trade deadlock with India and devaluation of Indian Rupee in1949. Initially the Bank was

established with the objective to extend credit to the agriculture sector. The normal procedure of

establishing a banking company under the Companies Law was set aside and the Bank was

established through the promulgation of an Ordinance due to the crisis situation that had

developed with regard to financing of jute trade. The Bank commenced its operations from

diversification took place. Today the Bank finances import/export business to the tune of Rs.

52.7 billion, whereas in 1960 financing under this head was only Rs. 1.54 billion.

HRD ACTION PLAN 2011-2015

HRD developed a comprehensive five-year action plan in alignment with the overall strategic

direction of the Bank. The plan focuses on three specific goals aimed at improving efficiency and

effectiveness of the existing HR policies and programs. These goals are: to further improve

SBP’s work ethics philosophy, promote value-based performance culture, and enhance the

effectiveness of various HR policies such as succession planning, performance management,

recruitment and compensation, balancing bank-wide workload distribution, and implementation

of capacity building initiatives in co-ordination with Training & Development Department. HRD

plans to implement these targets in a priority-defined phase wise approach within the next five

years.

OUR PEOPLE, OUR ASSETS

At the State Bank, we firmly believe that the principal source of our strength as an organization

is our human resource base. Managerial attention at the Bank has therefore been focused on the

need to continuously invest in people, provide them with the right incentives to perform better

and to make merit and performance the criteria for professional and career development. At the

State Bank, we strive to develop and sustain a work environment in which each employee is

empowered, is provided with opportunities for professional growth and is recognized and

rewarded for the contribution made towards achievement of organizational objectives. We value

diversity in terms of the unique characteristics that each member of our team brings to the

organization as reflected in diverse educational and professional backgrounds, cultural and

gender perspectives. This mix positively impacts institutional approach and decision processes

by providing broader horizon, helping along the way the institution to be a more aware and

responsive organization.

SURVEY:

During our visit to NBP, our focus was on gathering information in reference to Human

Resource Department, apart from understanding organizational and Management structure that is

being practiced in State Bank of PAKISTAN. Following are the HR department of SBP which we have

covered during our survey:

1. Recruitment & selection

2. Training & development

3. Employee benefit

4. Performance appraisal system

Chapter 3: Human resource management

Human resource management involves all management decisions and practices that directly

affect or influence the people, or human resources, who work for the organization. In recent

years, increased attention has been devoted to how organizations manage Human Resources.

This increased attention comes from the realization that an organization’s employees enable an

organization to achieve its goals and the management of these human resources is critical to an

organization’s success.

“Human resource management (HRM or simply HR) is a function in organizations designed

to maximize employee performance in service of their employer's strategic objectives. HR is

primarily concerned with how people are managed within organizations, focusing on policies

and systems”.

“The process of hiring and developing employees so that they become more valuable to the

organization”.

Functions of HRM:

1. Planning for Organization, Jobs and People

Strategic Human Resources

Human Resources Planning

Job Analysis

2. Acquiring Human Resources

EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity)

Recruiting

Selection

3. Building performance

Human Resources Development

Human Resources Approaches to improving Competitiveness

4. Rewarding employees

Performance Appraisal

Compensation and Benefits

5. Maintaining Human Resources

Safety and Health

Labor Relation

Employment Transitions

6. Managing Multinational HRM

Importance of HRM:

Today, professionals in the human resources area are important elements in the success of any

organization. There jobs require a new level of complexity that is record in human resources

management. Not surprisingly, their status in the organization has also been elevated. Even the

name has changed. Although the terms personal and human resources management are

frequently used interchangeably, it is important to note that the two connote quite different

aspects. Once a single individual heading the personal function, today the human resource

department head may be a vice president sitting on executive boards, and participating in the

development of the overall organizational strategy.

Philosophy:

Human Resource works with the employees in the organization. Its main views are to put the

right people in the right places and also make them an asset for an organization.

Objective:

Human Resource Management refers to the practices and policies one need to carry out the

people or personnel aspects of one’s management job. These include:

Conducting job analysis (determining the nature of each employee’s job)

Planning labor needs and recruiting job candidate.

Selecting job candidates

Orienting and training new employees

Managing wages and salaries (determining how to compensate employees)

Providing incentives and benefits

Appraising performance

Communicating (interviewing, counseling, disciplining)

Training and development

Building employee commitment.

Chapter 4: Human Resource Planning

Job Analysis:

The procedure for determining the duties and skill requirements of a job and the kind of person

who should be hired for it.

