                              EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is the internship report based on the eleven-week-long internship program that I had
successfully completed in JCB INDIA LTD. - Jaipur Plant, under Human Resource
Department from 11th May, 2019 to 25th July, 2019 as a requirement of my MBA
program , in TAPMI SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, MANIPAL UNIVERSITY,JAIPUR. As
being completely new to practical and the corporate world setting, every hour spent in the
HRD gave me some amount of experience all the time, all of which cannot be explained
in words. But nevertheless, they were all useful for my career.
I have worked in Human Resource Department ofJCB INDIA LTD. - Jaipur Plant, majorly
with Learning & Development Unit (Training & Career Planning) and the Business Unit
(HR Administration).During the initial phase of my internship, I was made comfortable
with the indispensable and core HR operations, but the latter phase focussed thoroughly
on formulating and implementing both the conventional and trending HR policies for JCB,
which would contribute towards the “career development” of its employees.Therefore, the
major duration of my training period was concerned with “FORMULATING &
DESIGNING” the predetermined career development policies for the employees of JCB
INDIA LTD.- Jaipur Plant.
                                                                                        3
                               ABOUT THE COMPANY
JCB dominates the Indian construction equipment market with every three out of every
four construction equipment sold in India being a JCB.
                                                                                            4
                 INTRODUCTION TO THE WORKS ASSIGNED
During the term of my internship, I was assigned a variety of tasks, which ranged from
the most fundamental Human Resource functions like “filing”,“indexing” and ”auditing” of
employee documents, to the absolute strategic Human Resource operations like
“formulation and implementation of Human Resource Policies”.
During the initial phase of my internship, I was made comfortable with the indispensable
and core HR operations, but the latter phase focussed thoroughly on formulating and
implementing both the conventional and trending HR policies for JCB, which would
contribute towards the “career development” of its employees.
This task also enabled me to absorb the method and manner in which official documents
are formulated and approved by the respective authorities, which in itself is a very crucial
and entailing process.It has also helped me to be abreast with the customary and
conventional HR policies like Career Development, Job Rotation, Internal Trainer,
Supplier Mentoring, Overseas Training, Job Enrichment, Field Support, Mentor-Mentee,
Overseas Assignment etc.
                                                                                          5
                   DETAILED DESCRIPTION & KEY LEARNINGS
   These documents include adhar card, pan card, qualification details like 10th, 12th,
   graduation, masters etc., past work experience certificates, personal details form,
   interview assessment sheet, background check form, employee referral form, offer letter,
   appointment letter, employee health benefit form, mandate form, non-disclosure form,
   employee relations form, leave request forms, employee reward form, employee
   complaints form, exit interview form, exit clearance form, experience certificate etc.
   Usually the documents are arranged in the descending order i.e. according to the recent
   developments related to the employee.
   During the initial course of my internship, I was assigned the task of filing the documents
   and indexing the files of various employees.
 ● “Auditing” refers to the process of conducting an official inspection of all the necessary
   employee documents in all the files of employees while also maintaining a record of the
   same.
   During the course of my internship, I was asked to conduct an audit of all the documents
   of employees and maintain an excel sheet of the same with all the necessary details.
   During the course of my internship, I was asked to segregate the interview assessment
   forms of various candidates on the basis of their selection status (selected / on hold / not
   selected) and document the same in an excel sheet.
                                                                                             6
● “Employee Payslips” - is a note / document given to an employee when they are paid,
  with all the details of the amount of pay given and with the amounts deducted for tax and
  insurance.
   This makes almost all HR processes transparent and communicative for the employees
   which helps to minimize any complication arising in the core HR functions due to
   non-disclosure of information or irregular & incomplete documentation related to the
   activities of employees.
   During my internship, I was asked to upload the payslips of around 2000 employees, in
   their respective Digital Management System Portals.
   During the course of my internship, I was asked to prepare the first drafts of policies,
   consisting of introduction, definition, scope, objective, applicability, eligibility, process,
   flowchart and frequently asked questions, on each of the following :-
                                                                                               7
   addition to performing his regular job also takes up a dynamic role in developing a
   given Supplier. The organisations usually form a team of mentors, who are resources
   from various domains with extensive hands-on technical experience and a
   demonstrated ability in analysis in problem solving.
