EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/INTRODUCTION

In spite of theoretical knowledge gained through classroom study, a person is

incomplete if not subjected to practical exposure of real corporate world and the

challenges and problems that one has to face at the actual work place.

In this context the study has been taken to make the person aware of happening of

the real business world. The project entitled REWARDS AND RECOGNITION FOR

STAFF AND OFFICERS

with the special reference to HINDUSTAN LEVER

LIMITED has been done in GURGAON as a summer training part of MBA program and

it helped me in understanding about the policies and procedures of a company and how

these should be formulate together so that they solve the real purpose. It also gave me a

chance to have an interaction with people at real workplace who are working at different

positions with different authorities and responsibilities.

The generosity & the patience of these people for spending their valuable time for

having discussions and interactions has also been a rich experience for me.

The study was made to formulate a manual by collecting relevant information about the

contents with the help of Questionnaire survey and face to face interaction with the HR

MANAGERS & HR OFFICERS of 7 other companies as well from the valuable

information & suggestions provided by the members of HLL itself (people from different

departments and the sales force members). Secondary data was collected from the other

manuals provided by the HR department and website of the company.

The final outcome of the study is various schemes of rewards and recognitions for

staff and officers of HLL, which will help them in getting motivated and improvising

their performances at work place

Page 6: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

OBJECTIVE/SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The working forces of HLL all play a significant role in the continuous progress

of the company. Hence it is essential to keep them motivated and keep their spirits high.

The broad objective of the study was to provide the working forces of HLL (Northern

Region) with some new reward and recognition schemes so that they could feel

appreciated and recognized and rewarded timely for their precious efforts as they are

the assets of the company. This is important to improve their performance and

efficiency.

The schemes prepared are prepared keeping various important things in mind

like: the employee class, tenure of the schemes (monthly, quarterly etc),the

criterion of judgment etc.

The target employees are the ones working within HLL, North India, Gurgaon.

The numbers of employees are approximately 110. These employee are at the officers

and the staff level .The criterion followed for measuring these schemes are:

performances, creativity/ innovation, potential etc.

Therefore in order to have a deep knowledge and understanding about what

should constitute the Reward and Recognition schemes for the working force, a study

was conducted (with the help of questionnaires) in 7 other companies, which is well

known as benchmarking

So the overall/primary objective was to make Reward and Recognition Scheme for the working force by going through the work plan of the concerned department and its employees within the branch, and without making any changes in the work plan setting certain milestones and allot point system for those milestones which could be further be implemented for the benefit of the working force of HLL (northern region).

PROFIT CENTRES

www.final-yearprojects.co.cc | www.troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/

Page 18: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

Each Profit Centre is self-sufficient with dedicated resources and assets in sales, marketing, commercial, and innovation and manufacturing. Some Profit Centres, like Detergents and Personal Products, in turn have been further reorganised into smaller self-sufficient business units around their categories with dedicated resources; they of course share certain resources of the Profit Centres to retain economies of scale.

Typically, each function within a Profit Centre - sales, marketing, commercial, and manufacturing - is headed by a General Manager or a Divisional Vice President. They, with the respective Executive Director, comprise that Profit Centre's Management Committee.

For managing sales operations, HLL divides the country into four regions, with regional branches in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai. Headed by a Regional Manager, they comprise Regional Sales Managers and Area Sales Managers for each Profit Centre, assisted by dedicated field forces, comprising Sales Employees and Territory Sales Incharges.

In Marketing, each category has a Marketing Manager who heads a team of Brand Managers dedicated to each or a group of brands. The Brand Managers, wherever appropriate, focus exclusively on brand strategy or implementation.

The commercial team of a Profit Centre is responsible for its supply chain management. There are teams dedicated to sourcing, planning and logistics. Each division has a nationwide manufacturing base, with each factory peopled by teams of Production, Engineering, Quality Assurance, Commercial and Personnel Managers.

