REVIEW

OF

EXISTING
 LITERATURE
To research any problem, it is necessary to review the existing literature. Various studies

relating to different aspects of recruitment have been conducted in the past. A brief

review of some of the major studies in recent years is given below.

R.S. Diwivedi (1998)1 concluded that Motivation is a major determinants of

productivity. Motivation refers to inter striving conditions called wishes, desires, drives,

etc. There is three kinds of motives: psychological, socio-psychological and general.

There exists diverse view relating to motivation. Theories of motivation are classified as

‘contents’ and ‘process’ oriented. The content theory tell what motivates people but

indicates people very little about how motivation is expressed. The process theories

interpret the underlying process of motivation and indicates how to motivate people.

Moorhead Griffin (2002)2 explains the equity theory of motivation assumes that

people want to be treated fairly. It hypothesizes that people compare their own input-to-

outcome ratio in the organization to the ratio of a comparison other. If they feel their

treatment has been inequitable, they take steps to reduce the inequity. Expectancy theory

is based on the assumption that people are motivated to work toward a goal if they want it

and think they have a reasonable chance of achieving it.

 Archna Tyagi (2002)3 sys that motivation is the extent to which persistent effort

is directed toward a goal. Intrinsic motivation stems from the direct relation ship between

the worker and the task and is usually self-applied. Extrinsic motivation stems from the

environment surrounding the task and is applied by others.

Fred Luthans (1997)4 explains Motivation is probably more closely associated

with micro prospective of organization behavior than in any other topic. A

comprehensive understanding of motivation includes the need-drive – incentive

sequence, or cycle. The basic process involves needs, which set drives in motion to

accomplish incentives. The drives or motives may be classified into primary, general, and

secondary categories. The primary motives are unlearned and psychologically based. The

general motives are also learned but are not psychologically based. Secondary motives

are learned and are most relevant to the study of organization behavior.

Jerald Greenberg Robert A. Baron (2002)5 Defines motivation is concerned

with the set of processes that arouse, direct and maintain behavior toward a goal. It is not

equitant to job performance, but it is not of several determinants in job performance.

Today’s work ethic motivates people to seek interesting and challenging jobs instead of

simply money.
 Stephen P. Robbins (2001)6 explains Motivation is a general inspirational

process which gets the members of the team to pull their weight effectively, to give their

loyalty to the group, to carryout properly the tasks that they accepted and generally to

play an effective part in the job tat group has undertaken. Motivation means a process of

stimulating people to action to accomplish desired goals.

Paul Mersey (1997)7 defines motivation as the driving force within the individual

that peoples him or her towards a behavior or action. Motivation is a psychological

concept that generates with in an individual. It is an inner feeling which energies a person

to work more. Management tries to utilize all the sources of production in a best possible

manner. This can be achieved only when employees cooperate in this task. Efforts should

be made to motivate employees for contributing their maximum.

INTRODUCTION

TO

THE
PROJECT
 CONCEPTUALIZATION
Compensation becomes the weak link during uncertainty or downturns. Salary levels
have been taken to unrealistic level. Today the ratio of 1.5:1.0 can be seen between salary
levels for similar positions between IT and non-IT sectors. This has resulted in low
withstanding capacity of companies. And hence downsizing, which surfaced engineering
industry after a couple of decades, is widespread in the IT industry in less than a decade.

It is time to re-look at this factor. Fixed and variable pay should be clearly defined.
Emphasis should be laid on other benefits and social security and welfare schemes for
employee retention rather than only increasing cash component. Companies need to work
towards employability as a retention tool rather than salary.

Benefits could be categorized into salary (fixed and variable), asset building, long term
security, medical needs, social / family needs, education / learning of employee and
family, long term association and specific superior performance awards.

Wage bill should be considered as an important element to be monitored in terms of

percentage of revenue and profits, which is for revenue generating employees and
revenue spending employees.

Thus compensation package and welfare schemes are one of the significant tools in
employee retention and motivation.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

Primary Objective:

To know the benefits and welfare schemes included in the compensation policy
at INDO ASIAN Securities Ltd. and to measure the satisfaction level of the
employees getting these benefits.

