INTRODUCTION OF THE COMPANY


6/56

INTRODUCTION

Crompton Greaves (CG) is part of the US$ 4 bn Avantha Group, a conglomerate with an

impressive global footprint, operating in over 10 countries. Since its inception, CG has been

synonymous with electricity. In 1875, a Crompton 'dynamo' powered the world's very first

electricity-lit house in Colchester, Essex, U.K. CG's India operations were established in 1937,

and since then the company has retained its leadership position in the management and

application of electrical energy. Today, Crompton Greaves is India's largest private sector

enterprise. It has diversified extensively and is engaged in designing, manufacturing and

marketing technologically advanced electrical products and services related to power generation,

transmission and distribution, besides executing turnkey projects. The company is customer-

centric in its focus and is the single largest source for a wide variety of electrical equipments and

products. With several international acquisitions, Crompton Greaves is fast emerging as a first

choice global supplier for high quality electrical equipment.

History of the organization & its objectives


8/56

History

The history of Crompton Greaves goes back to 1878 when Col. R.E.B. Crompton founded

R.E.B. Crompton & Company. The company merged with F.A Parkinson in the year 1927 to

form Crompton Parkinson Ltd., (CPL). Greaves Cotton and Co (GCC) was appointed as their

concessionaire in India. In 1937, CPL established, it's wholly owned Indian subsidiary viz.

Crompton Parkinson Works Ltd., in Bombay, along with a sales organization, Greaves Cotton &

Crompton Parkinson Ltd., in collaboration with GCC. In the year 1947, with the dawn of Indian

independence, the company was taken over by Lala Karamchand Thapar, an eminent Indian

industrialist. Crompton Greaves is headquartered in a self-owned landmark building at Worli,

Mumbai.

Products & Services Offered

The company is organized into three business groups viz. Power Systems, Industrial Systems,

Consumer Products. Nearly, two-thirds of it's turnover accrues from products lines in which it

enjoys a leadership position. Presently, the company is offering wide range of products such as

power & industrial transformers, HT circuit breakers, LT & HT motors, DC motors, traction

motors, alternators/ generators, railway signaling equipments, lighting products, fans, pumps and

public switching, transmission and access products. In addition to offering broad range ofproducts, the company undertakes turnkey projects from concept to commissioning. Apart from

this, CG exports it's products to more than 60 countries worldwide, which includes the emerging

South-East Asian and Latin American markets . Thus, the company addresses all the segments of

the power industry from complex industrial solutions to basic household requirements. The fans

and lighting businesses acquired "Super brand" status in January 2004. It is a unique recognition

amongst the country's 134 selected brands by "Super brands", UK.

Manufacturing , Marketing & Servicing Network

CG's business operations consist of 22 manufacturing divisions spread across in Gujarat,

Maharashtra, Goa, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, supported by well knitted marketing and

service network through 14 branches in various states under overall management of four regional

sales offices located in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai. The company has a large customer


9/56

base, which includes State Electricity Boards, Government bodies and large companies in private

and public sectors.

Future Outlook

The quality of households is enhanced when their money is invested into products such as fans

and lighting for basic comforts. Their lives are literally touched by delight. Similarly, Crompton

helps electricity boards and other utilities to reach electricity to the last home and factory.

Therefore, every individual in India who uses electricity can be considered as Crompton

customer. Hence, the company continues to further and consolidate the initiatives that Colonel

Crompton set into motion by focusing on meeting increasing customer demands for products that

are eco-friendly, energy efficient and with intelligent monitoring and control systems.

All economic indicators point towards the manufacturing sector being the future driver of India's

economic growth. India is today preferred destination for sourcing various engineering goods not

only due to low cost but also due to high quality of products. Although, the climate for the

manufacturing sector is bright, the concern is the threat of imminent competition from global

players who are already in the process of setting up manufacturing facilities in India. The market

is expected to remain competition with an added element of competition from imported

products.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Human resources is a term used to describe the individuals who comprise the workforce of an

organization, although it is also applied in labor economics to, for example, business sectors or

even whole nations. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization

charged with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the

management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title is often abbreviated to

the initials 'HR'.

