    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    As a requirement during the two years fulltime Post Graduate Diploma in Management, I feel to

    be greatly honored for having done my project work at Bharti Axa life insurance company. The sole

    efforts of any individual are not sufficient enough to complete the Project. The completion of a project

    involves the effort and interest of many people. The guidance and co-operation received during my

    training have left a indelible imprint in my mind and after giving a final shape to my project report, I

    think it would be unwise if I dont acknowledge the help of rendered to me by several members of

    Bharti Axa life family, with whom I came across during my stay here.

    First, I thankfully acknowledge the continuous support and inspiration given to me by my project guide

    Mrs Archana Ernest who was always there to give my spirits a boost.

    I am also indebted to Mrs.Deepa Madhusudan(adm) and for giving me the opportunity to carry out my

    project work at Bharti Axa life.

    I wish to express my gratitude to my respected teachers for their dedicated support and rich source of

    information which made my work much easier and understandable.

    Ultimately I am grateful to my family members, friends and all my well wishers whose blessings

    constantly guide me through all spheres of my life.

    THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    This Report is an attempt to provide a detailed analysis of the process of talent

    management done by Bharti Axa Life Insurance for agency manger.

    In my complete student internship program I met more than 30 agency

    managers. During this student internship program I came to know that, Talent

    management is the single biggest challenge faced by a high-growth industry.

    And, if a company is growing at double the industrys rate of growth, theres the

    additional problem of getting good quality people in large numbers.

    I realize that management needs to be competent and competitive;

    performance management has to be transparent and HR operations have to be

    brilliant. But, of course, all of those things are obvious. This is the price of entry

    into the game. If the organization is not doing any of these, it is not in the game

    at all.

    To my mind, all these aspects need to be done and done well. However,

    they will not give you the differentiation that you need differentiation in terms

    of talent management, which should be the goal today and on which Bharti Axa

    life insurance is focusing strongly. The crucial differentiation between

    organizations that do well and those that dont is talent management.

    SECTOR INTRODUCTION

    INSURANCE IN INDIA

    The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive market to

    nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the development in the insurance sector

    release the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two centuries.

    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LIFE INSURANCE SECTOR

    INSURANCE SECTOR REFORMS

    In 1993, Malhotra committee, headed by former finance secretary and RBI governor R.N Malhotra was

    formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommended its future directions. The Malhotra

    committee was set up with the objective of complementing the reforms initiated in the financial sector.

    The reforms were aimed at creating a more efficient and competitive financial system suitable for the

    requirements of the economy keeping in mind the structural changes currently underway and

    recognizing that insurance is a important part of overall financial system were it was necessary to

    address the need for similar reforms.In 1994, the committee submitted the report and some of the

    key recommendation included:

    I) STRUCTURE

    Government is stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%.

    Government should take over the holding of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can act as

    Independent Corporation.

    All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate

    II) COMPETITION

    Private companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs 1bn should be allowed to enter the industry.

    No Company should deal in both life and general insurance through a single entity.

    Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic companies.

    Postal life insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.

    Only one state level life insurance company should be allowed to operate in each state.

    III) REGULATORY BODY

    The insurance act should be changed

    An insurance regulatory body should be setup.

    Controller of insurance currently a part from the finance ministry. Should be made independent.

    IV) INVESTMENTS

    Mandatory investments of LIC life fund in government security to be reduced from 75% to 50%.

    GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5%in any company (There current holdings to be

    brought down to this level over a period of time).

    V) CUSTOMER SERVICE

    LIC should pay interest in delays in payments beyond 30 days.

    Insurance company should be encouraged to setup unit linked pension plans.

    Computerization of operations and updating of technologies to be carried out in the insurance industry.

    The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase the coverage of

    the insurance industry should be opened up to competition.

    But at the same time, the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new

    players could ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decide to allow competition in a

    limited way stipulating the minimum capital requirement of Rs 100 crores. The committee felt the need

    to provide greater autonomy to insurance company in order to improve there performance and enable

    them to act as independent companies with economic motives. For this purpose, it had proposed setting

    up an independent regulatory body.

