assigned to them. If the candidate is not suitable for one job then he is tried at some other.

9.Physical Examination:

After the selection decision and before the job offer is made, the candidate is required to undergo physical fitness test. Candidates are sent for physical examination either to the company’s physician or to a medical officer approved for the purpose. A job offer is often, contingent upon the candidate being declared fit after the physical examination. The results of medical fitness test are recorded in a statement and preserved in the personnel records.

10.Job Offer:

The next step in the selection process is the job offer to those applicants who have crossed all the previous hurdles. Job offer is made in the form of an appointment letter. Such a letter, generally, contains a date by which the candidate must report for duty. Reasonable reporting time is given to all the appointed candidates.

11.Contract Of Employment :

After the job offer has been made and the candidate accepts the offer, a contract for employment is executed by the employer and the candidate. The basic information that is included in a written contract varies according to the level of the Job. Generally, the following details are included in the contract:

(i)Job tittle

(ii)Details of duties

(iii)Date when the continuous employment starts

(iv)Remuneration and method of payments

(v)Hours of work including lunch break, overtime and shift arrangements

(vi)Holiday arrangements and details of holidays

(vii)Sickness leave rules

(viii)Length of notice due to and from employee

(ix)Grievance procedure

(x)Disciplinary procedure

(xi)Work Rules

(xii)Terms of Termination of employment

(xiii)Terms for union membership

(xiv)Employer’s right to vary terms of the contract subject to proper notification being given.

Great care is taken in drafting the contracts.

12. Evaluation:

The selection process, if properly performed will ensure availability of competent and committed personnel. A period audit conducted by people who work independently of the human resource department will evaluate the effectiveness of the selection process.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Research done on Recruitment and Selection Practices by Sheila M. Roux, Ph.D., Research Consultant and Paul Bertha, Ph.D., Manager of Development Dimensions International (DDI).

VIEWSBetter recruitment and selection strategies result in improved organizational outcomes. The more effectively organization recruit and select candidates, the more likely they are to hire and retain satisfied employees. Recruitment is the process of identifying and attracting potential candidates from within and outside an organization to begin evaluating them for future employment. Once candidates are identified, an organization can begin the selection process. This includes collecting, measuring, and evaluating information about candidate’s qualifications for specified positions. Organizations use these processes to increase the likelihood of hiring individuals who possess the right skills and abilities to be successful at their job.

Research done on How to tailor your recruitment and selection process to reflect a changing economy by Co-operative Personnel Services (CPS) human resource service.

VIEWSThe purpose was to identify what other agencies have been doing in their recruitment and selection processes to account for the changing economy. Wanted information in terms of strategies and processes used or changed over the past few years in order to account for the change in the economy, the number of applications, and the number of qualified applicants. Research done on how can HRM Improve recruitment and selection within organization by Carter Mc Namarari.

Research done on a dissertation on recruitment and selection process in TATA INDICOM by Shweta Dass.

VIEWSTo minimize the recruitment cost & time, telephonic interview / video conferencing are being conducted for the outstation candidates. The other important source of recruitment considered in this sector is the HR Databank/ References from the interviewed candidate. Number of rounds conducted for interview depends upon the level of job it varies according to that. Telephonic interview is used very less instead of that other mode of interview is used i.e. mix and one to one “How you select people is more important than how manage them once they are on the job.”
