Chapter-1

IntroductionBank is the life-blood of the modern economy. Bank is a financial institution, which deals with

the money of the people. There are different types of banks like Central bank, Commercial bank,

Savings bank, Investment bank, Merchant bank, Co-operative bank etc. when we use the term

bank it generally means ‘Commercial Banks’ which collect the deposit from the surplus unit of

the society and then lends the deposits to the deficit units. Trustworthiness is the main

prerequisite to establish a bank. Banks are playing major role to the economic development of

the country through the creation of savings, mobilization of savings through lending in the

profitable sectors. Besides these two activities, now a days banks are providing various service to

its clients. Specially, assistance in foreign exchange, discounting bills, creation of loan deposit,

collection and payment of money on behalf of clients, purchase and sale of shares and securities,

under-writing shares and debentures, safe custody of money and wealth, money transfer,

counseling and issue of bank solvency certificate etc. All these activities help an economy to

grow faster. People i.e., the employees of the organization do all these activities. In a bank, there

are some critical things to understand. For this reason, highly educated, efficient and dedicated

personnel are required to run a bank in this competitive era. So, Human Resource Management

(HRM) is very important to every organization including banks. The success of every

organization depends on human resources. Therefore, employees must be qualified and

motivated enough to achieve the mission and vision and to create and retain competitive position

in the market

1.1 Background of the report:

It is an obligatory requirement of BBA students to be attached to an organization to gain

practical knowledge about the administration and other related issues. This process is called

internship. My internship is completed at IFIC bank Ltd, Nayapaltan branch. After the

completion of the internship, an internship report is needed to be prepared and submitted to the

supervisor. That is why this report is prepared, as part of the academic requirement.

1.2 Statement of the problem:

It is not possible to run any organization without man. So every organization has men or Human

Resource. Dealing with Human Resource (HR) is never an easy task to do. To manage and

develop them successfully, the Human Resource Management (HRM) activities are very

important to every organization. The importance of HRM is also the same in the banking sector

or even may be even more than any other organization. As a student of Management my focus

goes to the management issues, particularly on HRM issues in the banking sectors in

Bangladesh. Therefore my study navigated toward the problem and prospect of IFIC bank Ltd.,

Nayapaltan branch. Especially I have focused problems associated with the HRM policy of bank,

job satisfaction level of the employees, compensation, promotion, training, organizational

cultures etc.

1.3 Objective of the study:

The main objective is to analyze HRM prospects and to find the different problems associated

with different HRM activities. Specially:

• To find out different problems of HRM activities

To judge the employees’ job satisfaction level

To seek different problems of the employees in the banking sectors

To identify the reasons for which the problems are created

To search ways to solve the problems of the organization

To provide suggestions to solve problems of the employees and the banks

1.4 Limitations of the study:

Nothing is beyond limitations. Everywhere and in every task there must have some sort of

limitations. I also faced some problems at the time of preparing my internship report as well.

The limitations are:

Lack of availability of data

Shortage of time

Company’s restrictions to disclose all information

Perceptual difference of the employees to measure job satisfaction

5.02 The Academy

At the very beginning, the bank laid a foundation by setting up an academy at Head Office under

Human Resource Division to develop human resource internally. Equipped with a professional

library, modern training aids, professional faculty and other facilities, the Academy of the bank

is a leading one among the banks in private sector. The Academy regularly conducts foundation

courses, specialized courses and seminars in different areas of banking to take care of the

professional needs. In addition, officers are regularly sent to Bangladesh Institute of Bank

Management (BBIM) and Bangladesh Bank training Academy for professional training. Sending

officers abroad for higher training is a regular feature. A Research Department also works in aid

of HRD and other operational areas. The Academy has to its credit the experience of conducting

several courses for the officers of the Bank of Maldives (BML) and Nepal-Bangladesh Bank

Limited. In addition, it built up the training system for the Bank of Maldives Limited.

