If current or potential occupants can meet these requirements, Training is not important.
On the other hand, if this is not the case, it is necessary to raise the skill levels and increase the versatility and adoptability of the employees. Moreover, employees are the internal assets of an organization. Training presents a prime opportunity to expand the knowledge base of all employees so that they can relate those training with their workplace and give their best performance achieving company goals. Knowledge and skills development is vital to the health of organizations. We live in an information age today and organizations are routinely valued not just on their physical but on their intellectual capital. Training is one of the chief methods of maintaining and improving intellectual capital, so the quality of an organization’s training affects its value. Untrained or poorly trained employees cost significantly more to support than well-trained employees do.
Training affects employee retention and is valuable commodities that, if viewed as an investment rather than as an expense, can produce high returns. Employees also miss out on work time while attending training sessions, which may delay the completion of projects. Despite the potential drawbacks, training and development provides both the company as a whole and the individual employees with benefits that make the cost and time a worthwhile investment.

I mainly use their website for in general information and also some of the documents provided by the department such as books and some reports based on Training and Development.4.5 LimitationsOne of the major limitations was gathering information. As there are some confidential matters that a company might not want to disclose, so we had to work with the limited information gathered.
Also the time allocated for the report was not that sufficient compared to the amount of work needed in this report. To add more, HR is not widely practiced yet in Bangladesh which made it a bit difficult to gather all the necessary information.Findings & AnalysisInvestment Perspective of HRMSWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool that examines the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats affecting an organization. Human resource departments of jbm Group use it to measure performance and set future their goals. The HR department also uses SWOT analysis with other planning tools to develop action steps that support the HR strategy and the company’s mission.
Strength:Weaknesses:Though, jbm Group is a very stable organization now, presently their one and only weakness is their workers. Seeing the other garments worker, now their workers often put a demand to increase their wages and this act hampers the production.Opportunities:The main opportunity of jbm Group is their updated technology. They constantly make use of the latest machines and technology to improve their products more worth and fashionable. Again, as the company provide quality garments to the leading fashion brands of Europe, Asia, USA and Canadian market, so it is a big opportunity to expand their business for those brands. Another vital opportunity is they have in-house professional quality management team comprised of Quality Manager.Threats:Currently the main threat of jbm Group is the vague political situation of our country.
Because of the extensive strikes, the number of orders has fallen down. Due to political unrest, garments sector of our country undergoes severe problem. Also the garments sector is one main source of38Strategic ManagementStrategic management is a process of determining what needs to be done to achieve corporate objectives over 3-5 years and also examines the organization and the environment in which it operates and attempts to establish an appropriate and optimal “fit” between the two to ensure the organization’s success. It has been already known that jbm garments is a part of business unit group of jbm industries.
Jbm Group perfectly combines strength and expertise in garment manufacturing services suitable for industry needs. They are proud of their international reputation as top quality products and customer-focused value-added service provider for more than 2 decades. By being committed, they always keep on striving hard to add value to the products and services provided for their customers. That is why their reputation was entirely based on the reliability and customer satisfaction which has always been the foundation for their growth.-Corporate Strategies:Growth: Group is a leading manufacturer in Bangladesh. The group is producing a wide range of top quality denim bottoms including some non-denim products. They have four segments.
Jbm group of flour mills, jbm group of dyeing, jbm group of washing and jbm group of garments. They currently fall under growth strategy. Day by day they are expanding their business. The company is now doing business in foreign countries and they are well known for their quality. Their economy scale also enhancing and for this reason they are expanding their market in various countries. They are now developing new product and services in existing market.
The company entered already in Australia, Canada, Europe and many other Asian countries. They only supply their product in foreign countries. They now have large distribution network. They provide them their best quality product. For this reason their growth stage is enhancing rapidly.
