PRESIDENT

Importance of HR
Coalescing corporate needs with the individuals is crucial . The
corporation is driven by the interest of its stakeholders, its goals of profitmaking determining its business philosophy . But the individuals bring into
the corporations their own ambitions . In the past, however , the corporate
human resource functions seldom tried to bridge the gap between them.
Being in a buyers market ,considering the countrys huge reservoir of
qualified people and operating with systems that did not distinguish one
individual from another, corporate had no need to ensure congruence
between organizational objectives and an employees aspirations. But equal
access to a;; resources is forcing them to rely on their people as the source of
competitive advantage today. There are five components linked seamlessly
to each other and to the companys business goals.
Recruitment : Woven into strategic planning, recruitment filling measures
or the annual ritual of campus recruitment. Translating corporate strategies
into a man power plan, and developing a long-term hiring programme
accordingly, corporations are tracking down people with the combination of
knowledge, experience, skills, and behavior best suited to achieving the
companys objectives.
Performance management : To ensure that the talent they have attract can
help the organisations achieve their goals, companies are using HR to create
appropriate working conditions .The steps: evaluating all jobs so as to assign
them to the individuals best suited for them. Designing customized jobs if
necessary/
Training and development : As change overtake the stable environment in
which Indian corporations have so far been functioning, organizational goals
are changing rapidly. And so , naturally , are the tasks that people have to
perform. The function of the HR bridge the gap between the abilities that
individuals need to perform these tasks-such as self-directed leadership, selfmotivated teamwork, and self-generated creativity- and those they possess.
Appraisal and Reward : With the first three phases of a companys
integrated HR process focusing on acquiring and equipping people with the
abilities to fulfill corporate objectives, a system of goal-setting, evaluation,
and compensation is being used to directly link organizational objectives to

individual performance. By ensuring that individuals rewards are available


only if corporate goals are mat, the HR is successfully preventing people
from expending their energies on activities that bear no relationship to
organizational objectives.
Organizational Exit : The final step in managing the lifecycle brings the
process back to the starting point of manpower planning . For , planning
separation from the employees whose contribution will no longer add value
to a companys processes is becoming essential-either different stage of its
existence where it now needs a new set of skills from its people.

Discipline

Discipline refers to a mode of conduct as per the rules and regulations


prescribed from time to time. Discipline is of utmost importance as it helps
in the smooth working of an organization. For Example, while driving you
are required to drive to the left side of the road. The purpose is to introduce a
system for using the road , because without a system there will be
uncertainty and chaos. The objective of any disciplinary procedure is to see
that a delinquent employee is suitably punished and at the same time, to do
away with any sort of vindictive or capricious action and to ensure equal
treatment to all for any deviation from the normative behavior.
Of course the disciplinary procedure has to be taken recourse to only as a
last resort. Before that, it is understood that sincere efforts would be made
to inculcate a positive attitude to work in the individual employee and that
each employee is motivated that is enthused to work to the best of his
knowledge and
discharge his duties by using all his knowledge and skills that he inherently
possess or subsequently acquires.
In order to correct indiciplined behavior there are many courses of action
open ranging from informal discussions to serve disciplinary action. In the
SPHINX a lot of emphasis is laid down on counseling of individual
employee and efforts are always made to maintain good human relations in
the organization which subsequently contribute to good Industrial Relations.
However whenever the system of work is
Up set by indiciplined behavior and when counseling has yielding no results,
corrective action becomes
Necessary through the legally acceptable disciplinary procedure.
Disciplinary Procedure
The company adopts a procedural disciplinary system in accordance with
legal provision. The code of conduct is the prime objective. To ensure the
same, the following are adopted.
- Maintain absolute integrity.
- Devotion to duty.
As per standing rules envisaged i.e., THE SPHINX STANDING
ORDERS . the line executed will ensure basic conduct in day to day
aspects. The objective of the disciplinary procedure is to see that the same

time to do away any sort of vindictive or capricious action and to ensure


equal treatment to all for any deviation from the normative.
In the procedure incidents of indiscipline are referred from the
departmental / divisional level to personnel division for necessary action in
the matter.
It is the intention of the management to promote at all times and throughout
the employment relationship in high moral that makes for self discipline in
every team.
Where punitive action is taken against an employee for misconduct, the
normal procedure of giving reasonable opportunity to the employee to
explain his misconduct will be followed.
- Any action of indiscipline can be simply defined as misconduct. An
illustrative list of what constitutes acts of misconduct on the part of an
employee is given in SPHINX Standing Orders .
- All departmental in charge are required to bring the information of
misconduct of an employee working under them to manager (P&A) /
HRD through their functional heads for necessary disciplinary action to
be initiated.

Industrial Relations
Industrial relations in SPHINX has always revolved around the following
policy / approach :
-

A non legalistic best humanistic approach to employee grievances.

- Recognition of legitimate labour practices.


- Terms and conditions of services offered to the employees are always on
par with other comparable organisations.

- Continuous communication with the employee at all levels.


- An open door policy.
Individual grievances have always been handling with an open door policy.
Salary and other terms and conditions have been handled with humanistic
approach.
An attempt is being made to base classification of jobs and emmoluments in
a more scientific manner by way of job evaluation ( i.e. Performance
Evaluation System ).
Grievance handling system :
Employee grievance redressal would be given highest priority to maintain
harmonious and congenial working culture to the extent the SPHINX has
evolved a separate GRIEVANCE HANDLING SYSTEM
To redress at both divisional & corporate level .
Conditions :
Complaints affecting one or more individual employee in respect of their
wages payments, salary anomalies , leave, work assignments, working
conditions and any other working environment problem constitute within the
scope of grievances.
