PREFACE
Internship report is an opportunity for the students to apply theoretical knowledge and
to gain practical experience about public and private organizations and their practices
and procedures. Training plays an important part in developing the managerial skills
of the people. Every organization is in search of capable & efficient administrators,
who are properly trained. This training opportunity is provided to the students of
Master of Business Administration through the internship program.
I choose to do my internship in NBP Katlang branch because of the fact that it is a
part of the most successful organizational setup in the country and have had in recent
years NBP has shown the will that it wants to stay the best bank in Pakistan with
constant innovations in its products and services, and by making use of the emerging
technologies.
Six weeks period is not sufficient to understand the operations of organizations. but
still it was a great experience to have a feel of the practical world and keeping in view
the limitations of the study, this seems a reasonable attempt. Internship in NBP
Katlang branch was a true learning experience for me. I have exclusively studied and
observed the organizational structure, Remittances department, General Banking,
Accounting opening and customer services.
First and foremost is the NBP Katlang branch staff, especially the branch manager
Mr. Ajmal shah Roghani to get practical knowledge of different functions of the bank.
Secondly, I pay heartiest thanks to my supervisor Madam Misbah who helped me in
the documentation and organization of this report.

This report highlights the operations and functions of bank. Banks acts as financial
agents to their customer; in return they get reward for their services. Banks play
important role in development of society. A strong economy must have a good
banking system.
National Bank of Pakistan is one of the leading banks in Pakistan. According to
international standards of banking system it is one of the best banks in South Asian
region as well as the bank, which is, come the top ten in the world. This report
explains how different functions of NBP works and what are their services.
The report relies mainly upon secondary data with the use of primary data at instances
when the former would be unclear or difficult to comprehend. The report is mostly
objective in nature with hints of subjectivity in financial analysis. The first part of the
report is about the evolution of banks, where as the second part is about the functions
and services of NBP and in third part the financial analysis and recommendations are
given.
During the critical analysis, it was observed that NBP is one of the leading
commercial banks of Pakistan with a network of around 1256 branches all over
Pakistan. NBP provides a wide variety of products and accounts that suit the lifestyle
and needs of the masses .In fact commercial banking is regarded as a Conservative
business because the rewards are modest and the penalties of bad banking are many.
As a trustee of the public funds, NBP has a greater responsibility for safety and

prudence. Many business can enjoy some slack in their affairs, commercial banks
cannot afford this, since commercial banks must make a living by putting the money
at their disposal to work, they are faced with the problem of making a living without
jeopardizing the safety of their institution and NBP is doing all this very efficiently.
The NBP is known for its customer services as well as for its products, which are in

help the students of commerce in making their reports about the NBP. This can help
the management of the NBP in improving the performance of the Bank. For me it is a
degree requirement and a source of practical knowledge. Six weeks duration was
insufficient for the fulfillment of such a huge project but I have tried my best.
1.3 Scope of the Work
The duration of six weeks for internship was quite adequate for the completion of
study and observation of the Bank. NBP is one of the oldest and the well-established
banks of Pakistan. Efforts were made to study the existing setup and functions of
Bank. Some of problems faced by the Bank have been identified and solutions have
been suggested to these problems.

