EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Thus the best services offered to the consumers are result of the genius brains working behind
them. Human Resource in this regard has become an important function in any organization with
any respective sphere.
All practices of marketing and finances can be easily emulated but the capability, the skills and
talent of a person cannot be emulated.
The whole process of entering into the organization from recruitment to induction to
performance appraisal and then to Exit is explained in detail in the report.
The whole process is explained with the reference to Sharda Hospital of what I have learned in
the time period of two months of my internship.
Exit interviews are the departures which gives an organization a learning experience. If taken
seriously into consideration Exit interviews can prove to be very fruitful in decreasing the
attrition rate also towards the improvement of the organization by taking their feedback.
6
As my organization works on betterment of people’s lives as it’s a Hospital, which is fourthly
divided into five categories-
*SMSR- School of Medical Sciences and Research
*SNSR- School of Nursing Sciences and Research
*SAHS- School of Allied Health Science
*Sharda Hospital
As all are divided as these all work cohesively by their nature of work.
As far as recruitment is concerned basically joining is being done either for ACAD or NON
ACAD .
For an instance – A junior resident is being joined will be considered as Non ACAD and if a
Nursing tutor has been assigned will be known as ACAD staff.
OBJECTIVE
The project “Study of Separation Process at Sharda Hospital.”, on which I worked and I learnt
the various objectives on the separation process of the hospital and how it facilitates curbing the
attrition rate. For which the following objectives are to be fulfilled:

Human Resource plays a crucial role in the development process of the modern Economics.
ARTHUR LEWIS observed:
13
“There are great differences in development between countries which seem to have roughly
equal resources, so it is necessary to enquir into the difference in human behaviors”
Human Resources is a term used to describe the individuals who make up the workforce of an
organization. Human resources is also the name of the function within an organization charged
with the overall responsibility for implementing strategies and policies relating to the
management of individuals (i.e. the human resources). This function title often abbreviated to the
initials “HR”. Human Resources is a relatively modern management term, coined as late as the
1960s.
Early human resource management, in general, followed a social welfare approach. It aimed at
helping immigrants in the process of adjusting to their jobs and to an "American" life. The main
aim behind these programs was to assist immigrants in learning English and acquiring housing
and medical care. Also, these techniques used to promote supervisory training to ensure an
increase in productivity
by the end of the 1970s, HRM had taken over the world! Almost all big and medium scale
industries had a department to manage their recruitment, employee relations, record-keeping,
salaries and wages, etc. Towards the 1980s, the importance of HR continued to intumesce for
several reasons like increase in skilled labor, training, regulation compliance, dismissal, etc. The
HR managers were the ones who did the hiring and the firing.
In today's date, HR has the same importance as the other departments, in some corporate, it has
more. With the constant increase in education, technology and frequent fluctuations in economic
status and structures, I believe, HR is the oldest, most mature and yet, the most efficient of all
management styles.
14
EXIT PROCESS
Relation between employer and employee is also one such relation. Gone are the days when
people use to stick to one job for rest of their life. The trust is lost and the faith is lost as well
from both sides. If an employer is having a policy of hire and fire, employees are also free to
change their jobs whenever they want. We are only reaping the fruits from the trees sown by us.
The Separation Process: A four-phase process is recommended to complete proper closure for
employees:
Objective -
To standardize the separation process and facilitate smooth separation for the employee/s.
Scope-
The policy is applicable to all employees who are on the regular rolls of the Hospital.
15
Type of Separations
Resignation:
Voluntary: Where the employee intent to resign from the duties and responsibilities, assigned to
her/him and same is accepted by the reporting manager.
Absconding: Employees not reporting to office at assigned time for two consecutive days,
without prior approval of the supervisor/ reporting manager. It will also be taken under the
category of Voluntary Resignation.
Procedure:
The reporting manager shall inform the separation to the HR Representative on the same day as
the employee resigns mentioning the probable last day of work.
