Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE REPORT Background of the study Department of management studies of Allama Iqbal Open University, requires every student of MBA to go an internship program of Eight Weeks in a recognized organization. The purpose of the internship is to bring the awareness in the students with the practice of knowledge of the discipline of business administration. For this purpose I completed my internship at SRSP, head office HR section situated at Defence, Peshawar, and many times spend in Peshawar district office of AUS-Aid PROGECT situated in National Bank Colony Warksak Road Peshawar and prepared this report.SRSP is the premier NGO of the country, So in 1989, Security Exchange Corporation of Pakistan (SECP) created SRSP licensed under section 42 of companys ordinance 1984. Earlier it was named as Sarhad Rural Support Corporation (SRSP) due to its some affiliation with the provincial government.The basic aim behind Establishment of SRSP by NWFP Govt is bridge the gap between the poor and his development along with the assistance of and guidance of SRSP staff. The human resource any country is capable of achieving anything but the question Would they receive any proper attention from their Governments. And it is fact that every country is not a by birth a develop country. So as we all know it very well that most of the poverty of the world living the rural areas. In the presence of the fact the Pakistan Govt takes a step to make RSP network. Now there are some NGOs are working under such network. Who helps them to regenerate their resource among their human resource?The Human resources of an organization are their most important asset. The successes and failures of an organization are largely determined by the caliber and efforts of its work force. Thats why the HRD section of the SRSP was established in the early 1996. The world is demanding to alleviate poverty in order to stop the social evils. For that purpose development of the Human resource is vital. HRD section of SRSP focuses on the development of both the employees and the community. The world is now funding underdeveloped countries, like Pakistan, upgrade their Human Recourse and develop them.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The main purpose of this study is to fulfill the requirements of master of business Administration Degree at the University of AIOU .Human resource is the most important Intellectual Asset of any organization.

The basic aim behind Established of SRSP by NWFP Government is to bridge the gap between the poor and their development along with the assistance and guidance of SRSP staff. The human resource of any country is capable of achieving anything but the question Would they receive any proper attention from their Government s. And it is fact that every country is not by birth a develop country. So as well all know it very well that most of poor people of the world live in the rural areas. Pakistan Government has developed a network known as RSP network .Ten NGO,s are working under this Network to help rural communities.

2.8.2 VISION Managing self sustaining self-management financially viable grassroots institution for poverty reduction2.8.3 MISSION Harnessing peoples potential to help them through establishing a network of grass roots institution for poverty reduction, sustainable and equitable development2.8.4 SRSP OBJECTIVES The objectives of SRSP are:Building resource base of the poor and remove infrastructure constrains utilizing potential existing in communities.Expending the frontiers of finance by providing access to credit to the poorer segments of the population.Building social capital by mobilizing communities for poverty reduction, livelihoods and sustainable development.Enhancing individual capacities for leadership &organizational capacity for internal and external environment. Enabling communities to link up with providers of social services.2.8.5 THE LANDSCAPE The physical landscape of Sarhad Rural Support Program starts ranges from the lowest planes of Karak District in the South KPK with an elevation of only 600 meters to as high as 3,658 meters of Chitral Districts in the North KPK.SRSP is operation in 11 out of the 22 districts of KPK. These 11 districts are spread over an area of 35,437 square kilometers. The 11 districts have a combined population of 8.575 millions .There are 446 union councils in 11 districts. If the physical terrain of its regions located in the North is difficult, than the social terrain of its regions located in the central part and south of KPK present different kinds of predicaments. The principles of social mobilization remain the same but the approach adopted, in reaching out to people for contact ,demand flexibility. The travelling to people in the north involves hazardous journeys on jeeps, and by fool. The distances are measured not in kilometers but in time. In the south it is not the difficult traveling options but conservatism of the people to accept the program willingly, which in turn presents and undoubting task of facing par latent opposition, Turing violent at times. The September 11 event has opened new viataa of donor funding to Pakistan presented threats of program closures at the same time. The severity of the situation at least in the central and south KPK .This was a case of Afghan crises spillover .Political problems in that country immediately placed KPK in a different perspective than the rest of Pakistan .The business of social mobilization ,as a direct consequence of external and internal situation in SRSP program areas, present a different physical and social landscape and therefore .is imbued with challenges country to face by down-country similar programs .

