pride at the Bank’s accomplishments but also keep looking forward and adapt to the changing
landscape of the future to position the Bank as a dynamic financial service provider.

13 Job Analysis
Hiring is the key importance to the overall
productivity of Canadian businesses. A well put
together job description is a good business
investment because it can be used to support
most HR functions: recruitment, selection,
orientation, training, work plans, compensation,
performance reviews and legal defense.
7
Allied Bank Limited.
Job descriptions explain the key responsibilities of the actual position, reporting relationships
and work environment. The first step in writing or rewriting job descriptions is job analysis. Job
analysis is an in-depth study of a job. It provides information for job descriptions. In doing the
analysis, you or an employee will gather information about jobs through interviewing employees,
observing performance of certain tasks, asking employees to fill out questionnaires and
worksheets, and collecting information about a job from secondary sources such as the National
Occupational Classification (NOC) system. deleted or modified. Here are few steps for job
analysis in Allied Bank Limited:
13.1 Understand the job
Start by developing a complete understanding of the position. This is the foundation on which
hiring is based. In conducting your analysis, consider:
All of the duties and responsibilities of the position
Their scope and level
The context in which these are to be performed
The amount of responsibility, authority and accountability required to perform the work
The major and minor activities
13.2 Identify Performance Behaviours
Next, identify examples of behaviour that you would use to evaluate the quality of the work.
Identify examples of both effective and ineffective behaviours. To do this, ask yourself:
What are the performance expectations for superior performance?
How do you know someone is doing an excellent, satisfactory or poor job?
How does it look when a high performer is doing an excellent job or when a poor
performer is doing an unsatisfactory job?
13.3 Essential Competencies
Using the examples of behaviour as a basis, identify and choose only the most critical/ essential
competencies required to demonstrate high performance. Differentiate between high performers
and average performers:
There should be no more than 6 to 10 competencies selected for a role or job. Remember,
fewer are better.
The key is to select only the most critical/essential competencies required to demonstrate
high performance. While all competencies may seem desirable, they are not all critical.
Familiarize yourself types of competencies and skills.
Next, sort the competencies based on how critical or essential each one is. You could sort each of
the competencies into one of four groups:
Critical/essential
Important/significant
Less important/learn on the job
Not applicable
8
Allied Bank Limited.
When determining how critical or essential a Competencies, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
(CKSA) is, consider factors such as:
The difficulty or criticality of the tasks being performed
The impact on job outcomes
The impact on the performance of other employees
The consequence of error if the CKSA is not present
How frequently the CKSA is used on the job
Whether the CKSA is required at when the job starts or can be learned or acquired on the
job within the first six months
When completed sorting, review and make any adjustments that are needed. Count the number of
CKSA you sorted in the Critical/Essential and Important/Significant groups. There should be
between 6 and 10 competencies. If you have more than that number, you can rank the
competencies in your Important/Significant group and pick only the highest ranking that provide
you with an appropriate number of competencies. Put all others aside. If you ended up with
fewer than an appropriate number of competencies, then rank the competencies in your Less
Important/Learn on the Job group and pick only the highest ranking to add to the
Important/Significant group, providing you with an appropriate number of competencies. Put all
others aside. The competencies you have chosen form the CKSA portion of the qualifications for
the job.
13.4 Identify Target Performance Level
Target levels refer to the types of behaviors demonstrated by high performers. They are not
minimum standards. The key is to select the target level that high performers demonstrate most
of the time (general rule - 75% of the time). While all people may be able to demonstrate a level
once, target levels refer to what they do most of the time. To assist you, think about what a high
performer in the job demonstrates most of the time when they are engaged in that competency.
Do not select an inappropriately high target level. Setting the bar too high can lead you to hiring
no one. The focus is on trying to describe reality, not ideals. Once you have set the Target Level,
you should also set the minimum acceptable level required at job start. You could set Level 1 as
the lowest possible level and 5 as the highest. Ensure the minimum level is also realistic.
13.5 Experience, Education and Training Needed
Review the final list of Competencies, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (CKSA) and determine
the various ways in which these could be acquired through education, experience (work,
volunteer and/or life) and/or training. It may be helpful to consider the background of high-
performing employees in this type of position. Be sure to include as many of the equivalent
combinations of education and experience as possible. Consider the availability of qualified
people in the job market and ensure the qualifications are reasonable given that market. It is
important to determine a qualification that is appropriate to the job on day one and not
inappropriately high or low. If qualifications are set too high, candidates that have the
competencies may be inadvertently eliminated at the screening stage before having the
9
Allied Bank Limited.
opportunity to prove themselves. Alternatively, if the qualifications are set too low, most of the
applicants will need to be considered which can be a time-consuming process and many may not
have the required competencies.
