JOB DESCRIPTION Job descriptions clearly identify and spell out the responsibilities of a specific job.

Job descriptions also include information about working conditions, tools, equipment used, knowledge and skills needed, and relationships with other positions. Job descriptions are written statements that describe the:

Page 12

•

duties,

•

responsibilities,

•

most important contributions and outcomes needed from a position,

•

required qualifications of candidates, and

•

reporting relationship and coworkers of a particular job.

JOB SPECIFICATION Derived from job analysis, it is a statement of employee characteristics and qualifications required for satisfactory performance of defined duties and tasks comprisingaspecific job or function.

JOB DESIGN It is the division of the total task to be performed into the manageable and efficient units-positions, departments and division and to provide for their proper integration.

Through job design, organizations try to raise productivity levels by offering nonmonetary rewards such as greater satisfaction from a sense of personal achievement in meeting the increased challenge and responsibility of one's work. Job enlargement, job enrichment, job rotation, and job simplification are the various techniques used in a job design exercise.

JOB ANALYSIS A job analysis is the process used to collect information about the duties, responsibilities,necessary skills, outcomes, and work environment of a particular job.

You need as much data as possible to put together a job description, which is the frequent outcome of the job analysis. Additional outcomes include recruiting plans, Page 13

position postings and advertisements, and performance development planning within your performance management system.

PURPOSE AND USES OF JOB ANALYSIS 1. Purpose of job analysis in Recruitment and Selection: Job analysis is very important for contents as: • Job duties that should be included in advertisements of vacant positions; • Appropriate salary level for the position to help determine what salary should be offered to a candidate; • Minimum requirements (education and/or experience) for screening applicants; • Interview questions; • Selection tests/instruments (e.g., written tests; oral tests; job simulations); • Applicant appraisal/evaluation forms; • Orientation materials for applicants/new hires 2. Purpose of job analysis in Job evaluation • Judges relative worth of jobs in an organization • Sets fair compensation rates 3. Purpose of job analysis in Job design • Reduce personnel costs, streamline work processes, • Increase productivity and employee empowerment, • Enhance job satisfaction and provide greater scheduling flexibility for the employee.

• Simplify job with too many disparate activities • Identifies what must be performed, how it will be performed, where it is to be performed and who will perform it.

4. Purpose of job analysis in Compensation and Benefits: Job Analysis can be used in compensation to identify or determine:

Page 14

• Skill levels • Compensation job factors • Work environment (e.g., hazards; attention; physical effort) • Responsibilities (e.g., fiscal; supervisory) 5. Importance of job analysis in Performance Appraisal: Job Analysis can be used in performance review to identify or develop: • Goals and objectives • Performance standards • Evaluation criteria • Length of probationary periods • Duties to be evaluated

6. Importance of job analysis in Training and development: Job Analysis can be used in training needs assessment to identify or develop: • Training content • Assessment tests to measure effectiveness of training • Equipment to be used in delivering the training • Methods of training (i.e., small group, computer-based, video, classroom…)

7. Importance of job analysis in Compliance with labor law: • Identify requirements in compliance with labor law.

• Compliance with Civil Rights Legislation in US. • EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) compliance in US • Required level of education (indirectly related to salary level 8. Job analysis increases productivity How a job analysis increases productivity?

Page 15

• Job analysis can use methods of time and motion study or micro-motion analysis in order to time and motion for job. • Job analysis also identify performance criteria so that it promote worker for best performance.

HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING Human resources planning refers to classic HR administrative functions, and the evaluation and identification of human resources requirements for meeting organizational goals. It also requires an assessment of the availability of the qualified resources that will be needed. Human resources planning should be a key component of nearly every corporation’s strategic business planning. To ensure their competitive advantage in the marketplace, organizations must implement innovative strategies that are designed to enhance their employee retention rate and recruit fresh talent into their companies.

