MISUSE

Recommendation

As Robi Axiata Limited is a well-established company, therefore, it is very tough to recommend on any aspect of the company. However, I have come up with few recommendations, after conducting the research. They are as follows:

  • Robi Axiata Limited can provide holiday allowance to all the employees rather than General Manager. So that all employees will become more motivated
  • Robi could work more on making Burial & Funeral they provide to employee’s family. If Robi increase this facility then employees will become more secured.
  • Some employees suggested that Robi could increase Long Service Award to encourage the employees to continue their service with the Company for long to contribute more with their experience to achieve company goal.
  • Employees suggested to increase the Contributory Provident Fund (CPF).
  • Some employees suggested that Robi could decrease the time period 5 years for Gratuity as benefit.
  • Some employees think, Wedding Loan is needed which is not provided now but before this benefit is provided.

 Personal Observation:

Robi Axiata Limited is a great place to work in which I can say from my personal experience of 3 months period internship. However, to sustain their existing good performers Robi could offer a bit more facilities like the above mentioned points. So that it will bring the level of employee satisfaction in an impressive level. Robi needs to be more organized at some stage in providing benefits because from my personal experience both I and employees face problem while providing Insurance card because there have no ID no and picture also. So, It was really hard to find. So, they have to more concern about this and need to be more organized for giving benefits. Robi does not maintain same ratio or percentage while providing benefits for all stages employees while giving allowance. So, I think it will be more motivated when they follow same percentage based on salary. However, Robi should provide more facilities to the temporary employees because temporary employees are the part of the organization.

Conclusion

People & Corporate Division (HR) of Robi is working all the time to sustain and satisfy its employees. According to my own experience the working environment of the organization is very inspiring. However, the organization needs to be clarified about the demands of the employees especially of the seniors to satisfy them. Robi is always keen to implement new rules and actions for improvement.

For fresher, the process of Employee Involvement Programs may improve individual motivation and morale. Involvement programs may also help to capture the creativity, energy and ideas many people have. They also allow departments and individuals to work cross functionally and create an environment of learning and constant renewal. Exchanging ideas always improves communication and the knowledge that top management is open and willing to act on the ideas improves trust.

Recognition is a very lucrative part to motivate an employee and it can be achieved by employees having the reward given at a gathering of employees and by recognizing the award in corporate communications, such as the corporate newsletter or internet site.

According to the result of the research and my practical observation the employees seem quite satisfied and fulfilled working in the organization. Still it is very difficult to work towards perfection. Therefore the organization is all the time moving towards making the work environment the ‘employee choice’. The outcome of the research can be coinciding with the practical situation of the organization. Hopefully the standards and effects of employee satisfaction will be even successively better in the near future.