2.8.6 THE NATURAL ECONOMY In the Northwest frontier Province, agriculture is the principal economic activity but 70% of the land ,being mountainous ,is not fit for efficient productive agriculture. Only about 25% of the remaining land is irrigated. The rain fed areas generally produces only one crop a year. The province is essentially a Land of small Landholder farmers 90% of the farms are less than 5 hectares. Although the province has only 13% of the country, s population, it has 40% of Pakistanis farms less than 0.4 hectares and 30% of the farms less than 2 hectares. KPK, a net deficit province, lacks the capacity to invest in programs to raise living standards of rural people. The annual population growth rate of the province is 3.06 %.According to the 1981 census; the literacy rate is 17%.The literacy rate for females is even lower, i.e. 6.5 %. According to the UNDP Report (1996) 40% of the population lives below the poverty line identified with US 1$ per capita. It is in this backdrop that the sarhad Rural Support Program, a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization committed to the poverty reduction and the sustainable & equitable development of the area, started its activities.

The donors to evaluate the overall program activities thereby highlighting achievements and making recommendations for future improvements also conduct mid-term and yearly reviews.PLANNING SUPPORT PMER section facilitates the short term and long term strategic planning process by introducing various modules e.g. the logical framework analysis. The use of these modules will assist section in systematic and holistic planning of activities and projects, setting realistic targets and gaining a picture of the wider objectives and impact of the program.STRATEGIC PLANNING Due to the ever changing socioeconomic environment and the needs of the people is also changing so SRSP will respond positively by revising its strategy after every four to five years to appropriately address the practical need of the people and this is done by a series of interactive dialogues with the concerned section, staff and the communities. ANNUAL PLANNING The annual planning will base on past performances, the meeting of targets ,continuous assessment and appropriate adjustment of programs and activities .and agreements reached with the government and with the donors.MONITORINGFor regular monitoring information is necessary for the improvements in program, regular monitoring of activities at the field level as well as through evaluation studies is carried out . In 1994, the PMER (Planning Monitoring, Evaluation and Research) had design a monitoring system from the field to the Head Office level for the purpose of regular monitoring.EVALUATION Case studies are most useful in assessing program impact. These cover technical as well as institutional aspect of the program PMER has put greater emphasis on conducting evaluation of program activities in the field. For this purpose they pursued two strategies :First training field staff for writing their own case studies because they actually involved in implementing program components. Second more in depth and less frequent, analytical case studies assessing the longer term impacts and progression towards sustainable development. RESEARCH Although research is also one of the function of PMER section but they have not started it yet .3.1.2 SOCIAL SECTOR AND GENDER ISSUE SECTION (SS & GI) 3, 1.3 THE SOCIAL AND GENDER ISSUE SECTION OF SRSP DEALS IN

All the programmers in education sector are for primary level.Community based schools (CBS) and adultery centers are established after a detailed survey. For establishing of schools willingness of community is required. The communities should be ready to run the schools on self help basis.After this situational analysis a village education community (VEC) is formed. It consists of 6 members, males & 3 females.Their main job is record keeping, which includes record of enrollment, existing facilities, required facilities &selection of teacher as well.

3.1.7 CREDIT & ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT SECTION (C & EW)SRSP drew up a credit policy, which was implemented in January 1995. According to the policy WCO is the most equitable and sustainable receiving mechanism through which credit can be channeled to the most disadvantaged, particularly women. The credit and enterprise development section realizes that credit is becoming more and more significant in supplementing foam incomes, as there is a drastic increase in population and subsequent land fragmentation. OBJECTIVESFollowing are the objectives of Credit and Enterprise Development program: Increase the access to credit for productive purpose for the WCOs.Ensure that the local pool of capital generated by the WCO,s is able to meet the credit needs of the members in the future by leveraging against funds from institutional credit sources . Institutionalism marketing system within and with WCO,s for a sustainable and self generating demand for community products and services.The Credit enterprise Development components of SRSP aims to correct traditional neglect of rural poor by institutional credit source by providing them with easy access to credit .In order to increase the income of rural people, this section offers not only loans but also training in enterprise development to start small business in their villages. A farmer being marginal in nature, the SRSP program seeks to meet the needs of framers through providing easy access to credit. Loans and training are offered to farmers to increase farm production and to develop micro-enterprise in order to reduce dependence on the traditional, informal and often exploitative lending source. STRATEGY The community and women organization can avail of credit for livestock, micro-enterprise and agriculture. Regular and compulsory savings are necessary as communities use this capital for non lending purposes. It was essential to first create a capital pool for lending purposes. SRSP however has a pool of capital (donors, funds) which it lends out as part of regular credit to villagers. For this purpose it is necessary that the credit is easily available to the rural poor and the most important is to identify an activist within each CO/WOs who will take the responsibility for the repayment of loans. The operational strategy for this purpose is to identify democratic person with the help of SOs (social organization) MCO/WCOs. After this the credit need will be identified and activist will submit a credit demand to SRSP. So after this the loan will be sanctioned by the SRSP. The village activist will be held responsible for the disbursement and recovery of the loans. The SO,s can do monitoring of loans periodically.

