Introduction
This chapter discusses the origin of the report, objectives of the report methodology and
limitations of the study.
1.1 Origin of the Report
In today's dynamic environment, it can be seen that employees face heavy workloads and long
working hours, which has a significant impact on them and their families' lives. Work-life
balance is a fundamental theme in both professional business practice and academic study.
"Work-life balance is becoming a trending area of research in various fields such as sociology,
psychology".
Additionally, several researchers have noted that when assessing work-family relationships, it
treats family life as time spent with spouse and children, while ignoring other important aspects
of family, such as time spent with parents, siblings, and other relatives.
Work-life balance is the interaction between work and other activities that include family,
community, leisure and personal development. It is also about the correct or balanced
combination of an individual's participation in work and other aspects of his life.
Various literatures provide a variety of definitions of work-life balance. For example: Jamil and
Rahim and Hashem state that work-life balance is "equilibrium or maintaining an overall sense
of harmony in life." Similarly, work-life balance as "the degree to which an individual's success
and satisfaction in work and family roles fit well with the individual's life priorities."
Employee performance is not only related to actions but also involves the process of assessment
and evaluation. In order for an employee to make the right decisions and decisions, he should
have a work-life balance.
In Bangladesh, the issue of work-life balance is on the rise, companies are becoming more
sensitive to their names and regulations, and employees who are not only looking for work, but
want to be cared for by the organization are also taking the lead. their well-being, but these
practices are limited to some applications such as leave arrangements (which are permitted by
law), care services (restricted to specific organizations), some flexible working arrangements and
the like, but with a very limited scope, companies want.
Vacations also give employees an opportunity to relieve work stress and create a balance
between work and family activities. Holiday entitlement is generally backed by law, but granting
it whenever employees want it is a bit tricky.
Working hours and work stress Long working hours also have adverse effects on family
members and relationships, people who cannot spend time with their children and other family
members often feel stressed and guilt further leads to low performance. Generally, working
hours are set as standard in Bangladesh, but the banking sector has delays, urgent and stressful
7
projects, which in turn have left the employees with longer working hours, which makes them
stressed.

schemes a form is given to them. They can be verified by their color. Bottle green
savings A/C form, blue DPS A/C form, green FDR A/C form, orange current A/C
form.
3. Nominee
The applicant needs a nominee for his account. If the A/C holder deceased, the
nominee becomes the A/C holder.

responsibility that the applicant is good in nature and will follow all the rules of the
bank.

21
5. Required Documents

 National Id
To verify applicant some documents are needed. For this national id card is
the most relevant source.

 Photo Id
But sometimes the applicant may not have the id card. For that a photo id
from their work place or educational institution (in case of Onkur &
Projonmo) is required. Both the applicant and the nominee require photo id.

 Birth Certificate
Sometimes without any photo id only applicants birth certificate can be
relevant if they have a referrer.

6. Information gathered
Information gathered from the applicants from both talking face to face and
from the gathered documents. Direct conversation is very important because
the A/C opening officer can identify the applicants mental state and can collect
some of the information that’s not available in the gathered documents like
contact number.

Also, the A/C opening officer verifies the income source of the applicant and
set the transaction parameter of the A/C.

7. Signing the agreements


The applicants have to sign agreeing the procedures. The applicant must use
that same signature to every transaction with the bank. If the applicant wants
SMS and ATM service, then they have to sign extra two papers.

8. Checking Information
The authorized officer checks all the information given by the applicant. A/C is
opened if all information is correct but any wrong information leads the officer
to call the applicant to verify, if the applicant not response within a month,
then the officer will not submit the form.

9. A/C Holder
Then the applicant become the A/C holder. Bank then give the A/C holder one
paybook and cheque book. The cheque book usually comes to the branch after
3 working days from submitting a form.

23
2.11 Closing of an Account:

An A/C could be closed for two reasons,


I. By the bank.
II. By the client.
The bank: If any client doesn’t make any transaction within two years and the
account balance becomes lower than the minimum balance i.e., 1000tk then the bank
has the right to close that account.

By customer: Client himself can close his own account. For that, he must write an application to
the manager requesting him to close his account.
In this situation, at first the client submits an application to the manger with his/her signature and
mentioning the reason for why he wants to close his/her account. Then the officer will verify the
signature with the scanned cope of the original form. After that different department of the bank
will certify that he/she has no liabilities to the bank. Then clients account will be debited. At last,
in the name of account holder the bank will issue a pay order.