The academy activities

IFIC Bank Academy, established in 1983 as in- house training institution, takes care of

the training need of the employees of the Bank. The objectives of the Academy are to:

experience/demonstration/ project visit for efficient operations;

Develop analytical & decision making skills of the officers;

Develop understanding about human/conceptual skill and organizational cultures;

Impart managerial skills to groom future Executives and to keep existing Executives up-

to-date with national and international environment.

Types of Programs

For fresher’s, Foundation Courses on elementary knowledge of banking are organized.

Specialized Courses on the areas like Credit, Foreign Exchange, Accounts, Inspection, marketing

etc. are meant for officials working in those areas. Senior level courses are run on specific

knowledge area. Certain courses are a blend of different knowledge areas. In addition, certain

priority programs are also being conducted by the Academy. These include program on Anti-

Page 26: Ific Final

Methods in training include:

Discussion Lecture

Workshop Case study

Games Role play

Film show Simulation

On-The-Job Training

Foundation courses have two parts: theoretical training in the Academy and job rotation. The

officers on probation are requested to undergo both in a period of one tear. During this period,

three-phased training program is effective. On theoretical training in, say, General Banking the

officers are required to undergo rotation in General banking activities under the supervision of

the HRDD. Similar process is followed in case of Credit & Foreign exchange. They report to the

HRDD weekly about the progress in rotation when problem-oriented discussion takes place for

better understanding.

Faculty

THE Academy has built up a pool of professional trainers within the Bank. In addition to

permanent and professional trainers, speakers are drawn from operational side so that on-the-job

experience may be exchanged and shared. Over and above, speakers from Central Bank,

professional training institutions, universities, research organizations, and Govt. organizations

are also invited to share views and experience. Senior and retired bankers are also regularly

invited to enhance effectiveness of training.

Library

The Academy has a good collection of books, journals, magazines. The books are mainly on

subjects like Banking, Economics, Accounting, Management and Marketing etc. as on

December31, 2006 the library had 5,461 books/titles. The books are issued to the employees

usually for one month. In 1988, the Academy undertook steps to build up Mini Libraries at all

26

materials for updating and upgrading their knowledge.

Branches are supplied with books /journals etc. for their Mini Libraries from time to time.

Analysis of the figure:

a stands for very high level of job satisfaction.

b stands for high level of job satisfaction.

c stands for moderate level of job satisfaction.

d stands for low level of job satisfaction.

e stands for very low of job satisfaction.

Here, out of 27 employees:

Two employees have very high job satisfaction.

Nine employees have high job satisfaction.

Fourteen employees have moderate level job satisfaction.

One employee has low level job satisfaction.

One employee has very low level job satisfaction.

Most of the employees have moderate level of job satisfaction.

Calculation of Mean:

Here, score is given based on the satisfaction level of the employees:

Score: Table: 5.7

Criteria scorea Very high 5b High 4c Moderate 3d Low 2e Very low 1

The value of mean says about the average job satisfaction level of the employees.

The formula of Mean (X):

Mean (X) = ∑ X N

Summation ( ∑) ∑=27 ∑=91

Page 36: Ific Final

= ∑ 91 27

=3.37

Here, the value of mean is 3.37. The value lies in between 4 & 3 i.e., high satisfaction &

moderate satisfaction. Now it can be said that the most of the employees are satisfied. Their

satisfaction level is more than moderate. So, it is good for the employees & the Banks as well.

Calculation of the Standard Deviation:

Standard deviation says about the homogeneity of the data. The standard deviation should be as

low as possible. Lower standard deviation indicates higher reliability of the data.

How is Standard deviation calculated?

Dividing the square value of the mean deviation by the total number of Samples (N), we can get

variance (σ2).

Standard deviation (σ) is the square root of the variance.

The formula of standard deviation (σ):

Standard deviation (σ): √ ∑(X-X)2 N

Page 37: Ific Final

Standard deviation (σ): √ ∑(X-X)2×N N

= √ 18.30

27

= √.677

σ = .82

Here, Mean (X) is 3.37 and standard deviation σ = .82. Standard deviation very lower than the

mean (X). So, data is reliable and decision will be more appropriate here.

