    PREFACE

    The MBA program is a well structured and integrated course of business studies. The main

    objective of practical training at MBA level is to develop skill in student by supplement to

    the theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training helps to gain real

    life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices. The MBA program

    provides student with a fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and

    activities, as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of management. In every professional

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    5/84

    course, training is an important factor. It is only the training through which I came to know

    that what an industry is and how it works. I can learn about various departmental operations

    being performed in the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future when I will

    enter the practical field. Training is an integral part of MBA, each and every student has to

    undergo the training for 2 months in a company and then prepare a project report after the

    completion of training. During this whole training I got a lot of experience and came to know

    about the management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical

    knowledge and the practically in the real life. In todays globalize world, where cutthroat

    competition is prevailing in the market, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this

    everyone need to have practical knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier

    activities and it is true that Experience is best teacher.

    EXECUTIVESUMMARY

    Since the beginning of the survey I used the three tier system to evaluate the topic

    which is covered by me, i.e. effective marketing through better H R policy.

    A-students community,

    B-training classes

    C-Colleges

    While interacting with the students I came across so many issues related to their life which

    could affect the performance of individual during his/her tenure, And when I was discussing

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    6/84

    the issues with training classes I came know, better method how to deal with the issues

    through innovative HR methods.

    At the same time when I was discussing the issue with the college authorities about

    the issues related with the marketing I came to know that some of the students are already

    involved in the different marketing activity.

    The students are energetic and creative the only thing which they need is the motivation and

    direction. I was given the target to collect the data of 700 students which was very difficult

    practically if not possible. I always went to the students at their place where they normally

    gather to share their issues like, classes, canteen and other eateries.

    The second part comes after the Company Profile is to define the objective of

    the Research because the entire thing depends upon the Objectives of the Study. Later on the

    other important part comes that is development of Hypothesis.

    After that the Literature reviews of the Quality Circle and significance of

    Total Quality Management because Quality Circle is a part of Total Quality Management.

    As per the sequence now the Research Methodology comes, Research Methodology is totally

    depends upon the survey. So firstly I have interacted with each and every staff member. After

    that the survey starts, this is based upon the filing of questionnaires. Questionnaires are as

    follows with the Personal Interviews. After that the important, The issues which are on the

    top priority for the students for their career are-

    Safety,

    Security,

    Dignity,

    Status,

    Money,

    Job satisfaction,

    And the most important is peace of mind.

    Students are open to discuss their personnel as well professional issues now, they feel that it

    is better to discuss these things who understand them.

    The main objective of O.J.T is to learn some of the new practical knowledge

    and whatever the things, we studied before we can apply in to corporate field.

    The target which is given by the organization (ICA Shine) bases on that I can imply

    On the job training is nothing but real test of corporate life and objective behind this is

    to get an experience of corporate culture or system. As we know when we do any work it has

    some direct or indirect objectives. During this internship program, I have also some

    objectives that help me to understand the practical knowledge about our theoretical concepts.

    So I have mentioned here my objectives towards OJT in ICA Shine Campus Program

    12/84

    As we know the OJT has the same importance as compare to the project report.

    On the job is nothing but to learn the practical aspects of corporate life, it is test of ever

    demanding, ultra-competitive corporate world.

    It is also very important stage of every students life, no doubt it is not easy task

    for us but it helps us to get practical As far as my O.J.T. is concern the target which is given

    to me isOJT (On The Job Training) is Basically There is one questionnaire and on the

    bases of that I have to do a survey.

    Since I joined the company I have started moving in the market and started filling up the

    questionnaire contacting different educational institutes

    l. aspects of the educational field.

    I am sharing my work experience. I am in marketing and HR Policy. In,

    marketing

    department we are visited classes, colleges, and personally interacted with the students and

    in different different areas for awaring of ICA Shine and try to selling forms and I handled

    administrative department in the office to maintain office. And our main branch in

    Hyderabad, all the branches activities control by there.

    There is one common target for all employees of contact with the classes,

    colleges, institute and direct interact with the students and tie up for the selling forms.