Human resources is a relatively modern management term, coined in the 1960. The origins of the

function arose in organizations that introduced 'welfare management' practices and also in those

that adopted the principles of 'scientific management'. From these terms emerged a largely

administrative management activity, co-ordination a range of worker related processes and

becoming known, in time as the 'personnel function'. Human resources progressively became the

more usual name for this function, in the first instance in the United States as well as

multinational corporations, reflecting the adoption of a more quantitative as well as strategic

approach to workforce management, demanded by corporate management and the greater

competitiveness for limited and highly skilled workers.

FUNCTIONS:

Human Resources may set strategies and develop policies, standards, systems, and processes that

implement these strategies in a whole range of areas. The following are typical of a wide range

of organizations:

Recruitment, selection, and onboarding (resourcing)

Organizational design and development

Business transformation and change management

Performance, conduct and behavior management

Industrial and employee relations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_management


12/56

Human resources (workforce) analysis and workforce personnel data management

Compensation, rewards, and benefits management

Training and development (learning management)

Implementation of such policies, processes or standards may be directly managed by the HR

function itself, or the function may indirectly supervise the implementation of such activities by

managers, other business functions or via third-party external partner organizations.

Crompton Greaves has a large customer base, consisting of State Electricity Boards, Utility

companies, Railways, Government & local bodies and large companies in public as well as

private sectors. Thus, it addresses customers from all the segments from households to complex

industrial sectors through its comprehensive range of products and services.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY


17/56

Recruitment is hiring of employees from outside. Recruitment has been regarded as the most

important function of the HR department , because unless the right type of people are hired, even

the best plans, organization chart and control system would not do much good.

Recruitment is the discovering of potential applicant for actual or anticipated organizational

vacancies. Accordingly the purpose of recruitment is to locate sources of manpower to meet the

job requirements and job specification.

It is defined as a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of

staffing schedule and to apply effective measures for attracting the manpower to adequate

number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce

Yoderpoints out that recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the

requirement of the staffing schedule and to employee effective measures to attracting that

manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of an effective workforce.

Edwin B Flippo definesrecruitment as the process of searching for prospective employees and

stimulating them to apply for the jobs in the organization.

It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process

begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their application are submitted. The result is

a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected.

Methods of Recruitment

Dunn and Stephens summaries the possible recruiting methods into three categories, namely

1: Direct method

2: Indirect method

3: Third party method

Direct Method


18/56

The direct method includes sending of the recruiters to different educational and professional

institutions, employees contact with public, and mannered exhibits. One of the widely used

methods is sending the recruiters to different colleges and technical schools. This is mainly done

with the cooperation of the placement office of the college. Sometimes, firms directly solicit

information form the concerned professors about student with an outstanding records.

Other direct methods include sending recruiters to conventions and seminars, setting up exhibits

at fairs, and using mobile offices to go the desired centers.

Indirect Method

Indirect method involves mainly advertising in newspapers, on the radios, in trade and

professional journals, technical magazines and brochures.

Advertisements in newspapers and or trade journals and magazines are the most frequently used

methods. Senior post is largely filled with such methods. Advertising is a very useful for

recruiting blue color and hourly worker, as well as scientific, professional, and technical

employees.

Local newspaper can be good sources of blue collar workers, clerical employees, and lower level

administrative employees.

The main point is that the higher the position in the organization the more dispersed

advertisement is likely to be. The search for the top executive might include advertisement in a

national periodical, whereas the advertisement of the blue color jobs usually confine to the daily

newspaper.

According to the Advertisement tactic and strategy in personnel Recruitment, three main

points need to be borne in the mind before an advertisement in inserted.

First, to visualize the type of applicants one is trying to recruit.

Second, to write out a list of advantages the company offers, or why should the reader join the

company.


19/56

Third, to decide where to run the advertisement , not only in which area, but also in which

newspaper having a local, state or a nation- wide circulation.

Third Party

These include the use of commercial or private employment agencies, state agencies, and

placement offices of schools colleges and professional associations recruiting firms, management

consulting firms, indoctrination seminars for college professors, and friends and relatives.

Private employment agencies are the most widely used sources. They charge a small fee from the

applicant. They specialize in specific occupation; general office help, salesmen, technical

workers, accountant, computer staff, engineers and executives.

State or public employment agencies are also known as the employment or labour exchanges, are

the main agencies for the public employment. Employers inform them of their personnel

requirement, while job seekers get information for them about the type of job are referred by the

employer.

Schools and colleges offer opportunities for recruiting their student. They operate placement

services where complete biodata and other particular of the student are available.