ADVANTAGE OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING a) Human resource planning is necessary of all organization .The cooperate pal of the organization regarding expansion, diversification, technological change, should be backed up by the availability of human resources. It suggests modification in the plan when the expected manpower is not available. b) It offsets uncertainty and change. Sometime the organization may have machines and money but not men and consequently the production cannot be started. It offsets such uncertainly and changes to the maximum possible and enables the society to have right men at right time and in the right place. c) It provides scope for advancement and development of employees through training, development etc.

Page 16

d) It helps to satisfy the individual needs of the employees for the promotions transfers, salary enhancement, better benefits etc. e) It helps in anticipating the cost of salary, benefits and all the cost of human resources facilitating the formulation of budgets in a society.

PROCESS OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING The process has gained importance in India with the increase in size of business enterprise, complex production technology and the adaptation of professional management technique. It may be rightly regarded as a multistep process including issues such as 1. Deciding goals or objectives 2. Estimating

requirements.

3. Auditing human resource 4. Planning job requirements and job descriptions.

5. Developing human resource plan.

RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION Recruitment: Recruitment is defined as, “a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate numbers to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce.” Edwin B. Flippo defined recruitment as “the process of searching for prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization.” In Page 17

simple words recruitment can be defined as a ‘linking function’-joining together those with jobs to fill and those seeking jobs.

Purpose and Importance of recruitment The general purpose of recruitment is to provide a pool of potentially qualified job candidates. Specifically, the purposes and needs are: •

Determine the present and future requirements of the organization in conjunction with

its personnel-planning and job-analysis activities.

•

Increase the pool of job candidates at minimum cost.

•

Help increase the success rate of the selection process by reducing the number of

visibly, under qualified or overqualified job applicants.

•

Help reduce the probability that job applicants, once recruited and selected, will leave

the organization only after a short period of time.

•

RECRUITMENT PROCESS The recruitment and selection is the major function of the human resource department and recruitment process is the first step towards creating the competitive strength and the recruitment strategic advantage for the organisations.

Recruitment process involves a systematic procedure from sourcing the candidates to arranging and conducting the interviews and requires many resources and time.

A general recruitment process is as follows: •

Identifying the vacancy: The recruitment process begins with the human resource department receiving requisitions for recruitment from any department of the company. These contain:

• Posts to be filled

Page 19

• Number of persons • Duties to be performed • Qualifications required •

Preparing the job description and person specification.

•

Locating and developing the sources of required number and type of employees (Advertising etc).

•

Short-listing and identifying the prospective employee with required characteristics.

•

Arranging the interviews with the selected candidates.

•

Conducting the interview and decision making.

1. Identify vacancy 2. Prepare job description and person specification 3. Advertising the vacancy Page 20

4. Managing the response 5. Short-listing 6. Arrange interviews 7. Conducting interview and decision making The recruitment process is immediately followed by the selection process i.e. the final interviews and the decision making, conveying the decision and the appointment formalities.

SELECTION PROCESS

Employee Selection is the process of putting right men on right job. It is a procedure of matching organizational requirements with the skills and qualifications of people.

Effective selection can be done only when there is effective matching. By selecting best candidate for the required job, the organization will get quality performance of employees. Moreover, organization will face less of absenteeism and employee turnover problems. By selecting right candidate for the required job, organization will also save time and money. Proper screening of candidates takes place during selection procedure. All the potential candidates who apply for the given job are tested.But selection must be differentiated from recruitment, though these are two phases of employment process. Recruitment is considered to be a positive process as it motivates more of candidates to apply for the job. It creates a pool of applicants. It is just sourcing of data. While selection is a negative process as the inappropriate candidates are rejected here. Recruitment precedes selection in staffing process. Selection involves choosing the best candidate with best abilities, skills and knowledge for the required job.

Page 21

The Employee selection Process takes place in following order1. Preliminary Interviews- It is used to eliminate those candidates who do not meet the minimum eligiblity criteria laid down by the organization. The skills, academic and family background, competencies and interests of the candidate are examined during preliminary interview. Preliminary interviews are less formalized and planned than the final interviews. The candidates are given a brief up about the company and the job profile; and it is also examined how much the candidate knows about the company. Preliminary interviews are also called screening interviews.

