"Success of any Endeavour is always due to the contribution from different people". Learning is doing. Practical study is essential for any Professional Curriculum otherwise it will merely leap in dark. Apart from classroom study it is necessary to get acquainted with the day to day working of the organization. To fulfill the above objective every student has to undergo practical study before he she can consider himself herself fully qualifying as a Potential Manager. During the course of our training, I learnt that Understanding is one thing and Executing is another. This study helped me to judge the difference between classroom studies of management and practical reality of management in an organization. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mrs. Vaneeta Mittal (Training co-ordinator) for giving me the opportunity to work and learn with MAX Super Specialty Hospital. I would like to convey my sincere thanks to Mr. Vivek Gupta, for suggesting this topic. A sincere word of thanks goes to Mr Dinesh Negi and Dr. C.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1: GENERAL INTRO ABOUT THE SECTOR.
The delivery of modern health care depends on an expanding group of

trained professionals coming together as an interdisciplinary team. The health-care industry incorporates several sectors that are dedicated to providing services and products dedicated to improving the health of individuals. According to market classifications of industry such as the Global Industry Classification Standard and the Industry Classification Benchmark the health-care industry includes health care equipment & services and pharmaceuticals, biotechnology & life sciences. The particular sectors associated with these groups are: biotechnology, diagnostic substances, drug delivery, drug manufacturers, hospitals, medical equipment and instruments, diagnostic laboratories, nursing homes, providers of health care plans and home health care. According to government classifications of Industry, which are mostly based on the United Nations system, the International Standard Industrial Classification, health care generally consists of hospital activities, medical and dental practice activities, and other human health activities. The last class consists of all activities for human health not performed by hospitals or by physicians or dentists. This involves activities of, or under the supervision of, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, scientific or diagnostic laboratiories, pathology clinics, ambulance, nursing home, or other para-medical practitioners in the field of optometry, hydrotherapy, medical massage, music therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, chiropody, homeopathy, chiropractics, acupuncture, etc. In India, healthcare delivery has changed from a predominantly public- funded system. This has led to the emergence of new drivers of the healthcare, which are instrumental in changing the overall face of healthcare delivery in India. However, these new facet need in-depth analysis and radical rethinking, if India has to scale up to the level of developed world in terms of healthcare.

The rising corporate sector in India increases the need for corporate governance of hospitals and healthcare institutions, which ultimately creates the need for skilled and highly qualified doctors, nurses and trained healthcare managers in sufficient number, besides an urgent and mammoth need for capacity building; there is also a requirement in terms of standardization of healthcare services throughout the country. The upward trend in gross domestic product in India is heartening, as it is indirectly aiding the 5% of GDP, which is the total healthcare spending. It is important to understand that, much of the private healthcare spending is actually out of pocket expenses paid by individual patients. The public health spending in India is around 1% for quite some time. However, this has boost in the form of new umbrella program of the government namely the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). In India healthcare services which have largely remained non-equitable, need to be strengthened. These services will benefit through capacity building and redistribution both in terms of health workforce and health recourses. Consequently, this non equitable healthcare delivery system usher in an invisible and untapped new window of opportunity the opportunity for healthcare financing mechanism to be instituted especially in rural areas. There are various critical area like medical insurance reproductive and child health, issues like high maternal mortality rate or infant mortality rate etc are the area where both medical and non-medical professionals seek to start and peruse their careers. EXCEPT for the birth of a child, hospital visits are more often than not unpleasant. If we have been lucky (with the patient's recovery, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment and service), we look back with a sense of relief. But if it has been a disastrous experience we would rather take pleasure in spreading the good word about. That's how critical an administrator's role is in an infirmary. Much has changed in how a hospital is projected today. They are more like profit centers and require business managers to project the right image. Hospital management has indeed come of age. A hospital now hires a health care manager solely for the purpose of keeping the hospital well oiled and running smoothly, providing the maximum benefit to both patients and the staff!