3.1.8 FINANCE SECTIONFUNCTINS OF FINANCE DEPARTMENT Following are the functions of finance section of SRSP. They have developed a program called FIS (Finance Information System) in Oracle. With the help of this program all the information about different regions and donors can be obtained. We can know that how many donors are working in a particular region. Funds are transferred to the finance section of Head office , then according to the demands from regions and districts by name cross cheque is given to the communities by the finance section. One of the functions of the finance section is guidance to the regional staff. Annual budgeting is also done by finance section: future forecasting and financial policies are also made by finance department of Head Office. They submit reports to donors in order to attract them towards SRSP. They made strategies and policies for effective utilization of funds, so that the donors can be made satisfied. Audit is also one of the important functions of finance department. Audit or inspection of project is also done and an up to date record is maintained by them. Entry for bank payments/receipts, cash payments and journal Vouchers (J.V) is also done by them.

CHAPTER ---4 HUMAN RESOURSE MANAGEMENTPeople are definitely a companys greatest assets .It doesnt make any difference whether the product is cars or cosmetics. A company is only as good as the people it keeps Mary Kay Ash4.1 WHATS IS HUMAN RESOURSE MANAGEMENT (HRM)Work that involves planning administering or evaluating program designed to develop employees and manage learning in the organization.Human Resource Management is the process of enhancing the potential of people (as individuals and groups) to perform better in all spheres of life. Peoples potential can be developed through training and capacity building access to opportunities, and access to environment, which supports their development.4.1.1 IMPORTANCE OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION In a world in which information, raw material and technology move freely across evaporate and national borders ,the bulk of an organizations assets are interchangeable with those of any other organization .Only one assets holds the power to differentiate I the environment : a dedicated ,productive ,innovative work force .No longer can organization afford to devalue and demoralize their workers to succeed at the expense of those who help make success possible . Employees are considered to be the means of giving value to the organization. Human resource is considered as the most important Intellectual assets of any organization. Intellectual Assets can be defined as the sum total of the knowledge, skills competencies. That an organization possesses and channelize for constructive production .The enhancing realization and awareness that an organization, s external effectiveness, productivity and profitability are built on the foundation of the effective human resources has brought into sharp focus the need for higher levels of sensitization to the human side of the enterprise.

