Methodology of the study
Objective:
The objective of our study is to find and analyze the problem of Rahimafrooz and without privatization, only to use Compensation Management, how to solve all of the problems.

Scope:
The scope of our study was wide as we have to research on a wide area, though here it is said about only Rahimafrooz, but we think that these problems is persists for all of the private organizations. The data was collected strictly for academic purposes only.

Sources: • For conducting our survey, we followed the Sample Survey method and used a structured questionnaire to collect the data. The data collected was primary in nature. • Some secondary data also we have collected for the research purpose. • From internet, books & newspaper we collect a lot of data which helps a lot to conduct this research. • Again our teacher also helps us to provide a lot of valuable information.

Limitations:
The limitations and constraints that we faced while conducting the survey included time constraints as we were allotted a very limited amount of time, money constraints, etc. But the biggest constraint that we faced was however, the allocation of time and resources to best meet our needs. Due to time it was impossible for us to conduct physical survey in Rahimafrooz for several times. Only one time we can do it. We had to talk over phone who are presently working in Rahimafrooz. Yet they are not willing to provide internal information about Rahimafrooz which is a strong limitation of our research.

Conclusion 21

Executive Summary Late A. C. Abdur Rahim was the Founder of Rahimafrooz. He was a dreamer. He believed that he would be successful one day if he worked hard. At last he achieved honor and recognition for his efforts. He then established a small proprietary trading company named Rahimafrooz & Co, at Chittagong in 1950 which was later incorporated on 15th April 1954, which is now Rahimafrooz (Bangladesh) Ltd. He acquired the principal company Lucas Service Ltd in 1980 which is now known as Rahimafrooz BatteriesLtd. Rahimafrooz is one of the respected and reputed business houses in Bangladesh. It has just crossed 50 years of operation. Rahimafrooz has endured turbulences of the last 50 years and has been able to transform itself from a small trading company into a leading diversified business house. In the long journey of 50 years Rahimafrooz got some awards for their many kind of activities through its products. This reward is the result of our effort, commitment and teamwork. Compensation management provides a step-by-step approach for designing remuneration system that recognizes job requirements: employee related knowledge and skill; and performance related incentives that individual, team, and work unit and organization performance.
The reward system of an organization includes anything that an employee may value and desire and that the employer is able or willing to offer in exchange for employee contribution. Reward can be compensation component and non-compensation component. Monetary payments can be in the form of coins paper money or in the less tangible form of checks or credit cards. The rise of global markets over the last two decades of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century has placed greater stress on organizations regarding their ability to compete and be profitable. The need to be competitive is critical to all organizations like profit and nonprofit, privately owned, or government oriented. To be successful, these organizations must provide high quality goods and services to their clients in a cost-effective manner.

The Compensation System

THE COMPENSATION SYSTEM RESULTS FORM THE ALLOCATION, CONVERSION, AND TRANSFER OF A PORTION OF THE INCOME OF AN ORGANIZATION TO ITS EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR MONETARY AND IN-KIND CLAIMS ON GOODS AND SERVICES. COMPENSATION BASICALLY IS A MONETARY REWARD FOR AN EMPLOYEE LIKE SALARY, WAGES BONUS.

MONETARY CLAIMS ON GOODS AND SERVICES ARE WAGES AND SALARIES PAID TO AN EMPLOYEE IN THE FORM OF MONEY, OR A FORM THAT IS QUICKLY AND EASILY TRANSFERABLE TO MONEY AT THE DISCRIMINATION OF THE EMPLOYEE. AS A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE, MONEY ENABLES AN EMPLOYEE TO PURCHASE CERTAIN KINDS AND AMOUNTS OF WIDE VARIETY OF GOODS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET PLACE. IN-KIND CLAIMS ARE CLAIMS ON GOOD AND SERVICES MADE AVAILABLE AND PAID FOR EITHER TOTALLY OR IN SOME PERCENTAGE BY THE EMPLOYER. EMPLOYEE OFTEN HAS LITTLE OR NO OPPORTUNITY FOR IMMEDIATE MONETARY FUND AN IN-KIND PAYMENT. THE VALUE OF ANY IN-KIND PAYMENT TO A SPECIFIC EMPLOYEE DEPENDS DIRECTLY ON EMPLOYEE PERCEPTION OF IT WORTH.

COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT PROVIDES A STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH FOR DESIGNING REMUNERATION SYSTEM THAT RECOGNIZES JOB REQUIREMENTS: EMPLOYEE RELATED KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL; AND PERFORMANCE RELATED INCENTIVES THAT INDIVIDUAL, TEAM, AND WORK UNIT AND ORGANIZATION PERFORMANCE. TOTAL REMUNERATION ALSO INCLUDES A HOST OF BENEFITS THAT PROTECT AND EXPEND THE LIFESTYLE AND HEALTH OF WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE TOTAL OF THESE CONTRIBUTIONS BY ORGANIZATION REPRESENTS ITS LABOR COSTS. ON THE OTHER HAND THESE COSTS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVED EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE AND, ON THE OTHER HAND EXPENDED PRODUCTIVITY SO THAT AN ORGANIZATION CAN BE COMPETITIVE AND PROFITABLE IN PROVIDING ITS GOODS AND SERVICES WITHIN A GLOBAL ECONOMY.

THE REWARD SYSTEM

THE REWARD SYSTEM OF AN ORGANIZATION INCLUDES ANYTHING THAT AN EMPLOYEE MAY VALUE AND DESIRE AND THAT THE EMPLOYER IS ABLE OR WILLING TO OFFER IN EXCHANGE FOR EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTION. REWARD CAN BE COMPENSATION COMPONENT AND NON-COMPENSATION COMPONENT. MONETARY PAYMENTS CAN BE IN THE FORM OF COINS PAPER MONEY OR IN THE LESS TANGIBLE FORM OF CHECKS OR CREDIT CARDS.

REWARDING EMPLOYEES

:

• Reward should be given on the basis of difference between standard goal and actual job performance • Reward system should be equal for the same level of job position and employee performances ▪ To reward employee need motivation. For motivation, need performance appraisal system. Performance Management is the integration of performance appraisal systems with broader human resource systems as means of aligning employees’ work behaviors with organization’s goals. Without motivation, no employee feels interest to do the job. ▪ Performance Management should be an ongoing, interactive process that is deigned to enhance employee capability and facilitate productivity.

[pic]

▪ Organization should have a standard goal of job performance. It can be setup by production measures, personal activities, performance, targets activities etc. And standard job has to be clear to every employee. They will try to achieve that standard goal. ▪ There salary and compensations structure should be more improved to match with present macroeconomics situation of our country. And they can maintain a better living standard. ▪ Before developing the salary structure, organization should consider individual equity, internal equity and external equity, Authority should give some power to employees; so that they motivate, inspire and responsible of some decision making for betterment of the organization. ▪ If they had to work forcefully or all decisions comes from top level; at that time they will not get enjoy doing that work. ▪ Authority should think employee’s career progression goal and feed back

COMPENSATION IN A KNOWLEDGE BASED GLOBAL ECONOMY

THE RISE OF GLOBAL MARKETS OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY AND INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY HAS PLACED GREATER STRESS ON ORGANIZATIONS REGARDING THEIR ABILITY TO COMPETE AND BE PROFITABLE. THE NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE IS CRITICAL TO ALL ORGANIZATIONS LIKE PROFIT AND NONPROFIT, PRIVATELY OWNED, OR GOVERNMENT ORIENTED. TO BE SUCCESSFUL, THESE ORGANIZATIONS MUST PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY GOODS AND SERVICES TO THEIR CLIENTS IN A COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER. A MAJOR COST FOR ALL ORGANIZATIONS IN PROVIDING NEEDED GOODS AND SERVICES IS THEIR LABOR COSTS. COMPETITIVE GLOBAL ECONOMY, ALL THE ORGANIZATION, PRIVATE AND PUBLIC, MUST BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON THE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCTS THEY ARE DESIGN TO OFFER. A KEY FACTOR IN PROMOTING EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES IN THE PROVISION OF A PERFORMANCE BASED REMUNERATION SYSTEM FOR ALL WORKERS.

