 Executive Summary

For the fulfillment of my MBA degree I have to prepare a report and I choose the topic on –
Human Resource Management Practice at BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology
(BUFT).This is the main reason for preparing this report.

Human Resource is the most important asset for any organization and it is the source of
achieving competitive advantage. Managing human resources is very challenging as compared to
managing technology or capital. For its effective management, organization requires effective
HRM system. At the educational institution like university effective HRM system is very much
important towards its success.

Basically this report focuses on the HRM practice of BGMEA University of Fashion and
Technology (BUFT), a prime University of Bangladesh aimed to produce technically competent
human resources for the RMG sector of the country.

In this report it has been try to show that how BUFT performs the recruitment & selection
process, what types of direct & indirect benefits and rewards they offer to their staff to retain
them, how they have perform their performance appraisal of the teaching staff and admin staff
and overall HR functions.

During my internship period while I am preparing this report I have faced some problems like-
too much work pressure, multiple tasks etc. but though I have learned so many things that is
described in the lessons learning chapter.

The findings of this report shows that BUFT doesn’t have any specific HR department and there
is no any Human Resource specialist or any employee who have educational background on
Human Resource Management. All the HR activities have been done through a committee. It is
also found that their job evaluation system is not good enough.

For providing better education service BUFT should manage their Human Resource effectively.
Some recommendation has been added at the end of this report. I hope these will be helpful for
them.

Introduction
1.1. Introduction of the report:

Global opportunities and competitive pressure have made the importance on skillful management
of human resources than ever. Now, in any government-non government, profitable-non
profitable organizations, human resource is the most valuable asset for the company and has
been given more importance than previous on managing this resource. An organization’s success
largely depends on human resources management because it ensures that an organization has
sufficient number of qualified, skilled man power who can accomplish it’s goals. Higher
educational institutions like universities are not being excluded from this.

In higher educational institutions effective HRM practice is mandatory for their success.
Whether it’s a large or small university employees must be selected, trained and manage
effectively so that they can be a good resource for the organization. Many universities are now
seeking to higher such a person, who is a business graduate majoring from HRM for effective
management of their human resource. Many human resource departments in many organizations
are now extended their activities from traditional roles as processors and custodian of personnel
information to more sophisticated and more expanded strategic roles. This activities increase the
demand for human resource management and department.

This report seeks to examine the human resource management practice at BGMEA University of
fashion & Technology (BUFT).Specially their compensation package, recruitment process, job
evaluation system etc.

1.2. Rationale for Selecting the Report:

Skilled Man power is the most valuable resources in any organization to accomplish its goals,
specially in the educational institution where higher education has been offered. There are about
88 universities in Bangladesh. Al most all of them are offering higher education for the students
of our country. Without the top ranked public and private universities, most of the universities
are unable to manage their human resource effectively. As I am working in the admin section in
a university and as a student of Human Resource Management, I have decided to do a report on
Human Resource Management Practice at BGMEA University of Fashion and Technology
(BUFT) for the fulfillment of my MBA degree.
1.3. Objectives of the report

 Broad Objective:
The main objective of this report is to know about the HR practices at the ‘BGMEA
University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT).

 Specific Objective:
Specific objectives of this report are to know the BUFT’s
 Recruitment policy
 Compensation & Benefit management system
 Performance evaluation system

1.4.Organizational Description

BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) was set up in March 2012 under the
Private University Act of 2010 and is dedicated to the development of human resources for the
readymade garment, textile and allied sectors of Bangladesh. The aim is to develop this
university as a centre of excellence for the study, research and development to serve the nation. It
was functioning from 1999 named as BGMEA Institute of Fashion & Technology (BIFT), a
pioneer and leading training institute specialized in the apparel sector of Bangladesh with a noble
mission to produce skilled manpower for the local 100% export oriented readymade garments
(RMG) sector. BIFT started its formal operation in 2000 and was affiliated with the National
University of Bangladesh in 2001. It has to carry on with its current students until they graduate.
BGMEA University of Fashion & Technology (BUFT) is going to start its academic programs
from September 2012 with the first batch of students in its nine programs.

With the advent of the readymade garment industry in Bangladesh, the apex body of RMG
industries, Bangladesh Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) visualized
the need for a world class education institution that will deliver quality training and educational
services to produce graduates and qualified practitioners. Skilled personnel who after completing
their education from BUFT will join the export oriented garment industry in Bangladesh and
thereby, help filling up the vacuum of skilled manpower for the growing RMG industry, the
major foreign currency earner in the country’s export basket.
Another feature of Bangladesh garment and textile sector is the constraint of supply of required
qualified mid level managers. As a result, this sector has to recruit and hire thousands of
expatriate with very high salary which cost the country dearly in foreign currency. This situation
is generated from the lack of proper educational facilities and non availability of suitable courses
in the existing educational system of Bangladesh. To overcome this problem BGMEA took a
visionary step by establishing BGMEA Institute of Fashion & Technology in 1999 and finally
the decision to convert this institute into a university. This is another historical landmark which
enables the garment and apparel sector to compete with the global competitors and increase its
market share. Essentially, skill development and enhancement of quality of manpower working
in the RMG sector through training and other related measures has become crucial at this point
of time.

