INTRODUCTION TO BAT & PTC

BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO

British American Tobacco has been in business for more than 100 years, trading through theturbulence of wars, revolutions and nationalizations as well as all the controversy surrounding

smoking. The business was formed in 1902, as a joint venture between the UKs Imperial

Tobacco Company and the American Tobacco Company founded by James Buck Duke.

Despite its name, derived from the home bases of its two founding companies, British American

Tobacco was established to trade outside both the UK and the USA, and grew from its roots in

dozens of countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and continental Europe.

Early years: 1902 1932

In its first quarter century, British American Tobacco expands rapidly. From Canada to China,

the company has from the start a single objective: to seek market leadership in all countries

where a market exists. With operations around the world, the company finally reaches the US in

the 1920s with the acquisition of a small North Carolina company, Brown & Williamson. As

trading conditions deteriorate after the Wall Street Crash in 1929, the 1930s sees consolidation

across the company, with several distribution networks becoming fully fledged subsidiaries.

Middle years: 1933 - 1968

First war, then decolonization, creates turbulent times for British

American Tobacco from the 1930s to the 1960s.After the

upheaval of the Second World War and the loss of its Chinese

operations, the company goes on to lose several end markets. But

worldwide sales continue to grow. The impact of the Second

World War on British American Tobacco is no less profound

than that of the First World War. European operations are

severely disrupted. In the Far East, the company loses contact

with companies occupied by the Japanese. In China, where the

companys cigarette sales exceed 55 billion in 1937, the Japanese invasion brings British

4

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

5/40

American Tobacco sales to a halt for more than four years. By 1942, profits that had remained

static at 5.5 million right through the depression were down to 3 million. They stayed at that

level until the war ended.

Recent past: 1969 now

By 1970, British American Tobacco has operations in 50 countries. Diversification with the

creation of BAT Industries in the late 1970s and the expansion into financial services in the

1980s gives way by 1989 to a re-focus on the tobacco business.

Acquisition

By 1970, under new Chairman Richard Dobson, British American Tobacco companies are

manufacturing in 140 factories across 50 countries. Two years later, with the revocation of its

1902 agreement with Imperial, it gains exclusive ownership of its original brands, including

State Express, in the UK and Western Europe.

In the companys quest for another significant business, British American Tobacco finally settles

on retailing where acquisition in the seventies includes Argos in the UK and Saks Fifth Avenue

in the United States.

In 1976, the Group undergoes radical reorganization. With a new Chairman, Peter Macadam,

operations are coordinated under a new holding company, B.A.T Industries. Within two years,

Industries is the UKs third largest company and the largest tobacco manufacturer in the free

world with annual sales of 500 billion cigarettes.

As the company celebrates its 75th anniversary in 1977, Macadam comments: We have

survived two world wars, the loss of our China business, [and] dispossession in numerous places

elsewhereand we have come through stronger and, I believe, better poised today than we have

ever been.

BAT is now performing two major functions all over the world, i.e. Financial & Insurance

Services and Cigarette Manufacturing.

International brands are those, which cross a number of regions. These brands are

handled globally in order to present one consistent message to consumers worldwide.

Examples include States Express 555, Dunhill, Rothmans, Benson & Hedges, Lucky

Strike, John Player Gold Leaf and Winfield.

Regional brands feature strongly with one geographic area. Advertising, promotions and

product is coordinated by the regional or area team. Such brands are: Belmont Embassy,

Gold Flak and Wills Navy Cut.

Local brands are strongly at a national level and are of significance to an operating

company. They are managed entirely at the country level. Examples are: Embassy Filter,

Gold flak Soft Cup and Three Castles

Vision Statement

We have outstanding people and a great place to work to deliver excellent business performance.

