CHAPTER 1

HUMAN RESOURCE

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Human Resources field evolved first in 18th century in Europe. It built on a simple idea
by Robert Owen (1771-1858) and Charles Babbage (1791-1871) during the industrial revolution.
These men concluded that people were crucial to the success of an organization. They expressed the
thought that the well-being of employees led to perfect work; without healthy workers, the
organization would not survive.

Human Resource is used to describe both the people who work for a company or
organization.  The term Human Resources was first coined in the 1960s when the value of labor
relations began to gather attention and when a general understanding such as motivation,
organizational behavior, and selection assessments began to take shape.

Human Resource is considered by many business strategists to be the most important of all
company resources. That’s because employees can gain new skills, thereby increasing the size of a
company’s competitive advantage over time. Other resources simply don’t have that capacity.

'' PEOPLE ARE OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET '' is a saying which is no member of any
management team would disagree with.

1.2 DEFINITION OF HUMAN RESOURCE

1 Human resource is the least mobile of the four factors of production, and it improves with
age and experience, which no other resource can do. It is therefore regarded as the scarcest
and most crucial productive resources that creates largest and long lasting advantage of an
organization.
 A department within an organization that deals with the people who work for that
organization.
 A group of people who are able to do work.
 People, when considered as an asset that is or can be employed and that is useful to a
company, organization, etc.
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

 The personnel of a business or organization, regarded as a significant asset


HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.3 WHAT IS MANAGEMENT

Management is an individual or a group of individuals that accepts responsibilities to run an


organization. Individuals plan, direct, control and organize all the essential activities of the
organization. Management does not do the work themselves. Management bring all the
individual and group of individual together and motivates them to do work for achieving the
objectives of the organization.

Management brings together all the SIX M's i.e. Men, Money, Material, Machines,
Methods, and Markets. Management uses these resources for achieving the basic objective
of an organization and i.e. to earn maximum profit and also for high sales, business
expansion, etc.

The purpose of management is to serve customers. Yet, if one looks through most
management books for a definition of management, 99.9 percent of the time the word
customer will not be mentioned. This is surprisingly because serving customers in order to
obtain a profit is the difficult of every business organization.

1.4 DEFINITION OF MANAGEMENT

 The organization and co-ordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve


defined objectives.
 Management is the art of getting things done through and with people in formally
organized groups. 

1.5 CHARACTERISTICS OF MANAGEMENT


HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

 Universal:-All the organizations, whether it is profit-making or not, they require


management, for managing their activities. Hence it is universal in nature.

 Goal Oriented:-Every organization is set up with a pre-determined objective and


management helps in reaching those goals timely and smoothly.
 Continuous Process:-Management is an ongoing process which tends to continue
as long as the organization exists. It is required in every activity of the organization
whether it is production, human resource, finance or marketing.

 Group activity:-An organization consists of various members who have different


needs, expectations and beliefs. Every person joins the organization with a
different motive, but after becoming a part of the organization they work for
achieving the same goal. Thus, management helps them to supervise and co-
ordinate and work efficiently.

 Intangible force:-Management can neither be seen nor touched but one can feel
its existence, in the way the organization functions.

1.6 FUNCTIONS OF MANAGEMENT

3
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

The five important functions of management are as follows:-

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

1.8 INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

A Business Unit needs employees to look after different activities. This is called Human
Resource. Such Human Resource needs to be developed fully so that it will make positive
contribution for the progress and prosperity of a Business Unit.

Human Resource Management is the most important function of every organization. Human
Resource Management is the process of managing people in the organization with a human
approach. It is the approach through which organization can utilize the manpower not only
for the benefits of the organization but for the growth, development and self-satisfaction of
the concerned people.

Thus, HRM is a system that focuses on human resources development on one hand and
effective management of people on the other hand so that people will enjoy human dignity in
their employment.HR is primarily concerned with how people are managed within
organizations, focusing on policies and systems. HR departments and units in organizations
are typically responsible for a number of activities, including employee recruitment, training
and development, performance appraisal and rewarding.

Since mid-1980’s Human Resource Management (HRM) has gained acceptance in both
academic and commercial circle. Any organization has three basic components i.e. People,
Purpose and Structure. There is no best way to manage people and no manager has
formulated how people can be managed effectively, because people are complex beings with
complex needs. Effective HRM depends very much on the causes and conditions that an
organizational setting would provide

1.9 DEFINITION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

 HRM is the effective use of Human resource and organization through the
management of people related activities. Mathis
and Jackson. 