The work of a health care management professional is therefore to completely devote himself to the efficient running of the hospital or health centre. This effectively leaves doctors and associated staff to accomplish their work uninterrupted. The responsibilities of a health care management professional are wide ranging, necessitating multitasking. As a hospital manager, administrative, human resources, supply, infrastructure and equipment management come under his purview. This includes a host of other responsibilities such as employing contractual services, including catering, laundry, support services, hospital help etc. Management of medical supplies and equipment is an important aspect of the job. As an administrator, he also has a say in the policy matters of the hospital, and in collaborations and partnerships with other health service providers. Man management however, is the most important aspect of the job, since a hospital manager has to deal with in-house staff and others at various levels, right from the medical staff to the governing board, including visiting dignitaries. However, this doesn't lessen the importance of gaining an understanding of finance. The hospital administrator or manager also has to be `figures-savvy' with the accounting processes and procedures to curtail any misappropriation of funds. The hospital manager's role however differs according to the size of the organization. A smaller medical or health centre may employ a manager to handle day-to-day administrative work, which involves billing, maintenance, equipment supply, etc. He may work closely with doctors, if it's a group practice and have a say in decision making. A bigger place may require the services of a manager in key aspects as well. Business strategy, administration, work-flow plans, drafting reports, budget plans and managing outreach programmes, seminars etc. But every role that a health care management professional plays in the hospital is integral to his ability as a communicator and administrator, skills which need to be honed well. Also attention to detail, self-discipline, a passion for qualitative service, and an ability to negotiate would help the manager stay admirably afloat.

Health Insurance The Indian health insurance market has emerged as a new and lucrative growth avenue for both the existing players as well as the new entrants. According to a latest research report "Booming Health Insurance in India" by research firm RNCOS released in April, 2010, the health insurance market represents one the fastest growing and second largest non-life insurance segment in the country. The Indian health insurance market has posted record growth in the last two fiscals (2008-09 and 2009-10). Moreover, as per the report, the health insurance premium is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 25 per cent for the period spanning from 2009-10 to 2013-14. Current and Future Scenario Revenue attributable to insurance or Third Party Administrators (TPAs) has grown from 2% in 2001-02 to 16% in 2005-06 Total credit billing has increased to 32% in 2005-06 and it is further likely to increase to 50% by 2011-2012 Domestic health policy premiums have shown a 47% increase in the first quarter of 2006 The number of policies issued as Mediclaims, ESIS, and CGHS are 4,631,534, 8,400,000 and 1,040,000 respectively.

Healthcare major, Fortis Hospitals plans to invest US$ 53.7 million, to expand its facilities panIndia. Moreover, in March 2010, Fortis Healthcare announced the largest overseas acquisition by an Indian company in the healthcare space. It bought the entire 23.9 per cent stake held by TPG Capital in Singapore's Parkway Holding Ltd for US$ 686 million. Asia's leading hospital chain, Columbia Asia Group, which already has six hospitals in the country, plans to ramp-up its operations in India by opening eight more multi-specialty community hospitals with a total capacity of 800 beds by mid-2012. The group has earmarked a total investment of US$ 177.1 million for the 14 hospitals. Medical Tourism According to a new report published by RNCOS, titled "Booming Medical Tourism in India" released in September 2009, medical tourism in India has emerged as the fastest growing segment of the tourism industry despite the global economic downturn. High cost of treatments in the developed countries, particularly the USA and UK, has been forcing patients from such regions to look for alternative and cost-effective destinations to get their treatments done. The Indian medical tourism industry is presently at a nascent stage, but has an enormous potential for future growth and development. As per the market research report, India's share in the global medical tourism industry will climb to around 2.4 per cent by the end of 2012. Moreover, medical tourism is expected to generate revenue of US$ 2.4 billion by 2012, growing at a CAGR of over 27 per cent during 20092012. The number of medical tourists is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 19 per cent in the forecast period to reach 1.1 million by 2012.

Areas of Opportunity The fast growth in the Indian healthcare sector has created various pockets of opportunities for investors. An Ernst and Young and another industry body report released in 2007 highlights several such areas within the healthcare sector.

The medical equipment industry is around US$ 2.17 billion and is growing at 15 per cent per year. It is estimated to reach US$ 4.97 billion by 2012.

The medical textiles industry is projected to double to reach US$ 753 million by 2012. Clinical trials have the potential to become a US$ 1 billion industry by 2010 and the health services outsourcing sector has the potential to grow to US$ 7.4 billion by 2012, from US$ 3.7 billion in 2006.

The US$ 2.2 billion Indian wellness services market is expected to grow at about 30-35 per cent for the next five years on the back of rising consumerism, globalization and changing lifestyles, according to an Ernst and Young and another industry body study titled "Wellness-Exploring the untapped potential" released in April 2009. Mergers And Acquisitions M&A route allows healthcare providers with immediate brand recognition and an aggressive scale up in new geographies With M&A, new standards in healthcare services have been ushered in by large corporate hospitals Merger of smaller hospitals and nursing homes with larger healthcare entities has led to better healthcare service delivery Singapore-based Parkway Group Healthcare PTE Ltd. has firmed up plans of acquiring tertiary care hospital projects in Class A and B cities of India, especially in the South with one operational in Hyderabad. The Asian Heart Institute, Mumbai plans to invest US$ 7.32 million for expansion activities and is actively exploring acquisition targets outside Mumbai