DISTRIBUTION NETWORK OF HLL:

How do you ensure that Mr. Ramesh in Kanyakumari gets his Lifebuoy soap and Mrs. Kulkarni in Jammu gets to know how Bru coffee tastes even before she has bought it? Well, you need to have a cutting edge distribution network in place.

Hindustan Lever's distribution network is recognized as one of its key strengths. Its focus is not only to enable easy access to our brands, but also to touch consumers with a three-

PEOPLE EVERYWHERE.

Page 19: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

way convergence - of product availability, brand Communication and higher levels of brand experience.

HLL's products, manufactured across the country, are distributed through a network of about 7,000 redistribution stockiest covering about one million retail outlets. The distribution network directly covers the entire urban population.

The general trade comprises grocery stores, chemists, wholesale, kiosks and general stores. Hindustan Lever services each with a tailor-made mix of services. The emphasis is equally on using stores for direct contact with consumers, as much as is possible through in-store facilitators.

Supermarkets

self-service stores and supermarkets are fast emerging in metros and large towns. To service modern retailing outlets in the metros, HLL has set up a full-scale sales organization, exclusively for this channel. The business system delivers excellent customer service, while driving growth for the company and the store. At the same time, innovative marketing initiatives are taken to provide consumers with experience of its brands at the store itself, through product tests and in-store sampling.

Villages

HLL has also revamped its sales organization in the rural markets to fully meet the emerging needs and increased purchasing power of the rural population. The company has brought all markets with populations of below 50,000 under one rural sales organization. The team comprises an exclusive sales force and Exclusive redistribution stockiest, under the charge of dedicated managers. The team focuses on building superior availability, while enabling brand building in the deepest interiors. HLL's distribution network in rural India already directly covers about 50,000 villages, reaching about 250 million consumers, through about 6000 sub-stockiest.

IT

an IT-powered system has been implemented to supply stocks to redistribution stockiest on a continuous replenishment basis. The objective is to catalyze HLL's Growth by ensuring that the right product is available at the right place in right quantities, in the most cost-effective manner. For this, stockiest have been connected with the company through an Internet-based network, called RS Net, for online interaction on orders, dispatches, information sharing and monitoring. RS Net covers about 80% of the company's turnover. Today, the sales system gets to know every day what HLL stockiest have sold to almost a million outlets across the country. RS Net is part of Project Leap, HLL's end-to-end supply chain, which also includes a back-end system connecting suppliers, all company sites and stretching right upto stockiest.

CHANNELS

Hindustan Lever is simultaneously creating new channels, designed on the same principle of holistic contact with consumers.

PROJECT SHAKTI

Project Shakti is HLL's rural initiative, which targets small villages with population of less than 2000 people or less. It seeks to empower underprivileged rural women by providing income-generating opportunities, health and hygiene education through the Shakti Vani programme, and creating access to relevant information through the iShakti community portal.

In general, rural women in India are underprivileged and need a sustainable source of income. NGOs, governmental bodies and other institutions have been working to improve the status of rural women. Shakti is a pioneering effort in creating livelihoods for rural women, organized in Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and improving living standards in rural India. Shakti provides critically needed additional income to these women and their families, by equipping and training them to become an extended arm of the company's operation.

Started in 2001, Shakti has already been extended to about 50,000 villages in 12 states - Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Chattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and West Bengal. The respective state governments and several NGOs are actively involved in the initiative.

Shakti already has about 13,000 women entrepreneurs in its fold. A typical Shakti entrepreneur earns a sustainable income of about Rs.700 -Rs.1, 000 per month, which is double their average household income. Shakti is thus creating opportunities for rural women to live in improved conditions and with dignity, while improving the overall standard of living in their families. In addition, it involves health and hygiene programs, which help to improve the standard of Living of the rural community. Shakti's ambit already covers about 15 million rural population. Plans are also being drawn up to bring in partners involved in agriculture, health, insurance and education to catalyze overall rural development.

