EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The core objective of the internship is to fulfill the requirement of the MBA program
as prescribed by the Lincoln University College(LUC). An intern has to prepare project
report at the end of the internship period but the main objective of the internship is to
get the hands-on experience of the real world organization. The internship was
completed with the objective of getting practical knowledge in the HR department of
Rastriya Banijya Bank Singadurbar.
The first four weeks I did my internship on RBB naxal during my internship I perform
various responsibility on various departments including administration. Second four
weeks I did in RBB Singadurbar including HR Administration and Pension and
Retirement. I got chance to interact with so many employees. They personally share
their experience and knowledge to me which become so valuable for me as a
professional life.
As an intern, I realized that I was successful to gather a lot of significant learning
experiences which would be helpful in my future. I could use my theoretical knowledge
of HR in real practice while participating in many discussions.
I also attempted to gather more information on basic job functions of other departments
to have better understanding of the relation between them and the HR department. It
was commendable to see how wholeheartedly they welcomed, acknowledged and
appreciated new ideas and knowledge. I have provided few recommendations based
upon my understanding and knowledge. I successfully completed all the assigned
duties and handed them over to the senior supervisor at the end of the internship. I
thoroughly enjoyed the challenges that came along every single day. I could also bring
some minor improvisations during my internship which were able to leave their marks.
These lessons that I have learned will be a valuable one for my future endeavors as
well.

1.2 Current Situation: HR environment in Nepalese organization and
other countries:
People are the focus of human resource management. Organization need people and
people need organizations. Human resource management is concerned with managing
people in organizations. It is essential function of management. It is every manager’s
job.
Human resources are vital for achieving organizational objectives. Better people
achieve better results. Organizational effectiveness depends on the performance of
people working in organizations.
Human resources management is about managing people. It is concerned with the
management of human energy and competencies. It aims at achieving organizational
objectives through productive contribution of people. It creates harmony between the
objectives of organization and the objectives of the individual.
According to the Gary Desseler:
Human resource management refers to the policies and practices involved in carrying
out the people or human resources aspects of a management positions, including
recruiting, screening, training, rewarding and appraising.
According to the Decenzo and Robbins:
Human resource management is comprised of the acquisition, development,
motivation and maintenance functions.
In order to do this, HR managers must be aware of what going on within the
company, the industry and the wider market in relations to the factors that influence
change.

14. Koirala, 4
1.2.1 Political factor that affect HRM in Organization:
From a shift in local public opinion to a change in government or even a new
industrial world superpower entering the market, politics influence how much funding
is available how much tax must be paid, minimum wages rates, how markets are
controlled and the quality and quantity of staff available for hire. When planning
ahead you need to consider likely changes to markets, budgets and availability of
suitable applicants as a results of recent or anticipated political influences. For
example if a change of a government is possible in the coming year, understand the
new administration priorities in relation to markets industries and business.
1.2.1.1 Political factor in Nepalese Organization
Nepalese HRM operates in a rapidly changing environment. Environmental forces
influences HRM’s ability to achieve goals. HRM environment consists of forces that
have a bearing on the performances and outcomes of HRM. HRM should continually
monitor the changing forces in the external environment. It should adapt to the
environmental changes. External environment consists of conditions and forces
external to HRM. It influences the performances and outcomes of HRM by providing
oppurtunities and threats. Human resources management practices applied in nepalese
organization are greatly influenced by political system institutional and philosophy.
The government formulated various policy regarding HRM. The government made
different policy regarding HRM. The government made different policy which has
directly and indirectly affected HR strategy in nepalese organization. The policy such
as the policies regarding equal employment oppurtunities quotas in employment for
women, disadvantaged and indigenous people affect acquisition of HRM. And also
government agencies act as regulatory agencies they fix minimum wages of workers.
Local government institutions also affect HRM practices in their areas of jurisdiction
business.
1.2.1.2 Political factors in other country:
Political factors have also affected HR practices. It has stated that government
policies in any country also pose some threats and hurdles for the HR professionals.
For example: In Thailand the minimum wages level is very high set by government
and it has posed a threat to HR managers to cope with this issue because this matter