Secondary Objectives:

As the project basically deals with human resource so the objective of the study
is to know different dimensions of HRD. These are as follows:

o Understanding the task and responsibilities of the employees in

the HR department.
o Understanding the role played by the benefits and incentives in
retaining the employees.
o To know the functions of HRD.
o How to ask for long term commitments from the employees by
giving them exclusive benefits.
 INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS COMPENSATION?

COMPENSATION:

Compensation is the process of providing adequate, equitable and fair

remuneration to the employees. It includes job evaluation, wage and salary
administration, incentives, bonus, fringe benefits, social security measures etc.

JOB EVALUATION:

It is the process of determining relative worth of jobs.

• Select suitable job evaluation techniques

• Classify jobs into various categories
• Determining relative value of jobs in various categories

WAGES AND SALARY ADMINISTRATION:

This is a process of developing and operating a suitable wage and salary

programs. It covers:

• Conducting wage and salary survey

• Determining wage and salary rates based on various factors
• Administering wage and salary programs
• Evaluating its effectiveness

INCENTIVES:

It is the process of formulating, administering and reviewing the schemes of

financial incentives in addition to regular payment of wages and salary. It
includes;

• Formulating incentive payment schemes

 • Helping functional managers on the operation.
• Review them periodically to evaluate effectiveness.

BONUS:

It includes payment of statutory bonus according to the “Payment of Bonus

Act”, 1965, and its latest amendments.

In India the employees drawing above certain compensation are not covered
under the Bonus Act. However, the employer pays them suitable lump sum
variable amount depending upon their level in the organization which is called
“Exgratia”. This is not compulsory on the part of the employer but acts as an
incentive to the employee.

FRINGE BENEFITS:

These are the various benefits at the fringe of the wage. Management provides
these benefits to motivate the employees and to meet their life’s contingencies.
These benefits include:

• Disablement benefit
• Housing facilities
• Educational facilities to employees and their children
• Canteen facilities
• Recreational facilities
• Conveyance facilities
• Credit facilities
• Legal clinic
• Medical, maternity and welfare facilities
• Company stores

SOCIAL SECURITY MEASURES:

Management provides social security to their employees in addition to the

fringe benefits. These measures includes:

• Workmen’s compensation to those workers (or their dependents) whole

involve in accidents
 • Maternity benefits to women employees
• Sickness benefits and medical benefits
• Disablement benefits/allowance
• Dependent benefits
• Retirement benefits like provident fund, pension, gratuity etc.

BENEFITS

“Benefits are part of the compensation”

When thinking about a job, considering the salary and the benefits offered by
an employer is important. Many benefits play a critical role in the lives of
employees and their families by assisting in health needs, future financial
security, needed absence from work, and more. Benefits may include programs
like paid time off, medical insurance, dental insurance, disability, life
insurance, retirement benefits, family leave, education and training programs,
bonuses, commission and stock options.

How employee benefit programs vary:

• Employee benefits are based on full time vs. part time employment. Part
time employees are rarely offered benefits. This trend is changing,
however as more part time employees have access to better benefit
packages through their employees. There may be some differences in
benefits due to the type of job held such as with clerical, administrative
or production worker.
• The number of employees in a firm plays an important role as to which
benefit programs are offered. Small size companies generally offer fewer
official benefit programs. Large size companies usually offer a wide
range of benefits.
• There may be some variation in benefits offered depending upon the
industry an individual is researching.

Below is the list of different types of benefits employers may offer their
employees:
Paid time off:-

Employees earn paid time off while they work. Paid time off includes vacation
leave, holidays, sick leave, and in some cases, time off for military leave,
funerals and jury duty.

Health insurance:-

It covers the care that doctors and nurses provide. This may or may not include
dental and optical coverage.

Disability insurance:

When a person is unable to perform their job because of illness or inquiry,

short-term and long-term disability insurance can provide financial support.

Life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance:

Life, accidental death and dismemberment insurance can provide financial

support to yourself and/or your family in cases when unexpected occurs.

Retirement benefits:

Retirement benefits are resources set aside for years later in life, when people
will spend less time in the workforce or have ended their career.

Family benefits:

Law requires firms to provide unpaid time off to their employees for family-
related reasons. This includes maternity leave, paternity leave, and
dependent/elder care.

Education and training:

Some firms offer education and training opportunities for their employees.

