CHAPTER NUMBER 1:

INTRODUCTION

8


9/41

SACHET is an organization, visionary of welfare and development and on a mission to serve

humanity by promoting human development in Pakistan. The organizations name reveals its

interest areas. its working in four areas of development; namely Health, Education, Training and

Poverty with immaculate approach, deep conviction and extensive community participation and

are looking forward to a sustainable development process to take roots from SACHET`s plat

form.

Gender is a part and parcel of SACHETs policy and programs. Its aim is not to approach

women to forget their role in society, but to equip them to deal with the present day situation

more effectively. We talk about gender balance, sensitization, mainstreaming and harmony.

Playing off one gender against the other is against SACHET`s working principles. It addresses

the basic unit of our society-the family. For this it addresses both men and women.

SACHET meaning mini pack is a promise, which is feasible and can reasonably be expected to

be kept.

SACHET`s mandated objectives are as follows:

To promoter gender awareness and sensitivity in Pakistan

To narrow gender gaps in health, education and economic participation

To promote economic empowerment of the underprivileged

To promote awareness and sensitivity about sexual and reproductive health rights,

information, education and services

The over all personnel policy of SACHET is based on the belief that qualified, dedicated

employees, working in harmony with their co-workers will provide the organization with the

support they need in meeting the defined objectives. The organization in turn wishes to provide

certain benefits to the employees, as are mentioned in the next few pages.

ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

9


10/41

SACHET is the brainchild of Dr.A.Q.Khan. Dr.Rakhshinda Perveen they named it and

developed its mission statement and strategic vision. Many like-minded friends helped in

developing the charter.

SACHET seeks to provide social development, primarily in low-income localities, by funding

programs in health, education, poverty alleviation, human resource and rural development.

Grantees and beneficiaries are selected without regard to race, religion and political persuasion.

SACHET is registered in Islamabad under the voluntary social welfare agencies, registration and

control ordinance, 1961, since May 1999 and has its Head Office in Islamabad.

HISTORY:

SACHET emerged on the continuously expanding horizon of Pakistani CSOs,

at the time when themes and resolutions adopted at CEDAW, ICPD &+5 and Beijing's Platform

for Action were gaining new watchfulness in South Asia and occupying central position in CSO

activities. Launching another CSO with the slogan "For Pakistanis and By Pakistanis "and vision

of human development of the disadvantaged with a gender perspective was not only challenging

but also risky. The work, gender in a patriarchal society is perceived as an imported agenda item.

Sachets entry in this area not only raised suspicions among orthodox patriotic circles, but some

self-appointed custodians of society also felt threatened. SACHETs journey has been and is

following a rocky pathway. However, in spite of limited resources, it continues to possess

limitless determination to move ahead at a steady pace.

SACHET seeks to provide social development, primarily in low-income localities, by investing

in health, education, poverty alleviation, income generation skills, human resource and rural

development. Grantees and beneficiaries are selected without regard to race, religion and

political persuasion.

SACHET is registered in Islamabad under the voluntary social welfare agencies, registration and

control ordinance, 1961.

12/41

Dare to Sensitize, Train and Inform -DOSTI is an advocacy project, and the goal is to

promote awareness and sensitivity about sexually transmitted diseases including

HIV/AIDS. SACHET strategy to impart knowledge about HIV/AIDS involves the use of

print media, electronic media and interpersonal skills. We organize awareness sessions,

workshops and seminars in Rawalpindi and Islamabad districts. For urban population, we

organize special sessions in schools and colleges and provide information through

interactive sessions. For rural audience of our service delivery areas of Shahdrah,

Banigala, Pinyali, Gagri and Pathergarh, we educate and train peer educators among the

villagers, besides arranging Mehfils or assemblies in our community development

centers. The exclusive feature of Mehfils is that the information about HIV/AIDS is

transmitted in commonly understood concepts of rural dialects.

SACHET Clinics:

SACHETs Health program started in Oct 1999 with the establishment of first health care

facility in Shahdrah, a valley of rural Islamabad. The objective of this initiative was to

provide free quality primary & reproductive health care to the disadvantaged

communities facing barriers like financial, geographical or social inaccessibility to such

services. The objective continued with the establishment of Panyali, Banigala, Gagri &

Pathergarh clinics in the network of SACHET free clinics.