Business unit strategies:Jbm Group is now one of the biggest and the most reliable apparel manufacturer providing high quality garments to the leading fashion brands like Replay, H & M, New Yorker, C & A, Esprit, GAP, Old Navy and Macys in the Europe, USA, Asian and Canadian markets. They have 130 management and support staff in corporate office and about 8000 employees forming a big team for services. They always keep on striving hard to add value to the products and services to provide for their customers. That is why their reputation was entirely based on the reliability and customer satisfaction which has always been the foundation for growth.Differentiation:Jbm Group focus on differentiate of products.
They do not maintain cost leadership because they have maintained the quality of product. Normally they deliver the product in foreign countries and their buyers are foreigner so they do not need to maintain cost leadership of product. Their products are different because they have distinguished their products in four categories like boys, girls and children. They normally focus on youth generation fashion trends. When they supply the product they have knowledge about the fashion trends of generations and then they produce the product in this sense. It aims to develop market unique products for different customer segments and has clear competitive advantages.
It wants to deliver excellence product which make them different from other garments industry and it has different customer segments in various qualities of fabrics for children, men and ladies. This company may charge a premium for its product or service. The company does so with confidence because of a highly developed and strong corporate identity. The company can readily pass along higher supplier costs to its customers because of the lack of substitute or alternative products on the market. Moreover jbm can be able to overcome its HR challenges as it has a good balance by competing on such things as price, service and quality, or on any combination of attributes that it believes are important to its customers to gain a competitive advantage. Besides, this company offers employee incentives and compensation for the creativity so that it can be able to add innovative design to differentiate from the others..Evolving Role of HRMEvery company has to follow some roles either they can be traditional or strategic.
The company jbm follows the roles of strategic human resource management system. In the organization the persons who are responsible for the HR jobs are actually the line managers. A strategic approachplaces the responsibility for managing people with the individuals most in contact with them, their respective line managers.Strategic HR is flexible enough to consider the various time frames such as low, medium and long-run as necessary to facilitate the development programs and policies that address the critical strategic challenges faced by the organization. The jbm Group does have the policies but they try to cope with the situations.
That is why they follow the organic control which includes flexibility and whatever is necessary to succeed. Control systems are modified as needed to meet changing conditions.Strategic HR is more proactive and systematic in change initiatives. As they follow the organic control of flexibility, their initiatives are obviously proactive and integrated.they are following total quality management principles and strategic HR role to cope with the rapid changes among the situations.Human Resource PlanningLike the other organizations, Human resource planning plays eminent role in jmb group. The process of HRP is intended to match projected human resource demand with its anticipated supply, with explicit consideration of the skills mix that will be necessary throughout the firm. Human resource planning helps to forecast the manpower requirements, provide the manpower for different department of the company.
Jmb Group go through the human resource planning process to determine the demand of the requirement manpower. Though they do not follow any formal method to determine their employee demand but they select the number by the requirements of line managers/supervisors/department heads. Jmb Group always maintain a shortage of employees, as they do not prefer the surplus.Strategies for employee shortage:jbm group always maintain the number of employees lower than their demand, which means their strategy is to maintain a little shortage rather than maintain a surplus of the employees. As it is a garments company, so during shortage it is easier to offer overtime to the employees. When they get a big proposal from their buyer they make their employees to do overtime to fulfill the desired target. In the time of employee shortage often they hire new employees as they do not prefer to hire temporary employees. They also use job rotation in their different departments.
1. Aggregate Planning:Through our research and interview we came to know that jbm Group follows some of the rules of aggregate planning. Aggregate planning usually anticipates needs for groups of employees who are working as customer representatives.Unit forecasting:As we already came to know that the jbm Group focuses more on their customer relations thus their role of customer representatives is very important.
