COMPANY PROFILE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY Tech Mahindra was incorporated in 1986, as the result of a joint venture between Mahindra & Mahindra and BT Plc, under the name of "Mahindra-British Telecom" and later (in 2006) rechristened to its current name. This was done in order to reflect the diversification and growth of the firm's client base and the increased breadth of service offerings to become a global systems integrator and business transformationconsulting firm. Since its inception Tech Mahindra has maintained a strong focus on the communication industry, while continuing to extend its service and support offerings, as well as geographic presence. This has helped the service provider evolve from an exclusive BT partner to an independent systems integrator. However, approximately 60% of Tech Mahindra's global revenue continues to be attributed to its engagement with BT. Currently the service provider has 25,000 professionals servicing 110 clients globally through 11 delivery centers. The service provider garnered US$984.9 million in revenue (2007 and 2008); for details, see Table 1. Focusing on quality, Tech Mahindra is ISO 9001:2000 certified and is assessed at SEI-CMMI Level 5. Tech Mahindra is also certified under ISO 20000-1 (IT service management standard) and ISO 27001 (security management standard). Its development centers are across India and the United Kingdom. In addition, the service provider is People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM) Level 5 certified for its people-care practices has been appraised for Systems Security Engineering Capability Maturity Model (SSE-CMM) Level 3.

In the APEJ region, Tech Mahindra is present in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Across the region, Tech Mahindra has been working with Telco operators and has gained success with tier 1 regional operators in Indonesia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Australia. In addition, Tech Mahindra is also working with equipment providers like Alcatel and Cisco in the region. In 2009, the service Tech Mahindra has initiated focuses on the North Asia market and it is looking to setup a software delivery center in China.

Company Strategy:Tech Mahindra has a focused strategy to become a transformation and consulting organization to telecom service providers and equipment manufacturers, with a vision "to be the global leader in outsourcing services in the telecom industry." The service provider has grown from strength to strength and has continued to build a strong brand image for itself. In the APEJ region, it is Tech Mahindra's goal to be the number 1 partner to telecom service providers and have clientele consisting of the top 3 leading operators in every APEJ country over the next two to three years. Already, the service provider has key engagements in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia, which lend the service provider a strong reference base. Approximately 77% of Tech Mahindra's revenue in APEJ comes from its IT services practice, mainly, business support systems (BSS) and operational support systems (OSS). Going forward, Tech Mahindra is looking to strengthen its revenue share from its managed service practice and where it can leverage its IT outsourcing (ITO) and business process outsourcing (BPO) capabilities. Given the regional diversity of the APEJ region, Tech Mahindra is looking to ramp up its local presence and further strengthen its in-country delivery capabilities. This is a positive move for the service provider, as it is comparatively difficult to leverage labor cost arbitrage in the APEJ region. Tech Mahindra has done well to extend it service portfolio to encompass the entire telecom value-chain; this includes equipment (engineering), systems integration, consultancy services, and joint go-to-market programs. It continues to be the service provider's focus to build depth and scale across service elements while taking a solution-driven approach towards undertaking client engagements. From a growth perspective, Tech Mahindra has done well to undertake initiatives both organic (e.g., by growing head count and looking to setup center in China) and inorganic (e.g., by acquiring a stake in Axe sand policy). It is expected that the service provider will look for inorganic growth opportunities in
Page 10

the APEJ region for extending delivery capabilities and acquiring customers as well.

Service Strategy:Tech Mahindra's service strategy is to build end-to-end capabilities across telecom hardware, software, and services. In order to achieve this, the service provider has partnered with a wide host of OEMs and ISVs to adopt best-of breed platforms into its delivery and support services.