Professional organization or recruiting firms maintain complete information records about

employed executive. These firms maintain complete information records about employed

executives. These firms are looked upon as the head hunters raiders", and pirates by

organization which loose their personnel through their efforts.

Evaluation of the Recruitment method

The following are the evaluation of the recruitment method

Number of initial enquires received which resulted in completed application forms

Number of candidates recruited.

Number of candidates retained in the organization after six months.

To devise methodology for assessing psychological traits.

To search for talent globally not just with in the company.

To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum.

To anticipate and find people for position that doesn't exists yet.

Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees. It is

through recruitment that many individuals come to know about the company and eventually

decide whether they wish to work for it.

The recruitment process should inform qualified individuals about the job so that applicant can

make comparison with their qualification and interest.

Factors affecting Recruitment

There are two types of factors that affect the Recruitment of candidates for the company.

1: Internal factors: These includes

- Company pay package

- Company product

- Growth rate of the company

- Role of trade unions

- Cost of recruitment

2: External factors: These include

- Supply and demand factors

- Employment rate

- Labour market condition

- Political, legal and government factors

- Information system

Factors to be undertaken while formulating recruitment policies

The following factors should be undertaken while formulating the policies -

- Government polices

- Recruitment sources

- Recruitment needs

- Recruitment cost

- Organizational and personal policies

Theories Regarding Recruitment

Recruitment is two way street: it takes a recruiter has a choice whom to recruit, same way the

prospective employee also has taken the decision whether or not to apply for the given job

vacancy. The individual take the decision usually on three different basic:

1: The objective factors

2: The critical contact

3: The subjective factor

The objectives theory views that the process of organizational choice as being one of weighing

and evaluating set of measurable characteristic of employment offers, such pay, benefits ,

location, opportunity for advancement, the nature of job to performed, and education

opportunities.

Whereas, the critical contact theory suggests that the typical candidates is unable to make a

meaningful differentiation of organization offers in terms of objective or subjective factors,

because of his limited or very short contact with the organization. Choice can be made only

when applicant can readily perceive the factors such as the behavior of the recruiters, the nature


22/56

of the physical facilities, and such as the efficiency in processing paper work association with the

application.

On the other hand, the subjective theory emphasizes the congruence. Here the choices are made

on highly personal and emotional basis.

Recruitment Process

The actual steps involved in recruitment follow a well defined path:

Application shortlist: In this step, we shortlist the resume received from various sources based

on the suitability for the requirement.

Preliminary Assessment: The short listed candidates go through a preliminary round of

interviews. This interview lays more emphasis on functional competencies. To have more data

on the functional skills, the candidates may be given a business case for analysis and presentation

(This is done for certain positions only).

Final interview: Here the candidates who successfully clear the first round of interview go

through another round of interview with one or more of the functional heads.

Medical Evaluation: Candidates who are selected by Colgate are asked to undergo a medical

test.

SELECTION


32/56

Selection is a negative process and involves the elimination of candidates who do not have the

required skills and qualification for the job proposed. Also it is a process of differentiating

between applicants in order to identify and hire those with grater likelihood of success in job.

The objective of selection decision is to choose the individual who can most successfully

perform the job from the pool of qualified candidates. It is the system of function and devise

adopted in a given company to ascertain whether the candidates specifications are matched with

the job specifications and recruitment or not. Selection process or activities typically follow a

standard patter, beginning with an initial screening interview and concluding with final

employment decision. The traditional selection process includes: preliminary screening

interview, completion of application form, employment test, comprehensive interview,

background investigation, physical examination and final employment decision to hire. But now

selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This type of

arrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages:

- It is easier for the application because they can send their applications to a single centralized

department.

- It facilitates contact with applicants because issues pertaining to employment can be cleared

through one central location.

- It helps operating managers to concentrate on their operating responsibilities. This is especially

helpful during the chief hiring period.

- It can provide for better selection because hiring is done by specialist trained in staffing

techniques.


33/56

- The applicant is better assured of consideration for a greater variety of jobs.

- Hiring cost is cut because duplication of efforts is reduced.

- With increased governmental regulation on selection process, it is important that people who

know about these rules handle a major part of the selection process.

Ideally, a selection process involves mutually decision making. The organization

decides whether or not to make a job offer and how attractive the job offer should

be.

ESSENTIAL OF SELECTION PROCEDURE:

- Someone should have the authority to select.

- There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of employees to

be selected.

- There must be some standards of personnel with which a prospective employee may be

compared.

