grasping power at work. This will in turn enable them to increase their
capability at doing work.

of doing the work”.
3. On Communication of Employees –
Finance and Marketing Departments at Raymond Ltd. need to upgrade

purpose, but also for the better understanding of the job. Sometimes
employees will be capable of performing the job, but if it is not
communicated to them properly, there might be inefficiency.
Recommend Corporate Communication Team to give seminars.
Alliance Business Academy
Change Management
4. On Attitudes of Employees –
H.R and Finance Departments at Raymond Ltd. need to adjust their
attitude to benefit their work. Attitude towards work and work place
might get monotonous and boring if there are no entertainment
activities.
Recommend to have “team outings”, and a gathering once a month to
bring out the creativity in the employees.
5. On Behaviors of Employees –
Finance and H.R Departments at Raymond show significant lag in the
behavior required to boost the inter-departmental relationships.
Recommend “body language” education, etiquettes and self

6. On Organizational Level Change –
There are minor changes required in the “Integration of Various
Departments”.
Recommend activities that strengthen the inter-departmental bond.
There are major changes required in the “Hierarchy Adjustment” and
“Process Refinement”.
Hierarchy must be adjusted so that it benefits the functioning of the

D.G.M. Even the D.G.M reports directly to the M.D. Recommend re-
structuring and to adopt Lean Processes which refines the process.

Recommend a Strong Induction Program for a new employee. And for
existing employees, involving them in a “team game” will boost their

Recommend a constructive way of performance appraisal. In which,
the H.R team must make it evident to the employee that his
performance can be way better if he contributes a little more.
Whole new training has to be given for the betterment of “Work
Understanding”
Recommend the superiors to elaborate clearly on the work that is
intended to be done. This clears the ambiguity and will enable the
employee to understand work in a better manner.

5.3 Conclusions-
Raymond, a heritage company must support its employees to educate
themselves on the changes happening in the market place. Suitable
software and databases must be made available.
The H.R team at Raymond must have a “soft copy” of the employee policy
as it can be circulated to all the employees easily.
Raymond Ltd. promotes talent. The H.R team believes only on promotion
through performance.
Raymond Ltd. must encourage ideas from younger generation. Since
1925, the times have changed. In order to maximize the profit, more and
more youngsters must be encouraged to voice their opinion.