PAKISTAN TOBACCO COMPANY LIMITED

From being the first multinational to set up its business in Pakistan in 1947 and beginning

operations out of a warehouse near Karachi Port, we have come a long way. From being just a

single factory operation to a company which is involved in every aspect of cigarette production,

8

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

9/40

from tobacco cultivation to packaging we have evolved and grown with Pakistan. However, what

is significant about these fifty-seven years is the effort that PTC has demonstrated in the

development of the country. By being instrumental in the campaign for modern agricultural and

industrial practices, we have helped in the development and progress of the agricultural &

industrial sector in the country.

We have been supporting & contributing to various causes of national interest. Educating

growers in the latest techniques and technology in agriculture, afforestation and free health care

in designated areas are but a few examples. Through these fifty-seven years, our continuous

investment in people, brands, technology, innovation an the communities in which we operate

has borne fruit in many ways and to mention just a few; we are deemed as a partner of choice by

many, our Environmental, Health & Safety standards are a source of inspiration for localcompanies, our Industrial Relations practices have led and influenced local practices, and as a

result of all these, our managers are highly valued and sought after people in the Pakistani

corporate world based on the training and exposure we give them from very early on in their

careers.

PTC is the largest excise tax generator in the private sector in the country. In 2008 alone, PTC

paid the government close to Rs.16 Billion in excise and sales taxes. This amounts to over Rs. 50

million per working day. Over one million people are economically dependent on the industry in

Pakistan.

P T C- AKORA KHATTAK FACTORY

At the time of birth of Pakistan in 1947, all tobacco was imported into the country. In 1952, a

development project for tobacco leaf was initiated in N.W.F.P. that progressed rapidly. A

redrying plant was also set up at Akora Khattak and development of Virginia tobacco

9

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

10/40

commenced. In 1975 a new cigarette factory was established in Akora Khattak to meet the

increasing demand of public. Now Akora Khattak Factory is one of the largest factories of

NWFP.

AKF recently executed a large number of mega projects, these include

Modernization of Green Leaf Thrashing Plant.

Upgrading of Primary and Secondary manufacturing departments.

Installation of modern high technology, LOGA max machines.

Learning Resource Centers for the community.

MAJOR BRANDS OF PAKISTAN TOBACCO COMPANY

We recognize that our business starts with our consumers and our brands. Its not about

encouraging people to start smoking or to smoke more, but about meeting the

preferences of adults who have chosen to consume tobacco, and differentiating our

brands from their competitors.

Training and development in general

In the field of human resource management, training and development is the field concerned

with organizational activity aimed at bettering the performance of individuals and groups in

organizational settings. It has been known by several names, including employee development,

human resource development, and learning and development. Harrison observes that the name

11

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_managementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resource_management

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

12/40

was endlessly debated by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development during its review

of professional standards in 1999/2000.

"Employee Development" was seen as too evocative of the master-slave relationship between

employer and employee for those who refer to their employees as "partners" or "associates" to be

comfortable with. "Human Resource Development" was rejected by academics, who objected to

the idea that people were "resources" an idea that they felt to be demeaning to the individual.

Eventually, the CIPD settled upon "Learning and Development", although that was itself not free

from problems, "learning" being an overgeneral and ambiguous name. Moreover, the field is still

widely known by the other names.

Training and development encompasses three main activities: training, education, and

development. Garavan, Costine, and Heraty, of the Irish Institute of Training and Development,

note that these ideas are often considered to be synonymous. However, to practitioners, they

encompass three separate, although interrelated, activities

1. Training

This activity is both focussed upon, and evaluated against, the job that an individual currently

holds.

2. Education

This activity focusses upon the jobs that an individual may potentially hold in the future, and is

evaluated against those jobs.

3. Development

This activity focusses upon the activities that the organization employing the individual, or that

the individual is part of, may partake in the future, and is almost impossible to evaluate

The "stakeholders" in training and development are categorized into several classes. The

sponsors of training and development are senior managers. The clients of training and

development are business planners. Line managers are responsible for coaching, resources, and

12

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

13/40

performance. The participants are those who actually undergo the processes. The facilitators are

Human Resource Management staff. And the providers are specialists in the field. Each of these

groups has its own agenda and motivations, which sometimes conflict with the agendas and

motivations of the others.