13.6 Special Considerations
Now is the time to identify and include any special considerations you may wish to include.
Some jobs may require additional specific criteria like the following:
Criminal records review
Drivers, firearms or other licenses
Professional designations (for example: Professional Engineer)
Occupational certifications
Physical requirements to lift heavy objects, work in strenuous situations etc.
Willingness statements (for example: willingness to work in dusty or noisy environments
13.7 Review and Finalize
At this point you have completed the job analysis process. This final step is to give you an
opportunity to stand back and take a second look at your work to ensure its valid and stands the
common-sense check. To do this, ask yourself the following questions:
Given what I know about the accountabilities of this job/role, are the Competencies,
knowledge skills and abilities chosen really the most critical ones? Will they help me
identify the difference between a high performer and a poor one?
Do the behavioral levels identified really define what high or poor performers actually do
in this job/role?
Are the experience, education and training requirements related to the CKSA chosen:
job-related, inclusive, reasonable and appropriate?
Have all necessary special considerations been included?
If you answered no to any of these questions, review your work and make adjustments so that
you can answer each question with a yes. If you answered yes to all of the questions, finalize
your Statement of Qualifications. These may now be added to Job Descriptions, included in
applicant packages and advertisements, and used as a basis for determining the most appropriate
assessment methods to be used in the hiring process.
13.8 Using Results
The list of qualifications and competencies developed through job analysis are used to create:
The Statement of Qualifications to be attached to Job Descriptions
Advertising content and/or applicant information packages
Criteria for short listing applicants
As a basis for determining the most effective assessment
methods

14 Recruitment
To get hired for the job there is complete process. First of the candidate have to send an
application for the job to the company. The company checks the application. This is only when
there is vacancy will be announced by the company. Now there are two words labor and
executive. They both are different. Any new candidate who applies for the job will be known as
the executive. Now the question is that if the new candidate who applies for the job as a labor
then is he will be called as the executive? No there is not such a concept. The labor is one who
apply for the job on the post of the labor or low class labor will be known as the labor but if a
candidate applies for the superior job i.e. manager, HOD etc then he/she will be known as
executive. It will remain executive till he got the experience of one year at the company. Now
there is a difference in the hiring of labor and executive for the job.
14.1 Criteria for labor
There is no hard and fast rule for the hiring of labor.
They can approach for the job from the newspaper.
They can also approach from the notices of the job those will display on the notice board
of the company only when the vacancy will be announced.
The vacancy for the labor will be posted in the local and as well as national level
newspaper.
There is no such a need of qualification for this job but the experience is required by the
company that one who is willing to apply for the job will must have the experience of 1
year at least.
14.2 Criteria for executive
Executive are the managers or the people who are qualified and apply for the middle or
the top-level management.
These are the persons for those the qualification or the study matters, obviously if a
person want to apply for the highest post the education, knowledge is the thing that
matters.
If there is a need for a person as executive for a specific job then the HOD of that
particular department tells or announces the vacancy that I need the person for that
particular job. For example, the HOD of sales department will announce the vacancy that
there is a need for the sales person.
If there is another person who has to announce the vacancy for any department then the
HOD of that department will sent the requirements for the job and then the vacancy will
be announced in the newspaper, notice board etc.
The company also does the college hiring for the executive in which the company visit
some colleges and universities and then start doing interview of the students those are
willing to apply for the job. Basically, this concept is running in many other cities and it
will start soon in the Faisalabad too. And the company from where it starts this college
hiring will be from the UCP FSD campus.
14.3 Channels of Recruitment
There are basically two channels for the recruitment those are discussed below.
11
Allied Bank Limited.
15 Selection
Selection is almost the final stage of the employee to be selected
in the company. For this purpose, the candidate has to give the
interview for the selection. Interview sessions those are conducted
by the company are of two types. These are described below.
12
Allied Bank Limited.
16 Employee Orientation
Employee orientation is part of a long-term investment in a new employee. It is an initial process
that provides easy access to basic information, programs and services, gives clarification and
allows new employees to take an active role in their organization.