15. Koirala, 5
has increased the labor cost for companies. Labor cost is the major proportion of cost
structure in most of the Thailand manufacturing organization. Political factors are one
of the major forces which are responsive for a company mission and strategy it has
found that political and legal factors are one of these factors which affect HR
practices.
With the introduction of new workplace compliance standards your human resources
departments is constantly under pressure to stay with the law. These types of
regulations influences every process of the HR department including hiring, training,
compensation, termination, and much more without adhering to such regulations a
company can be fined extensively which if it was had enough could came the
company to shut down.
1.2.2 Economic forces that affect HRM in organization
How much money is available for salaries, training and equipment is the most
immediate concern in human resources planning. However external economics plays
an equally critical role. For example: people don’t have as much money to spend in an
economic downturn and tend to be much more selective in what they buy or services
they use. This means some industries, such as those producing luxury items or
nonessential services, sell less and may even you will need and have to lay off some
staff. This in turn makes the local economy even more difficult. Building economic
factors into the human resources plan helps to predict how many employees you will
need you can pay.
1.2.2.1 Economic factors affecting HRM in Nepalese organization:
In Nepalese HRM environment affected by economic forces. The economic forces
such as globalization. The globalization affected the HRM environment. It refers to
boarderless trade through extensions of operation in several countries. The human
resources in global organization have also assumed global dimensions. HRM policies
and practices need to be adapted to varying socio-cultural forces. HRM needs to think
globally but act locally.
Demographics also affect HR environment. It is concerned with human population
and its distribution. The forces consists of population size, growth, age mix,
urbanization and migration.

16. Koirala, 6
Demographic trends affect the size, composition and location of work force which
affects HRM.
Economic factors is one of the biggest factors which have altered the HRM practices
directly or indirectly country in economic conditions are directly related with labor
which market and labour supply which subsequently affect the recruitment and
selection patterns of the organizations.
Moreever in labour market the decrease in supply of particular skilled labour shapes
the training and development strategies of organizations. Per capita income and DGP
decides the minimum distribution wage rate which is the part of compensation and
benefits.
Economic Health: The health of the economy affects HRM. The level of income, the
stage of business cycle, inflationary pressures and fiscal policies of the government
affect the compensation of employees. Economic grouping, such as European Union
and SAARC facilitate cross border mobility of human resources.
Labour Market Forces:
A labour market is a geographical area within which people looking for work interact
with employers looking for people.
Work force diversity is increasing. The composition of people looking for work in the
labour market is getting diverse in terms of national origins, cultures, educations,
skills, sex and ages. Women and aged people are increasing in the labor market.
Labour market characteristics greatly affect HRM’s recruitment and compensation
policies.
1.2.2.2 Economic factor in other country:
Economic factor is one of the biggest factors which have altered the HRM practices
directly and indirectly. For example: 2010 study conducted a study on the relationship
between economic instability of Estonia and HRM practices and found that economic
instability has influenced the HRM practices.

17. Koirala, 7
1.2.3 Social Forces that affect HRM in organization:
Several social factors may influence your HR planning but you need to take into
account equalities and diversity in particular where there is a clear discrepancy of one
social group, it’s good idea to build in ways of opening up new oppurtunities. For
example if there are few Hispanic people in your company compared to numbers in
the wider community, determine why this is the case and what can be done to redress
the balance. Try holding a recruitment event in the area or conducting a survey of
locals, asking if they would consider a job at your company and if not why not. As an
older generation retires and a new generation enters the workforce the human
resources department must look for ways to attract this new set of candidates. They
must hire in a different way and offer different types of compensation packages that
work for this younger generation.
1.2.3.1 Social- Cultural Forces that affect HRM in Nepalese
organization:
They refer to all socio-cultural surroundings that affect HRM. Social and cultural
forces that affect HRM are:
Social Norms: They affect attitudes and expectations toward organization and the
work itself. Changing social values have significant implications for HRM. Social
institutions such as family, references groups and pressure group also affect HRM.
Life style: It is a person’s pattern of living reflected in his activities, interests and
opinions. HRM policies and practices should change to suit changes in life styles.
Changes in life styles have resulted in shorter work weeks, flexible working hours and
work at home patters of work.
Cultural forces: Culture is the complex whole of knowledge, customs, traditions,
values, religions, language and works of art and architecture. It is created by a society
and is handed down from generation to generation. It affects HRM by:
Creating the work force suitable to organizational settings.
Creating attitude towards work, leisure and business; influence values and beliefs of
employees.
Providing time orientation to work force.

18. Koirala, 8
Promoting work ethics reflected in hard work and organizational commitment.
Nepal has its national culture. Culture changes and cross cultural influences affect
HRM.
1.2.3.2 Social Factors in other country:
Demographic factors also affects the HRM of organization. Demographic factors are
the characteristics of workforce such as gender, educational level, race and cultural
background. Ratio of men and women in workforce and the cultural diversity has its
impact on organizational performance. On the other side demographic factors have an
impact on HRM practices within the organization. Organization now have to keep
balance in gender, racial and ethnic diversity. Morever, companies now have to
design jobs by keeping the work-life balance in consideration. Thus, demographic
factors have its impact on HRM practices.
Demographic or social forces affcect the HRM of organization in other countries for
example: Hotels in FIJI they explained the employee turnover ratio in different
departments and according to them the ratio is compared high in cleaning and Food
and Beverages departments ,when compared with front office. So the companies are
practicing different employee motivation and retention strategies for both types of
employees.
1.2.4 Technological Factors that affect HRM in organization:
This is considered an external influence because when new technologies are
introduces the HR department can start looking at how to downsize and look for ways
to save money. A job that used to take 2-4 people could be cut to one done by a single
person. Technology is revolutionizing the way we do business and not just from a
consumer standpoint, but from an internal-cost savings way. New technology brings
new skills requirements, so companies always need to be aware of proficiencies and
training needs when planning human resources. New products and services also may
require recruiting highly skilled employees or training existing employees to meet the
need. Make sure HR managers are aware of new equipment or knowledge be needed.
So they can build the required skills and most likely salary enhancements into the
plan.

