every sample of concrete passes through stringent tests in fresh and hardened state to
ensure
strength, durability and performance.
How does UltraTech Concrete make good concrete better?
Right from selecting the raw materials to batching and mixing, transportation, placing of
concrete
till testing of concrete — UltraTech ensures flawless operation in every stage. Clearly, it's
all about
putting together the right ingredients for that perfect recipe.
Cement
Fresh cement, protected from weathering conditions and influence of external
environment such as
air, moisture etc., is an important ingredient of concrete. UltraTech Concrete plant uses
fresh
cement directly procured from the cement plants through cement bulkers, which in turn
pump it
directly into the concrete silos thus protecting it from the external environment.
Coarse aggregates
Coarse aggregates — free from clay, weeds and other organic materials, cubical or
rounded with a
combination of different sizes and not elongated or flaky — ensure proper strength of the
concrete
and make it non-porous. These coarse aggregates are a vital ingredient of good concrete.
UltraTech
Concrete directly sources the aggregates from selected and approved suppliers, tested as
per BIS
for size, shape, gradation, impact value and crushing value etc.
Fine aggregate
Sand, the fine aggregate used in concrete must be free from silt, clay, salts and organic
materials to
prevent shrinkage cracks, which affect the concrete quality and durability.
UltraTech Concrete directly purchases sand from selected and approved suppliers tested
for
moisture content. To maintain the correct water-cement ratio, UltraTech Concrete plants
use
moisture sensors and an automatic water correction procedure.
Water
Potable water, free from impurities such as oil, alkalies, acids, salts, sugar, organic
materials is IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 11
ideal for concrete. UltraTech Concrete uses water tested at frequent intervals and uses
water
purifiers whenever necessary.
Admixture
Admixtures used in concrete during mixing ensures its workability (the ease of placing of
concrete
in moulds) and the setting time is carefully chosen from reputed companies. The
workability is
measured for every batch through the slump cone and is controlled using a scientific
method of
dosing. UltraTech Concrete is equipped with computerized batching and mixing plants to
strictly
monitor the quality of the concrete. It uses a computerized recipe for the raw mix design
(cement :
sand : coarse aggregate : water : admixture) and quantities of raw materials are weighed
automatically as per the design mix. The water-cement ratio, very important to satisfy the
strength
and durability criteria of concrete, is pre-designed through a scientific mix design as per
the BIS
standards and kept constant throughout to maintain the consistency in quality for a
particular mix.
Mixing is generally done through high efficiency pan mixers (machine mixers / turbo
mixer) to
ensure uniform and consistent quality concrete.
Transportation
The transport of concrete from its place of mixing to the delivery point is very critical, as
there is
possibility of the concrete drying out and losing its workability and plasticity.
UltraTech Concrete transports concrete from its ready mix concrete plants to the site
through
transit mixers. Further, the concrete is pumped to the actual point of concreting using
high
efficiency concrete pumps, thus maintaining the homogeneity of the concrete throughout
the transit
till the final deposition. Placing the concrete is expedited scientifically by specialized
delivery
trucks. Qualified and experienced engineers monitor the entire operation.

Introduction
HR PRACTICES
The success of any business depends as much on appropriate, effective, well-
communicated, HR
and business practices as it depends on meeting the requirements of mandated laws and
regulations. In fact, good planning and the development of effective practices make
regulatory
compliance much easier.
HR practices helps in increasing the productivity and quality, and to gain the competitive
advantage of a workforce strategically aligned with the organization’s goals and
objectives.
Some of the key performance indicators for Human Resources include but are not limited
to the
following.
• Prepare HR strategic Objectives and bring in clarity as to how the HR strategy supports
the
organizational strategy
• Develop KPI's for each of the strategic objectives.
• Track and measure performance
Human Resources Best Practices
The best practices in the management of human resources are the ones which optimize a
workforce
so that it can not only get work done, but also ensure a greater level of efficiency,
timeliness and
quality as it accomplishes increases productivity overall.
Hence the job of the best practices human resources firm is to make sure that these
benefits and
pay scales meet the company’s budget while remaining attractive and competitive enough
to pull
in the very best talent possible. We should know that these figures put the company in a
good light
while also presenting themselves as engaging and competitive for company’s recruitment
efforts.
OBJECTIVE OF HR PRACTICES:&
The main objective of HR Practices is to differentiate the organization from its
competitors by
effective and efficient HR Practices. By following this, the organization does its whole
work
process. The objective of HR Practices is to increase productivity and quality, and to gain
the
competitive advantage of a workforce strategically aligned with the organization’s goals
and
objectives.
As The Transparent HR practices can reduce attrition, Because-
Transparent HR practices ensure continuous business growth in every organization.
It gives the suitable working environment to the employees.
The success of company motivates the employees of organization to continue
relationship with
it. As all the employees Perks chart has been mentioned according to their designation in
the HR
practices, it helps the employees to know what their perks charts are. So it creates a
transparency.
IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 19
As we know the whole function of HR department depends upon the HR Practices of the
organization. The HR management is done according to the HR Practices of the
company. Which
things to be done and which things should not be done depend upon this only. It also
helps the
organization to achieve the target of the organization.
The HR policies of the organization have been mentioned in the HR Practices. All the
rules &
regulations for the employees have been also mentioned in this. All the welfare of the
employees’
processes is also mentioned in this.
So the study of the HR Practices means basically the brief study of all HR functions in
the
organization. I believe the HR Practices is a vital part of an organization, which helps the
organization to achieve the goal of the organization.
All companies are having their HR Practices but the company who is having the best, is
the most
successful company among its competitors. So the company can get success within its
competitors
by applying best, effective HR Practices.
management function that helps managers to recruit, select, train and develop members
for an
organization. Obviously HR is concerned with the people’s dimensions in organizations.
HR refers
to set of programs, functions, and activities designed and carried out.
The HR practices of Ultratech Cement Ltd (RMC Division) are as follows: IBSAR Navi