 Human Resource Management is made of four activities:- Staffing, Training and


development, Motivation and Maintenance. David and Stephen
Robbins.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.10 SCOPE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

☆ Human Resource Management in Personnel Management:-This is typically direct


manpower management that involves manpower planning, hiring (recruitment and
selection), training and development, transfer, promotion, compensation. It also
includes performance appraisal, developing new skills, incentives, allowance’s,
traveling policies and procedures and other related courses of actions.  The overall
objective here is to ascertain individual growth, development and effectiveness which
indirectly contribute to organizational development.

☆ Human Resource Management in Employee Welfare:-Employee welfare is about


determining employee’s real needs and fulfilling them with active participation of
both management and employees. In addition to this, it also takes care of canteen
facilities, rest and lunch rooms, housing, transport, medical assistance, education,
health and safety, recreation facilities, etc.

Human Resource Management in Industrial Relations:-Since it is a highly sensitive


area, it needs careful interactions with labor or employee unions, addressing their
grievances and settling the disputes effectively in order to maintain peace and
harmony in the organization. The main aim is to safeguarding the interest of
employees by securing the highest level of understanding to the extent that does not
leave a negative impact on organization.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.11 FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS

 Planning:-This function is very vital to set goals and objectives of an organization.


The policies and procedures are laid down to achieve these goals. When it comes to
planning the first thing is to foresee vacancies, set the job requirements and decide the
recruitment sources. Shortage versus the excess of employees for that given job
category is determined for a given period. In the end, a plan is ascertained to eliminate
this shortage of employees.

 Organizing:-The next major managerial function is to develop and design the


structure of the organization. It fundamentally includes the following:-

1. Employees are grouped into positions or activities they will be performing.


2. Allocate different functions to different persons.
3. Delegate authority as per the tasks and responsibilities that are assigned.

 Directing:-This function is decided to inspire and direct the employees to achieve the
goals. This can be attained by having in place a proper planning of career of
employees, various motivational methods and having friendly relations with the
manpower. This is a great challenge to any HR manager of an organization; he/she
should have the capability of finding employee needs and ways to satisfy them.
Motivation will be a continuous process here as new needs may come forward as the
old ones get fulfilled.

8
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

 Controlling:-The controlling function ends the cycle and again prompts for planning.
Here the HR Manager makes an examination of outcome achieved with the standards
that were set in the planning stage to see if there are any deviations from the set
standards. Hence any deviation can be corrected on the next cycle.

OPERATIVE FUNCTIONS

 Recruitment:-This is the most challenging task for any HR manager. A lot of


attention and resources are required to draw, employ and hold the prospective
employees. A lot of elements go into this function of recruitment, like developing
a job description, publishing the job posting, sourcing the prospective candidates,
interviewing, and salary negotiations and making the job offer.

 Training and Development:- Training is the responsibility of the HR department.


Fresher training may also be provided by some companies for both new hires and
existing employees. This Fresher training is mainly done to make the employees
up to date in their respective areas as required by the company. This function
makes the employees understand the process and makes it easy for them to get on
their jobs with much ease. During the process of the training and development, the
results are monitored and measured to find out if the employees require any new
skills in addition to what he/she has.

 Compensation and Benefit:-A company can attain its goals and objectives if it can
adopt to new ways of providing benefits to the employees. Some of the benefits
given by companies are:-

1. Working hour flexibility


2. Extended vacation
3. Dental/Medical Insurance
4. Maternal/Paternal Leave.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.12 CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

◇ HRM is a service function:-HRM is not a profit center. It serves all other functional
departments. But the basic responsibility always lies with the line managers. HRM is
a staff function – a facilitator. The HR Manager has line authority only within his own
department, but has staff authority as far as other departments are concerned.
◇ It is a continuous process:-First, it is a process as there are number of functions to be
performed in a series, beginning with human resource planning to recruitment to
selection, to training to performance appraisal.
◇ People-centered:-HRM is about people at work both as individuals and a group. It
tries to help employees to develop their potential fully. It comprises people-related
functions like hiring, training and development, performance appraisal, working
environment, etc. HRM has the responsibility of building human capital. People are
vital for achieving organizational goals. Organizational performance depends on the
quality of people and employees.
◇ Human relations philosophy:-HRM is a philosophy and the basic assumption is that
employees are human beings and not a factor of production like land, labor or capital.
HRM recognizes individuality and individual differences. Every manager to be
successful must possess social skills to manage people with differing needs

