SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

At the end of everything , it needs suggestions andrecommendations. According to our judgment the following are the suggestions and recommendations.

As UBL is expending with it network 1058 branches, it should be beneficial for the bank to computerized all the branches and earn more than before.

It should be necessary for the UBL that for the old employees training session for well grooming, because even they don’t know that how to deal with new technology.

UBL should be appointing at least one HR officer at hub level for dealing HR related work.

As UBL have well in IT sections, we think they can develop their own ATM network as M.net and 1 link.

The ATM machine is some times in small cities remain disturb that’s why customer become dissatisfied, if UBL have its own network related ATM than this problem should solve.

Conclusion

UBL is a strong, durable and innovative financial entity.