    2.3 Strategy

    To achieve goal successfully one should develop strategy. To achieve my

    target it should necessary to get training. I already got training.

    A strategy which I made or adopt to achieve my target is

    As per my plan and companies suggestion firstly I got one chart of Ahmedabad

    city and as per that chart I find different areas in which different educational institute

    located. So as per above description I found out a particular area and than secondly I went at

    that particular area and at there I have to found out educational institute and after that I have

    to take an appointment (if required) or I went and meet a receptions or any responsible

    person or a head of a company and collect the information regarding the survey of above

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    13/84

    subject as per the questionnaire and try to achieve the target which is given to me by the

    company.

    Detail description about survey: The survey is about the preference and parameters

    through better HR policy.

    Part One:

    1) I have to find out Areas, Classes, colleges, bookstalls where more students are visited

    and which is helpful me for achievement of my targets.

    2) Then I visited classes, institute, book stalls and meet their owners and try to convince them

    to tie up for selling forms or data collections.

    Part Two:

    1) I have to collected the name of the students, their references, preferences to go in

    which field and why.

    2) I tried to convince classess owners for putting our brouchers, presentations, and

    sell our forms.

    To achieve a goal successfully, one needs to sketch a perfect road map or adopt a

    strategy to the destination and also need to follow the path strictly. The strategies applied to

    achieve the above mentioned targets are as follows.

    Direct customer contact.

    Telephonic calling.

    Through references given by the organization.

    Through natural market i.e. friends, relatives and the other

    References etc.

    2.4-Purpose of Questionnaire

    1) I have to find out that a particular reason on what basis student is going

    to decide about B school..

    2) What is main reason and what priority is given to each of the parameters

    given in questionnaire?

    3) What type of facilities they are looking for?

    4) How many of them have ever seen any B school?

    5) Why a particular B school is preferred compare to other?

    Part two:

    1) I have to find out that a particular institute/B school is providing the chance to

    select stream/elective (HR) which student is looking for? If not than what he /she

    will decide?

    2) which B school is ranked better in HR, how to compare the HR of one B

    school with other schools HR- as a elective?

    3) How many number of students have been approximately trained by that B

    schoo 4) How much money they are ready to invest for the entrance exams?

    Process of Admission Form

    Request for required Stock (monthly)

    Receipt of forms

    Placed forms at different places and branch

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    15/84

    Students counseling, follow up and presentation

    Filling up acknowledgement slip and amount collected from students

    Data Entry

    Collected Amount of forms sent to HQSubmissions

    Releasing of Admit Cards

    2.5 Achievement

    From the date of joining till today I have been able to contact 5 institutes and

    250 students and the response till I have received is excellent.

    When I went for survey there were some institutes who were very happy and

    excited with this type of work they even asked me about my background and some of

    them even extended their full co operation and support off the record.

    As I mention the earlier, detailed target and task to set my own target to selling 5

    forms per day, for that I applied some strategy and I succeed My company guide gave me

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    16/84

    target for the OJT programmed and I achieved more than the target, and it reached up to 4

    forms per day that When my department got target to complete the backlog and no pending

    work left from head of the marketing department and marketing team break the record, I have

    collect 250 data in a day.

    My senior gave me appreciation for giving consistence performance. It feels good to

    be appreciated and also motivated to give better and best performance to achieve goal.

    2.6 Limitation

    If I consider each and every limitation under this point than

    I havent any vehicle over here so as far as marketing is concern I have to face convenience

    problem.

    I have to spend round about 100 to 125 Rs. For traveling for survey.

    More over it is very tough to go outside in this heat.

    I covered most of the areas of the city so now it is tough to find out more

    institutes And because of that it is hard to achieve my target to meet more and more students.

    Every coin has two sides that mean no one is perfect in this world. I also face some

    limitations like Survey Problems. It is one of the big limitations, which is not only faced by

    me but whole company faced it. Some time it decrease the level of motivation and efficiency

    to complete the work, and time limitation is another limitation to understand the whole

    department.

