AKNOWLEDGEMENT
Successful accomplishment of any task is possible only with the cooperation of the people at
various levels. It is impossible to thank each of them individually but a sincere effort is being
made here to thank some of them.
I would like to express my gratitude and sincere thanks to Mr. G.V.R.K. Raju, HR Manager,
Regional Office (South region) for giving me opportunity to work and be a part of Hindustan
Coca-Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd.
In particular I would like to thank my company guide Mrs. Chandana Tyagi for giving me
opportunity to work on different projects like ‘PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM’
and ‘EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SCHEMES’. These projects would not have been possible
without her pushing efforts. I have no words to thank her for timely advice, personal efforts and
keen interest in the projects.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my faculty guide Prof. Dipti Sharma for
providing a helping hand and also for guiding me as a mentor and giving necessary assistance.

these projects on time successfully.
All of the projects are a result of cumulative efforts of five people working not only as a team but
as a single unit. I hereby thank Rahul, Garima, Anshula and Kanchan for all their hard work,
support and help.
I also received tremendous help & support from Mr. Sannu Francis and Ms. Roopa Kandi (HR
executives) throughout the projects. They were always willing to explain the nitty gritty of things
& motivated me to do a better job each day. Without their cooperation, the projects would not
have taken the desired shape in such a less amount of time.

Coca-Cola (also known as Coke) is a type of carbonated soft drink sold in stores, restaurants
and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company
and is one of the world’s most recognizable and widely sold commercial brands.
Coca-Cola, the corporate nourishing the global community with the worlds largest selling soft
drink concentrates since 1886, returned to India in 1993 after a gap of 16 years giving a new
thumbs up to the Indian Soft Drink Market. In the same year, the Company took over ownership
of the nation's top soft-drink brands and bottling network.
During the course of this summer internship program I have worked on two projects for the
organization namely PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM & EMPLOYEE
ENGAGEMENT SCHEME. These projects were completed in the human resource department
of Coca-Cola Moula Ali, Hyderabad under the able guidance of my company guide Mrs.
Chandana Tyagi and faculty guide Mr. Dipti Sharma.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AUDIT:
Performance management system of coca cola has recently gone for an overhaul. The main aim
of the project is reviewing the new PMS system and it’s effectiveness.
The process entailed studying the existing PMS system in the organization, auditing and
analyzing the appraisal files, comparing it with PMS systems followed at other similar
organizations and giving recommendations & suggestions for improving the process further as
well as finding out it’s shortcomings and weaknesses if any.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SCHEMES:

The buzzword of the moment for HR is "engagement". Engaged employees are committed to
their work, putting in enthusiasm and discretionary effort for the organization’s success. This
project involves studying and analyzing the already in place employee engagement and fun at
work activities at Coca-Cola (south region) and also giving pragmatic suggestions for the same.
This entails interactions with the various cadres of associates in order to determine the need for
every level, understanding the policies and culture of the organization, studying the already
existing activities for employee engagement and then giving suggestions and recommendations
with proper feasibility study for the suggestions given.

ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
The product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May
8, 1886. Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for Coca-Cola. Coca-
Cola was initially sold as a patent medicine for five cents a glass at soda fountains. Coca-Cola
was sold in bottles for the first time on March 12, 1894, and cans of Coke first appeared in 1955.
Coca-Cola (also known as Coke) is a carbonated soft drink is produced by The Coca-Cola
Company (NYSE: KO). Coke is one of the world's most recognizable and widely sold
commercial brands.1
Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century, Coca-
Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to
its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the 20th century. Although faced with
critiques of its health effects and various allegations of wrongdoing by the company, Coca-Cola
has remained a popular soft drink to the present day.
The company actually produces concentrate for Coca-Cola, which is then sold to various Coca-
Cola bottlers throughout the world. The bottlers, who hold territorially-exclusive contracts with
the company, produce finished product in cans and bottles from the concentrate in combination
with filtered water and sweeteners. The bottlers then sell, distribute and merchandise Coca-Cola
in cans and bottles to retail stores and various other outlets.
The Coca-Cola Company has, on occasion, introduced other cola drinks under the Coke brand
name. The most famous of these is Diet Coke, which has become a major diet cola but others
exist, including Caffeine free Coke, Cherry Coke, Coke Zero, Vanilla Coke and limited editions
with lemon and with lime, and even with coffee. The Coca-Cola Company owns and markets
other soft drinks that do not carry the Coca-Cola branding, such as Sprite, Fanta, and others. 2

