PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
Objectives:
(a) To ensure that employee’s activities and outputs are congruent with the goals & objectives
of the company.
(b) To inculcate performance driven work culture in the company based on the principles of
“Merit” and Pay for Performance.
Scope:
42
based, is to be utilized in the following ways:
Performance Monitoring:
42
acts of outstanding work, good conduct or discipline and inefficiency,
misconduct, indiscipline, dereliction of duty etc, so that the judgment at
the end of the year is based on the explained facts. For purposes of
keeping the record straight, a simple Memorandum may be issued
whenever an employee is found lacking in any respect and a copy thereof
should be kept in his personal file as well in a separate file to be known as
“Performance Evaluation of Employees” to be maintained by the First
Appraiser.
Performance Appraisal:
The goals set in the beginning of the year provide the Parameters/
Standards against which the performance of the employee has to be
appraised/evaluated at the end of the year.
42
Appraisal of an employee is an important and responsible duty and the manner in which
these appraisals are made will be taken into account in judging the qualities of the
Appraisers.
In order to keep objectivity, the 2nd Appraiser has to justify deviation in rating from that of
1st Appraiser in case deviation is more than 30%.
Performance Development:
After the Performance Appraisal, the difference between the actual performance as
compared to desired standards of performance becomes clear. This Performance
Gap indicated by Training & Development Needs in Performance Appraisal
Report, will be filled through Annual Training Plan.
42
16.1 Severance at employee’s option
An employee whose service in the Company has been confirmed, upon leaving
the service of the Company at his option, subject to giving one month’s prior
notice or one month’s salary in lieu thereof in writing of his intention to do so to
the competent authority, shall be eligible to receive:
i. Employees with less than 10 years service from the date of joining
shall be entitled to receive the following severance benefits:
(ii) Employees with more than 10 years but less than 25 years of qualifying
service from the date of joining shall be entitled to receive the following
benefits:
42
a. Three-month prior notice of Company’s decision to relieve the employee
from the service of the Company or 3 months’ salary in lieu thereof.
b. Gratuity@ One-month salary for each completed year of service.
c. ¼ salary for every year of remaining service upto the age of sixty years.
d. Encashment of unutilized leave balance for the year.
42
purpose. An employee before leaving the organization may have to be stopped from data
manipulation, though he is having authorized access to the system.
Executive management has a responsibility to ensure that the organization provides all
users with a secure information systems environment. Importance for security should be
sponsored by the senior management.
Thus, as dependence on information systems increases, security is universally recognized
as a pervasive, critically needed, quality.
Recruitment & appointment is the process of attracting individuals on a timely basis, in
sufficient numbers and with appropriate qualifications, and encouraging them to apply for
jobs with an organization.
In internal recruiting resources when job vacancies exist, the first place that an
organization should look for placement is within itself. They have to give opportunity to
deserved persons as promoted to higher-level positions because of their service and
commitment to organization but I observed that preference is not given to existing
employees against vacant post,. More over bank should examine the track records of its
present employees and promote them for vacant post. Recruiting among present
employees is less expensive than recruiting from outside the organization but bank give
preference to recruiting from outsides
I observed that organization should carefully assess the kinds of positions it wants to fill
and select the recruiting methods that are likely to produce the best results. Filling entry-
level jobs, acquiring skills not possessed by current employees, and obtaining employees
with different backgrounds to provide new ideas. They should recruit from High Schools
and Vocational Schools, Community Colleges, Universities etc. But they are not adapting
above mentioned methods, they give preference to military personnel and appoints those
who have strong back ground and strong reference
Promoting entry level employees to more responsible positions is one of the best ways to
fill job vacancies and important reason why company should have a human resource
planning system. Skills inventories are useful in identifying individuals who have the
potential for advancement, and individual’s desire to be promoted can be assessed in the
performance appraisal review. A promotion from within policy is intrinsic to career
development and human resource planning. A promotion from within policy can
42
stimulate great motivation among employee, and this motivation is often accompanied by
a general improvement in the employee morale. But I have observed that the promotion
policy is not properly implemented, in middle & lower level, employees are waiting for
their promotions for last 15 years but instead of giving promotion to their existing
employees they are appointing external persons due to this existing employees are still
waiting for promotion.
Training & Development Department play a vital role to unleash the hidden potential of
the employees and to identify and build right set of competencies in employees to
optimize their performance. It is also keen to provide equal learning and development
opportunities to employees across the Bank by enhancing their understanding of new
Financial & Commercial products, regulatory requirements and technological innovations
for achieving future organizational goals.
Based on the strategic objectives of the company, the training process should initiate with
the recruitment of an individual in the organization and continue until the person leaves
the organization but on initial level training opportunity is not provided to newly
recruited employees and they seek from their seniors. There is burden of work so some
time seniors are not in that position to
The Training and Development within the prescribed parameters shall apply to all
employees of the company, regardless of the designation and level but I observed that
proper training strategy is not adopted. Some employees who write in their ACR that they
need some kinds of training but bank did not provide opportunity for such kind of
specific training.
Automatic Telling Machine facility is basic need to fulfill the emergency requirements in
modern era. It helps the speedy services giving to the customers. There is also help in
checking the balances and daily transactions just at one key press but ZTBL is so far from
the modern banking they have huge branches network but they did not introduce online
technology. They are working on introducing online banking system but they are facing a
lot of hurdles. Almost all the branches of ZTBL are working under manual system. ZTBL
is trying to convert its branches into online system but not any branch converted into
online system from manual system. Due to this transactions take more time to complete.