1.13 OBJECTIVES OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

10
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

There are four main objectives of Human Resource Management. They are:

◊ Organizational Objectives:-Acquiring right man for the right job at right time in
right quantity, developing through right kind of training, utilizing the selected
workforce, and maintaining the workforce are the organizational objectives of HRM.
HRM is a means to achieve efficiency and effectiveness. It serves other functional
areas, so as to help them to attain efficiency in their operations and attainment of
goals to attain efficiency. Succession planning is an important issue to be taken up as
a current organizational objective.

◊ Personal Objectives:-In today’s world there is shortage of required talent. Employees


are encouraged by competitive firms to change the jobs. HRM has the responsibility
to acquire, develop, utilize, and maintain employees. This would be possible only
when the HRM helps employees to achieve their personal goals to get their
commitment. Creating work-life balance for the employees is a personal objective.
◊ Societal Objectives:-HRM must see that the legal, and social environmental issues
are properly attended to. Equal opportunity and equal pay for equal work are the legal
issues not to be violated. To help the society through generating employment
opportunity, creating schools and dispensaries, helping women empowerment are the
social responsibility issues.

11
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

◊ Functional Objectives:-HRM performs so many functions for other departments.


However, it must see that the facilitation should not cost more than the benefit
rendered.

1.14 ADVANTAGES OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:

1. Improvement of Labor Productivity:


Manpower or human resource as a factor of production differs from other factors of
production. As it is subject to its free will, the productivity of labor can be improved if the
workers are kept satisfied.
In other words, just as satisfied workers can be productive, dissatisfied workers can be
destructive. Therefore, through proper human resource planning we can improve the morale
of the labor and improve labor productivity.

2. Recruitment of Qualified Human Resource:


Talented and skilled labor has become a scarce resource especially in developing countries.
Therefore, for the long run survival of the firm, it is essential to recruit the best labor force
through proper manpower planning.

3. Adjusting with the Rapid Technological Change:


With the change in technology, the job and job requirements are also changing. Therefore, it
is necessary to forecast and meet the changing manpower, which can withstand the
challenges of the technological revolution. This can be done only through effective
manpower planning.

4. Reducing Labor Turnover:


The labor turnover refers to the mobility of labor out of the organization due to various
factors such as dissatisfaction, retirement, death etc. Due to labor turnover, a firm will be
losing experienced and skilled labor force. This loss can be minimized only through efficient
manpower planning.

12
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.15 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

 HUMAN RESOURE PLANNING:


Human resource planning is a process that identifies current and future human
resources needs for an organization to achieve its goals. Human resource planning
should serve as a link between human resource management and the overall strategic
plan of an organization. A process in which an organization attempts to estimate the
demand for labor and evaluate the size, nature and sources of supply which will be
required to meet the demand.

 RECRUITMENT:
This function covers the range of activities from a manager identifying a potential
vacancy in their team to a formal offer of employment being made to the successful
candidate. Human Resource will usually support the line manager to scope out the job
description, including duties, salary, etc., and then advertise the vacancy per the
recruitment strategy. This may involve direct advertising online or in other media
outlets, or working with a recruitment or headhunting agency. Generally, HR and the
line manager work together to shortlist candidates against the job specification and
then carry out interviews before making an offer of employment.

 SELECTION:

13
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

Once a candidate has been made an offer, a number of processes need to be carried
out by the HR function. First, a contract of employment and other offer documents are
generated and sent to the new employee. Next, the HR team works in conjunction
with the new employee’s line manager to arrange their induction and training
program, as well as setting up essential things such as IT access, security passes, desk
space, etc.

 STAFFING:
Staffing involves managing the organization structure through proper and effective
selection, appraisal and development of the personnel to fill the roles assigned to the
employers/workforce.  Staffing function is the most important managerial act along
with planning, organizing, directing and controlling. 

Staffing is performed by all managers depending upon the nature of business, size of the
company, qualifications and skills of managers, etc. In small companies, the top
management generally performs this function. In medium and small scale enterprise, it is
performed especially by the personnel department of that concern.