CHAPTER # 2 EVALUATION 0F BANKING
2.1 What is Bank?
Bank is a profit seeking institution. It collects/receives surplus money from people at
a low rate of interest and makes advances/finances to individual and business firms at
higher rate of mark-up.
There is no consensus on the origin of the word Bank. According to some experts,
the word Bank itself is derived from the word bancus or banque, i.e. a bench.
The early bankers, the Jews in Lombardy, who are thought to be the forefathers of
Banking used to transact their business on benches in the market places. The word
bankrupt also comes from there. Whenever a person failed in honoring his
commitment; the public broke his bench. Other people opine that the word Bank has
its origin in the German word Back, meaning joint stock fund, which was
Italianized into banco when the Germans were masters of a great part of Italy.
However, the Oxford Dictionarys Millennium Issue gives a very precise meaning of
the word Bank which is Bank is an establishment of depositing, withdrawing and
borrowing money.
Although banking has developed too much more than deposits withdrawal and
borrowing of money, yet the basic function of Bank remains as described above.
2.2 Brief History of Banking
Banking is thought to begin somewhere in early 2000 BC when the Babylonians
developed a banking system. The temples of Babylon were used as banks. The origin
of modern banking can be found in the modern dealers in Florence, who received
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
18/765
money on deposit, and were lenders of money in the 14th century, and the names of
the Bardi, Acciajuoli, Peruzzi, Pitti and Medici soon became famous throughout
Europe as Bankers. At one time, Florence is said to have had eighty bankers, though it
could boast of no public bank.
The structure and modern form of banking started taking shape when many of the
Lombardy merchants immigrated to England in the fourteenth century and settled in
the part of the city of London now called Lombard Street. They had so many
resources that even the kings had to depend on them for loans despite the fact that the
Church was strictly against usury. The goldsmiths at that time also started issuing
receipts to their depositors in respect of the cash or gold articles left with them. These
were called Goldsmith Notes; an important step in the evolution of banking was taken
when these goldsmiths started lending at interest and issued cheque books.
Some of these goldsmiths, after Charles II refused them payments, formed a
Corporation in 1695, known as the Bank of England. This proved to be a turning point
in banking history and paved the way for modern banking through different
legislatures by the British Government.
2.3 Banking in Pakistan
In 1947, there were 487 offices of scheduled banks in the provinces now constituting
Pakistan. After independence in accordance with the Indian Independence Act, an
Expert Committee was appointed to study the issue, which recommended that the
Reserve Bank of India should continue to function in Pakistan until 30th September
1948, so that the problems of time and demand liability, coinage, currencies,
exchange etc. are settled between India and Pakistan. However, after independence
the Banks started shifting to India, resultantly, by June 30th 1948, the number of
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
19/766
offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan had declined from 487 to only 195. At that
time there were only two scheduled banks in Pakistan, which were the Habib Bank,
and the Australia Bank.
On July 1, 1948, State Bank of Pakistan was inaugurated by Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, which assumed full control of banking and currency in
Pakistan. The National Bank of Pakistan came into being in 1949, and by 1952 it
became strong enough to take over the agency function from the Imperial Bank of
India. After this; new Banks continued to emerge. The next big step was the
nationalization of Banks in 1974. By December 1973 there were 14 scheduled banks
with 3042 branches all over the country. These were:
National Bank of Pakistan Habib Bank Limited
Habib Bank (Overseas) Limited
United Bank Limited Muslim Commercial Bank Limited Commerce Bank Limited Australia Bank Limited Standard Bank Limited Bank of Bahawalpur Limited Premier Bank Limited Pak Bank Limited Sarhad Bank Limited Lahore Cooperative Bank Limited Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank Limited
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
20/767
According to the provision of the Banks Nationalization Act, 1974 all the commercial
Banks were reorganized and merged into the following five banks:
National Bank of Pakistan Habib Bank Limited Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited United Bank Limited Muslim Commercial Bank Limited
However, the government privatized major shares of Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited
and Muslim Commercial Bank at the start of the nineties.
There has been mushroom growth in the Banking sector in the last decade. The
foreign players have also joined in. at present, apart from the private and public Banks
there are 22 foreign banks with 65 branches all over Pakistan.
2.4 History of National Bank of Pakistan
With the establishment of the central banks, the country has ushered in new era in the
development of banking. Soon the industry was faced with another problem of
considerable magnitude. This happened in late 1949. The British Government
devalued its currency in September 1949 both the Indian and Pakistan currencies were
pegged on a fixed exchange rate basis with the pound sterling.
In line with the British Governments decision, the Indian Government also devalued
it rupee to maintain parity with the pound sterling. Pakistan, however, did not devalue
its currency. India did not view the Pakistani decision in the right spirit and Pakistans
refused to bring its currency at par with that of India led to a crisis in trading between
the two countries. Indias refusal to lift the Pakistani Jute, as reprisal resulted in a
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
21/768
financial crisis for the jute growers, who could not be paid. Only a commercial bank
in public sector could have offered payment in lieu, to mitigate the financial
sufferings of jute growers.
The government responded to the situation quickly and decisively, on November 9,
1949, the Governor General bringing in being the National Bank of Pakistan, which
started functioning from November 20, 1949, promulgated an order.
In the course of its development the National Bank of Pakistan, in addition to being a
commercial bank in the public sector at a time when all other commercial bank were
in the private sector also came to acquire certain characteristics which to this day set it
apart from other nationalized commercial bank of the country. The most important of
these characteristics in that the National Bank asset as an assent on the central bank
where the State Bank does the National Bank also acts as a trustee to the National
Investment Trust (NIT), one of the premier financial institutions of the country,
charged with the responsibility of mobilizing small savings.
The establishment of National Bank thus signaled the achievement of another
milestone in the development of the banking industry in Pakistan.