Reporting manager and HR representative would make efforts to retain the employee in the
retention timeline of 7 days. If the employee is retained, the reporting manager would need to
inform the HR Representative.
If an employee resigns after maternity leave benefit, notice period shall be taken into account
unless considered waived off.
16
Serving notice period of 30 days or salary in lieu is a mandatory requirement for all case of
voluntary resignation.
All resignation should be accepted by the appropriate authority, a copy of which is to be attached
with the No Dues Clearance Form (Specimen copy attached as Annexure I) for processing. Duly
filled No Dues Clearance Form along with approved resignation and Separation Interview Form
(Specimen copy enclosed as Annexure II) to be sent to concerned HR SPOC for processing.
Absconding
The reporting manager contacts the employee in question. In case of genuine need, the employee
need to present evidence supporting the cause of not reporting to office. The employee should be
given max 2 working days from the present time to report to office. In absence of any such
support the leave to be considered as LWP.
The information is to be shared with the HR Representative the same day. The HR
Representative will try and reach the employee and shall also raise absconding letter to the
employee, asking the whereabouts. If the employee does not report/ or is not contactable by the
5th day, the final letter declaring the employee as absconding shall be raised.
The employee should be given the information that absence on the appointed date and time of
reporting back would result in ‘Attrition as Absconding’ for her/ him.
Last day of attendance as shown in the attendance system shall be treated as the last working
day.
If the supervisor/ reporting manager is satisfied with the reason given by the employee and with
the supporting documents, leave/s are to be applied and approved by the reporting manager on
the Leave Management System (LMS).
In case the employee does not report back, the last working date shall be treated as the last date
of approved leave applied on the LMS, except in case of LWP, where the last day will be the
17
date on which the employee was physically present.
Termination
Guidelines:
The no dues must be processed within 45 days from the last working day of the employee.
Post this, the organization shall not be liable to process the dues, if any.
The separation interview should be conducted as soon as the Last Working Day (LWD) is
confirmed. All separation interviews will be recorded on the Separation Interview form.
If it is felt that the decision of an employee to leave is not in his /hospital 's best interest, the
hospital shall try its best to counsel him/her to change his/her decision.
The organization shall try and interview employees (sample of 20% of the employees left
in the last three months) after three months of their leaving the organization.
The completed No Dues Clearance Form received by 8th of the month will be processed for
payment of dues to Pay Roll department and the dues will be paid by 25th.
18
Policy Deviation
Any deviation from the above-mentioned policy would need approval of the Vertical Head.
Exit Interview:
Exit interviews serves as the last attempt to change the employees’ mind and to retain him/her.
Exit interviews are conducted by paper and pencil forms, telephone interviews, in-person
meetings or online through exit interview management systems. Some companies opt to employ
a third party to conduct the interviews and provide feedback.
The Exit Interview is used to obtain information that will result in better selection, placement,
and development and training practices, as well as improved supervision, which, in turn, can help
reduce attrition, enhance working conditions, detect and correct problems on the job that may
lead to termination.
While attrition is a natural process for organizations, replacing employees is expensive. The cost
goes beyond merely placing an advertisement for the opening in a newspaper. It includes training
a new employee, staff time for selecting a new employee, lost productivity while the position is
open and lost productivity until the new employee gets up to speed. Understanding why people
voluntarily leave the hospital can provide an opportunity for the firm to make changes to reduce
turnover rates -- and reduce the associated costs.
The exit interview serves a number of important functions. When trends in voluntary separations
are tracked, the firm may be provided a valuable heads up concerning discrimination problems. It
can be anything like job misfit, higher pay, working conditions, discrimination between profiles,
19
etc. By exploring these issues through exit interviews, the hospital can learn about the issue and
take corrective action.
Valuable feedback concerning training and development can be obtained during the exit
interview. If employees feel they are not properly trained to perform the responsibilities of their
jobs, they may leave.
