be solved with help of technology and make the city life experience better, years of accumulated
frustration with car parking led to a very unique concept for the solution of a daily life problem.
That concept was park.usa, a platform where people can rent their unused parking hours to
someone who need it most. That is how a huge amount of unused residential parking hours could
be useful for cat drivers before who had no choice but street parking. Currently, the company is

The company wanted to give the same service as they provide in the USA as they saw the
problems that occur within Bangladesh and the opportunities within Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a
developing country so there is not any application-based service which is of this caliber as

2.0 Job analysis
Before any job is recruited for or advertised, it is essential to identify what the need is what kind
of skills and behaviors are required for an individual to be successful in the role. Job Analysis is
a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and requirements and the
relative importance of these duties for a given job. Job Analysis is a process where judgments are
made about data collected on a job.
2.1 There are 3 types of job analysis that park.usa can use:
Job requirements - Which says collecting information on activities performed on the job and use
this information to assess needed KSAOs (Knowledge Skill Ability Other Characteristics) for
each job. Therefore, for park.usa if they want to make a job analysis based on job requirements
then with the right KSAO of the employees they have to provide a proper job description and the
required job specifications.
Job Competency- Is collecting information on company strategy and use this information to
determine KASOs and capabilities needed across the organization. Therefore, if park.usa wants
to make a job analysis based on job competency then with the right company strategy they have
to provide a. For example, if they may have a pay first system with proper KASOs.
Job Rewards- Which is collecting information from employees on preferences and the outcomes
of jobs and combine with preferences identified in the labor market as a whole. Therefore, if
park.usa wants to make job analysis based on job rewards then with proper compensation or
rewards they have to provide the job descriptions and the required job specifications. For
example, they may provide low price parking in off-peak hours for car owners.
"Job analysis" is a blend of both a Job Description and a Person Specification or outline of the
type of person who would fit the role.
Job description includes information such as job title, job location, reporting to and of
employees, job summary, nature and objectives of a job, tasks and duties to be performed,
working conditions, machines, tools and equipment to be used by a prospective worker and
hazards involved in it.
The job description of the technical team should include the following:
- Excellent working knowledge of the different platforms, both for smartphones and tablets.
- Exceptionally adept at the use of computers running under the various operating systems,
Windows and Mac included.
- Good in IT programming and has an in-depth knowledge of the different computer languages
such as C++, Java, HTML, MySQL, PHP, Objective-C, and Wireless Networks.
- Have proper connections with computer analysts and engineers in applying the various
languages for creating and developing the mobile apps.
Prior information
Prior information is always available for any job and this information should be continuously
searched for. It is the starting point of the job analysis. For example, current job descriptions,
job-specific policies or procedures, or job information from other employers. There are also
sample job descriptions online. The job analyst can also use the existing ratings as a benchmark
to compare with. Hence will preparing job analysis park.usa will use the existing information of
employees to prepare a job analysis.
Observation
Observation is most appropriate for jobs with physical components and relatively short job
cycles. The method may involve a lot of time and costs. The ability of the observer to do a
thorough and accurate analysis is questionable. The method will require coordination with and
approval from many people the incumbents being observed may distort their behavior during
observation in self-serving ways.
Interviews
Interviewing job incumbents and others respect the interviewee’s vast source of information
about the job. The interview format allows the interviewer to explain the purpose of the job
analysis and how the results will be used. There are limitations to this method. Time-consuming
and costly which can lead to jeopardizing the reliability and validity. It may lead to suspicion and
distrust when not providing anonymity. The skill of the interviewer influences the quality of the
information. The success of the interview also depends on the skills and abilities of the
interviewee like formulating skills.
Task Questionnaire
This is a list of task statements that cut across many different job titles and is administered to
incumbents in these job titles. The incumbent can answer on a rating scale. PAQ is a very
popular method, which distinguishes six major divisions: information input, mental processes,
work output, interpersonal activities, work situation and job context, miscellaneous aspects.