2. Application blanks- The candidates who clear the preliminary interview are required to fill application blank. It contains data record of the candidates such as details about age, qualifications, reason for leaving previous job, experience, etc.

3. Written Tests- Various written tests conducted during selection procedure are aptitude test, intelligence test, reasoning test, personality test, etc. These tests are used to objectively assess the potential candidate. They should not be biased.

4. Employment Interviews- It is a one to one interaction between the interviewer and the potential candidate. It is used to find whether the candidate is best suited for the required job or not. But such interviews consume time and money both. Moreover the competencies of the candidate cannot be judged. Such interviews may be biased at times. Such interviews should be conducted properly. No distractions should be there in room. There should be an honest communication between candidate and interviewer.

Page 22

5. Medical examination- Medical tests are conducted to ensure physical fitness of the potential employee. It will decrease chances of employee absenteeism.

6. Appointment Letter- A reference check is made about the candidate selected and then finally he is appointed by giving a formal appointment letter.

1.2 INDUSTRY PROFILE a.Origin and development of the industry Outsourcing is one such abstracted term that has, over time, amassed considerable positive momentum as well as negative baggage. Outsourcing has been around since the time of the hunters and gatherers. Those who were strong hunters hunted and those who were strong gatherers gathered. Simply put, the primitive society perhaps subconsciously recognised the importance of specialisation and outsourced certain functions to those who excelled at them or, in economic terms, performed them more efficiently.

Over a period of time, many started equating outsourcing with specialisation (or division of labour). Outsourcing is a utilitarian concept used in business and accounting. From the accounting point of view, it is defined as the transfer of an internal service function to an outside vendor.Outsourcing was not formally identified as a business strategy until 1989. However, most organizations were not totally selfsufficient; they outsourced those functions for which they had no competency internally. Outsourcing support services is the next stage. In the 1990s, as organizations began to focus more on cost-saving measures, they started to outsource those functions necessary to run a company but not related specifically to the core business. Managers contracted with emerging service companies to deliver accounting, human resources, data processing, internal mail distribution, security, plant maintenance, and the like as a matter of "good housekeeping" (Alexander & Page 23

Young, 1996). Outsourcing components to effect cost savings in key functions is yet another stage as managers seeks to improve their finances.Why is it advantageous to buy services from the outside rather than conduct them from within the company?

The answer to this question, which is clearly outlined, is because the service providers who specialise in these services have developed efficiencies and learned how to offer high quality and competitive pricing.Traditionally, companies have outsourced for tactical reasons - reduce costs, free up cash, obtain resources not available internally, and improve their performance. Outsourcing some functions can shift costs from fixed to variable, thus enhancing a company's ability to manage costs more effectively. If a company is moving into a new arena, outsourcing enables it to add new functions with minimal impact on internal resources. It is difficult to quarrel with cost savings, and the companies that approach outsourcing with careful planning save money.

Surveying 30 companies, the Outsourcing Institute found they averaged a 9 percent cost savings and a 15 percent increase in capacity by outsourcing. b.Growth and present status of the industry Growth of BPO Sector in India during the first half of 2007 was showing a moderate trend of growth which is registered at 14%. Five years ago, the growth in this sector was quite low due to less contracts but the situation is worse now. However, the growth of the BPO sector is expected to improve. The BPO and KPO sectors in India have been showing some positive signs with demands from western countries increasing manifold due to the availability of cost-effective labor in India, which is highly skilled and also fluent in English. The BPOs in India are focused on increasing the growth through change in pricing techniques. Pricing in a BPO is supposed to be based on the value added to the business. So a remarkable change is in store as the

Page 24

BPOs in India work towards their full potential.Of course, the big boom in the BPO industry in 2003 had generated a lot of employment opportunities and continues even today. Nevertheless, Indian BPO sector is facing competition from countries like Philippines, Mexico, Malaysia, China, and Canada. The expected growth of this sector in 2003 was 25%. Nations like the United States and Europe are showing great interest in increasing their investments in the Indian BPO sector.