Organization are increasingly focusing ,and rightly so, on the management and development of Human Resources .As there is nothing more exciting ,more challenging ,than dealing with the strategic dimensions of the Human Resource (HR).The human resource of an organization ,which is one of te most important stakeholders ,is not only the beneficiary but also one of the critical doers .This has led to a growing awareness that the productive utilization of human resources is the key to overall organizational success. Whatever, the organizational structure and goals may be but to cater the threat of globalization they must develop their human resources or other wise they will drown in the global cross currents. In May 1998, at a brain storming session of the UNDP Dr: Mahboob-Ul-Haq presents the idea like this.If globalization was supper imposed on a poorly educated and poorly trained labor force with poor system of governess and infrastructure it would not lead to growth nor does it reduce poverty. Prior to mid 1960,s personnel department in organization was often perceived the Health & Happiness .Their primary job activities involved planning company picnics, scheduling vacations ,enrolling workers for health care coverage and planning retirements parties that have certainly change during the past three decades. Federal and state laws have many new requirements concerning hiring and employees practices on employees. Job have also changed and they have become mere technical and require employees with greater skills .Further more the job boundaries are becoming blurred. Therefore , the importance of Human Resource management HR department has increases and now human resources have become a competitive advantage if they are properly employed .4.1.2 BACKGROUND OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF SRSP Human Resource management section was established at the SRSP in early 1996.personal and training & development departments were operating as separate departments in starts bur after sometime both of the departments were merged . Keeping in view the process of institutional development for poverty alleviation from grassroots in the rural communities of KPK of Pakistan.Establishment of these section was extremely essential in the sense that SRSP is committed to form and empower community organizations for addressing the needs and priorities of the impoverished communities ,and a systematic building of capacities in these poverty stricken areas was not possible without the assistance of a professional HRM section .Moreover ,staff development was also on the agenda of SRSP but there was no staff available to coordinate activities and do the necessary arrangements for the staff training .So the HRM section was established to work as a vehicle for interaction and networking with development agencies along with taking responsibilities for the above- mentioned functions.

Since its establishment HRM section has organized different activities relating to different tiers of project operation i.e. the community, SRSP staff and other agencies and organizations working with the same aims and objectives. The section has aimed at identifying individuals at village levels and developing their managerial and technical skills. Secondly, it equipped SRSP staff with a conceptual understanding of issues relating to participatory development. Lastly, it provided training facilities to other to development. All these developments and achievements clearly indicate that it was essential to establish an HRM section at SRSP for making it self reliant in relation to its training needs, as it could not depend upon any other organization for focused, contextualized and sustained training for its partner communities and its spirited staff. Since its establishment the HRM section has been focusing on the training of community members and building the capacity of the identified activist through different leadership and management related coursed as SRSP strives to enable the community members to augment their capacity for improved management of their communities in their struggle towards empowerment and poverty alleviation at the grassroots level. HRM is also focusing on basic and advance courses for its own and staff of other government and line agencies. HRM training for the professionals and communities have specially been made suitable and flexible enough to respond to their training needs. With the passage of time and increased experience in the field, HRM section is incorporating new course according to the feedback to the need and feedback from the previous trainings.4.1.3 OBJECTIVES OF HRM Human Resource Management (HRM) section at SRSP strives to provide and upgrade technical and managerial skills of both the staff and communities so that together they can improve management and leadership of the communities for the purpose of poverty deduction at the grassroots level. .4.1.4 MANPOWER POSITION IN SRSP The Sarhad Rural Support Program has a total of seven departments at its Head Office. According to the organizational profile of SRSP September 2005 of man-power position of SRSP includes 308 employees, among which 237 are professional staff while 161 are support staff. It has a total of 398 members out of which 63 are women and 335 are male.4.1.5 HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SETUP OF SRSP,s The Human Resource manager who is normally called as the program manager .Administrators heads the HRM section in the regions indirectly and at the Head Office. This is due to the reason that SRSP has adopted a de-centralized policy for their management structure. The chief admin & HRM leads the following teams in SRSP: Program Manager HRM Manager administrator HRM officer Assistant Admin Intern HR

4.2 PERSONAL MANAGEMENTTo embed our values, we give our people 360 degree evaluation with input from superiors , peers and subordinates .These are the roughest evaluations you get because people hear things about themselves they have never heard before. John F. Welch Once the future demand for human resources is projected, the next major concern is filling projected opening , there are three sources of supply ;internal and external and head hunting . The internal supply consists of present employees who can be promoted, adjusted to fill expected openings.4.2.1 FUNCTIONS OF HR DEPARTMENT Human Resources management plays an important role and are responsible for all Human resources related activities i.e. Recruitment Staffing Salary Time sheet and attendance Promotion Time Manage Performance appraisals Leaves Administrating other facilities (parts and benefits) offered by the SRSP to the employee for their valuable services rendered to the SRSP. This department is working in the SRSP since its anticipation in 1996. The HR department is maintaining all Human Management force records for salary, leaves qualification and promotion through Management information system.

