SUGGESTIONS

At the end of every report, it needs suggestions and

recommendations. According to our judgment the following are the suggestions and recommendations.

Feedback is not given to the management in time due to centralization.

Same old methods are used in UBL, they should use new methods to increase the efficiency of employees.

Some authorities should be given to the lower management to save the time of customers.

The proportion of performance related work should be more than the proportion of deposits in promotions.

It should be necessary for the UBL that for the old employees training session for well grooming, because even they dont know that howto deal with new technology.

Working condition should be improved in UBL.

New blood should be injected and young professionals should be recruited on merit to induce enthusiasm in the bank. Customers should

be focus of all activities to boost up the business.

The workers should be given a sense of teamwork and the manager should be trained to manage the team as good leader

There should be a proper check on staff member so that they become punctual and conscientious.