Government Initiative The Government launched the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005. It aims to provide quality healthcare for all and increase the expenditure on healthcare from 0.9 per cent of GDP to 2-3 per cent of GDP by 2012. During the 2009 Interim budget, the government hiked the allocation for NRHM by US$ 423.7 million over and above US$ 2.5 billion. Moreover, the government announced a US$ 64 million initiative in October 2009 to promote domestic manufacture of medical devices such as stents, catheters, heart valves and orthopedic implants that will lead to lower prices of this critical equipment. According to Union Budget 2010-11, the Finance Minister, Mr. Prefab Mukherjee increased the plan allocation for Ministry of Health and Family Welfare from US$ 4.2 billion in 2009-10 to US$ 4.8 billion in 2010-11. Moreover, in order to meet revised cost of construction, in March 2010 the government allocated an additional US$ 1.23 billion for six upcoming AIIMS-like institutes and upgradation of 13 existing Government Medical Colleges.

CHAPTER 3 DISCUSSION ON TRAINING

3.1: STUDENTS WORK PROFILE (ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY), TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES USED Human Resource is that element within a company which deals with the human aspects/needs of workers. At Max Super Specialty Hospital, it was fortunate to undergo training and enhance knowledge in the Human Resource department. Work profile: As a management trainee here at first the overall induction of the department was done by the Guides and gave us a picture of what will be the work profile during the training period. Further ground level work was started, which included work like file management, understanding the forms and formats and their importance. The employee files according to the centralized checklist were checked. Understood the proper way of managing the data as it involved the management of the original documents of the new employee and learned the proper numeric segregation of the different employees in different departments as per their employee ID. Apart from the file management there were various other ground work like distributing tea/coffee coupons to the employees at the start of the month and maintaining the registers like Trainees attendance Missed punched entries New joinee attendance Outdoor duty entries Grievance register Accidents etc. Sometimes calling was done to the employees for different issues like submission of their documents, salary account opening, scanning of finger prints of new employees for the biometric system or any other required information was cleared through telecommunication. Other than the groundwork some other HR functions were handled like joining formalities of nurses, pharmacists, support staff and physician. The new employees were helped in understanding the various forms and format. And an idea about the insurance benefits and other

benefits like provident funds and gratuity was given and an employee manual was handed over to them for detailed information about MSSH and various other rights and benefits. Along with all the crucial HR functions other activities like Employee Engagement were also observed and participated with the HR team. Tools and techniques used during training: Learned working on HRIS (Human Resource Information System) Data entries were done in MS Excel like making dependent details for insurance and various other details were entered in HRIS through excel sheet.

To analyze the Employment Satisfaction by survey based on questionnaire in order to increase the employment retention by recommendations.

4.2: STATEMENT OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES.

To analyze the data collected by questionnaire and to recommend some measures in order to improvise the policies for increasing the employee satisfaction so that employment retention will increase.

4.3: RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY.

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem .it may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. The study of research methodology gives us the necessary training in gathering materials, arranging them, participating in filed when required and training in techniques for the collection of data appropriate for a particular problem.

What is research? According to Clarifford Woody (1944) research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solution, collecting, organizing and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions and last carefully testing the conclusion to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. Thus in research we talk not only of the methods used but also the logic behind the method we use in the context of our research, so the result can be evaluated by the researcher or others concerned. Research Methodology is the most practical way of obtaining and analyzing data and it plays an important role in project. All the methods used by the social research in their fact & finding mission constitute methodology. Methodology is defined as The study of methods by which gets knowledge; it deals with the cognitive processes imposed on research by problems arising from the nature of its subject matter. The motive of researcher is to uncover truth or fact method comprises the procedure used for generating, collecting, and evaluating the data. Methods are ways of obtaining information for assessing explanations. Methodology thus prepares the investigator to adopt techniques to neutralize the scientist to uncover truth, find the explanation for the assurance of a similar phenomenon .Research methodology is the description, explanation and justification of various methods of conduct of research. Research Design A descriptive research design is selected by the researcher as in the project of Employee retention descriptive study is undertaken in many circumstance when researcher is interested in knowledge the characteristics of the groups such as age, sex, educational level, occupation or income; making projection of a certain things; or determining the relationship between two or more variables, descriptive study may be necessary.