Constrains/ Challenges and Proposed
Course of Action for Improvement
3.0. Constrains/ Challenges and Proposed Course of Action for Improvement:

While preparing my report on the particular topic I have faced some dilemma which devaluated
the weight of my report to some extent. I have faced the following situation which, I consider as
the limitation of my report.

 Too much work pressure did not make sense to study widen.

 Multiple tasks of different department have to be performed.

 Lack of job freedom.

 Miss use of reference power.

 Management doesn’t want to disclose the information to the employee, because of their
confidentiality.

 Lack of coordination of the colleagues.

 Disorganized work system

Lessons Learned
4.1. Lessons Learned from the Internship Program:

From my experience with the admin section of BUFT I have learned so many valuable
knowledge which helped me a lot to understand the HR activities and as well as to prepare this
report. Through this internship affiliation report I got a chance to have a very closely observe
about all the HR activities of BUFT. Followings are my understanding from this internship
program:

 First of all, I have learned about the organizational behavior, i.e. how individuals and groups
act in the organization, what is the people-organization relationships in terms of the whole
person, whole group, whole organization etc.

 Secondly, I have learned about the compensation management practice. Here I have learned
about different form of direct-indirect, financial-non financial benefits and rewards that has
been provided to the employee in exchange for their work. The most important lessons from
this part is that before making compensation policy for the employees, the policy maker must
be keep in mind about the Management Philosophy.

 Thirdly, use of reference power in the compensation factor affects the equal employment
opportunity. It means, sometimes employees are directly appointed through reference and
because of their strong reference they got some extra benefit which other employee at the
same rank doesn’t get.

 Fourthly, I have learned mostly about the leave management system. Here I have learned
about the category of leave, leave entitlement, how to process a leave application, how to
calculate earned leave etc.

 Fifthly, I have gathered experience about recruiting and selection process from CV short
listing to appoint an employee in the organization.

 Finally, through writing different type of letters and notices my writing skill has been
developed.
 Chapter-5
Findings & Recommendations
5.1. Findings:

1. BUFT doesn’t have any separate Human Resource Division. To perform HR activities
they have made a committee with the personnel of different department. As a result
activities of other department have been affected by this.

2. There is no any Human Resource specialist or any employee who have educational
background on Human Resource Management.

3. They don’t have any Human Resource software. All the activities have been done
manually.
4. The current approach to hiring staff into various positions is not good enough. Both the
Internal and external recruitment system is weak. There is no any exam and presentation
part in their recruitment process.

5. Compensation package of BUFT is not attractive to hold a qualified employee. Under the
direct compensation system BUFT offers almost all type of compensation for the
employee but under the indirect compensation system they should offer something new.

6. The objective of compensation system of BUFT is to achieve the organizational goal not
to motivate the employee.

7. Job evaluation system of BUFT is not satisfactory. They evaluate the performance of the
employee based on the observation. There is no scoring system for the admin staff.
8. BUFT keep hide their job evaluation system to the employee except the employee
involve in the process.

9. Employees can not show their talent when they will not get job flexibility.

10. Too much misuse of reference power affects the equal employment opportunity.
5.2. Recommendations:

From my work experience with BUFT I think I can make some recommendation for the
university. These recommendations are completely from my personal point of view and I think
they have possibilities to improve in the recommended areas. My recommendations to BUFT
are:

1. As soon as it is possible BUFT should make the Human Resource Department totally
separate from other department with professional human resources management
administration.

2. BUFT spends considerable productive time on recruitment, promotions and other staff
matters. To save productive resources, Human Resources should consider installing the
automated and web based technology for recruitment to replace the manual processing
for recruitment and hiring and free staff time and space for more productive HR
activities.

3. Due diligence should be given to manpower planning and the luxury of filling positions
without recourse to efficiency and standards should be reconsidered.

4. BUFT should arrange some annual event for their employees, to entertain them, motivate
them, give them relief from their monotonous work and also make them feel that the
company also care about each and every employee

5. In the Indirect compensation system they can add Housing, food, Loans Children’s,
education expenses, discount on purchase, credit card etc.
6. The university should revise their job evaluation system for the admin staff. They should