19. Koirala, 9
1.2.4.1 Technology forces that affect HRM in Nepalese organization:
Technology makes work more efficient. It consists of skills, methods, systems and
equipment. It affects HRM by bringing about changes in jobs, skills, methods and
processes. Automation, computerization, digitalization, robotics, informatics, and
artificial intelligence have all affected the field of HRM. Technological Forces
relevant to HRM are:
Level of technology : It can be labour based or capital based and appropriate or
sophisticated. The level of technology affects acquisition and development activities
of HRM. Technological advances also affect HRM.
Technological Change: The speed of technological change dislocates employees by
eliminating old jobs, creating new jobs and increasing professionalization of jobs.
HRM in Nepalese organization must equip human resources with new competencies
and properly pay them to keep up with the technological advances.
HRM environment of future will be technologically advanced. Information
technology will lessen the need for middle managers and low-skilled employees.
More work will be performed by work teams. Virtual offices will emerge where
people will work from home through internet.
1.2.4.2 Technological factor in other country:
Technology advancement are affecting all the fields of life. Impact of technological
advancement can be observed in every field of life. Business have been transformed
from industrial state into
A study in 2007 investigated the impact of technology has played an effective role in
reshaping the HR practices in business environment. IT has affected the efficiently of
hiring process. With the help of technological advancements we now see online
recruitment process.

20. Koirala, 10
1.3 Objectives of the study:
The core objectives of the internship is to fulfill the requirement of the MBA program
prescribed by Lincoln University (LUC). Besides that the internship project was
completed with the objective of getting practical knowledge in the RBB bank.
Besides that the objectives of internship program are:
 To gain practical knowledge of what we have studied.

1.4 Limitation:
The major limitation of the project can be discussed below:
 The report mostly based on data provided by RBB i.e secondary data.

21. Koirala, 11
 The study only focuses on HR strategies.
 References and resources is limited to the book, magazines websites.
 The study is done for the partial fulfillment of MBA degree.
 The study may not applicable for other organization of similar nature.
 The bank’s policy on keeping some matters confidential prevented from
analyzing differential activities.
 This study takes into consideration only about general activities and does not
include the minor details about each and every activity performed in the bank
due to the time constraints.
1.5 Research Design:
A research design is the detailed blueprint used to guide a research study towards its
objectives. The research design is the process of arriving to the solution of the
problem through planned and systematic dealing with the collection analysis and
interpretation of facts and figures.
This study of HR strategies of RBB bank has adopted the Secondary data analysis and
expert survey method.
1.5.1 Sources of data
As the report is based on the secondary data negligible amount of primary data has
been used. Direct interview, Reports and magazine are used as sources of data. Two
types of data are:
Primary data:
Primary data are mainly collected by a researcher to address the research problem. In
other words these are not readily available from various sources, rather the researcher
has to systematically collect the data relevant to a pre specified research problem. The
importance of primary data is unquestionable.
As the primary sources I myself worked as an internee in RBB bank for 8 weeks and
collected some crucial information. I interviewed many staff members, personnel

22. Koirala, 12
including managers, assistant managers, and subordinate staffs. I also observed the
operational activities of various departments during my 8 weeks period of internship.
Secondary Data:
Secondary data are the data that have already been collected by someone else before
the current needs of a researcher. The present researcher only uses these data with
related references and never collects it from the field. When compared with the
primary data, secondary data can be collected easily with time and cost efficiency.
Secondary data are readily available and provide a base to tackle the research
problem.
For a secondary data, I have collected books, periodicals, and other published
material, booklets, magazine, brochure and visited websites.
1.6 Sampling Design:
Population is any complete group and sample is a subset of larger population.
Sampling is the most widely used tool for gathering important and useful information
from the population. A researcher generally takes a small portion of the population for
study, which is referred to as sample. The process of selecting a sample from the
population is called sampling.
Population refers to the total of items about which information is desired. Sample is a
sub group that is chosen which is believed to be representative of population and the
method of choosing this sub group is done by sampling.
1.6.1 Sampling is essential because:
 Sampling saves time.
 Sampling saves money.
 Sampling boardens the scope of the study in light of scarcity of resources.
 Sampling minimizes the destruction.
 Sampling provides the more accurate results.
For the project I used simple random sampling.

