ABOUT THE TOPIC HUMAN RESOURCE POLICIES

Human Resource Policies refers to principles and rules of conduct which formulate, redefine, break into details and decide a number of actions that govern the relationship with employees in the attainment of the organization objectives. HR Policies cover the following: 1. Policy of hiring people with due respect to factors like reservations, sex, marital status, and the like. 2. Policy on terms and conditions of employment-compensation policy and methods, hours of work, overtime, promotion, transfer, lay-off and the like. 3. Policy with regard medical assistance-sickness benefits, ESI and company medical benefits. 4. Policy regarding housing, transport, uniform and allowances. 5. Policy regarding training and development-need for, methods of, and frequency of training and development. 6. Policy regarding industrial relations, trade-union recognition, collective bargaining, grievance procedure, participative management and communication with workers.

29

FORMULATING POLICIES
There are five principal sources for determining the content and meaning of policies:

1. Past practice in the organization. 2. Prevailing practice in rival companies.

3. Attitudes and philosophy of founders of the company as also its directors and the top management. 4. Attitudes and philosophy of middle and lower management.

5. The knowledge and experience gained from handling countless personnel problems on day to day basis.

30

BENEFITS OF HR POLICIES
Organizations should have personnel policies as they ensure the following benefits: a. The work involved in formulating policies requires that the management give deep thought to the basic needs of both the organization and the employees. The management must examine its basic convictions as well as give full consideration to the prevailing practices in other organizations. b. Established policies ensure consistent treatment of all personnel throughout the organization. Favoritism and discrimination are, thereby, minimized. c. Continuity of action is assured even though top management personnel change. The CEO of a company may possess a very sound personnel management philosophy. He/she may carry the policies of the organization in his/her head, and he she may apply them in an entirely fair manner. But what happens when he/she retires? The tenure of office of nay manager is finite. But the organization continues. Policies promote stability. d. Policies serve as a standard of performance. Actual results can be compared with the policy to determine how well the members of the organization are living upto the professional intentions. e. Sound policies help build employee motivation and loyalty. This is especially true where the policies reflect established principles of fair play and justice and where they help people grow within the organization. f. Sound policies help resolve intrapersonal, interpersonal and intergroup conflicts.

31

PRINCIPLES OF HR POLICY
1. Principle of individual development to offer full and equal opportunities to every employee to realize his/her full potential. 2. Principle of scientific selection to select the right person for the right job.

3. Principle of free flow of communication to keep all channels of communication open and encourage upward, downward, horizontal, formal and informal communication. 4. Principle of participation to associate employee representatives at every level of decision-making.

5. Principle of fair remuneration to pay fair and equitable wages and salaries commensuration with jobs. 6. Principle of incentive to recognize and reward good performance.

7. Principle of dignity of labour to treat every job and every job holder with dignity and respect. 8. Principle of labour management co-operation to promote cordial industrial relations.

9. Principle of team spirit to promote co-operation and team spirit among employees. 10.Principle of contribution to national prosperity to provide a higher purpose of work to all employees and to contribute to national prosperity.

Researcher has also gathered secondary data which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. He got various information from journals, historical documents, magazines and reports prepared by the other researchers. For the present piece of research the investigator has used the following methods: Questionnaire Interview Observation

SAMPLE OF THE STUDY

A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame. It refers to the technique or the procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting some sampling units from which inferences about the population is drawn. Sampling design is determined before any data are actually collected for obtaining a sample from a given population. The researchers must decide the way of selecting a sample. There are various methods o sampling like systematic sampling, random sampling, deliberate sampling, mixed sampling, cluster sampling, etc. Among these methods of sampling researcher has used random sampling so that bias can be eliminated and sampling error can be estimated. Designing samples should be made in such a fashion that the samples may yield accurate information with minimum amount of research effort.

SAMPLING

Sampling may be defined as the selection of some part of an aggregate or totality on the basis of which a judgment or inference about an entire population by examining only a part of it. The items so selected constitute what is technically called a sample, their selection process or technique is called sample design and the survey conducted in the basis of sample is described as sample survey.

SAMPLE SIZE
In sampling design the most complicated question is: what should be the size of the sample. If the sample size is too small, it may not serve to achieve the objectives and if it is too large, we may incur huge cost and waste resources. So sample must be of an optimum size that is, it should neither be excessively large nor too small. Here, researcher has taken 30 as the sample size.