RECRUITME!T&
It is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirements of the
staffing
schedules and to employ the effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate
numbers
to facilitate effective selection of an efficient workforce.
Edwin B. Flippo has defined it as “ the process of searching for prospective employees
and
stimulating them to apply for jobs in the organization. “
OBJECTIVES of RECRUITME!T
• To attract people with multi-dimensional skills and experiences that suti the present and
future
organizational strategies,
• To infuse fresh blood at all levels of the organization,
• To develop an organisational culture that attracts competent people to the company,
• To search for talent globally and not just within the company,
• To design entry pay that competes on quality but not on quantum,
• To anticipate and find people for positions that do not exists yet.
PROCESS
• Finding out the requirement (hiring vs. exit), upcoming vacancies, kind of employees
needed.
• Developing suitable techniques to attract suitable candidates.
• Stimulating as many candidates as possible.
SOURCES of RECRUITME!T
Effectively, selection is 'buying' an employee (the price being the wage or salary
multiplied by
probable years of service) hence bad buys can be very expensive. For that reason some
firms (and
some firms for particular jobs) use external expert consultants for recruitment and
selection.
Equally some small organizations exist to 'head hunt', i.e. to attract staff with high
reputations from
existing employers to the recruiting employer. However, the 'cost' of poor selection is
such that,
even for the mundane day-to-day jobs, those who recruit and select should be well trained
to judge
the suitability of applicants.
Outsourcing is also done through consultancies by mentioning the requirement, number
and time.
Where the organization does its own printed advertising it is useful if it has some
identifying logo
as its trade mark for rapid attraction and it must take care not to offend the sex, race, etc.
antidiscrimination legislation either directly or indirectly. The form on which the
applicant is to
apply (personal appearance, letter of application, completion of a form) will vary
according to the
posts vacant and numbers to be recruited.
The recruitment process of UTCL Cement Ltd starts from the requirement of different
departments
as per to the org chart. Then they tell to the HR Department. HR Department takes the
candidates
IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)

from Data bank of company, Poornata etc, then does the short-listing, then does the
scheduling for
the interview. After this the selection and negotiation process occurs. Then offer letter is
been
given to the selected candidate. The employee then joins in the organization. Then the
company
arranges the Induction Program for the employee. After this the recruitment process ends
with this.

Most organizations focus on an annual evaluation process for employees and call that
Performance
Management. However, annual evaluations are often subjective and can lack specific
measurements and supportive data to help the employee truly improve their behavior.
Provide managers and employees with the tools necessary to focus on short-term and
long-term
goals that contribute to both career and organizational success. IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 28
Support the organization in developing and sustaining a culture that recognizes and
rewards
individual contributions and team performance.
Promote a work climate that requires employees to remain flexibly focused. For
instance,
employees can manage current tasks and unit goals while keeping pace with, and
adapting to,
change in the work environment.

In the month of April/May every year, after the annual planning and budgeting rounds,
all teams
identify their KRA’s and goals for the forthcoming financial year. This process occurs by
offline.
Then the employees fill their goal setting document in the Poornata system, listing the
KRA’s,
Goals, Measurement Criteria, Assigning Weightage and due date for completion of
specific goals
as already discussed offline.
Then they notify the same to their manager/immediate supervisor and await approval.
The manager recommends any changes if required or else approves the goals set in the
document.
The approval of the goals set by the managers completes the goal setting process.
The approved documents will be then available to the employees as well as their
managers for
the reference throughout the year. These documents can also be viewed by manager’s
manager
(Reviewer) for their indirect subordinates.
Mid year review of goals set at the beginning of the financial year held on the months of
October/November every year.
The mid year review generally initiated by the manager.
The main focus of the mid year review is to check if the goals set at the beginning of the
year are
relevant or if they need to be revised or updated.
The mid year review is also an opportunity for the manager and his team members to
identify
and discuss about any performance issues and initiate corrective action for the same.
The mid year review does not entail any ratings.
The annual performance reviews against goals set and achieved held during the months
of April-
May every year.
The employee completes his self-review /appraisal against goals set, online in the
Poornata
system and submits the same to his manager for review.
The manager then discuss the performance of the employee with him/her off-line, give
him
feedback on his performance and capture his own comments and performance ratings
against goals
and overall ratings in the manager’s evaluation form.
The manager also discusses the employee’s performance as well as rating with the
manager’s
manager (reviewer) and sends the document to the HR department for further processing.
Training Design&
The trainer – Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical,
interpersonal,
judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.
The trainees – A good training design requires close scrutiny of the trainees and their
profiles.
Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the important factors
that
affect training design.
Training climate – A good training climate comprises of ambience, tone, feelings,
positive
perception for training program, etc.
Trainees’ learning style – The learning style, age, experience, educational background of
trainees
must be kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the program.
Training strategies – Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer translates
it into
specific training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list of about what
must be
included, what could be included.
Training topics – After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be
delivered.
Trainers break the content into headings, topics and ad modules. These topics and
modules are
then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Training tactics – Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program becomes
clear,
trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methods or techniques.
The
method selection depends on the following factors: IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in
• Trainees’ background
• Time allocated
• Style preference of trainer

It is a holistic and systematic process, across the group. It is built on the work done so far
on
people processes, and has a Talent Identification and Talent Development Strategy for all
the 3
levels of management i.e. Senior, Middle & Junior Management. This is facilitated by
Development Assessment Center followed by Individual Development Plan, enabling
planned
succession and career management.
The talent management process includes HR process for
• Recruitment,
• Performance,
• Compensation,
• Succession planning,
• Learning and other capabilities around self-service,
• Analytics IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)