The trends in growth of the BPO sector in India are as follows: •

2003 - USD 2.8 billion

•

2004 - USD 3.9 billion

•

2005 - USD 5.7 billion

The growth in the BPO sector of India in 2004 was mainly due to the demands from the two segments . BFSI and telecommunications. There were low telecom costs for the leased lines and 400 companies were part of the BPO sector of India. The companies that were involved included third parties, Indian companies, and multinational corporations. Growth of BPO sector in India has been truly impressive in recent years, but things can get even better, according to market analysts. India stands out already as a market leader as far as BPOs are concerned and so India also attracts huge foreign investments which are extremely essential since the Indian economy is expected to have an unprecedented growth in the years to come. c.Future of the industry From the last two decades Business Process Outsourcing is catering various industries like

Retail,

Insurance,

Mortgage,

Banking

and

Finance,

Healthcare,

Telecommunications, Technology, Travel and Hospitality and more. Companies are Page 25

consolidating and standardizing operating processes by outsourcing the business process to third parties that offer economies and focused management expertise. In the present scenario many UK and USA based companies are resorting to Asian countries like India, China, Russia and Philippines to outsource their business processes. Offshore BPO is predicted to grow at a significant rate per year. BPO within Asia-Pacific market is expected to display a growth rate of about $18 billion by 2012. Business Process Outsourcing help companies achieve indomitable position in the service market and generate high profits by improving their business operations.

Business Process Outsourcing is a tool that allows the companies to survive in the cut throat competition by retaining their customers and providing high rate of customer satisfaction. The advancements in technology and infrastructure have made it easier to carry out BPO services. Countries offering cost advantage by way of cheap labor along with skilled workforce are ideal destinations for BPO industry. Future of BPO in India: Today 55% BPO services are carried out by Indians and the future prospects are even more promising with increasing number of graduates in the country who are well versed in English language. People in India have now started looking at BPO jobs as long term career as it offers fast-track career advancement opportunities.

Earlier only professional degree holders used to get hefty salaries but the advent of BPO has made graduates to earn well in the service sector. Subsequently India’s economy has got a hike since the establishment of BPO firms.

PROFILE OF THE ORGANISATION

Page 28

2.1 ORIGIN OF THE ORGANISATION Kaizen Konsultancy is a new generation –team owned and operated business. It is establish in 10 july 2008 at Malviya nagar ,New Delhi.Kaizen is a Japanese word means for improvement. It is a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. When applied to the workplace, Kaizen activities continually improve all functions of a business from manufacturing to management and from the CEO to the assembly line workers. By improving the standardized activities and processes, Kaizen aims to eliminate waste. Kaizen was first implemented in several Japanese businesses during the country's recovery after World War II, including Toyota, and has since spread to businesses throughout the world. So we at Kaizen Konsultancy strongly believe in this philosophy and keeping Kaizen theory in our mind we want to serve our clients the best. Kaizen Konsultancy is a search firm offering end to end, real time, turn-key solutions in Human Resource Management.

Kaizen Konsultancy Services, founded by a team of HR and software professionals provide IT and Non-IT manpower consulting services to global market.Kaizen aims at increasing the productivity of our client by constantly catering to their needs with atmost precession and professionalism. We nurture rising technologies, offer architecture alternatives and technology value adds and deliver customized solutions according to the needs of the client and help clients align their IT systems with business goals.

We follow the Kaizen model.

It is the tortoise compared to the traditional western management hare. In the west, big changes equal big results - that’s the mantra that is traditionally chanted in the west. The result is often a big expenditure of money and time and in the end, the Page 29

results are not that great.

•

We rely on long-term, long lasting and non-dramatic changes.

•

“Small steps done many times” is the method that we rely on.

In Kaizen model, itis a group effort – everyone is involved and contributing. It requires a small investment of money, but a large investment in effort, cooperation and training. If done correctly, the results are often amazing.

We at Kaizen Konsultancy have a commitment to achieve best of best in today’s enviroment.We adhere towards our business,clients,employees,vendors and soceity at large with commitment of quality and service.We are driven by a customer-oriented approach with focus on impeccable standards of operational excellence ,seamless integration of project aspects and providing tailor-made solutions that meet the clients needs.We provide professional development opportunities that promote organizational and individual success.