    Opportunities in Insurance sector

    The varieties of constraints put on it by its owner, viz the government, was both a reason as well as analibi for the under performance of the nationalized insurance sector. Now that restrictive government

    policies are being given up and public sector units are being empowered to make independent decisions,

    they should be more free to decide their own grown path. it should also be possible for them to prove

    their potential strength by exploiting the tremendous opportunities such as the followingsubstantial

    potential for growth; exploring untapped niche areas; and forming limited joint ventures with suitable

    partners .Easy access to developments in the more advanced markets provide further opportunities to

    upgrade their working .Technological, financial or specific areas-based avenues of absorbing improved

    systems are also now more easily available.

    The expectation that private sector entrants would necessarily take time to secure a foothold in

    the market was in itself an opportunity. In practice,Insurance undergone rapid and massive changes

    in all aspects of their business: product and services, sectoral structure, market segmentation,

    competitive environment. It is believed that the information sharing has not taken its expected shape in

    the insurance industry for the purposes of practices, research and education. However, data is one of the

    most needed ingredients in the insurance business development as well as for research and consultancy.

    There have been regular efforts by IRDA for collection and sharing of the data and other information of

    public interest. The industry is facing problems in terms of data review as parliament need to register

    this beforehand. We believe that progress of the industry should not be constrained by any extraneous

    conditions in the interest of research and development in the area.

    Manpower India today released the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey for the first quarter of

    2008 revealing sustained positive hiring intentions of employers in India. India continues to lead all 23

    countries surveyed this quarter, with a positive overall Net Employment Outlook of +27%. Even though

    this figure represents a decrease of 13 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2007, the

    employment outlook remains extremely healthy.For the first time since the Survey was launched in

    India, the Finance, Insurance and Retail industry sector emerged as the most optimistic sector for a

    quarter with a Net Employment Outlook of +32%, surpassing the Services sector.

    Privatization of insurance sector has allowed insurance companies to work in the market by depositing

    100 crore rupees in the reserve of government. This has encouraged many overseas insurance

    companies, having a required amount in their reserve, to open their branch in our country. Introduction

    of the sector has changed the employment pattern, but people must know how to make profit from it. To

    be in the global market and have advantage of it, capital and skill as per the demand and knowledge of

    market is the requirement. It is necessary that institutions, which form a part of this financial system,

    have internal management, governance and accountability structures, which measure up to the highest

    standards.

    Threats in insurance sector

    These opportunities will of course be accompanied by some threats in the competitive market, and

    maybe of the following nature.Private entrants are naturally targeting the more profitable and the more lucrative segments,

    by providing better service, new products and flexibility .They are targeting the bigger corporate and

    other clients in the well established metropolitan centers. These new entrants have succeeded in eating

    into share of the existing entities. This share will increase substantially, if not in the immediate future,

    but in the long run, if the existing incumbents do not radically alter marketing structure and practices.

    No doubt complaints have been voiced that the means followed by atleast some of them been less

    than fair.Some of these may well be true, but such practices can produce only short term gains

    .Ultimately, the services provided will decide whether the threat of losing the market share will come

    true, and in a competitive market, mere complaining does not help.

    Managing Talent is Key HR challenge in Indian Insurance companies

    The competition for critical talent continues to intensify and many companies are re-evaluating their

    talent management practices. As private business objectives continue to focus on growth in emerging

    and other non-traditional markets and companies search globally for new workforces, the global

    mobility function has become a critical tool to develop and deploy key talent. The organizations that

    master global talent mobility will dominate markets in the 21st century. In response to this imperative,

    the global mobility function must redefine itself from a transaction-based employee service provider to a

    strategic and innovative business partner.

    THE INSURANCE REGULATORY AND DEVELOPMENT

    AUTHORITY (IRDA)

    Reforms in the insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA bill in parliament in

    December 1999.The IRDA since its incorporation as a statuary body in April 2000 has fastidiously

    stuck to its schedule of framing regulation and registering the private sector insurance companies.

