10.6.1-Employees job changes The job changes have two major parts in LESCO.
Now all of these explain according to the LESCO practical study. 10.7.1- Promotion(up) promoted employees usually assume greater responsibility and authority in return for higher pay, benefits and privileges. In LESCO promotions are very important as other organizational decisions. The promotions of individuals employees are within organization it's depend on the ability ,situation, and seniority of employees.
10.72-Transfers(OVER) Transfer means to relocations of employees from one place to other place it may be within the organization. LESCO uses the transfer of employees within the organization and it depends on the base of promotion and ability. If promotes an employee then HRD transfer the employee some other department but it depends employee skills and ability. 10.7.3-Demotions(DOWN) Demotion means cut in pays, status, privileges or opportunities, it depends on the inefficiency and undermined moral of a work group. In LESCO demotion is not applied on the contractual employees. But the permanent based employees are comes in the demotion.
10.8-SAPARATIONS
A separation of job is another important aspect in employee's career .Separation of job has four different kinds which are very important career point of view. 10.8.1-Layoffs(OUT) The first form of separation is layoff .Inventory layoffs are never pleasant, and management policies must consider the impact on those who leave, on those who stay on the local community and on the company. Some time layoff is used for avoiding of disputes and duplications.
LASCO layoff its worker on the basis of violations of policies fraudulent , creating conflict between employees and management , not come in time office ,again and again not achieve timely goals. 10.8.2-Termination(OUT) Termination means death of the project , or end of the project. LESCO uses the termination process only when contract has been finished .In termination the major problem is two bosses problems .During termination LESCO, HRD keep in mind about the loyalty ,trust ,teamwork , and services of employees and how much is motivated. 10.8.3-Resignation(OUT) Resignation means voluntary worker turnover or means voluntary employee leave the job. We know the career is nothing it is just a chance. So the employees of LASCO have the right to resignation his own job.
LESCO uses employees involvement for better labor relations. Employees involvement comes in LESCO through empowerment(the level of empowerment is decision making at area level, and lower level employees annual performance report writing and specific funds usage powers)evaluation for performance for promotion , reduce conflict , and self managing. 2-Empowered team LESCO empowered his contract team through the responsibilities and decision making power. It's reduce the conflict between the management and labor. 3-Employee involvement through co-management LESCO uses the co-management during meeting for new objectives. LESCO invites the employees and arrange the meeting and then resolve the conflict, because the employees involves at top level.
The analysis of the theoretical concepts relating to the practical experience got during the internship with the LESCO on different areas. However following is the gist of the analysis. 1.Strengths
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
During my practical study I found the HR planning process at LESCO. Issues analysis Forecasting analysis Action plans LESCO uses the recruitment and selection process LESCO uses the training and development process
2.Weaknesses 1. 2. 3. 4. Not using the training properly at area level. The ways of presentation for training and development is not proper. HR department is not focusing on all the sector of country Communication is too much poor between the department.
3.Opportunties LESCO has the following opportunities for leading organization. 1. Uses benchmark and gain competitive advantage at global level. 2. Make up more areas for services. 3. It is government organization so the people trust more and they are providing their services at every level. 4. Now LESCO using the opportunities for risk management. And introducing the new services. 4.Threats 1. Terrorism in country is the major threat for customer as well as LESCO. 2. Unsustainable political condition of country and fear of change of policies.
12- CONCLUSIONS
Conclusion is a very important part of the theory and practical study. Conclusion tells us about the nutshell about the study. Yet HRMD has been successful retaining its employees by offering some additional incentives programs. LESCO organizational structure is showing the centralize decision making power .These decisions are made at top to bottom level. HRMD is working very efficiently within and outside the organization .And it uses the both kind of sources of candidate's internal and external sources .No compromise with his aims of quality and different kinds of award like as , ISO,9001 , annual achievement awards 2010,2011,2012,2013.
LESCO has clearly defined objectives and is clearly communicated to each employee through human resource department.
14-RECOMMENDATIONS
At the end I am a student of MBA suggests the following recommendation for the betterment of LESCO system of human resource department. Those suggestion are these. LESCO enhance their services and established their more local offices at ruler areas. When they enhance rural offices also increase their business volume. LESCO must use the group level training need assessment, because the work is in the form of service ,and they are working as a group at different areas .So for better employee development it use for training. Organizational structure should be decentralized. This will solve the problems of imbalance and gap the responsibilities and authorities of lower administration this way, lower and middle administrative can be made responsible and authoritative. This will also enable them to make unique and creative decisions. LESCO must try to use the quality work life program for check and balance their performance of services. For the program of compensation they must try to follow the compensation program of other organization as well as market position , of their own organization. LESCO is market leader so they must produced the market follower , whose follow them in their own policies and procedure of HR department.