 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT:


The training and development function of a business is sometimes separated from the
main HR function, particularly in larger organizations, but is often integrated with the
wider HR team. Its work includes sourcing or designing training courses to meet
learning needs, organizing coaching and mentoring programs and other initiatives to
improve job performance and corporate behaviors across employees and teams.

 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:
Performance Appraisal is the systematic evaluation of the performance of employees
and to understand the abilities of a person for further growth and development.
Performance Appraisal is a method by which the job performance of an employee is
documented and evaluated. Performance appraisals are a part of career
development and consist of regular reviews of employee performance
within organizations.

14
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

1.16 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

HRM systems provide a single, centralized view of a company’s workforce by integrating a


wide arrangement of applications such as talent acquisition, benefits administration,
compensation management, performance management, succession planning, and career
development.
HRM is often used interchangeably with HCM, human capital management. The latter term
refers to the administrative management of an organization’s people. Human Resource
Management System software acts as a bridge between HR department and Development
department in software companies.  HRM’s looks after overall technical and non-technical
work details that are carried out in organizations. 
The main objective of the HRM’s is to reduce the effort of Administrator to keep the daily
events such as attendance, projects, works, appointments, etc. The HRM’s deals with the
process of identifying the employees, recording their attendance hourly and calculating their
effective payable hours or days. The HRM’s should maintain the records of each and every
employee and their time spend in to company, which can be used for performance appraisal.
Based on that transfer, removal, promotion can be done.

1.17 FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN REAOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

All in all, the HR function is still to a large degree administrative and common to all
organizations. To varying degrees, most organization shave formalized selection, evaluation,
and payroll processes. Efficient and effective management of the "Human Capital Pool”
(HCP) has become an increasingly imperative and complex activity to all HR professionals.

15
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

The HR function consists of tracking innumerable data points on each employee, from
personal histories, data, skills, capabilities, experiences to payroll records. To reduce the
manual workload of these administrative activities, organizations began to electronically
automate many of these processes by introducing innovative HRMS/HCM technology. Due
to complexity in programming, capabilities and limited technical resources, HR executives
rely on internal and external IT professionals to develop and maintain their Human Resource
Management Systems (HRMS).
Before the "client-server" architecture evolved in the late 1980s, every single HR automation
process came largely in form of mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of
data transactions. In consequence of the high capital investment necessary to purchase or
program proprietary software, these internally developed HRMS were limited to medium to
large organizations being able to afford internal IT capabilities. The arrival of client-server
HRMS authorized HR executives for the first time to take responsibility and ownership of
their systems. Currently, Human Resource Management System covers:

1. Payroll Module.
2. Time and Attendance Module.
3. Benefits Administration Module.

PAYROLL MODULE: The payroll module automates the pay process by


gathering data on employee time and attendance, calculating various deductions and
taxes, and generating periodic pay cheque and employee tax reports. Data is
generally fed from the human resource and timekeeping modules to calculate
automatic deposit and manual cheque writing capabilities. This module can
encompass all employee-related transactions as well as integrate with existing
financial management systems.

TIME AND ATTENDANCE MODULE: The time and attendance module gathers


standardized time and work related efforts. The most advanced modules provide
broad flexibility in data collection methods, labor distribution capabilities and data
analysis features. Cost analysis and efficiency metrics are the primary functions.

TRAINING MODULE: The training module provides a system for organizations


to administer and track employee training and development efforts. The system,
16
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

normally called a "learning management system" (LMS) if a standalone product,


allows HR to track education, qualifications, and skills of the employees, as well as
outlining what training courses, books, CDs, web-based learning or materials are
available to develop skills.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS


1.18 WHAT IS A BANK?
The term bank is derived from the Old Italian word “Banca” which means a bench or money
exchange table. In olden days, European Money lenders or money changers used to display
coins of different countries in huge quantity on benches and tables for the purpose of lending
or exchanging. The history of banking began with the first original banks which were the
merchants of the world, who made grain loans to farmers and traders who carried goods
between cities.
Currently, the term bank is generally understood as an institution that holds a banking
license. Banking Licenses are granted by financial supervision authorities and right to
conduct the most fundamental banking services such as accepting deposits and
making loans. There are also financial institutions that provide certain banking
services without meeting the legal definition of bank, so called non-banks.
1.19 DEFINITION OF BANK

specialized functions like Issue of Currency, working as a banker of government,
supervising and controlling of foreign exchange.