They follow the process of unit forecasting with some other combinations also. They follow it because this technique has the potential for being the most responsive to the needs of the marketplace because it places responsibility for estimating employee needs at the “point of contact” in service provision orSkills inventory system:Jmb Group uses the skills inventory system to assess the ability, skills, experience of existing employees. The employees provide their information about education, qualification, age, ability, skills etc. Their inventory system is actually computerized databases and combination of both job description and job specification which is also an important part of their overall HRIS system. They also update the system annually.Usually an aggregate planning is an operational activity done for the production process in advance which is also considered as the long term decision. But in jmb Group it is actually both long term and short term depending upon the customers need and demand as they are changing frequently and affecting the overall situation of both market and production.
2. Succession Planning:Jmb Group prefers to follow succession planning for their top level positions. They follow this system as it is very easy to execute and the employees are known about the company. Usually they do not inform the employees about the vacancy of the top levels. They evaluate the employees for the position by observing the employee’s work and their performance card, which is kept in the skill inventory for so long.
After observing some targeted employees, they take interview of them. After selecting the employee the company gives them training which could be on the job training, off the job training or seminars and workshops. Completing the training successfully the employee is ready for the vacant position.StaffingStaffing is the step done after conducting a successful HRP. Once the demand for manpower is calculated, jbm then undergoes various steps of staffing. It is necessary for conducting proper staffing that the staffing strategies used should comply with business strategy.
interview of head of HR department, we got to know that M&J mainly focuses on permanent employee. They do not rely on temporary employees.Recruitment of employees:Since jbm does recruitment and selection semi annually, therefore between those time gaps supervisors keep a performance track record of the garments worker level employees. This record helps them to determine employee needs. When the time of posting job vacancy comes, the recruitment need and the job position.
Sources:For junior level recruitment, job vacancy is announced internally as well as externally. Job description and specification is clearly mentioned in the vacancy advertisement.Internal sources: Initially, same vacancy ads are posted in the bulletin board of the company. This is done to encourage existing employees to apply for the desired post. Also, company considers applicants who are referred by existing employees if the reference is through valid source and reliable.External sources: Vacancy ads are posted in their own web-site also various job sites. Fresh graduates are also welcomed. Ads are also posted in local news papers.
For top level employees, a closed recruitment process is followed. No vacancy ads are posted. Top level managers or head of HR decides who will be recruited by conducting a meeting with the board members.
Selection of employees:All the CVs of the interested applicants are sorted. These CVs are then initially screened by the line managers, here they match them with the job description and then decide which applicants have the possibility to precede to interview level.After the initial screening of the CVs, the chosen CV candidates are called for an interview session conducted by the senior level management along with supervisor.A written test is conducted and the chosen candidates undergo that test. From the written assessment, few candidates proceed to the next level.Again candidates are sorted depending on their interview session and written test; few are selected for further and final interview.Training & DevelopmentTraining is an educational process.
People can learn new information, re-learn and reinforceexisting knowledge and skills, and most importantly have time to think and consider what new options can help them improve their effectiveness at work. Effective trainings convey relevant and useful information that inform participants and develop skills and behaviors that can be transferred back to the workplace.Organizational Development is a process that “strives to build the capacity to achieve and sustain new desired state that benefits the organization or community and the world around them.
“These two processes, Training and Organizational Development, are often closely connected. Training can be used as a proactive means for developing skills and expertise to prevent problems from arising and can also be an effective tool in addressing any skills or performance gaps among staff. Organizational Development can be used to create solutions to workplace issues, before they become a concern or after they become identifiable problem.Identification of training objectives:As a garment company, jbm has to cope with and adopt all the new advancement of and rapid changes in the technology, demand patterns, customer tastes and competitors’ threats and their employees also need to learn all about them, the terms, new discoveries, new breakthroughs, improve their skills and knowledge, and all these are done by providing needed training to the employees.
So to improve their skill and broaden their knowledge, the HRD of jbm Is working49. Three steps of need assessment are:Organization analysisTask analysisIndividual analysis.Process of training evaluation:Good modern personal development and evaluation extend beyond the obvious skills and knowledge required for the job or organization or qualification.