• Reporting.
With businesses going global and competition becoming intense, there is mounting
pressure on
organizations to deliver more and better than before. Organizations therefore need to be
able to
develop and deploy people who can articulate the passion and vision of the organization
and make
teams with the energy to perform at much higher levels.
Talent management is a key business process and like any business process takes inputs
and
generates output.
Talent management is a professional term that gained popularity in the late 1990s. It
refers to the
process of developing and fostering new workers through onboarding, developing and
keeping
current workers and attracting highly skilled workers to work for your company. Talent
management in this context does not refer to the management of entertainers.
Companies that are engaged in talent management (human capital management) are
strategic and
deliberate in how they source, attract, select, train, develop, promote, and move
employees through
the organization. This term also incorporates how companies drive performance at the
individual
level (performance management).
The term talent management means different things to different people.
• To some it is about the management of high-worth individuals or “the talented”.
• To others it is about how talent is managed generally - i.e. on the assumption that all
people have
talent which should be identified and liberated.
Talent management decisions are often driven by a set of organizational core
competencies as well
as position-specific competencies. The competency set may include knowledge, skills,
experience,
and personal traits (demonstrated through defined behaviors)
STEPS
(Process of Col lect ing Informat ion)
“Job Analysis is a process of studying and collecting information relating to operations
and
responsibilities of a specific job. The immediate products of this analysis are ‘Job
Description’ and
‘Job Specifications’.”
(Systemat ic Explorat ion of Act ivi t ies)
“Job Analysis is a systematic exploration of activities within a job. It is a basic technical
procedure
that is used to define duties and responsibilities and accountabilities of the job.”
( Ident i fying Job Requirements)
“Job is a collection of tasks that can be performed by a single employee to contribute to
the
production of some product or service, provided by the organization. Each job has
certain ability
requirements (as well as certain rewards) associated with it. Job Analysis is a process
used to
identify these requirements.”
Each job is a unique description of a role that a person can hold in an organization or
required to
be performed for the business benefit of that organization. When jobs are created, their
tasks and
requirements are taken into consideration.
Jobs are used in the following components:
• Job and Position Description
• Shift Planning
• Personnel Cost Planning
• Career and Succession Planning
Note:
Job descriptions should be as general as possible and as detailed as necessary.

IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 45
Once you have created a job, define the number of positions required the enterprise.
Jobs are not staffed by employees. That is the role of positions. If more than one person
must
perform jobs, more than one position must be created to meet this requirement.
A position inherits the job’s tasks, and can also be assigned its own additional tasks.
Positions can be 100% staffed, partially staffed, or vacant.
When we define a position as vacant, the system prompts us to define the period for
which the
position will be vacant There will be a central authority that will be designated to declare
vacancies and make them available for Recruitment (both internal and external).
Positions can
fall vacant due to reassignment or Separation as well. Such positions become unoccupied
and
not vacant. Vacancy is thus a declared feature for a position.
A chief position is a position designated as the leader of a particular organizational unit.
6. Organizational Structure
Using the basic object types – constructs of relationships is built to mirror the business
edifices and
processes. By assigning object characteristics, validations, requirements etc, we can
capture
complex organizational realities with relative ease.
Process Flow:
• Before creating all of the other necessary objects and relationships, the user must first
create a
root organizational unit. Once one organizational unit has been created, it is
recommended to
create the appropriate organizational units below it.
• Jobs may be created after an organizational unit exists in the model.
• You can assign cost centers to organizational units

• Details to where the positions need to be mapped.
• Position Details like Position Type, Position Sub Type, Department, and Sub

Every organization has its organizational structure. According to this every employee has
some
specific work. The work also depends upon their levels. As per their levels in different
departments
they will have to do their work.
In RMC business, there are different departments so as to organize the work efficiently
and
effectively. These are:
• HR
• Marketing
• Technical
• Commercial and Accounts
• IT
• Key Accounts
• CRM
• Quality
As for different departments different works has been specified for the different levels of
people. It
helps them to perform their work, which has been specified to him. For similar jobs also
the work
of the employees’ has been structured properly, to avoid the repetition of the work with
the other
employees. It helps in decrease the overlapping of the work. IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 48
To manage the different levels of work the employees have been separated in to different
designations and different depts. According to their area of specialization. The
designations which
have been given to the employees are based on the skills they have, grades, knowledge,
varying
experiences. These designations have been specified as per the standard HR Practices of
the
organizations, so as to make the organization different from other organizations.
In this way the organization stands in a better position than its competitors in the
competitive
business.

