The Standard Bank Founded in the Cape Province of South Africa in 1862 by John Paterson. Commenced business in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, in January 1863. Was prominent in financing the development of the diamond fields of Kimberley from 1867 and later extended its network further north to the new town of Johannesburg when gold was discovered there in 1885 Expanded in Southern, Central and Eastern Africa and by 1953 had 600 offices. In 1965, it merged with the Bank of West Africa expanding its operations into Cameroon, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. In 1969, the decision was made by Chartered and by Standard to undergo a friendly merger. All was going well until 1986, when a hostile takeover bid was made for the Group by Lloyds Bank of the United Kingdom. When the bid was defeated, Standard Chartered entered a period of change. Provisions had to be made against third world debt exposure and loans to corporations and entrepreneurs who could not meet their commitments. Standard Chartered began a series of divestments notably in the United States and South Africa, and also entered into a number of asset sales. From the early 90s, Standard Chartered has focused on developing its strong franchises in Asia, the Middle East and Africa using its operations in the United Kingdom and North America to provide customers with a bridge between these markets. Secondly, it would focus on consumer, corporate and institutional banking, and on the provision of treasury services areas in which the Group had particular strength and expertise. In the new millennium we acquired Grindlays Bank from the ANZ Group and the Chase Consumer Banking operations in Hong Kong in 2000.

1.3

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Scope of the study is to collect information regarding the manpower planning, recruitment & selection process of the Standard Chartered Bank To analyze the level of satisfaction of the employees in respect of the process followed in the organization

1.4 RECRUITMENT
Before an organization can fill a job vacancy, it must find people who not only are qualified for the position but also who want a job. Recruitment refers to organizational activities that influence the number and type of applicants who apply for a job and whether the applicants accept the jobs if offered. Thus recruitment is directly related to both human resource planning and selection. Although it can be quite expensive, organizations have not always viewed recruitment as systematically as other HR functions such as selection. During the coming years, however the importance of recruitment will increase for many organization's for at least two reasons: A majority of companies think that they will face shortage of employees who posses the necessary skills for the jobs. The downsizing and cost saving measures undertaken by many companies in recent years have left recruitment budgets much smaller than before. Thus recruiters will have to become acquainted with new and more cost-effective ways of attracting qualified applicants. A process of finding and attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applications from which new employees are selected.

It is the process to discover sources of manpower to meet the requirement of staffing schedule and to employ effective measures.

Recruitment of candidates is the function preceding the selection, which helps create a pool of prospective employees for the organisation so that the management can select

the right candidate for the right job from this pool. The main objective of the recruitment process is to expedite the selection process.

1.5 METHODS OF RECRUTMENT IN STANDARD CHARTED INTERNAL SORCES:

JOB POSTING SKILLS INVENTORY JOB BIDDING REFERRALS

EXTERNAL SOURCES:
SCHOOL AND COLLEGE RECRUTING ADVERTISING PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES INTERNET AND THE WWW

1.6 METHODS OF RECRUITING

Most job openings are filled with people from within the organization and entry level positions are the most likely to be filled by external sources. Methods for internal recruiting include job posting, skill inventories, job bidding and referrals. Methods of external recruiting include school and college recruiting, advertising, and using employment agencies and executive research firms and the internet. Internal versus external recruiting methods Internal recruiting methods include posting position openings, distributing memos within the organization and searching organizational databases for a match between the

skills required to perform the job and the skills held by the current employees. This method of recruiting looks to internal sources to fill positions and encourages promotions from within. External recruiting methods include advertising position. Whether managers choose internal or external recruiting methods depends on the degree to which organization's strategy encourages promotions and transfers from within the organization. Recruiting from within can lead to job satisfaction and motivation if employees see new career opportunities available. In addition filling positions with existing employees ensures to large ext6ent that these employees are socialized as to the organization's culture and personality. However problems can arise if the internal promotion system is not viewed as fair. The best way to avoid negative backlash when hiring or promoting from within is to install fair practices and procedures. If steps are taken to ensure a fair internal promotional process, most people will accept their loss and remain productive and useful organizational citizen. External recruiting method helps bring new ideas and approaches to the organization. Internal recruiting methods Job posting Many positions can be filled as a result of posting the job opening on the bulletin boards, announcing the opening in a company newsletter or posting announcement on the companys intranet. A job posting procedure enables employees to strive for a better position within the company. Notices of important openings should include allimportant information about the job.