Introduce new employees to their new environment
Make new employees feel welcome and comfortable
Retain a pool of new, capable employees
16.1 Benefits:
Establish clear standards that help reduce disputes and limit liability
Promote consistent management
Inform new employees of the company’s policies
Demonstrate a commitment to equal treatment of personnel
Provide protection from claims of discrimination and sexual harassment
In some organizations, an employee handbook is available to all employees. The content of the
handbook covers the key topics covered in an orientation session for new employees.
16.2 What should employee orientation programs include?
An orientation program helps the employee understand their assigned duties, terms and
conditions of employment as well as the organizational culture. It provides the following
information:
16.2.1 Welcome employee to company
Orientation to business:
History
Mission Statement
Goals and Objectives
Organizational structure, e.g. Own job description and relationship of position to other
positions
Future Plans
Company policies and procedures, for example:
13
Allied Bank Limited.
Dress Code
Reporting Procedures
Smoking Restrictions
Expense Claims
Legislation
Safety procedures
Emergency procedures
Operating telephone system,
Who to call for repairs
14
Allied Bank Limited.
The person who has to give the training to the employees is from the company every person who
trained the employees will must have the experience of at least 5 years.
A complete booklet or file is given to the employees in whom the complete detail of training
session, time table, duration etc is mentioned clearly. Employee gets this file but beside this a
short meeting of 1 to 2 hours is conducted and tells everything about the training session to the
employees orally too. This is because it minimizes and clears every ambiguity in the mind of
employee (if any) regarding the training session.
Well this is the criteria of giving training to those who the company thinks to be trained. This
training is given to the employees on identifying the problem. But beside this there is also
another training that is given to the employees those are newly hired after completing their
graduation or study time period. This training session is for 3 months in which the experienced
employees of the company give them training. These trainers are from every department i.e. if an
employee is hired in the marketing department then the trainer will be from the marketing
department who will train them. This is criteria of on the job training.
15
Allied Bank Limited.
There is a reason behind it that company always searches for the innovators and the company has
these types of employees who have the ability to bring out the positive change.
19 Compensation Management
19.1 Rewards
Rewards are of two types monetary and non-monetary. Monetary reward is to give the basic
salary to the employees while non-monetary reward is to give some incentives, appreciation etc.
here is again an example of Asad Sahab. That one person in the company who performed extra
and got the benefits and rewards. He got a car as a reward on achieving the target in july 2016. In
this way many other employees are there in the company who got many rewards. Rewards are
also in the form of promotion but as discussed before that promotion is always depend on the
performance.
19.2 Punishment
A punishment criterion is same to every person belongs to the company. Whether he is a security
guard or he is CEO. Every person who breaks the rules will be punished. At the time of
orientation, the rules and regulations were told in detailed form and the punishments also
described to them. Some of the rules are defined below.
Always park vehicle in the parking or otherwise the one who break the rule will be
punished.
Don’t smoke in the office hours.
Mobile usage during working hours is prohibited.
Dressing must be according to the dress code defined by the company.
For the wrong parking and cell usage during working hours the fines are defined below:
Labor = Rs. 30
Manager = Rs. 350
Senior officer = Rs. 550
CEO = Rs. 6500 etc.
Similarly, many others punishments are also mentioned in the company’s policy on breaking the
rules.
There is also rule that anyone can complain for anyone but only when someone don’t perform a
duty that is giver to him. For example, that if it is a duty of HR manager that check out the
discipline (checking the cleanliness of offices) and if senior officer go to his office and see there
is a dust on his table then he is free to complain about the HR manager that he doesn’t check this
thing that whether the officer is clean or not.
16
Allied Bank Limited.
17
Allied Bank Limited.
The company focus on this theory and strongly work upon it the by proving and fulfilling
all these needs of employees and then the result from the employee is always positive.
22 CHAPTER 5
23 SWOT ANALYSIS
24 5.1 Strengths
1. One of the chief idea of ABL that I perceive is the speedier cash related affiliations and
ceaselessly clear in banking industry particularly in errands and Foreign Exchange. Practical
affiliations and sensible affiliations charges are drawing in the broad framework to do their
business with ABL.
2. ABL has completely modernized control on its budgetary structure because of this office
the ABL is in the smart audit of totally mechanized bank.
