INTRODUCTION
Personal Management has great relevance to PES in view of
their large size and complexity of organization, and also because of the need
to manage them professionally. Personnel Management aims at acquiring
capable people for achieving the objectives of the organization and for
ensuring that their efforts are utilized effectively. The personnel management
is perennially a matter of dealing face to face with people.It helps
management, supervisors and workers of understand each others point of
view. The various functions of personnel department include recruitment,
selection placement, promotion, training and development, performance
evaluation, wage and salary administration , motivation etc. Success and
Survival are the basic necessities for any business organization. Companies
adopt various methods and procedures to attain them. No business is left
without competition and competitors. So a s to overcome the innumerable
hurdles of the business world organizations undertake actions like cost -
cutting, inventory control, quality control, etc. Reducing human resource
through VRS (Voluntary Retirement Scheme) and CRS (Compulsory
Retirement Scheme) are the latest focused areas for attaining the goal of
becoming the leader in the market for the organizations both in Public as well
as in Private sector.
In this perspective, retaining the skilled persons has become the tough
job in front of the HR Professionals. Identification of the talent in the
individual is the main task for which several methods adopted like
8/7/2019 BEL-MC1 new
8/66
Performance Appraisal, BARS (Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale),
Graphic Rating Method, Confidential Report and so on.
These methods provide a scope for the Human Resource Department in
assessing the potential of the individuals so that the right candidates are
bestowed with the organization.
This project work covers all the above aspects and mainly focuses on
the Grievances and disciplinary actions. Efficient Grievance management is
an important part of the Human resource management. Maintenance of
harmonious human relations in an organization depends upon the promotion
and maintenance of positive discipline. This project work deals with a study
of Bharat Electronics Ltd. BEL manufactures basic communication
equipment for the defense sector. One of its corporate value is Employees
are the most important resource. The company will treat them with respect
and dignity and will create an environment in which they can realize their full
potential. To achieve greater heights, practical study of the personnel
functions is necessary. This project aims at studying exactly the same thing
NEED FOR THE STUDY
The survival of any organization also relies on its human resource.
Now days, Human Resource is also considered as an asset of the
organization. Culture of the organization depends on the employees working
in it. So human resource should be trained and retained in order to attain the
organizational goals.For this purpose, the individual skills have to be
analyzed and the right candidates should be identified to serve future needs.
Performance evaluation of the employees can be undertaken with the help of
methods like Graphic Rating Method, BARS, Performance Appraisal, etc.
8/7/2019 BEL-MC1 new
9/66
These methods assist in estimating the potentialities and capabilities of the
employees working in the organization.
Any method of performance evaluation succeeds when the
management views it seriously and at the same time participation of the
employees will also show its impact on the outcome of the programmed and
the expected results.
So, when the employees feel the importance of these programmes, the extent
of involvement varies. And this gives the expected results to the organization.
With this intention, the project work was carried to study the satisfaction
levels of the employees and need of revising the existing method of ap praisal.
OBJECTIVES
i) To study the present performance appraisal system and its
drawbacks in evaluating the employees potentialities.
ii) To collect information about job description and job
specification of the various designations in the organization.
iii) To suggest the best possible alternative method in e valuating
individuals competencies so as to overcome the limitations being
observed in the present appraisal system.
Objectives of the Project work
The purpose of this project work is to gain working knowledge of personnel
functions and to discover answer to questions through the application of
scientific procedures.
8/7/2019 BEL-MC1 new