CHAPTER # 4 DEPARTMENTALIZATION OF NBPAND
ITS FUNCTION
Organizing is something which is to decide how best to group Organizational
activities and resources. There are a lot of things which comes under the head of
organizing departmentalization is one of that the question is that what is
departmentalization according to Griffin Departmentalization is the process of
grouping jobs according to some logical arrangement
When an organization is small, the owner-manager can personally oversee everyone
who works there. As an organization grows ,however, personally supervising all the
employees becomes more and more difficult for the owner/manager, consequently,
new manager position are created to supervise the work of other employees are not
assigned to particular managers randomly. Rather, jobs are grouped according to
some plan. The logic embodied in such a plan is the basis for all departmentalization.
With respect to National Bank of Pakistan everyone knows that this bank is a large
organization and this organization needs departmentalization. National Bank of
Pakistan commonly maintained departments including the cash department,
remittances department, advances department, account opening department , clearing
department ,Govt. Collection Department, Deposits Department and in some cases
there is a foreign exchange department as well.
Some of the departments and their activities are as follows:
Cash Department Accounts Opening Department Clearance Department

31/7618
Advances Department Remittance Department Govt. Collection Department. Deposits Department
4.1 Cash Department
A well known economist says that banker is a dealer in capital or more precisely
dealer in money. As the bank deals in money its mean that the most important
department of the bank is cash department. There are two basic functions of the cash
departments that are;

There are different types of accounts in National Bank of Pakistan and cash

of NBP shows a decreasing trend. Because of high advances cash is less to cover its
current liabilities.
7.1.2 Gross Profit Margin Ratio:
This ratio shows the profit margin in sales/ revenue. This is calculated as.

efficiency of the firms operations as well. The ratio shows the decreasing trend,
hence the performance of this is the indication of unsatisfactory performance.

of NBP is not good. And the trend is downward. It tells us a firms net income per
rupee of revenue. As the trend is downward it shows the low profits in revenue per

unsatisfactory efficiency of NBP. In 2005 it was high but in 2007 it decreased to
90.31 from 89.78 which is a bad sign. Here the creditors are interested in low ratio.

CONCLUSION
I compared the financial position of NATIONAL BANK OF PAKISTAN and
MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK LIMITED, above over all ratios depict that
MUSLIM COMMERCIAL is working well than NATIONAL BANK OF
PAKISTAN. There are different reasons to increase in ratios of Muslim commercial
Bank Limited, as Modern banking procedures, qualified staff, use of latest
technology, better marketing efforts, packages to employees etc. By using these
means NBP can become market leader in banking sector.
SUGGESSTION
There should be planning and advancement in culture and structure of National Bank
of Pakistan. Employees should be trained. Advance technology should be used.

Instruction are not conveyed systematically but rather than casual manner. Right individual is not identified for a right job. The concept of horizontal and vertical promotion is not adopted for the
improvement of the organization.
Poor quality counters services. Delays and decision-making. Inconsistency in policies. Deep-rooted bureaucratic approach. Poor resource utilization.
8.1.7 Opportunities There is a great opportunity for NBP in field of micro finance. Privatization of NBP. There is a good opportunity to utilize the skill educated young talent for

8.1.8 Threats Competing banks launch products very rapidly where as the pace of
introducing new products for capturing market are slow at NBPs end.
Privatization of NCBs and DFIs. Establishment of new private financial institutions and expansion. Merger of some of financial institutions. Political pressure. New products from Private Pakistani and foreign banks. Quality of human resources. Internal politics.
The above SWOT analysis shows that the major strength of the bank lie in intellectual
commitment to change, recent approach to new areas and management, whereas deep
rooted bureaucratic approach and poor quality personnel and frequent changes are the
major weaknesses associated with Human Resource Management. The strengths
should be utilized optimally to overcome weaknesses. Especially the opportunity of
new style of management should be used to counter the threat of inability to change
and the internal politics.
8.2 Critical Analysis
My critical analysis is about National Bank of Pakistan Branch, Katlang Mardan.
Beside so much good aspects of the branch there are some reactive sides, which is to
be given consideration in their first priority. These are some points, which I have
noticed during my eight week internship in the branch.