The conflicts are the best part of career consequences are those that take place between

employees and their bosses. The number one reason people leave their jobs is conflict with their

bosses. And yet, as author, workplace relationship authority, and executive coach, Dr. John

Hoove points out, "Tempting as it is, nobody ever enhanced his or her career by making the boss

look stupid." Training an employee to get along well with authority and with people who

entertain diverse points of view is one of the best guarantees of long-term success.

Talent, knowledge, and skill alone won't compensate for a sour relationship with a superior, peer,

or customer.The quality of employees and their development through training and education are

major factors in determining long-term profitability of a small business. If you hire and keep

good employees, it is good policy to invest in the development of their skills, so they can

increase their productivity.Training often is considered for new employees only. This is a

mistake because ongoing training for current employees helps them adjust to rapidly changing

job requirements.

Identifying Training Needs

Training needs can be assessed by analyzing three major human resource areas: the organization

as a whole, the job characteristics and the needs of the individuals. This analysis will provide

answers to the following questions:

Where is training needed?

13

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

14/40

What specifically must an employee learn in order to be more productive?

Who needs to be trained?

Begin by assessing the current status of the company how it does what it does best and the

abilities of your employees to do these tasks. This analysis will provide some benchmarks

against which the effectiveness of a training program can be evaluated. Your firm should know

where it wants to be in five years from its long-range strategic plan. What you need is a training

program to take your firm from here to there.Second, consider whether the organization is

financially committed to supporting the training efforts. If not, any attempt to develop a solid

training program will fail.

Next, determine exactly where training is needed. It is foolish to implement a companywide

training effort without concentrating resources where they are needed most. An internal audit

will help point out areas that may benefit from training. Also, a skills inventory can help

determine the skills possessed by the employees in general. This inventory will help the

organization determine what skills are available now and what skills are needed for future

development.

Also, in today's market-driven economy, you would be remiss not to ask your customers what

they like about your business and what areas they think should be improved. In summary, theanalysis should focus on the total organization and should tell you (1) where training is needed

and (2) where it will work within the organization.

Once you have determined where training is needed, concentrate on the content of the program.

Analyze the characteristics of the job based on its description, the written narrative of what the

employee actually does. Training based on job descriptions should go into detail about how the

job is performed on a task-by-task basis. Actually doing the job will enable you to get a better

feel for what is done.

14

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

15/40

Individual employees can be evaluated by comparing their current skill levels or performance to

the organization's performance standards or anticipated needs. Any discrepancy between actual

and anticipated skill levels identifies a training need.

TYPES OF TRAINING

There are two broad types of training available to small businesses: on-the-job and off-the-job

techniques. Individual circumstances and the "who," "what" and "why" of your training program

determine which method to use.

15

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

16/40

On-the-job training is delivered to employees while they perform their regular jobs. In this

way, they do not lose time while they are learning. After a plan is developed for what should be

taught, employees should be informed of the details. A timetable should be established with

periodic evaluations to inform employees about their progress. On-the-job techniques include

orientations, job instruction training, apprenticeships, internships and assistantships, job rotation

and coaching. . On the job training (OJT) is job training that occurs in the work place. The new

employee learns the job while doing the job and while earning his or her pay check. On the job

training is also called hands on training. On the job training has many advantages, but it can also

have a few disadvantages if the OJT is not properly planned and executed.

One major drawback of on the job training can be finding the right time for it. The person

responsible for giving and evaluating the training has to be sure that his or her other jobresponsibilities are being met. Another disadvantage of OJT is that it can be difficult to find the

right person to conduct it. The person doing the training must have the knowledge and skills with

the same equipment that the learner will be working with. Care must also be given not to pass on

sloppy work habits or unintentionally teach irrelevant or inefficient work methods to the new

worker/learner.