Page 12

The operational framework designed by Tech Mahindra can be leveraged towards the end user (subscriber), as well as internal (telecom) operations and reporting. From a client-management perspective, Tech Mahindra helps telecom service providers monitor and manage end-client metrics, such as escalation issues and resolution, commercials, contractual workflow, and service reporting. From a service delivery perspective, the service provider works with telecom players to build an internal service desk to monitor daily reports, change management, service provisioning, problem management, and service-level-agreement (SLA) governance. Tech Mahindra's managed services offerings cover a wide array of IT outsourcing services, including networks, IT infrastructure, applications, and business processes. Key offerings from Tech Mahindra in the APEJ region include: Application management: - Tech Mahindra's application management services are divided into two layers: application operations and application maintenance and support (AMS). Under AMS, Tech Mahindra leverages best practices under IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework for problem, change, SLA, and vendor management and layers this with an integrated helpdesk. As part of its application operations services, the service provider looks into five key areas technology: BSS, OSS, enterprise applications, value-added services (VAS) and next-generation networks (NGN). Under its BSS application management services Tech Mahindra has strong capabilities for billing mediation and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. This enables the service provider to help telecom service providers to have an integrated view of customer and tariff metrics and, therefore, the ability to better manage customer expectations and satisfaction levels. For its OSS offerings, Tech Mahindra focuses on the three key elements: service fulfillment (i.e., configuration, activation, provisioning), service assurance (i.e., trouble-ticket and customer impact analysis), and operational support (i.e., workflow and inventory management). Here, it is favorable for Tech Mahindra to have both elements of OSS and BSS applications together under its management because then Tech Mahindra can better showcase the benefits of its end-to-end delivery capabilities. Bureau services. Tech Mahindra's bureau services offer telecom service providers a single point of contact for infrastructure management and customer management processes. Given Tech
Page 13

Mahindra's long-term support of BT operations in the United Kingdom, the service provider has a sound level of expertise and capabilities to extend the same to customers in the APEJ region. Already, Tech Mahindra has experienced success with this model in the Indonesia market for a Greenfield service rollout and was able to benefit the client with lower cost of operations and faster acquisition time for new subscribers. Key elements of Tech Mahindra's bureau services include: o Network and datacenter: IT infrastructure, configuration, and operations management o Subscriber management: Invoicing, collection, settlement, and reconciliation o Operational support: Helpdesk support, MIS, and reporting Datacenter operations. The datacenter operations managed services form a key part of Tech Mahindra's offerings. The key benefit that Tech Mahindra looks to drive for its clients, over and above reduced operational costs, is to help drive efficiency levels and sustain datacenter resilience. o Alarm monitoring: Proactive monitoring of server hardware, OS, and databases through customer-provided/COTS tools o System administration: Day-to-day tasks such as user management, access management, backup and restoration, patch management o Backup and recovery: Scheduling and monitoring backups o Performance management: Optimization and enhancing system performance o Database administration: Create, upgrade, migrate, and manage relational database management system (RDBMS) table spaces, and modify database structures Network operations. Managed network operations is a key growth area for Tech Mahindra as the service provider looks to gain further traction in the remote infrastructure management space. The service provider has competitive capabilities for network tools and platforms and has worked extensively on element management. Going forward, Tech Mahindra should aggressively take this solution to market; especially for any non-telecom clients it may consider targeting. o Alarm management: Remote alarm management, with the help of COTS network management tools, connected to the networks with the help of communication links. Detection, localization, escalation, and resolution in case of faults
Page 14

o Configuration management: Configuration changes, route changes, duplicate IP addresses, duplicate probes for FR, ATM, IP, MPLS, and legacy networks. o Element management: Management of network elements, with the help of the EMS and NMS. Management of specific devices, such as routers, switches o Application management: Network-related applications, IOS, software patches, version management, version upgrades, IP telephony soft switch management, and gateway management o Network optimization: Optimization of existing, networks, routing design, and policy formulation