8.2.1 Professional Training
Most of the employees of NBP lack professionalism. They do not have the required
background to properly conduct the operation of the bank. Many of the employees
have background which is completely irrelevant to the banking profession. They do
not know about the modern technology just like a computer and they dont know that
how the computer can be used properly. Although staff training colleges are working
in all major cities but they are not performing well. For this purpose these staff
colleges should be reorganized and their syllabus should be made in such a way to
help the employees understand the ever changing.
8.2.2 The Transfer Criteria
There is a dire need of amendment in transfer criteria and policies. Some of the staff
members are there in the branch for more than 10 years where as on the other hand
some of them are always in rotation. Therefore, those who are permanently working
they have no fear and they dont work properly and those who are always in transition
they are not interested in working hard because they had to leave this seat and had to
transfer to another place with new work. So there are not such fixed rules for an
employee transfer. Ultimately the bank has to bear the losses. Transfer means a
person is shifted from one station to another. Transfer is not properly carried out.
Some of the employees are continuously serving at the some post. They are simply
rotated at the same branch. Therefore it is recommended that evenly rotation of
every employee should take place after every three years in different branches of the
bank.

8.2.3 Unavailability of Computerize System
Unavailability of the computerize system has made difficult to operate accounts for
the customers. Cashing of cheque takes too much time of the bank and the customers.
It is a new technique for quick operation and to increase the numbers of account
holders.
8.2.4 Wrong Decision of the Government
In past the every department funds would be sent to their own department but now
salaries of Education and Health department are paid to the teachers, doctors and lady
health workers through banks. For receiving their salaries hundreds of employees of
their departments come to the bank, which is out of control for the bank management.
Even the ladies and elders have to wait for hours.
8.2.5 Dress Code
Most of the employees come to the bank in a very casual manner. This shows that
they dont care about their bank reputation and image, which gives a bad impression
to the customer.
8.2.6 Respect for Seniors
Respect for the seniors has come to the end due to which a gap has been arise between
senior staff and junior staff and an unfriendly atmosphere has been developed.
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
64/7651
8.2.7 Narrow Focus of Work
Every person in the branch is expert in his own work. They dont feel to known the
work of another person. So in case of absence of one person another hardly manage to
handle the situation, so the ultimately the customers faces problems.
8.2.8 Unequal Distribution of Workload
Some of the staff members would be for just only one signature and some of them had
even time for having a cup of tea. So there was unequal distribution of workload on
employees.
8.2.9 Lack of Appreciation
Another very important aspect, which I noticed is the lack of appreciation of the
employees. On their good performance, which would make the employees dishearten
and lack of interest in work.

CHAPTER # 9 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During my internship period of six weeks in NBP Katlang Branch I observed a lot of
things and I felt that there is always a nice way of doing things, so some
recommendations suggested for the bank in accordance to the critical analysis.
9.2 Recommendations The manager of the branch should arrange a training program for its
employees to help them perform their duties more efficiently and
effectively because training is one of the important factors that affect the
performance of employees. Therefore process of continuous training
should be put in place.
Management information system is operated only at the regional level.Bank should start its computerized system at the branch level as well to
increase its accuracy and processing and to keep its own data up to the
mark.
The branch should adopt Islamic banking which would increase itscompetitive edge over the other banks.
Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only with the aim thatthey become master of one particular job and are loosing their grip on
other banking operations. In my opinion all the employees should have
regular job experience all out-look towards banking.
Recruitments should be strictly on merit and induction should be afterproper extensive training.
-

Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dress should beaccording to the modern banking style.
The bank should appoint customers relation officer where the volume ofwork is much high. This will give an impression to client for personal
Banking. This will help in improving the image of the bank and hence will
attract more clients.
There must be a separate information counter in that branch of NBP. Sothat as the customer enters in he/she can clearly see someone who would
help him.
The market standing is not as strong as their competitors. For this, NBPshould opt for heavy advertisement on electronic and print media to create
public awareness.
The bank must ensure the participation of the staff in all promotionalactivities of the bank to this end the bank must adhere to the policy of
fringe benefits rapid promotion of capable management and official. The
old age benefit of the bank employee must be increased to motivate staff.
Consumer banking is the area bank is not dealing with and having a lot ofopportunities for the bank. So it will be beneficial for the bank if it start
dealing in auto loans, housing finance or any other consumer requirement.
Short term lending of the bank has decreased in 2009 because the balanceof the bank with other banks has increased to a great extent. It should be at
least maintained so that the bank will be able to generate profit in short
period of time.
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04