    2.7 Conclusion

    At the end of this O.J.T. I came to the conclusion that I done a survey and collect all

    the information from all different institutes and more students it will be very easy for the

    organization ICA Shine to understand why and on what basis they are selecting the B school

    and how to improve and do better I future.

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    17/84

    The main benefit of this survey for the organization will be as this was done by me

    as a student, they (ICA Shine) people were not in to the picture they are going to get the

    genuine feedback of the market.

    It is also very important stage of every students life, no doubt it is not easy task for

    us but it helps us to get practical aspects of the corporate, for that we need training. To

    achieve target or complete task successfully I followed some strategy and get succeed. This is

    wonderful experience of my life, I learn a lot of things that helpful me in future when I really

    entered in corporate life not only there but in real life.

    Chapter 3

    EFFECTIVE MARKETING SALES THROUGH BETTER HR POLICY

    Marketing:

    Economic concepts such as market efficiency, competition, externalities, public versus

    private goods, and Pareto optimality are essential to a rigorous understanding of business

    functioning. A strong background in the discipline can aid managers in understanding not

    just corporate performance, but also offer substantial insight into such complex- yet business-

    relevant- global issues as immigration and climate change. The Aspen Institutes Beyond

    Grey Pinstripes data reveal a good number of MBA classes that integrate social and

    environmental themes into core and elective Economic coursework with both a macro and

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    18/84

    micro focus. This Closer Look edition shares teaching ideas and materials that broach this

    pedagogical intersection.

    Regularly sensationalized in the media and politicized in public debate, the topic of

    immigration often eludes judicious contemplation and rarely evokes the sheer empathy that is

    essential for fully reflecting upon implications of this human drama.

    While our Beyond Grey Pinstripes database indicates that many MBA courses

    emphasize diversity and cross-cultural management, it seems that immigration remains a

    topic largely outside the mainstream in business school programs today. This white paper

    highlights links between business decision-making and immigration and contemplates the

    relevance of immigration to management education.

    MARKETING

    INTRODUCTION

    In recent years, attention to social and environmental issues in

    product marketing has become a mainstream practice and offers

    opportunities for firms to differentiate themselves in the market. Popular

    examples abound: organic produce, hybrid cars, and fair trade coffee, to

    name just a few. While business coursework is quickly following practice

    in the field, our data show that a critical examination of the social impact

    of marketing is limited in some instances to issues of legality and ethics.When ethical concerns are raised, they are commonly discussed in the

    context of avoiding harmful marketing practices, especially prohibitive

    product pricing and deceptive advertising.

    On the other hand, international marketing classes do a good job of

    discussing socio-cultural considerations in the analysis of new target

    markets. It is noteworthy that a handful of MBA programs offer courses

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    19/84

    specifically addressing social marketing; that is, using concepts from

    commercial marketing, such as the traditional four Ps marketing mix

    (i.e., Product, Place, Promotion, and Pricing), to bring about social change.

    Also, academic research has highlighted the use of, and further potential

    for, social marketing for environmental causes.1 A few of these forward-

    looking strategic marketing courses are highlighted in the notable

    coursework section below.

    THE BOTTOM LINE:

    According to Dr. Bruce Hutton, several years ago topics related to the

    environment and social issues were considered add-ons and were

    included at the end of marketing texts. Now, these issues are better

    integrated throughout such texts.

    There are many social impact management topics in marketing that areworthy of inclusion into coursework. Examples include the impacts of

    product development, design, and pricing decisions on consumers and

    business sustainability, as well as the impacts of niche marketing on

    both target markets and sustainable competitive corporate strategy.

    A performance evaluation completed during the performance

    cycle to document and assess an employees progress toward

    achieving the performance plan. If agencies desire to use a form

    for this purpose, they may use the form provided with this policy

    (Attachment D) or develop their own forms. Interim

    Performance Evaluations are not considered official

    documents and are retained in the supervisors confidential file

    for use in constructing the annual performance evaluation.