COCA COLA INDIA – A BRIEF
INTRODUCTION
Coca-Cola, the corporate nourishing the global community with the worlds largest selling soft
drink concentrates since 1886, returned to India in 1993 after a gap of 16 years giving a new
thumbs up to the Indian Soft Drink Market. In the same year, the Company took over ownership
of the nation's top soft-drink brands and bottling network. It’s brands have now assumed an
iconic status in the minds of the consumers.
Ever Since, Coca-Cola India has made significant investments to build and continually
consolidate its business in the country, including new production facilities, waste water treatment
plants, distribution systems and marketing channels.
Coca-Cola India is among the country’s top international investors, having invested more than
US$ 1 billion in India within a decade of its presence and further pledged another US$ 100
million in 2003 for its operations.
With virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola being made
in India, the business system of the Company directly employs approximately 6,000 people, and
indirectly creates employment for more than 125,000 people in related industries through our
vast procurement, supply and distribution system.
The vast Indian operations comprise 25 wholly-owned- company-owned bottling operations and
another 24 franchisee-owned bottling operations. That apart, a network of 21 contract-packers
also manufactures a range of products for the Company.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The history of performance appraisal is quite brief. Its roots in the early 20 th century can be
traced to Taylor’s pioneering Time and Motion studies. But this is not very helpful, for the same
may be said about almost everything in the field of modern human resources management.
In the 1950s in the United States, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool for motivation and
development was gradually recognized. The general model of performance appraisal, as it is
known today, began from that time. 4

MORDERN APPRAISAL SYSTEM:
Managing employee performance is an integral part of the work that all managers and rating
officials perform throughout the year. It is as important as managing financial resources and
program outcomes because employee performance or the lack thereof, has a profound effect on
both the financial and program components of any organization. 5
Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction between a subordinate
and supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic interview (annual or semi-annual), in
which the work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed, with a view to
identifying weaknesses and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills
development.
In many organizations appraisal results are used, either directly or indirectly, to help determine
reward outcomes. That is, the appraisal results are used to identify the better performing
employees who should get the majority of available merit pay increases, bonuses, and
promotions.
By the same token, appraisal results are used to identify the poorer performers who may require
some form of counseling, or in extreme cases, demotion, dismissal or decreases in pay. Whether
this is an appropriate use of performance appraisal - the assignment and justification of rewards
and penalties - is a very uncertain and contentious matter. Performance appraisals are a regular
review of employee performance within organizations.
Generally, the aims of a scheme are:
Give feedback to employees to improve subsequent performance.
Identify employee training needs.
Document criteria used to allocate organizational rewards.
Form a basis for personnel decisions-salary (merit) increases, disciplinary actions, etc.
Provide the opportunity for organizational diagnosis and development.
Facilitate communication between employee and administrator.