Effective personal development must also consider: individual potential (natural abilities often hidden or suppressed); individual learning styles; and whole person development (life skills, in other words).Workers’ performances are recorded in jbm garments which give a clear idea at a glance that who needs training to improve or who are performing the best. I have discussed earlier that the company provides workshops and seminars to every employees who requires it. After providing with the training for a certain period of time, the managers then check out their performances again to52evaluate whether the training was successful or not.
The evaluation is basically made through observation and interview. As producing the clothes is something very physical so, they prefer mostly for the direct observation. The managers look at some of the vital points while evaluating and they are:Is the unit better because of training?Are trainees behaving on the job after training?To what extent trainees have greater knowledge after the training program?What are the trainees’ reactions about the overall training program?The evaluated performances are then recorded again to update the previous performance data. If the training program really improves the performances and can obtain a great success then it is continued for the upcoming groups and if this does not bring any success to the organization then the whole program is restructured. However training sometimes fails because of program mentality, duration fixation and wrong assumption.Integration of training outcomes with other HR practices:Training outcomes integrate with the other HR practices in jbm garments. It integrates with the best HR practices of the company and they are:Training helps achieving organizational goals every year.
Delight employees with unexpected things i.e. rewards. It is mainly o motivate the workers.
Recognizes employee talents by public appreciation i.e. colleagues.Highlight the best performers and make them visible so that the others put their best and the environment becomes pure competitive.Systematic knowledge sharing that supports the strategy.Performance linked bonuses which increase the motivation, productivity and the competition.PerformanceManagementCompensation3.
8 Performance Management SystemPerformance management system is designed to manage employee’s performance. It is a review for each employee that identifies the strengths and weaknesses. Jbm Group does this in both manual and digital way.
Performance appraisal is a part of performance management system. Performance Appraisal is a process through which a manager evaluates and examines an employee’s behavior by comparing it with the standard or performance of others. Every successful organization has to evaluate their performance to find out organizational progress. This evaluation process varies from company to company.Performance management system has to go through four steps to get the best result.First of all, the organization must determine the purpose of the system and how it will be used.
A performance management system may have several purposes and the organization has to design that in such a way that goes with their objectives. jbm group’s purpose is mainly to develop employees, enhance motivation and facilitate human resource planning.Second step of the system is to decide who will be responsible for this performance management system. According to senior executive of HR, Amit Kumar Deb, three participants are involved in their PMS- Supervisor, employee himself and subordinates. First they do the self assessment, then subordinates give their opinion and supervisor plays the most important role by updating their appraisal form.54Next step is to find how to evaluate – absolute or relative.
Absolute is comparing one’s performance with the standard and relative is to compare with other employee’s performance. Jbm Group never does the absolute process. Instead they compare their performance with pre decided standard.Finally organization decides the method to be used in the system. Many methods are available including Graphic rating scale, Behaviorally Anchored rating scale , Management by objectives, Forced distribution etc. jbm Group basically follows MBO where they have corporate goal, individual employee has a goal, supervisor monitors the progress, and then evaluates the performance and finally department heads decide the reward.
Jbm Group keeps computerized document for each employee which is being updated after every appraisal.management system:They do this PMS to find out what kind of training is needed for individual employeeBy updating the performance management form to adjust compensationIn garments, supervisor watches over the employees which makes them perform betterJbm Group believes if the leader is not cooperative, subordinates will not give their best. That is why they take their opinion in performance management system.Supervisor knows his employees, their nature, skill very well. So the main responsibility of updating the performance document is given to him.
He decides which employee needs training, after training their changes in performance etc.Recommendation & ConclusionRecommendationIn strategic management they only focus on quality and services but they do not focus on cost. In competitive advantages they should attain cost also.
They only provide services to foreign countries and foreign buyers but they should deliver the product in our country also because it also expands the business and product.Without knowing about the best practice model they are following all the elements but not simultaneously.