Poornata also helps the employees in this way, IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 51
Once the data of an employee entered in to Poornata (ERP), the employee gets a Poornata
ID,
which helps the employees to know about the different policies of Organization.
They can know these policies directly from the ERP system.
As it done only through Online, there is no delay in getting different infomations.
It also helps them to do the reporting to the concerned person.
They can also fill their problems which they face during their work and send to their
departments.
In this way Poornata helps not only the managers but the employees also.
Poornata (ERP) helps UTCL in the following ways
Poornata helps in performing day to day roles.
Introduction – Poornata helps in creating and updating of the positions of the employees.
Each position will correspond to specific vacancy in the organization, have a specific
headcount
defined for it and is also tied to the following specific attributes:
• Business unit
• Department
• Company
• Job code
• Location
• Regulatory Region
• Job Function
• Reporting to position (The position to which this particular position reports to)
• Career stages
Every time one or more of the above attributes change, the same have to be updated for
the
position, or a new position may need to be created corresponding to the new combination
of the
attributes. IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 52
Any individual who occupies a position will inherit the above-mentioned attributes of the
position.
A position is thus specific and particular opening in the organization, as opposed to job
codes,
which are more generic in nature. Job codes reflect the job points of the jobs across the
organization, whereas a position number reflects a specific job description in the
organization.
• Poornata helps and gives hints and warns the user the important information he must
know about
the Poornata system.
• It provides the additional information to assist the user & provide key information.
• It also tells the frequently asked questions with respect to hiring employees.
• It also shows the common error and warning messages that the user may get at the time
of hiring.
It needs the information about regarding these:
Employee ID, Position Number, Job code (the job points of the employee), Company
(The legal
entity to which an employee /department is attached.), The Business unit to which the
employee
belongs to, Location (i.e. where the employee works), Department etc.
Following are the steps that will be used to maintain positions and department budgets
• Creating new positions
• Updating the information for existing positions as and when required
1. Creating a new position
A position corresponds to a specific vacancy in the organization. Hence a position should
be
created in Poornata, only when a new vacancy has arisen in the organization, and the
approval for
the same has been obtained offline.
Only after the offline approval has been obtained, should the position be created in the
system, i.e.
only pre-approved positions should be entered in to the system.
2. Updating The information for existing positions IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 53
From time to time the user should update the information for an existing position.
Typical situations are when:
• The position attributes or the approved max headcount for the position has changed.
• The position no longer exists.
• Organizational Restructuring.
Direct Hire Process:
It helps in doing the directly hiring an employee by Poornata system.
Introduction: The direct hiring process involves an employee being directly added to the
Poornata
system that is the situation where his information doesn’t exits as applicant in the
Poornata system.
An employee on joining the group would fill up the joining check list and the related
forms as per
the unit policy. The HR administrator would then hire him into the system by capturing
his
relevant information with respect to his personal job compensation, qualifications and
dependents’
information.
The hire action will be used to capture the event of the employee’s joining the
organization. There
can be either of two reasons for hire:
• Joining the ABG: This will reflect the situation where an employee joins a unit of the
ABG
group directly.
• Joining the acquired company: This will reflect the situation where an employee had
joined an
organization, which was subsequently acquired by ABG.
Going forward the action of joining the acquired company will be used to enter the data
of those
employees from the non-management cadre moving into the management cadre who had
originally
joined a company that was acquired by ABG.
The following information would be captured at the time of hiring the employee. IBSAR
Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 54
• Personal information – Name, address, NIN, DOB, gender marital status, religion /
caste.
• Job related information related to hiring, his position a related details.
• Compensation information with respect to the break of his CTC
Recording personal actions for an employee
Introduction: Post hiring as the employee moves through the organization, there would be
various
kinds of updation in the employee data. Broadly the processes that an employee could
move
through in the course of his life cycle in the organization comprise:
• Probation, followed by confirmation.
• Promotion
• Pay rate change
• Transfer
• Resignation
• Termination
• Separation /Retirement
9. EXIT I!TERVIEWS
An exit interview is simply a conversation between a departing employee (who is
leaving the
company either voluntarily or involuntarily) and a representative from the organization.
The
interview can follow a structured format or be conducted on an informal basis; written
questionnaires can even be used in place of a face-to-face meeting. Whichever format is
used, exit
interviews are generally documented.
Traditionally, exit interviews are conducted with employees leaving an organization. The
purpose
of the interview is to provide feedback on why employees are leaving, what they liked or
didn’t
like about their employment and what areas of the organization they feel need
improvement. Exit
interviews are one of the most widely used methods of gathering employee feedback,
along with
employee satisfaction surveys.
Benefits of Exit Interview
Exit interviews can be a win-win situation for both the organization and the leaver. The
organization gets to retain a portion of the leaver’s knowledge and make it available to
others,
while the leaver gets to articulate their unique contributions to the organization and to
‘leave their
mark’.
Exit interviews offer a fleeting opportunity to find out information that otherwise might
be more
difficult or impossible to obtain. The exit interview is an important learning tool for
employers.
When properly conducted, the interview provides the employer with the opportunity to:
• Discuss and clarify the reasons for the termination
• Clarify pay and benefits issues (e.g., receipt of the last paycheck, the amount of unused
vacation,
conversion or continuation of benefits, terms of a severance package, unemployment
insurance,
etc.)
• Explain company policies relating to departing employees (e.g., trade secret
confidentiality,
restrictive covenants or non-compete agreements, the possibility of future re-
employment,
freelance or contract work, the provision of references to prospective employers, etc.)

Explanation:&
According to Maslow “Human beings have wants & desires which can influence their
behavior.
Only unsatisfied needs can influence behavior, satisfied needs do not act as motivators.
Since
needs are many, they are arranged in the order of their importance, or hierarchy from the
basic to
complex.”
Self&Esteem
Belongingness & Love
Safety !eeds
Physiological !eeds
I
Self
Actualization IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 61
The most basic, powerful & obvious of all human needs is the need for physical survival.
Included
in this group are the needs for food, drink, sleep, protection from extreme temperature
etc. That
means the basic needs.
Safety !eeds&
Once physiological needs are met, another set of motives, called safety or security needs,
become
motivators. The primary motivating force here is to ensure a reasonable degree of
continuity,
order, structure, & predictability in one’s environment.
In UTCL security needs means the factors like
Job security,
Salary increments,
Safe working conditions etc.
It also satisfy the safety needs of employees include
Group insurance,
Provident fund, gratuity, IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 62
Self&Esteem !eeds&
Next in Maslow’s hierarchy is esteem or egoistic needs.
Self&Actualization !eeds&
Finally if all the above four levels’ needs are satisfied, the needs for self-actualization
comes. The
employees who are in the highest position in UTCL are comes under these needs like:
1.V.P.,
2.President,
3.GM etc.
4.All top level employees.
They are getting all types of facilities like mobile, medical, education, conveyance
allowances
etc.So they are in the position that they are satisfied with all the needs. Now they are
helping their
juniors for the betterment of the organization. All the five needs of Maslow’s hierarchy
are
fulfilled by UTCL. So the employees are getting motivated and performing efficiently in
the
organization, which impacts directly on the success of UTCL group. That’s why the
attrition rate is
less in the organization, which is one of the reason for the success of the companies.
During the study of the project I observed different functions of the HR Department. I
got
the knowledge about the different types of HR Policies functioning in the organization. I
also got knowledge about how the organization is following their values in a very sincere
way.
I learnt how and what types of facilities are being provided to the employees .
I also observed how they are doing the Performance Appraisal on basis of the
achievement of the targets by the employees in the time given to them through ERP.
I got the knowledge about different departments in a manufacturing company and idea
about the challenges what the employees are facing while performing their work.
As I worked on the ERP system of the organization, I came to know that how they are
maintaining the database of the employees for all departments region-wise & its
importance.
They emphasis on providing proper working environment to their employees, so that
the
employees can work efficiently & smoothly .
RECOMME!DATIO!S
• The company should give the compensation as per to the skills, so that the employees
could
do the efficient work.
• Organizations need to empower their workers by allowing them greater autonomy and
control and to design jobs that are more stimulating. This will enhance the personal
productivity.
LIMITATIO!S
During the project there were various constraints, which were faced.
The review is done in retrospect and is an average of six months old, so recollection of
events is poor .
The opinions of staff and manager are often in opposition, causing de-motivation .
The process is usually Manager driven and the staff member is expected to be
compliant
in the interview .
The process usually involves the Manager giving their opinion and the staff member
having to defend the position, rather than a positive discussion .
The process is usually done in a rushed manner to meet a budget development process
and therefore loses its relevance to performance .
Results of merit rating are not accurate unless factors in the assessment are relevant.
Sometimes,proper weightage may not be given to different qualities to be rated.
Actual rating of subjective factors like initiative & personality of employees may not be
on scientific lines.
Superior may be biased.
Method of Appraisal unreliable.