    Notice of

    Improvement

    Needed/Substandard

    Performance Form

    A form completed by the immediate supervisor during the

    performance cycle to document substandard performance and

    departmental objective is assessed. Performance measuresdescribe major duties, assignments and objectives in terms of

    complexity, accountability and results, and should be specific,

    measurable, attainable and relevant. These measures are

    referred to on the Employee Work Profile as Measures for Core

    Responsibilities, Measures for Special Assignments and

    Measures for Agency/Departmental Objectives.

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    27/84

    Performance Plan The key portion of the evaluation instrument that identifies the

    to indicate required achievement levels during and at the end of

    the performance cycle.

    Probationary

    Progress

    Review Form

    The evaluation form completed by the immediate supervisor to

    rate an employees performance during the probationary period.

    (See) Agencies may use the form provided with Policy 1.45 or

    develop their own form.

    Reviewer The supervisor of an employees immediate supervisor, or

    another person designated to review an employees work

    description, performance plan, performance rating and who

    responds to appeals of performance ratings.

    Sub-agency or

    Sub-Unit

    A designation an agency may use to sub-divide into smaller

    organizational units to facilitate oversight of the performance

    management process and the fair (equitable) distribution of

    performance increases and funding within an agency. This will

    normally occur at a level where the responsible manager

    exercises full authority over both personnel and budget

    management.

    The use of sub-agencies or sub-units must be defined and

    justified in the agencys Salary Administrative Plan.

    PERFORMANCE PLANS

    Supervisors develop employees performance plans according to instructions on the

    Employee Work Profile (EWP) form (or agency form). The plans are signed by the

    supervisor and then forwarded to the reviewer for approval. Reviewers should ensure

    that performance plans are appropriate before signing the forms.

    Following the reviewers approval, performance plans are presented to employees for

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    28/84

    their signatures.

    Changes to the

    Performance PlanDuring the

    Performance Cycle

    Changes to the performance plan during the performance cycle

    generally would be used for additional special assignments ormodifications to special assignments. If, however, it is necessary

    to change one or more of the Core Responsibilities, the reviewer

    must approve the change(s). The performance plan is not

    intended to fully describe the tools or methods used to

    accomplish work; these may change without requiring a plan

    revision. If core responsibilities include project-based

    assignments, supervisors may develop a core responsibility

    statement indicating the general nature of the projects, and a

    measure noting that the project is completed in accordance with

    the objectives, standards, and timelines established and

    communicated at the time of assignment.

    All changes to the performance plan should be noted on the

    official form and initialed and dated by the supervisor, reviewer,

    and employee. If it is necessary to add additional pages, each

    page should be initialed and dated by the supervisor, reviewer,

    and employee and the page(s) attached to the original form.

    Changes that should be noted on the official form include

    assignments performed for more than 30 workdays while on

    light duty status or in an acting status.

    DOCUMENTATION DURING THE PERFORMANCE CYCLE

    Supervisors should document employees performance and provide feedback to them

    periodically throughout the performance cycle. Documentation may be in the form of

    notes, memos, etc., and must be retained in supervisors confidential files, rather than in

    employees official personnel files.

    Feedback Feedback provided during the cycle may be informal or formal.

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    29/84

    Informal feedback is encouraged, but there may be times when

    formal feedback is more appropriate. Formal feedback should be

    documented through memos or interim evaluations. Employees

    should receive copies of formal feedback documentation and the

    documentation (including interim evaluations) should be

    retained in the supervisors confidential files for use in

    completing the annual evaluation.

    Interim Evaluations Non-probationary employees should receive interim evaluations

    near the middle of the performance cycle. Agencies may use the

    Interim Evaluation Form (Attachment D), develop their own

    forms, or use copies of employees' EWP forms (Attachment B)

    for the interim evaluations. Any form that is used should be

    clearly marked as Interim. The reviewers signature is optional

    on interim evaluations.