The process of job analysis is of two types:

1. Job Description

2. Job Specification

A. Job Description:

A list of a job’s duties, responsibilities, reporting relationship, working conditions, and supervisory

responsibilities- one product of a job analysis.

B. Job Specification:

A list of a job’s “human requirement”, that is, requisite education, skills, personality, and so on

another product of a job analysis.

Human Resource Planning:

Have collected Human resource planning is concerned with the flow of people into, through,

and out of an organization. HR planning involves anticipating the need for labor and the supply

of labor and then planning the programs necessary to ensure that the organization will have the

right mix of employees and skills when and where they are needed.

Human Resource Demand:

Once HR planners have collected information from both internal and external sources, they

forecast the demand for labor. How many and what type of people will be needed to carry out the

organization’s plans in the future? These forecasts are grounded in information about the past

and present and in assumptions about the future. Different methods of forecasting the demand for

labor require different assumptions. Some of the more common assumptions are that past trends

and relationships among variables will hold up in the future; that the productivity ratio is

constant (or follows a known pattern) as the number of units produced increases; and that the

business plans of the organization, sales forecasts, and so on are reasonably descriptive of what

will actually happen. In a highly volatile business, these assumptions may not be valid. It is

always wish to explicitly list one’s assumptions in forecasting and to put on more faith in the

forecast than in the assumption on which it was based.

Demand forecasting method can be divided into two categories. They are Judgmental and

Mathematical. In practice, most organizations use some combination of the two methods. In our

country most of the financial institutions use the judgmental method.

Judgmental Methods:

Judgmental methods make use of knowledgeable people to forecast the future. Judgmental

methods do consider quantitative data but also allow for intuition and expertise to be factored in.

these methods may be used by small organization or by those new to HR forecasting that do not

yet have the database or expertise to use some of the more complex mathematical models.

Judgmental methods also may be preferred when an organization or environment is in a state of

transition or turmoil; at such times, past trends and correlations cannot be used to make accurate

predictions about the future.

Supply of labor:

Once the demand for labor is predicted, it is necessary to forecast the supply of labor that the

organization will already have available to meet the demand. It is basically of two types:

1. Internal supply of labor

2. External supply of labor

Gap Analysis:

In an organization there might be two type of gap exists:

1. Shortage:

When demand is more and supply of human resource is less in a particular area this called

shortage.

2. Surplus:

When supply is more and demand of human resource is less in a particular area this called

surplus.

Organizational Practices:

Organizational Practices is not properly followed by National Bank of Pakistan. Job description

and specification exists in the organization but in the case of demand and supply of their human

resource in different department and branches they usually not assess the demand and supply gap

properly, as a result employee surplus and shortage have been found in their several department

and branches as well. In this case what they did, if there is shortage of employee they have tried

to find out the area and then search employees from other areas and by giving proper training

they sent them and if there is any surplus employees exists the branch manager or divisional head

usually not informed Human Resource Department.

Chapter 5: Recruitment and Selection

Recruitment:

It refers to the process of attracting, screening, selecting, and on boarding a qualified person for

a job. In the perspective of management’s philosophy regarding acquisition of talent, recruitment

activity was concentrated at the entry level positions. This approach being in line with strategic

needs of the Bank was undertaken to hire skilled human resource. This approach also serves as a

progressive career path for our workforce through mechanisms such as career development and

succession planning.

Selection of the right people for the job is the first step towards developing an efficient

institution. Great stress has therefore been laid on ensuring that the recruitment process at the

NBP is highly competitive, transparent and merit based. As a result of this conscious policy, we

have been able to attract some of the top talent in the country in the fields of Economics,

Finance, Business administration, IT, Accounts and Audit as well as Statistics. As an Equal

Opportunity Employer we consciously seek diversity in terms of education, geographical

representation and gender and have actively encouraged women to apply for positions at the

NBP. As one of the largest employers of professionals in the country, with intake of more than

70 fresh graduates at entry level positions and frequent recruitment at senior levels, we have

successfully developed a system that is unblemished by nepotism, subjectivity and political

interference, All recruitment is through open advertisement and follows a well drawn out

procedure involving thorough scrutiny of all applications according to clearly specified criteria,

written tests developed and administered by external experts and interviews by a panel that has

representation from our Board of Directors as well as private sector specialists in the relevant

field. This commitment to quality and merit will continue in our recruitment and other

managerial actions.

When a vacancy occurs and the recruiters receive authorization to fill it, the next step is a careful

examination of the job and an enumeration of the skills, abilities, and experience needed to

perform the job successfully.