Validate selection techniques and human resource policies to meet legal Equal
Employment Opportunity requirements.
A common approach to assessing performance is to use a numerical or scalar rating system
whereby managers are asked to score an individual against a number of objectives/attributes.
PROCESS OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT:
The performance management is the systematic process of:
• planning work and setting expectations
• continually monitoring performance
• developing the capacity to perform
• periodically rating performance in a summary fashion; and
• rewarding good performance
STEP 1: PLANNING:
In an effective organization, work is planned in advance. This includes setting performance
expectations and goals for individuals in order to channel efforts toward achieving organizational
objectives. Involving employees in the planning process is essential to their understanding of the
goals of the organization, what needs to be done, why it needs to be done, and expectations for
accomplishing goals.
STEP 2: MONITORING
Effective and timely feedback during the performance appraisal period addressing employee
performance on elements and standards is an essential component of a successful performance
management program.
Employees need to know in a timely manner how well they are performing. They need to be told
what they are doing well and if there are areas needing improvement.
Feedback can come from many different sources: observation by managers and rating officials,
measurement systems, feedback from peers, and input from customers, just to name a few. It will
be up to rating officials to determine how best to gather the information, and from which sources,
to ensure an effective rating of the employees under their supervision.
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
22
Part of the monitoring process includes conducting at least one formal progress review during
each appraisal period at approximately mid-way through the rating cycle.
STEP 3: DEVELOPING EMPLOYEES
The process of performance management provides an excellent opportunity to identify
developmental needs. During planning and monitoring of work, deficiencies in performance
become evident and can be addressed. Areas for improving good performance also stand out, and
action can be taken to help successful employees improve even further.
Developing employees is more than just training employees. Developing employees covers all
efforts to foster learning, which happens on the job every day. When organizations focus on
developing their employees' capacity to perform rather than just training them, employees will be
able to adapt to a variety of situations, which is vital for the survival, well-being, and goal
achievement of individuals as well as organizations.
STEP 4: RATING
Within the context of formal performance appraisal requirements, rating means evaluating
employee performance against the elements and standards in an employee's performance
appraisal plan and assigning a rating of record.
STEP 5: ACTION BASED ON PERFORMANCE
A basic principle of effective management is that all behavior is controlled by its consequences.
Those consequences can and should be both formal and informal and both positive and negative.
Positive consequences include rewards and recognition, promotions, within-grade-increases, etc.
Negative consequences may include counseling, reassigning, removing, or downgrading the
employee. 6
BENEFITS OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
23
1. PM focuses on results, rather than behaviors and activities. A common misconception
among supervisors is that behaviors and activities are the same as results. Thus, an employee
may appear extremely busy, but not be contributing at all toward the goals of the organization.
An example is the employee who manually reviews completion of every form and procedure,
rather than supporting automation of the review. The supervisor may conclude the employee is
very committed to the organization and works very hard, thus, deserving a very high
performance rating.
2. Aligns organizational activities and processes to the goals of the organization. PM
identifies organizational goals, results needed to achieve those goals, measures of effectiveness
or efficiency (outcomes) toward the goals, and means (drivers) to achieve the goals. This chain
of measurements is examined to ensure alignment with overall results of the organization.
3. Cultivates a system-wide, long-term view of the organization. An effective performance
improvement process must follow a systems-based approach while looking at outcomes and
drivers. Otherwise, the effort produces a flawed picture. For example, laying off people will
likely produce short-term profits. However, the organization may eventually experience reduced
productivity, resulting in long-term profit loss.
4. Produces meaningful measurements. These measurements have a wide variety of useful
applications. They are useful in benchmarking, or setting standards for comparison with best
practices in other organizations. They provide consistent basis for comparison during internal
change efforts. They indicate results during improvement efforts, such as employee training,
management development, quality programs, etc. They help ensure equitable and fair treatment
to employees based on performance. 7
AND ALSO:
1. Helps you think about what results you really want. You're forced to be accountable, to "put a stake in the ground".
2. Depersonalizes issues. Supervisor's focus on behaviors and results, rather than personalities.
7 www.pms/benfits.htm
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
24
3. Validates expectations. In today's age of high expectations when organizations are striving to transform themselves and society, having measurable results can verify whether grand visions are realistic or not.
4. Helps ensure equitable treatment of employees because appraisals are based on results.
5. Optimizes operations in the organization because goals and results are more closely aligned.
6. Cultivates a change in perspective from activities to results.
7. Performance reviews are focused on contributions to the organizational goals, e.g., forms include the question "What organizational goal were contributed to and how?"
8. Supports ongoing communication, feedback and dialogue about organizational goals. Also supports communication between employee and supervisor.
9. Performance is seen as an ongoing process, rather than a one-time, shapshot event.
10. Provokes focus on the needs of customers, whether internal or external.
11. Cultivates a systems perspective that is, focus on the relationships and exchanges between subsystems, e.g., departments, processes, teams and employees. Accordingly, personnel focus on patterns and themes in the organization, rather than specific events.
12. Continuing focus and analysis on results helps to correct several myths, e.g., "learning means results", "job satisfaction produces productivity", etc.
14. Provides specificity for comparisons, direction and planning.
CONCERNS OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT:
Typical concerns expressed about performance management are that it seems extraordinarily
difficult and often unreliable to measure phenomena as complex as performance. People point
out that today's organizations are rapidly changing, thus results and measures quickly become
obsolete. They add that translating human desires and interactions to measurements is
impersonal and even heavy handed. 8