Bonuses:

Some employers offer bonuses to employees in order to fill vacant positions in

their business. Some employers give bonus to an employee who recommends
an applicant that they hire. Other bonuses are given by employers to entice an
individual to accept employment or to retain an employee already working at a
business.
Unique benefits:

Unique benefits can vary depending upon the nature of the work. Examples of
unique benefits are cars, cell phones, laptops, cafeteria plans, product or service
discounts, telecommuting options, job sharing, credit unions, uniforms, child
care, nap rooms and nursing facilities.

“The key is: Listen closely. Get in the candidate’s skin. Why a
person left a job or jobs tells you more about them than almost
any other piece of data.” – Jack Welch

causes hindrance in the smooth sailing of the functions of the organization.

development.
• Lock of discipline regarding punctuality at the workplace.

OPPORTUNITIES

• Growth of insurance market brings ample opportunities for INDO ASIAN’

financial services to grow as an individual business.
 • Due to the globalization the new markets have emerged and there is an
opportunity for the company to tap these markets.
• To hire trainers from outside the company who train the employees without
charging anything. This will help the organization to reduce the total amount
spent on welfare of the employee.
• To venture in diversified business such as from manufacturing agri machinery to
providing financial services will help the company to attain good reputation in the
market.
• The concept of outsourcing provides ample opportunity to the company to explore
new markets and reach inaccessible markets.

THREATS

• Emerging competitors is a great threat for the company in order to maintain its
market share along with its sales.
• Availability of cheaper technologies poses a big threat for the organization.
• Changing political environment of the company poses a great threat on the
financial resources of the company.
• Growth of urbanization has lead to decline in the selling of its major product
which is a serious matter for INDO ASIAN. Therefore to continue its sales it has
to take some extra measures

PESTE ANALYSIS

It is the technique of analysis in which a thing is analysed on the basis of five aspects
namely political, economical, social, technological and educational.

Political Analysis:

It refers to the level of politics and biasness which affect an organizational environment,
specially the human resource department.

In INDO ASIAN Ltd. no biasness was seen as the system is completely transparent. Also
there was a change in salary structure due to new minimum salary standards set by the
government.

Economical Analysis:

In INDO ASIAN Ltd. 8% – 9% of the total turnover is given to the HR department out of
which 2.3% in spent on benefit and welfare schemes. Similarly each department is
provided with a share to carry out its function smoothly.
It has adopted many cost effective strategies in order to reduce the overall running cost of
the company.

Social Analysis

It aims at improving the standards of living of the employees by providing them extra
benefits apart from the salary. Also society is benefited from its cheap and good quality
products.

It also caters to the medical needs of the society as it has its own hospitals that are INDO
ASIAN Heart Institute and Research Center and INDO ASIAN Hospital and research
center.

Technological Analysis

Modern and updated technology is used in order to compete with other brands available
in the market.

Moreover the facility of internet and intranet is available for the coordination among the
departments for the smooth functioning of business.

Market watch, real time market movements’ software attached to various stock
exchanges.

Educational Analysis

Regular training and development sessions are carried out so as to enhance the
knowledge and skills of the employees and workers respectively. It has resulted in
effective and efficient production. Training is basically carried out in three ways.

Internal Training Programmes:

 QUESTIONNAIRE ANALYSIS

Reasons for joining VISCO Group

Interpretation:
The above data shows that the reason for joining INDO ASIAN was the compensation
package and welfare schemes for majority of the employees. It throws light on the fact
that people give maximum weightage to the benefits given to the employees while
selecting the job for themselves.
Awareness regarding welfare schemes
Interpretation
100% of the employees were aware of the welfare schemes which show that there is a
smooth communication between the different levels of management. It also conveys to us
at every individual is considered important no matter to which level he belongs to as he’s
given complete information about the company.

Importance of the compensation package and welfare schemes

Interpretation:
Most of the employees at managerial level are of the view that benefits play a significant
role in retaining the employees and the workers. One of their primary reasons for joining
INDO ASIAN was the benefits included in Compensation Package and Welfare
Schemes. This is also a major reason for employee turnover.