Some firms have turned to computers to make their job posting more fruitful. All employees who wish to participate to complete questionnaires about themselves, which include items concerning relocation willingness and preferences as well as training and educational backgrounds. A few skills are selected out of the total that best represent their functional skills. When a position needs to be filled the requirements are matched and candidates selected. Although positing jobs can be an efficient method of recruiting, number of problems has been associated. Example it can lead to personal bias and stiff competition.

Skills inventory Another recruiting method is the use of skill inventories. Essentially a skills inventory includes a list of employee names, their education, training, present position, work experience, relevant job skills and abilities and other qualifications. The organization can search through the company skill inventory to identify potential candidates for the position opening.

Job bidding These procedures typically specify that all jobs covered by the agreement must be fitted by qualified applicants from within the bargaining unit. Those interested in the vacancy bid for the job by applying if they are qualified. The individual fills the position with the highest seniority from among the qualified applicants. In some cases applicants take competitive examinations. However only current employees are eligible. Using a job bidding system is normally very easy. However it can present some difficulties. Referrals An excellent source of information is current employees who may know someone who would be qualified and interested in the open position. To entice employees to make job referrals, some companies offer a referral bonus. People tend to associate with people like themselves, if the employee fits the organization, chances are his or her referrals will be good. Employees, whose referrals are hired, are often willing to serve as a mentor to ensure their referrals succeed in the company. EXTERNAL RECRUITING METHOD School and college recruiting Recruiting at high school or vocational schools is often a strategic approach adopted by organizations with position openings at the entry level or internal training programs. Recruiting at the college level serves as a major source for acquiring managerial, professional and technical skills. The gap that exists between the skills that organization will need over the next several years and those currently possessed by potential employees is growing. The number of

jobs requiring a college degree is on the increase. Unfortunately for the organization it is a very time consuming and expensive exercise. But pressures from the external environment will continue to force organizations to be highly visible and active in this kind of recruiting. In college recruiting the organization sends an employee usually called a recruiter, to campus interview candidates and describes the organization to them. Coinciding with the visit, brochures and other literature about the organization are often distributed. The organization also runs ads to attract the candidates. In the typical procedure, those seeking employment register at the college placement service. This placement service is a labor market exchange providing opportunities for students and employers to meet and discuss potential hiring. Preliminary interview with employers is done. Students are given detailed influence about the job and the profile. Salaries are negotiated. The expenses are borne by the organization. Many of the changes are designed to reduce overall recruiting costs while maintaining a strong applicant's flow into the organization. The trend seems to be for an organization to develop a stronger, ongoing relationship with a relatively select number of schools. Advertising Advertising job openings in newspapers, magazines, newsletters and other media sources is a relatively inexpensive recruiting mechanism. Advertising is useful for filling open position quickly. Advertising usually does not target a specific audience. Specified defined advertisements will attract qualified applicants, dissuade unqualified ones from applying and make the recruitment process more efficient. Private employment agencies Private employment agencies vary considerably in size and effectiveness as good sources of employee and must be chosen carefully by employers and job seeking alike. A preliminary interview is conducted for the applicants. Unfortunately some agencies are more concerned with placing employees quickly than in effecting a good match between the employee and the organization. The discrepancy can be reduced if the HR managers give detailed and specific requirements. The lnternet and the WWW

One of the fastest growing recruitment methods is the internet and the WWW. Companies who do use the internet as a recruiting source appear to be happy with the process and the results. It allows access to broader set of people and hence broader set of expertise and skills. It is also faster and convenient. However it may not be accessible to all.

