Organizational structure of The ACME Laboratories Ltd.

Observation:
Through my internship period at The ACME Laboratories Ltd, I have observed some issues which are:

  • Limited workforce: Recruitment and talent management department of HR division performs their responsibilities with a limited workforce. Sometimes, it makes so stressful working environment for existence employees.
  • Recruitment and selection process done continuously: In The ACME Laboratories Ltd, recruitment and selection is a continuous process. Almost every week, HR division has done recruitment and selection task and these tasks have done chronologically.
  • Lots of paper work: Recruitment and talent management department of The ACME Laboratories Ltd has used lots of paper work. From requisition form to publishing final result, Paper is used in every aspect. As a result, they waste many papers and do not recycle this paper most of the times.
  • Proper use of internal sources of recruitment: Recruitment and talent management department maintains good eyes on its internal sources. When there is any recruitment process, HR division posted recruitment advertisement on every notice of every branch. They also publish this advertisement on their intranet. So, staff from this organization can see the advertisement. HR division also maintains contact with other divisions’
    employees so that they can recommend other people to apply here. But they do not post any advertisement in their official website.
  • Using HRIS and internal server: Recruitment and talent management department only uses HRIS software to input final result. Other soft copies of recruitment and selection process are kept in their internal server.
  • Totally new environment for internee: The ACME Laboratories Ltd has no training for internee. They put internee directly on process. As a result, there are many mistakes at starting moment.
  • Recruitment process and academic learned: I think The ACME Laboratories Ltd’s recruitment process is ideal process. It is matched what I have leaned in the book. More or less, they are same So, I did not find any mismatch between them.

Finding and Analysis:

During my internship program at The ACME Laboratories Ltd, I have come across different practices of recruitment and selection which lead me to analyze.

SWOT analysis

Strengths:
• The ACME Laboratories Ltd has been serving the country since 1954. So it has gathered huge experience in the pharmaceutical market which is now acting as strength for the company.
• More than three billion tablet manufacturing tablet manufacturing facility per year considering single shift.
• It designed the facility to meeting the requirements of ISO and WHO cGMP.
• Environment controlled and monitored by integrated building management system through zoning concept in all manufacturing areas.
• In recruitment and selection process, they involve concern division’s manager like CV screening, preparing questions, checking written scripts etc.
• In their management, they follow participative management style.
• It has independent microbiology department to perform microbiology tests.
• The organization has adopted ISO 9001 certificate.
• In HR Division, the data is contained through HRIS.
• It has environment friendly solid and liquid waste disposal system. 45 Weaknesses
• The chain of command ACME is elongated. If there is a situation to take immediate decision and deputy directors are not available, that’s time they face problem. The decision will be hanging up until deputy directors are available.
• Online base advertisement is proper cannot get right candidate.
• Their sales centers are not enough to cover whole country.
• It cannot hold its medical representative and sales and promotional representatives for the long time. For this problem, it recruits heavy amount of MR and SPR. It makes huge cost.

Opportunities:
• People are getting consciousness about healthy and cure life. If they feel sick, they take medicine. So user of medicine is increasing.
• Existing demand in the neighboring country’s pharmaceutical market is really big opportunity for it.
• More and more hospitals and clinics are being established. So the opportunity is getting high for The ACME Laboratories Ltd.
• Globalization allows ACME to enter global market by diversifying its business by utilizing the company image

Threats
• Aggressive promotional actions and movement by the rivals can affect The ACME laboratories LTD’s market.
• Exchange rate fluctuation can be reason of increasing price high.
• Likely entry of potent new competitors due to attractive industry profitability.
• Modern technology are coming to obsolete the existing technology. This will cause huge capital loss for the production process.
• The unstable political condition is a big threat for The ACME Laboratories Ltd. Hartal or blockage may result in the delay of distribution of products. It also hampers the regular official work.
• The ACME laboratories LTD cannot promote its products through TV and Radio46

Major findings of the study:
In my internship at The ACME Laboratories Ltd, I have observed and found different issues.
These are:

1. Managing Director is the sole authority approve finally for any business or functional decision. Only after receiving approval from the Managing Director, HR Division starts all their functioning as per method.
2. Modern Human resource management always talks to involve line manager in HR Practices. The ACME Laborites Ltd engages both HR manager and line managers in their recruitment and selection process.
3. The ACME Laborites Ltd has no online requisition process. For example, sales manager of Savar sales centre raises a requisition form. He must send this requisition form through their internal mail service. If there is any strike or hartal, this day internal mail service will not work. As a result, recruitment process is going to delay.
4. HR division The ACME Laborites Ltd does not maintain CV banks properly. Often they lost resumes. They keep failed and passed resumes in same spaces.
5. In their Recruitment and Talent management, there are only two employees. Only two employees have done all the recruitment and selection process. So when work pressure is really high, number of these employees is not enough.
6. HR Division of The ACME Laboratories Ltd does not contact with those candidates who failed in their recruitment and selection process.
7. They do not publish recruitment advertisement on own website.
8. HR division does not arrange physical examination for final applicants.
9. The company always tries to maintain good working environment, health & safety procedure which is certified internationally.

Differences between Recruitment and Selection process of “SPR and MR” and others:
The basic processes of recruitment and selection of “SPR and MR” and others are same. Within these processes, there are some differences. These differences are:

difference

Recommendation And Conclusion

Suggestion for improvement:
After completing internship program, I have come up with some recommendation which The ACME Laboratories Ltd for their improvement. These are:

1. HR Division should introduce online requisition system. As a result, HR division will get requisition form immediately and it will make faster its process.

2. HR Division already exercises their internal network properly for recruitment advertisement. Now they can post recruitment advertisement on their website. So, interested applicants can get information to visit their website.

3. HR Division needs enough space to maintain CV bank. It will employees to find resumes easily.

4. In written, viva or practical exam, there should not be any unfairness. Otherwise The ACME Laboratories will lose appropriate candidates.

5. HR division should also communicate with failed candidates. At least, they can send an email on applicants’ account.

6. HR division can also minimize using paper on its recruitment and selection process.

7. There is no training for the new internee in The ACME Laboratories Ltd. But if they provide any training program for internees then it will be easier for them to adjust new environment.

8. The recruitment and selection process’ activities of MR and SPR could be done separate days. So it will release extra pressure from employees and they can find more appropriate employees.

9. HR division should be also more focus on management assessment centers in its selection process. It will help them to judge applicants according to perform realistic job.

10. The ACME Laboratories Ltd should start training its managers on better interviewing 50