    The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the insurance sector and

    in particular the life insurance companies were the launch of IRDAs online service for issue and

    renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also

    insured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce of trained insurance agents in

    place to sell there products, which are expected to introduce by early next year.

    Since being setup as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a framework of globally

    compatible regulations. In the private sector 13 life insurance and 9 general insurance companies have

    been registered.

    Composition of Authority under IRDA Act, 1999

    As per the section 4 of IRDA Act' 1999, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA,

    which was constituted by an act of parliament) specify the composition of Authority. The Authority is a

    ten member team consisting of:-

    THE INSURANCE SECTOR IN INDIA: ITS POTENTIAL ATTRACTIVENESS

    India at a glance

    Population: 1 Billion

    Economy: 5th largest in the world in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)

    GDP growth Rate: Over 6% per year on an average for the last decade

    Savings Rate: Around 26% of GDP

    Estimated middle class population: 300 Million

    Insured population: 70 million only

    The Life Insurance Scenario in India

    As is typical with monopolies, the premium rates charged by LIC are among the highest in the world,

    and its track record in customer service can, at best, be called shabby. With a huge unionized, rigid

    workforce mostly in the clerical category, LIC runs the risk of high fixed cost, which will be the

    deciding factor in productivity in the competitive scenario. While boasting full-scale automation of itsoperation, the truth is that its technology is outdated. The new players, with the state-of-the-art

    technology under their belt, will be in an advantageous position. 80% of LIC's business is procured by

    20% of its ill-trained agent force. The foreign player, with the domestic partner's strong brand value, can

    test the unconventional distribution channels like brokers, the Internet, the banking distribution system,

    etc. Although foreign players may be tempted to keep their operation in the big cities for the 'creamy

    layer' of the society, the real market lies in rural India, which accounts for the lion's share of LIC's

    present business. The foreign player must learn to adapt to Indian realities. The well-publicized failures

    of world famous consumer goods companies like Electrolux, Whirlpool, Reebok, Nike etc. to gauge the

    Indian psyche and sentiments demonstrate the concept. They failed in the areas of realistic pricing,

    product promotion and reaching to the consumer. The foreign companies need to know the "ground

    realities" to the details.

    Analysis of the project

    Talent management definition

    A conscious, deliberate approach undertaken to attract, develop and retain people with the aptitude and

    abilities to meet current and future organisational needs.

    Talent management involves individual and organisational development in response to a changing and

    complex operating environment. It includes the creation and maintenance of a supportive, people

    oriented organisation culture.

    Importance of talent management

    like human capital, talent management is gaining increased attention. Talent management (TM) brings

    together a number of important human resources (HR) and management initiatives.

    Organisations that formally decide to "manage their talent" undertake a strategic analysis of their current

    HR processes. This is to ensure that a co-ordinate, performance oriented approach is adopted.

    Quite often, organisations adopting a TM approach will focus on co-ordinating and integrating:

    Recruitment - ensuring the right people are attracted to the organisation.

    Retention - developing and implementing practices that reward and support employees.

    Employee development - ensuring continuous informal and formal learning and development.

    Leadership and "high potential employee" development - specific development programs for

    existing and future leaders.

    Performance management - specific processes that nurture and support performance, including

    feedback/measurement.

    Workforce planning - planning for business and general changes, including the older workforce

    and current/future skills shortages.

    Culture - development of a positive, progressive and high performance "way of operating".

    32/60

    JASPRIT SINGH BAMRAHPGDM-HR

    32

    An important step is to identify the staff or employees (people and positions) that are critical to the

    organisation. They do not necessarily have to be senior staff members. Many organisations lost a lot of

    "organisational knowledge" in the downsizing exercises of a few years ago. The impact of the loss was

    not immediately apparent. However, it did not take long for many companies to realise their mistake

    when they did not have people with the knowledge and skills to either anticipate or solve problems that

    arose.

    The current discussions about skill shortages and the ageing population are also helping organisations to

    focus on the talent management issue. It may not be possible to simply go out and recruit new people to

    meet operational needs. Many leading companies have decided to develop their own people, rather than

    trying to hire fully skilled workers.

    In summary, every organisation should be implementing talent management principles and approaches.
