one Senior Assistant, and one messenger.
HR ISSUES in PAU:
Regarding human resource, the following issues have been observed in this section of BSC:
Backup: There is not any back up HR resources for different desks of the PAU.
When some of the employees or officers are not available (on leave) no other
Lack of HR resources: There are seven OG2s, five OG1s, one Senior Assistant,
and one messenger in PAU working under ACM. According to workload analysis no
the completion.
Internal Control: As the nature of transactions in PAU department is critical and
the accounts are also important (Govt. accounts) there must be a separate internal
audit system for this department. It is also needed to be checked whether employees
are working according to their job description or not.

Weaknesses
Technological backwardness
Unlike most of the Central Banks of other countries SBP-BSC is not updated in
technology. They are using old Pentium processor computers and CRT monitors. The
GLOBUS software used is not updated. Computers and GLOBUS software was
introduced in 2003 and they are in the same form, not updated. This causes system
freezes and hang ups and hence time wastage.
Latest procedures and best practices are not adopted
Just like computing technology, the procedures are not updated and best practices of
the similar organizations are not adopted, which is causing stagnation. SBP-BSC has
to work with other institutes and conduct regular research to develop and modify their
procedures.
Staff is not well trained in IT
SBP-BSC employees in general and imputers should be trained at least for improving
their working speed. It will speed up the payment process and entry system.
Opportunities
Investment in IT and latest technology
There is a great opportunity for SBP-BSC to invest in latest technology. By replacing
the present system of physical movement of cheque for clearance with image based
29
clearance system like software based Cheque Truncation System (CTS). It could be a
source of earning for SBP and would also help achieve its goal of providing a
facilitating financial market.
Threats
Political instability and pressure can harm the operations of SBP
Frequently changing governments and their policies harm the functionality and
consistency of SBP-BSC policies.
Excessive government borrowings
Excessive borrowings of the present government is making difficult for SBP to
maintain financial reserves.
Circulation of fake currency
A huge amount of fake currency is floating in the market which is causing inflation in
the economy and is devaluing rupee. Fake money makers have improved the quality
of their fake notes and it is hard for general public to distinguish them from original
currency notes.
Economic Factors
SBP is privileged to hold the reserves of the whole economy and it is also responsible to
manage and control exchange rate of the economy.
FY13 ended on a positive note for Pakistans economy: political transition remained smooth
in June 2013, and the new government spelled out its policy focus on energy issues, which
had suppressed growth in the previous few years.
Since macroeconomic indicators were favorable at the start of the year, the increase in real
GDP growth in FY14 was discernible.
30
As the industrial sector revived, import pressures reappeared, especially for capital goods and
raw materials. So, SBP purchased US$ 125 million from the interbank (top level foreign
exchange) market during July and August 2013, to shore up its reserves.
So there are number of economic factors faced by SBP to strengthen our currency as the
economic conditions are not favorable that is why the rupee depreciated and the inflation
increases day by day.
Social Factors
SBP is also socially contributed to the economy as SBP is banker to the government and
banker to the banks is provides suitable environment to employees and give them reasonable
monetary benefits. Employee enjoys interest free loans, free medical care of family and
insurance of life. SBP promotes Say No to Corruption, and participate in different
programs to aware the public against corruption.
Technological Factors
SBP-BSC is using advanced technology as it uses the softwares like Globus banking and
cash system, Oracle, Payroll systems which are full of technology. But the need is employees
are not well enough trained and some of the works till know done on manual basis which is
time consuming and employees become tired. In our project we give some of the suggestions
regarding to their technology and work process improvements
31
2.6 Recommendations
While working in the SBP-BSC I have recognized that there are many issues regarding to
employees and regarding to systems. So I concluded some of the suggestions and
recommendations for SBP-BSC.
Employees must be given system based training in their required areas. As it is not
possible to train all the employees simultaneously so they must be sent to the training
centers in batches of 4-5 people.
In house trainers must also be utilized. They will train the employees better then
outside institutions as they are familiar with the office environment and know its
requirements. It will save time and other resources of the organization.
There must be audit related training for the staff of IMU as currently there is no
formal training given to them.
Before transferring an employee to another seat he must be given an initial training by
the officer already working there. This will allow him to work independently without
asking for help in every new step. This will also save a lot of time which can be used
in some other productive activity.
There should be separate Information desk for general public, employees, and new
internees.
Inquiry counter for the public should be maintained for security.
Easy access through:
Token system
Speakers
Hiring of young people on counters for making work efficient.
Behavior of employees should be same for everyone to create good image.
Communication skills must be improved on the job.
Training on time management for efficiency in process.

2.7 Conclusion
SBP-BSC providing the opportunity of paid internship programs which is very useful step.
Most of the students are not familiar with the SBP operations because these operations are
changed from normal banking process. Overall working process of the SBP-BSC is reliable
and most comfortable for employees but some of the discrepancies are there and need to be
improved. While working on the project of Work Load Analysis & Workload HR issues in
PAU I have concluded that, the work process in PAU is found appropriate and in accordance
with the Banking Department Manual. Employees are competent and cooperative. However
because of the higher workload certain issues occur. But these issues can be minimized
through modification of the system and process, human resource planning, and trainings. It
will be helpful in creating an environment conducive to efficiency and smooth flow of
transactions in the section.