If employees feel that the assignments are not matching to their core competences which compel
them to perform poorly. Or some may leave when they perceive there is a lack of opportunities
for future positions. Using the exit interview effectively can also provide the hospital with
valuable feedback concerning benefits and compensation. This can be both negative and positive.
It is equally important to know what employees’ value and what they would like to see changed.
The organization can provide a more competitive compensation and benefits package if they
utilize this feedback.
The public relations aspect of the exit interview is equally important. The interview is an
opportunity for the employer to end the employee's time with the hospital on a positive note. A
new relationship with the departing employee may be created. As the employee departs with
positive feelings about the organization, this will be communicated to remaining employees,
local community / technical fraternity and future employees. The end result may even be ease of
recruiting future applicants.
20
Benefits of Exit Interviews:
Follow-up:
The entire exercise will be futile if the answers of the quitting employees are just
filed.
Validate findings with matching responses from within.
Existing staff gets to know about an Exit Interview.
Effects should be visible to existing staff.
When initiatives to improve are not visible, future Exit Interviews would have
little to learn from & treated as one more formality after one hands in papers.
Reasons for leaving the organization may differ for different people leaving the organization e.g.
it may be personal reasons like health problems, better salary, career opportunities, working
conditions etc.
21
Many companies say they conduct exit interviews because it is the right thing to do. . When done
correctly, exit interviews can provide data, collected over time that will point out trends
indicating potential weaknesses or strengths in an organization. But it's important not to make
generalizations out of statistically insignificant information.
One person's dissatisfaction with salary does not necessarily require an overhaul of the hospital
's compensation program. It's best to look at information over the long term, he says.
Used correctly, exit interviews can provide good feedback. But a first step for many
organizations exit interview process and making that process a requirement.
Using the exit interview as a way to get feedback seems ideal, but convincing employees to open
up is often difficult. Employees who are leaving may be concerned about getting a good
reference and not burning bridges; as a result, many will be cautious about criticizing a manager
or supervisor. Interviewers must also keep in mind that employees really may have nothing to
gain from an exit interview.
Interviewers usually want to determine the real reasons voluntary separations are leaving. This
provides an opportunity to make changes - particularly when the separation may also be
impacting other people. For example, management is often cited as a common reason people
leave the organization. It is good for the firm to know the reasons so they can take corrective
action.
To mine the exit interview for the gold that is available, the interviewer must move beyond
the basic information. It is critical to get beyond the "politically correct" reason that the
majority of employees provide when leaving a position.
The critical portion of the interview should probe the employee for feedback about the working
conditions and how they might be improved. Many employees, however, are reluctant to provide
this information. This reluctance often stems from the concern over negatively influencing future
job references.
22
Then the interviewer might explore the timing of the departure. That is, reasons why the
employee chose to leave at this time may be important. This will determine if conditions changed
or things just came to a head. The interviewer should be exploring common threads across all
employees leaving the hospital of special concern are the new hires that leave the hospital after a
relatively short period of time. This information can signal hiring problems - if employees are
mismatched with their skills or if realistic job previews are not used. If an inaccurate picture is
painted of the job, employee expectations will not be met and turnover often results.
If the hospital is willing to rehire the employee, this should be explicitly stated at the conclusion
of the interview. Sometimes the grass is not really, greener on the other side of the fence and
employees regret leaving their jobs. The door should always be left open for those employees
who would be welcome to return to the organization. In some cases, the interviewer might even
explore options for part-time or temporary work rather than lose a good employee altogether.
23
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Every project work is based on certain methodology, which is a way to systematically solve the
problem or attain its objectives. It is a very important guideline and lead to completion of any
project work through observation, data collection and data analysis.
Data Collection
Primary Data
Primary data was collected from the organization and by taking the Exit Interviews of the
employees leaving the organization.
Secondary Data
Data was collected from books, magazines, websites, going through the records of the
organization, etc.