Employee compensation in park.usa refers to all form of pay or rewards going to the employee
and arising from their employment and it has two main components, namely direct financial
payment and others is a non-financial payment to increments of time and performance. Time-
based payment is still more popular. Employee benefits & services were formerly known as
fringe benefits and these benefits were primarily the in-kind payments employees receive in
addition to payments in the form of money. In addition to paying employees fairly and
adequately for their contributions to the performance of their jobs. Protection in case of health &
accident Income upon retirement & terminations. These benefits are components that contribute
to the welfare of the employee by filling some kind of demand. Incentives are very much helpful
for motivating employees. Incentives add to base pay. It controls costs because the employee is
being paid for his/her extra effort and the benefits brought to the organization.
3.4 park.usa will be following the local government policy while paying the
compensation to the employees
To increase the efficiency of hiring, it is recommended that the HR team of park.usa follow the
five best practices. These five practices ensure successful recruitment without any interruptions.
In addition, these practices also ensure consistency and compliance in the recruitment process.
The five practices are discussed below:
4.9 Screening
Screening starts after completion of the process of sourcing the candidates. Screening is the
process of filtering the applications of the candidates for further selection process. Screening is
an integral part of recruitment process that helps us in removing unqualified or irrelevant
candidates, which were received through sourcing. The screening process of recruitment consists
of three steps:
4.10 Reviewing of Resumes and Cover Letters
Reviewing is the first step of screening candidates. In this process, the resumes of the candidates
are reviewed and checked for the candidates’ education, work experience, and overall
background matching the requirement of the job. While reviewing the resumes, an HR executive
must keep the following points in mind, to ensure better screening of the potential candidates:
Reason for change of job
Longevity with each organization
Long gaps in employment
Job-hopping
Lack of career progression
Park.usa has recently decided to expand its operations into subsidiary countries. The changing
business requirements may need hiring employees from the subsidiary country i.e. from the host
country nationals. Employing a global workforce will be requiring adaptation of global training
and development strategies to be an integral part of the business.
The company first needs to conduct the needs assessment process on three levels. These are
After conduction the needs assessment, our company will decide on the training aspects and
the methods of training to develop our employees coming from the parent country nationals
and the subsidiaries i.e. the host country nationals. In most cases, the same strategy to train
the parent country employees and the host country employees will not be successful because
of the differences in their culture, structure, international business strategy, policy, and
managerial structure. Based on these factors the employees and expatriates need to be
provide with adequate training.
Pre departure Training: Pre-departure training for expatriates will brief our soon to be
expatriates on what to expect when living and working abroad. It will allow them to
personalize the learnings from the training to anticipate and plan for challenges they
and their family may face when on duty abroad. It will include -
Cultural training: Cultural training equips expatriates on the culture of the
subsidiary country .The aspects of the culture are necessary in training that
comprise of history, politics, culture, economy, social, religion, business
practices, housing and sensitivity training for flexible attitudes. The company
will provide cross-cultural training for probation that employees are sent to
overseas subsidiaries as it affects the professional effectiveness in business
responsibilities of expatriate’s goal achievement.
Practical Training: Practical training will be provided to the expatriates and
their family to help them adapt successfully at the workplace and the country.
Expatriates are quick integration with workmate. This training teaches about
the best workplace practices globally in the standard manner.
Language Training: Prior assignment the expatriate will receive training on the
basics of the host country’s language .An expatriate having good host country
language skills will have improved access to information once they move
abroad and it will help them build connections, which is an essential element
of expat success.
Diversity Training: Diversity training in our company will address all the
unique things about employees; their race, color, ethnicity, language,
nationality, sexual orientation, religion, gender, socio-economic status, age,
and physical and mental ability – and the manner in which we collaborate at
the workplace.
Repatriation training: This training will be provided to our employees after
completing of the international assignment in order to adjust back to previous
culture, work and role so that employee can adapt well with totally different
culture and prevent them culture shock.