Mehfils:

'Behnaan di Mehfil' and 'Bharavan di Mehfil' (assemblies of sisters and brothers

respectively). These gatherings, are arranged by SACHET at the community level to

sensitize the men & women (both young & old, married and unmarried) on different

gender issues like Importance of education, girl education, poverty ,economic

empowerment,& health (nutrition, immunization and preventable diseases, family

planning, Hepatitis, HIV/AID, further more It also provide a forum to the community

members to see their problems with their eyes and identify indigenous and realistic

solutions.Mehfils also bridge the gap between perceived and actual needs of the

community.

Khazeena:

12


13/41

Khazeena (means treasure in Urdu) is the Education Program

SACHET initiated the establishment of Computer Training Centers in rural communities

(Shahdrah, Banigala and Pinyali) with the aim to equip the students with IT skills while

offering least cost solution to unemployed youth through Learn to Earn Project.

Currently, it has one operational Computer Training Centers; at SCDP Pinyali. The

reason behind establishing the computer center was to provide an easy access of

computer education to the disadvantaged students of this area as there was no computer

training center in the surrounding areas of Pinyali. This center also encouraged girls to

learn IT skills.

The beneficiaries of the project can be as many as can be easily adjusted within their

limited budget. The scholarships granted encourage the beneficiaries to develop their

hidden potentials and to help the Government efforts to enhance the literacy rates by

giving either full or partial tuition fees to the deserving candidates. Thus, these candidates

are thus at no disadvantage as compared to students who can afford to pay the expenses

from their own resources.

Priority is given to orphans and girls.

Khazeena Library:

SACHET encourages and Supports research on the development issues. In the year 2002,

SACHET established a documentation center with an aim to provide comprehensive

research facility with an offline and online (Internet) presence, to knowledge seekers on

the issues of socio-economic importance, serving as a capacity building resource for

SACHET's own staff besides collecting, sorting and making available the research work

done in the development sector in Pakistan.

PACIG (Poverty Alleviation cum Income Generation):

For the poor and powerless everything is a problem. Poverty, the perceived root cause of every

problem in the society, has no doubts worse affects on human life.

Poverty not only destroys human beings physically but also morally. A poor cant live with

dignity, it eats its moral, social and culture values etc

1.3 - ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:

The organization pursues common objectives and policies set by SACHET Board of Directors

(BoD) and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). Dr.A.Q.Khan is the founder President.

Dr.Rakhshinda Perveen was the founder Executive Director. Now the post has been abolished

and she is the Honorary Executive Vice President. There is also an Executive Committee, which

comprises the President, Executive Vice President, Secretary General and the Treasurer. The

BoD is supposed to meet on quarterly basis but in case that does not seem possible the Executive

Committee is authorized to meet and take decisions on issues that deem urgent attention. Due to

the diversity of our honorary technical advisors both in terms of their geographical location and

professional portfolios it is not possible to call all of them in a joint meeting on regular basis.

SACHET therefore interacts with each one of them on individual basis through different means

of communications.

The formal membership drive to include people from all walks of life has not yet commenced but

Sachets have 100 founding members. Moreover, they have completed the formulation of rules

and regulations of Volunteers Net work, which would be soon initiated.

SACHET head office, located at Islamabad has three units, namely Program, Finance and

Administration, thus forming the implementing machinery for executing the planned strategies.

AGEHI (Advocates of Gender, Education &Health Information) Resource center, Islamabad,

was established in Sep`00 and serves as a technical wing for the Program unit in particular andSACHET in general.

18

area of Districts Rawalpindi ,Islamabad,Chakwal , Northren Areas, Attock and their

outskirts, but for the purpose of Poverty alleviation and advocacy SACHET's intervention are

CHAPTER NUMBER 2:

INTERNSHIP PLAN

I did internship of 6weeks from 15th Nov to 30th Dec 2010 in a NGO Named SACHET

Organization .it is located in Islamabad. It is the Head office of SACHET located in the building

of Al- Babar Centre, Park Road F-8 Markaz Islamabad.

approximately 54 employees including all departments.

How to handle organization, master planning, financial reviews etc.

Structure of the HR Department

Hierarchy of HR Department:

I did my MBA in Human Resource Management so it was necessary to do the internship

in the Human Resource department. Due to this reason I decided to select the Human Resource

department of SACHET. In this organization each department is governed by director or head of

the department, so Human Resource director or coordinator is the head of the H R department.

And the Human Resource coordinator is Miss. Ayesha Javaid she has to report directly to the

CED (Chief Executive Director) Brig (R) Sajawal Khan, she is managing the Human Resource

department. Mr Saqib Mehmood is assisting her. So in Hr Department there are two employees

one is head of the Hr department and 2nd one is assisting her.

