On 11th January 2011, we visited MARUTI to meet Mr. S.K. Bhatia, The Assistant Manager of (HRD Dept) MARUTI, Gurgoan Branch. During the meeting with him we asked questions related to HR practices followed in the company. On interviewing him we asked a question related to the HR skills, HR planning, recruitment and selection, job description, interview process and types, training, orientation and induction process, performance appraisals, and assessment criteria. The questions with responses are as follows: What are the proficiencies (skills) should a HR manager have in the according to you?
The four proficiencies are
Understanding of Business Understanding skills required for Business HR competence- Subject Knowledge Manager should be people centric i.e.; he should be employee champion
Sources of recruitment:
The different sources of recruiting the candidate or selecting the candidate for the firm are:
Consultants i.e.; with the help of consultancy company Employee referral Databank i.e.; Company database Job portal response Through advertisement on the company website i.e.; direct application Campus recruitment

Interviews: There are basically three types of interview:
CBIT Critical Event Incident/Behavior/Critical Incident Technique: This is most important type of interview the company took before recruiting the candidate to check their behavior by giving them a challenging situation related to real life scenario. So that they check the problem solving ability of a candidate. CIT: The Critical Incident Technique (or CIT) is a set of procedures used for collecting direct observations of human behavior that have critical significance and meet methodically defined criteria. These observations are then kept track of as incidents, which are then used to solve practical problems and develop broad psychological principles. A critical incident can be described as one that makes a significant contribution—either positively or negatively—to an activity or phenomenon. CIT identifies possible sources of serious user-system or product difficulties. The recommendations for improvement try to eliminate the potential for the same situation to result in similar loss. However only actual use demonstrating that the product no longer induces the problem ensures that it is currently safe. Assessment Centre: There is assessment sheet the company follows to check the performance of their employee during the tenure they spend in the company. The assessment sheet is same for all the employee of all the departments in a firm.
Orientation and induction program Orientation: means procedure for providing full information about the company’s background to the new employee.
In MARUTI, the new candidates first go through the orientation program where the trainer makes the candidate familiar with the environment and culture of the company. Induction: means getting the new candidate acquainted with the job he/she has to perform in the organization. Induction program should include: a) Introduction to important staff (not just a quick hello but sufficient time to get acquainted and understand their job role) b) Tour of the building, pointing out fire exits, bathrooms, meeting rooms, boardrooms, useful offices such as IT support staff, administration staff etc. Don't forget to show them where to find office stationery and the position of photocopiers / faxes. c) Health and safety training as necessary dependent on job role; may include items such as manual handling and where to find the health and safety notice board. 5
d) How to complete day to day tasks and where to find the necessary folders / files. In MARUTI, the orientation process followed by an induction process. First the orientation took place at the different offices of MARUTI, and then the new employee is transfer to their respective departments where the induction process took place. In which the employee gets acquainted with the job he/she has to perform while he/she is working for the organization, with the working environment, people of all departments, health and safety training, laws and policies, assessment criteria, appraisal criteria. Training process
Training is the most important process for the organization. It depicts the hallmark of good management and the ability of a manager to give training to the new as well as current employee. Training means the process of teaching new employee the basic skills they need to perform their job. According to HR manager of MARUTI, The Company gives two type of training to their employee:
Technical Training Behavior Training
Technical Training: In MARUTI, this training comprises of the subject knowledge related to the job assigned to new candidate. In technical training the candidate is trained with advanced technology, new method to achieve their target with in a time period. Behavior Training: In this training the employees are given a situation under which they have to project their behavior; how efficiently they can work in a given situation. This training checks the how the new employee works in a team by assigning them to play different roles. The role may be of a team player, team leader, or understanding the function of business i.e. vision to achieve.
Performance Appraisal:
Meeting with the HR manager, we did not come out with the performance appraisal system but the person through whom we were able to contact the HR manager, is an employee in the organization in the administrative department provided us with the information that appraisal system in MARUTI is very slow so the rewards and recognition are delayed on the continuous basis which effect the working of organization.

Analysis OF HRM Practices for MARUTI
We got to know the HRM practices followed by company, where we went through a series of question with HR manager, from point of Job Description to recruitment to training and development of an employee in the organization. HR manager emphasized on the requirements that the HR manager should have in it to efficiently manage the organization with the certain proficiencies. But one aspect that MARUTI overlooked was that an employee of the organization should have right attitude towards the vision and objectives of the organization and also the employee of an organization are satisfied with their roles and position of responsibility in the organization. We find that the recruitment process of the organization is comparatively has a parity. Organization follow the same procedures from screening to selection. In MARUTI recruitment process begins from by preparing the MANPOWER budgeting by CEO, GM-HR and HOD of the company at the end of financial year. The concerned department manager request for the MANPOWER approval form from the GM-HR of the company. If this form approves then this form is transferred to the Recruitment manager where sourcing of CV’s is done. After that shortlisted candidate is call for the interview and screening process. There are three interview rounds took place Functional Interview Round, JAF, and last HR interview where selected candidate from two round negotiate on salary with HR manager.

Conclusion: Finding we made out analyzing Maruti, was that there was proper policies, processes and procedures that was a part of HRM practices mentioned by HR department and was implemented quite effectively in all the levels of hierarchy in organization. This proper and effective implementation of policies enabled the company to effectively manage all the priority functions of organization. The effective policies enabled the positioning of the right person for right job and aided the personnel of the company to bring it among the leading automotive industries of India, which holds the major chunk of Indian market.