23. Koirala, 13
Simple Random Sampling:
Simple random sampling is based on the process of selecting a sample randomly. This
does not mean the randomness allows haphazard selection of sample. It means that the
process of selecting a sample should be free from human judgement.
I used Simple random sampling to choose RBB bank.
1.7 Data Gathering:
The purpose of the various data collection techniques is to produce truth worthy
evidence that is reverent to the research question being asked. The various steps of
methods followed in order to get the most factual and dependable information about
the sources of data in order to get the most factual and dependable information about
the sources of data in order to get the most factual and dependable information about
the sources of data used in the area based on secondary data.
The data is gathered by secondary data sources such as published material, booklets,
magazine, brochure and visited websites.

24. CHAPTER TWO
BACKGROUND OF THE INDUSTRY

25. Koirala, 15
2.1 Introduction of Bank
After commerce and the arts had revived in Italy, the business of banking was
resumed. The word "bank" is commonly regarded as derived from the Italian word
'Banco', a bench - the Jews in Lombardy having benches in the market-place for
the exchange of money and bills. And people around the world start to use different
words for their convenient like in French 'Banque', Latin 'Bancus', and German 'Bank'.
At ancient times, bank means moneylenders who sat in the bench for keeping, lending
and exchanging of money in the market place.
A bank is an institution which deals in money receiving as deposits from customers,
honoring customers drawing against such deposits on demand, collecting cheques for
customers and lending or investing surplus deposits until they are requires for
repayment. It allows interest on the deposits made and charges interest on the loans
granted and further it creates credit and supports for the formation of capital and
hence it is regarded as manufacturer of money.
In simple, bank is an institution which deals with money and credit. A bank is
a financial institution that serves as a financial intermediary, who bridges gap between
the savers of the fund and users of the funds. Nowadays, a bank has broadened its
scope by providing financial as well as non-financial services to its customers. To
give specific meaning of bank is very difficult task however following are the few
definitions given by different
authors.
"Banking means the accepting for the purpose of lending or investment of deposits of
money from the public, repayable on demand or otherwise and withdrawal by cheque
draft order or otherwise." --Indian Banking Company Act 1949
"Bank is an organization established for the purpose of exchange money deposit
lending money and participation in transactions." --Commercial Bank Act of
2031
"Bank is a financial institution, which provides financial services that may be in the
form of accepting deposits, advancing loan, providing necessary technical advices,

26. Koirala, 16
dealing overt foreign currencies, remitting funds, etc." –Nepal Rastra Bank Act
2002
From the above definitions, we draw the conclusion that a bank is a financial
intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities,
either directly or through capital markets. It is the most important financial institution
dealing with money, receiving it as deposits from customers, honoring customers
drawing against such deposits on demand, collecting cheques for customers and
lending or investing surplus deposits until they are required for repayment.
Thus, bank receives demand deposits and time deposits, honors instruments drawn on
them, and pays interest on them, makes loans, and invests in securities, collects
cheques, drafts and certifies depositor's cheques and issues drafts and cashier's
cheques. The difference in interest rate on lending and deposit, interest rate spread, is
the major source of income for the bank. Interest on lending is higher than the
deposits.
2.2 History of Banking in Global Scenario
The history of banking is nearly as old as civilization. In the Babylon, at the time of
Hammurabi, in the 18th century BC, there are records of loans made by the priests of
the temple. The concept of banking has arrived. When the word bank is used it is
meant for commercial bank. Before 1960 there was no such word as “banking’.
However, in the temple Babylon the practices of safeguarding and saving flourished
as early as 2000 B.C. Chanakya in his Arthashastra written in about 300 B.C.
mentioning about the existence of powerful guilds of merchant’s bankers received
deposits, advance loans and hundies. Merchants and goldsmith were ancestors of
bank.
The 'Bank of Venice', established in1157 A.D. is supposed to be the ancient bank.
Originally, it was not a bank in real sense being simply on office for the transfer of the
public debt. Venice, after being possibly the first city to found a bank for the keeping
of money on safe deposit and the clearing of cheques, is also a pioneer in the
involvement of a bank with state financiers. In 1617 the BancoGiro is established to