24
It is the data which has been collected by individual or someone else for purpose of other than
those of our particular research study. Or in other words we can say that secondary data is the
data used previously for the analysis and the results are undertaken for the next process.
LIMITATIONS
Many times people do not tell the actual reason of leaving the organization, so the HR
has to consider the reason somewhere between the actual and as told by the employee.
Time constraint was there as I was allotted the project topic a bit late.
HR people could not give much time to me because of their busy schedule.
25
LEARNING DURING PROJECT
It was a great learning experience and exposure to the corporate world for 60 days. The learning
was not only limited to the project that I was assigned but much more than that.
In Sharda Hospital each employee can register his/her complain by raising a ‘Ticket’ in which
they write to the concerned HR person about their problem and the HR has to give a solution
within a couple of days.
Feedback from the employees is also very important for the HR job because it is necessary to
know from the employees if they are satisfied and enjoying working in the organization. This
helps in keeping a track of the attrition rate also. One such session that HR Department organizes
every Thursday is “We the People” session, in which the HR person informs the employees
about the present HR policies and take feedback from the employees and tries to work upon
them. Employees come up with their problems at
26
Sharda Hospital in those sessions which last for about 45 min to 1 hour. Mails were sent to the
employees regarding the session and also inform them by calling them the same day of the
session.
I was assigned to take Exit interviews for many employees through telephonic calls, in which I
had to ask them questions like:
What was the primary reason of their leaving the organization?
Were they happy with the work environment?
Were they happy with their managers?
Was the job fit for them?
Any suggestions for the organization to make it a better place to work?
HR used to take the telephonic interviews and note down their reasons of leaving and their feed
backs and then put them in an excel sheet which the HR executive used to analyze that.
There were a lot many reasons of employees leaving the organization but the most prominent
ones were personal reasons like health problems, death in the family, better career opportunities,
salary issues, etc and also learned about Full and Final settlement i.e. what people who leave the
organization are supposed to complete the formalities before leaving e.g. if they have some
salary due then until and unless they complete these formalities they cannot claim their salaries.
The Exit interview helps a lot in getting the actual feedback from the employees and is of great
help in the improvement in many areas within the organization if taken seriously into
consideration.
27
TakeAWAYS:
Firstly it was a very good experience to work and learn with a world class as it was my
first step into the corporate world.
When I saw my senior people doing each & every kind of work I came to know how
much important is each & every work. Maintaining files in systematic manner with each
& every detail is very important, if not done it hinders the work whenever these are
required for reference in medical claim formalities appraisal etc.
I also learned how much the values and culture of the organization impacts the
employee’s productivity. Like here the seniors were approachable in nature, I felt an
open culture. Many a times I felt people are not open to new ideas and they are resistant
to change. I have gained some learning from every individual working here; it might be
in terms of knowledge, skills, behavior or personal traits etc.
I have learned many small, minute things by observations, being in the HR department
for 2 months, which could not be learnt simply by reading books theoretically. The
practical experience was totally different. I have also learnt that a HR person should be
28
very polite, soft spoken & good in handling people. Coordination among the different
departments.
I observed the most important and basic thing of today’s world i.e. Time Management at
work ethics and the work culture.
In any job at any level, any post it is must to have the basic knowledge of the job as it is very
important to survive in an organization.
The Organizational Citizenship behavior is a very good thing I observed at Sharda Hospital i.e.
there are employees who are willing to exceed their formal job requirements, it served as a sense
of belonging to the organization.
RECOMMENDATIONS
They can look into various options like good rewards, bonding programme,
flexible working hours and stronger career path to retain the employees.
Management also needs to consider other aspects like secure career, benefits,
perks and communication.
29
Making work at fun place, having education and ongoing learning for the
workforce and treating applicants and an employee in the same way as one treats
customers.
It should be taken into consideration that each employee gets a job of his/her own
interest so that s/he enjoys the work.