Business and Operational Support Systems

Tech Mahindra has been in the B/OSS arena for over two decades now and boasts of one of the largest B/OSS practices available in the region with an exhaustive list of technical skills and capabilities. Over the years, Tech Mahindra has been able to build out its project repository, develop pre-integrated solutions and formalize standard operating procedures, which enable the service provider to deliver faster project implementation times. In addition, the service provider has invested in developing solution methodologies and built in-house labs and tools that have helped Tech Mahindra occupy a niche position in the market. Tech Mahindra works with its clients across the OSS stack, facilitating COTS integration across multi-service multi-vendors networks, thereby reducing vendor dependence for its clients. In the OSS space services offered by Tech Mahindra include: service provisioning and activation, inventory management, workflow and order management, fault and performance management, as well as quality of service and SLA management. The underlying objectives behind these offerings is to enable its customer offer better customer experience, faster launch of new services, while supporting initiatives towards network transformation and migration to NGN technologies. Here, Tech Mahindra has the capabilities to undertake a consultative role for customers, as well as systems integration and end-to-end managed services. For BSS services, Tech Mahindra's has experienced success with 20 new clients added in 2008, nine Greenfield wireless implementations, and three end-to-end business transformation projects undertaken globally. Of
Page 15

these projects, Tech Mahindra was able to implement an end-to-end green-field B/OSS project in under six months for its client in Southeast Asia. Currently, the service provider supports and manages operations totaling 40 million subscribers, with over 210 million usage records per day and 99% SLAs being met for large operations. The service provider has done well to build in-house business process frameworks through which it can offer pre-integrated solutions. As part of its BSS offering, Tech Mahindra also has a shared services platform through which it can offer Bureau Services, white-label billing, and prepaid/ postpaid convergent B/OSS platform. The following are key capabilities for Tech Mahindra across billing and CRM:

Billing o Rating and billing: usage rating, content charging, interconnect billing, bill presentment, financial interfaces, collections, and payables o Mediation and revenue assurance: network and active mediation, revenue audits, problem diagnosis and resolution, and fraud management o Product management and settlement: content charging, wholesale and roaming settlements, products and services definition, and product catalogue management CRM o Services: Fault management (registering and routing), schedule and task management, SLA management, and escalation and notification o Sales and marketing support: campaign management, sales force automation scripting, sales compensation management, sales forecasting and reporting, and contact center integration o Order management and provisioning: Pre-order enquiry handling, order creation and fulfillment, and workflow creation, as well as management

From a skills and capabilities standpoint, Tech Mahindra is an active participant at industry forums, such as TeleManagement and OSS/J forums. Tech Mahindra's global B/OSS alliances include:

Rating, billing and CRM: Oracle, Comverse, Rate Integration, LHS, SAP, Metratech, and Convergys
Page 16

Provisioning/Assurance: Oracle, MetaSolv, Clarity, Amdocs, Cramer, IBM, and Axiom Mediation and fault management: Intec, Comptel, Ericsson, Openet, SubexAzure, and BroadHoper

Key Differentiators

The key differentiator in favor of Tech Mahindra is its uniqueness in focus on the telecom vertical. This has helped the service provider emerge as the largest telecom-focused system integrator and managed services provider in India. Tech Mahindra's service portfolio is extensive and its skills and capabilities are rather strong, as the service provider has worked over the years with single-minded focus to excel in the telecom vertical. Starting from a single client company BT was the key stakeholder in the company in 1986, the service provider has done well to extend its business geographically and by service line to reach its current market position. Currently, Tech Mahindra is in a strong position to offer end-to-end solutions and services in an advisory and operational role to enable telecom service providers achieve their goals and objectives in these challenging times. While outsourcing remains as a key element of Tech Mahindra's offering, the service provider has equivalent capabilities of delivering services from an onsite or nearshore delivery model.