Calculation of the Coefficient of Variation (CV):

Coefficient of Variation (CV) says about the percentage deviation of standard deviation from the

Mean.

Coefficient of Variation (CV): σ × 100

Mean (X)

= .82 × 100

3.37s

= 82

3.37

= 24.33 %

Here, the Coefficient of Variation (CV) is 24.33%. The Coefficient of Variation (CV) should be

less than 50% to be better & reliable data. Since Coefficient of Variation (CV) is 24.33%, data is

more reliable & consistent.

Recommendations & Conclusion

6.1 Problems and Recommendations

41

Page 42: Ific Final

Problem: Bank job is very challenging and stressful, especially in the top-level position.

Suggestion: Organization should take initiative to motivate its employees to work more and to

achieve its objectives and to take steps to remove stress and to manage stress in the job.

Problem: In the bank job, handling the borrowers is a very difficult task. When any borrower

comes in the bank and does not get any loan from the bank due to legal requirement procedure of

the bank, In this case customers may want to do undue influence to the bankers. They sometimes

threaten the bankers for getting loan from the bank.

Suggestion: employees should be highly trained to manage and understand the clients about the

matter properly to create a positive image about the bankers, and to protect bankers from the

threat of the clients.

Problem: Keeping everyone is a very difficult task in the organization.

Suggestion: It can be solved practicing sincerity and patience among the employees.

Problem: This bank has not yet started on line banking/SMS/mobile banking.

Suggestion: Bankers should take policy to cope with the problems of environment/technological

change. Bankers should initiate highly automated system for the benefits of the clients, earning

more profit and reputation as well.

Problem: Overstaying in the in the workplace is boring and monotonous for the employees.

Suggestion: Banker should initiate overtime allowances for the employees.

the performance of the bank and employees as well.

Problem: Sometimes, employers use nepotism and favoritism at the time of employment and

promotion of the employees.

Suggestion: Bankers must absolutely eliminate the above from the workplace.

Problem: There is no allowance/honorarium for the internship students in the bank.

Suggestion: Company should initiate internship policy and use internee students to do the work.

Bank should provide some honorarium for the internship students. It will raise the status &

increase positive impression about the institution, and solve the problem of manpower shortage.

Problem: Marketing activities especially deposit target to open account is a difficult task.

42

Page 43: Ific Final

Suggestion: Bank should increase the Salary/allowance/incentives to do its works, to reach

better position, and satisfy employees.

Problem: Risk management is very difficult task in the bank.

Suggestion: Bankers should properly train the employees to handle risk management issues

effectively & efficiently

Suggestion: Service delivery should be first.

6.2 Conclusion

Banks play important role in the modern economy; Humana Resources Management (HRM)

issues play an important role in every organization and in the banks. No organization can achieve

its goals or can be good, until or unless it satisfies employees. Human Resources/ organizational

members play the role of the crew who convert goals into the reality. In the banking sector,

highly educated & strategic personnel are required to create a competitive position & to retain it

for the long time. Training, principle of equality, job satisfaction, and career development are

important in the bank. In the IFIC bank Ltd. The job satisfaction of the employees is more than

moderate. Most of the employees are satisfied here. Bank is also satisfied with its employees.

Bank’s salary is high but not highest in comparison with other commercial banks. Still

comfortable working environment, good interpersonal relationship, and the benefits of the

employees of the IFIC bank limited are also satisfactory. It has been operating since 1983 and it

is a first generation private sector commercial in Bangladesh. It has retained its competitive

position because of its performance and Employees has made the performance of the origination.

Bank’s employees, promotion, & selection will be good and it will get sincere, qualified, &

dedicated employees, if its employee selection procedure remains free from nepotism,

favoritism, and reference in all levels of management. Finally, bank must introduce modern

banking system, adopt new technology, initiate new product, and train its employees

properly to do their job and keep employee satisfied. Bank’s performance is good for its satisfied

employees. Bank is on the right track. Bank’s HRM policy is of course better, it has been able to

satisfy its employees.