The Principle “kaizen” means Continuous improvement. The method is a Team approach, implemented with utmost sincerity to achieve best result! The concept does not end by providing services by just assisting to establish a venture or running a business, rather, by providing long lasting solution!

2.2GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ORGANIZATION Presently Kaizen Konsultancy is acquiring a good position in the market through its quality goods and services.This company is approved by ISO and registered in New Delhi.Kaizen is successful in developing good relationship with other organizations.

Kaizen generates process-oriented thinking, since processes must be improved before Page 30

we get improved results. Kaizen is also people-oriented and is directed at people's efforts. This contrasts sharply with the result oriented thinking of most Western managers.

In Japan, the process is considered just as important as the obviously intended result.

In the US, generally speaking, no matter how hard a person works, lack of results will result in a poor personal rating and lower income or status. The individual's contribution is valued only for its concrete results.

Make safety a top priority in the workplace by clearly marking all hazards. or constant. All systems are subject to deteriorate unless a continuing effort is made to maintain or improve, as you can see in the figure below. The worst companies are those that do nothing but maintenance (no internal drive for Kaizen OR innovation).

Improvement by definition is slow, gradual and often invisible with effects that are felt over the long run.

In a slow-growth economy, Kaizen often has a better payoff than innovation does. For example: it's difficult to increase sales by 10% but it's not so difficult to cut manufacturing costs by 10%. However, because Western management is so focused on the short term and immediate results, often the Kaizen approach is not given the opportunity. Western management

Page 31

philosophy might be that they don't care what one do or how one does it. They want the results- and they want it instantly. If profit is the only means to measure performance of top management, then they will be reluctant to initiate improvements that risk hurting short-term profits, even if the long-term benefits of such change are obvious.

Kaizen does not call for a large investment to implement it, but it does call for a great deal of continuous effort and commitment. To implement Kaizen, you need only simple, conventional techniques. Often, common sense is all that is needed. On the other hand, innovation usually requires highly sophisticated technology, as well as a huge investment.

Kaizen is a constant slope, while innovation is a staircase. Often, innovation do es not bring the staircase effect, however, because it lacks the Kaizen strategy to go along with it. Once a new system has been installed as a result of new innovation, it is subject to steady deterioration unless continuing efforts are made to first maintain it and then improve on it. There is no such thing as static.

The benefits of Kaizen are obvious to those who have introduced it. Kaizen leads to improved quality and greater productivity. Where Kaizen is introduced for the first time, management may easily see productivity increase by 30 percent, 50 percent and even 100 percent and more, all without any major capital investments. Kaizen helps lower the breakeven point. It helps management to become more attentive to customer needs and build a system that takes customer requirements into account.

The Kaizen strategy strives to give undivided attention to both process and result. It is the effort that counts when we are talking about process Kaizen requires virtually everyone's personal efforts and the knowledge that with that effort and time, improvements will be made. Management must make a conscious and continuous

Page 32

effort to support it. It requires a substantial management commitment of time and effort. Investing in Kaizen means investing people, not capital.

2.3PRESENT STATUS OF THE ORGANISATION Kaizen can assist any overseas company which is interested in setting up business in India to comply with certain formalities by setting up a private/public limited company. Continuous improvement and proper management should develop a system that rewards the efforts of both workers and managers, and not just the recognition of results.

Kaizen does not replace or preclude innovation. Rather, the two are complementary.

Ideally, innovation should take off after Kaizen has been exhausted, and Kaizen should follow as soon as innovation is initiated. Kaizen and innovation are inseparable ingredients in progress.

The Kaizen concept is valid not only in Japan, but in other countries. All people have an instinctive desire to improve themselves. Although it is true that cultural factors affect an individual's behavior, it is also true that the individual's behavior can be measured and affected through a series of factors or processes. Thus, it is always possible regardless of the culture, to break behavior down into processes and to establish control points and check points. This is why such management tools and decision-making and problem solving have a universal validity.