prestigious project of one million top capacity cement plant at the existing locations.
UltraTech Concrete directly purchases sand from selected and approved suppliers tested
for
moisture content. To maintain the correct water-cement ratio, UltraTech Concrete plants
use
moisture sensors and an automatic water correction procedure.
Water
Potable water, free from impurities such as oil, alkalies, acids, salts, sugar, organic
materials is IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 11
ideal for concrete. UltraTech Concrete uses water tested at frequent intervals and uses
water
purifiers whenever necessary.
Admixture
Admixtures used in concrete during mixing ensures its workability (the ease of placing of
concrete
in moulds) and the setting time is carefully chosen from reputed companies. The
workability is
measured for every batch through the slump cone and is controlled using a scientific
method of
dosing. UltraTech Concrete is equipped with computerized batching and mixing plants to
strictly
monitor the quality of the concrete. It uses a computerized recipe for the raw mix design
(cement :
sand : coarse aggregate : water : admixture) and quantities of raw materials are weighed
automatically as per the design mix. The water-cement ratio, very important to satisfy the
strength
and durability criteria of concrete, is pre-designed through a scientific mix design as per
the BIS
standards and kept constant throughout to maintain the consistency in quality for a
particular mix.
Mixing is generally done through high efficiency pan mixers (machine mixers / turbo
mixer) to
ensure uniform and consistent quality concrete.
Transportation
The transport of concrete from its place of mixing to the delivery point is very critical, as
there is
possibility of the concrete drying out and losing its workability and plasticity.
UltraTech Concrete transports concrete from its ready mix concrete plants to the site
through
transit mixers. Further, the concrete is pumped to the actual point of concreting using
high
efficiency concrete pumps, thus maintaining the homogeneity of the concrete throughout
the transit
till the final deposition. Placing the concrete is expedited scientifically by specialized
delivery
trucks. Qualified and experienced engineers monitor the entire operation.

Introduction
HR PRACTICES
The success of any business depends as much on appropriate, effective, well-
communicated, HR
and business practices as it depends on meeting the requirements of mandated laws and
regulations. In fact, good planning and the development of effective practices make
regulatory
compliance much easier.
HR practices helps in increasing the productivity and quality, and to gain the competitive
advantage of a workforce strategically aligned with the organization’s goals and
objectives.
Some of the key performance indicators for Human Resources include but are not limited
to the
following.
• Prepare HR strategic Objectives and bring in clarity as to how the HR strategy supports
the
organizational strategy
• Develop KPI's for each of the strategic objectives.
• Track and measure performance
Human Resources Best Practices
The best practices in the management of human resources are the ones which optimize a
workforce
so that it can not only get work done, but also ensure a greater level of efficiency,
timeliness and
quality as it accomplishes increases productivity overall.
Hence the job of the best practices human resources firm is to make sure that these
benefits and
pay scales meet the company’s budget while remaining attractive and competitive enough
to pull
in the very best talent possible. We should know that these figures put the company in a
good light
while also presenting themselves as engaging and competitive for company’s recruitment
efforts.
OBJECTIVE OF HR PRACTICES:&
The main objective of HR Practices is to differentiate the organization from its
competitors by
effective and efficient HR Practices. By following this, the organization does its whole
work
process. The objective of HR Practices is to increase productivity and quality, and to gain
the
competitive advantage of a workforce strategically aligned with the organization’s goals
and
objectives.
As The Transparent HR practices can reduce attrition, Because-
Transparent HR practices ensure continuous business growth in every organization.
It gives the suitable working environment to the employees.
The success of company motivates the employees of organization to continue
relationship with
it. As all the employees Perks chart has been mentioned according to their designation in
the HR
practices, it helps the employees to know what their perks charts are. So it creates a
transparency.
IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 19
As we know the whole function of HR department depends upon the HR Practices of the
organization. The HR management is done according to the HR Practices of the
company. Which
things to be done and which things should not be done depend upon this only. It also
helps the
organization to achieve the target of the organization.
The HR policies of the organization have been mentioned in the HR Practices. All the
rules &
regulations for the employees have been also mentioned in this. All the welfare of the
employees’
processes is also mentioned in this.
So the study of the HR Practices means basically the brief study of all HR functions in
the
organization. I believe the HR Practices is a vital part of an organization, which helps the
organization to achieve the goal of the organization.
All companies are having their HR Practices but the company who is having the best, is
the most
successful company among its competitors. So the company can get success within its
competitors
by applying best, effective HR Practices.
management function that helps managers to recruit, select, train and develop members

Selection
It is one area where the interference of external factors is minimal. Hence the HR
department can
use its discretion in framing its selection policy and using various selection tools for the
best result.
Recruitment of staff should be preceded by:
An analysis of the job to be done (i.e. an analytical study of the tasks to be performed to
determine
their essential factors) written into a job description so that the selectors know what
physical and
mental characteristics applicants must possess, what qualities and attitudes are desirable
and what
characteristics are a decided disadvantage.
Effectively, selection is 'buying' an employee (the price being the wage or salary
multiplied by
probable years of service) hence bad buys can be very expensive. For that reason some
firms (and
some firms for particular jobs) use external expert consultants for recruitment and
selection.
Equally some small organizations exist to 'head hunt', i.e. to attract staff with high
reputations from
existing employers to the recruiting employer. However, the 'cost' of poor selection is
such that,
even for the mundane day-to-day jobs, those who recruit and select should be well trained
to judge
the suitability of applicants.
Outsourcing is also done through consultancies by mentioning the requirement, number
and time.
Where the organization does its own printed advertising it is useful if it has some
identifying logo
as its trade mark for rapid attraction and it must take care not to offend the sex, race, etc.
antidiscrimination legislation either directly or indirectly. The form on which the
applicant is to
apply (personal appearance, letter of application, completion of a form) will vary
according to the
posts vacant and numbers to be recruited.
from a five minute 'chat' to a process of several days. Ultimately personal skills in
judgment are
probably the most important.