HLL's vision for Shakti is to scale it up across the country, covering 100,000 villages and touching the lives of 100 million rural consumers by 2005. Shakti Vani is a social communication programme. Women trained in health and hygiene issues, address village communities through meetings at schools, village baithaks, SHG meetings and other social fora. In 204, Shakti Vani has covered 10,000 villages in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Karnataka. The vision is to cover 50,000 villages in 2005.

iShakti, the Internet-based rural information service, has been launched in Andhra Pradesh, in association with the Andhra Pradesh Government's Rajiv Internet Village Programme. The service is now available in Nalgonda, Vishakapatnam, West Godavari and East Godavari districts. iShakti has been developed to provide information and

www.final-yearprojects.co.cc | www.troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/

Page 21: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

services to meet rural needs in medical health and hygiene, agriculture, animal husbandry, education, vocational training and employment and women's empowerment. The vision is to have 3,500 kiosks across the state by 2005.

HINDUSTAN LEVER NETWORK (HLN)

HLN is the company's arm in the Direct selling channel, one of the fastest

growing in India today. It already has about 3.5 lath consultants - all independent entrepreneurs, trained and guided by HLN's expert managers. HLN has already spread to over 1500 towns and cities, covering 80% of the urban population, backed by 42 offices and 240 service centers across the country. It presents a range of customized offerings in Home & Personal Care and Foods.

Out-of-Home consumption of products and services is a growing opportunity in India, as elsewhere in the world. Hindustan Lever is already the largest player in the hot beverages out-of-home segment, with over 15000 tea and coffee vending points. The company is expanding the network aggressively, in the education, entertainment, leisure and travel segments. HLL's alliance with Pepsi will significantly strengthen this channel.

Health & Beauty Services are Hindustan Lever's simultaneous foray to meet the increasing consumer need for such products and services. Lakme Salons provide specialized beauty services and solutions, under the recognized authority of the Lakme brand. The Ayush Therapy Centers provide easy access to authentic Ayurvedic treatments and products.

Hindustan Lever, which once pioneered distribution in India, is today reinventing distribution - creating new channels, and redefining the way current channels are serviced. In the process it is converging product availability, with brand communication and brand experience.

the office. This book talks about the achievements of the employee and gives them the peer recognition in this form.

5) TOTB:

Every individual in this world has a viewpoint and has an idea or a suggestion

waiting to pop out of his/her brain. So if these suggestions or ideas of the employees in the organization are used in a fruitful and an effective manner can work wonders for an organization. Thus it is really important to have an idea/suggestion management in an organization. This scheme of TOTB is a quarterly award. According to this scheme an issue can be put up in the cafeteria and learning center as the employees have a frequent and easy access to these places, and hence the employees can present these ideas and suggestions. Now since collecting and evaluating the ideas is a major work, it can be done through web base applications like: emails, intranet etc.

The ideas would be collected on the monthly basis but the best ideas will be rewarded on the quarterly basis. Feedback should be given to employees who send their suggestions and these feedbacks can be sent through web, phone, voice mails etc.

6) ON THE SPOT AWARD:

Some deeds of employees on a daily basis are so humble that they need to be recognized. It is sometimes not possible to recognize every individual on a daily basis, thus at such time recognizing an individual on the spot is an important and a sensible thing to do. According to this scheme employees can be awarded:

To the employees for their on the spot attitude towards some particular situation

For good and humble gestures towards peer and presence of mind throughout

Their managers give this award to the employee as they can keep a constant observation on their employees.

FINDINGS and CONCLUSION

This project was undertaken as a one related to HR.

Hence it was totally based on information collected within and out side the company.

Within the company the main sources were the information provided by employees of various department like: legal, HR, administration, commercial and claims, finance, sales tax, logistics, market research.

Outside the company the information was gathered from the HR departments of 7 other companies with the help of questionnaires.

Hence on that basis only some conclusions /findings can be drawn, which are as follows:

AS PER THE 7 QUESTIONNAIRES FILLED UP, THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS CAN BE DRAWN:

Out of 7 companies, all 7 have scheme similar to that of star of the month, where the best 3-5 employees are awarded for their performances on a monthly basis, based on some kind of ratings of every organization.