The Recruitment Process of the Organization:

Method of recruitment:

There are two method of recruitment:

1. Internal recruitment

2. External recruitment

Internal recruitment:

Most companies fill vacancies internally whenever possible. A number of internal recruitment

methods are use for different level of jobs. Lower-level jobs such as manual and clerical jobs are

often called nonexempt jobs because their incumbents are not exempt from the minimum wage

and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. These people typically are paid an

hourly wage. In contrast, higher-level administrative, managerial, and professional employees

are paid on a salary basis and are exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair standard

Labor Act.

External recruitment:

In addition to looking internally for candidates, it is customary for organizations to open up

recruiting efforts to the external community. Through the recruiting process, the hiring manager

should stay in close touch with the recruiter. The hiring manager should examine resumes or

application that have passed initial screening by the recruiter and should also review some of the

application that the recruiter rejected during the first steps. Such involvement on the part of the

hiring manager allows feedback as to whether or not the recruiter’s decisions are consistent with

the hiring manager’s preferences.

External recruitment methods are often grouped into two classes: 1. Informal and 2. Formal.

Informal Method:

Informal recruiting methods tap a narrower labor market than formal method. Informal method

includes rehiring former employees or former cooperative education students, hiring people

referred by present employees, and hiring from among those who have applied without being

solicited (such applicants are called walk-ins or gate hires).

Employee’s referral, also known as word-of-mouth advertising, is quick, effective, and

usually inexpensive. Because employees who refer their friends and acquaintance as candidates

have their own credibility on the line, they tend to refer people who are well qualified and well

motivated and then to mentor these individuals once they are hired.

Formal Methods:

Formal method of external recruiting entail searching the labor market for candidates who have

no previous connection to the firm. These methods traditionally have included newspaper

advertising, use of employment agencies and executive search firms, and campus recruiting. Posting

jobs ads on the Internet, either on the Bank own site or a commercial job board, has also become

extremely popular in the last few years. Historically, newspaper advertising has been the most commonly

used method of recruiting.

Formal method includes:

Recruitment Advertising

Internet Recruiting

Employment Agencies

Public Job Service Agencies

Private, For-profit Agencies

Unions

Additional Recruiting Methods

Campus Recruiting

Executive Search Firms etc.

Selection:

Selection the right employees are important for an organization. First own performance always

depends in part on subordinates. Employees with the right skills and attributes will do a better

job for the company. Employees without these skills won’t perform effectively and as a result the

firm will suffer.

Process of selection:

Selection activities typically follow a standard pattern, beginning with an initial screening

interview and concluding with the final employment decision. The selection process typically

consists of eight steps:

Initial screening interview

Completing the application form

Employment test

Comprehensive interview

Background investigation

A Conditional job offer

Medical or physical examination

The permanent job offer.

Initial Screening:

As a conclusion of our recruiting efforts, organization should be prepared to initiate a

preliminary review of potential acceptable candidates. This initial screening is, in effect, a two

steps procedure: (1) the screening of inquiries and (2) the provision of screening interviews.

Completion of the Application Form:

Once the in initial screening has been complicated, applicants are asked to complicate the

organization’s application form. The amount of information required may be only the applicant’s

name, address, telephone number and other information.

Employment tests:

Organization historically relied to a considerable extent on intelligence, aptitude, ability and

interest tests to provide major input to the selection process.

The comprehensive interview:

The applicant may be interviewed by HRM interviewers, senior manager within the

organization, a potential supervisor, potential colleagues or some or all of these.

Background investigation:

The next steps in the process are to undertake a background investigation of those applicants

who appear to offer potential as employees. This can include contacting former employers to

confirm the candidate’s work record and to obtain their appraisal of his or her performance,

contacting other job- related and personal references, verifying the educational accomplishments

shown on the application, checking credit reference and criminal records, and even using third

party investigation, to do the background check.

Conditional job offer:

If a job applicant “passed” each steps of the selection process so far, it is typically customary for

a conditional job offer to be made. Conditional job offers usually are made by an HRM

representative. In essence, what the conditional job offer implies is that if everything checks out

“okay- passing a certain medical, physical or substance abuse test” the conditional nature of the

job offer will be removed and the offer will be permanent.

Physical/ Medical Examination:

Physical exams can only be used as a selection device to screen out those individuals who are

unable to physically comply with the requirements of a job.

Job offer:

Those individual who perform successfully in the preceding steps are now considered to be

eligible to receive the employment offer.

Method of selection:

There are two statistical methods of selection- correlation and regression. Correlation is use to

assess the strength and direction of a relationship between variables, whereas regression makes

use of the relationship to predict scores on one variable from scores on one or more other

variables.

