LITERATURE REVIEW

The performance evaluation has to be done for every organization and the proper evaluation for the
employees is necessary for the better performance of employees within the organization. The human resources
are very critical for any organization and the management performance can be improved by the accomplishment
of objective of the organization through the performance of employees within the organization. The correct
evaluation of the performance of employees can be done by the performance management system and
performance evaluation system which can be used effectively in the organization (Stone, 2005). The main
objective of performance management system is to utilize the resources of the company and better
implementation of performance appraisal system so as to spread the awareness of performance in the
employees. The performance measure of the employees also indicates the path to the movement of employees so
as to achieve the objectives of the organization. The problem areas of the employees will be known to the
employees by the feedback given to the employees so that they can work upon it and work hard to improve the
overall efficiency of the organization. This particular process will help the employees in knowing their problems
as well as to know their potentialities which will help them in achieve the desired improvements and also, the
goals of the organization can be achieved in a better manner (Trott, 2003) The training and development
activities are also to be carried out for the performance assessment of the employees performance and at the
same time, various rewards and incentives can be provided to the employees for the achievement of employees
on the basis of performance evaluation. The employee will be encouraged to work in a better manner and give
the best to the organization. The rewards can be provided in any form such as salary increment, promotion,
recognition, etc. There are various performance evaluation techniques which can be provided by the managers at
the top level management. The performance of employees has to be judged on an individual basis for the better
improvement in the performance of employees. The evaluation of performance has to be done a then, the
decisions have to be taken for the improvement in the achievement of the organizational goal. (Kalsicas, 2009)
According to Bobko & Collela (1990) the standards of performance evaluation are very external to the
organization and the evaluative purpose for the employees of the organization is to be considered for the
performance appraisal management system. The goals of employees and organization are interrelated to the
organization. In the performance appraisal system, there are several aspects of employee reaction and
performance of employees (Aryee, 2001) which can hamper the overall system of performance management
system.

because of its wide reach over the various respondents. It also has some limitation which is to be followed while
conducting the interview. As the interview technique provides the reliable data for the research, it is most
commonly used by various researchers for the research study. In order to avoid the limitations of face to face
interview, the telephonic interviews can also be conducted for the responses of participants and telephonic
interviews will also provide some more benefits within the research. Thus it is said that the telephonic
interviews will not have so many constraints of resources and allocation of resources can be done in a better
manner. (Henderson, 1984)
The secondary source of data can be collected through publications, journals, newspaper, government
records and statistical studies done previously by the researchers. In this research study, the topic is highly

RECOMMENDATION

In the present scenario, there is a cutthroat competition in the business and everywhere, especially in
the banking sector. So, the price can be considered as the important factor for the price war and face the high
competition in this world. But there is also a common perception that customers will not go almost anywhere
just to save a buck. So, it is also necessary to avoid getting beat up on price and the price factor cannot be used
as a single factor to survive in the competitive market. There has to be some more competitive edges which are
to be utilized for the market place such as better customer service and satisfied customers. The customer should
be pleased and delighted with the overall services of the organization. The consumers will pay for good service
with both their cash and their time. The startup entrepreneur is liable to deliver the superior services so as to
attract the customer and keep the customers satisfied with the retention of the old customers with the acquisition
of new customers as well. According to the survey, 17 percent of the total customers will bolt after a single
service faux pas. The next 40 percent of the customers will jump ship after two instances of poor service and
rest of the customers which accounts for the 28 percent are out the door after three chances of services.

