“Study and Analysis of HR Practices at Habib Bank Limited”

Abstract

This research thesis deals with the study and analysis of Human Resource Practices in the IT Department of Habib Bank Limited, Corporate Branch in Islamabad. The study will show that the Human Resource Practices are being re-vamped in the organization, but without a clear direction, all changes are pointless. The study will concentrate on the importance of needs analysis and the futility of change without any orientation. The study will discuss the existing HR practices in the organization and then will discuss the shortcomings of that procedure. Later on, some new procedures will be suggested followed by a few recommendations. The conclusion will show that although the practices are new, Habib Bank culture is still reflective of the pre-modern bureaucratic culture that HBL had been operating under for decades. It will show that HR practices are looked upon as more of a hindrance than a support and finally, it will show that no change is going to be effective unless and until the upper management is involved and wants to encourage a more empowered and autonomous structure.