    Interim evaluations also may be conducted at any time during

    the performance cycle for both probationary and non-

    probationary employees to advise an employee of his or her

    progress toward meeting performance measures or to document

    performance problems.Interim evaluations should be maintained

    in supervisors documentation files to be used when the annual

    evaluation is completed.

    Probationary Employees

    Probationary employees should receive formal performance

    reviews at the 6-month point and approximately three weeks

    prior to the completion of their probationary periods.

    Supervisors also should provide structured feedback to

    probationary employees periodically during their Probationary

    Periods. This can be done by completing the Probationary

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    30/84

    Progress Review form or other documentation, at the agencys

    discretion, at 3 months and again at 9 months or as the agency

    determines appropriate. (See Policy 1.45, Probationary Period.)Extraordinary

    Performance During

    the Cycle

    Supervisors are encouraged to recognize incidents of employee

    performance that truly are extraordinary. A supervisor should

    document incidents of extraordinary performance on the

    Acknowledgement of Extraordinary Contribution form (or

    agency-developed form). The form must be signed by the

    supervisor and reviewer, given to the employee, and a copy

    retained in the supervisors confidential file until the annual

    performance evaluation is completed. If the employee receives

    an overall annual evaluation of Extraordinary Contributor, the

    form must be attached to the annual evaluation form to support

    the rating. Otherwise, the form is retained in the supervisors

    file as described in the Retention of Performance Forms section

    of this policy.

    In order for an employee to receive an overall Extraordinary

    Contributor rating on the annual performance evaluation, the

    employee must receive at least one Acknowledgement of

    Extraordinary Contribution form(s) and perform consistently

    well above the core responsibilities and measures throughout the

    performance cycle. Extraordinary contribution(s) should be

    documented on the Acknowledgement form and discussed as

    close to the time of occurrence as possible.

    NOTE: The receipt of one or more Acknowledgement of

    Extraordinary Contribution form does not automatically entitle

    an employee to an overall annual rating of Extraordinary

    Contributor.

    Identifying

    Substandard

    Performance

    Supervisors should immediately identify poor, substandard, or

    unacceptable performance. Supervisors normally should address

    first-time minor or marginal performance issues through

    performance counseling and coaching.

    An employee may receive a Notice of Improvement Needed/

    Substandard Performance form at any time during the

    performance cycle if the employee exhibits substandard

    performance on any core responsibility, special assignment,

    agency or unit objective, or core value or core competency.

    If an employee's performance level falls below Contributor

    level, a Notice of Improvement Needed/Substandard

    Performance form (or agency-developed form) may be issued at

    any time. Reviewers must approve and sign such Notices.

    Receipt of a Notice of Improvement Needed/Substandard

    Performance form also may result in issuance of a WrittenNotice underPolicy 1.60, Standards of Conduct.

    Improvement Plan

    The Notice of Improvement Needed/Substandard Performance

    form must include an improvement plan, which should have an

    improvement period of no less than 30 days or more than 180

    days. The improvement plan shall be developed by the

    supervisor and the employee. If agreement cannot be reached,

    the supervisor may establish the improvement plan. The plan

    should be included on the form or attached to it. Employees

    should be given a copy of the Notice and plan. When the annual

    evaluation is completed, the Notice and plan must be attached to

    the Evaluation Form if the overall evaluation reflects a rating of

    http://www.dhrm.state.va.us/hrpolicy/web/pol1_60.htmlhttp://www.dhrm.state.va.us/hrpolicy/web/pol1_60.html
  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    32/84

    Below Contributor. Otherwise, the form is retained in the

    supervisors file as described in the Retention of Performance

    Forms section of this policy. Substandard performance on the

    improvement plan also may result in disciplinary action under

    the Standards of Conduct. (See Policy 1.60, Standards of

    Conduct.)

    Effective July 10,

    2007

    Effect of Noticeof Improvement

    Needed and/or

    Written Notice forms

    on Annual

    Performance

    Evaluation

    An employee cannot be rated Below Contributor on the annual

    evaluation unless he/she has received:

    At least one Notice of Improvement Needed/SubstandardPerformance form; OR

    A Written Notice for any reason as defined in Policy

    1.60, Standards of Conduct.