If these disadvantages are eliminated, however, on the job training can be beneficial for both the

company and the new employee. OJT can be cost-effective for the business since a separate

training program isn't required and the training is part of the actual work shifts. No extra

equipment is needed as the new worker learns on the equipment needed for the job anyway. On

the job training often works out really well for the new employee since traditional training

periods tend to have a training allowance that may be lower than the regularpay scale for the

job.

Also, there is no need for the new worker to have to travel to one place for the training and

another for the job. Many times the person who will be doing the training and evaluation is the

new worker's supervisor ormanager so this also establishes job expectations right at the start.

The feedback during on the job training is also immediate, so the new employee may experience

faster growth in the job than he or she would in other types of training situations.

Off-the-job techniques: off the job training involve employees taking training courses away

from their place of work. This is often also referred to as "formal training. Off the job training

courses might be run by the business' training department or by external providers.

It include lectures, special study, films, television conferences or discussions, case studies, role

playing, simulation, programmed instruction and laboratory training. Most of these techniques

can be used by small businesses although, some may be too costly

Advantages of off-the-job training:

1. Use of specialist trainers and accommodation

2. Employee can focus on the training - and not be distracted by work

3. Opportunity to mix with employees from other businesses

Disadvantages of off-the-job training:

1. Employee needs to be motivated to learn

2. May not be directly relevant to the employee's job

3. Costs (transport, course fees, examination fees, materials, accommodation)

In case of new hiring the focused on two steps one in orientation are for new employees. The

first several days on the job are crucial in the success of new employees. This point is illustrated

by the fact that 60 percent of all employees who quit do so in the first ten days. Orientation

training should emphasize the following topics:

Companys history and mission.

On the Job and Off the Job Training In PTC

Pakistan Tobacco Company divided its employees in three categories for ON-THE JOB and OF-

THE JOB training.

1) WORKERS

2) BUSINESS SUPPORT

OFFICIERS (BSOs)

3) MANAGERS

ON-THE JOB Training For Workers:

train there employ for the new technology like new machines etc. They are supposed to

give them training on computer that they can aware of every thing practically. Because

they believe on practical training. After giving training they create some problem in

machines and then tell their workers to solve out the required problem. Which prove that

what employ gain during training.

ii. Attitudinal Training: In this they try to make there employees social and teach

them about organization culture, Rules and Regulation and about there rights in

organization. And make them disciplined.

iii. Week promotion:

In order to retain employees and keep them motivated, the employees having good

performance can be promoted to the next higher post. There are two bases for promotion

in PTC - the suitability and Seniority. Suitability means the suitability of the person in

terms of his performance on the job and seniority means the time he has passed in PTC.

There are certain jobs to which eligible persons are directly promoted and do not require

any further training. But certain jobs require special training for a particular period. So,

when a person is to be promoted to these jobs they are provided with specified training.

There is an annual assessment form, which is used to grade employees. It depends upon

the work performance, quality of work, cooperation, versatility, general knowledge, and

punctuality and attendance of a worker.

In this programme PTC is suppose to promote their workers to high grade. By this they

give them training and offered them different types of courses these courses may include

6 months and 15 month of durations. In promotion programme PTC promoted their

unskilled employees having A6 grade to semiskilled and semiskilled to skilled employees

having A9 grade.

Management training on the job and of the job is same like that Business Support Officers

Employees Development in General

There are two types of Employees Development

1. Career Development

Career development is the ongoing acquisition or refinement of skills and knowledge, including

job mastery and professional development, coupled with career planning activities. Job mastery

skills are those that are necessary to successfully perform one's job. Professional development

skills are the skills and knowledge that go beyond the scope of the employee's job description,

although they may indirectly improve job performance.