Our company will adopt the following training methods to train and develop its workforce:
1. Technology-Based Learning
2. Simulators: Simulators are used in our company to imitate real work experiences to give
the employees a real idea of the task to be performed.
3. On-The-Job Training: The Company will go for this training method for selective
employees to let them gather knowledge on how to perform the job by doing it
practically. Employees will learn more efficiently if they learn hands-on, rather than
listening to an instructor.
4. Coaching/Mentoring: Coaching/mentoring will give our employees a chance to receive
training one-on-one from an experienced professional.
5. Group Discussions & Tutorials: This method will allow employees to discuss issues
concerning task assigned and will also give them a platform to voice their opinions and
ideas to and help build a collaborative and cooperative workplace.
The performance appraisal part is very essential for every company in order to increase
employee productivity and for the improvement of the results. It is a process where an
employee’s performance and productivity are evaluated using a predetermined set of objectives.
Some methods of performance appraisals are:
1. Management by objectives: it means that the performances will be rated against the
achievements of the objectives set by the management of park.usa. This method is new and has
gained popularity among other organizations.
Goals are established or set for each employee.
Performance standards will be set.
There will be a clear comparison between the goals set and the goals attained by the
employee.
This method is ideal for measuring the output of senior post holders like managers and directors.
2. 360-degree feedback: this is one kind of review where all kinds of feedbacks are received
from the managers, the employees and even from other team members.
This method has some important components like:
Self appraisals- this helps the employees to look back at their performances and gives them a
scope to improve their weaknesses and work with their strengths.
Managerial reviews-this is a common traditional way of appraisals done by the managers of
the company. The reviews will include individual employee ratings monitored by the
supervisors.
Customer reviews: these reviews help to evaluate the output of an employee better.
These appraisals are helpful to measure the inter-personal skills, customer satisfaction and team
building skills.
3. Psychological appraisals: these appraisals are used to see the hidden talents or potentials of the
employees. By focusing and analyzing the employee’s future performances rather than the past
ones. To assess the employees effectively, in-depth interviews, psychological tests, and
discussion with supervisors and review of other evaluations are done. It is deeply focused on
employees emotional, intellectual, and motivational and other personal characteristics which can
affect his or her performance.
4. Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS): it compares employee performance with
specific behavioral examples that are anchored to numerical ratings. Using BARS, the
management can generate critical incidents that depict typical workplace behavior. The
statements help to measure an individual’s performance against predetermined standards that are
applicable to their role and job level. This method helps to eliminate biases and ensure fairness
throughout the process.
5. Assessment Centre Method: this helps the employees to see a clear picture of how they are
being observed by others and how it has an effect on their job performances. The employees are
told to participate in informal discussions, decision making problems, fact finding exercises and
other exercises to make sure they are successful in their roles. This method is very useful to see
the insight of the employee’s personality like ethics, personality, patience at work, adaptability
etc.
6. Critical incident method: here the employees will be evaluated based on certain events or
situations where they will either succeed or fail badly in the process. Throughout the process, the
evaluator maintains a digital or physical journal in which they store the information from the
different incidents.
7. Human resource cost accounting method: here the analysis of the employee’s performance is
determined by the monetary benefits they earn for the company.
7.0 Conclusion
Park.usa reduces traffic congestion due to improper parking and reduces accidents due to
inappropriate parking. For a company, it’s very important to have proper system in every
department. Human resource department is one of the most vital department for a company and
this department should maintain the actual process like recruiting, selecting, performance
appraisal, etc. Park.usa will maintain these guidelines so that the employee doesn’t lose their
mindset of working. We will try to ensure all the benefits which will motivate them to work
more dedicatedly. A company must ensure the quality and process of recruitment, training and
development, performance, selection, etc. Without the proper set of guideline, a company can’t
sustain. They will collapse within a short time.