    Receipt of a Notice of Improvement Needed/Substandard

    Performance form or a Written Notice does not require that an

    employee be rated Below Contributor. Rather, it allows aBelow Contributor rating if the employees overall

    performance reasonably supports a Below Contributor rating.

    NOTE: If a Written Notice is used in place of a Notice

    of Improvement Needed/Substandard Performance

    Form to support a rating of Below Contributor, and the

    notice is subsequently removed pursuant to the

    Grievance Procedure the Performance Evaluation must

    be modified accordingly.

    33/84

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    34/84

    cycle. Evaluations of performance during each portion of the

    cycle should be consolidated to an overall rating and

    documented on the form that is in effect at the end of the cycle.Gathering

    Information

    Supervisors should identify all the potential sources of

    evaluation information including observable employee

    behaviors. In addition to the observations of the immediate

    supervisor, performance evaluation information can come from

    other sources, including the employee, peers, customers,

    subordinates, supervisors, and work products. If agencies use

    performance information from individuals other than the

    employees immediate supervisor to develop the employees

    annual evaluation, employees should be informed of the

    potential sources at the beginning of the performance cycle,

    when they receive their performance plans.

    Self-Evaluation Each employee must be afforded an opportunity to provide the

    supervisor with a self-assessment of his or her job performance

    for the rating period. The employee should be asked to provide a

    self-evaluation at least two weeks prior to the evaluation

    meeting. A supervisor must review and consider the self-

    assessment when completing each employees performance

    evaluation.

    Subordinate

    Feedback

    to the Reviewer

    Upward feedback regarding supervisors performance is part of

    the performance process. Agencies must move toward including

    a process for employees to provide feedback to reviewers

    regarding their supervisors performance.

    Initially, such feedback is to be used as a developmental tool to

    help supervisors improve their supervisory skills. As agencies

    become more experienced interpreting and administering such

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    35/84

    tools, the results may be used for evaluative purposes.

    Safeguards should be established to facilitate anonymity of the

    employees providing feedback. (Refer to the Human Resource

    Management Manual for additional information on upward

    feedback.)

    Team Evaluations If the agency evaluates an employee based upon the employees

    performance as a team member, each individual team members

    supervisor is responsible for conducting the evaluation of that

    employees performance throughout the cycle. Performance

    feedback from others (other supervisors or managers, customers

    and the employees peers) may be considered as determined by

    the supervisor and/or reviewer.

    Reviewers Role The reviewer must review the performance plan and

    performance evaluation sections of the evaluation form before

    they are presented to the employee. If the reviewer does not

    agree with the evaluation, the reviewer should discuss the

    disagreements with the supervisor. The reviewer has the

    authority to change the employees evaluation. In addition,

    agencies may determine if higher levels of management may

    change the evaluation. This decision should be documented in

    the agencys Salary Administration Plan.

    If the reviewer is unable to review either section of an

    employees evaluation form, the next higher level of

    management should conduct the review.

    PERFORMANCE INCREASES

    Agencies may not supplement the funding provided by the General Assembly and

    Governor for employees performance increases. Agencies with non-general fund

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    36/84

    sources will be guided by the amount authorized for performance increases by the

    General Assembly and the Governor.

    Sub-Agencies or

    Sub-Units

    Agencies may decide to sub-divide the agency into smaller

    organizational units than the entire agency to facilitate oversight

    of the performance management process.

    Sub-agencies or sub-units may include:

    any organizational unit within an agency which has a

    separate Agency Code;

    any major organizational unit that can be characterized asa distinct management accountability center, such as

    separate facilities within an agency, or colleges or

    divisions within a university; or

    large groups of employees sharing the same career

    group(s) within an agency, such as corrections officers.

    The use of sub-agencies or sub-units is optional, but if agenciesdecide to use such designations, the use of sub-agencies or sub-

    units must be defined and justified in agencies Salary

    Administration Plans.