3. Internal control and checking of the ABL Bank is possible Quality Control Expert visits
on various events every week at bank working conditions which asks the agents to improve their
work.
4. Due to astute cash related affiliations, clear budgetary affiliations and completely
computerized PC structure accomplished joining of experienced individuals, moved the board,
advance setup and work environments gave ABL an edge over its foes.
5. Most private banks have still not online a large portion of their branches in Pakistan but
rather the ABL has the greater part of its branches on the web. They have wide zone structure in
wherever all through the Pakistan, with the target that they spread a gigantic measure of part of
money exchanges and make client fulfilled
18
Allied Bank Limited.
6. The Bank has especially true basics and standards about the client's dissents. The clients
are treated as interesting people as for the Bank.
9. ABL has been yielded as Euro cash Award 2008 for the "Best Bank in Asia.
10. Best Bank In Pakistan Award: ABL has been yielded the best bank in Pakistan since
2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2006
2. No trickiness working environments are open in the bank when client visits Bank and
keep it together for at longer time. These working environments can be the Newspaper.
Magazines, and so on.
3. Out look of the ABL branches isn't enamoring to the broad framework.
4. In this time of discussion a wide piece of the banks publicizing their moving things and
affiliations yet no business I have seen on any channel with respect to their things and
affiliations.
5. Equality ought to be watched all through budgetary structure. There should no restraint
among the clients. As I saw at the branch where I worked outstandingly off clients were given
the other than energizing affiliations while the clients who have low undertaking with the bank
kept it together for long for their turn.
6. At private interfacing banks there is routinely exchange of experts after a standard time of
one and a half years or two years while at ABL branch where I did my direction level position
most by a wide margin of the administrators are working over three years. Occupation Rotation
help the experts to find two or three courses of action concerning diverse zones of the business
which I perceive is absent at ABL.
19
Allied Bank Limited.
25 5.3 Opportunities
1. ABL has the Strongest Bank in Pakistan Award 2010. ABL in like way got the
Leadership Achievement Award 2010. ABL has been yielded as Euro cash Award 2008 for the
"Best Bank in Asia.
2. Best Bank in Pakistan Award: ABL has been yielded the best bank in Pakistan since
2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2006.
3. These refinements sway an edge in the cerebrum of individuals to contribute and get from
this bank.
4. Before privatization individuals were not content with the relationship of the bank. After
the privatization individuals have moving choices to contribute and get from. The ABL in light
of its more than 10 years execution it gets the chances to pull in the clients
26 5.4 Threats
1. The reduced getting effect of purchaser in the present cash related state of the nation
impacting the business improvement speed superfluously and the outcome is the low hypothesis
from the inspectors in new premiums can make issue for the hank since it is working a ton in this
way.
2. The Competition has wound up being shocking by the general population from such
unending. So to exist one should substantiate himself in its relationship through staggering
alliance and should fulfill its money related experts. Else it will he out the market
3. New Privates Bank acclimated with developing new Technology of IT. This
straightforwardness of fragment in the market is the risk to the ABL bank.
Change in government approaches has impacted the money related business. Still banks need to
get a handle on get consent from the State Bank of Pakistan. The setting up of outside money
accounts is a focal occasion of letting individuals not to trust on banks
Segment 6
20
Allied Bank Limited.
27 6.1 Conclusion
ABL is most obvious business bank working in Pakistan and wide branch compose working in
Pakistan and abroad. Amidst my concise work I see that ABL is trying to give better client
alliance structure its enemies to pull in and hold the clients.
Staff of ABL is especially qualified and self activated, without one expert, other administrator
can deal with his work, since workers of ABL are train in more than one business. ABL is giving
24-hour working conditions to its clients by ATM. staff of ABL are uncommonly satisfying and
dependable. Structure the degree examination I translate that general execution of ABL is
strikingly unrivaled.
1. ABL is utilizing its focal concentrates feasibly and ABL have broadening return on
resources
4. ABL can offer reliably advance and extra advances to its clients
2. Internee ought to be give completely thought and give them some fit work is supervision
of division officer.
3. ABL should give some additional central fixations to its directors to ask them
4. ABL ought to improve its offer cost in market to improve its cost/getting degree
21
Allied Bank Limited.
5. To improve net spread degree ABL should need to improve its net intrigue edge.
6. ABL is in position to offer advances, ABL should offer credits/advance to its client to
win more