Most organizations focus on an annual evaluation process for employees and call that
Performance
Management. However, annual evaluations are often subjective and can lack specific
measurements and supportive data to help the employee truly improve their behavior.
Provide managers and employees with the tools necessary to focus on short-term and
long-term
goals that contribute to both career and organizational success. IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 28
Support the organization in developing and sustaining a culture that recognizes and
rewards
individual contributions and team performance.
Promote a work climate that requires employees to remain flexibly focused. For
instance,
employees can manage current tasks and unit goals while keeping pace with, and
adapting to,
change in the work environment.
HR Performance Management System can be performed in three steps:
Needs Analysis
Identifying Competencies
Development of effective Performance Management System.
PURPOSE

• Decide salary & related issues.
For Development&
• Provide performance feedback to all concerned.
• Identify individual skills, core competencies, strength & weaknesses.
• Assist employees in setting goals.
• Identify training needs.
• Improve communication.
PROBLEMS&
• Rating biases-
• Halo effect
• Error of central tendency.
• Personal Prejudice.
• Recency effect.

In the month of April/May every year, after the annual planning and budgeting rounds,
all teams
identify their KRA’s and goals for the forthcoming financial year. This process occurs by
offline.
Then the employees fill their goal setting document in the Poornata system, listing the
KRA’s,
Goals, Measurement Criteria, Assigning Weightage and due date for completion of
specific goals
as already discussed offline.
Then they notify the same to their manager/immediate supervisor and await approval.
The manager recommends any changes if required or else approves the goals set in the
document.
The approval of the goals set by the managers completes the goal setting process.
The approved documents will be then available to the employees as well as their
managers for
the reference throughout the year. These documents can also be viewed by manager’s
manager
(Reviewer) for their indirect subordinates.
Mid year review of goals set at the beginning of the financial year held on the months of
October/November every year.
The mid year review generally initiated by the manager.
The main focus of the mid year review is to check if the goals set at the beginning of the
year are
relevant or if they need to be revised or updated.
The mid year review is also an opportunity for the manager and his team members to
identify
and discuss about any performance issues and initiate corrective action for the same.
The mid year review does not entail any ratings.
The annual performance reviews against goals set and achieved held during the months
of April-
May every year.
The employee completes his self-review /appraisal against goals set, online in the
Poornata
system and submits the same to his manager for review.
The manager then discuss the performance of the employee with him/her off-line, give
him
feedback on his performance and capture his own comments and performance ratings
against goals
and overall ratings in the manager’s evaluation form.
The manager also discusses the employee’s performance as well as rating with the
manager’s
manager (reviewer) and sends the document to the HR department for further processing.
Training Design&
The trainer – Before starting a training program, a trainer analyzes his technical,
interpersonal,
judgmental skills in order to deliver quality content to trainers.
The trainees – A good training design requires close scrutiny of the trainees and their
profiles.
Age, experience, needs and expectations of the trainees are some of the important factors
that
affect training design.
Training climate – A good training climate comprises of ambience, tone, feelings,
positive
perception for training program, etc.
Trainees’ learning style – The learning style, age, experience, educational background of
trainees
must be kept in mind in order to get the right pitch to the design of the program.
Training strategies – Once the training objective has been identified, the trainer translates
it into
specific training areas and modules. The trainer prepares the priority list of about what
must be
included, what could be included.
Training topics – After formulating a strategy, trainer decides upon the content to be
delivered.
Trainers break the content into headings, topics and ad modules. These topics and
modules are
then classified into information, knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
Training tactics – Once the objectives and the strategy of the training program becomes
clear,
trainer comes in the position to select most appropriate tactics or methods or techniques.
The
method selection depends on the following factors: IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in
• Trainees’ background
• Time allocated
• Style preference of trainer
• Level of competence of trainer
• Availability of facilities and resources, etc

It is a holistic and systematic process, across the group. It is built on the work done so far
on
people processes, and has a Talent Identification and Talent Development Strategy for all
the 3
levels of management i.e. Senior, Middle & Junior Management. This is facilitated by
Development Assessment Center followed by Individual Development Plan, enabling
planned
succession and career management.
The talent management process includes HR process for
• Recruitment,
• Performance,
• Compensation,
• Succession planning,
• Learning and other capabilities around self-service,
• Analytics IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)

With businesses going global and competition becoming intense, there is mounting
pressure on
organizations to deliver more and better than before. Organizations therefore need to be
able to
develop and deploy people who can articulate the passion and vision of the organization
and make
teams with the energy to perform at much higher levels.
Talent management is a key business process and like any business process takes inputs
and
generates output.
Talent management is a professional term that gained popularity in the late 1990s. It
refers to the
process of developing and fostering new workers through onboarding, developing and
keeping
current workers and attracting highly skilled workers to work for your company. Talent
management in this context does not refer to the management of entertainers.
Companies that are engaged in talent management (human capital management) are
strategic and
deliberate in how they source, attract, select, train, develop, promote, and move
employees through
the organization. This term also incorporates how companies drive performance at the
individual
level (performance management).
The term talent management means different things to different people.
• To some it is about the management of high-worth individuals or “the talented”.
• To others it is about how talent is managed generally - i.e. on the assumption that all
people have
talent which should be identified and liberated.
Talent management decisions are often driven by a set of organizational core
competencies as well
as position-specific competencies. The competency set may include knowledge, skills,
experience,
and personal traits (demonstrated through defined behaviors)
STEPS
(Process of Col lect ing Informat ion)
“Job Analysis is a process of studying and collecting information relating to operations
and
responsibilities of a specific job. The immediate products of this analysis are ‘Job
Description’ and
‘Job Specifications’.”
(Systemat ic Explorat ion of Act ivi t ies)
“Job Analysis is a systematic exploration of activities within a job. It is a basic technical
procedure
that is used to define duties and responsibilities and accountabilities of the job.”
( Ident i fying Job Requirements)
“Job is a collection of tasks that can be performed by a single employee to contribute to
the
production of some product or service, provided by the organization. Each job has
certain ability
requirements (as well as certain rewards) associated with it. Job Analysis is a process
used to
identify these requirements.”
Each job is a unique description of a role that a person can hold in an organization or
required to
be performed for the business benefit of that organization. When jobs are created, their
tasks and
requirements are taken into consideration.
Jobs are used in the following components:
• Job and Position Description
• Shift Planning
• Personnel Cost Planning
• Career and Succession Planning
Note:
Job descriptions should be as general as possible and as detailed as necessary.