Since career development is an ongoing, dynamic process, employees may need encouragement

and support in reviewing and re-assessing their goals and activities. You are in a key position to

provide valuable feedback and learning activities or resources. Formal training and classes awayfrom the job are effective in providing new information, but adult learners also need to practice

new skills. Therefore, you can contribute significantly to your staff member's career development

by supporting career development activities within your department.

Guiding Principles

22

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

23/40

Your support for career development is important because:

Current information about the organization and future trends helps employees create

more realistic career development goals

Opportunities for promotion and/or lateral moves contribute to the employee's career

satisfaction

Career planning and development clarifies the match between organizational and

individual employee goals

Career development increases employee motivation and productivity

Attention to career development helps you attract top staff and retain valued employees

2. Management Development

The management and leadership development process is flexible and continuous, linking an

individual's development to the goals of the job and the organization. Management development

programs on campus give you the opportunity to develop a broad base of skills and knowledge

that can be applied to many jobs on campus. D&T's management development curriculum is

changing. The overarching goal is a comprehensive curriculum for managers and supervisors todevelop the necessary core competencies to become excellent leaders. The Employee Relations

Unit also provides training for managers and supervisors, along with performance management

tools. Expanding management core competencies will enable campus managers to keep pace

with the demands of a changing organization. Enroll in the Supervisory Certificate Program

options for development. On-the-job development opportunities are the most effective way for

employees to develop their skills, knowledge, and behavior and you should actively encourage

your team to challenge themselves to learn new skills on a daily basis, by learning from thosearound them.

PTC IN-House Training Programmes:

In-house training is the daily responsibility of supervisors and employees. Supervisors are

ultimately responsible for the productivity and, therefore, the training of their subordinates.

These supervisors should be taught the techniques of good training. They must be aware of the

knowledge and skills necessary to make a productive employee. Trainers should be taught to

establish goals and objectives for their training and to determine how these objectives can be

used to influence the productivity of their departments.

PTC has developed its own portfolio of training Programmes customized to the needs of

employees and the Organization. PTC engage the best training and development providers in

SWOT ANALYSIS

32

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

33/40

SWOT analysis is a general technique which can find

suitable applications across diverse management

functions and activities, but it is particularly appropriate

to the early stages of strategic and marketing planning.

Performing a SWOT analysis involves the generation

and recording of the strengths, weaknesses,

opportunities, and threats concerning a task, individual,

department, or organization. It is standard for the

analysis to take account of internal resources and

capabilities (strengths and weakness) and factors

external to the organization (opportunities and threats).

Strengths - to build on

Weaknesses - to cover

Opportunities - to capture

Threats - to defend against

We can use a SWOT analysis to identify and analyze the Strengths and Weaknesses of

Organization, as well as the Opportunities and Threats revealed by the information we have

gathered on the external environment. The team members, the managers mostly use the analysis.

The basic purpose of using the SWOT analysis is to develop a plan that takes into consideration

many different internal and external factors, and maximizes the potential of the strengths and

opportunities while minimizing the impact of the weaknesses and threats.

EXTERNAL FACTORS:

Opportunities:

33

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

34/40

PTC is the market leader from last 10 years it is possible only because of the efficiencies of

every individual working there (MOMs, BSOs, and Workers).How they become so efficient just

because of their abilities to compete in the market. And the abilities come just because of their up

to date training and development its mean that every individual is also the market best individual

from 10 years. So we can say that their Employees are the best employees in all over the market.

The opportunities which they see in the market are to sustain on the top always. Reaching to the

Top is not so difficult but the most difficult is that to sustain on that position. And also to provide

them latest and up to date training and development to maintained their efficiency. And provide

new programmes for training or monitoring quality. Increasing profitability by making their

employees more efficient and provide them the best working environment that others cant. And

last but not the least Limited options in locally produced quality cigarette.

