In each and every organization, there is a proper system of whole function and such a working system is always adopted as per prevailing laws for specific responsibility for each function. No doubt each department in an organization has its own importance but in order to run the whole working system smoothly, the Human Resource Department has to perform a vital role.

Let us see, why Human Resource Department is an important part of an organization and what are its functions?

In this regard, first of all, it will not be out of place to mention here that workforce is main factor for establishing an organization and till the working hands are not available, the objectives can not be achieved.

Through the prescribed policies and procedures, HRD selects the right persons for right job and with their help take the organization to the correct direction of working systems. HRD lays out the guidelines for further betterment of the organization, which are followed by its employees.

Since KKI has been transformed to an international company, therefore, the management aims to adopt all working procedures of the company systematically as per prevailing laws, SBP rules & regulations and present business environment. As the HR Policy has recently been introduced in the company to run the whole function systematically, the Human Resource Department of KKI is actively performing as per the HR Policy; this unit is trying its best to get the proper systems implemented in all the departments of the organization.

Initially, HRD made an ORGANIZATION CHART to show that how the employees are linked together in the company and to make them aware that which communication channel is used to reach them.

The HRD of KKI is taking necessary steps in the following jobs:

1. Fore-casting staffing needs for the company
2. Recruiting staff
3. Interviewing and selecting staff
4. Planning staff training programs
5. Keeping staff records
6. To implement the disciplines / Co, Rules & Regulations

HR department takes initiatives to recruit right persons for right jobs and selects competitive candidates by virtue of their qualification, skills, effective communication and work management skills, honesty etc. The HR also encourages its existing and senior staff to provide proper training to the newly hired employees recruited for their respective departments.

There is also a clear objective for training of employees in KKI. Through HR department, training covers many different needs & it is being arranged to:

1. Introduce new processes within organization
2. Increase skills and knowledge of the staff
3. Change People’s attitude
4. Improve efficiency of the workforce through various motivational tools
5. Provide training for the non-skilled workers to make them more valuable for the company
6. Improve the opportunity for internal promotion

There are three main types of training, which HRD in KKI is planning:

1. Induction training: an introduction is given to a new employee, explaining the firm’s activities, procedures and introducing them to their employees.
2. On the Job-training is gained through experience or informal instruction from a lead or supervisor.
3. Off job-training: employees are trained away from the work place usually by the Specialist trainers.

HR department has a policy to delegate the powers to the employees to perform the tasks, as this makes work more interesting and rewarding as well. Where as, employees feel their importance and believes that they are trusted to perform a good job. Delegation helps to train workers so that they can make progress in company. and it also gives them career opportunities.

The performance appraisal are the check & balance system of the employees, by which HR can determine the work efficiency, skills, talent and also indicate the training needs for the employees for further improvement.