COMPANY PROFILE

BRIEF HISTORY OF RAHIMAFROOZ

Late A. C. Abdur Rahim was the Founder of Rahimafrooz and he was born on 20 January 1915. At an early age he had to face obstacles and learned how to overcome them through diligence and courage. He was a dreamer. He believed that he would be successful one day if he worked hard. At last he achieved honor and recognition for his efforts. All his life he was an example of compassion and affection- towards all people around him, his family and people who worked with him. This is one of the values still cherished at Rahimafrooz.

He did not have the opportunity to go to school as a child and have formal education. But he was a self-taught man. He craved for knowledge. His attitude towards education is reflected in today’s Rahimafrooz, which takes pride as a learning organization. After a few years he left that job and ventured into a small partnership business. During early 1940s, he got active in commercial trading of scarce items and gained valuable experience.

He then established a small proprietary trading company named Rahimafrooz & Co, at Chittagong in 1950 which was later incorporated on 15th April 1954, which is now Rahimafrooz (Bangladesh) Ltd. Within 5 years, Mr. Rahim was able to enter into a joint venture with Lucas (UK) to set up a modern automotive battery factory. He acquired the principal company Lucas Service Ltd in 1980 which is now known as Rahimafrooz BatteriesLtd.

IISUES & OPPORTUNITIES

Performance appraisal data & information are used for making decisions in the following major areas:

• Organizational & human resource planning • Employee tanning & development • Compensation administration • Employee movement • Validation of selection process

Performance Appraisal: A Cost- effectiveness Analysis

In performance appraisal time problem can exist. Not only must job content can identified, but now time is required by the rater(supervisor) & rate(incumbent) in defining & prioritizing job duties & establishing performance dimensions & performance standards. Performance appraisal has a strong “dissatisfaction” component because in some manner (not necessarily logical, rational. systematic, justifiable, or explainable). The strength of universally applicable or generic performance appraisal instruments is that it does the following:

1. Covers a wide variety of job. 2. Is completed easily &quickly 3. Requires a minimal documentation 4. Is quantifiable 5. Is relatively easy & cheap to administer 6. Permits evasive actions to avoid unacceptable confrontations.

DESIGINING A JOB CONTENT- BASED PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROGRAM

The job definition now becomes the basis for the performance appraisal rating instrument. The responsibilities & duties of the job definition become transformed into dimensions & rating items.

RATING SCALE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

The desired strength of all rating scale techniques are that they a. be relatively easy to administer b. translate directly to quantitative terms c. permits standardization, thus allowing for comparability across various organizational lines(department, functions, occupations & jobs) d. Relate to various kinds of qualities or rating items.

PROCESS THAT FACILITATES IMPROVED RATING OBJECTIVELY IS AS FOLLOWS:

• Number of Rating scale intervals • Odd or even numbers of intervals Rating scale intervals • Rating scale descriptors

Numerical Anchors I I 1 10 Or Adjectival Anchors I I Unacceptable Acceptable

Terminal Anchors

Unsatisfactory: Performance clearly fails to meet minimum requirements.

Marginal: Performance occasionally fails to meet minimum requirements.

Satisfactory: Performance meets stated job requirements. (Other descriptors that can be used are average, proficient, acceptable, fully successful, or competent.)

Commendable: Performance consistently exceeds stated job requirements. (Other descriptors that can be used are good, fully proficient, above average, or highly successful.)