Chapter Three: Theoretical Perspective

3.1 Work Life Balance

According to Pocock 2003, “a lack of balance between the changing nature of life and workplace
cultures as a clash between work and life. Insufficient work-life balance is an issue that poses a
major risk to workers' well-being, including their own performance. As societies become
complex, leaving individuals with conflicting responsibilities and commitments, work-life
balance has become a leading issue in the workplace (Fischlmayr & Kollinge, 2010). improved
concern for individual lives/family values and workforce management has made this significant
(Parus 2010). Many companies have responded to the evolving set of challenges and influencing
factors associated with work-life balance by applying some of the various factors that could
promote balance. For example, in the Netherlands, 81 percent of women with two or more
children aged 0-14 work less than 30 hours a week, compared to 68 percent in Europe. While in
Japan, they are still reluctant to intervene in practices that could help balance work and personal
life in the workplace, fearing rising labor costs and believing that this is an area best left to
employers and employees to negotiate (Fagnani 2012).
Work-life balance practices help employees to balance both the work domain and the life sphere
similarly, if it supports the employer, to increase the employee's performance (Greenhaus &
Beutell, 2010). Some of the influencing factors include working hours and flexibility, job
satisfaction and job autonomy.
3.2 Work Life Balance Theories

Various experts have put forward several theories to explain the work-life connection and
various aspects of the relationship between work, personal and family life.
3.3 Work Life Balance Benefits

There are many benefits to managing a good work-life balance, but finding the right balance is
one that remains a challenge. To find the right balance, it is necessary to prioritize some aspects
of everyday life and organize proper time management. Gavin, Cooper, and Quick's (2004)
research on work-life balance in the workplace provided a very different approach and ways of
prioritizing, further arguing that when work or family life spills over an individual must
prioritize their emotions and work. The positive implications of the benefits of work-life balance
that employers can derive from practice are also abundant (Commission of the European
Communities, 2008)
 Reduction of absenteeism and tardiness
 Reduced turnover and consequently lower recruitment and training costs
associated with replacing absent employees
25
 Increased capacity to attract a wider range of candidates and retain high-
quality employees, both male and female, in a competitive labor market
(organizational attractiveness)
 Higher performance and motivation among employees and improved
productivity.
 Increased efficiency and cost effectiveness resulting from reduced downtime
or overhead costs (employees working from home)
 Improving teamwork, communication and relationships between employees
and customers
 Creation and maintenance of competitive advantage and innovation,
contributing to the improvement of competitiveness.
 Better representation of employers
 Reduced likelihood of unethical business practices.
According to Lockwood (2003), an employer's commitment to work-family initiatives is
influenced by the perception of whether or not such initiatives provide productive returns. In the
past decade, employers have increasingly recognized that the quality of employees' personal and
family lives affects the quality of work, and that there are tangible business reasons for
supporting work-family integration. The author also suggests key factors for measuring returns
in work-family programs such as: employee time savings, employee retention, increased
motivation and productivity, absenteeism, reduced health care costs, and stress-related illnesses.

3.4 Principles of work-life balance


Positional work-life balance practices and employee perceptions result in job satisfaction,
organizational commitment, job stress, and turnover intention. All of these factors subsequently
affect job performance, direct and indirect costs of absenteeism, costs associated with the loss
and replacement of valued employees, customer satisfaction and organizational productivity.
Some companies have attempted to quantify the results of specific policies. The most commonly
used organizational performance measures include the following:

26
And employee benefits or employee bottom line are very crucial. Existing literature suggests that
work-life balance practices generally have a positive impact on individual and organizational
productivity as they increase employee productivity and performance as outlined below:

Organizations that provide broader packages of work-life balance practices scored higher on
measures of organizational and employee performance, as well as dimensions determined such
as the ability to capture the attention of important employees and the quality of management-
employee relations and product quality. will significantly strengthen. The more control
employees have over their lives, the more they have to balance work and family, increasing their
ability to perform well in both work and family situations (Bearegard, Alexandra, & Lesley C.
Henry, 2008). A successful combination of work and non-work aspects can be mutually
beneficial for both employees and employers. The ability to achieve satisfying experiences in all
areas of life enhances the quality of personal relationships and a range of organizational
outcomes.
The availability and use of work-life balance practices could reduce work-life conflicts and
increase positive evaluations of one's own organization (Rhoades and Eisenberger, 2002). These
effects are often linked to employee performance, such as increased quality and control over
their work schedule. The result is reduced absenteeism, a means to turnover, reduced levels of
work stress and work-life conflict, and increased productivity, organizational commitment and
loyalty. All these aspects are subsequently linked to cost savings, higher customer satisfaction
and implicitly higher levels of organizational performance. (Eisenberger and Aselage 2003)
Organizations should focus on improving employee performance to gain competitive advantage,
employees play an active role in improving and sustaining organizational performance. In this
context, Arulrajah and Opatha (2012) argued that the performance of an organization directly
depends on the individuals it employs, as employees of an organization are considered key
stakeholders in shaping organizational performance. Thus, organizations are increasingly
required to focus on improving employee performance to enhance organizational performance.