It is Tech Mahindra's goal to be the most preferred (in thought leadership and project execution) telecom solution provider in the region. It is Tech Mahindra's ambition to be a "transformation partner" to top 3 operators in every APEJ country over a two-to-threeyear time frame. Tech Mahindra chooses to directly engage with telecoms operators and network equipment providers to grow its footprint in the APEJ region. For most of its business (approximately 90%), Tech Mahindra has engaged directly, while its key partners have been beneficial, especially in the Southeast Asia region. From a segment perspective, Tech Mahindra is focusing on tier 1 and 2 wire line, wireless, and WiMAX operators, and looking to extend its relationships with ISPs, IPTV players, and software vendors. In addition, the service provider is looking to leverage its BSSbased CRM experience and capabilities to work with telecom service providers on VAS. From a sales perspective, Tech Mahindra has approximately 17 sales personnel in the region who operate through five sales offices across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand. While the service provider has near-shore delivery capabilities in Indonesia, it is looking to build a software development center in China to further strengthen its presence in the region. Tech Mahindra has over 700 technical consultants available (mainly through India) for in-region operations, which is a sizeable resource base, in order to undertake largescale engagements. Most (approximately 70%) of the number of deals won by Tech Mahindra in APEJ have been on a fixed-price model, while 20% have been based on SLA outcomes and approximately 10% of the deals were based on time and materialsbased pricing. For Tech Mahindra, key country markets in the region include, Australia (accounting for nearly 50% of its APEJ revenue), Indonesia, Singapore, and Indonesia, where the service provider has a significant revenue base. Based on the success Tech Mahindra has had in Indonesia and the positive traction in Singapore and the Philippines market, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region is a strong growth market for the company. In comparison, the company is in start-up mode for building its presence in the North Asia region. Here, Japan and Korea remain two challenging markets for Tech Mahindra to enter. In the APEJ region, in addition to its B/OSS and managed services offerings, the service provider is looking to gain traction for content

delivery solutions and remote infrastructure management/outsourcing services. Future Outlook Opportunities

According to IDC estimates on worldwide network consulting and integration services (NCIS) spend towards B/OSS systems in Asia/Pacific (including Japan) are pegged at US$494 million for 2009. Over the next three years this is expected to grow to US$696 million. While this represents (approximately) 16% of the worldwide market, it is an opportunity that Tech Mahindra can exploit, as there are fewer numbers of competitors as compared with the U.S. and European markets. Tech Mahindra has strong prospects in the APEJ region, with telecom service providers looking to prioritize investments towards services enablement (such as IMS), where the service provider has substantial experience. There is a high level of interest moving towards deployment in the emerging markets across APEJ. Already, Tech Mahindra has experienced success with a Southeast Asia operator undertaking a Greenfield WiMAX deployment. IDC believes managed services provided to telecom service providers will be a key growth segment. Already, there has been adoption of managed services in the APEJ region and the current economic environment will force tier 1 providers in both the wireless and wire line segments to re-evaluate the use of managed services as a means of driving operational efficiencies and increased business agility. Operators are carefully evaluating ways and means of driving competitive advantage. While lowering cost is an ongoing exercise for the telecom service providers, the prevalent economic environment has made it increasingly important over the past six months. However, there is evidence to suggest, some operators are looking to "invest to save money" and evaluating strategies to improve customer satisfaction and, thereby, lower customer churn. This is being done through three key directions: o Build/strengthen service portfolio to retain existing subscribers and look to gain new connections as well. In order to do so, operators are looking to invest in
Page 19

incorporating software features within their B/OSS systems in order to drive customer services. o Reduce operating expenses by trimming costs for datacenter and network operations. Here, there is marked potential for Tech Mahindra's managed services portfolio. IDC expects that operators in the region (especially in emerging markets and startup operators) will look to adopt managed services in a big way. o Reduce customer support costs and build better customer analytics. Here, Tech Mahindra will find a favorable ear for its bureau services and CRM capabilities. For Tech Mahindra, logical extensions in target markets outside of telecom service providers are the ISPs and Direct-To-Home (DTH) service providers. This is essentially because from an operational perspective, ISPs and DTH players face similar challenges and issues, such as customer management, service provisioning, and fault resolution, as their telecom counterparts. In addition, several telecom service providers have business units or sister companies that are in the ISP and/or DTH space. Therefore, given its level of engagement with telecom service providers, it will be a good strategic move from Tech Mahindra to extend its offerings into the ISP and DTH space in the near-term.

