Questions
Criticism
The HR Department of Nishat is very strong and the overall
performance of the Nishat HR Department is very good but some
weaknesses also lies which we have found while writing this
report .Nishat use the no firing concept for employees but they use
the training, demotion and job rotation of employees if their
Hazara University
Haripur Campus
performance is below average which is not in the favor of the
organization.
Other problem lies when company do not out source their external
recruitment process and do not give chance to specialized firms to
hire best employees while the banking sector of Nishat Group uses
only outsourcing in external recruitment process.
The Nishat Mills hire its old employees after their retirement which
is a hurdle in the development and progress of new
employees.Performance evaluation result is not directly discussed
with employees and an indirect way is choosen for this purpose due
to which gap is there between management and emloyees.
Recommendations
In Order to solve the problem the company must fire those
employees who are giving continuous poor performance in spite of
job rotation and training. Company must use external recruitment
firms like Personnel consultancies, Management recruitment
Hazara University
Haripur Campus
consultants, and Executive search firms to hire the best employees
as these companies are the expertise. The Nishat Mills must not hire
the retired employees on contract and give more and more chances
to the new talent.
