OVERVIEW OF DIFFERENT AREAS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Organizations are made up of people and functions through people. Without people organization cannot exist. “Human Resource is regarded as the assets for any company.” This resource by themselves cannot fulfill the objectives of an organization. There is need to unite them into a team. It is

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 24: Essar Oil Ltd

through the combined efforts of people that material and monetary resources are

effectively utilized for the attainment of common objectives without these joint efforts the end goals cannot be achieved. All the activities of an organization are initiated and completed by the persons who make up the organization therefore people are the most significant resource of an organization. This resource is called HUMAN RESOURCE.

According to L. F. URWICK :-

“Business houses are made or broken in the long run not by markets or capital, patents or equipments; but by MEN of all resource manpower is the only resource which does not depreciate with the passage of time.”

According to FLIPPO, Personnel Management or Human Resource Management is;

“The Planning, Organizing, Directing and Controlling of Procurement, Development, Compensation, Integration, Retention of Human Resource to the end that individual & societal objectives are accomplished.”

Human Resource Planning has been defined as the process by which management determines how an organization should move from its current position to its desired manpower position.In the words of STAINER,

“ Manpower Planning is the strategy for the Acquisition, Utilization, Improvement and Preservation of an Organization’s Human Resource which is aimed at coordinating the requirements

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 26: Essar Oil Ltd

for and making availability of different types of employees.”

Human resource planning is the first and important role of Manager at ESSAR OIL LIMITED and unless there is strong manpower, to carry various activities is not possible. Here Planning is based on various parameters like:-

● Size of Organization● Turnover of company● Technology involved● Automation● Areas to be outsourced● Non – Core activities outsourced

The planning is based on the demand for and supply of manpower available to the company. The planning functions are carried out in various departments for the operations and

maintenance activities and are required at each and every level. The manpower currently is 780 highly efficient and dynamic group and is planning to expand by touching 1000 to 1500.

After planning of the manpower, the company goes for searching the job requirement. Detailed knowledge of the nature and

requirements of jobs to be filled is essential for determining the kind or quality of personnel’s required. Such knowledge can be obtained through the process of JOB ANALYSIS.

Job Analysis is scientific and systematic process of determining by observation and studies the tasks, which comprise the job, the methods and equipments used and the skills, attitudes required for

successful performance of the job. STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 27: Essar Oil Ltd

Job Analysis is carried out here at ESSAR OIL LIMITED. It is beneficial to all companies as managers can know which place is to be filled by which person and it takes place by proving various benefits to the organization which are as follows :-

● For Planning ● Recruitment & Selection ● Placement & Orientation● Training & Development ● Performance Appraisal● Career Planning● Job Evaluation● Employee Relation ● Health & Safety purpose

After the required number and kind of human resource are determined, the next step in the procurement function is to locate the source where from the required human resource can be available and to attract them towards the organization. This is known as “RECRUITMENT”.

According to FLIPPO :-

“Recruitment is the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating and encouraging them to apply for jobs in an organization”.

At ESSAR OIL LIMITED, Recruitment is a process to discover the source of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate number to facilitate effective selection of

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 28: Essar Oil Ltd

The potential applicants send their resume generally through e-mail that contains personal details, professional details, objective of joining and their expectation from organization. Thus recruitment is an important process to attract potential applicants for proper job and after the recruitment is done the next step is of selection out of those applicants who have applied for the position.

Selection is the process of choosing the most suitable persons out of all the applicants. In the process, relevant information about applicants is collected through a series of steps so as to evaluate their suitability for the job to be filled. Selection is a process of matching the qualifications of applicants with the job requirements.

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 30: Essar Oil Ltd

“Selection is the process of differentiating between those with greater likelihood of

success for job. In short it is Right Person for Right Job on Right Time.”

The Selection procedure is done by the management group at ESSAR OIL LIMITED which is affected by the internal or external environment. The following is the process of selection carried here:-

1. PRELIMINARY INTERVIEW2. EMPLOYMENT INTERVIEW3. REFERENCE & BACKGROUND4. SELECTION DECISION 5. JOB OFFER6. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION7. EVALUATION

At each level the applicants may be selected or rejected depending upon the qualifications and potentials to work and thus selection of right person for the right job is made in a manner that proves beneficial for the working of the company.

Once an employee has been selected, he should be placed on a suitable job. A misplaced employee remains dissatisfied and frustrated. After placing the selected candidates on proper jobs, it is necessary to make them familiar with the job, the company and other employees so that they can feel at home and can concentrate on their work.

“Placement is the process of assigning a specific job to each one of the selected candidates. It involves assigning a specific rank

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 31: Essar Oil Ltd

and responsibility to an individual. It implies matching the requirements of job

with the qualifications of a candidate.”