In HR department there are two employees, the Personnel management of any organization is

very important so keeping in view this fact Sachet has personnel department in his head office

Personnel Department of Sachet can be critically analyzed on the basis of various steps of human

resources management process.

CHAPTER NUMBER 3:

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE

I have been working in Sachet Pakistan as an internee for 6 weeks. The reason for

choosing this organization for internship experience was that it is one of the biggest

organizations in our city. Although other companies and banks also offer the facility of

internship for MBA students but I decided to work in Sachet for its reputation and its friendly

environment. Although an internee is not a permanent employee of the company but can get a lot

of knowledge and skills in this very short period and so I got.

I took it as opportunity for me and my career and tried to acquire as many skills as I

could. The management and other staff of my department have been very cooperative and guided

me throughout my internship period. They treated me like the employee of the company and took

my full time to work in the company for me to get used to of working in an organization. It was

for the first time in my life when I felt that there are some practical and reasonable assignments

in front of me and I tried to accomplish each and every task with full of my responsibilities and

capabilities

.

3.1 - WORKING EXPERIENCE (DUTIES/ RESPONSIBILITIES) IN HR DEPARTMENT:

During the internship in Sachet some duties and responsibilities were assigned to

me and I have to complete these tasks with my full attention and responsibilities. Here I am

giving some little bit detail of these duties and responsibilities:

Manage the general filing system; storage and security of documents (file all correspondence)

My primary duty was to assist HR coordinator.

Help MR Saqib Masood (hr assistant) to manage the general filing system; storage and

security of documents (file all correspondence).

Perform general clerical duties to include photocopying, faxing, mailing, and filing etc.

22


23/41

It was also assigned to me to maintain employee records and handed over her the

required files etc.

Some times they gave me an assignment to prepare a step by step process of hiring or

recruiting the desired person for a particular job.

They assigned me a task that how we can identify that the person who is willing to do job

in Sachet for a particular post what skills are required and how we can judge his/her

abilities either he/she would able to perform well enough the assigned tasks etc so from

her kind guidance I get to know how I can select the right person for the particular job.

In Hr department I also came to know about the latest HR strategies and asked me how

and when we would apply these strategies as she demonstrated earlier.

During my internship period, I used to sit beside my boss and get to know the whole

process of recruiting live I observe all the process and that would be extremely beneficial

for me in the future.

2.2- LEARNINGS/ ACHIEVEMENTS:

The main purpose of internship is to get a practical experience in the organization

and to get some practical knowledge. Usually the period of internship is short but we can learn a

lot from this period. This was first time in my life when I was doing some reasonable and

practical tasks. A lot of learning and achievements I have gotten from the HR staff like:

First thing I learnt from this short period of job is punctuality. I learnt from this how to be

in time in the company.

The second thing is dressing, professional dressing matters a lot. By seeing my seniors

and colleagues I start to copy them in dressing.

It was a big achievement for me, that I learn how to do the work in team and group of

people. Working in the team should be learnt. Communication with the employees and get their minds is very difficult task, but in the

company I used to learnt how to communicate with the employees and how to resolve

their issues.

How to sit in professional people, how to look, how to talk and how to work is also

learning for me.

23


24/41

I learnt from the organization that how to accomplish the tasks and the assignments

which were assigned to me.

It was first time in my life to work whole day in the company with full responsibility, to

go in time and to off in time.

negative evaluation came as a surprise.

2. Set 5-8 objectives, which are realistic. Both employees and the employer have to

believe that the objectives can be achieved. If an employee has doubt hear/ him

out. Together you may find a way around a problem.

3. Define standards of performance. They must state specifically what must be

accomplished. Performance standard must be time bound.

4. Where a serious problem has occurred like a rule infarction, write up incident as

soon after as possible. Have the employee sign the written record.

5. Consider Decoupling compensation issues from Performance Evaluation. Doing

so removes a distracting element.

6. When ever you can set standards that apply to all employees in category e.g.

punctuality.

7. Doing a good appraisal demands thought concentration but really pays of in

approved performance and fewer management headaches.

8. During appraisal interviews you as a supervisor should not speak for more then 20

% of the time. The remainder is for the employee.

9. Documenting a workers performance is important at all times to support an

evaluation. Keep and update personal logs regularly.

10. The employee is unlikely to accept your evaluation unless you can refer to

specific incidents and cite what happened, when it happened and the

consequences of the event.

