INJAZ Pakistan is positioned as a (Social-catalyst) with a focus on developing entrepreneurship and vocational skills amongst Pakistani youth through empowering them in their professional careers, while enhancing their: Leadership Self-esteem; Dignity of entrepreneurship; Creativity and innovation; Sustainability; Higher human values; and last but not the least, Opportunities for all.
INJAZ Pakistan operates as a local chapter of Junior Achievement, US through INJAZ Al Arab. Currently it is optimally leveraging its entitlement to replicate training programs and products of the parent institutions. While this relationship provides easier rout to early success, however in the longer run it raises the question of sustainability of INJAZ Pakistan as an independent institution. Moreover, dependent relationship also inhabits INJAZ Pakistans efficacy in terms of it programs and products suitability in the Pakistani context. Business Model The business model presented below integrates core, support and supervisory processes. The Board of Directors through various committees have a supervisory function in the overall management of the institution as portrayed in the model. Core processes represent the line functions per se. These are Project management and Program management. Support processes include Research and Development; Corporate Governance, Personnel and Organization Development; and, Accounting, Administration and IT services.
In the short term, the institution is financed through the sponsors and it leverages solely on the products of INJAZ Al Arab and Junior Achievement. Thus its chances to manage its operations efficiently and effectively

Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 4 are primarily contingent upon its capacity in programs management. In the long run, however, the institution must achieve capability to self-sustain. In this regard, the critical strengths would be project management; sustainable funds mobilization and their efficient management; research and development to develop and/or adopt training resources in the local context; and, development of specialized streams of personnel. Other areas of critical importance would be Corporate Governance & Compliance, Audit, and last but not the least, Accreditations that would right strengthen its public image and credibility of its products. From the external perspective, the institution aims to sink deeper through building sustainable linkages with the academia and community organizations in the short run. Subsequently, it aims to consolidate its linkages with the academia and community organizations and diversify its interventions while continuing to expand its outreach across the country. Furthermore, it will constantly forge its image as most preferred and transparent organization. Having said this, the institution aims to build its capability in terms of its structure and personnel. This follows that the institution shall simultaneously spell out its Personnel Strategy from the short term and long term perspectives. Proposed (Personnel Strategy) 1
As evident from the business model above, in the short run INJAZ Pakistan shall continue to build upon its capability in Program management. The implication of this on personnel would be to develop a core team of Program management specialists supported by a cadre of short term Incumbents, and external mentors or training specialists (not volunteers 2 ). In the long run, however, the institution envisages to building its capacity in project management; research and development for curriculum design; and materials development to augment the support in training resources from the parent institutions. This would entail nurturing a cadre of (Researchers and Developers) in the long run, who would take up the roles in training resource development. Proposed (Personnel Policy Objectives) To position INJAZ as preferred career choice amongst its contemporaries To promote integrity, commitment, objectivity, results focus and productivity To accelerate learning, engagement, and success To propagate equal opportunity, fairness, and transparency To make performances truly value-driven To achieve consistency, validity and reliability of personnel management practices Proposed (Performance Vision) INJAZ Pakistan is committed to promoting performance culture wherein each team player severally and together contributes towards empowering professional careers of Pakistani youth at the grass root levels. In doing so, the team players within their respective roles always conform to the highest standards of professionalism; ethics; and, social responsibility in mobilizing, managing and deploying intellectual and financial resources.

Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 6 Organization Design 1. Context INJAZ Pakistan is committed to always be a (Value Driven) organization. The commitment is essentially reflected in its empowering organization design / structure. Having said this, functions are assigned to dedicated teams within the ambiance of a supra INJAZ Team rather than to individuals. Furthermore, the envisaged relationships within teams are not based on status (position on the hierarchy) but roles. Individuals have their defined roles that are essentially non-competitive and complement each others roles and/or performance. Teams and individuals are empowered and access appropriate authority to function effectively, while the practice of leveraged actions / performance is completely negated. Middle management layer per se is considered dysfunctional for inculcating empowering team culture. Hence, the organization functions on a two-tiered structure Strategic Team consisting of Board of Directors and CEO and Business Teams representing specialized functions. The Chairman BoD heads the Strategic Team while the General Managers / Senior Managers head Business Teams. The Chief Executive Officer has a role to represent the BoD at the Business level besides representing the organization in the sector. The BoD leverages its roles through the CEO and the Board Committees. Individual may head multiple teams if necessary to keep the organization lean and efficient. 2.