Eligibility Criteria for selection:

QUALIFICATION:

usually dose through newspaper advertisement, where entry-level employees has been recruited.

In the advertisement, criteria are mentioned specially for recruitment. But sometimes they also

recruited experienced people in med level and top level.

Informal method is also true for this bank. In this case they consider the educational level for

entry level i.e. cash officers, junior officers etc. They also recruit mid level people those who are

experienced and good track record. Top level people recruitment also been done on contract

basis.

Chapter 6: HR DEVELOPMENT

Meaning of HR Development:

Employee orientation provides new employees with basic background information they need to

perform their jobs satisfactory, such as information about organizational rules.

Process of Hr Development:

Hr development is actually parts of the employer’s new-employee socialization process.

Socialization is the ongoing process of instilling in all employee the prevailing attitudes,

standard, values, and patterns of behavior that are expected by the organization and its

departments.

Orientation programs range from brief, informal introduction to lengthy, formal programs. In

either, new employees usually get a handbook or printed material that cover things like working

hours, performance reviews, getting on the payroll, and vacations, as well as a tour of the

facilities. Other handbook information typically includes employee benefits, personnel policies,

the employee’s daily routing, company organization and operation, and safety measures and

regulations.

The HR specialist, who explains such matters as working hours and vacations, usually performs

the first parts of the orientation. The employee is then introduced to his or her new supervisor.

The letter continues the orientation by explaining the exact nature of the job, introducing the

person to his or her new colleagues, familiarizing the new employee with the workplace, and

hopefully helping to reduce the new person’s first day jitters.

Why development:

Orientation is helping the new employees, who join the organization. By orientation the

employee will be able to understand the rules and regulations of the organization and also know

about the working hours, working condition, organizational profile etc.

Organization practice:

National Bank of Pakistan arranges the orientation program in a formal way. They invited their

new employees who are selected for the job in a certain place. They inform them about their job

hour, organizational rules and regulations, about their top managements and also their bank’s

profile.

Chapter 6: Training & Development

Training:

Advanced Recruiting Trends offers corporate recruitment teams, third-party agencies, and

individual recruiters a variety of options to access the industry’s most comprehensive and

innovative recruitment training available.

The process of teaching new employees the basic skills they need to perform their jobs.

Training refers to the methods used to give new or present employees the skills they need to

perform their jobs. Training might thus mean showing a machinist how to operate his or her new

machine, a new salesperson how to sell his or her firm’s product, or a new supervisor how to

interview and appraise employees. Training basically provide to the entry-level employees.

On the job training: It means learning by doing. It means employees training completed while

he works. It is basically a practical oriented training program.

Off the job training: It means training provided to the employees out of the office in a training

institute for a particular period of time i.e. for 15 to 20 days. During this time the employee does

not have to go to office.

Development:

Development refer to the growth of an employee for its future prospectus like career

development plan in which company focus how employee develop himself and where he wants

to see after five years

Development basically provide to the management level. Management development is any

attempt to improve managerial performance by imparting knowledge, changing attitudes, or

increasing skills. The ultimate aim of such development programs is, of course, to enhance the

future performance of the organization itself. For this reason, the general management

development process consists.

Assessing the company’s needs (for instance, to fill future executive openings, or to boost

competitiveness),

Appraising the managers’ performance, and then

Developing the managers (and future managers) themselves.

Method of Training and Development:

There are some training and development methods which are given as under:

Training:

On the job training

Apprenticeship training

In formal learning

Job instruction training

Lecture

Program learning

Simulated training

Computer base training

Training via CD-ROOM and internet

Development:

Managerial on the job training

Job rotation

Role playing

Behavior modeling

In house development center

Organizational practice:

Skilled human resource is nucleolus of any service-oriented organization. By keeping this in

mid- level they give priority in human resource development. For human resource development

and making them updated National Bank of Pakistan provide training to its employees

throughout the year in its well-decorated training institute situated on the Islamabad, Lahore and

Karachi (NBP SCHOOL OF TRANING ABD DEVELOPMENT). The institute has own trainer

and also bring specialist as a guest speaker for provide training. Besides employees are also

being sent to foreign countries for better training.

In 2013 there are 1536 employees obtain training from the bank’s training institution at 16th

training schedule. Other hand 881 employees attained training course/ works/ seminar, which

were arranged by BIBM. 91 employees obtain training from NATIONAL BANK OF

PAKISTAN, 334 employees from other training institution, and 1110 employees from foreign

country in 2013.

Chapter 7: Performance Management

OBJECTIVES OF PM:

The major objectives of performance management are discussed below:

To enable the employees towards achievement of superior standards of work

performance.

To help the employees in identifying the knowledge and skills required for performing

the job efficiently as this would drive their focus towards performing the right task in the

right way.

Boosting the performance of the employees by encouraging employee empowerment,

motivation and implementation of an effective reward mechanism.

Promoting a two way system of communication between the supervisors and the

employees for clarifying expectations about the roles and accountabilities,

communicating the functional and organizational goals, providing a regular and a

transparent feedback for improving employee performance and continuous coaching.

Identifying the barriers to effective performance and resolving those barriers through

constant monitoring, coaching and development interventions.

Creating a basis for several administrative decisions strategic planning, succession

planning, promotions and performance based payment.

Promoting personal growth and advancement in the career of the employees by helping

them in acquiring the desired knowledge and skills.

EMPLOYEE REVIEW PROCESS

Business leaders also need to determine what type of review process to implement. There are

different types of employee reviews, including the following:

TOP-DOWN REVIEW:

This performance review is conducted by someone above the employee in rank at the company

this could mean a direct supervisor, manager of a business unit, executive, or all of the above.

Putting a direct supervisor in charge is often the most effective way to assess an employee's

performance and provide valuable feedback as to how they can improve. In larger organizations,

these reviews are sometimes filled out by line supervisors and then conducted by human

resources personnel. Either way, the review often culminates in a discussio n regarding

achievement of pre-determined goals.

PEER REVIEW:

In this case, employees are evaluated by co-workers. The benefit of this type of review is that

peers at the same level as the employee understand the challenges better than someone judging

performance from the top down. The risk is that rivalries can alter performance reviews, if

jealous co-workers review each other more critically, particularly if they are in competition for

promotion or pay raises.

360-DEGREE REVIEW:

Literally, in a 360-degree review, employees are evaluated from all angles -- above, below, and

sideways. That means supervisors, peers, subordinates, and even sometimes customers put in

their two cents about the employee. These types of reviews are often spear-headed by the human

resources department and those giving input are usually allowed to remain anonymous. Critics of

360-degree reviews say that anonymity can pave the way for excessive and sometimes vindictive

criticism and ultimately leave the employee who is the subject of the review feeling under

attack.

SELF-ASSESSMENT:

The employee self-assessment can be used in conjunction with any of the other review processes

listed above. Some companies have found this very useful in that it can help cue managers as to

areas in which an employee can improve and may benefit from training. It can also allow the

employee to undertake some constructive criticism and be more willing to receive feedback from

a manager. Employees, in fact, can sometimes be harder on themselves than their managers are.

But the downside is that an employee's view of their performance sometimes might diverge

greatly from a manager's view, which presents challenges in the review process.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYESTEM OF NBP

There was a general feeling among the staff that the system of performance evaluation prevailing

at the NBP was subjective and did not provide opportunities for improvement and development

of the staff. It was therefore felt necessary to introduce new Performance Management System

aimed at correcting the deficiencies of the existing system.

The present shape of PMS emerged after extensive consultation and feedback received from the

staff. The process started with pre-pilot run and then preceded with focus group presentations,

pilot-run, review committees, HR consultants, training workshops, presentations to HODs &

CMT and post implementation modifications based on stakeholders’ feedback. The aim of

modifications & refinements was to make the system more effective, user friendly and

acceptable in the light of the local culture & environment. The Competency Model for NBP was

considered to be an essential part of PMS. This Model catered for identification & development

of necessary behavioral attributes envisaged for human capital. The development of technical

skills as well as behavioral competencies was necessary to enhance capacity of human capital at

the Bank.

However, some aspects of the program were deferred during the first year for the sake of smooth

implementation. For evaluation purposes, a total of thirty-one behavioral competencies have

been identified. From these competencies, a matrix of 12 to 14 competencies has been developed

for each Department, depending upon the nature of its functions. In each competency matrix,

there are six Core competencies which apply across the board; five competencies are grade

specific while the remaining competencies are functioning specific. The individual departments

can customize these matrices by adjusting the levels and relative weights of each identified

competency according to the hierarchical levels and nature of assignments. Like any other

developmental product, up dates were incorporated as the model was put into action and

feedbacks received during the initial process of implementation. The level-wise selected

competencies have been clearly described in the Competency Dictionary in the form of

observable behaviors to create understanding of terminologies & ensure consistency. The initial

version of Competency Dictionary was revised after taking into account recommendations of the

task force established for its review. Additional enhancements in the Competency Model have

been undertaken to further customize it while using NBP workplace behavioral examples.

