STAFF ROLE OF THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF THE BANKThe Human Resource department of the bank operates in an auxiliary, advisory, or facilitative relationship to other departments in the organization. Any staff unit, whether it be personnel or otherwise, exists to help the line effectively. It has been created in the first place to take advantage of specialized talent and knowledge.The H.R department of the bank generally performs the following roles:1.Initiation and formulation

2.Advice

3.Service

4.Control

POLICY INITIATION AND FORMULATIONThe executive in charge of the H.R.Department is the individual most actively involved in policy revision to cover recurring problem or to prevent anticipated problems. Ordinarily these are proposed to the president of the company, and it is up on the latters authority that the policy is actually issued. When proposing a new or revised policy the personnel director must analyze problem that have occurred in the past, survey other companies to determine how they handle similar situations, discuss the matter with colleagues and subordinates and give due consideration to the prevailing philosophy in the organization.

ADVICEA major portion of the activities of those engaged in staff personnel work is in the nature of counsel and advice to line manager. Countless examples can be given. A shop foreman may be confronted with a grievance over distribution of overtime. Another foreman may have the problem employee who he feels should be disciplined or even suspended. At the time of the annual review of all salaried personnel for possible pay increases, the operating manager plays a key role in advising operating manager on the administration of the program. An apparent concerted slow down may occur in the assembly department. It may have been instituted by the union in retaliation for the cutting of piece rates the week before. How should production supervision handle this situation.The H.R.Managers and their staffs are expected to be fully familiar with H.R. policy, the labour agreement, past experience and the needs and welfare of both the company and the employees in order to develop a sound solution. Successful personnel specialist must be people centered. They must be feeling sensitive, wants, and motives of other people. At the same time they must continually be cognizant of their obligation to preserve the structure and functioning of the organization. In fact, this really is the essence of H.R. management. Management must seek to so direct and coordinate the efforts of the people that the goals of the organization are achieved while at the same time providing need satisfactions for the members of that organization.

SERVICEThe service responsibilities of the H.R. department are apparent when one examines such things are as the employment, training, and benefits functions. The tasks of recruiting, interviewing and testing job applicants are performed in the H.R.Deptt.. Training programs are planned, Organized and often staffed through the H.R.Deptt. H.R.Deptt must see that adequate instructional materials and facilities are available. Once pension and insurance programs have been setup, all claims must be through the H.R.Deptt. The maintenance of adequate employee records is a service function that permeates all functional specialties within the personnel field.

ControlThe H.R.Deptt carries out important control functions. It monitors the performance of line department and other staff departments to insure that they conform to established personnel policy, procedures, and practices. The control function of the personnel department is quite comparable to the activities of a quality control group that measures product variables to insure conformance to engineering specifications or to the activities of the auditing staff that inspects accounting records to ascertain conformance with prescribed standards.

HUMAN RESOURCEDEPARTMENT FUNCTIONSH.R. Management activities are carried on both by the staff H.R.Deptt and by operating management in the course of directing the activities of the work force. Variation from the pattern described may occur in particular companies because of special circumstances.This function includes recruitment, selection, and induction into the organization. The initial decision to add someone to the payroll is made by line management. It is also its responsibility to determine the content of the job to be performed and the employee qualifications necessary to perform the job satisfactorily. Very commonly, statements of job content and employee qualification have been previously worked out jointly between line management and the H.R.Deptt. These are recorded in the form of job descriptions and job specification. The H.R.Deptt must develop and maintain adequate sources of labour. It must set up and operate the employee selection system, which may include interviews, selection tests, a medical examination, and reference checks. Quite commonly the role of the H.R.Deptt is one of screening with the final decision to hire or reject being made by the supervisor who requested the new employee. However, in the case of large-scale hiring program of unskilled or skilled workers, the H.R.Deptt is commonly granted full and final authority to make the hiring decision.The new employees supervisor bears Important responsibilities for introducing his/her to the new work environment. This is often called orientation or indoctrination.