● “Job Enrichment” - Job enrichment refers to making a job more interesting and
  challenging for the employees by redesigning and adding variety to their jobs. It mainly
  consists of giving more responsibility than what originally applies to the job through
  opportunities aimed at the professional growth and recognition of employees.
● “Field Support” - Field Service is a function within the organisation that is responsible
  for supporting the customer in an ongoing and prompt manner with daily service,
  maintenance and up-keep needs of the customer's equipment. Field service function
  anchors seamless business relationships with customers and provides an opportunity
  for repeat business orders based on the customer experience. Field support helps
  with preventive maintenance, performance tracking, prompt repair support. The Field
  Support team has mastery on proactively diagnosing potential field failures,
  troubleshooting and ongoing progressive customer connect.
This Workshop was conducted to make the employees aware of the mechanism by
which JCB INDIA prevents the sexual harassment of its women employees at workplace.
The main objective of this workshop was to make the employees understand the
difference between “INTENT” and “IMPACT” of various actions.This workshop also
                                                                                           8
enlightened upon the mechanism through which JCB handles complaints related to the
sexual harassment and the regulating authority of the same through “ICC- INTERNAL
COMPLAINTS COMMITTEE”.
● "Workplace" includes :-
(v) any place visited by the employee arising out of or during the course of employment
including transportation provided by the employer for undertaking such a journey:
   ● “INTENT” is “the state of mind or the intention or the purpose with which an act is
     done”.
   ● “IMPACT” i s “the result or the effect or the meaning or the understanding gained
     after an action.”
                                                                                           9
This implies that the intention with which an act is done or a statement is made,
maybe in good faith, but what is perceived by the person is what matters and
should be considered and taken care of.
This committee ensures that necessary steps are taken to make the male employees
aware of their actions and their results.This committee also makes sure that the female
employees of the organisation feel safe while working.It is also this committee to which
the complaints are registered and “ICC” mechanises the investigation process, grievance
settlement or the punishments to be put into effect for the guilty parties.
The internal Committee shall consist of the following members to be nominated by the
employer, namely:-
b) Not less than two Members from amongst employees preferably committed to the
cause of women or who have had experience in social work or have legal knowledge.
d)The Presiding officer and every Member of the Internal Committee shall hold office or
such period, not exceeding three years from the date of their nomination as may be
specified by the employer.
                                                                                        10
G. To attend a “Safety Skit Competition” conducted to increase Safety Awareness
  in the manufacturing sector.
Attending this competition, of which various employees of JCB were participants, helped
me to develop a deep understanding about all the safety measures which are necessary
for the employee and worker safety in a manufacturing organisation.The general safety
measures, taken by almost all manufacturing organisations are as follows:-
   ● All employees will wear all required safety gear, safety glasses, and safety
     clothing for their job/position while at their workstation.
   ● All employees working around moving machinery are prohibited from wearing
     loose clothing or loose jewelry.
   ● All employees working around moving machinery must have long hair tied back
     where it can not fall forward or be caught in the machinery.
   ● All tools will be in use or will be stored at their proper location at all times, no tools
     are to be left in any location where they are not being used or being stored.
   ● All equipment, tools and machinery are to be kept clean and in full working
     condition, with any defects being immediately reported to maintenance.
   ● The instruction manuals for all machinery must be readily available for review.All
     equipment and machinery is to be shut down when not in use.
   ● All presses and machinery will require two hand operation to keep fingers and
     hands away from moving parts.
   ● All machinery is to have the manufacturer’s installed safety guards.
   ● No machinery is to be modified by any employee who is not specifically trained in
     the technical aspects of the machinery.
   ● All work areas are to be kept properly lit when anyone is working.All work areas
     are to be kept properly ventilated.
   ● All areas of the factory are being kept clean and organized.
   ● Anyone working in the factory under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be
     immediately terminated.
   ● No person shall be employed in the factory to lift, carry or move any load so
       heavy as to be likely to cause him an injury.
In India, the occupational safety and health of employees at workplace is broadly
governed by the following regulations:-
                                                                                             11
● The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation Of Employment and Conditions of
  Service) Act,1979
● The Fatal Accidents Act,1855
● The Personal Injuries (Emergencies) Provision Act,1962
● The Personal Injuries (Compensation Insurance) Act,1963
● The Employee State Insurance Act,1948
                                                                          12
              DESIGNING THE WORKFLOW / WORK PROCESS
The following steps summarise the key stages involved in the process of developing the
policies :-
       The first step consisted of carrying out a research or information gathering activity
       to find out what are the expectations and needs in general for the employees
       related to their career development.