There are many other significant factors, which deter or impede objective evaluation. These
factors are as follows:
HALO EFFECT: One factor’s excellent score affects the score or the other factor.
HORN EFFECT: Unsatisfactory rating on one factor on one factor affects the score on other factor.
STRICT RATING: Being over conservative and strict in rating.
CENTRAL TENDENCY: Most of the factors are given average rating.
LENIENT RATING: Being relatively more easy and lenient in a rating.
INITIAL IMPRESSION: Rating is influenced by the initial impression of the rate on the rater.
SPILL OVER AFFECT: Using past rating unjustly to rate current performance.
STATUS AFFECT: Rating affected by the status of the rate.
SAME AS ME: Rating highly as the rater and rate share common qualities and attitudes.
DIFFERENT FROM ME: Rating lowly as the rater and rate have different and conflicting qualities and attitudes.
CONTRAST EFFECT: Rating a person in comparison to others already rated.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECTUnderstanding and analyzing the existing performance appraisal system for Grade 8 & above
associates across the southern region and making strategic suggestion for improvement where
ever required in the PMS system.
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED1) Studying the existing Performance Appraisal system in the organization.
2) Preparation of the Checklist.
3) Verifying/Comparing the performance appraisal form with respect to the Checklist
4) Analysis so as to determine whether the new system is effective & efficient.
5) Making Recommendations and suggestions and converting these ideas into trainings.
PROCESS USED Analyzing and studying existing performance management system: In this we studied
the already existing in place performance management system at coke. This entailed
interacting with the HR managers and understanding the PMS system
Studying the performance appraisal form and preparing a checklist: In this step we
studied the already existing performance appraisal forms for various units and prepared a
checklist on the parameters on which we would audit the appraisal forms.
Auditing the performance appraisal forms according to the checklist: In this step we
checked the forms on the basis of checklist prepared and noted down the discrepancies if
AKAN
SHA

any from the procedure. Also we analyzed what each detail in the form meant and
signified how it worked etc.
Summary of analysis: In this last step we summarized the analysis and observations of
the performance management system of coke. We made a comprehensive summary of
our observations and suggestions. Formulation of report was done and various tools like
graphical method, pie charts etc were used to extract meaningful information from the
analysis.
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
AT HINDUSTAN COCA COLA BEVERAGES
PVT LTD.
Hindustan coca cola beverages Pvt ltd has recently gone for a change in it’s PMS system.
Rationale for going for change was as follows:
Ratings in the PMS followed & the business achievements do not match.
In the year 2005 the business was not doing well.
Linkage of Key Result Areas to the business result was not clear.
Bench mark rating and performance standard was not been identified clearly.
Duplication of development plan of individuals.
Online process not accessible to up country managers.
NEW PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AT COKE:
SALIENT POINTS
Objective setting: objectives for evaluation are set in consultation between the employee and the supervisor.
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
28
Communication of objective: the mutually agreed and set objectives and targets are communicated to the employees.
Alignment between associates & mangers: there is communication and alignment between associates and manger.
Mid year feedback & discussion (no ratings): in the middle of the year feed back and discussion are held. No ratings are awarded in these mid year reviews.
Final performance appraisal at the end of year: a final appraisal is done at the end of the year annually. This involves filling up the performance appraisal forms and having a discussion with the employees. Here the final ratings are given to subordinates after evaluating their performance on mutually set objectives.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL FORM:
The performance appraisal form of Coke contains three sections namely three key result areas
(KRAs) as follows:
SECTION 1: Personal Information
Name Location DesignationReporting Manager Appraisal period
SECTION 2: Key Result Areas
KRA 1: Business Plan Achievement
Objective Weight Target By when Actual Result Achievement Points Rating
KRA 2: People Development