27
Many researchers have generally agreed on the important role of work-life balance in improving
employee performance (Naithani 2010), further stating that the work-life balance of an
individual employee in the collective view of the overall workforce of an organization leads to a
huge impact on the quality and quantitative organizational performance. Naithani (2010) also
stated that an organization that neglects employees' work-life balance issues will end up with
lower employee productivity and subsequently find it more difficult to improve employee
performance.
Work-life balance has become a more important issue because it tends to show positive
outcomes such as work engagement, organizational citizenship behavior, in-role performance,
increased employee productivity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment (Konrad &
Mangel 2000), which they become leaders. increase the work performance of the employee. As a
result, organizations should prioritize improving employees' work-life balance to enrich
employees' work performance.
There is a wide variety of work-life balance policies that include but are not limited to the
following: flexible working hours, job sharing, vacation (Hartel, 2007). Researchers at the
University of Cambridge (Dex and Smith, 2002) state that measures that can reduce employee
stress, such as vacations, options with a more flexible work schedule to accommodate work and
personal life.

3.5 Importance of Work Life Balance


In today's fast-paced business world, the ability to achieve work-life balance is increasingly
difficult. Employers expect more from employees and we put more and more pressure on
ourselves to achieve better results. But when did it become acceptable for our work day to
change from 9am to 5pm to 8am to 7pm? Many of us have allowed this to happen, either by
conforming to the workplace culture or by feeling obligated to put in more hours, but it shouldn't
be like that. Maintaining a work-life balance is not only important for your personal health and
relationships, but it can also improve the effectiveness of your work performance. If you need
more convincing – check out the following three reasons:
 We become less prone to burnout
 Attention is GIVEN WHERE IT IS NEEDED
 WE EXPERIENCE FEWER HEALTH PROBLEMS (LAURA HUTTON, 2016)
Advances in the way individuals access information, interact, and complete tasks account for the
flexibility of the work environment. However, they also reduced the sophistication between work
and family.
Lack of recreational or rest time can create a huge gap between expected performance and actual
performance.

28
The HR department will have to ensure that, under enormous work pressure, employees are
healthy and happy outside of work.
In addition, it offers flexible working hours, mandatory holidays and advice for overworked
employees to avoid pitfalls.
3.6 Impact on Employee Performance
Interference between work and non-work responsibilities has a number of negative consequences
that are well documented in the literature. Regarding work attitudes, employees reporting high
levels of work-life conflict tend to show lower levels of job satisfaction and organizational
commitment. Behavioral outcomes of both directions of conflict include reduced work effort,
reduced performance, and increased absenteeism and turnover (Greenhaus, Collins, Singh, &
Parasuraman, 1997). Work-life conflicts have also been associated with increased stress and
burnout cognitive difficulties, such as sustained alertness, lack of concentration and low
alertness, and reduced levels of overall health and energy. While most work-life balance research
focuses on employees' family responsibilities, there are also a number of studies that recognize
commitments to friends and community groups, extending the affected population to virtually all
employees (Tausig & Fenwick, 2001). The implications for organizations are clear: work-life
conflict can have negative effects on employee performance. (Mwangi Lucy Wambui, 2017)

Chapter Four: Experience

I completed my two months internship program at Prime Bank Limited, Laldighi East Branch. I
got an opportunity to work in another department of the branch. I was very lucky to be associated
with one of the reputed banks in Bangladesh.
During my internship program I was assigned under Ms. Sumi Das Gupta GB in-charge
(Laldighi East Branch). I worked in customer service with Ms. Taslima Zinnat. I learned many
new things about corporate life. Most importantly, I learned how to complete tasks sensitively
and on time. This hands-on experience is crucial to progress and prepare myself before entering
the corporate world.
4.1 INTERNSHIP POSITION, DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The report was prepared based on the experience gained during the internship. During this
period, I worked primarily with the General Banking, Accounting Department, Credit
Department. I also work briefly with the foreign exchange department. Prime Bank does not
follow any specific guidelines for student interns. They have huge pressures compared to other
industries. The branch treated me as one of their employees, not just an intern. So, I had to do a
lot of work.
4.1.1 Customer Service Department
In this department, I started learning how to open a bank account, how to fill out forms for
opening a customer bank account. My direct supervisor tried to give me a brief description of her
normal duties before assigning me to any activity. Later, through personal observation and
guidance from my supervisor, I learned about various types of accounts like Current Account
(C/A), Savings Account (SA), STD, FDR, DPS etc. She also helped me how to answer versatile
queries of clients regarding various account opening, how much interest they get from different
types of account, how to find the required check books from the package as per customer
requirements, how to take phone calls and transfer them to another employee, how to keep
patience and deal with busy customers.
The following activities which had done by me:
 Providing information to customers about what types of documents are required to open
an account. I told them that they need two copies of their PP size photos and 1 copy of
the candidate's PP size photo. They are also required to submit a photocopy of their
passport/NID card/TIN Certificate/ Birth certificate with attachment of Local
Commissioner/Member and a copy of their electricity or gas invoice.
 I used to update the customer account opening documents.
 I provided product information to customers and helped them choose the financing
package they wanted.