4.2.2 STAFFING STRATEG: A company decisions regarding where to find employees, how to select them, the max of employees skill and strength. We can no longer hire individuals haphazardly we must have a well defined reason for needing individuals who posses specific skills, knowledge, and abilities that are directly linked to specific jobs required in organization.

a: EMPLOYMENT PLANNING/HR PLANNING Process of determining organizations human resources needs Employment planning is one of the important elements in a successful human resources management program, because it is the process by which an organization ensures that it has right number and kind of people, at the right place , at the right time capable of effectively & efficiently completing those tasks that will help the organization to achieve its overall strategic objectives. SRSP,s employment planning depends on the projects .Whenever SRSP gets a new project they require new staff.When the project is completed than the managing staff of HRM arrange meeting & they decide what to do with the staff of that project, if they can be accommodated in the office than they are accommodated in the office ,if they cannot be accommodated than they are given one month prior notice & next time when they get a new project than they do consider staff of previous project.

b: JOB ANALYSIS After getting new project job analysis is done. In job analysis detailed information is examined about job duties in order to prepare job descriptions .These descriptions explain the duties, training, and skills that each job requires. This job analysis is used in making Job description &job specification. JOB DESCRIPTION & JOB SPECIFICATION These steps are very useful in identifying the knowledge, skills, experience & education required to fill the vacancies.C: WORKFORCE ANALYSIS Work force analysis is done on the basis of the job description .Based on this information recruiting, selection, training & development are done.

RECRUITMENT Recruitment involves attracting candidates to fill the position in the organization structure The process of discovering potential candidates for actual and anticipated organizational vacancies are called recruitment .This is the way to fill the human resource needs of the organization.Recruitment in SRSP is done by two ways. Internal Advertisement External Advertisement

INTERNAL RECRUITMENT After work force analysis if they feel that the vacancies can be filled by the own staff of SRSP then through internal advertisement they select people from their own organization.

EXTERNAL RECRUITMENTWhen the vacancies be filled by the SRSP staff then the vacancies are advertised externally .There are different types of external advertisement. It can be done through advertisements in news papers , head hunting , by reference, they sometimes hire people from sister NGOs .In advertisement they advertise the required qualification, age, experience & skills etc e SHORT LISTING After the applications are received the next step is short listing. HRM short lists those applications.Call letters are sent to the potential candidates in whom date, time ,and place of interviews are mentioned.f INTERVIEWS PANEL A panel or interview committee is formed. This panel consists of 4-5 members .One person should be from concerned department member from HRD section are also present in the panel.g TEST If computer literacy is required then computer test is conducted ,written test will be conducted in case of selection in PMER section or report Writer h SELECTION The next step is selection, appointment letter is sent to the selected person and copies are sent to all concerned departments including personal file. A contract letter is signed by the selected candidate and CEO.i. PERSONAL FILE An up to date personal file is also maintained for each and every employee, who contains all the information, related the employee e.g. Name Father name/ Permanent address Date of appointment Up gradation Performance evaluation form Copy of job description Copy of national identity card etc. j PROBATION PERIOD The selected candidate is selected on the basis of six months probation period. At the end oof probation period a form known as Performance Evaluation sheet is filled by the employee , in this form information regarding all the activities the employee has performed during the probation period is entered.This PR form is then filled by the concerned section/ immediate supervisor also , they give their comments ,then this form is sent to the HRM section ,on the basis of this sheet the employee is regularized .This form is also put in the personal file.

k ORIENTATION Orientation involves the introduction of new employees to the enterprise, its function, tasks and peopleSRSP also try to arrange orientation training for their new employee s. This orientation can be formal and can be informal.l FORMAL ORIENTATION When the selected employees are large in number then arrange a formal orientation at Human Resource Management center. All the departments are formally introduced by the member of concerned departments; he/she tells the employees about the objective function of concerned department .They are also given handouts.m INFORMAL ORIENTATION When there are one or two new employees they are sent to be the different departments of SRSP so that they can know about the working of the different departments and can know about other employees working in organization.4.2.3 MOTIVATION