CHAPTER 5 ANALYSIS

5.1: Analysis of data

To analyzing the results of the survey, the researcher first grouped a surveys cased or how each responder reacted to the different statements. Respondents scoring either 4 or 5, More True, become one group (1/2 Group). Those seeing 1,2&3 Less True, became a second (1/2 Group). Similar Questions was grouped in separate category as shown in Table 5.1. Each survey statement was analyzed and response percentiles were calculated for each analysis group. These statements are listed in sample Questionnaire Annexure 1. The survey was done for old, fresher and new employee to analyze their satisfaction level and the result was used to formulate new HR policies for employee retention. 87 77 65 22 13 respondents was working in max fro < 6 months >6months<1yr 1 yr<3 yrs 3yrs<5 yrs >5yrs

24-support staff, 51-paramedical staff, 136-nursing staff, 24- medical staff and 29 -front office staff where taken as respondents for the survey. The proportion of no. of responders in each work group reflects the proportion of work force involved in running a hospital.

Limitations of Study
While every attempt was been made to compile one validate data. Certain limitations exist which must now be examined. The survey used for this project made no attempt to distinguish the age, sex, education, location, or economic status of any of the respondents. It is possible that the sample may not be reflective of the demographics of the MSSH population. Entire recommendation was based on the survey conducted by HR department which was analyzed by researcher. As the researcher used the secondary data validity remains questionable. Due to the limited time, scope and budget of this research effort, it will not be possible to track respondents over the next several years. As this is the case, the researcher will have no opportunity to determine whether respondents have remained with or departed from their current company during the next few years.

CHAPTER 6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

6.1: Summary of learning experience

This project was made in the HR department and my major part of work is to analyze the employee satisfaction in organization by analyzing a questionnaire based survey done by HR team and to give suggestions for employee retention based on that. A excel sheet of all the responses I got through questionnaire was analyzed to find out various areas that needs improvement in order to improve employee retention. Beside these I was also undergone the various recruitment and joining activities in the organization and also done calling for various purposes. I learned how he HR prepares all the employment engagement activities within the organization which in return increases the employee retention. How the HR maintains the interest of the employees and works in the direction for fulfilling their interests was observed closely.

Teamwork
As the HR vision statement of MAX says To create an institute of people with right mix of skills, competence & Attitude and to engage them constructively in delivering our promise of medical and service excellence same statement applies to my experience also. When I started my work in the department it was a completely different experience for me because I was working with the people having different attitude, skill and competence and to see them working as a team was a great learning experience for me.

Time Management
It is said that time is precious and volatile. Because money can be recouped after loosing but once time passes it doesn't come back. Being an HR specialization or any other, the time is important for everyone. An importance of the time is understood after working in a giant organization like MAX Hospital. How the work is scheduled so that everything will be at its place as and when asked by the auditors.

Planning
To plan is the first function of any management procedure. No further implementation can be done without having a proper planning system in an organization. One has to plan for even the smallest of things. What, How, Where, When, Why etc. questions are to be asked within and steps are taken accordingly and proper planning starts from a good organizer as that was in this organization. And HR department was the right place to see all the work done through planning.

Decision Making
Many a time decision making becomes a very typical task for various managers. Reaching a final decision often takes many days. Learning of selection process was important experience because selection of a good employee itself gives a multiple aid to the organization. Assisting the team in joining formalities given me a knowledge about the whole process.

Pressure Handling
Stress as well as pressure is often the discussing factors in a corporate. Those will always be there in the corporate world as one is given jobs of great responsibilities. But the skill is to work under pressure and give one's hundred percent was seen at the time of audit when whole department was working with planning and team work to handle the pressure of the final moments.

6.2: Conclusions and Recommendations

An employee leaving a company is like a stone thrown in a still pond: ripples of disruption spread through the organization, creating unbalance. In any business, this unbalance can be expensive. From the employer's perspective, employees are an investment. Interview is to make sure that an individual has good work ethic, motivation, and drive. Most of the time, employees are considered a financial investment. Yet there's much more to it than that. There is a significant emotional investment that is crucial to accelerating business strategies and reaching organizational goals. After a company has invested considerable time and money recruiting and training its employees, it must now determine how to make sure those valuable employees are productive and get them to remain loyal to its firm. Retention of employees is essential to maintain client relationships and keep recruiting and training costs in line. Losing an experienced employee almost always results in significant costs to any firm. The keys to employee satisfaction and retention are founded on strong leadership and sound management practices. If one can master these arts, they should have happy, loyal employees and clients, resulting in growth, profits and personal gratification. The research performed for this report indicates that overall satisfaction level of the organization was 81% which is very appreciable because getting 81% satisfaction in an matrix type of organization is not an easy task which shows the functionality of HR department in improving the employee retention. Different kind of employment engagement activities like Birthday party, painting competition for childrens, Dewali gifts, coupons, Christmas Celibration, reward and recognition activities like employee of the month etc. shows how functional and active HR department is. Although few areas need improvement like motivation is lacking (28%- Dissatisfied) which cant be taken as good sign for any organization because a motivated employee can do a lot of thing batter then others, on the other hand it will motivate other to work in the same manner. The gap of satisfaction in generation X and Y is clearly seen from Table 5.4 Few steps needed to be taken to reduce this gap. Managerial employees are more dissatisfied then professional employees as the data shows in Table 5.3 Dissatisfaction level is increasing as the duration of stay with MAX increase as shown in Table 5.2 employee with 3-5 yrs of stay are showing more satisfaction.