All of the 7 companies have scheme where the employees are praised or recognized on a daily basis through some meetings etc.

Out of 7, 4 companies have idea/suggestion awards, where the employees are awarded if they manage to provide the organization with some extraordinary suggestion etc,

All 7 companies have a mode of public recognition or a means through which the achievements of the employee are recognized, something similar to achievement talk book.

All of the 7 companies agreed that there should be recognition of employees through the intranet as well as every employee very frequently surfs the intranet.

All 7 companies also concern customer delight as an important aspect.

5 out of 7 companies take the opinion of their employees while making the schemes of reward and recognition.

In 4 companies, it is the HR department that is responsible for formulating the schemes.

www.final-yearprojects.co.cc | www.troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/

Page 42: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

In all of the 7 companies, the reward and recognition is treated as compulsion as it serves different purposes or uses like-makes the employees more confident, creates feeling of belongingness towards the organization, motivates the employees to work better.

The Recognitions were considered to be more successful according to the employers.

Increments and bonuses or cash awards are common to all organization.

According to all employers the rewards and recognition are must as they serve the goals like

1. Employee satisfaction 2. Staff retention 3. Performance improvement 4. Achievement of business results

According to all the employers the reward and recognition is a must not only for the individual employee but also if there are certain project teams in the organization.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:

As per the findings of the survey the monetary as well as the non-monetary awards both are equally important but the main aim is to reward or recognize employees time to time.

The recognitions like congratulatory cards, wall of fame, public applause, public recognition is of great importance.

Performance should be considered as the criterion for rewarding

There should be rewards or recognitions such that the employee can get to celebrated the reward with his family members as well.

The get together or parties within the branch, such that the employees get to interact and communicate with their colleagues, is of great importance.

The managers should make sure that he has one-to-one interactions with their employees and colleagues

The rewarding system should be such that the reward being given to the employee means something to him/her, i.e. the reward should have meaning for the recipient.

The reward should be well-defined, credible standards that have been developed using observable achievements.

Rewards should always be achievable and not out of reach by employees.

These rewards should be used as reward for their extra effort and it has to other then the incentives/bonus, which gets added to their salary.

Rewards should be visible to all the employees.

The standards and the criterion for the rewarding should not be ambiguous or biased.

Spontaneous awards such as: on the spot awards are very motivating and boost the recipients confidence to a great level.

The reward mean the most when they are thoughtfully prepared and of highest quality.

www.final-yearprojects.co.cc | www.troubleshoot4free.com/fyp/

Page 45: Project on Rewards Recognition Schemes Staff Officers HLL

The professionalism shown in the way of presenting the reward is also interpreted as a worthwhile recognition.

Rewards should be appropriate to the level of accomplishment received.

The tenure of the rewards monthly, quarterly or instantaneous.

There should be a separate committee in the branch that would take care of all the work related to the rewarding and recognizing.

People at the managerial level generally get rewarded or recognized quite often and easily, but the organization should also take care of the people at the officers and the staff and the sub-staff level and should definitely have schemes for motivating them as well.

The organizations should always consider the employees also while making some new policies or should involve the employees in basic level decisions, to create a feeling of belongingness, in the employee, towards the organization.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

While doing this project, a few problems were faced which are mentioned below.

While conducting survey, respondents were very reluctant to hand out correct

information. Also they were not interested to give out information, as it was

company specific and confidential. In many cases, they just refused to spare any

time.

In many cases, respondents just filled the questionnaire hastily without giving

proper thoughts to the questions to save their time; therefore, information

provided might be biased.

All expenses of the project are born by the students, which become heavy on their

pocket.

Since the project duration was only two months, time constraint limits the area of

study.

As the information about the work plans of employees was to be collected from

the employees themselves, to use it for making the rewards and milestones,

therefore to get the information from the people on work was another limitation.

The people from whom the information was collected were always busy in their

work, so time was a major constraint.

To get the appointments from the HR personnel of different companies was a time

consuming and a difficult task.