Threats:

The opposite of Opportunities all the above may, with a shift of emphasis or perception, have an

adverse impact. Threat is an External factor that affects the Organization activities. One can not

34

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

35/40

fully over come on the External threats but they can minimize it to some extent. The threats that

PTC faces for their Employees Training and Development are

1. Security Threat: Now a days PTC faces a very Common threat of security for

their Employees Training and Development. Because they can not send their employees

for out door Training and Development Programmes.By this their Employees can not get

the required training for the required task.

2. Threat of Competitors: PTC is market leader its reason may be that, that it has

no such a big competitor in the Pakistani market. No doubt PTC provides their employees

the best environment for working and for their Training and Development Programmes.

But they feel threat from their big competitor LAKSON TOBACCO. Lakson Tobacco is

no 1 in the International Cigarette market but not yet in Pakistan. PTC think Lakson

Tobacco has the ability to compete us by providing their employees the best working

Environment and best Training and Development Programmes.

3. Threat of Inflation: Threat of inflation is also a big issue for the Training and

Development. Because when PTC send their Employees to abroad for Training purpose

so they have to bear high cost for this purpose.

INTERNAL FACTORS

35

36/40

The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their impact on

the organization's objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be

weaknesses for another objective. The factors may include all of the 4P's; as well as personnel,

finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on.

There are some internal factors which affect the PTCs Employees Training and Development.

These factors are mostly in the control of an Organization. Internal factors include the Strength

and Weaknesses of an Organization.

Strengths:

Attributes of the person or company that is helpful to achieving the objective. Internal positive

aspects that are under control and which you may capitalize in planning. The areas in which

PTC,s Employees are strong and capebale to compete in the todays market are,

1. PTC has Effective, skill full and Competitive Employees

2. PTC provide on going and UP-to- DATE Training to their Employees.

3. PTC provide best working environment to their Employees.

4. Friendly, cooperative and supportive staff. PTC treats its every employee equally.

BSO or MOM.

Weaknesses:

Attributes of the person or company that is harmful to achieving the objective. Internal

negative aspects that are under your control and that you may plan to improve The areas in

which PTC,s Emoployees are weak are,

1. Nepotism and favoritism are still there

2. Workload is high but staff strength is less

3. No such Quantitative tool is available to measure the performance of

Employees

4. Shared Offices system which some time divert the concentration of busy

individual

RECOMMENDATIONS

37

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

38/40

Every person or every Organization has its weak and strong areas. They compete through their

strong areas and try to cover the weak areas. As we can say that every problem has a solution.

The Recommendations that we suggest for the above weaknesses are,

1. It is very difficult for PTCs Management to fully control on Nepotism and

favoritism. But they can minimize it by focusing only on merit. By doing so they will

have a quality of employees.

2. PTC downsized thousands of its employees in last 3 to 4 years. Now they

have only 783 employees in its different department. And these employees manage the

work of all downsized employees which is a huge burden on them. They have to recruit

some skilled and efficient candidate to divide the work burden with them.

3. PTCs Management has not such a Quantitative tool to measure the

performance of its employees accurately. They have to define their quantitative tools for

measurement because by this they can also control to some extent on favoritism and will

able to promote an able employee.

4. Shared Offices system which some time divert the concentration of busy

individual. PTC has to look and think about this problem. Some individuals feel

hesitation in combine office system. They have to make separate offices to their

Employees, or make one office for two persons. By this they can do their work with high

concentration and with out any disturbance like in fish market and also they can keep

their privacy.

5. It's cost-effective to use your own staff talent to provide career development

opportunities within Organization. PTC mostly gives Training and Development to their

38

8/6/2019 HRM_PTC

39/40

employees through external sources. For example they sent their employees out of city or

out of country. This is very costly for PTC. So they must have their own talent inside the

Organization to Train and developed their employees internally.

Second disadvantage of using outside training specialists is their limited knowledge of

the company's product or service and customer needs. These trainers have a more general

knowledge of customer satisfaction and needs.