The participants are selected on the basis of good performance in level II .Some of the contents are derived from level II but with more detail while some of the course are totally new. It also builds their capacity as trainers. This course is also planned in different disciplines like agriculture, livestock and health.CONFERENCES An efficient way of providing information to the communities is made through manger conferences. The line agencies attend such conferences. The line agencies disseminate information about their departments and communities get an opportunity to express their grievances, thus making the linkages between the community and line departments more sustainable. The community leaders also exchange their experience of working with people.AUDIO VISUAL Those issues or points, which cannot be easily presented in normal training sessions, are explained through audio and video techniques. Even audiocassettes are provided to the community members for their personal uses so that they are able to take benefits out of it on permanent basis.1 THEATER An effective way of communicating with the communities, disseminating information, developing their skills a creating awareness is through theaters. Though SRSP at the moment does not have any such communication technique but consider it a viable way of communities development. Activist during LMST courses had shown their potential through Role-Play on many organizational and cultural issues. Such activities can be identified and developed into threat group.2 EXPOSURE VISIT Exposure visits are arranged by the community members and staff so that they are able to take benefit of the experience and achievements of other communities and programmers and could analyze their own organizational capacity.3 NRM TRAININGNeed based technical training is imparted to the villagers in agriculture, livestock, enterprise, forestry, health, and nutrition discipline. Other fields of agriculture training are: Mushroom culture, Book keeping, integrated pest Management, sunflower cultivation and promotion, etc. Technical training is imparted to the villagers in agriculture, livestock, and enterprise, forestry, health and nutrition disciplines. All training is need based .Villagers express their need for training in a general body meeting of community organization /Women, s organization. The need for training is forwarded to SRSP in the form of a resolution signed by a majority of members. ENTERPRISE TRAINING The credit and enterprise is a vital program of SRSP, which is designed to increase rural communities, access to credit for productive purposes. In this context, the credit program helps the members of CO/WOs to meet their credit needs by arranging access to credit through its own and institutional credit sources. Furthermore, the CED program encourages micro enterprise development to achieve higher productivity and increased Incomes for the rural communities. Additionally the CED helps institutionalize Marketing systems within and with CO/WOs for a sustainable and self generating demand for community products and services.In this regard, Human Resource Development Section has Section has Assumed responsibilities for training the communities and has initiated several training courses for the members nominated by the community Organizations. These training courses include basic accountancy skill to theTrainees such training schedules have the potential of increasing the quality Of record keeping within the CO/WOs and enabling SRSP to expand its CED operations organically. Successful training program have been launched aiming at increased self employment opportunities. Such proggrammes focus on the skills in demand such as welding, tailoring Etc. Improved technologies such as mini wheat threshers, incubators, moldboard ploughs and peanut sellers have been demonstrated to the villagers and some of these were sold to the communities as well.4 HEALTH AND EDUCATION Intervention within the health sector are undertaken by SRSP in recognition of the fact that health needs are often identified as the primary needs of poor , rural communities particularly the women folk. The health program aims at improving the overall health status of village communities by creating local capacity in the village through the training of health workers, raising general awareness about issues of health and hygiene and linking communities with existing service outlets.Moreover, Gender development also comes under the main responsibilities of HRD section .A workshop on gender awareness based on Gender development approach was held in 1996 with representation from all the program regions. Similar workshops will be arranged in the entire program regions as well . HRD intends to work in partnership with SS & G section for spreading gender awareness across the organization.SRSP runs the largest HRD program for women in the KPK .Women who live under struck socio-cultural norms are encouraged to get trained in various sector i.e. agriculture , enterprise ,livestock , forestry ,education ,health ,and nutrition. The training in the social sector intends to improve womens health, nutrition and education by creating awareness and dispensing technical expertise at the local level.4.3.9 CAPACITY BUILDING PROJECT FOR STAFF TRAINING The closing of last century brought many challenges to SRSP. Many projects that SRSP initiated with the help of different donors were coming to close. It included Mansehra Village Support Project (MVSP) funded by IFAD, Barani Area Development Project (BADP) .Novib funded project in Charsada. This project had given a new vision to the communities where they could take the regions of destiny in their own hands. However there was a need for continuity of such project or programs. The success of different participatory development project had encouraged SRSP to expand its activities to other parts of the province as well .Thus on one hand SRSP had the pressure to find new donors for continuation of their poverty reduction projects and on the other hand it had the desire to expend to the new areas.The problems of SRSP were multiplied manifold when differences occurred between SRSP and the government. At that time despite the great achievements in the province, the BADP and MVSP closed at a strained note with the government .Also in Charsada, the changes in social fabric, which SRSP strive , yielded results. The traditional power structure was threatened which raised a huge cry against SRSP. SRSP was dubbed as spreading vulgarity and disbelief among the faithful. The credit which SRSP had disbursed among the communities was stuck for various reasons. The quality of physical infrastructure schemes among the communities was also questioned and serious charges of malpractice and corruption were leveled against SRSP. Thus it was a hard time for SRSP both externally and internally. To carry SRSP vision of poverty reduction in KPK, many proposals were developed and lot of negotiations took place with the donors. IT was in this context that SRSP in 1998 carried out a preliminary survey in the southern districts of KPK to assess the possibility of poverty reduction project in these districts of KPK. The initial information collected by SRSP, showed a high level of poverty in the areas, on the basis of which SRSO proposed a project for alleviating poverty in this region. Many donors were contacted at that time that within the present capacity of SRSP, it would not be possible to make such an expansion. On this basis it was suggested that a two-year capacity building project would be more important for SRSP before its expansion for other parts of KPK .Accordingly , DFID approved two year capacity building project for SRSP with a total funding of 1.83 million pounds. The overall objective of the proposal was to strengthen SRSP to create a greater depth in its program, expand its coverage and support to the government in decentralization.