Placement at ESSAR OIL LIMITED is done by the management team on the basis of required work and skills available from the candidates acquired. The objective is to place right person for the right job so as to make the organization work more effectively and efficiently. Placement is matching of what the supervisor has reason to think he can do with the job demands. It is a matching of what he imposes in strain, working conditions and what he offers in the form of form of payroll, companionship with others, promotional possibilities etc.

Proper placement helps to improve employee morale. It also helps to reduce employee turnover, absenteeism and accidents rates. If a candidate adjusts himself to the job and continuous to perform as per expectations, it might mean that the candidate is properly placed. However, if the candidate has problems in adjusting himself to the job and he continues to perform below expectations, he might be misplaced. Supervisors/Executives

should review all such cases to find out cases of misplacement. Such candidates should be assigned some other more suitable jobs. Alternately, they may be given further trained to make them fit for job. This method is carried out at ESSAR OIL LIMITED.

When a new employee joins an organization, he is completely a stranger to the people, work place and the work environment. Therefore he is likely to feel insure, shy and nervous. He may undergo reality shock caused by a gap between his expectations and the real situation. Induction or Orientation can overcome these problems.

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 32: Essar Oil Ltd

“Once an employee is selected and placed on appropriate job, the process of

familiarizing him with the job and organization begins. This process is called INDUCTION or ORIENTATION.”

Induction takes place here at ESSAR OIL LIMITED for making the employees familiar with how the working of the company takes place. The induction program is of 15 days either organized at the REFINERY SITE or at ESSAR OIL CLUB. All facilities like accommodation, transport and all kinds of refreshments are provided by company on the its cost. It covers all the major areas of management made familiar and all other departments and units working in the company, from where they procure it till the dispatch of the final product; all activities that are carried on by the company is described during the induction process.

In short, it describes everything in detail how the organization works and how does it contributes in the development of its people and company at large on whole develops the country.There are not only live presentations given, but the employees are also taken at the refinery sites where different units through which the products will be processed are shown and its process is

explained by the task assigned to the officer. During this process the employees are taken for the JETTY VISIT at VADINAR.

Normally, employees want to advance and grow in their careers. Most individuals develop quite early in life an idea or a mental image of what career they would like to pursue. Unless organization meets these desires and aspirations of its employees it cannot make optimum use of its human resource. Changing expectations of employees and the organization creates conflicts and by this the organization cannot attain higher level of efficiency and effectiveness

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 33: Essar Oil Ltd

A sound wage and salary structure is one of the pre-requisites of good employer-employee relations. In order to develop such a structure, it is essential that pay related with the nature and worth of the job. It is also essential to maintain proper differentials between compensation for various jobs. Pay differentials need to be related with differentials in the value of different jobs. The

relative worth of a job can be judged with the help of job evaluation.

According to International Labor Office :-

“Job Evaluation is an attempt to determine and compare the demands which the normal performance of a particular job makes

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 36: Essar Oil Ltd

on normal workers, without taking into account the individual abilities or

performance of workers concerned.”

The British Institute of Management defines:-

“Job Evaluation as the process of analysis and assessment of jobs to ascertain reliably their relative worth using the assessment as the basis for a balanced wage structure.”

Job Evaluation at ESSAR OIL LIMITED is based on the different levels or positions that are required for various departments which is in terms of number of the vacancies available at which position of what kind, the nature of work to be assigned to whom in which manner, the level of competencies required for the different positions. As yet there is no method adopted by the management but there is evaluation done on the basis of certain point rating system like grading the efficient and effective working of the employee and to reward in some manner so as to increase the efficiency to perform even more better every time.

The payment of salary is an important activity of any organization to make the employee more efficiently and to motivate them through monetary benefits so as to increase the

performance in better way. It is not the only monetary benefit to be given but non monetary benefits are also give to improve the employees performance.

“Salary may be defined as the monthly benefit to the clerical, administration and professional employees.”

At ESSAR, payroll administration is handled very efficiently and is effective in nature. The payment of the salary is according to the designation or the level which is given to each employee that

STUDY ON PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL- 70 -

Page 37: Essar Oil Ltd

is from M-1 to T-2. At each of this level the payroll is different as the assigned

work and ask differ and every level has fixed payroll. The minimum or maximum salary is decided by the management. For each employee there is separate file prepared by the company that contains all the details regarding the employee all personal details, his qualifications, medical reports, confirmation letter by the company. One of the most important is the payroll slip and its letter which is called C.T.C.(COST TO COMPANY)

CTC are the expenses incurred by the company on the employee either for training or development that includes the salary expenses, traveling expenses, hotel accommodations and food expenses that are incurred on employee for any reason. The CTC changes with the level of responsibility assigned to an employee and as the person moves up by getting promotions.