 COMMERCIAL BANKS: In India commercial banks are established under


Companies Act 1956. In 1969, 14 commercial banks were nationalized by
government of India. The policies regarding deposits, rate of interest, loans, etc. of
these banks are controlled by Central Bank. Commercial banks are established with
an objective to help the businessmen. These banks collect money from general public

20
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

and give short-term loans to businessmen in the form of cash credits, overdrafts, etc.
Commercial banks provide various services like collecting cheques, bills of exchange,
remittance of money from one place to another.

 INDUSTRIAL BANKS: Industrial/ Development banks collects cash by issuing


shares, debentures and providing long-term loans to Industries. The main objective of
these banks is to provide long-term loans for expansion and modernization of the
Industries.

Almost every bank and financial institution is involved in various functions in a day's job and
thus requires a highly effective team and appropriate manpower to run the show. Corporate
goals are translated into viable realities and profits only with human element who play their
due role in achieving the desired results.
 HRM IN CO-OPERATIVE BANKS:
It is said that HR policies of co-operative banks are totally dominated by the Registrar
of co-operatives. This is perhaps one of the reason why co-operatives banks are
unable to improve themselves.
 HRM IN REGIONAL RURAL BANKS:
As regards, regional rural banks, most of them adopt the HR policies of sponsor
banks, which are not appropriate for their special nature.
 HRM IN PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS:
In recent times, the contours of HR functions in public sector banks are slowly but
definitely changing. One could say that these banks are discovering HR functions and
it is hoped that these banks will fast catch up with the others. Here in HRM did not
have a direct role in the business development but was more concerned with
centralized to staff and providing them across the country.

1.23 WHY HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT FOR BANKS

Human Resource Management is important for banks because banking is a service


industry. Management of people and management of risk are two key challenges
facing banks. How you manage the people and how you manage the risks determines

23
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

your success in the banking business. Efficient risk management may not be possible
without efficient and skilled manpower. Banking has been and will always be a
"People Business". Though pricing is important, there may be other valid reasons why
people select and stay with a particular bank. Banks must try to distinguish
themselves by creating their own niches or
images, especially in transparent situations with a high level of competitiveness. In
coming times, the very survival of the banks would depend on customer satisfaction.
Those who do not meet the customer expectations will find survival difficult. Banks
must express and emphasize the core values to attract and retain certain customer
segments. Values such as "sound", "reliable", "innovative", "international", "close",
"socially responsible", "Indian", etc. need to be emphasized through existing actions
on the ground and it would be the bank’s human resource that would deliver this.
It is a common complaint among bank executives that skilled manpower is in short
supply. No two arguments on this, HR resources are becoming scarce – both in
quality and quantity. And, it is quite elementary that any resource that is in short
supply needs to be properly managed for the benefit of society and, therefore, you
need to pay attention to the entire Human Resource Management process. What do I
mean when I say this? You need to manage the people – and for this you need to
differentiate between the people, I mean positive differentiate. The entire spectrum of
HR practice requires revolutionary changes if the banks have to survive. Managing
the people is the key challenge. And, in my opinion, discrimination is the key word
when dealing with people.

1.24 ROLE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

Human Resources (HR) can include a broad range of specialties within organizations.
Some examples of specialties include recruiting, payroll, policy, safety, training and
development, and performance management. In smaller organizations, the HR
professional may handle all of those specialties and in larger organizations, each
specialty is most likely its own department.
Many banks in India were trying to hire the professionals with higher packages even
when the GDP of country was quite high as they were not able to find the ready
available talent. Few banks have taken steps to build the talent and one among them is

24
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

ICICI Bank. They have tried to build the available resources on supply side to billable
resources on demand side.
The roles within HR can vary greatly as well as with many departments from the
purely administrative to the executive. Another related and perhaps more important
question that is often discussed is, “what should HR be doing?” For me, HR‟s
primary purpose is to ensure that the right people are working in the right places to
accomplish the organization's goal.