Challenges

Evidently, B/OSS projects for telecom service providers are a relatively complex and require a significant amount of capital and management resources. This, coupled with a challenging economic environment, is expected to be subject to delays in contracts and service providers returning to the negotiation table for price reduction. Another impact of the global economic slowdown is that the typical sales cycle will lengthen and, therefore, there will be delays in the signing of contracts, which is expected to directly impact growth opportunities for Tech Mahindra. However, this is applicable globally and not centric to APEJ region. Therefore, Tech Mahindra will face an increase level of cost of sales, which could directly impact profitability. As the lines between IT domain and network domain continue to blur, Tech Mahindra will face a stronger challenge from major
Page 20

global players such as IBM, Accenture and HP-EDS. There have been moves undertaken by telecom service providers to consolidate not only the demand for network and ITcentric operations, but also to lower the number of partners (e.g. Telstra). This trend will prove favorable for service providers that have experience in managing multiple facets of IT environment, including enterprise applications. Essential Guidance Advice for Tech Mahindra

Tech Mahindra should continue to leverage its reference-based marketing in the APEJ region. Already, the service provider has successful traction with tier 1 and 2 service providers in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, and India. These references give the service provider strong credentials and differentiate it from others when it comes to executing projects within the region. Given the service providers ability for undertaking consulting engagements, Tech Mahindra should consider its business consulting capabilities beyond CRM and go-to-market strategies. Tech Mahindra needs to build a strong proposition set wherein it can consult telecom service providers on long-term, technology adoption roadmaps, as well as the alignment of IT and network process to business benefits. From the perspective of extending its target segment, Tech Mahindra should consider engaging with ISPs and DTH players in the region. Not only are the functional requirements similar to telecom service providers, but also in many cases the ISPs and DTH companies are either business units or group companies of a larger telecom service provider. Tech Mahindra should also consider building its capabilities for unified communication and collaboration tools. Several service providers in the region offer or are gearing up to offer such services in the near-term. Here, there are challenges from integration and support perspective, as well as a customer management perspective for large business clients. In addition, Tech Mahindra can leverage its partnership with Cisco to build technical skills and capabilities.

Simply, Human resource is management function that helps manager recruit, select, train and develops members for an organization. Obviously, HRM is concerned with peoples dimension in organization. Organization is not mere bricks, mortars, machineries or inventories. They are people who staff and manage organizations. HRM involves the application of management functions and principles. The functions and principles are applied to acquisitioning, developing and maintaining, and remunerating employees in organizations. Decisions relating to employees must be integrated. Decisions on different aspects of employees must be consistent with other human resource decisions. Human resources management is also a management maintaining people in an organization. It focuses people in an organization. Scope of HRM: The scope of HRM is indeed vast. all major activities in the working life of a worker from the time of his or her entry into an organization until he or she leaves-come under the purview of HRM, specifically, the activities included are-HR planning, job analysis and design, recruitment and selection, orientation and placement, training and development, performance evaluation, employee and executive

remuneration, motivation, motivation and communication, welfare, safety and health, industrials relations and the like.

HRM views people as an important source or asset to be used for the benefit of organization employees and the society. It is emerging as a distinct philosophy of management aiming at policies that rewards and mutual responsibility, the belief is that policies of mutuality will elicit commitment. The year 1990 was turning point in this evolution. The American society for Personnel Administration [ASPA], the largest professional association in this field of management changed its name for the society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).since then, the expression is gradually replacing the hackneyed term personnel management.PM has a limited scope and an inverted orientation. It is viewed labor as a tool, the behavior of which can be manipulated for the benefit of the organization and replaced when it was worn- out, the employees whose services could be spared with minimal damage to the organizations ongoing operations. Personnel function was treated as a routine, meant to hire new employees and to maintain personnel records. It was never considered a part of the strategic management of business. Historically PM preceded HRM. Another term used widely today is HRD. For many people HRD and HRM convey the same meaning. This may not be true. Essentially, HRD is a function more concerned with training and

Page 26

development. And the organization development. HRD is therefore a part of HRM.