Objectives of recruitment
To attract people with multi-dimensional skills and experience that suits the
present and future organizational strategies
To induct out sides with anew perspective to lead the company
To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization
To develop an organizational culture that attracts competent people to the
company
To devise methodologies for assessing psychological traits
To seek out non conventional development grounds of talent
Objective HRD
In the context of present day competitive situation s in business, the quality
of human capital of an organization determines the degree of success, which
it can achieve. Since there is keen competition for human resources and not
only the competition for customers, the human capital can be cr eated within
the organization and not acquired from outside. From this point of view,
HRD has created its own needs in every organization. In particular, HRD is
needed for the following
y To develop competencies.
y System wide changes
y To create conductive Organizational climate
Objectives of grievance process
To avoid serious disturbances of the working conditions and employees
Conformity to legal Provisions
8/7/2019 BEL-MC1 new
11/66
It serves as a check on the arbitrary actions of the management because
supervisors know that employees are likely to see to it that their protest does
reach the higher management
It serves as an outlet for an employee gripes, discontent and frustrations.
It is not possible that all the complaints of the employees would be settled by
first time supervisors, for these supervisors may not have had a proper
training for the purpose, and they may lack authority moreover, there may be
personality conflicts and other causes as well.
Objectives of disciplinary mechanism
To maintain peace, prevent anarchy; regulate behavior of people and to hold
the pieces together. Moreover disciplinary measures ensure just and equal
treatment to all employees, efficient two -way communication encourages
cooperation and builds team spirit. Disciplinary rules regulate the beh avior of
the employees in an organization as the law regulates the behavior of the
people in the society.
I have come across all the human resource practices with these objectives are
covered in this project work
Significance of the project work
All progress in born of inquiry Doubt in after better than over
confidence for at leads to inquiry, and inquiry leads to invention.
8/7/2019 BEL-MC1 new
12/66
There has been a phenomenal growth in employment, wages, benefits,
working conditions, status of the worker, educational facilities etc. with the
growth and spread of industry. Moreover career patterns have also changed
widely by providing change. This has been possible only through fast
industrial development, which, in its term, depends on industrial peace
Machinery for maintenance of industrial peace
(a)Machinery for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes in the
form of
Legislative and administrative enactment
Works committees and joint management councils
Conciliation Officer and board of conciliation
Labour courts, industrial tribunals, and courts of enquiry
Provisions for voluntary arbitration
Management of disputes focuses on collectivity of individuals. The real test
real test whether dispute is an industrial dispute or not depends whether a
majority or a large number of workmen are involved in the dispute. May
become an industrial dispute
Prevention of industrial dispute is a proactive approach in which an
organization under takes various actions through which the emergence of
industrial disputes is prevented. Such actions may relate to the adoption of
effective human resource practices right from recruitment of employees to
their integration to their organization
A dispute to be caught at the early stage
there should be an effective grievance proc ess and disciplinary mechanism,
because a dispute is basically a grievance and then it leads to indiscipline

LIMITATIONS
The major limitation of the project work under study is time, since it
is to be completed with in a period of two months and this time
period may not be sufficient to undertake a comprehensive study.
The performance evaluation study is designed on a broad perspective
to cover the needs and opinions of majority of the employees and
does not represent individual views.
Thisstudy is exclusively from Bharat Electronics Ltd., Machilipatnam
and the results cannot be extrapolated to other organizations.
Being a project student, it created some hurdles in getting the true
feedback from the respondents.

SUMMARY
At present, there are three legislations dealing with grievances of
employees working in industries. The industrial employement (standing
orders) Act, 1946, requires that every establishment employing 100 or more
workers should frame standing orders. These should contain, among other
things,a provision for redressal of grievance of workers against un fair
treatment and wrongful exactions by the employer or his agents
At present, Indian industries are adopting either the Model Grievance
Procedure or procedures formulated by themselves with modifications in theModel Grievance Procedure.
Now days in public sector organization most of the problems are
happening because of the large number of employees. The government to
provide employment for the people runs public s ectors. Public sectors are
facing so many problems in grievance procedures and disciplinary
procedures. Public sectors are unable to put forward grievance procedures as
private sectors. Lacks of knowledge employees are not following the
management policies and procedures.
Bharat Electronics Limited as a public sector organization has a good
grievance procedure disciplinary procedure. Employees are very much
interested to follow the management policies and procedures. Management is
always available to the employees to clarify their problems in their work.
BEL follows the total quality approach. Its TQM is in production and also in
human resources. So there is a least chance to held grievances in
implementing the management policies.
