Staff Union in conduction of tests and in the selection of candidates.

22. There should be proper training (Up to date) for newly selected

employees.

23. There should be refresher courses for officers then to tackle marketing

other banks, so that they can compare the procedures adopted by other

Bank, and adopt what ever better and new.

disturbs the prevailing branch conditions but it also affects employee's

efficiency. More over the transfer should be made free from union

should be matched with responsibilities of the post.

30. In MCB President and General Secretary of Staff Union are exempted

from duties, but all those who re the members of union do not attend

the bank in time, so the responsibilities of these persons should be

clearly defined for which they will be asked.

5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SPECIFIC

BRANCH

Based on my research I would strongly recommend specifically to the

MCB Mardan some practical solution to the problems, which are present

in their system. Recommendations are given below:

1) Improvement of working condition

2) Improvement of interrelationship b/w employees

3) Improvement of communication

4) Reduce the tension of the employees how to implement these

recommendation can be like as given below.

5.2.1 Improvement of Working Condition

The working conditions of MCB Mardan are not up to the standards; the

building is not furnished and decorated. Any body when enters to bank does

not feel comfortable because physical outlook of the bank is worth pity and so

congested. To eliminate this problem they can take the following steps.

The bank should purchase land for the construction of their office, where they

can build building according to the their requirements and modern standards.



The land is available not very far from their existing office. They can have

enough land as per their requirements. The estimated cost is Rs3 lacks for the

area of 5 Marla.

After purchasing the land they can hire the services of a construction

consultant to design building according to their requirements. To have

information about their requirements they need to conduct a proper research.

The data for the research should be collected not only from the employees of

the bank but also from the customers of the bank. The employees should be

asked what sort of working conditions they would like to have which they

think would facilitate their function. And the customer should be asked about

their expectations from the bank. Based on the facts obtained the consultants

should be asked to design building for them. Proper facts can be only obtained

through proper research which takes some time and was not possible for me to

conduct it in the short internship time but still what I found while being there I

will point out points as follows.

Glass covered cabins should be made for each employee, and it should be

designed in such a way that customers can access them in a convenient way.

This all will cost them not more than RS 12 lacks, and as MCB is a financial

institution having enough funds available can afford this project, which is

going to benefit them in the long run.

5.2.2 Relationship Between the Employees

Relations between the employees are not satisfied. They are just the staff

members and treat one another formally. They don’t have any relation of

as such friendship, which I think, is essential for the daily operations of

any organization.

To solve this problem the bank chief manager can play a vital role. Only

what he needs to do to arrange get together parties amongst them on

regular bases not only in the free timings of the bank but also outside the

bank which will provide them an opportunity to sit with one another and

discuss the problems of one another , by this they will come close to one

another and hence become friends.



In bank timings they are so busy in their bank activities that they don’t

find even a single minute to sit with one another and relax, even some

time they are so exhausted that they don’t want to talk to one another and a kind of cold war stars between them and instead of giving

attention to their bank job they try to embarrass their colleagues which is

going to adversely affect the performance of the bank.

Hence it is very essential for the chief manager to improve their

relationship through regular get together parties and discouraging

informal groups between the employees.

5.2.3 Communication

Being the leading bank the MCB should give attention to the

improvement of communication amongst the employees. For this

purpose they can install their own little telephone exchange in their own

branch. This will cost them not more than Rs150, 000 for installation

and Rs10000 per month for maintenance and operation. Viewing the

financial position of the MCB it is too little amount for them. But this

well benefits them more through improved services.

5.2.4 Tension of Employees

What I have felt while being there with them, that the employees are

under unnecessary tension. They are always afraid that they might

commit some mistake and will be scolded by the chief manager if not

punished in terms of transfer or even suspended. In order to remove this

problem the chief manager should keep a friendly relations with the

employees of the bank and should be more democratic than

authoritative, this will require him to go their seats regularly and discuss

not only their routine problems but also their personal problems and

cooperate them in the best manner.