Modern and computerized banking is required to fulfill the customer’s need. Maximum
42
branches of ZTBL are working in old traditional ways. On other hand the branches of
other banks are online and quick transaction take place there.
The decision power is centralized in ZTBL, due to this it creates huge gap among
employees and top management. Lower level employees think that at the time of decision
or implementation of any policy top management just see their own benefit and neglect
the benefits of lower employees this is the basic reason of lack of communication
between the employees and management. They have not very much understanding with
each other and not share the work of each other. Highly skilled people and management
required to meet the new standard of banking. In ZTBL, some employees are totally
irresponsible and lack of complete knowledge of banking system. So these employees are
creating continuous problems in the system of ZTBL.
Strengths are the strong areas or attribute of the company, which are used to overcome
weakness and capitalize to take advantage of the external opportunities available in the
industry.
Western union facility:
ZTBL, provides the facility of Western union. In this particular scheme money is
transfer in Pakistan from abroad. This is the fastest way to money transfer. You can
receive the money from bank to see the name and password of particular client.
Government’s bank:
ZTBL is the government bank. They make their policies according to the
government’s rules and regulations. It enjoys its position in the market of banking
system in Pakistan. Government of Pakistan also facilitating the ZTBL.
Customer satisfaction:
42
Because of government’s bank, it is enjoying the customer’s satisfaction. Customers
feels secure their money in ZTBL.
In growing era there is a chance for ZTBL, to improve itself and increase the shares
in the market because it is most trustable due to government’s bank.
Employees are very much loyal to ZTBL. Employee’s turnover is very low in ZTBL.
Very few employees are leaving the jobs in ZTBL. So it is very big strength that your
employees are loyal to your organization.
They provide the wide area of services. They offer no of services relating to the
banking system like, agriculture loans( tractor ,pesticides, seeds. urea etc ) , Short
term and long term credit services, utilities bills, deposits and various loan schemes.
Weakness:
Weakness are painful for the company means these are the weak factors which needs to
be improve in future otherwise if they exposed to the competitors they can take the
advantage of it.
Now a days ATM facility is basic need to fulfill the emergency requirements. It helps
the speedy services giving to the customers. There is also help in checking the
balances and daily transactions just at one key press.

During the internship in ZTBL I found the problem of lack of communication
between the employees and management. They have not very much understanding
with each other and not share the work of each other.
Staff shortage:
There is also weak point for ZTBL, that staff is very short and more staff is required
to meet the needs of official work. Due to heavy burden/load of work the employees
work under stress and there is more chance of errors. One person handles the work of
almost four persons. ZTBL should hire some more staff to reduce the burden of work
from current employees and it will also be helpful to reduce the errors.
Highly skilled people and management required to meet the new standard of banking.
In ZTBL, some employees are totally irresponsible and lack of complete knowledge
of banking system. So these employees are creating continuous problems in the
system of ZTBL.
Opportunities:
Opportunities are the chances exist in the external environment, it depends firm whether
the firm is willing to exploit the opportunities or may be they ignore the opportunities due
to lack of resources.
42
ZTBL, has low interest rate @ 8% as compare to other banks. State Bank of Pakistan
has revised the interest policy and it is opportunity for ZTBL, to increased the
interest rate in order to increase the bank’s profitability.
Threats:
Threats are always evil for the firm, minimum no of threats in the external environment
open many doors for the firm. Maximum number of threats for the firm reduces their
power in the industry.
Increase in no. of banks is a threat for ZTBL, No. of private banks (commercial and
private) are operating their business and provide the same facilities. There is not
any other purely agriculture bank but many other banks are providing different
kinds of loans. People can utilize it to purchase tractors or any other agriculture
machinery. Banks are also providing tractors, threshers and other agriculture
machinery on lease. ZTBL also deals in customer banking so increase in no. of
banks can reduce the customer of ZTBL so it is a threat for ZTBL.
17. Conclusion
42
first thing which I learned during this tenure that there is huge difference between
theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge. In my opinion the key of success of this
department is unity among co-workers and good environment of the office. All staff
members support each other in every task and in task completion they work like a team.
They have better understanding level among them. During internship I have found that
ZTBL has major contribution in economic development because they offer no of services
relating to the banking system like, agriculture loans with very low markup (tractor,
pesticides, seeds. urea etc ) , Short term and long term credit services, utilities bills,
deposits and various loan schemes. The major weakness which I have found that In this
modern era modern and computerized banking is required to fulfill the customer’s need
but maximum branches of ZTBL are working in old traditional ways and they don’t have
highly skilled people and management to meet the new standard of banking.
18.Recommendations:-
achieve the organizational goals by providing such incentives e.g. Medical scheme,
housing scheme, car loans, furniture loans, pension scheme and increasing the number of
year’s employees can work in an organization even after reaching the retirement age
sends the message that the organization is committed to its employees and so the
employees in turn will seek to be committed to the organization. Management should also
concerning employees. Such information may include health status, marital issues, and
organization is very low so here are some recommendations that will help to increase the
organization commitment towards the job satisfaction. As on the whole employees were
committed to the organization, they were satisfied with their jobs as they were receiving
42
the good salary packages, have suitable environmental conditions, employees were
having the high job security. But there are some factors that should be considered by the
organizations in order to enhance the employee commitment. Those factors include the
health facilities, transportation facilities and chances of promotion. These factors will
improve the overall commitment level of employees and they will be more satisfied with
their jobs.