27. Koirala, 17
solve problems encountered by the earlier, which has got into trouble through the
making of unsecured loans. Subsequently, 'Bank of Barcelona' (1401) and 'Bank of
Geneva' (1407) were established.
During the 18th century the Bank of England gradually undertakes many of the tasks
now associated with a central bank, The 'Bank of England', first English Bank, was
established in1964 A.D. It organizes the sale of government bonds when funds need
to be raised. It acts as a clearing bank for government departments, facilitating and
processing their daily transactions.
History apart, it was the “Merchant bank” that first evolved the system by trading in
commodities than money. They used to do their trading activities by remitting the
money from one place to another. The next stage in the growth of banking was
goldsmith. An honest goldsmith was also trusted with billions money and ornaments
by merchants in neighborhoods. He started charging for acting as custodians of these
valuables. As an evidence for receiving valuables he issued a receipt, which in turn
became like cheques as a mode of exchange. He started advancing the coins on loan
by charging interest. He started to keep some reserve as a safeguard. In this way the

modern banking that of accepting deposits and advancing loans.
2.3 History of Banking in Nepal
Banking service is the oldest service industry in Nepal. It has gone through various
stages of evolution and development since the Vedic times (2000 to 1400 B.C.). In the
Nepalese chronicles, it was recorded that the new era known as Nepal Sambat was
introduced by Shankhadhar, a Sudra merchant of Kantipur in 880 A.D.
The banking in the form of money leading can be traced back in the reign of Gun
Kam Dev towards the end of 8th century. According to the historical evidence in 723
Gun Kam Dev, the king of Kathmandu had borrowed money to rebuild and to rule
Kathmandu.

28. Koirala, 18
In the 11th century, during Malla regime, there was an evidence of professional
money-lenders and bankers. It is further believed that money-lending business,
particularly for financing the foreign trade with Tibet, became quite popular.
Another historical example as to the pre-modern banking system is found when Rana
Prime minister Randip Singh was administering Nepal in 1880 A.D. During his
regime one financial institution name by "TejarathAdda" was establish to give loan
facilities to the governmental staff and to afford loan facilities to the public in general
in the term of 5% interest. The credit facilities of "TejarathAdda" were also extended
outside the valley during the Prime Minister ship of Chandra Shumsher Rana.
Although this institution did not accept any deposits, it had played an important role
in the development process of banking system in Nepal. Modern banking business
started in the country just before the Second World War. In 1938 state financial
institute which supply credit or loan against security.
His Majesty King Tribhuvan inaugurated first commercial bank i.e. Nepal Bank
Limited on Kartik 30, 1994 B.S. In the year 1994 B.S. as a semi government
organization with an authorized capital RS.10 million of which 51% share are owned
by government, this marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal. Until
then all monetary tractions were carried out by private dealers and trading center.
The need to regulate financial and monetary system increased enormously resulting in
the establishment of Nepal Rastra Bank in 2013 B.S. In order to cater the demand of
banking system, Rastriya Banijya Bank was established in 2022 B.S with 100%
government ownership.
Later some development banks and financial institutions were established to provide
medium and long-term credit facilities to the industry and agriculture. In this contest,
Nepal Industrial Development Corporation was established in 2016 B.S. to provide
the financial and managerial assistance in the field of industry and to help private
sector in the field of industry. In order to provide service to the agriculture sector,
Agriculture Development Bank Ltd. was established in 2024 B.S.
The government of Nepal adopted liberal economic policy to accelerate country's
growth and development. Foreign investment and participation of private sector were

29. Koirala, 19
encouraged. The government then enacted "Joint Venture Banking" policy.
Commercial Banks should operate under the Commercial Bank Act 2031, Nepal
Rastra Bank Act 2058 and Contract Act 2056. Nepal Arab Bank Ltd. (currently
known as NABIL) is the first bank established in joint investment in Nepal in 2041
B.S. With the passage of time several other joint venture and private bank has been
established such as Indosuez bank Limited (Nepal investment bank) in 2042 B.S.,
Nepal Grindlays Bank (Standard Chartered bank) 2043 B.S., Himalayan Bank
Limited in 2049 B.S. and so on.

2.8 Challenges and Opportunities of Banking Industry:
Challenges:
The challenges of banking sectors are explained below:
 Intense Competition: With the representation of 28 commercial banks with
their several branches spread all around the country, the banking sector today
is under the pressure of intense competition. Customer’s change in taste,
preferences and want for innovative products and services has further acted as
a catalyst.
 Requires Huge Cost: Every bank uses its own software to operate banking
activities. It requires large network connections as to connect all the branches
along the same network. Today, Banks are adopting new and sophisticated
technologies in order to provide better quality services to their customer which
involves huge cost.
 Liquidity Crisis: Improving the worsening liquidity crisis that is directly
affecting the operation of banks is a major challenge for the banking sector in
the current scenario. Higher loan investment compared to the deposit and the
Figure No. 2.7 Growth of Commercial Banks (Class A) in Nepal