                                                                                         13
2. IDENTIFICATION OF NEEDS
  The second step was to identify a list of the most appropriate and the best suited
  career development tracks.These are also the exclusively sound expectations and
  needs of the employees working in the organisation.
  After finalising the most appropriate career development tracks, the HR consults
  with the appropriate stakeholders involved regarding the necessity, processes
  involved, advantages, competitive advantage, segments of the organisation
  involved and the level of coordination expected from them for the same.
4. DELEGATION OF RESPONSIBILITY
  In this step, various decisions and actions were taken in the delegation of
  responsibilities and duties involved in the pre-decided career development
  tracks.Which function will be assigned to which segment, of which department is
  decided and finalised in this step.
  The policy, with its introduction, definition, scope, objective, applicability, eligibility,
  process, flowchart and frequently asked questions is now written down
  roughly.Various edits and changes, are made in this stage of policy formulation to
  make it suitable for official purposes.
  The policy is now documented in official format and is prepared for approval from
  authorities which to be carried out in the next step.
                                                                                           14
   7. FINALISING & APPROVING THE POLICY
        The policy is sent for approval and finalisation from the appropriate necessary
        authorities and to incorporate and take into consideration the suggestions and
        edits, if any, from the same.
The policies are implemented and taken into effect in this step.
The policy implementation process is monitored, reviewed and revised, if needed, in this
step. This step is a continuous and ongoing process which has to be carried out
relentlessly over a period of time.
                                                                                     15
LINKAGES OF WORKS ASSIGNED WITH OTHER FUNCTIONS OR DEPARTMENTS
                       IN THE ORGANISATION
The fundamental HR operations like filing, indexing and auditing were concerned only
with the HR Department.The strategic HR operations like formulation and implementation
of HR policies were concerned not with one specific department, but with all the staff
employees in the organisation.
   1. Through “Filing” and “Indexing”, all the documents of employees were arranged
      in appropriate orders in the respective cabinets.
A deep understanding about the fundamental concepts of “Filing” and “Indexing” was
developed.
                                                                                         16
eligibility and process of “supplier mentoring” was developed.
    12. By Drafting a policy regarding the “Field Support Program” of Employees in JCB
         Plant Jaipur,first draft of the policy was put into document.
A deep understanding about the fundamental concepts, scope,objectives, applicability,
eligibility and process of “field support” was developed.
   15. After attending a “Safety Skit Competition” , a deep understanding about Safety
       Awareness and important safety measures, in manufacturing organisations was
       developed.
                                                                                     17
                     USER GROUPS (INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL)
During the course of my internship, I was asked to prepare the first drafts of policies for
the career development of employees in the organisation.This included preparing policies
on Career Development, Job Rotation, Internal Trainer, Supplier Mentoring, Overseas
Training, Job Enrichment, Field Support, Mentor-Mentee, and Overseas Assignment.
                                                                                        18
        LEARNING OUTCOMES
                                                               19

                           year    of   joining   of
                           employees also.

                                   information of employees
                                   for various HR functions.It
                                   also acts as a platform for
                                   employees where they can
                                   get easy access to all the
                                   associated information on
                                   their fingertips.
                                   This makes almost all HR
                                   processes transparent and
                                   communicative for the
                                   employees which helps to
                                   minimize any complication
                                   arising in the core HR
                                   functions         due     to

                                   incomplete documentation
                                   related to the activities of
                                   employees.
                                                               21

                        CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
There exists a positive relationship between the greater adoption of HR practices and
business or organizational performance. The causal linkage between HR and
organizational performance will enable the HR managers to design programmes that will
bring forth better operational results to attain higher organizational performance. The
focus of the HR management should be to understand organizational performance
processes and design HR practices that influence process and outcome variables.
Policies and practices of organizations motivate employees and they give impact on the
organizational performance.The way an organization manages its Human Resources has
a significant relationship with the organization’s results.By achieving the expectations of
employees, the performance required by the organization is achieved.Hence,