FACTORS EFFECTING SELECTION DECISION:

Includes:

- Profile matching

- Organization and social environment

- Multi correlations

- Successive hurdles

Evaluation of recruitment process


34/56

The following are the evaluation of the recruitment process:

1: Return rate of application sent out.

2: Number of suitable candidates for selection.

3: Retention and performance of the candidate selection.

4: Cost of recruitment

5: Time lapsed data.

6: Comments on image projected.

Philosophies Of Recruitment

Basically there are two Philosophies of recruitment. These are as follows:

1: REALISTIC JOB PREVIEWS (RJP)

Realistic Job Previews provides complete job related information to the applicants so that they

can make the right decision before taking up the jobs. It includes positive and the negative

aspects of the job.

2: JOB COMPATIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE: (JCQ)

Job compatibility Questionnaire was developed to determine whether an applicant preference for

the work match the characteristic of the job. The JCQ is designed to collect information on all

aspects of the job which have a bearing in on employee performance .absenteeism, turnover and

job satisfaction. The underlying assumption of JCQ is that, greater the compatibility between an

applicant preference for the job and characteristic of the job as perceived by the job seeker, the

greater the probability of employee effectiveness and longer the tenure.

Organization for selection

Until recently the basic hiring process was performed in a rather unplanned manner in many

organizations. In some companies, each department screened and hired its own employees. Many

mangers insisted on screening their own employees as they thought no one else could do that as

efficiently as they themselves.


36/56

But now selection is centralized and handled by the Human Resource Department. This type of

arrangement is also preferred due to some of these advantages:

37/56

Barriers To Effective Selection

The main objective of selection process is to hire people having competence and commitment

towards the given job profile. But due to some reason the main purpose of effectively selecting

candidates is defeated. These reasons are:

1: Perception or the Halo effect: Many a times the interviewer selects a candidate according to

the perception he has or he made up while talking or looking at the individual. This way he does

not see through the caliber or the efficiency of the individual and many times it leads to the

selection of the wrong candidates.

2: Fairness: During the selection process the interviewer does not select the individual on the

basis of his knowledge and hence the right type of the candidates is not selected.

3: Pressure: The people from the HR department and also have a lot of pressure from the top

management and from other top class people for selecting the candidates they want. This ways

the purpose of effective selection process of effective selection process is defeated as they have

to select that individual whether or not he is capable of the job. that is being offered.

ESSENTIAL OF SELECTION PROCEDURE

- Someone should have the authority to select.

- There must be sufficient number of applicants from whom the required number of employees to

be selected.

- There must be some standards of personnel with which a prospective employee may be

compared.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

3.RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In everyday life human being has to face many problems viz. social, economical, financial

problems. These problems in life call for acceptable and effective solutions and for this purpose,

research is required and a methodology applied for the solutions can be found out.

Research was carried out at CROMPTON GREVES to find out the

Recruitment and selection process.

3.1.DATA COLLECTION:

Primary Data:

Primary data was collected through survey method by distributing questionnaires to branch

manager and other sales manager. The questionnaires were carefully designed by taking into

account the parameters of my study.

Secondary Data:

Data was collected from books, magazines, web sites, going through the records of the

CONCLUSION


50/56

CONCLUSION

This presents the summary of the study and survey done in relation to the Recruitment and

Selection in CROMPTON GREAVES. The conclusion is drawn from the study and survey of the

company regarding the Recruitment and Selection process carried out there.

The recruitment process at CROMPTON GREAVES to some extent is not done objectively and

therefore lot of bias hampers the future of the employees. That is why the search or headhunt of

people should be of those whose skill fits into the company values.

Most of the employees were satisfied but changes are required according to the changing

scenario as recruitment process has a great impact on the working of the company as a fresh

blood, new idea enters in the company.

Selection process is good but it should also be modified according to the requirements and

should job profile so that main objective of selecting the candidate could be achieved.

SUGGESION


52/56

SUGGESION

Manpower requirement for each department in the company is identified well in advance.

If the manpower requirement is high and the recruitment team of the HR department

alone cannot satisfy it, then help from the placement agencies is needed.

Time management is very essential and it should not be ignored at any level of the

process..

The recruitment and selection through placement agencies as the last resort and is utilized

only when need.

The recruitment and selection procedure should not to lengthy and time consuming.

The candidates called for interview should be allotted timings and it should not overlap

with each other.
