already computerized all of its Branches from day one of its opening. However, under a

comprehensive strategy of 3-phase state-of-the-art automation program, the Bank, in its

first phase, has connected all the branches through Wide Area Network using VSAT,

3.12 Performance Appraisal System (PAS)

Performance appraisal system is the tool by which we measure the performance of and individuals and identity the gaps and plan future development in order to enable a better feet between the jobs and the incumbent organizations require consistent levels of high performance from their employee in order to survive in a highly competitive environment, performance refers to an employees accomplishment of assigned tasks. Performance meaning do a job effectively and efficiently.

PA is a process of evaluating an employee’s performance of a job in terms of its requirements. It provides the basis for assessment of employee contribution, coaching for improved performance and distribution of economic rewards. It refers to the outcome of the behavior of employees. This performance appraisal means deciding the value of word done by an individual. It is a process by which organizations evaluate individual job performance.

43

3.13 Method of PA

Setting Performance Standard:

The appraisal process begins with establishment of performance standards in accordance with the organization’s strategic goals. Appraisal system required performance standards, which serve as benchmarks against which performance is measured. To be effective standards should relate to the desired result of each job. Job analysis uncovers specific performance standards by analyzing the performance of current employees. If performance standards are not job related, the evaluation can lead to inaccurate or biased results, harming the managers’ relationship with them employees and violating equal environment opportunity rulings.

Communicating Performance Expectation:

Once performance standards are set, it is necessary to communicate these expectations, it should not be part of the employee’s job to guess what is expected of them. Employees can be involved in setting standards. It is important to note the communication is a two way street: mere transference of information from the supervisor to the employees regarding expectation is not communication. To make communication effective, feedback is necessary from the subordinates to the manager.

Measuring Actual Performance :

44

The next stapes in the appraisal performance is the measurement of performance. To determine, what actual performance is, it is necessary to acquire information about it. We should be concerned with how we measure and what we measure. Four common sources of performance:-

- Personal Observation.

- Statistical Reports.

- Oral Reports.

- Written Reports.

Comparing actual Performance with the Standards:

The fourth step is the comparison of actual performance with standards. The point of this step is to note deviations between standard performances and actual performance so that we can proceed to the fifth step in the process - the discussion of the appraisal with the employees.

Discussing the Appraisal results:

A necessary requirement of the appraisal process is employee feedback through an evaluation interview. Evaluation interview are performance review sessions that give employees essential feedback about their past performance or future potential. Without feedback, improvement in human behavior is not likely and HR department will not have accurate records in its HR Information System on which to base decisions ranging have accurate records in its HR information system on which to base decisions ranging from job design to compensation. The evaluator may provide this feedback through several approaches: tell and sell, tell and listen and problem solving. Managers must create a supportive environment to put employee at case. Presenting an accurate assessment to the employee is challenging tasks.

Initiative Corrective Actions :

The final step in the appraisal is the identification of corrective action where necessary. Corrective actions can be of two types: One is immediate and deals with symptoms, and the other is basic, which deals with causes.

Here we mention the following bases of promotion are used in this organization Seniority, loyalty, Seniority and Performance, Efficiency, Seniority and Efficiency. This organization have career counseling program. This senior member of this organization play mentoring role to guide juniors in building their career. Communication is the bridge it is the principle of the organization.

Findings of the Study

Findings of the Study

52

Exim Bank mainly concentrated on Export & Import business.

This Bank helps that customer who is engaged in export & import business.

General banking side provides different types of deposit & credit department extend loan facilities to the general customer.

It follows the Islamic rules in every part of general banking.

The HRD system of Exim Bank Ltd is not skilled enough and does not follow latest technology.

In HR Division, there is the huge lack of development activity. The employee joining Exim Bank should be taken under a cordial orientation program which is absent.

Proper training is very important issue for the employees of Financials organization. In Exim Bank proper training need requirement is not justified rather done by the employee’s personal interest.

Employee’s code of conduct or service manual is governed solely by the service quality unit. But there should be a coordination of HRD to measure the perfect evaluation of the employees’ performance.

Conclusion&Recommendation

54

8.1 Conclusion

Lot of new commercial bank have been established in last few years and these banks have made this sector very competitive. So new banks have to organize their operations according to the need of the market. Banking sectors no more depends on a traditional method of banking. In this competitive world, this sector has trenched its wings wide enough to cover any kind of financial service anywhere in this world. The major task for banks to survive in this competitive environment is by managing its assets and liabilities in an efficient way.

This report has tried to present the HR practices in Exim Bank ltd. in comparison to its closet competitor in the same industry. From the analysis we found the HRD system is a very satisfactory one.

There is something problem with Human Resources Department. If the entire HRD system is not fully computerized then they cannot easily complete their recruitment process by short span of time.

Due to lack of established networking system with their branches, then it can not easily transfer data within short time. So the HR department should be given the proper training to the employees by regular basis. Performance evaluation of employees is not done properly.

Top management handles the recruitment process and they have the power to fire anybody in ant time.

8.2 Recommendations

As I have gone through all the departments under Human Resources Management, I have come up with some points, which can improve the efficiency as well as quality of the work. Though the bank was found as a productive concern, the study reveals that the bank could do much more if it was handled more efficiently. However, some steps may be taken to improve the efficiency and to increase the performance of the bank in future which are given below-

Setting proper planning for each and every work as well as for the whole department

Designing jobs on priority basis

Assigning necessary manpower for every job

The bank should develop their communication process between branches

Proper managerial observation and cooperation is required

55

Improve the knowledge of the system through training

Avoiding duplication of work through better communication

Developing motivational program

And most all change of managerial attitude and view point

For the selection of the industrial projects proper study should be conducted in time properly

The bank should increase the total number of trained employee year by year.

The bank should also introduce gain-sharing approaches to motivate its employees. Non-monetary incentives might be a great motivation for the officers and service workers.

The bank does not have any practice of “Human Resource Survey”, which is a negative point for the bank’s Administrative Department. Therefore, this practice should be introduced to the bank’s HRM policies.

The bank may provide insurance benefits (especially health-related and life insurance) to the employees as an additional motivating factor.

At present, the bank does not have any systematic practice of employee counseling. Such a practice might be beneficial to the employees.
