CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the of management an organization's most valued assets - the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) have largely replaced the term "personnel management" as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations. Human Resource management is evolving rapidly. Human resource management is both an academic theory and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practical techniques of managing a workforce. The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding what staffing needs you have and whether to use independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs, recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are high performers, dealing with performance issues, and ensuring your personnel and management practices conform to various regulations. Activities also include managing your approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee records and personnel policies. Usually small businesses (forprofit or nonprofit) have to carry out these activities themselves because they can't yet afford part- or full-time help. However, they should always ensure that employees have -- and are aware of -- personnel policies which conform to current regulations. These policies are often in the form of employee manuals, which all employees have. HRM is seen by practitioners in the field as a more innovative view of workplace management than the traditional approach. Its techniques force the managers of an enterprise to express their goals with specificity so that they can be understood and undertaken by the workforce and to provide the resources needed for them to successfully accomplish their assignments. As such, HRM techniques, when properly practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating practices of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to have a key role in risk reduction within organizations. There is a long-standing argument about where HR-related functions should be organized into large organizations, eg, "should HR be in the Organization Development department or the other way around? 2
The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone tremendous change over the past 20-30 years. Many years ago, large organizations looked to the "Personnel Department," mostly to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people. More recently, organizations consider the "HR Department" as playing a major role in staffing, training and helping to manage people so that people and the organization are performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling manner.

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
6
REVIEW OF LITERATURE Effective employee retention is a systematic effort by employers to create and foster an environment that encourages current employees to remain employed by having policies and practices in place that address their diverse needs. A strong retention strategy becomes a powerful recruitment tool. Retention of key employees is critical to the long-term health and success of any organization. It is a known fact that retaining your best employees ensures customer satisfaction, increased product sales, satisfied colleagues and reporting staff, effective succession planning and deeply imbedded organizational knowledge and learning. Employee retention matters as organizational issues such as training time and investment; lost knowledge; insecure employees and a costly candidate search are involved. Hence failing to retain a key employee is a costly proposition for an organization. Various estimates suggest that losing a middle manager in most organizations costs up to five times of his salary. Intelligent employers always realise the importance of retaining the best talent. Retaining talent has never been so important in the Indian scenario; however, things have changed in recent years. In prominent Indian metros at least, there is no dearth of opportunities for the best in the business, or even for the second or the third best. Retention of key employees and treating attrition troubles has never been so important to companies. In an intensely competitive environment, where HR managers are poaching from each other, organisations can either hold on to their employees tight or lose them to competition. For gone are the days, when employees would stick to an employer for years for want of a better choice. Now, opportunities abound. It is a fact that, retention of key employees is critical to the long-term health and success of any organisation. The performance of employees is often linked directly to quality work, customer satisfaction, and increased product sales and even to the image of a company. Whereas the same is often indirectly linked to, satisfied colleagues and reporting staff, effective succession planning and deeply embedded organisational knowledge and learning.

Employee retention matters, as, organisational issues such as training time and investment, costly candidate search etc., are involved. Hence, failing to retain a key employee is a costly proposition for any organisation. Various estimates suggest that losing a middle manager in most organisations, translates to a loss of up to five times his salary. This might be worse for BPO companies where fresh talent is intensively trained and inducted and then further groomed to the successive stages. In this scenario, the loss of a middle manager can often prove dear. In fact, some reports suggest that attrition levels in IT companies are as high as 40 per cent. The only way out is to develop appropriate retention strategies. Though BPO industry shoots ahead at 40 to 50 per cent a year, it is now losing 35 to 40 per cent of its 350,000-odd employees as well. In India there are few sectors where the attrition level is much larger compared to other sectors. For example: IT sector and BPO. Where as there are organizations like Air India, HAL, DRDO, BARC where the attrition is nearly 5% or less than that. Employee Retention Strategies helps organizations provide effective employee communication to improve commitment and enhance workforce support for key corporate initiatives.

CHAPTER 4 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
11
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research in common parlance refers to search for knowledge. Redman and Mory define research as a “Systematized effort to gain new knowledge. Research is an academic activity and such the term should be used in technical sense. According to Clifford Woody, Research comprises defining and redefining problem, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deductions and research conclusions; and at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis. Research is thus an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advertisement. It is pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison and experiment. In short the search for knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution to problem is research. 4.1 RESEARCH DESIGN A Research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the Research purpose with economy in procedure. In fact the Research design is the conceptual structure within which Research is conducted: it constitutes the blueprint for the collection measurement and analysis of data. It must be able to define clearly what they want to measure and must find adequate methods for measuring it along with a clear cut definition of population wants to study. Since the aim is to obtain complete and accurate information in these studies, the procedure to be used must be carefully planned. The research design must make enough provision for protection against bias and must maximize reliability with due concern for the economical completion of the search study. Descriptive research is adopted for this study. It includes surveys and fact finding enquires of different kinds. The major purpose of descriptive research is description of the state affairs as it exists at present. The main characteristic of this method is that the researcher has no control over the variables. He can only report what has happened or what is happened. 4.2 SAMPLING DESIGN A sample design is a definite plan for obtaining a sample from the sampling frame, it refers to the technique or procedure the researcher would adopt in selecting some sampling units from which interferences about the population is drawn. Sampling type used is Simple Random sampling technique. 4.2.1 POPULATION AND SAMPLE SIZE A decision has to be taken concerning sampling unit before selecting sample. The population for this study includes the employees from the AM Hyundai, Jammu. 25 employees were undertaken for the study. 12
4.3 DATA COLLECTIONS For achieving the specific objectives of this study, data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. 4.3.1 Primary Sources • Direct conversation with the respective officers of the Departments. • Face to face conversation with the employees. • Employee’s opinion collected through Questions. • Observation of HR activities. 4.3.2 Secondary Sources: • Various records of the Company. • Different Types of system information • Different newsletters. • Annual Performance Appraisal Form of company.