When considering the twenty four dimensions of the workplace examined in this research study, it is safe to conclude that altering even a few of an employees perceptions can help increase the desire to stay with the organization. The proper training of managers and supervisors to recognize the profile of each individual, coupled with training in how to turn around perceptions that the organization controls can considerably improve retention efforts. It is very unlikely that a current employee would honestly complete the survey used for this report for their current employer. However, understanding the dimensions which motivate retention, it is possible for an organization to create mechanisms to help each manager capture this important information while there is still time to positively intervene. Few of the recommendation to have employment retention based on this project are:1.

Write out the recognition, what the employee did, why it was important, and how the actions served your organization. Give a copy of the letter to the employee and to the department head and Place a copy in the employees file. Write a personal note to the employee. Perhaps have your supervisor sign it, too. Photocopy the note and place the recognition in the employees file.

2.

3.

Accompany the verbal recognition with a gift. Merchandise that carries the company logo, even certificates of appreciation reinforces the employee recognition. Recognize excellent performance, and especially, link pay to performance Everyone likes cash or the equivalent in gift cards, gift certificates, and checks. If you use a consumable form of employee recognition, accompany the cash with a note or letter. When the money has been spent, you want the employee to remember the recognition.

4.

5.

Present the recognition publicly, at an employee meeting, for example. Even if the employee is uncomfortable with publicity, it is important for the other employees to know that employees are receiving recognition. Success celebration : Recognize and celebrate success. Mark their passage as important goals are achieved.

6.

7.

Life style : Enable employees to balance work and life. Allow flexible starting times, core business hours and flexible ending times Transparent Recruitment Policy : The prestige of the Institution or organization reflects on account of the transparent recruitment policy. Specific guidelines should be framed to meet the various parameters in the recruitment section

8.

9.

Encourage creativity and innovation: Create an atmosphere where employees feel comfortable making suggestions and trying out new ideas. Invest in training: Training improves customer service and strengthens employee loyalty. Pre-work training should include a review of your policies and procedures, with special emphasis on the most important subjects. Every training program should begin by aligning business objectives with individual needs.

10.

11.

Help employees learn: Employers, faced with employees with insufficient education to perform their jobs, are investing more in remedial education for their people. The more an organization can demonstrate to candidates and new employees that it can help them achieve their original career goals, the more effectively that organization can be in recruiting and retaining those employees. Support: Employees will appreciate having adequate support. They need someone readily available to help when they have questions or encounter problems.

12.

13.

Corporate Culture: World-class companies always have in common World-class cultures. Leaders of such businesses recognize that their companies exist to satisfy a social need. Profits are not the goal, but are a byproduct of meeting the needs of customers and employees. Empowerment: Engage employees in decision-making; give them the authority to act in the best interests of the company. Provide training in resolving client problems and then trust them to make the right decisions.

14.

15.

Having Fun: People like to work in an environment that is enjoyable; they can get burned out if the work environment is totally serious and strictly business. Mentoring the employees: Mentoring involves 4 key ingredients namely, humility, inclusion, generosity and freedom.

16.

17.

Improve manager and employee relationships. Concentrate on the people that stay with you to learn what makes them happy then give them more of it! "People leave

managers, not companies. If you have a turnover problem, look first at your managers," Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman write in First, Break All the Rules.
18.

Provide training in core management skills to every manager. Core management skills include how to: integrate performance management including goal setting, give and receive feedback, recognize and value employees, coach employee performance, handle employee complaints and problems, provide a motivating work environment, and hold career development discussions with employees

Thus we can say that attracting and retaining talent is not just a matter of higher salaries and more perks. It involves shaping the whole organization, its vision, values, strategy, leadership, rewards and recognition.

Above all, retaining employees is a matter of building loyalty. More often than not, the ability to develop loyalty is linked to the credibility of the top management. Building the right culture is an important step in improving employee loyalty. It involves understanding the existing values, clarifying business goals and strategy, defining the desired culture and introducing change management initiatives