TRANSFER, PROMOTION, LAYOFFFor these tasks the H.R.Deptt serves primarily in a coordinative capacity. When employees are moved from one department to another either because of the needs of the business or because of individual requests, the personnel records may be studied to ascertain that they posses the requisite skills. Layoffs typically are processed by the H.R.Deptt to insure that the proper order of preference is followed. This can become complicated of combinations of jobs, departmental, and plant wide seniority rights must be observed. When a vacancy occurs in a position, it may be filled by promotion from within or by direct hiring from outside the company. This decision is often made jointly between the H.R.Manager and the executive in change of the department where the vacancy has occurred. Many companies may establish policies to cover matters of this type. The actual final decision as to which candidate is chosen for the promotion is largely made by the executive in whose unit the vacancy has occurred.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENTOn-the-job training and coaching are performed by the line supervisor or by a specially designated employee who acts in the role of an instructor. It is the responsibility of the personnel industrial relations group to determine training needs in cooperation with the line management. Once the needs are established, the personnel training specialists must design a program to accomplish the desired results. If the program takes the form of in service class room courses, it usually is administrated by H.R.Department. Coaching, performance appraisal, and post appraisal counseling, job rotation, understudies, and special broadening assignments are largely executed by operating managers but coordinated by a central H.R.Deptt.For those enterprise that are engaging in an organization development activity the personal manager or the personnel staff.For those enterprise that are engaging in an organization development activity the H.R.Manager serves in a consulting role to an operating department. He plans programs in cooperation with managers of operating departments, diagnoses people problems, conducts various workshop type programs, and provides feedback to the managers about ongoing problems.

COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATIONThe work of designing and installing a job evaluation program is handled, for the part, by the H.R. department with some consultation with line managers . The decision to adopt a particular pay structure with pay grades and fixed minimums and maximums for the grades is a top management responsibility.The day-to-day work of analyzing jobs, evaluating their worth according to a formal job evaluation plan, and maintaining suitable records is are H.R.deptt.functions Periodic wage are conducted by the H.R.deptt, but any firm decision to rise or change the entire schedule is particularly always reserved for the chief executive officer of the organization.

HEALTH AND SAFETYA significant part on occupational health programs is the identification and control of agents within the working environment that can cause occupational diseases. some agents may be gases, dusts, fumes, toxic chemicals and metals, noise, heat, radiation, biological substances and stress. Industrial hygienists are employed to identify and control such hazards to health.Other important elements of an employee health programs are pre-employment medical examinations, periodic examinations for those working on jobs having exposure to occupational disease-causing agents, rendering of first aid, treatment of minor ailments such as colds and headache, and providing health education information. Small companies typically hire physicians, nurses and industrial hygienists only on the consulting and part time basis. Large firms tend to be staffed with full time personnels in these areas.The safety program is directed toward the prevention of work injuries. The main element are engineering , education and enforcement. The safety director who I usually a member of HR department works closely with the plant engineering unit to have machines and equipment properly guarded. New production processes and machines must be o designed and constructed so that possibility of human injury is remote.

DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGEDiscipline has two principal meanings. In the first sense it means training that molds or corrects. This means the achieving and maintaining of orderly employee behavior because the people understand and believe in the established codes of conduct. The second meaning of the term discipline refers to punishment of wrongdoers.The H.R. department commonly assumes the responsibility for formulating the list of necessary rules together with the range of penalties for each together with the range of penalties for each offense. Frequently this list of rules and penalties is discussed and cleared with high-level line management before it is issued and communicated throughout the organization.Most commonly, actual approval by the H.R.department has to be obtained before and employee may be discharged. The reason is that discharge is a very serve penalty and should be used only when a very clear case can be shown. In addition, it is especially vital to achieve companywide uniformity in the handling of such cases.

LABOR RELATIONSWhen a union has been certified by the national labor relations Board, as the result of an election, as the sole and exclusive bargaining agency for the employees, then management must bargain with it in regard to wages, rate of pay, hours of work, and other conditions of employment. The principal tasks involved in handling labor relations are contract negotiation, contract interpretation and administration, and grievance handling.The H.R.department plays very significant role in labor-management relations. The director of industrial relation usually serves as a key member of the bargaining team often acting a chief management spokesman. In operating on a day-to-day basis under the terms of the labor agreement, line supervision often finds frequently occasion to consult the H.R.department regarding such matters like allocation of over time, handling of transfers and layoffs, and the application of contract work rules.

BENEFITS AND SERVICESIncluded under this category are pensions, group life insurance, hospital and medical insurance, sickness leave pay plans, supplemental unemployment compensation, loan funds, credit unions, social programs, recreational programs and college tuition refunds plans.The actual decision to establish or to expand these programs is nearly always made by top line management upon the advice and consultation of the H.R.department. The actual design of pension and insurance programs requires a great deal of technical knowledge. These programs are generally worked out in conjunction with insurance companies or insurance consultants. After these plans are installed, the day-to-day processing of claims is handled by the H.R.department