SECTION 4: Supporting Documents
Overall rating and supporting documents are given in the end to substantiate the results in the
appraisal form. The appraisal form follows a five scale rating which is awarded according to the
points scored on various parameters.
The details of the performance appraisal form and system can not be disclosed in the
report as it is confidential.
ANALYSIS & OBSERVATIONSDetailed analysis of coke’s PMS system was done using various statistical and graphical
methods. The details of which are not disclosed in this report as they are confidential for
the organization.
However a brief overview of the pros and cons of the PMS system of coke is as follows.
THE PROS:
Transparent system.
Discussion with the supervisors: PMS system allows the employees and their accessors to
discuss things together and come to a mutual point and also to sort out any discrepancies
if any. Helps in improving communication between the manager and subordinate.
Allows the employee to highlight and bring into notice his achievements and progress.
The form is divided in 3 KRA’s which give an over all and comprehensive evaluations.
Targets are set after mutual discussions.
Reduces subjectivity and improves objectivity in the process.
Does an annual evaluation.
Only mid year feed back or review is done.
Standard, simple and straight forward procedure.
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
30
Supporting documents are required to substantiate the achievements.
Relative performances are taken into consideration as the final touch to the process.
Confidentiality is maintained
THE CONS:
1. Manual process and hence prone to errors.
2. Does not completely protect from biasing and prejudices.
3. Proper communication is required.
SUGGESTIONS
Steps should be taken to help employees understand the appraisal system. Spend a certain
amount of time with employees and discuss the importance of PA, what they should
expect from it, how they can make it more effective.
The present system is time consuming and though it is simpler from the previously
followed system, it still is slightly complex to understand. Hence efforts should be made
to simplify the process further especially the appraisal form.
While creating the development plan, training, cross functional exposure and short term
assignments should be encouraged. This will not only help in achievement of
organizational goals but also in career growth of the employee.
Interaction between employees and supervisors is a very important step in the system.
There are few cases where both the parties have not met and discussed the performance
of the subordinate. Hence it should be made mandatory for both employee as well as
supervisor to meet and discuss issues. An attendance sheet could be maintained which
could be signed by both parties specifying the date and time of such meeting. This step
would help in keeping track as well as facilitating the meetings.
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
31
The feedback given should be specific, relevant and timely. Delay in the process might
result in a negative attitude towards the present system.
It should be made compulsory for managers to fill in complete details. As observed in the
forms many number of times the fields of targets, time to achieve targets, etc were not
filled. Mostly half filled fields were submitted. Hence it is difficult to understand how or
on what basis the ratings or points are awarded. Manager’s comments were missing in
some cases and this reduces the transparency of the system. To combat this problem one
person can be assigned the work to check each form whether it is filled properly and
completely when it is being submitted. This person will act as a single window and only
through him/her the forms would be collected.
Maximum number of times the supporting documents were missing. This does not allow
verifying the claims made. The above suggestion of one point contact person can be
made applicable for this too.
Everyone should be thoroughly explained the process and the requirements for the form.
They should clearly know how to fill it. Some sessions can be taken for each department
to explain the form clearly to managers. Also it can be done that one person can be
appointed as information person who can explain and clear any doubt which may arise to
any manager.
It should preferably be typed so that the comments and all are legible and only signatures
should be done in ink.
Ratings were awarded wrongly in few cases. It may be confusing for someone who is
filling the forms to convert into percentage. For eg. % achievement in KRA#1 i.e
Business Achievement Plan, so the values are to be converted to percentage. Also in a
single KRA a manager has to give rating many numbers of times before giving overall
rating for that KRA. This confuses and tires a person sometimes and the result is half
AKAN
SHA
SRIV
ASTA
VA
32
filled or incorrectly filled forms. This process is repeated for each KRA and overall
ratings are at the end. Probably it would be a good idea to reduce so many ratings. Only
one rating for one KRA should be done to simplify the process.
The detailed observations and analysis for the PMS system can not be disclosed in the
report as it is confidential data for the organization.

WHAT IS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT?Employee engagement has been the fastest growing form of community involvement during the
1990’s in many parts of the world.
Companies are increasingly aware of the role that they can play in supporting employees, in
becoming more aware of and taking action to respond to the social, economic and environmental
problems in communities. And the benefits back to the company for employee engagement are
tangible in many ways. Employees learn new skills, demonstrate leadership and feel good about
the company, themselves and what they can contribute to the community. The company
improves its public image through its employees acting as company ambassadors, giving the
company a human face.