1.25 RESPONSIBILITIES OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT


DEPARTMENT IN BANKS

RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. To put forward and obtain agreement on changes to these policies from
time to time and to ensure that policies which have been agreed are
being implemented by the Banks.
2. To contribute fully to the task of meeting the business challenges
which the bank has to face by supporting Branch Manager in
continuously developing the potential of the employees and in creating
the conditions in which all the employees are motivated to meet the
objectives of the Bank.

3. To continuously monitor the Bank's strategies and to ensure that HR


policies are appropriate and the employee’s number and skills are fully
supportive of such strategies. .

1.26 HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING

Human resource planning is a process that identifies current and future human resources
needs for an organization to achieve its goals. Human resource planning should serve as a
link between human resource management and the overall strategic plan of an organization.
Ageing workers population in most western countries and growing demands for qualified
workers in developing economies have underscored the importance of effective human
resource planning.

25
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

A process in which an organization attempts to estimate the demand for labor and evaluate
the size, nature and sources of supply which will be required to meet the demand. Human
resource planing includes creating an employer brand, retention strategy, absence
management strategy, flexibility strategy, (talent management) strategy, (recruitment) and
selection strategy.

1.27 HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING PROCESS:

1. Determining the Objectives of Human Resource Planning:

The foremost step in every process is the determination of the objectives for which the
process is to be carried on. The objective for which the manpower planning is to be done
should be defined precisely, so as to ensure that a right number of people for the right kind of
job are selected.

26
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

The objectives can vary across the several departments in the organization such as the
personnel demand may differ in marketing, finance, production, HR department, based on
their roles or functions.

2. Analyzing Current Manpower Inventory:

The next step is to analyze the current manpower supply in the organization through the
stored information about the employees in terms of their experience, proficiency, skills, etc.
required to perform a particular job.

Also, the future vacancies can be estimated, so as to plan for the manpower from both the
internal (within the current employees) and the external (hiring candidates from outside)
sources. Thus, it is to be ensured that reservoir of talent is maintained to meet any vacancy
arising in the near future.

3. Forecasting Demand and Supply of Human Resources:

Once the inventory of talented manpower is maintained; the next step is to match the demand
for the manpower arising in the future with the supply or available resources with the
organization.

Here, the required skills of personnel for a particular job are matched with the job description
and specification.

4. Analyzing the Manpower Gaps:

After forecasting the demand and supply, the manpower gaps can be easily evaluated. In case
the demand is more than the supply of human resources that means there is a deficit, and
thus, new candidates are to be hired.

Whereas, if the Demand is less than supply, there arises a surplus in the human resources, and
hence, the employees have to be removed either in the form of termination, retirement, layoff,
transfer, etc.

1.28 HUMAN RELATIONS

Administering various human resources policies like employment development &


compensation & interactions among the employees on one hand & employees & the
management on the other, create a sense of working relationships between workers &

27
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

management & trade unions. Basically they are all interactions between human beings.
Human relations, is therefore, is an important area in management which integrates people
into work situations in a way that motivates people to work together with economic,
psychological & social satisfaction thereby increasing their productivity. Hence Human
Resources Management functions will center on:

 Understanding perception, personality, learning, intra & inter personal


relations, inter & intra group relations.
 Motivating all employees.
 Promoting Employee's Morale.
 Developing communication skills.
 Developing leadership skills.

1.29 CHALLENGES FACED BY THE BANKING INDUSTRIES

Here are the Ten Challenges that the HR Function in India Faces:-

1 The First and Foremost Challenge that HR Function in India faces is to convert the
abundant population into useful Human Resources.
2 Training and Development of Human Resource to match ever changing demands
requires HR to develop new and innovative ideas that suit Individual as well as
Industry Criteria.
3 Employee motivation and satisfaction is another area of concern in HR today. In order
to reduce attrition, HR needs to realize that monitory needs are not only the drive for
an individual and that sense of belongingness must be imbibed in employees.

4 With an increase in number of Job Options available now-a- days, the HR Function of
an organization must take care that they hire those people who believe in long-term
commitment to the organization. The HR then must take up the challenge of retaining
them by developing retention techniques like holidays plan full- at- work, etc.