PHASES OF PMS IN NBP

In NBP, performance management system phases comprises of five phases which are explained

below:

PERFOMANCE PLANNING PHASE:

This phase involves goal setting and competency setting which is listed in Form-1. These goals

and competencies are set by a mutual agreement between the appraise and appraiser. The goals

are picked from the approved Annual Departmental Business Plan. In case of competencies,

there are three types of core competencies (mandatory for all), role specific and function specific

competencies. The grand total of the goals should be equal to 100. Next training needs are

identified in consultation with the appraiser. The appraise is your immediate boss and the

reviewer will be the person next in the hierarchy. For example, for OG-2, OG-3 or OG-4 the

Appraiser is Divisional Head and the Reviewer is HOD/Director. The form is then sending to the

appraiser then he sends it to HRD or send back to appraise for rework.

PERFOMANCE MANAGING PHASE: The role of appraiser, reviewer and appraise is very important in PMS. The appraiser and

reviewer should guide them and give them feedback of their performance on regular basis.

Career development is the responsibility of employee. He should ask for the feedback on

completion of the task. It is highly recommended for appraises and appraisers both to make use

of STAR Form (attached)to record accomplishments/ critical events throughout the year and use

it at the time of appraisal. STAR stands for situation, actions and results. In case of transfer,

deputation and promotions Form-1 is revised again in consultation with new supervisor. As far

as leaves are concerned, Appraise, Appraiser and Reviewer are all advised to avoid absences

from work and schedule their leaves and official assignments accordingly enabling us to finalize

the PMS Appraisal Phase and subsequent AMI process well in time. If the leaves cannot be

rescheduled then concerned Appraises, Appraisers, and Reviewers are requested to finalize

Appraisal process for that particular employee beforehand, even before the timeline.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW PHASE:

In this phase what the employee actually did is recorded in the Form-II. Actual achievements are

written against goals and behavioral examples against competencies. Following this, an appraisal

interview is conducted and the ratings of goals and competencies are finalized.

Appraiser and Reviewer will evaluate the performance of the appraise on the same form. The

appraise is required to submit Form-II to his/her appraiser, who after the appraisal interview, will

award rating to each goal and competency and record his/her comments.

There are 5 rating levels for goals (outstanding, commendable, competent, marginal and

unsatisfactorily) and 5 levels for competencies (always effective, usually effective, occasionally

effective, rarely effective, never effective). Separate spaces are available for both appraise and

appraiser as a comment box in Form-II for any comments.

PERFORMANCE REWARD PHASE:

Annual Merit Increase (AMI) is given to employees up to OG-7. Employees OG-1 and below are

evaluated and awarded AMI on a different scale. To be eligible for AMI an employee must at

least perform 3 months of satisfactory service.

Bell curve cluster technique is applied to decide the AMI. There are four bell curve categories

A, B+, B, C. Top 15%, Next 25%, next 50% and last 10% fall in each category respectively. Bell

curve is also used for promotion and other HR processes.

APPEALS COMMITTEE:

If an employee is not satisfied with his rating he/she can file an appeal with PMS appeal

committee.HRD shall inform you about the date and time of your appeal interview where you

can discuss your grievances with the panel members of appeal committee.

EFFECTIVE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Any effective performance management system includes the following components:

Performance Planning:

Performance planning is the first crucial component of any performance management process

which forms the basis of performance appraisals. Performance planning is jointly done by the

appraise and also the reviewer in the beginning of a performance session. During this period, the

employees decide upon the targets and the key performance areas which can be performed over a

year within the performance budget, which is finalized after a mutual agreement between the

reporting officer and the employee.

Performance Appraisal and Reviewing:

The appraisals are normally performed twice in a year in an organization in the form of mid

reviews and annual reviews which is held in the end of the financial year. In this process, the

appraise first offers the self-filled up ratings in the self-appraisal form and also describes his/her

achievements over a period of time in quantifiable terms. After the self-appraisal, the final

ratings are provided by the appraiser for the quantifiable and measurable achievements of the

employee being appraised. The entire process of review seeks an active participation of both the

employee and the appraiser for analyzing the causes of loopholes in the performance and how it

can be overcome. This has been discussed in the performance feedback section.

Feedback on the Performance followed by personal counseling and

performance facilitation:

Feedback and counseling is given a lot of importance in the performance management process.

This is the stage in which the employee acquires awareness from the appraiser about the areas of

improvements and also information on whether the employee is contributing the expected levels

of performance or not. The employee receives an open and a very transparent feedback and along

with this the training and development needs of the employee is also identified. The appraiser

adopts all the possible steps to ensure that the employee meets the expected outcomes for an

organization through effective personal counseling and guidance, mentoring and representing the

employee in training programs which develop the competencies and improve the overall

productivity.