33. Koirala, 23
policy that requires declaration of the source of fund exceeding Rs one million
contributed to liquidity crisis.
 Admits Political Instability:As the country’s political situation is unstable, the
investors are reluctant to invest in new projects. Due to political instability
economic development is not able to foster, as a result, investor back off for
making huge investment as they assume the loss will overshadow their amount
of profit.
 Complex government policies: All the commercial banks of Nepal have to
perform its functions under the act of Nepal Rastra Bank. In this regard, Nepal
Rastra bank has been formulating its policies. Recent policy states, 10 billion
is to be raised as capital by all commercial banks very risky for a new entrants
to carry out their transactions.
Opportunities:
 Emerging Nation: Nepal is one of the developing countries among all other
countries. There are various projects that have been undertaken to develop the
economy of the country. Among the various other sources, bank loans are the
major source of investment.
 Merger: A tough competition has been going on in banking industry. Hence,
banks need to strengthen and increase capital to compete in the market.
Mergers strengthen the bank and bring economies of scales. Mergers lead to
synergy effect and helps in cost saving of banks.
 Technology: Almost all banks have e-banking and mobile banking facilities.
The customers of bank have an easy access to their bank account and its
services sitting anywhere they want. Most banks have their own mobile apps
for security concerns. Customers are notified regarding changes to their
account.
 Remittance: The number of migrant population for employment is rapidly
increasing. Among those migrants most of them are unskilled. Appropriate
products should be designed to target this growing migrant population.

quality records, orders processed, productivity records, order processing time,
accidents reports and so on.
Don’t get personel: Try to compare the person’s performance to a standard. (These
reports should normally be done within 10 days.) Similarly don’t compare the
person’s performance to that of other people. (He’s quicker than you are.)
 Encourage the person to talk: Stop and listen to what the person is saying:
ask open ended questions such as. “what do you think we can do to improve
this situation?” Use a command such as “Go on”. Restate the person’s last
point as a question such as “you don’t think you can get the job done.

An increasing number of individuals are choosing to put off this point of total
retirement, by selecting to exist in the emerging state of Pre-tirement.
Many people choose to retire when they are eligible for private or
public pension benefits, although some are forced to retire when physical conditions
no longer allow the person to work any longer (by illness or accident) or as a result of
legislation concerning their position. In most countries, the idea of retirement is of
recent origin, being introduced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Previously, low life expectancy and the absence of pension arrangements meant that
most workers continued to work until death. Germany was the first country to
introduce retirement, in 1889.
Nowadays, most developed countries have systems to provide pensions on retirement
in old age, which may be sponsored by employers and/or the state. In many poorer
countries, support for the old is still mainly provided through the family. Today,
retirement with a pension is considered a right of the worker in many societies, and
hard ideological, social, cultural and political battles have been fought over whether
this is a right. In many western countries this right is mentioned in
national constitutions.

4.9 Pension:
A pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during an employee's
employment years, and from which payments are drawn to support the
person's retirement from work in the form of periodic payments. A pension may be a
"defined benefit plan" where a fixed sum is paid regularly to a person, or a "defined
contribution plan" under which a fixed sum is invested and then becomes available at
retirement age. Pensions should not be confused with severance pay; the former is
usually paid in regular installments for life after retirement, while the latter is

52. Koirala, 42
typically paid as a fixed amount after involuntary termination of employment prior to
retirement.
The terms "retirement plan" and "superannuation" tend to refer to a pension granted
upon retirement of the individual. Retirement plans may be set up by employers,
insurance companies, the government or other institutions such as employer
associations or trade unions..
A pension created by an employer for the benefit of an employee is commonly
referred to as an occupational or employer pension. Labor unions, the government, or
other organizations may also fund pensions. Occupational pensions are a form
of deferred compensation, usually advantageous to employee and employer
for tax reasons. Many pensions also contain an additional insurance aspect, since they
often will pay benefits to survivors or disabled beneficiaries. Other vehicles
(certain lottery payouts, for example, or an annuity) may provide a similar stream of
payments.
The common use of the term pension is to describe the payments a person receives
upon retirement, usually under pre-determined legal or contractual terms. A recipient
of a retirement pension is known as a pensioner or retiree.
Pension in RBB:
 Employees who work 5-10years in bank get pension after their retirement.
Pension will be half of their salary.
 Employees who work 10-15 years get the pension after their retirement.
Pension will be equal to their salary.
 Employees who work 15-20 years will get the pension after their retirement.
Pension will be equal to their one and half month salary.
 Employees who work more than 20 years will get pension after their
retirement. Pension will be equal to their two month salary.
Beneficial Person:
 If any employees get death then the beneficial person, wife, son, daughter,
whoever they have explained will get pension.
 But the beneficial person get half of their pension.