Superior: All aspects of performance clearly and specifically exceed stated job requirements.
Performance Standards

• A performance standard is a criterion used to measure an employee’s performance. • Setting standards to measure performance is neither new nor unusual. • A basic performance measurement problem facing all supervisors (raters) is that jobs cannot be made uniforms; they cannot be made standard.

Performance Standards at a Fully Acceptable Level of Performance

At a fully acceptable level of performance, a performance standard should do the following.

1. Enable the user to differentiate between acceptable and unacceptable results. 2. Present some challenge to the employee. 3. Be realistic- that is, it should be attainable by any qualified, proficient, and fully trained employee who has the necessary authority and resources. 4. Be a statement of the conditions that will exist and that will measure a job activity when it is performed acceptably, expressed in terms of quantity, quality, time, cost, effect obtained, manner of performance, or method of doing. 5. Related to or express a time frame for accomplishment. 6. At least be recognizable if not observable.

Compensation Management

...COMPENSATION MANAGEMENT Compensation is a key factor in attracting and keeping the best employees and ensuring that organization has the competitive edge in an increasingly competitive world. The Compensation Management component enables one to differentiate between one’s remuneration strategies and those of his competitors while still allowing flexibility, control and cost effectiveness.

The Management of Executive Compensation

...THE MANAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Posted on November 16, 2011 1 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Notes on THE MANAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION….. Executive compensation is the total remuneration or financial compensation a top executive receives within an organization. This includes a basic salary, any and all bonuses, shares options, and any other company benefit. Over the past three decades, executive compensation has risen dramatically beyond the rising levels of an average worker’s wage. Executive compensation is an important part of corporate governance, and is often determined by a company’s board of directors. Executive compensation is a very important thing to consider when evaluating an investment opportunity. Executives who are improperly compensated may not have the incentive to perform in the best interest of shareholders, which can be costly for those shareholders. While new laws and regulations have made executive compensation much clearer in company filings, many investors remain clueless as to how to find and read these critical reports. This article will take a look at the different types of executive compensation and how investors can find and evaluate compensation information. WHO IS AN EXECUTIVE? A person or group having administrative or managerial authority in an organisation. The chief officer of a government, state or political division. Chief executive officer (CEO), one of the highest-ranking corporate officers (executives) or administrators...

CRITICAL ISSUES FOR COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVES MANAGEMENT: THEORETICAL APPROACH Ramunė Čiarnienė, Milita Vienažindienė Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Co-operative College For most people, pay is a primary reason for working.

Management Compensation

...For organisations to achieve their goals, it is important that management control systems motivate managers and influence their behaviour to align their goals with the goals of the organisation (goal congruence). This can be achieved by reward and incentive systems because managers will tend to focus on the activities that are rewarded. Research have shown that people will be more motivated by the potential of earning rewards than by the fear of punishment. A managers total compensation package consists of salaries, benefits and an incentive compensation. Incentive compensation plans are divided into short-term and long-term plans. Under a short-term plan, managers are usually paid in cash. The total amount that can be paid out to employees in a given year is called the “bonus pool” and relates to the overall profitability in a current year. Bonus pools can be established setting the bonus equal to a set percentage of the profits or base bonuses on profitability relative to the industry. Under the short-term plan, some organisations might follow a deferred compensation plan, which spreads out the payments to managers over a period of years. Advantages of this are that managers can estimate their cash income for the year and even after retiring, the manager will continue to receive payments for a number of years. However, the payments may not relate to the performance in the year it was earned. With long-term plans, for an example, managers are usually given the option...

