DISCRIPTION OF ITC HR PRACTICES
ITC's human resource management systems and processes aim to create a responsive, customer-
centric and market-focused culture that enhances organisational capability and vitality, so that
each business is internationally competitive and equipped to exploit emerging market
opportunities.
RECRUITMENT:
ITC’S Recruitment objectives:
To effectively manage the manpower recruitment in coherence with long term and short
term manpower planning of the organization through a standard recruitment and selection
policy.
To proactively and systematically identify the recruitment needs in time. To ensure that all
the recruitment are within the manpower budget and as per the laid down policy.
The recruited people with required level of skilled and aptitude for learning and growth.
Recruitment Sources:
The sources of recruitment may be broadly divided into two categories: internal sources and
external sources. On receipt of the Manpower Requisition (MPR) form HR department will
initiate action of sourcing the candidates as under:
1.INTERNAL METHOD:
PROMOTION AND TRANSFERS:
ITC Prefer to fill vacancies through promotion or transfers from within wherever possible.
Promotion involves movement of an employee from a lower level position to higher level position
accompanied by changes in duties, responsibilities, status and value and value.
It may lead to changes in duties and responsibility, working conditions, etc., but not necessarily
salary. Internal promotions and transfers certainly allow people greater scope to experiment with
their career, kindling ambitions and motivating them to take a shot at something they might
otherwise never have considered. The system, of course, works best for young executives who
are willing to take risks.
JOB POSITION
Job position is another way of hiring people from within. In this method, the organization
publicizes job openings on bulletin boards, electronic media and similar outlets. Hindustan lever
introduced its version open job position in early 2002 and over 40 positions have since been filed
through the process. HLL even allows its employee to undertake career shifts, for example from
technical position system.
EMPLOYEE REFERRALS
Employee referral means using personal contacts to locate job opportunities. It is a
recommendation from a current employee regarding a job applicant. The logic behind employee
referral is that “ it takes one to know one” employee working in the organization in this case, are
encouraged to recommend the name of their friends working in other organization for a possible
vacancy in the near future. In fact, this has become a popular way of recruiting people in the highly
competitive information technology industry now a day. Companies offer rich rewards also to
employees whose recommendation are accepted after the routine screening and examining process
is over- and job offers extended to the suggested candidates.
2.Extarnal Method
Campus Recruitment
It is a method of recruiting by visiting and participating in college campuses and their
placement centers. Here the recruiter’s visits reputed educational institutions such as IITs, IIMs
colleges and universities with a view to pickup job aspirants having a requisite technical of
professional skills. Job seekers are provided information about the jobs and the recruiter’s intern
get a snap shot of job seekers through constant interchange of information with respective
institutions.
Advertisement
This includes advertisement in news papers; trade, professionals and technical journals; radio and
TV etc. In recent time this medium became just as colorful lively and imaginative as consumer
advertising. The ad generally gives a brief outline of the job responsibilities, compensation
package, prospects in the organization etc. This method is appropriate when (a) the organization
intends to reach a large target group and (b) the organization wants a fairly good no. of talented
people who are geographically spread out.
Head Hunters
There is an influx of executive search agencies also known as head hunters who specialize in
selection of professionals for very senior or top posts, where applicants are in short supply and
employers have no time to go round in search of the best talents. Such vacancies are fewer and far
between and organizations prefer hiring a head hunter who maintains confidentiality of the
employer and are specialize in recruiting the best talent strictly as per the job specification. But,
these specialists bodies charges hefty professional fees. However, the high cost is outweighed by
the benefit of recruiting the best talent without going through the cumbersome and time consuming
process of internal recruitment system.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
Screening of Application :
The ratio between the number of vacancy and the number of candidate to
be called for test/interview should normally be 1:5.
1. TEST:
Depending on the requirement of the job if required, management may
conduct written/aptitude/psychometric/physical or any other test as deem
fit.
3. INTERVIEW:
All the candidates short listed for interview will be informed through a
formal call letter for attending interview at least 15 days in advance.
The candidate will be interview by the interview panel.
.
5. Joining Formalities:
(a) Employees joining shall first report in the HR department
will facilitate in completing the joining formalities such as
filling of joining report and other necessary forms.
(b) HR department will ensure that the candidates will be
allowed to join subject to their being found medically.