53. Koirala, 43
4.10 Occupational Security:
Job security is the probability that an individual will keep his or her job; a job with a
high level of job security is such that a person with the job would have a small chance
of becoming unemployed.
Basic economic theory holds that during periods of economic expansion businesses
experience increased demand, which in turn necessitates investment in more capital or
labor. When businesses are experiencing growth, job confidence and security
typically increase. The opposite often holds true during a recession businesses
experience reduced demand and look to downsize their workforces in the short term.
Governments and individuals are both motivated to achieve higher levels of job
security. Governments attempt to do this by passing laws (such as the U.S. Civil
Rights Act of 1964) which make it illegal to fire employees for certain reasons.
Individuals can influence their degree of job security by increasing their skills through
education and experience, or by moving to a more favorable location. The official
unemployment rate and employee confidence indexes are good indicators of job
security in particular fields. These statistics are closely watched
by economists, government officials, and banks.
Unions also strongly influence job security. Jobs that traditionally have a strong union
presence such as many government jobs and jobs in education, healthcare and law
enforcement are considered very secure while many non-unionized private sector jobs
are generally believed to offer lower job security, although this varies by industry and
country.
Job security in RBB:
In RBB employee’s job is secured:
 Employees are not allowed to terminate unless they are consider by court.
 Employees job are not allowed to terminate unless they are not out of contract.
 Employees are not allowed to terminate unless they are on any positions.
 Employees are encouraged to do or plan to do better work for bank and for
themselves.

4.11 Action:
Punishment is the authoritative imposition of an undesirable or unpleasant outcome
upon a group or individual, in response to a particular action or behavior that is
deemed unacceptable or threatening to some norm.
The unpleasant imposition may include a fine, penalty, or confinement, or be the
removal or denial of something pleasant or desirable. The individual may be a person,
or even an animal. The authority may be either a group or a single person, and
punishment may be carried out formally under a system of law or informally in other
kinds of social settings such as within a family. Negative consequences that are not
authorized or that are administered without a breach of rules are not considered to be
punishment as defined here. The study and practice of the punishment of crimes,
particularly as it applies to imprisonment, is called penology, or, often in modern
texts, corrections; in this context, the punishment process is euphemistically called
"correctional process". Research into punishment often includes similar research into
prevention.
Justifications for punishment include retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation,
and incapacitation. The last could include such measures as isolation, in order to
prevent the wrongdoer's having contact with potential victims, or the removal of a
hand in order to make theft more difficult. Of the four justifications, only retribution
is part of the definition of punishment and none of the other justifications is a
guaranteed outcome, aside from obvious exceptions such as an executed man being
incapacitated with regard to further crimes.
The punishment department take action if:
If employees do not fulfill their responsibilities and their work.
 When they do not obey discipline.
 When the secret of bank disclosed.
 When employees involved in politics.
 When the property of bank and any other secret try to be sold.
 When they try to mismatch the money or cash.
 When they try to take bribery, they are dismissed, punished or disqualified.

55. Koirala, 45
 When they blame by court.
 When they go for strike, illegally then they will be warn by management.
 But there is a chance for employees to fight against them.
 They get chance for their clarification.
Action for punishment will be:
 Grading should be stopped for 2 years.
 Salary incremental should be stopped for 2 years.
 Promotion should be stopped for 2 years.
 Demotion to one step lower.
4.12 Promotion
A promotion is the advancement of an employee's rank or position in an
organizational hierarchy system. Promotion may be an employee's reward for good
performance, i.e., positive appraisal. Before a company promotes an employee to a
particular position it ensures that the person is able to handle the added
responsibilities by screening the employee with interviews and tests and giving them
training or on-the-job experience. A promotion can involve advancement in terms of
designation, salary and benefits, and in some organizations the type of job activities
may change a great deal. The opposite of a promotion is a demotion.
A promotion can involve advancement in terms of designation, salary and benefits,
and in some organizations the type of job activities may change a great deal. In many
companies and public service organizations, more senior positions have a different
title: an analyst who is promoted becomes a "principal analyst"; an economist
becomes a "senior economist"; or an associate professor becomes a "full professor".
The amount of salary increase associated with a promotion varies a great deal
between industries and sectors, and depending on what parts of the hierarchical ladder
an employee is moving between. In some industries or sectors, there may be only a
modest increase in salary for a promotions; in other fields, a promotion may
substantially increase an employee's salary.

56. Koirala, 46
The same is true with benefits and other privileges; in some industries, the promotion
only changes the title and salary, and there are no additional benefits or privileges
(beyond the psycho-social benefits that may accrue to the individual). In some not-
for-profit organizations, the values of the organization or the tightness of funding may
result in there being only modest salary increases associated with a promotion. In
other industries, especially in private sector companies, a promotion to senior
management may carry a number of benefits, such as stock options, a reserved
parking space, a corner office with a secretary, and bonus pay for good performance.
The degree to which job activities change varies between industries and sectors. In
some fields, even after an employee is promoted, they continue to do similar work.
For example, a policy analyst in the federal government who is promoted to the post
of senior policy analyst will continue to do similar tasks such as writing briefing notes
and carrying out policy research. The differences may be in the complexity of the files
that the individual is assigned to or in the sensitivity of the issues that they are asked
to deal with. In other fields, when an employee is promoted, their work changes
substantially.
Promotion in RBB:
 If employees work for 3 years in level 5 then he/she will be promoted in level
6.
 If employees work for 2years 6month in level 6 then he/she will be promoted
in level 7.
 If employees work for 2 years 6 month in level 7 then he/she will be promoted
in level 8.
 If employees work for 2 years 6month in level 8 then he/she will be promoted
in level 9.
 If employees work for 2 years 6 month in level 9 then he/she will be promoted
in level 10.
 If employees work for 3years in level 10 then he/she will be promoted in level
11.