A fully engaged employee is intellectually and emotionally bound with the organization, gives
100 percent, feels passionately about its goals and is committed to live by its values. This
employee goes beyond the basic job responsibility to delight the customers and drive the
business forward. Moreover, in times of diminishing loyalty, employee engagement is a
powerful retention strategy. The truth of the matter is that employee engagement does have a
strong tangible impact on the bottom-line.
Employee engagement occurs when staff doesn’t merely turn up, but go that extra mile. Engaged
employees are committed to their work, putting in enthusiasm and discretionary effort for the
organization’s success. Worldwide, six-out-of-ten (59%) of highly-engaged employees said they
planned to stay with their employer, compared with 24% of disengaged staff. Another advantage
of engagement is that workers start to believe in the corporate brand. 9
There are two complementary approaches to developing an employee engagement program. The
first is a supportive approach where the company’s main efforts are to encourage employees’
existing engagement in the community, usually outside of work time. Companies who want to
initiate employee engagement and identify activities and issues that align with their values and
developmental needs use an alternative, strategic approach. The two approaches can, of course,
work together to form a holistic program of employee engagement.
Effective employee engagement:
1. Addresses community needs.
Companies can play an important role in helping to solve community problems.
Employee engagement programs provide an effective way to engage in dialogue with
community stakeholders; jointly identify needs and solutions and bring together the
community needs, the company goals and employee desires to participate.
2. Reflects employee interests and skills.

Employee engagement programs can make a real difference to how employees feel about
themselves and their employer. They provide a way to create new forms of dialogue with
employees.
3. Meets business priorities.
Programs that are aligned with business objectives can bring tangible benefits to the
company and are seen by employees and external stakeholders as relevant and
meaningful.
4. Training and Development.
Employee engagement can complement training and development programs with the
added dimension of a real life situation that traditional training courses cannot provide. In
an unfamiliar situation, employees can be stimulated into creative thinking and problem
solving, end encouraged into real learning.
5. Transfer of core competencies of the business through the time and resources of
employees into local communities.
6. Employer of choice.
There is increasing evidence that people do make the link between companies that are
actively involved in the community and those that are good to work for. More and more
potential recruits are choosing employers who behave responsibly.
7. Values, culture, morale and motivation.
Employees take great pride and satisfaction in what they achieve through their employee
engagement in communities. When employee engagement is developed as a company-
wide program it helps to build a cohesive workforce, underpinning company values and
culture.
8. Corporate reputation.

Employee engagement as part of a wider social investment program can build a
company’s image in its local communities. Employee engagement is seen as a tangible
way of demonstrating a company’s social responsibility, strengthening its reputation in
the local and wider community. 10
Having fun at work can help morale, reduces stress, improves staff retention, means less
sick days and increase team building and spirits.

Brief Description
Night Out Camping involves going to an out door location like some natural park, grounds, or any open sky areas. Put up tents and bonfire, play some songs, play games, cook food there itself and enjoy the night out with the nature. Employees are required to bring along their families and children. A bus or transport should be arranged for travel and one could explore the natural surroundings around the city.
Book a ground for one day and conduct an coke cup cricket tournament. Drinks, snacks and food for both audience and players will be provided on ground itself. Selections are made by conducting matches within employees of one unit and then the best winning team can compete with teams of other units in south or whole India. Winning team would take home the trophy and the gifts.
Visit an SOS village with the families and kids. Spend the days with children there. Take along some gifts etc to give to underprivileged children there. Play with them, teach them or I n general interact with them.

Apart from these suggestions of activities we came up with easy to implement ideas to brighten
up the office lives of employees and to keep them energetic and boosted up for the entire day.
We compiled a comprehensive list of games, places to visit, important contact numbers and
addresses required, easy to implement ideas for work place. Amongst all the suggestions and
recommendations made by us the management chose four ideas to implement. We elaborately
designed these ideas. Following are the four ideas which are to be implemented in the
organization in the near coming future.
We also concentrated on easy to implement ideas and activities in day to day routine lives of the
employees. Since employees spend most of their day in the office, their life can become
monotonous and tiring. The office is not a fun place anymore. This hampers creativity,
productivity and motivation of an employee. It is also not possible for organization to plan big
activities for their work force much often as it requires time, energy, money and other resources.
Hence we concentrated on easily implemented ideas which require less effort and time to be
implemented and make big differences. The list for these ideas is attached with the report in the

MD’S ASSESMENT CENTER
DESCRIPTION:
We also helped HCCBPL in the ongoing project ‘MD’S Assessment Center’. Market Developers
are not on the pay rolls of the company. However to motivate market developers and to develop
their careers the organization has launched this assessment center wherein even a market
developer has chance to get promoted and become a part of HCCBPL. They can also come on
the pay rolls of the company. This is an excellent opportunity for them.
We helped the management in the recruitment process for these MD’s. This project provided us
with the opportunity to understand the recruitment and selection procedure of the MD’s.