It is the responsibility of the employee to make sure that his or her grievance holds sufficient grounds before putting it up for discussion and/or resolution.
INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 12 Compensation Framework (Draft) 1. Context Many organizations are being challenged to establish equity in compensation across the Positions. Ignorance or inability to achieve equity leads to serious employee performance and commitment challenges. Such as low morale, rivalry amongst Incumbents, lack of commitment, general dissatisfaction all affecting productivity and performance. Secondly, it distorts the Incumbents psychological contracts hence their ownership and responsibility towards their jobs. In modern days, organization have innovated several variants of compensation to improve at least perceptual equity. Some variants are briefly listed below: Pay for Performance: This regime has its roots in the famous Management by Objectives theory articulated by Peter F. Drucker a renowned management expert. It aims to connect compensation directly with employee performance. Per se this regime offers an acceptable basis of equity. However, it is something that is easy to say but rather impossible to do in the letter and spirit. While it encourages Incumbents to perform more and more if they wish to earn more. Yet, the irony is the system allows people if they wish to abuse it by manipulating their marginal performance into a big performance. Consequently, Incumbents focus on quantitative performance while ignore the qualitative side. For instance, a Credit Manager would sell more and more loans and to do so s/he will not consider which are less risky and which are more risky borrowers. Thus would end up selling more but high risk loans. Another serious dilemma attached to this regime is that at many instances performance measurement is much subjective leaving room for window dressing and articulation. Market Based Salaries: In the first place we must acknowledge that Market Value of an employee is a subjective phenomenon. Primary drivers to this are the opportunities at hand and the choices made by the respective Incumbents. Furthermore, it is relatively a new variant primarily introduced by the organizations to justify lateral hiring at much higher salaries than what is being paid to existing Incumbents at the same position. In essence it allows organizations to attract Incumbents from their competitors with ease for all the competitive reasons. Firstly, observation has shown that this approach does not provide long term competitive advantage. Real beneficiaries are the Incumbents who take advantage of this and always sit at the fence looking for even higher salary in the market. Eventually a price war is ignited in the market which effectively erodes profit margins for every organization. Even it is observed that presence of such Incumbents cause wide spread dissatisfaction amongst the existing loyal Incumbents. In fact they begin to think that they are being deprived of their rightful rewards. Not only this but at times they also think that the organization is punishing them for their commitment and loyalty by paying less compensation than the new hires. Qualification Based Salaries: Traditionally organizations used qualification and skill set as a prime basis for determining salaries across. Although it provides an objective basis for establishing equity amongst Incumbents, however, ironically studies have proved that Incumbents productivity and competence does not always correlate positively. Another significant problem with this system is that Incumbents tend to give more attention to improving their qualification and skill set without any concern for on the job performance and productivity. 2. Compensation Framework INJAZ Pakistan leverages compensation as a strategic tool to direct individuals and group performance. Having said this, INJAZ Pakistans compensation is well integrated within the performance management framework. At present standard compensation ranges are used to determine Gross Salaries at all positions. This model is INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 13 excessively discretionary and subjective. Furthermore it does not provide explicit correlation with the required performance. The framework has its premise on the following rationales: a. Value for money b. Fair and equitable c. Competitive d. Team based INJAZ Pakistan is cognizant of its donor driven status and is committed to optimize each rupee-value spent vis- -vis its object clause. Incumbents compensation is also an integral part of overall expenditure strategy. Hence, INJAZ Pakistan envisages that the Incumbents compensation must yield value for money. This is achieved through maintaining equity between what value a team or an employee delivers and the compensation paid. Nevertheless, INJAZ Pakistan is also committed to pay fair compensation as per the going rate in the market and achieve horizontal and vertical compensation equity within and outside the INJAZ Pakistan. Going a step further, INJAZ Pakistan recognizes the need for retaining talented and high performing Incumbents. In order to do that successfully, it aims to maintain long term competitive edge in careers vis--vis the industry. Nonetheless, employee-retention is a moving target hence it needs to be pursued rather selectively. Last but not the least, INJAZ wants to promote team synergy hence Team Performance is yet another benchmark used in determining team and individual compensation. The proposed compensation framework is more objective. Accordingly, salaries are computed on more objective basis. Having said this, Incumbents Net-Salary 1 at any point in time, is based on Incumbents respective position; length of service; amount and diversity of experience (exposure); proficiency (professional skill set, knowledge and perspective); and team performance. Salaries are based on the representative positions of the Incumbents. Incumbents Net-Salaries shall be computed vis--vis their seniority in the company and/or compatible positions held outside the company and demonstrated competence. However, the net-salary shall be within salary range, determined from time to time, for the specific position at which the employee is working / being hired. Refer to Annexes for Salary Ranges. Annual increments shall consist of three components, namely; - General Annual Increment Award 2
- Performance Award - Competency Award General Annual Increment Award (GAIA) shall compensate for the inflation during the preceding 12 months. Incumbents with less than 12 months of service shall be awarded this increment on pro-rata basis. Performance based increments are separately determined and awarded on the basis of individual and team performance appraisals 3 . Competence based increments are admissible subject to measureable improvement in competence, which will be determined on the basis of additional relevant qualification obtained and qualitative assessment of the immediate supervisor. Performance awards are based on the moving average points that Incumbents earn on their individual and team performance evaluations over the preceding three years. The impact of improvement or decay in the recent years performance ranking will be partially neutralized by previous years performance ranking. Hence it is hoped that an exceptional (biased) performance ranking in a year does not affect the performance award in the direct proportion. This shall not exceed 50% of applicable GAIA percentage.
Primary Salary General Annual Increment Award (GAIA) Competency Award Performance Award INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 14 Competence award is based on number of variables such as amount and diversity of experience (exposure), proficiency (professional skill set and knowledge), and last but not the least all perspective at work. The employees competence (each variable) is ranked in quantitative terms. Competence ranking does not change over time except for acquiring new skill set and knowledge through training programs or additional academic qualification and on the basis of qualitative evaluation of change in Incumbents perspective. This shall not exceed 30% of applicable GAIA percentage. It is expected that average employee shall stay in one position for not more than [2 to 3] years. However, fewer Incumbents may stay in the same position for longer period depending on their type of employment. They will have their primary salaries capped once they attain maximum till the time, management may decide to award mover-over or their employment terms are modified, as the case may be. It is hoped that by introducing the above increment-regime, gross salaries will eventually reflect fair and competitive compensation over a period of 5 years. 3. Administrative Control
Position Recommending Authority Approving Authority CEO / Executive Director Board HR Committee Board of Directors General Managers / Senior Managers CEO Board HR Committee Managers Internal HR Committee CEO Executives Officers Internal HR Committee CEO Staff Internal HR Committee CEO
The Board of Directors accord annual budget for salaries as a percentage (%) of annual funding (donations) and place the same at the discretion of Board HR Committee and/or CEO.