1.7 ALTERNATIVES TO RECRUITMENT

Another strategic business decision can be made is not to recruit. Instead they can rely on alternative staffing options. Common alternative staffing options Traditional temporary help A potential employee is recruited, tested, screened and employed by a temporary staffing agency. They assign qualified individuals to work at a clients site, generally to support or supplement the current work force. Long term temporary assignments It is becoming increasing popular for an organization to staff part of its work force with temporary workers on an ongoing basis. These individuals are not considered short-term replacements, but more a part of the regular work force. Part time employees Workers who work less than 40 hours a week are considered part time employees. They can be organization's pay roll or assigned via a temporary agency. Employee leasing A Company will transfer some of its employees to a leasing firm. The leasing firm then leases back the workers to perform the same job they did for the Client Company. However the leasing firm is now responsible for cost and work associated with the typical HR functions such as Payroll, benefits and record keeping. Independent contractors

Independent contractors are self-employed individuals who market a specific skill they posses to a variety of companies. A Company will hire them for a specific project or contract. Payment is usually based on the time and effort the individuals put forth on the project and expenses are frequently reimbursed.

S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS

Business firms undertake SWOT analysis to understand the external and internal environment. SWOT, which is the acronym for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats, is also known as WOT-UP Analysis. Through such an analysis strength and weakness existing within an organization can be matched with the opportunities and threats operating the environment so that an effective strategy can be formulated. An effective organization strategy, therefore, is one that is capitalized on the opportunities and through the use of strengths and neutralizes the threats maximizing the impact of weakness.

Strengths:

Threats:
Other Banks offering lower AQB People looking for change (?) The competition in market is very high due to the private players. The rates of interest of other players are quite low. Innovative schemes from other players.

CHAPTER 4 Summary & Conclusions

FINDINGS
Bank follow manpower planning in a very systematic way but being systematic they have to follow various steps & it is found to be very time consuming. Bank has been successful in removing the surplus manpower. Job specification and job description are well defined to all employees and they know what is expected of them. Everything is properly documented and gives in black and white. There is no fix percentage of employees that are to be recruited for each source every year. Representation of candidates belonging to minority class communities is included in the selection committee, taking care of interest of minorities.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Standard Chartered Bank should continue using redeployment, retrenchment and instruments like VRS in order to reduce effectively its staff in areas of surplus. Recruitment activities in Standard Chartered Bank could be combined with other such PSUs for the purpose of cutting on advertisement costs and cost involved in holding of interviews plus outside help could taken for organizing interviews. Summer trainees should be allowed to avail various welfare facilities like travel free in company buses, subsidized food etc. so as to attract them to apply for job in Standard Chartered Bank. The internal candidates though given relaxation during the selection procedure are not given preference over external candidates since Standard Chartered Bank adopts 50:50 formula. I think it should get away with this formula and encourage the present employees to opt for higher levels within Standard Chartered Bank.

LIMITATIONS

Fewer locations as compared with HDFC and ICICI Bank: Standard Chartered Bank has very few branches as compared to others. Customers feel difficulty to get to the bank. In emergency they have to go far from their home.

Service delivery / Logistics perception is weak: Its service is very slow, customers doesnt get quick response from employees there. They doesnt understand customers problem well.

Negative Environment: In Standard Chartered Bank employees doesnt cooperate with each other, they feel jealous among themselves and with this they lack customers perception.

High interest rate as compared to others housing finance institution: Standard Chartered Bank has greater interest rate as compared to others and because of this customers doesnt invest their money in its policy.

Top management takes large amount of time to approve high value loan borrowers: Its top management always take more time while approving high value loans and by this customers move to other financial institution for high value loan.