Rewarding good performance:

This is a very vital component as it will determine the work motivation of an employee. During

this stage, an employee is publicly recognized for good performance and is rewarded. This stage

is very sensitive for an employee as this may have a direct influence on the self esteem and

achievement orientation. Any contributions duly recognized by an organization helps an

employee in coping up with the failures successfully and satisfies the need for affection.

Performance Improvement Plans:

In this stage, fresh set of goals are established for an employee and new deadline is provided for

accomplishing those objectives. The employee is clearly communicated about the areas in which

the employee is expected to improve and a stipulated deadline is also assigned within which the

employee must show this improvement. This plan is jointly developed by the appraise and the

appraiser and is mutually approved.

Potential Appraisal:

Potential appraisal forms a basis for both lateral and vertical movement of employees. By

implementing competency mapping and various assessment techniques, potential appraisal is

performed. Potential appraisal provides crucial inputs for succession planning and job rotation.

Organizational practice:

NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN partially follows Graphic Rating Scale method. Here each

individual have different format for appraising. Almost junior to senior employees have similar

format to fill in but there is some exception for the senior level. The format is designed in the

way like Fist page has to be filled up by the employees by himself but they have to sign in all the

pages. There is point system for appraising employees. For example, if the employees have

Banking Diploma they get additional point and the M.B.A degree holders get more marks than

the Graduate and Masters pass holders. There is also provision for marks for the employees those

who can bring more deposit or bring good customer. By considering all these, Divisional Head

put marks and evaluate each employee. After that the appraisal form will send to Human

Resource Department. Usually HRD receives this form from all over the country. After received

completely all the forms they make it ready for the final evaluation for the top management.

Usually there exists evaluation team where they finally select the deserving candidates. After that

a list has been sent to the Board for the final approval.

Chapter 8: Compensations, Rewards and Benefits

Compensation:

Employee compensation refers to all forms of pay or rewards going to employee and arising

from their employment, and it has two main components. There are direct financial payments in

the form of wages, salaries, incentives, commissions, and bonus and there are indirect payment

in the form of financial benefits like employer- paid insurance and vacations.

Reward:

Reward basically provided to the employees of the organization for their good performance. It is

of two types (1) Intrinsic and (2) Extrinsic.

1 Intrinsic Reward:

It is the personal satisfactions one gets from the job itself. These are self-initiated rewards, such

as having pride in one’s work.

2 Extrinsic Reward:

It includes money, promotions and benefit. Their common thread is that they are external to the

job and come from outside source, mainly management.

Benefits:

Benefits include mandatory protection programs, pay for time not worked, optional protection

programs, private retirement plans and a wide variety of other services.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

Compensation and benefits provided

Base Pay

Overtime Pay

Travel/Meal/Housing Allowance

Benefits including: dental, insurance, medical, vacation, leaves, retirement.

Staff Loan Policy

Facility Of Bank’s Car & Petrol Ceiling

Medical Facilities

Telephone Charges At Residence

Facility Of Newspapers & Journal

Family Pension

LEAVE ENTITLEMENT

NBP is providing a various benefits to their employees such as leave benefits and advances. In

leave benefits every employee has two leave accounts: RLA & SLA.

Employee cannot obtain only medical or sick leave , they have various reasons of leave such as

attend party, attend seminar, outstation leave, domestic problems, R & R leave etc.

Employee can avail leave facility for perform of Hajj.

NBP also provide Rest and recreation 15 days leave to their employees. R and R leave avail once

in a year. In NBP female employees is also availing female leave facility maternity and ideate

leave. Maternity leave can avail thrice during whole period of job.

Formally, the Employee Recognition Policy and Program encompasses four types of recognition

levels, based on the achievement of the individuals/teams. These are:

far behind in marketing effort .A need for aggressive marketing in there in the era marketing in

now becoming a part of every organization.

NBP UNDER POLITICAL PRESSURE

The strong political hold of some parties and government and their dominance is affecting the

bank in a negative way. They sometime have to provide loan under the pressure, which leads to

uneven and adjusted feeling in the bank employees.

FAVORITISM AND NEPOTISM

The promotions and bonuses etc in the bank are often powered by senior’s favoritism or depends

upon their wills and decision. This adds to the negative factors, which denominate the employees

thus resulting in affecting their performance negatively.