30
 Correction of an incomplete form that was detected by internal audits. For example, there
were some forms that were filled without specifying the account number, title, nature of
the organization in which the clients work. Some forms were kept without proper
address, VAT number, ID number. My job was to fill out these forms.
 Completion of the Know Your Customer (KYC) form for personal and corporate risk
assessment. My task was to determine the degree of risk and the riskiness of persons and
companies by considering the form of TP for the purposes of measuring the overall risk
assessment.
 Telephone calls to collect necessary photographs, photocopies of IDs or any other
requests.
 Distribution of required checkbooks by asking for their name, account number and
subsequent verification. I have sometimes called customers who have not picked up their
checkbooks after 2-3 months.
 I made check book entries in the register books and then kept them serially in a safe
place.
4.1.2 ACCOUNTS AND CLEARING DEPARTMENT
The accounting department is a sensitive part of the bank. This department is a very busy
department. Tasks of all departments, transaction vouchers of all departments are maintained in
this department. The tasks I performed in this department are listed below:
 They printed a statement of the previous day's transactions to check the debit and credit
vouchers.
 Sorting, counting and storing vouchers by checking the number of debited or credited
accounts, checking the signature of the account holder, account number, etc.
 Department of Debit and Credit Vouchers.
 They have to send lists of all expenses along with vouchers and supporting vouchers and
a forwarding letter stating the exact amount they spent for that branch amount to head
office. These expenses are transportation costs, pantry costs, other costs, entertainment
costs and business development costs. I completed the project in 2 months (November,
December).
 Stamping of various types of documents, such as loan documents, authorization and
confirmation seals.
4.1.3 Work Life Balance
At the beginning of my internship, I was provided with the basic training about how to deal with
customers with a good behavior and solve their problem. Also, I was assigned with certain jobs
which fulfill my of study of Human Resource Management. I am always very curious and
interest about the work life balance of corporate people. Besides that, I have also performed
certain tasks and research about office employee’s daily routine of their work life. By meeting
themselves, talk to them in break time, I gather information about their work life balance. My
working period was from November13, 2022 to January 13, 2023. As my job required day to day
basis research on work life balance on employee performance and prepare report on it.

Findings

 Job Training system are not technical in PBL


 There’s no child care center in bank, so the lady employees are very tensed about their
children and there is making a gap for their working performance.
 There’s no transportation facility in PBL, so that many employees getting late and facing
problem sometimes to reach home, it will demotivate them.
 Employees are dissatisfied with some of the management's actions. For example, an
employee is transferred from a credit department to another within a branch. The transfer
takes place within one to two days, which is a very short time for the loan officer to train
his replacement.
 Prime Bank Limited has no promotional strategies. This causes considerable ignorance of
the bank among the rural people. It may hinder its long-term strategies of reaching a large
number of customers.
 Internet Speed and the database of the PBL is very slow. It creates barriers to provide
faster service.

Recommendation:

 The PBL should introduce additional on-the-job training. It is a time of technological


advancement. But computer-to-internet communication is less commonly used but can be
a very useful source of information for employees to review their capabilities.

 PBL should arrange a childcare center, it will help lady employees for their work life
experience.

 By adding transportation facility will increase the motivation of work, and it will increase
the interest for work.

 The coach must be well-trained. As a recognized organization, the PBL should organize
their best training staff. The modern technology tool should be used as a training tool.

 The IT Lab of the HR Training & Development Center should be upgraded with the latest
technology equipment and reliable internet connection.

 Prime Bank HR-TDC should increase its staff to be able to support training effectively
systems and managers.

47
Conclusion

I am fortunate that I was given the opportunity to work in PBL. I think it is a great policy of
BGC Trust University Bangladesh to make the internship program compulsory for the
graduation. During this period, I worked primarily with the General Banking, Accounting
Department, Credit Department. I also work briefly with the foreign exchange department. As I
have worked two months in one of the local leading bank in Bangladesh, I was able to know
different banking work practices and impact of work life balance on employee performance in
the banks. I also get to know that the HR practices of PRIME BANK LTD signifies standard in
relevant field. The best thing is that for working practically. I have been able to have a profound
knowledge over the work life balance. Due to this high job satisfaction of the employee
regarding the compensation and great work life balance, the overall employee turnover is quite
negligible in PRIME BANK LTD. Finally, it is to mention that I was able to relate all work life
balance of employees with the real environment which is I think will be highly helpful for my
future career.