    Formula The average increase for employees will be the same across all

    agencies and within any sub-agencies or sub-units that are used

    for distribution of performance increases.

    Contributors must receive at least 80% of the statewide average

    increase, but cannot receive an amount that exceeds the

    statewide average increase. The actual increase may vary from

    one agency, sub-agency or sub-unit to another based on the

    formula used within these limits and the number of employees

    rated Contributor.

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    37/84

    Extraordinary Contributors must receive no more than 250% of

    the statewide average increase. The actual increase may vary

    from one agency, sub-agency or sub-unit to another based on the

    formula used within these limits and the number of employees

    rated Contributor.

    All Contributors in an agency (or sub-agency or sub-unit) must

    receive the same percentage increase.

    All Extraordinary Contributors in an agency (or sub-agency or

    sub-unit) must receive the same percentage increase.

    To assist agencies with the application of the formula,

    Attachment F provides an explanation and examples.

    Employees at or near

    the Pay Band

    Maximum

    Employees at or near the top of their Pay Band are eligible to

    receive performance increases based on their overall evaluations.

    The increase will be applied to employees base salary but any

    amount in excess of the Pay Band maximum will be awarded as

    a Lump Sum payment, and will not be added to base pay.

    Impact of Transfers

    or Other Pay

    Practices

    Depending on their performance ratings, employees who

    experienced changes in salary during the performance cycle

    (because of promotions, demotions, transfers, or the application

    of other pay practices) will be eligible to receive the same

    percentage performance increase as other agency employees

    who did not experience salary changes during the cycle.

    Schedule Performance evaluations should be carried out according to the

    following schedule.

    Employees who have completed a full 12-month perform ance

    cycle (October 25 through the next October 24) (or who almost

    have completed in accordance with the chart on page 11), must

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    38/84

    have performance evaluations completed by October 24, but not

    before August 10.

    Probationary

    Employees

    Employees who are hired or re-hired between October 25

    and July 24, must have their performance evaluations

    completed between August 10 and October 24.

    Agencies may choose to complete performance

    evaluations on employees hired or re-hired between July

    25 and October 24. (See.) Employees who still are in their probationary periods

    during the time performance evaluations are completed

    will be evaluated on the Probationary Progress Review

    form or agency-developed form. (See Policy 1.45,

    Probationary Period.) However, agencies may choose to

    use the EWP (or agency form) to evaluate the

    performance of these employees.

    Forms used to support any performance increase will be

    retained in the employees official personnel file.

    Employees overall performance must be rated at the

    Contributor level or above to receive a performance

    increase.

    Probationary employees will be eligible to receive performance

    increases on the performance increase effective date as indicated

    below:

    Probationary Period

    The performance increase of an employee who is serving a new

    probationary period due to position requirements (see Policy

    1.45) will not be pro-rated according to the chart for newly hired

    probationary employees.

    Employees Who

    Have Been Absent

    During the Cycle

    Supervisors may consider the length of time that employees

    perform in their jobs during the performance cycle, along with

    how well they perform, in arriving at employees overall ratings.

    Agencies may determine if absences for a significant portion of

    the year will influence the increase amount for which employees

    will be eligible. If agencies decide to impact employees

    increases due to absences, they should document this practice in

    their Salary Administration Plans. The chart below may be

    used. Exception: The following types of leave taken must not

    be used to negatively impact the employees overall

    performance rating: overtime, compensatory, on-call, Workers

    Compensation, military, Family and Medical Leave, Short-term

    Disability, and Long-term Disability-Working status under the

    VSDP program.

    If an employee disagrees with an evaluation and cannot resolve the disagreement with

    the supervisor, the employee may appeal to the reviewer for another review of the

    evaluation.

    Agencies may develop their own appeals process for reconsideration of employee

    evaluations. The appeals process should be documented within the Agency Salary

    Administration Plan.

    Any appeal process must provide for the appeal to be made in writing to the reviewer

    within 10 workdays of the initial performance meeting.