CHAPTER NUMBER 5:

Critical Analysis of the SACHET:

In chapter number four of my final project of internship I have done the analysis

of SACHET.

Perk / Allowances:

There is a gap between the allowances and their implementation. Sachet just

mentioned some of its allowances in their HR policy which yet not implemented.

Recruitment and selection:

Recruitment and selection of the staff based on reference. So there are no equal

employment opportunities.

Utilization of funds:

Utilization of the funds keeps hidden from donors. so that they would never know

where their resources have been utilized.

Lack of Management Skills :

New staff in Top management (R) Brig Sjawal Khan as he has no any social work

experience so it is decreasing the efficiency of Sachet as a whole. And Lack of

required skills which ultimately decrease the efficiency of the work.

Requirement Analysis

Job analysis also provides the basis for developing job specifications. Job specifications

are a statement of the human qualifications required to perform the job. Among the

qualifications which are often included in job specifications are the following.

34


35/41

Educational standards which may spell out, for example, degrees attained, such as a B.S.

in engineering.

Experience requirements, such as two years of general clerical experience for the

position. This job requires directing the work of from two to ten clerical employees, and

therefore would normally require some prior experience in actually performing clerical

duties.

Skills requirements, such as typing 50 words per minute, or being able to take dictation

by an executive etc.

Requirement analysis has performed thoroughly at SACHET for the purpose of job

analysis by HR department.

5.1. Weak points of the HRM Department:

Planning

At SACHET I think very small importance is given to personnel as far as planning is

concerned. Upper level management like CEO and Director give low attention to this

department. Personal Department does not search for and does not know whether there is

need of new employee at same job or not. They only know who is going out and there is a

vacancy at the place of out going employee. I have examples for such employees who are

doing work of two or three men. There should be better planning for that in order to

achieve organizational goal. If the goal is to minimize the expenses it is not proper way to

control and is not legally and ethical acceptable.

Recruitment

At SACHET recruitment is done internally as well as externally. Recruiting is to attract

qualified people to apply for positions with an organization. Sachet do not advertise their

job in newspaper but let the people be informed by existing employees and place add on

the web etc.

Most of new employees are hired on reference basis. There are various authorities to hire

the people for various positions.

35


36/41

Training & Development

At SACHET every new employee trains himself at his own because training is not done

or given properly by the organization. Existing Employee trained new employee by his

own self. SACHET does appoint trainee employees who are trained by the existingemployees and these trainees are sometime hired for actual jobs. These hired trainees are

beneficial for SACHET because they are already trained and understand their jobs. If

there is new employee hired who was not trainee at SACHET suffers because of that

SACHET do not have proper training program.

Compensation Plans

There is a huge gap between the compensation policy and its implementations. many

allowances just mentioned in the policies and but there is no implementation practically

like TADA , Health Insurance and many other.

Evaluation

SACHET performance of the employees is evaluated on the basis of what has been

expected from them. The upper level management evaluates performance. Upper level

management sees how an employee is performing on his assigned position. It is done

through observing and comparing the productivity of the organization with the expected

productivity. The results of evaluation are used in movement of employee inside the

organization or outside the organization.

This is all about the short-falls or gap between the theories and practices in SACHET

despite the fact that department and personnel management is not very good at SACHET

but it has great productivity capacity.

CHAPTER NUMBER 6:

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and

threats. This is the analysis related to the strengths which SACHET proudly have,

weakness of SACHET, opportunities which SACHET can avail to prevent from the

threats faced to the company and the weaknesses of the company. The reason to do this

analysis is to find out that, what are the strengths of the company which can overcome

the weaknesses of the company and to determine the opportunities which can company

avail to prevent the threats to the company. I will individually examine the strengths,weaknesses, opportunities and the threats faced by SACHET here.

Strengths:

As we know that donation depends on the good will of the organization and

SACHET is fortunately strong in its internal check n balance system , strong

management policies , pretty good handling of financial management system and

other control systems working up to the mark so donors attracted of all this and

its a strength of SACHET.

Separate departments of every activity like Finance, HR, administration etc this

type of organizational hierarchies improves the efficiency of the organization

because employees can fully equipped with the required skills of that particular

activity.

Weaknesses:

Regarding to the hiring process, its a weak point of SACHET that in every

department employees are not enough according to the stress of work. So workers

have extra burden which ultimately reduce their efficiency.