Axp Management Compensation

...A Snapshot of AXP Management Compensation Overview: Compensation Package Philosophy and Design The idea behind American Express (AXP) executive compensation program is to reward outstanding leadership that drives results and cultivates sustainable shareholder value. Paying awards in various time horizons from short term, medium term, to long term, the company works on aligning the interest of its shareholders and senior executives. A combination of fixed but predominantly variable awards is structured to encourage annual and sustainable performances. To study its executive compensation plan, the composition of payout package can be divided in terms of base salary, annual incentive award, cash portfolio grant award, performance restricted stock award, and stock option award (see Exhibit 1). CEO’s 50% versus other executive’s 59% short-term compensation encourages focus on long-term performances. In fact, “over 84% of the total direct compensation delivered in 2013 was variable and tied to performance, including financial results, strategic initiatives, and stock performance” (AXP Proxy Statement). A detailed description of the performance measurement is shown in Exhibit 2. Analysis: Management Performances versus Management Compensation The executive management at AXP may seem to be excessively over-compensated to some outside analysts but not to the internal board. From 2013 to 2014 (see Exhibit 3), target revenue growth of 8% annually was missed by half and EPS growth was...

Primary Components of Compensation Management

...Primary Components of Compensation Management By: Desteni Lawhorn HR434 Compensation Management Park University Submitted: April 24, 2011 Too much focus on trends and hot topics. Not enough focus on customizing programs and processes to address real needs. People have programs looking for an application rather than analyzing the issue and then determining what's the best program or process. Too many start at the end and work toward the beginning. Logically they should start at the beginning. -Bruce Ellig Compensation management is more than just remuneration to appeal or retain capable employees, it is the leverage an organization utilizes to obtain, and retain its human capital and provide competitive positions within the organization. Recently, Human Resource departments have focused on the latest compensation trends or are geared toward rewards without merit, relevance or fit. This is a common mistake as compensation management should be focused on primary components of job analysis, pay structure and salary surveys. Human Resource departments must apply these fundamentals in the compensation management system in order to integrate well in an organization. Compensation management affords an organization the ability to reward superior execution and maintain the top employees in a particular field that contribute to the overall success and profitability of an organization. Through utilization of the basic fundamentals, organizations can visibly assess the employee’s...

...and selection, conducting induction and ensuring that the company’s policies (such as health and safety and equal opportunities) complied with legislation. Typically, she would only visit regional offices to attend disciplinary or grievance meetings. Whilst the company has broad guidelines on how each department is managed, the general attitude among senior management at HQ has been that as long as each office is performing adequately, they are happy not to intervene or get too involved at regional level unless directly asked to do so. However following the recent growth of the firm from a relatively small, tight-knit organisation to a larger, more bureaucratic company, the senior managers are keen to introduce a ‘performance culture’ into the firm and to formalise and standardise its key HR processes. As part of an ongoing process of reviewing HR policies and practices at the regional sales offices, you have been asked to compile details of the way in which reward is handled in each office with a view to standardising practices across the firm. Currently, all basic pay is determined according to what senior management feel is the ‘going rate’ for sales representatives nationally through a rudimentary benchmarking exercise conducted every two years by the...

Compensation Management

...Compensation management theories Reinforcement theory Reinforcement theory proposes that you can change someone’s behavior by using reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Rewards are used to reinforce the behavior you want and punishments are used to prevent the behavior you do not want. Extinction is a means to stop someone from performing a learned behavior. Reinforcement is a behavioral construction where control is achieved by manipulating the consequences of behavior. A business manager using reinforcement theory might employ reward for desirable behavior by staff and punishments for undesirable behavior to help steer employees toward intended performance goals. Reinforcement theory states that a response followed by a reward is more likely to recur in the future (Thorndike's Law of Effect). The implication for compensation management is that high employee performance followed by a monetary reward will make future high performance more likely. By the same token, high performance not followed by a reward will make it less likely in the future. The theory emphasizes the importance of a person actually experiencing the reward. TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT Positive Positive reinforcement results when the occurrence of a valued behavioral consequence has the effect of strengthening the probability of the behavior being repeated. The specific behavioral consequence is called a reinforcer. Example, sales person that exact extra effort to meet a sales quota (behavioral)...