Analysis of satisfaction level of the employees

Interpretation:
The above data depicts that the satisfaction of the employees results in high level of
efficiency benefiting both the company and the employees. It also highlights the mission
of the business which is to serve both its customers and its employees in an equal
manner.
Where the company stands on the scale of providing benefits

Interpretation:
Majority of the employees place their company in an excellent position regarding the
benefits which shows their dedication and commitment towards the company. Also it
depicts that the top level management is concerned about the benefits not only at strategic
level but also at grass root level
Which areas of compensation do you think the company should pay
more attention to
Interpretation:
The data shows that the employees are quite satisfied regarding the medical insurance
and retirement benefits given to them. The company should lay more emphasis on the
recreational; facilities inside the company itself. This can include games, seperate
recreational room where the employees could relax during the breaks from their hectic
schedule.

Which of these qualities best describe your trainer

Interpretation:
Training and development is provided to the employees for their overall development.
The data depicts that 42% of the trainers have full knowledge of their subjects while only
28% of them are open to suggestions. Therefore while appointing a trainer all the factors
should be kept in mind so as to satisfy the trainees.

There are some limitations also, which I have faced during the preparation of this project
report. Some of the limitations are as under: -

• Data Secrecy by the Company: - From the companies’ point of view there
are some things that they don’t disclose to everybody. As there are some
confidential matters that should not be leaked out.
• Low Communication With Senior People: - As company people have to do
their own work too, along with providing training to people like us. So, there
remains a communication gap with the senior executives as well.
• Lesser Time:- We too have less time to understand all the working of the
company, employees don’t pay much attention because their own work load.
 SUGGESTIONS
Although I do not find myself capable of suggesting something extraordinary to a well
established company yet after undergoing training I have find some suggestions which
can bring some added advantage to the company:

Entry into insurance sector:

As INDO ASIAN has recently entered into financial services, it should also
include insurance services as it is a booming area these days. This will enable it to
earn more profits.

Outsourcing:

The company should outsource its manufacturing in order to enter the new
markets. For example there is no branch of INDO ASIAN in southern part of
India.

Proper Advertising Channels:

More stress should be laid on the advertising of the services being provided by the
company. Print ads and hoardings is a cheaper means of advertising as compared
to other means.

Customize Manufacturing:

Manufacturing should be customized and not standardized so as to suit the needs

of the individual customer. This will enhance the image of the company.

Variety of Rewards:

Instead of mementos, cash prices should be given to the workers in order to boost
their morale.

Various Other Welfare Schemes:

Different welfare schemes should be given at the different levels of management

keeping in mind the motivational requirements of each level.

Other Strategies:
 Companies should start looking at benefits, social security and welfare schemes
for employee retention rather than only increasing the monetary part of
compensation.

Other Benefits:

Various other benefits and welfare schemes that can be added in the company
include:

• Instead of privately owned canteens subsidized canteens should be operated.

• There should be some welfare schemes for the family members of employees.
• Entertainment allowance should be part of the benefits given to the employees.
• Presently the working days in the company is 6 days a week which should be
reduced to five days to distress the employees for better productivity.
• Benefits should be directly proportional to the performance and not to the post.
• The training and development program should not be only limited to the workers
but should also be given to the employees at various level for the individual and
organizational welfare.
• People with different skills should be constituted as a group and instead of
individual benefits group benefit schemes should be introduced to propel the spirit
of team work.
• Along with superior performance awards, the concept of specific performance
awards should be included in order to achieve company specific goals.
• Loosing job is a big fear for an employee as well as for his family. The welfare
package should include the job security element for the desired outcome.
• Training not only should include skill enhancement but also to improve the
overall personality of the trainee.
 CONCLUSION
An organization is a complex system of people each operating with their own beliefs but
for a common purpose. Compensation Policy and welfare schemes have come up to be
considered as a management discipline, especially since the birth of the concept of the
simultaneous development of individual and organization. An increasing number of
people asserted that because businesses were making a profit from primarily using our
country's human resources, these businesses owed to the people of the country.

In organizations managers face difficult and exciting challenges today. A global

economy in which world-class quality is the ticket to success, increased diversity in the
work force, calls for more attention towards satisfying this diversified work force in order
to retain them. As trustees of society’s precious human, material, financial, and
informational resources, managers hold the key to a better world.

When I embarked on the project to study compensation package and welfare schemes, I
gained valuable learning experience to find out how well this is integrated in the
organization. Managing people and their needs in the workplace holds tremendous
benefit for leaders and managers, benefits both moral and practical. This is particularly
true today when it is critical to understand and manage highly diverse needs and wants in
the competitive environment.