Recruitment Policy: In order to attain the aim of recruitment a policy regarding recruitment is formulated. This must contain the fallowing element:
Organizations objective: Both short term and long term

objective must be taken into consideration

Identification of the recruitment need: The person desire

as per the job specification should only be considered.

Source of recruitment: The source to be tapped for the

operative level would depend upon the type of skill desired. This could be on the gate recruitment, internal source or employment exchange.
Criteria of recruitment need: On what ground should Page 33

 One be preferred over the other must be taken into account.

The economic aspect: How much amounts a company can

spend to meet the expenses on advertisement, stationary, salaries etc.should also is considered.

General Principals of a Sound Recruitment Policy:

Source of Recruitment: Internal Sources: Employees already working in the

organization are considered for any vacancy either by way of promotion, transfer, deputation or even demotion.

Advantage of internal Recruitment : Workers can be adjusted to the near work environment with in no time. It involves the moral and loyalty of existing employees. Economical and moral reliable. Disadvantage of internal Recruitment : Discourage new ideas to enter.
Page 34

 The bias attitude may lead to disharmony. External Source:-Employees are outsider. Advantage of External Recruitment: Latest skill and Knowledge can be had. Better choice can be made from a large group. Proves to be economical in the long run as potential

employees do not need extra training.

Disadvantage of External Recruitment:-

Cost of Recruitment is more. A lot of time is taken by the employee to get settled. Loyalty factor has a certain amount of risk.

Method and Techniques of Recruitment:Direct Method: Campus Interview: - Many organizations send their recruitment to leading technical institutes of engineering and management and some well known colleges. Indirect Method:-This includes advertising in newspaper and other media. This perhaps the most frequently used method which normally attracts a lot of attention. Copy prepared with care and skill and placed in the right medium can produce excellent result. But one should always
Page 35

seek quality rather than quantity. The first step in recruitment media starts with the selection of media will be a: National daily Local paper A regional paper A Magazine A periodical: In making a choice of the media, three factor should be considered: How quickly do you expect a response? Where is the person you want most likely to read your

announcement? From how wide an area you want the recruitment to take place. Consulting an advertisement agency can always prove to be beneficial.

This is normally obtained from the previous employer and others in order to get a picture of his performance in a particular job. Physical Examination:In order to keep the rate of absenteeism low and the work environment free from any infectious diseases, Physical examination from an important form an important place in the process.

METHODOLOGY OF STUDY:

Research can be defined as a systemized effort to gain new knowledge. It is a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on specific topic. A research is carried out by different methodologies which have their own pros and cons. Research methodology is a way to solve research problems. Thus while talking about research methodologies we are not only talking of research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods. This study aims at tracking employees preferences and priorities towards different types of training programs conducted in and outside the organization for identifying key features of Training programs.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: Research has its special significance in solving various operational and planning problems of business and industry. Research methodology is a way to systematically analyze the research problem.

RESEARCH DESIGN:
Page 45

The study is descriptive in nature. It is conducted to study affairs as they exist. The open study tries to explore the system at present and report on it. The method is structured on non-discussed question. Each person was asked set of questions in a given order. The advantage of this method is that data obtained are easy to tabulate and interpret than data obtain by any other means. The study is explanatory as it does not require a formal dosing the flexibility and ingenuity characterize the study.

PRIMARY DATA: Data collected through interviewing the employees asking several questions. Collecting data by list of questions and asking them to give their opinion on different questions.

SECONDARY DATA: Data collected on training and development program of last five years in the organization. Information collected through internet on training and development.

Page 46

SAMPLE DESIGN: It is the definite plan for obtaining a sample from a given population. To conduct this study simple random sampling is used. Sampling from the population has been done randomly, such that every possible sample of equal size (n) will have an equal chance of being selected. A sample selected in this way has provided every person to be chosen called. A random sample allows chance to determine its elements.