Medical allowances and health insurance which are mentioned in the polices but

in practically theres no implementations. Employees yet deprive from these

37


38/41

allowances, its also a negative internal point of SACHET which reduce the Trust

of employees upon the organization.

Mostly polices are mentioned just in polices and procedures of SACHET but not

practically available like Medical allowances , Over Time , TADA , Health

Insurance Etc.

Opportunities:

If the SACHET team would attend the workshops which are arranged by other

organizations then it would be an opportunity for the SACHET to attract donors

but it would be just possible if the team would be highly skilled and trained to

catch the attention of donors.

If SACHET teams maintain its Clinics properly and efficiently then its a

possibility that Ministry of Zakat would increase the Lump sum as donation for

the clinics which would be utilize further for buying medicines and medical

instruments etc.

SACHET is working on non established areas, Rural, Urban Banigala , Panyali ,

Pathergarh , Chakwal etc SACHET s projects not restricted to Islamabad it has

various projects out of the town but its competitors like SAHIL organization has

limited setup so its an opportunity and a competitive edged for SACHET.

Threats:

Competitors have strong system of information technology which keep a head

from Sachet in their targets.

Competitors like Aurat Foundation, Rozan Foundation, they respond to change

quickly as compared to Sachet.

Lack of interaction /links globally, while others have big sponsors /donors inside

and outside country.

CHAPTER NUMBER 7:

CONCLUSION

In conclusion I must say that organizations exist when two or more people work

together towards achieving common goals. An organization can never be better than the

people it hires. Hence we have to get the best to be the best because the performance of

the employees reflects the companys image and standing in the market.

As every organization has three common sources like Man, Money & Machine,

probably the human dimension is of the utmost importance. Hiring employees is not the

sole objective rather the primary goal is to devise a tool that can help the organization

attract, maintain, retain and motivate them enough to give their best to the organization.

Training and development is therefore the first step towards success. Better the quality of

the employees better the performance of the company.

An organizations ability to meet the training and development challenges

provides an opportunity to make significant contribution to the company. With better

quality people executing the companys operations the HR department can create a

competitive advantage for the company. Here in the end I want to sum up my report of

internship in SACHET in few words. Again I would like to say thanks to SACHET and it

all employees for providing such supportive environment of learning. I must say that my

6 weeks internship experience in SACHET was a great learning time and I believe that it

will be very helpful for me in future career.

During my internship in SACHET I had chance to practically use my knowledge and

skills which I have gained during my study as well as I gained and experienced different

new skills on the job. It also helped to learn about the Non Government sector working in

Pakistan, its services for the betterment of the society as a whole.

39


40/41

Here in the report I have tried my best to give very informative and useful details

regarding my internship in SACHET and I believe that by reading this one would agree

with me that gaining practical experience of what we learn in books is as important and

useful as any other thing. I was fortunate enough to secure a position as an internee here

and thereby able to do an in depth analysis of the working environment of this NGO from

the inside and of the external environment

7.1 - RECOMMENDATIONS

I have realized that SACHET is performing very well since its beginning. It is quite

difficult to give suggestion to improve the working conditions of SACHET. As we know

that nothing is perfect, there is always a room for improvement, so I have found during

my internship can be made up taking into account the following suggestions.

To maintain the good will of the organization SACHET should first satisfy its

employees because unless the workers of that particular organization would not

be satisfied they would not be able to work devotedly and sincerely. So to get

efficiency from the employees SACHET should give all the allowances and

grants which are mentioned in their HR policies.

To maintain the records and proper check and balance SACHET should improve

its information technology, have to maintain proper software for this particular

purpose.

SACHET should reduce the burden of employees by hiring more staff because

almost in every department there is too much of work stress but workers are not

sufficient according to the requirement of the work.

SACHET should establish good relations with the political parties because its a

plus point for SACHET if SACHET would set up good relations with political

parties then ultimately they would be beneficial for the organization especially in

maintaining and gaining funds etc.

SACHET should trained its clinical staff to meet high efficiency rate because its

a chance for SACHET that it would get double lump sum as a reward from the

40


41/41

Ministry of Zakat .so for this SACHET should hire skilled Medical Staff and keep

them trained according to the requirements.

As SACHET hire new Executive Director Mr Sajawal Khan who has no any

experience about NGO sector , and the efficiency of the team of SACHET

suffering just lack of management skills . SACHET yet not get any new project

since the replacement of its ex Director DR Rakhshanda Parveen .So I would

recommend SACHET should notice this point and should take appropriate action

regarding this.