Positions are specific to

More than one position can

Each position typically
represents one employee,
but may be partially filled
by more than one
Once you have created a job, define the number of positions required the enterprise.
Jobs are not staffed by employees. That is the role of positions. If more than one person
must
perform jobs, more than one position must be created to meet this requirement.
A position inherits the job’s tasks, and can also be assigned its own additional tasks.
Positions can be 100% staffed, partially staffed, or vacant.
When we define a position as vacant, the system prompts us to define the period for
which the
position will be vacant There will be a central authority that will be designated to declare
vacancies and make them available for Recruitment (both internal and external).
Positions can
fall vacant due to reassignment or Separation as well. Such positions become unoccupied
and
not vacant. Vacancy is thus a declared feature for a position.
A chief position is a position designated as the leader of a particular organizational unit.
6. Organizational Structure
Using the basic object types – constructs of relationships is built to mirror the business
edifices and
processes. By assigning object characteristics, validations, requirements etc, we can
capture
complex organizational realities with relative ease.
Process Flow:
• Before creating all of the other necessary objects and relationships, the user must first
create a
root organizational unit. Once one organizational unit has been created, it is
recommended to
create the appropriate organizational units below it.
• Jobs may be created after an organizational unit exists in the model.
• You can assign cost centers to organizational units

Every organization has its organizational structure. According to this every employee has
some
specific work. The work also depends upon their levels. As per their levels in different
departments
they will have to do their work.
In RMC business, there are different departments so as to organize the work efficiently
and
effectively. These are:
• HR
• Marketing
• Technical
• Commercial and Accounts
• IT
• Key Accounts
• CRM
• Quality
As for different departments different works has been specified for the different levels of
people. It
helps them to perform their work, which has been specified to him. For similar jobs also
the work
of the employees’ has been structured properly, to avoid the repetition of the work with
the other
employees. It helps in decrease the overlapping of the work. IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 48
To manage the different levels of work the employees have been separated in to different
designations and different depts. According to their area of specialization. The
designations which
have been given to the employees are based on the skills they have, grades, knowledge,
varying
experiences. These designations have been specified as per the standard HR Practices of
the
organizations, so as to make the organization different from other organizations.
In this way the organization stands in a better position than its competitors in the
competitive
business.
The different designations given to the employees in UTCL (RMC Division) are given in
the
following table.
Designation (s)
Jt. President /Jt. Exc. President

Poornata also helps the employees in this way, IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 51
Once the data of an employee entered in to Poornata (ERP), the employee gets a Poornata
ID,
which helps the employees to know about the different policies of Organization.
They can know these policies directly from the ERP system.
As it done only through Online, there is no delay in getting different infomations.
It also helps them to do the reporting to the concerned person.
They can also fill their problems which they face during their work and send to their
departments.
In this way Poornata helps not only the managers but the employees also.
Poornata (ERP) helps UTCL in the following ways
Poornata helps in performing day to day roles.
Introduction – Poornata helps in creating and updating of the positions of the employees.
Each position will correspond to specific vacancy in the organization, have a specific
headcount
defined for it and is also tied to the following specific attributes:
• Business unit
• Department
• Company
• Job code
• Location
• Regulatory Region
• Job Function
• Reporting to position (The position to which this particular position reports to)
• Career stages
Every time one or more of the above attributes change, the same have to be updated for
the
position, or a new position may need to be created corresponding to the new combination
of the
attributes. IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 52
Any individual who occupies a position will inherit the above-mentioned attributes of the
position.
A position is thus specific and particular opening in the organization, as opposed to job
codes,
which are more generic in nature. Job codes reflect the job points of the jobs across the
organization, whereas a position number reflects a specific job description in the
organization.
• Poornata helps and gives hints and warns the user the important information he must
know about
the Poornata system.
• It provides the additional information to assist the user & provide key information.
• It also tells the frequently asked questions with respect to hiring employees.
• It also shows the common error and warning messages that the user may get at the time
of hiring.
It needs the information about regarding these:
Employee ID, Position Number, Job code (the job points of the employee), Company
(The legal
entity to which an employee /department is attached.), The Business unit to which the
employee
belongs to, Location (i.e. where the employee works), Department etc.
Following are the steps that will be used to maintain positions and department budgets
• Creating new positions
• Updating the information for existing positions as and when required
1. Creating a new position
A position corresponds to a specific vacancy in the organization. Hence a position should
be
created in Poornata, only when a new vacancy has arisen in the organization, and the
approval for
the same has been obtained offline.
Only after the offline approval has been obtained, should the position be created in the
system, i.e.
only pre-approved positions should be entered in to the system.
2. Updating The information for existing positions IBSAR Navi Mumbai
(satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in) Page 53
From time to time the user should update the information for an existing position.
Typical situations are when:
• The position attributes or the approved max headcount for the position has changed.
• The position no longer exists.
• Organizational Restructuring.
Direct Hire Process:
It helps in doing the directly hiring an employee by Poornata system.
Introduction: The direct hiring process involves an employee being directly added to the
Poornata
system that is the situation where his information doesn’t exits as applicant in the
Poornata system.
An employee on joining the group would fill up the joining check list and the related
forms as per
the unit policy. The HR administrator would then hire him into the system by capturing
his
relevant information with respect to his personal job compensation, qualifications and
dependents’
information.
The hire action will be used to capture the event of the employee’s joining the
organization. There
can be either of two reasons for hire:
• Joining the ABG: This will reflect the situation where an employee joins a unit of the
ABG
group directly.
• Joining the acquired company: This will reflect the situation where an employee had
joined an
organization, which was subsequently acquired by ABG.
Going forward the action of joining the acquired company will be used to enter the data
of those
employees from the non-management cadre moving into the management cadre who had
originally
joined a company that was acquired by ABG.
The following information would be captured at the time of hiring the employee. IBSAR
Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 54
• Personal information – Name, address, NIN, DOB, gender marital status, religion /
caste.
• Job related information related to hiring, his position a related details.
• Compensation information with respect to the break of his CTC
Recording personal actions for an employee
Introduction: Post hiring as the employee moves through the organization, there would be
various
kinds of updation in the employee data. Broadly the processes that an employee could
move
through in the course of his life cycle in the organization comprise:
• Probation, followed by confirmation.
• Promotion
• Pay rate change
• Transfer
• Resignation
• Termination
• Separation /Retirement
9. EXIT I!TERVIEWS
An exit interview is simply a conversation between a departing employee (who is
leaving the
company either voluntarily or involuntarily) and a representative from the organization.
The
interview can follow a structured format or be conducted on an informal basis; written
questionnaires can even be used in place of a face-to-face meeting. Whichever format is
used, exit
interviews are generally documented.
Traditionally, exit interviews are conducted with employees leaving an organization. The
purpose
of the interview is to provide feedback on why employees are leaving, what they liked or
didn’t
like about their employment and what areas of the organization they feel need
improvement. Exit
interviews are one of the most widely used methods of gathering employee feedback,
along with
employee satisfaction surveys.
Benefits of Exit Interview
Exit interviews can be a win-win situation for both the organization and the leaver. The
organization gets to retain a portion of the leaver’s knowledge and make it available to
others,
while the leaver gets to articulate their unique contributions to the organization and to
‘leave their
mark’.
Exit interviews offer a fleeting opportunity to find out information that otherwise might
be more
difficult or impossible to obtain. The exit interview is an important learning tool for
employers.
When properly conducted, the interview provides the employer with the opportunity to:
• Discuss and clarify the reasons for the termination
• Clarify pay and benefits issues (e.g., receipt of the last paycheck, the amount of unused
vacation,
conversion or continuation of benefits, terms of a severance package, unemployment
insurance,
etc.)
• Explain company policies relating to departing employees (e.g., trade secret
confidentiality,
restrictive covenants or non-compete agreements, the possibility of future re-
employment,
freelance or contract work, the provision of references to prospective employers, etc.)