1.30 CURRENT CHALLENGES FACED BY BANKS IN HUMAN


RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

28
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

Human Resource Management is the management of organization's workforce or human


resources. It is responsible for attraction, selection, training, assessment and rewarding of
employees, while also overseeing organizations leadership and culture, and ensuring
compliance with employment and labor laws. Some current challenges faced by the banks
are:

* Effective Work Force:


A time consuming and hectic job is to hunt the right talent. Higher the professional
value of the vacancy, tougher is the search. Banks are keenly interested to fill up two
types of professionals. One who are outstanding professionals with high job hopping
attitude -- These are those who come in-work for some tome and then leave for better
prospects. Others are those who are keenly picked-up, trained and are somehow
retained to be developed as a future management within the bank.

Management trainees are a growing popular phenomena where freshly qualified


business graduates are engaged by banks and a certain percentage of these well-
equipped professionals stay back within the organization to grow into the footsteps of
senior manager.

Banking jobs being apparently profit-making for many attract a large number of
candidates against advertised agencies in media creating a large number of database
management problem.

This has been helped by specialized hiring agencies who may take up the job of hiring
in case of large number of vacancies.

* Right People:
The most important agenda of HRM across the Banking sector is to retain the right
people. Sudden growth of retail banking and other services has put pressure on HR
Manager in banks to engage more professionals within shorter span of time and
thereby attracting manpower in other banks on attractive packages has made the job
market more competing. A Bank in normal a normal time course invest time and
money to hire and train the appropriate workforce for its own operations. This

29
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

readymade force is often identified and subsequently picked-up on better terms by


others.

depends on the survey from others too shown in the Primary and Secondary
data.

CHAPTER 3

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

36
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

The Human Resource Management in Bank’s is a process of Bank’s in which


they take the initiative to develop there staff by giving the proper training by the
HR’s to there employees and to make sure that there no person left without
unskilled they should take care of each and everything that they requires for the
training.

1. Dr. Anil Khandewal

 Each industry has uniqueness and HR functions should be designed to address the
Uniqueness. Bank's uniqueness is the fact that they are human organizations and they
deal with customers, which require high degree of sensitivity and interactional
process.

(Former Chairman and Managing Director of Bank of


Baroda)

2. Dhar (2001)
 Assessed recruitment and promotion policies, merits and competence, performance
appraisal and motivation, morale and commitment. He suggested the following.

1) Recruitment and promotion policies to be reviewed time to time.


2) Merits and competence should be given greater emphasis in promotion.
3) Performance appraisal system to be modified and undertaken time to time.
4) Motivation, morale and commitment and sense of belonging and involvement of
employees at all to level should be enhanced.

3. Economic Survey (1994)

 state that human development is the ultimate goal of or development programs and is
also crucial for development of social sectors, such as education and health, is crucial
for sustaining higher rates of overall economic growth in an increasingly integrated
world economy.

4. Ron Nersesian

37
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN BANKS

 ''Developing people's talent is the whole of the company at the end of the day. Our
products all are time-perishable. The only thing that stays is the institutional learning
and the development of the skills and capabilities that we have in our people''.
(In The Talent
Masters)
 HRM covers essential aspects of central concern in organizations such as individual, 
practice, educational theory, social and organizational psychology, sociology,
industrial relations, and organizational theory. (Soderlund and Bredin, 2005).

 However, recently, the literature highlights the need of studying the mechanisms
through which HRM practices influence innovation. According to some authors,
HRM practices help to increase the firm's human capital, that it to say, its employees'
knowledge and skills. (Seeck and Diehl, 2017) 

5. Nadler (1979)

Made a distinction between human resource utilization and human


resource development. He state that human resource utilization covers traditional
functions of personnel administrations, whereas human resource development
includes mainly training.
 
 Some organization may achieve a saturation point in terms of their growth over a
period of time to maintain such a saturation level of growth and to enable the
organization to operate in the changing environment, employees are to be helped to
sharpen their existing competencies and to acquire new ones. Higher degree of quality
of performance of tasks requires higher degree of skills. Without continuous
development of competencies in people, organization is not likely to achieve its goals.
In fact, competent and motivated people are essential for the growth, survival and
excellence of the organization.

 To manage innovative workforce effectively, traditional HRM practices, such as work


systems, HR flows, rewards and employee influence, have to be rewarded to be in line
with the innovative strategy of organization. ‘HRM innovation’ seeks a model that
pays attention to the dynamic character of various types of innovations – not just cost
reduction or quality – in organizations, that is in line with an innovation oriented
organizational strategy supported by deliberately chosen (HRM) policies and
practices at all relevant levels (2005).
