H.R. MANAGER INTERVIEW -- suggested answers
1.. What changes do you feel are required in the existing set up of HR department in banks?
With computerisation being done vigorously in banks many of functions like payment of salary, leave records, service records etc. have been put in order and if data is fed properly the results will be good. Problems are felt in transfers and promotions and to an extent possible objectivity is to be ensured. Performance appraisal system must be made more transparent so that the appraisor is objective.
2. What are the Functions of HR Officer in a Bank?
Maintenance of service records, registering transfer requests, effecting transfers, recruitment, promotion, conducting of disciplinary proceedings and awarding punishments.
3.In a country that has so many educated unemployed youth, are services of Recruitment Consultants required?
Recruitment consultants help the people in need of employment in guiding them in the selection process. Unemployed youth are not aware of the requirements of employers and consultants help bridge this gap.
4. India has so many public holidays and Sundays still bank has different types of leaves (CL PL SL etc) are these leaves required over and above Sundays and Public Holidays?
People working in organisations do have their commitment towards their family members, they also get physical problems for self and family members which necessitate their presence and considering these sanction of leaves is necessary. As age advances responsibility of an employee towards family and problems also rise and under those circumstances such leaves will help employees. These have been decided after years of experience by the management with the employees under Indian context and they are good to continue.