POPULATION: The entire group of individuals that we want information about T.V.S. Logistics there are 3200 employees and it is not possible to conduct the survey of whole population.

SAMPLE SIZE: Using simple random sampling out of the population 50 employees are chosen randomly to avoid biasness for conducting survey.

SAMPLING METHOD: Simple sampling method is used to conduct the survey in T.V.S. Logistics as it was the best method for the purpose of my study.

Page 47

METHOD OF COLLECTING DATA:

1.

Studying data of training and development of last five years this was a good method to collect database regarding employees of the organization.

2. Direct approach to employees by the way of interview. Direct visits were more effective, as I got opportunity of having face to face contact with the employees. I generally visit to any employees through a questionnaire. Most of the people in organization are not aware about the modern theories of human resources. So cold calling creates awareness.

INSTRUMENT OF COLLECTING DATA: 1. Interview with the employees of the organization to know there point of view.
2. Questionnaire prepared with question related to recruitment and

selection.

Observation: Maximum manpower requirement comes from that area which is

very near to the project.

The appropriate method for recruitment is through advertisement in

the news paper a for vacancies of higher level the reliable sources is through a placement agency.

70% always get the right man at the right time where as 20%

seldom get and 10% opined that they never get the right man at the right time.
60 % of data collected revealed that training is always requiring for

the newly placed, 30% seldom require and 10% never require training.
Page 71

 After the interpretation of data, 70% opined that a person remain

absent from work. 20% take more time than normal on the job, 10% maintain bad relation at work.

At least 65% of candidates interviewed revealed that they came to

know about the vacancy through an advertisement in the news paper. 15% reveal the source being an employee of the company and 10% through placement agencies. Remaining 10% from other sources.

Interview for Candidates at operative level faced free and non

directive interviews. Whereas, interview in other categories of staff and managers had a patterned and some depth nature.

Rate of absenteeism is around 12% to 15% which is quite acceptable in this kind of industries.

The rate of labor turn over is around 15% to 20% as the company is

undergoing heavy expansion. As a result the rate of accession is high.

Page 72

Problem and Limitation Faced During the Project Work:a) Exit interview of every candidate leaving the company was not

possible as around 60% leave without informing the personal department. b) Linguistic barrier of not speaking Marathi limited the flow of communication with workers. c) Rating the interview could not be done as it was not possible to witness an ongoing interview.
d) Many of those interviewed were asked to fill the questionnaires but

did not co-operate and left many questions unanswered. e) Factor attributing to the effectiveness of recruitment and selection procedure indirectly were vague and could not be covered comprehensively.

Conclusion:-

After the analysis of information gathered by various means used in research such as , primary data in the form of questionnaire , various
Page 73

interaction I had with the candidates as well as with those concerned recruitment and selection , a secondary data in the form of various record referred to , such as master rolls , manpower reports etc. I could come to conclude that the recruitment and selection procedure of T.V.S.Logistics is quit effective there is some scope of improvement-

This can be stated under the fallowing points:1) Form the questionnaire it can be inferred that 70% recruitment is

met in excellent way.

2) Exit interview taken have provided with some useful information

regarding why people quit the organization. One of main reason behind this has been the level of wages fallowed by job insecurity and lack of transport facility. 3) Most effective method of recruiting manpower is by advertising the vacancy in the news paper.

4) Rate of labour turnover is quit high at the operation level as the

policy of management is to recruit workers mostly on permanent basis.

5) Absent from work has been the most common symptom prior to

resignation from services, fallowed by more time on the job and bad relation at work .So management has applied remedial measures to retain quality workers which is quite effective.

6) Employees have been kept after proper interview and medical

which is quit impressive and which increases the turnover.

Page 74

So according to me recruitment and selection procedure is quit effective in T.V.S. logistics by which productivity is increasing day by day.