The net interest income of the bank is low because of increased expensesand as a result profit is also low. These expenses should be minimized and
managed efficiently to generate more profits for the bank.
As the business is expected to grow in the future so the bank needs toexpand its space to accommodate additional customers. Further,
customers, waiting for their turns, should be provided with proper seating
arrangements and proper parking facility for staff and customers should be
provided.
The manager of the branch should delegated with some powers regardingthe credit extending facilities to save the time of customers and to entertain
more customers at the same time.
Financing facilities in the bank are favorably given to those having hugebank balances whereas others having small accounts, who are in a real
need are ignored. So financial facilities should be provided to those having
small bank balances as well.
It should be ensured that the ATMs are working round the clock withproper cash so that the problem of out of cash ATMs should be avoided
and the customers can enjoy transactions round the clock.
The bank should try to get all the branches online so that faster datatransfer and swift operations can be performed in lesser time.
The bank should try to get all the branches online so that faster datatransfer and swift operations can be performed in lesser time.
As operating fixed assets have increased (offices, cars) yet according toROA it is implied that these assets are not used to their full capacity. So,
the offices that are below capacity level should be sold to release money
-

and they should be rented. And the replacement of cycle of cars should be
lengthened.
The bank should increase its investments and lending proportionately toeach other as both carry different risk portfolio. So, that earning assets will
be brought to their full earning capacity.
9.2 Conclusion
The branch manager is usually given very little authority regardingsanction of advances and over draft whereas the responsibilities are
numerous.
The marketing efforts at the branch level are less disciplined and there areno integrated efforts from all the staff members. The mobilization of
deposits is mainly considered as the responsibility of the branch manager
but the rest of the staff is usually least interested
The bank has been applying the modern concepts of management andmarketing at both micro levels. The interior and exteriors of the branch
have been changed but the staff of the branch has been found less
motivated towards the organizational objectives.
Employees of the branch are fed up with their work they feel bore fromtheir daily work especially the manager.
There is a lack of use of modern technology and most of the importanttasks are performed manually.
The decision making is still centralized as the middle and low levelmanagement is not taken into confidence.
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
69/7656
The promotional policy of the bank was observed as without any specificdirection. Though the bank has defined its mission and vision but no
specific plan has been designed so far.
Most of the employees working in this branch are not much familiar withcomputer. They just know how to use their part of software if any problem
comes in the computer they cant fix it.
The relationship between the employees of the branch is not that goodbecause of which the whole environment of the branch becomes less
favorable for work.
Miss utilization of office utilities, especially the telephone.
9.3 Implementation / Action Plan
Every organization has its own strengths, weaknesses and possesses opportunities for
improvements. Nothing is impossible in this world, as someone has rightly said, An
impossible is often untried.
Here are the implementation/action plans for the recommendations concluded in the
previous chapter.
9..10
Business Development Plan
In order to develop the implementation procedure to reach business development
objective, the following steps should be taken:
a. Campaigns to Open More Accounts
The volume of business, profits and size of bank depends significantly upon the
number of account holders banking with it. In order to increase the number of
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
70/7657
accounts, there should be a clear market plan. The strategy should be to either
penetrate a new market or increase the share of a given market.
The staff, branch managers and executives involved in business development should
prepare lists of different groups of prospective account holders and their neighbors,
friends and influential people and make efforts to open their volume of business and
deposit composition. This should be done in coordination with the various branches of
the Bank.
The campaign to open more and more accounts should be launched on yearly basis by
fixing monthly targets to open new accounts, and targets should be reviewed after
every month by the circles concerned in the Head Office.
b. Campaigns for Mobilization of Deposits:
Deposits are the main source of commercial bank funds and without them banks
cannot exist. It is very important for an individual bank to get funds as its one basic
function is to put them to work safely and profitably.
The act of attracting funds is important but, likes so many other processes of a
salesmanship, is intangible. The Bank can get funds by advertising for them, by direct
solicitation by contacts through their officers, managers and executives. Thus, they
can get the customers and hold them ultimately by furnishing the kind of banking
services that depositors feel is what they want and should have.
One of the best ways to retain deposits and increase business is by courteous and
efficient services for the satisfaction of the needs and requirements of the customers,
because Asatisfied customer is a best advertisement.

