ROLE OF HR DEPARTMENT AT PC

Organization needs people and people need organizations.

Since PC Hotels are a part of the service industry, the HR element of the organization is fundamental and carries a great value. We interviewed Aqeel Ahmed who is the HR Executive at PC Lahore regarding the role of HR department in PC. He provided us with his valuable time to brief some important aspects of PCs HR practices.

Human resource plays a vital role in the smooth running of an organization. The total numbers of employees working for PEARL CONTINENTAL HOTEL Lahore is more than 1500. A large number of these employees are working in Food & Beverage Department and House Keeping Department.

Although PEARL CONTINENTAL HOTEL segregates its employees and their duties in departments, the individual employees work together as a team to provide the guests with exclusive services. They view their guests as their first priority and provide them with an everlasting experience. They struggle hard to maintain the nations most exciting hotel experience. Collectively they provide the guests with such services that the client rediscovers the simple pleasures of life.

9. FUNCTIONS OF HR DEPARTMENT AT PC

Like all other HR Departments PCs HR Department is responsible for managing all the activities related to Human resource.

PC has the following Human Resource Management functions Personnel planning Recruitment Selection Interview Orientation Training Performance appraisal Benefits & Compensations Health & safety

PEARL-CONTINENTAL HOTELS HR ROLE IN EXECUTING STRATEGY Pearl-continental hotels functional strategies support its competitive strategies. To play a role in executing strategies PC must require highly committed employees which are the part of the PC culture. This means PC, begins its HR processes to create a committed, competent, and customer-oriented workforce. Hotels HR department supports strategy implementation in many ways. When HR played a strategic role it becomes a good culture of PC.

HRS ROLE AS A STRATEGIC PARTNER: PEARL CONTINENTAL HOTEL can also play a vital role in making strategies with other departments as well. They make their own forecasting plans. Our view is that pear8

continental hotels HR is strictly operational and that HR activities are not strategic but it can help organization in making strategies.

HR can also adapt the strategies made by the organization for them. Mostly the top managements craft the strategies of the organization. The strategies made for the HR dept. are then programmed to execute that strategy. For Pearl-Continental Hotels strategies there is a matching human resource strategy. Here, HRs role is not just to adapt its activities neither to the PCs business strategy, nor, certainly, just to carry out operational day-to-day tasks like paying employees.

21. WEAKNESSES: PC as a developing & growing organization makes advancements according to the requirements of the environment. Focusing on the HR department, although PC has maintained strong culture throughout the organization yet weve observed that PC

22

nevertheless needs some improvements which will aid it in availing the opportunities and be more competitive.

Few of the weaknesses of PEARL CONTINENTAL HOTEL are as under; Immediate promotion depends on situation to situation. For instance recently H R director of PC is required and no one is there to promote from junior rank so they have to out sourced the vacancy. PCs HR department not has their specified questions while conducting the interview. The main top managers of the HR and the concerning department take the unstructured interview in which no question is asked on a specific predetermined questionnaire format. They ask on-time questions from the interviewer.

CHALLENGES FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT In order to manage people effectively in todays world of cut throat competition, it is vital to understand and appreciate the significant competitive, legal and social issues. The human resource department of PEARL CONTINENTAL HOTEL has to cope with internal as well as external challenges to ensure the achievement of its mission. Some of the internal and external challenges faced by the human resource department are presented below:

Relationship between the Workforce and Management

Managing a Dynamic Environment Conflict Management Managing Workforce Diversity

23

Lack of Trained Workforce Global Competitive Environment Economic Challenge Loyalty of Employees

22. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS THINGS WHICH AN EMPLOYEE SHOULD AVOID: Smoke, eat, drink, chew gum, whistle, hum or sing in the lobby or any public areas. Stand in groups and casual conversation with co-workers. Shout or talk in the public areas. Allowing of personal friends to visit employees at the hotel. Spit in any area. Say anything negative about the hotel. Entering in other departments, public areas, or guest floors.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS: PC should send its managers/employees to abroad for training purpose for it will ultimately improve the organizations overall performance. Internees should be paid for their services. More flexible benefits plans should be introduced for employee so they can choose which suit them the best. As PC doesnt have any special program to bring the outside talent in, so they need to take this area under consideration. More incentive programs should be introduced to maintain employee motivation. 24