CONCLUSION

HSBC is a very big brand in banking industry and yes bank is also running successfully at a big level in
the United Kingdom as well as across the world. In the Banking industry HSBC has its own significance and it
provides financial services to all over the world in developing as well as developed countries. The leading
corporation such as HSBC is at a very large extent of banking industry and it has its headquarter in the London.
The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation is in the top list of banking services industry according to
the forbs magazine and it is also one of the largest leading company and on the 8th position in all over the
world.
The work force and the organization have a combined effort for the completion of the desired work and
success of the organization within the industry. In todays scenario, the human resources have to be very
committed for the organization and the organization need to be committed for the employee and their overall
manpower of the company. The management of the company has to participate with the work force so as to
achieve the objectives and goal of the organization. In this system of employee management system, more
preference has to be given for the actions for the authority of the employees rather than fulfillment of task from
the side of employees. The various techniques of performance appraisal can be deployed in the corporation for
the betterment of the company and wellness of the organization. In the service industry, performance appraisal
is considered as a very crucial function to exist in the organization. Even the process of performance appraisal
has to be very structured and formal so as to implement it in a good manner for the organization (Cooper, 2003)
The process of performance appraisal is to be a continuous and ongoing activity and should be
conducted on regular basis. The session of the performance appraisal have to be an informal session for the
betterment in the understanding of the session for the employees of the organization. When the process of
appraisal is conducted for a decided and specified time that is called formal appraisal. The predetermined goal
of an organization can be achieved through the efforts of human resources and the performance evaluation and
feedback with the employees can help in gaining the results for the organization as a whole. The main job of
human resources is to judge the behavior of employees and overall performance within the organization so as to
ensure the accomplishment of tasks. The job performance system can be implied in qualitative and quantitative
manner as the requirements of the appraisal differs from organization to organization and employees. The HRD
has to evaluate the present work culture of the organization and at the same time, the scope for further
improvement has to be analyzed by the human resources (Creamer D G, 2001). The acts of employees can
decide the expectations of the management. The process of performance appraisal has to be carried out for the
benefits of management and at the same time, it also motivates employees for the action required by the
management of the organization. The performance appraisal plays a very vital role in the organization in
achieving the goals of the organization.

EVALUATION OF RESULTS
In this case, HSBC requires an appropriate coordination between the training and development and
human resource management so as to achieve the purpose of the research study. The performance management
of the company plays an important role for the implementation of further plans within the organization. There
are so many motivational theories which can be allied to the research study and the particular working of
training and development department is correlated with the performance management in the organization.
HSBC executes these theories in the whole world. The proper significance of these two factors can be
understood by the data analysis part of the research study. There is a requirement of performance appraisal and
management for the company but at the same time, it also has the requirement for money to invest into the
methods of appraisal and training development programs. (Pulacos E D, 2003)

Recommendations Based on results
The core issue which has been realized on the basis of results of the case is to satisfy the customer in each and
every manner. The customer can be satisfied by following the below mentioned guidelines. They are:
Knowledgeable and available staff: While a customer is making the buying decision, they want
knowledgeable assistance, available when they want it. Customers place a high value on accurate
information and want to be served by employees who know the product inside and out.
Friendly people: Customers not only want product-savvy sales people, they want them to be friendly and
courteous. Your staff should value each customer more than any individual sale.
Good value: This is where price factors in. But customers surveyed see price as only one component of
the bigger picture of value that includes the service, information and follow-up they also receive.
Convenience: The service rule here is simple: make it easy! Says Gross, Customers want merchandise
that is well organized, attractively displayed and easy to find. Thats how todays customers define
convenience, and the easier you can make the shopping, the more money you will be lugging to the
bank.
A fast finish: This final item is where too many businesses fall flat, right at the finish line. While
customers are in the process of deciding to buy or not, they are proceeding on your time. They want
thoughtful help making the right decisions. But once the buying decision is made, get out of their way
because now you are working on their time, and they want to complete the transaction and be on their
way as quickly as possible. At the cash register, there is no time for making additional suggestions.
Encourage face-to-face dealings: This is the most daunting and downright scary part of
interacting with a customer. If youre not used to this sort of thing it can be a pretty nerve-wracking
experience. Rest assured, though, it does get easier over time. Its important to meet your customers face
to face at least once or even twice during the course of a project. My experience has shown that a client
finds it easier to relate to and work with someone theyve actually met in person, rather than a voice on
the phone or someone typing into an email or messenger program. When you do meet them, be calm,
confident and above all, take time to ask them what they need. I believe that if a potential client spends
over half the meeting doing the talking, youre well on your way to a sale.
Future Work
The future research work can be conducted to examine the employee appraisal system and various
implications for the commercial banks such as HSBC and Barclays PLC bank for Indian emerging market in
which the research study can act as a base for the future conduct of research study. The case can be useful for
the research study of various companies. In such research the success and effect of employee appraisal system
will require to examine using attrition rate and other related data of the organization.