LACK OF FINACIAL PRODUCT

The bank falls far behind when the innovative and new schemes are considered. It has not been

involved in the tug of war between the competitors to the accounts and strengthens the existing

customer base. This stands out to be the major incompetence and weakness of the banks.

INEFFICIENT COUNTER SERVICES IN THE RUSH HOURS

During the rush hours, the bank is founded out to be a total flop to handle the mob of people

peaking from windows and doors. The bank has deficiency to operate in the stages of rush hours

where the people find them services entangled in a situation of nowhere because they are not

well served.

LACK OF COMPUTERIZED NETWORK

The bank lack the strength of being powered by the network of computers, which have saved

time, energy and would have lessened the mental stress, the employees have currently. This

would add to the strength if it were powered by network of computers.

LACK OF MODERN EQUIPMENT

The bank lacks the modern Equipment that is not counting machine computers. Even if there is

any equipment they lack to fall in the criteria of being rearmed as update and upgraded

UNEVEN WORK DISTIBUTION

The workload in NBP is not evenly distributed and the workload tends to be more on some

employees while others abscond away from their responsibilities, which server as a

demonization factor for employees performing above average work.

OPPORTUNITIES

The world today has become a global village because of advancement in the technologies,

especially in communication sector. More emphasis is now given to avail the modern

technologies to better the performances. NBP can utilize the electronic banking opportunity to

ensure on line banking 24 hours a day. This would give a competitive edge over others.

MICRO FINANCING

Because of the need for micro financing in the market, there are lot of opportunities in this

regard. Other banks have already initiated, now the time has arrived when the NBP must realize

it and take on step to cater an ongoing demand.

THREATS

EMERGENCE OF NEW COMPETITORS

The bank is facing threats with the emergence of new competitors especially in terms of foreign

banks. These foreign banks are equipped with heavy financial power with excellent and

innovative ways of promoting and performing their services. The bank has to take initiative in

this regard or will find itself far back in competition.

POLITICAL PRESSURE BY ELECTED GOVERNMENT

The ongoing shift in power in political arena in the country effects the performance of the bank

has to forward loans to politically powerful persons which create a sense of insecurity and

demoralization in the customer as well as employees.

DOWNSIZING

The bank is currently acting upon the policy of downsizing which threaten the environment of

the bank Employees feel insecurity in doing their jobs and work, hence affecting the overall

performance of employees negatively.

CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS

There exists no regular and specific system of the removal of customer complaints. Now a day a

need for total customer satisfaction is emerging and in their demanding consequences customer's

complaints are ignored

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

Porter’s five forces model:

This approach is widely used for competitive analysis. It is because of the high intensity of

competition among companies there five main competitive forces.

Rivalry among competitive firms:

It is a very powerful force among the competitive forces the strategies pursued by one firm can

be successful only to extent that they provide competitive advantages over the competitor. These

competitive strategies may be lowering prices, best quality series. The NBP offering very low

charges an demand draft, telegraphy transfer, mail transfer and give other additional services to

the customers and to the Nation. Because NBP is a “Nation’s Bank”.

Potential entry of new competitors:

Whenever new firms can easily enters a particular industry, the competition increases. The gout

restriction, tariffs, patents etc can stop new firm to enter into the business as per Banking

industry is concerned this market is already very situated in Pakistan and there are banks with

quality services and low charges. So there is no threat to NBP from potential entry and NBP is

also a public sector bank because of that no other new bank not takes over it.

Potential Development of substitute products:

This is the third factor affecting the competitions. There may be some other product can be

substitute the product of that industry. For example banks offering sawing schemes in Pakistan

and these schemes are also offered by GPOs in Pakistan so they must compete them in this field.

If they offer low rates than GPOs so people will go to deposit in GPOs. People concentration

high rates so that’s why sawing PLS accounts are more than current accounts. The next examples

will ATM which substitute presenting cheques at counter and encash it. The NBP is lacking in

this field. It must improve in this field to compete the competitors.

Bargaining Power of Suppliers:

The bargaining power of supplier affects the intensity of competition, especially when there are a

large number of suppliers. In case of banks the suppliers are customers they supply the money to

banks. Now they must offer good services, quality, and safety. Low charges etc to customers. In

this field NBP is very good. B/C at offers good quality services to customers. They charge low

charges on remittances. So that’s it is competitions other banks.

Bargaining Power of Consumers:

When customers are concentrated or large, or buy in volume, their bargaining power

represents a major force affecting intensity of competition. Now the number customers in

Pakistan for banks are very high. Banks offering variety of products and services to their

customers. NBP have a large number of customs. Now it must offer good services and products

to their customers to attract them to come to NBP.