Explanation:&
According to Maslow “Human beings have wants & desires which can influence their
behavior.
Only unsatisfied needs can influence behavior, satisfied needs do not act as motivators.
Since
needs are many, they are arranged in the order of their importance, or hierarchy from the
basic to
complex.”

Self
Actualization IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)
Page 61
Safety !eeds&
Once physiological needs are met, another set of motives, called safety or security needs,
become
motivators. The primary motivating force here is to ensure a reasonable degree of
continuity,
order, structure, & predictability in one’s environment.
Self&Esteem !eeds&
Next in Maslow’s hierarchy is esteem or egoistic needs.
Performance appraisals,
Performance recognition,
Involving employees in goal setting & decision making.
In this way UTCL satisfies the self-esteem needs of employees.
Self&Actualization !eeds&
Finally if all the above four levels’ needs are satisfied, the needs for self-actualization
comes. The
employees who are in the highest position in UTCL are comes under these needs like:
1.V.P.,
2.President,
3.GM etc.
4.All top level employees.
They are getting all types of facilities like mobile, medical, education, conveyance
allowances
etc.So they are in the position that they are satisfied with all the needs. Now they are
helping their
juniors for the betterment of the organization. All the five needs of Maslow’s hierarchy
are
fulfilled by UTCL. So the employees are getting motivated and performing efficiently in
the
organization, which impacts directly on the success of UTCL group. That’s why the
attrition rate is
less in the organization, which is one of the reason for the success of the companies.
During the study of the project I observed different functions of the HR Department. I
got
the knowledge about the different types of HR Policies functioning in the organization. I
also got knowledge about how the organization is following their values in a very sincere
way.
I learnt how and what types of facilities are being provided to the employees .
I also observed how they are doing the Performance Appraisal on basis of the
achievement of the targets by the employees in the time given to them through ERP.
I got the knowledge about different departments in a manufacturing company and idea
about the challenges what the employees are facing while performing their work.
As I worked on the ERP system of the organization, I came to know that how they are
maintaining the database of the employees for all departments region-wise & its
importance.
They emphasis on providing proper working environment to their employees, so that
the
employees can work efficiently & smoothly .
IBSAR Navi Mumbai (satishpgoyal@yahoo.co.in)

RECOMME!DATIO!S
• The company should give the compensation as per to the skills, so that the employees
could
do the efficient work.
• Organizations need to empower their workers by allowing them greater autonomy and
control and to design jobs that are more stimulating. This will enhance the personal
productivity.
• The employee goals are well studied and structured. The Key Related Areas are
properly
designed & clearly mentioned to employees.
LIMITATIO!S
During the project there were various constraints, which were faced.
The review is done in retrospect and is an average of six months old, so recollection of
events is poor .
The opinions of staff and manager are often in opposition, causing de-motivation .
The process is usually Manager driven and the staff member is expected to be
compliant
in the interview .
The process usually involves the Manager giving their opinion and the staff member
having to defend the position, rather than a positive discussion .
The process is usually done in a rushed manner to meet a budget development process
and therefore loses its relevance to performance .
Results of merit rating are not accurate unless factors in the assessment are relevant.
Sometimes,proper weightage may not be given to different qualities to be rated.
Actual rating of subjective factors like initiative & personality of employees may not be
on scientific lines.
Superior may be biased.
Method of Appraisal unreliable.