57. Koirala, 47
4.13 Benefits:
Employee benefits and (especially in British English) benefits in kind (also called fringe
benefits, perquisites, or perks) include various types of non-wage compensation
provided to employees in addition to their normal wages or salaries. In instances
where an employee exchanges (cash) wages for some other form of benefit is
generally referred to as a 'salary packaging' or 'salary exchange' arrangement. In most
countries, most kinds of employee benefits are taxable to at least some degree.
Examples of these benefits include: housing (employer-provided or employer-paid),
group insurance (health, dental, life etc.), disability income protection, retirement
benefits, daycare, tuition reimbursement, sick leave, vacation (paid and non-
paid), social security, profit sharing, employer student loan contributions, and other
specialized benefits.
The purpose of employee benefits is to increase the economic security of staff
members, and in doing so, improve worker retention across the organization. As such,
it is one component of reward management.
The term perks is often used colloquially to refer to those benefits of a more
discretionary nature. Often, perks are given to employees who are doing notably well
and/or have seniority. Common perks are take-home vehicles, hotel stays, free
refreshments, leisure activities on work time (golf, etc.), stationery, allowances
for lunch, and—when multiple choices exist—first choice of such things as job
assignments and vacation scheduling. They may also be given first chance at job
promotions when vacancies exist.
Benefits in RBB:
 Insurance: Each employees get insurance.
 Funeral expenses: employees are paid 10000 for funeral expenses.
 Home loan: Home loan provided to all employees.
 Dashain bonus: Dashain bonus are paid to employees for the month of aswin.
The amount will be equal to monthly salary.
 Telephone facilities: Telephone facilities are paid to all employees.
 Home repair loan: Employees who work more than 5 years in bank are paid

58. CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

59. Koirala, 49
5.1 CONCLUSION
Conclusion is very important part of the report writing. It is necessary to find out the
conclusions because it helps to know in which area the organization is not performing
well so the major steps could be taken to overcome those problems.
 Recruitment is an important aspects of human resources management in RBB.
But we found that Bank is following only one method of recruitment process
i.e Advertising. There are so many other process such as Job Posting,
Employee Referral, Human resource Inventory search, Educational Institution
Placement, Internet search contact which is completely missing.
 Selection process involves a series of step to choose the right candidates. But
we found that in bank some step is still incomplete. It lacks preliminary
interview, references checks, physical examination etc.
 Employees paid for their leave is one of the attractive facilities provided by
bank.
 Employees seeks transfer for better location, hour and work. But when
employees are transfer other part of country they may not found all the
facilities they need.
 Bank don’t give adequate attention to developing their managers to assume
greater responsibilities in the future. It has only limited number of programs.
The popular management development methods such as Job Rotation,
Behavior Modeling, Sensitivity Training, Transactional Analysis is completely
missing.
 Performance Appraisals hasn’t received adequate priority in RBB. It lacks
feedback to employees.
 Although discipline is major part of bank but it has been seen that employees
are becoming careless. They postponed their work for tomorrow which never
seems to come. It also seen that go slow to work and sometimes unnecessary
strike.

60. Koirala, 50
 The people who are unable to work should be retired. This types of benefits
encourage new employee to join the firm and old employees to leave the firm
without hesitation.
 Pension plan is one of the attractive policy of the bank. It has been heard that
the pension facilities from the bank is reducing permanently after 2/3 years.
But we should understand the importance of pension how it help the old age
employees to live and relax in their retirement life.
 Occupational security is also one of the attractive facilities in the bank.
 Action should be taken it also should be flexible and give sufficient chances to
the employees for clarification.
 Promotion facilities is also one of the attractive facilities provided by the bank.
 Benefits facilities is also one of the attractive facilities provided by the bank.
5.2 RECOMMENDATION:
 RBB should follow and implement different recruitment process. Such as: Job
Posting, Employee referral, Human Resources inventory search, Educational
Institutional Placement, Internet search.
 RBB should add some steps in selection process. Such as: Preliminary
interview, reference checks, physical examination.
 Transferred employees should provided every possible facilities.
 RBB should not only limited on understudy for their management
development program they should provide every facilities.
 RBB should adopted some modern performance appraisals technique such as:
graphical rating scale, Behavioral anchored rating scale.
 Discipline policies should not only noticed but should also implemented.
 Retirement policy should be more flexible.
 Pension policy should be extended.
 Employees should get chances for clarification.
 Besides these RBB lack employee motivation, employee Communication
management and labor relations management in the bank.