c. Campaigns To Increase Business Share:Campaigns to secure highest market share of business like imports, exports, issuance
of letters of guarantee, remittances, bills, identification of productive, secure and
easily realizable advances etc. should be launched. The management of the Bank
should prepare a business development plan strategy by taking into account the
overall market position of the banks in the business, the market share of the Bank and
the proposed plan to achieve the market share in the banking industry. In the light of
the market share, business development targets should be fixed on annual basis by
fixing monthly targets for imports, exports, issuance of letters of guarantee, bills etc.
The achievement of targets should be reviewed every month by the respective circles
at the Head Office and necessary instructions and guidelines provided to the
respective area control and zones where the business performances are not according
to the set targets.
d. Training Of Personnel:We all know that the profitability, growth and survival of a bank depend upon the
business development. Therefore, the Bank should take steps to impart training to the
probationary officers, senior officers, managers and executives in modern business
development techniques and public relations.
Business development training is the process of imparting knowledge creating skills
and shaping attitude, work habits, and consists of telling, showing and teaching the
trainee and then monitoring his/her results and making constructive corrections.

9.3.2 Market Research & Analysis Plan:
Before launching any venture or expansion plan, a detailed market research/analysis
must be carried out using any and/or of the following methods:
a. The best method is collecting first hand data from potential marketthrough surveys. The questionnaires must be unbiased and should not
prompt the desired results.
b. Historical data, if available could be very useful in determining thepotential and trends.
c. In case, the lack of awareness about the service or non-existence ofhistorical data makes it impossible to conduct a research, data of the
locations, which have similar or close characteristics, can be used.
9.3.3 Product Development Plan
The method to achieve strategic objectives is to develop new products or services to
meet the needs of a target market segment. New product development plan of the
Bank should incorporate the following:
A description of the key elements of the new product or service. The return on investment to be achieved at certain specified demand levels. Degree of exclusivity of schemes to be developed. Effects on existing schemes or services and whether alternatives are available
by upgrading or improving existing products.
Printing and packing techniques that may be incorporated in the new serviceor scheme in order to increase sales of existing service.
Interest rates of the new scheme or new service.

9.3.4 Plan for Monitoring & Evaluation of Systems
The systems and procedures of the Bank must be dynamic, flexible and subject to
continuous monitoring and evaluation. The pre-requisites of an effective monitoring
and evaluation process are as follows:
a. A good, open and unbiased feedback system should be established toidentify the problems and suggesting improvements.
b. The feedback system must include the customers and all the staff membersfrom top to bottom within the Bank.
c. The feedback system must allow both, as needed and fixed intervalinformation.
d. The problems and errors must be analyzed and removed. The suggestionsshould be discussed at all concerned levels and implemented if found
useful.
9.3.5 Performance Evaluation Plan
Periodic performance evaluation is very important function to be performed. The
objective of evaluation must not be limited for salary review only. It should include
and be performed in the following manner:
a. Objectives for each employee must be clearly defined in a measurablequantifiable manner.
b. A methodical system must be adopted, whereby the employees alsoparticipate in the evaluation process.
c. The system must be such that where the performance against the givenobjectives can be measured numerically.
-
8/4/2019 Internship Report Nation Bank Limited 04
74/7661
d. The performance review must be done at short intervals say quarterly. Theperiodical performance reporting and meetings could be effective tools.
e. The performance review must be aimed at improving employees skillsand productivity by identifying training needs.
f. The system must be adopted where personal liking and disliking could notpave through.
9.3.8 Hiring Process & Job Description PlanThe human resource people believe that the failure of sub-ordinate is in fact failure of
manager as either he/she has not made the right selection or he/she has not able to
manage the people well. The problem could be in the hiring process or unclear job
description. To enable employees most productive at all levels, the Bank should
improve its hiring process and job description.
This can only be attained through the following:
a. Requirement analysis of the position.b. Preparing qualification and experience specification in accordance with the
objectives to be achieved from the position.
c. Implementing standardized selection criterion.d. Offering reasonable compensation package in accordance with job
requirements, experience, and qualification keeping in view the salary
packages of the existing staff at the same level.
e. Preparing detailed job description.f. Arranging detailed orientation programs.g. Setting objectives for the period.

9.3.9 Internship Program PlanAlthough the above-suggested method would help the selection of right employees a
lot, yet there are chances that candidates having superficial knowledge can get
through and be selected. Thus a lot of organizational resources in terms of time and
money have to be spent on them for their proper training.
One of the best and cost effective methods to select the right kind of people is to hire
graduates from business and management schools as internees. The internship
program should spread over a period of at least six months. During the internship
program, a close watch should be kept on the internees. At the end of the internship
program, the performance of the internees should be evaluated and competent,
diligent and energetic internees should be hired on permanent basis.
9.3.8 Custom
