Now a days human resource management has extended from its traditional functions into the domain of planning, motivation, etc. In this report we have tried to examine the practical implementation of the theoretical concepts learnt throughout this course. An effort has been made to analyze and ascertain the variances between the HR functions carried out at Habib Bank of Pakistan and the theoretical concepts underlying the field of Human Resource Management.

EVOLUTION OF BANKING:
As for as the word bank is concerned, it is not yet decided how it was concerned, there are various opinions regarding the organization of the word Bank. One view is that the word is derived from words bamcus or bamque, which means a bank. Another opinion is that the word bank is derived from German word back which means first of funds. However, no record is available to confirm validity of any options.

HISTORY OF BANKING:
It is believed that Baby Lonians were the first to develop system. As early as 2000 B.C. King Hammurabi, the founder of the baby lonian empire drew up a court where he laid down standards, rules and procedures for banking operations which deals with all aspects of loans, interests, pledges, guarantees, natural accidental laws and thefts. Later on Simerians and Hellities standardize the value of goods and silver, cooper and browns.

MODERN BANKING:
Banking in its modern form started in Britain when many of the Lombardy merchants came to England in the 14th century. They deal not only keeping the money in safe custody but also changed the money for the travelers, for the merchants in foreign trade. Later on the business was taken over Gold Smith. They introduce necessary facilities of safe keeping of the valuable and the cash of their customers. This Gold Smith assured the cash or articles left with them. These were Gold Smith notes.

INTRODUCTION:
Rensis Likert asserts that human assets are more valuable than physical assets and should be carried on the organizations balance sheet. After all, each productive employee represents a considerable investment in recruiting and training. At to this cost it would take to find, hire and train someone else to do the same job and you can begin the significance of Human Resource Management. Likert goes on to argue that in economic recessions, firms would be wiser to reduce inventories drastically and sell machinery than to dispose of their most important asset-people. Traditionally viewed as Personal Management involved the performance of certain basic Personnel Functions as selection, training, and compensation. These functions often were performed with much regard for their interrelationship or intended contributions to organizational objectives. In contrast Human Resource Management as it is currently perceived represents the extension rather than the rejection of the traditional requirements for managing personnel activity effectively. Required still is an understanding of human behavior and the skill to utilize it. Also required the knowledge and various personnel functions performed in managing human resources, as well as the ability to perform them in accordance with organizational objectives. An awareness of existing economic, social, and legal constraints upon the performance of these functions is most essential. Human Resource Management as it is practiced today in organizations like Habib Bank Limited and about every other big organization represents a system approach. This approach recognizes the dynamic interaction of personnel function and with the objectives of the organizations. Most important, it recognizes that human resources planning must be coordinated closely with the organizations strategic and related planning functions. As a result efforts in human resource management are

being directed toward providing more support for the achievement of the organizations operating goals. The present status of the field of HRM has been achieved only after years of progress involving an evolutionary development. We hope that this report will help readers not only better understand the forces that have contributed to this progress, but also to become more aware of the forces that may have an effect upon it today and in the future.

DETERMINATION OF NEEDS:
(JOB DESIGN)
An organization that dont do the planning for Human Resources may find that it isnt meeting either its personnel requirements or its overall goals effectively, it is a challenging task today, given the increasingly competitive environment. The HRM department can have a significant effect on an organization in a number of ways, depending on what goals a company chooses to focus on. Human Resource planning is the process of anticipating and making provisions for the movement of people into, within, and out of the organization. Its purpose is to optimize the utilization of these resources and to have available the required no. of people with the needed qualifications to fill the positions openings where and when these opening occur.

IMPROTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING:


It is an essential process of Management. Because management entails accomplishing results with and through people, the planning process must include the organizations human resources. HRP provides the foundation for an effective personnel program and for coordinating the personnel functions being performed with in it. Several intangible costs may result from inadequate HRP or lack of it. For example, inadequate HRP can result in vacancies remaining vacant. The resulting loss in efficiency can be costly, particularly when lead-time is required to train replacements. Situations also may occur in which employees are being laid off in one department while applications are being hired for similar jobs in another

department. This may cause over-hiring and result in the need to layoff those who were recently hired. Finally, lack of HRP makes it difficult for employees to make plans for effective career or personal development. As a result, some of the more competent and ambitious ones may seek other employment where their career opportunities can be more clearly identified.

JOB EVALUATION:
It is obvious that we value some positions more than others. We pay more for them, and we take greater pains filling them. Several workable approaches to the evaluation of jobs have been presented, but here we will discuss only the two most commonly used ones, here we should remember one thing that we are evaluating jobs not the people, which are: 1. Comparison Method 2. Job-Factor Method

COMPARISON METHOD:
This method of evaluating positioned that managers fill is basically a subjective guesswork approach. The Known salaries of top management in the same company, and the going price for positions throughout the industry are balanced in the mind of the evaluating manager to arrive at a comparative value figure.

JOB-FACTOR METHOD:
The job-factor method is more involved and objective but still owes a major debt to the subjective judgment of the evaluator. This approach assigns mathematical difficult factors to each job or position. This technique has been used for years at the

lower level job, and resulted in phenomena such as overtime. However, it is still not widely applied in the upper echelons because the assignment of pay-worthy difficulties pits one evaluators guess against anothers. every managers assumes his or her problem to be the most in surmountable. At Habib Bank Limited Human Resource Planning is an ongoing process, which continues all year round. In this process all business heads including Human Resource Department head takes part. It is budgeted annually. The hiring could be only permanent basis or on the contract basis according to the requirement of the bank. It is done in line with line and staff managers. The top executives and line managers are included in planning, for their advice on the need of their own department. We do have to be very careful in planning for the future personnel needs of our company, because at no point of time do we want to be overstaff in one department and understaffed in another, said Mr. Shaikh M. Rafi Vice President HBL.

IMPROTANCE OF RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION FOR ORGANIZATION:


The quality of organization Human Resources depends upon the quality of the recruits. Recruitment is the process of finding attracting capable applicants for employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applications are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected. As Habib Bank Limited Company is a service organization, so its performance is mainly dependant upon the abilities and performance of its employees and best people can be selected through only good recruitment process.

New permanent recruitment is banned since 1998 in Habib Bank Limited. But the employees on contract basis were fulfilling needs for new employees during this period.