    RE-EVALUATION

    An employee who receives a rating of "Below Contributor must be re-evaluated and

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    41/84

    have a performance re-evaluation plan developed, as outlined below.

    Re-Evaluation Plan Within 10 workdays of the evaluation meeting during which the

    employee received the annual rating, the employee's supervisor

    must develop a performance re-evaluation plan that sets forth

    performance measures for the following three (3) months, and

    have it approved by the reviewer.

    Even if the employee is in the process of appealing his or

    her evaluation, the performance plan must be developed.

    The supervisor should develop an entire performance plan

    including, Employee Development.

    If the Core Responsibilities and measures of the original

    performance plan are appropriate, this information should

    be transferred to a separate evaluation form, which will

    be used for re-evaluation purposes. The form should

    clearly indicate that it is a re-evaluation.

    The supervisor must discuss with the employee specific

    recommendations for meeting the minimum performance

    measures contained in the re-evaluation plan during the

    re-evaluation period.

    NOTE: Regardless of the employees movement to another

    position during this re-evaluation period, the employee will not

    be eligible for a performance increase.

    Three (3)-Month Re-

    Evaluation

    The employee must be re-evaluated within approximately two

    weeks prior to the end of the three (3)-month period. If an

    employee is absent for more than 14 consecutive days during the

    three (3)-month re-evaluation period, the period will be extended

    by the total number of days of absence, including the first 14

    days.

    If Performance Does

    Not Improve

    If the employee receives a re-evaluation rating of Below

    Contributor, the supervisor shall demote, reassign, or terminate

    the employee by the end of the three (3)-month re-evaluation

    period.

    Demote or Reassign An employee whose performance during the re-evaluation

    period is documented as not improving, may be demoted within

    the three (3)-month period to a position in a lower Pay Band or

    reassigned to another position in the same Pay Band that has

    lower level duties if the agency identifies another position that is

    more suitable for the employees performance level. A demotion

    or reassignment to another position will end the re-evaluation

    period.

    When an employee is moved to another position with lower

    duties due to unsatisfactory performance during, or at the end of

    the re-evaluation period, the action is considered a Performance

    Demotion and the agency must reduce the employees salary at

    least 5%. (See.)

    Reduce Duties As an alternative, the agency may allow the employee who is

    unable to achieve satisfactory performance during the re-

    evaluation period to remain in his or her position, and reduce the

    employees duties. Such a reduction should occur and based on

    the re-evaluation and must be accompanied by a concurrent

    salary reduction of at least 5%. (See).Terminate If the agency determines that there are no alternatives to demote,

    reassign, or reduce the employees of duties, termination based

    on the unsatisfactory re-evaluation is the proper action. The

    employee who receives an unsatisfactory re-evaluation will be

    terminated at the end of the three (3)-month re-evaluation

    period.

    Disciplinary Action The re-evaluation process does not prevent the agency from

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    43/84

    taking disciplinary action based on the employees poor

    performance or other reasons stipulated in, or issuing additional

    Improvement Needed/Substandard Performance forms.

    LITRATURE REVIEW

    CHAPTER-5

    QUALITY CIRCLE

    What is a Quality Circle?

    A Quality Circle (QC) is a small, voluntary group of employees and their supervisor(s),

    comprising a team of about 8 to 10 members from the same work area or department group

    of staff that meets regularly to solve problems relating to their job scope or workplace. QC

    works on the basis of a continuous and on-going process in an organization. Normally

    members of a particular QC come from the same workshop who face and share similar

    problems in their daily work life. Ideally, the group size should be seven or eight to give

    enough time to each member to actively participate and contribute in each meeting

    QC gives employees greater satisfaction and motivation Quality

    circles were first developed in the 1960s by a man named Kaoru Ishikawa in Japan. The

    Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) were the ones who paid for the research

  • 8/7/2019 Smgi Report of Dipti

    64/84

    that put the theories about behavior science and quality control together. Quality circles are

    useful because the members of the team are from the same workplace and face similar

    problems. This concept is a management tool that has many benefits for their own work

    environment. Some examples of those b