CHAPTER 5 ANALYSIS5.1 HRD ANALYSIS 5.1 CAREER DEVELOPMENT Career development consists of the personal actions of one Undertakes to achieve a career plan. These actions may be sponsored By HR development or the manager, or they may be undertaken Independently of the HR department There is a lot of opportunity for the career development of the Employees in SRSP. SRSP is working on various different kinds of Projects in different areas of NWFP. A person working in SRSP Can gain a lot of experience from that. On the other hand SRSP also help their employees in developing Their career paths. Sarhad rural support programme gives financial support to their employees if they want to go for further studies or they want to any refresher courses.Sarhad rural support programme gives study leave to their employees which can be for two or more then two years. Sarhad rural support programme arranged training for their employees for Their career development.HRD Section of SRSP also conducts a series of courses in organization development & human excellence for the staff. The main objective of The training is personality development and to discover extraordinary Talents, self _discipline, and create depens mechanism syndromes of Staff membersSarhad Rural Support Program also sends their employees for Training to the other organizations for training & sometimes they Finance them as well. If SRSP is introducing new techniques or Technologies they give trainings to their employees.All these activities are very beneficial for the employees as well as for the organization in long run.5.1.2 EMPLOYEE RELATIONS Employee relations include all the practices that implement the philosophy & policy of an organization with respect to employment. Employee Relations have a number of major accountabilities. Their first & foremost Responsibility is to maintain & ensure an open communication system. Fostering An environment where employees talk directly to supervisors & settle any differences That may arise.There is an open communication system between the management and employees in SRSP.The lower staff can communicate with the management very easily. Through an informal chat with the lower staff it is observed that lower staff of SRSP is very satisfied with their management behavior.There exists a very friendly environment role HRD department is responsible for collecting statistics, tabulating it , and making organizations affirmative action plan documentation.SRSP every year arrange a function called Retreat. In this all the employees of head office and regions come together and perform some skits. Through this function they can be able to know each other and it create friendly environment.5.1.3 WORK LOAD/ ATRESS This refers the duties and responsibilities, hours of work ,complexity of the job and other aspects of the job under consideration. In general the upper management and line staffs are over worked. While the middle managements under worked but this is not the case in all departments. Some of the departments are overstaffed and hence the line staff is under worked.Some of the employees do not complete their assignments in time.A lot of time is wasted in other activities like either chatting with each other or on the phone due to which there is always a lot of pending work.5.1.4 UNPLANNED ACTIVITIES Most of the activities of SRSP are unplanned but one can not blame the SRSP for this. As SRSP is service providing organization and their projects depends on the donors funding, due to the sudden visits of the donors, sudden meetings etc often their planned activities are delayed.Due to the sudden visits of the donors HRD section cannot plan for long run because of the new staff requirements new training requirements depending on the new projects.5.1.5 COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS An organizational reward system includes anything an employee values and desires that an employer is able and willing to offer in exchange for employee contributions.