i. Disclaimer: The above framework is rather simplistic. It does not take into account the need for salary differentiation at similar positions across two or more functions, such as operations, marketing and administration. The underlying rationale for this is to ensure team spirit per se. However, it is hoped that the scales are constantly benchmarked against market value to ensure fair rewards for all without bias. Furthermore, it is aimed to reduce subjectivity and discretionary orientations observed in the prevailing system. Unlike the prevailing system, this tentative framework is based on rather discrete variables such as responsibility area management, operational or functional that is represented by the Position, moving average performance points, education and training, etc. The additional advantage of this framework is that the incumbent can hardly disagree with what salary he or she is paid, for the framework is quite quantified and transparent. Thus it is hoped that this will lead to greater equity perception amongst the incumbents. ii. Increment Computations Exemplified: Data: Inflation 10 p.a. Incumbents performance achievements of A & B are 100% and 80% respectively. Team Performance Achievement 80%. Incumbents competency improvement scores of A & B are 50% and 75% respectively. Name Base Increment % Performance Award % Competence Award % Total Increment % A 10.0% Composite Performance (0.8*1) 80% Performance Award (0.8*0.1*0.5) 4.0% (0.5*0.1*0.3) 1.5% (10 + 4 + 1.5) 15.50% B 10.0% Composite Performance (0.8*0.8) 64% Performance Award (0.64*0.1*0.5) 3.2% (0.75*0.1*0.3) 2.25% (10 + 3.20 + 2.25) 15.45%
Notes: 1 Net Salary refers to gross salary minus other admissible allowances. 2 Gneral Annual Increment Award is determined on Year to Year basis by the management. 3 For working details please refer to Performance Appraisal Framework in the following chapters of this manual.
Eligible incumbents of the company are provided with a range of benefits that are designed to provide for adequate personal security. A number of programs (such as EOBI) cover all Incumbents in the manner prescribed by law. Benefits eligibility is dependent upon a variety of factors, including employee classification.

INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 17 INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 18 PERFORMANCE PLANNING AND REINFROCEMENT FRAMEWORK* General Guidelines
The Performance Management Program is a process that involves both the Manager/Supervisor and the staff reporting to him/her. The Program has four individual components to ensure achievement of goals throughout the year. The components are:
1. The Probationary Period Assessment An initial Performance Assessment is conducted at the completion of the three month Probationary period.
2. The Performance Plan is to be developed at the end of the Probationary period. The purpose of the Performance Plan is to identify the level of performance expected and for the Manager/Supervisor to provide on-going coaching to assist the employee towards achievement of stated expectations.
3. A Progress Check, is an informal review of performance to a. Determine that goals and objectives that were being set are being achieved, b. Review progress, c. Recognise achievements, d. Discuss developmental needs, and/or e. Provide assistance in the accomplishment of performance goals.
4. The Annual Performance Review. A formal Performance Review may be conducted for all Incumbents once a year, at the end of each calendar year by the reporting Manager/Supervisor.
*Adopted from AMAN Foundation on as is basis. INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 19 General Policy Guidelines
iv. General Conduct
INJAZ Pakistan places high priority to its corporate and social responsibilities towards its constituents (institutions and trainees) and Pakistani community at large. It is therefore expected of every incumbent to take cognizance of the corporate and social responsibility while delivering any service; demonstrate respect to the social and religious values of the constituents; maintain congenial working relations; and last but not the least, optimize service value. v. Work Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
INJAZ Pakistan commits to always comply with all applicable laws and regulations and expects its directors, officers, and incumbents to conduct all activities in accordance with the letter, spirit, and intent of all relevant laws and to refrain from any illegal, dishonest, or unethical conduct. Furthermore, incumbents are mandated to conduct business within guidelines that prohibit actual or potential conflicts of interest.
INJAZ Pakistan defines Ethical or Responsible Behaviour as being able to assert own rights in a manner that does not undermine rights of others. Furthermore, the incumbents behaviour must also conform to legal, moral and social contract. Incumbents are expected to must demonstrate ethical and/or responsible behaviour with the constituents, organization, co-workers and society in general. In a situation where it becomes difficult to determine an appropriate course of action, the incumbent should discuss the issue openly with the immediate supervisor, and, if necessary, with the Head of the Department, for further advice and guidance.
Compliance with the policy of work ethics and conflicts of interest is the responsibility of every incumbent. While INJAZ Pakistan is confident that incumbents will respect this standard of business ethics and conduct; disregard or failure to comply may lead to disciplinary action, up to and including possible termination of employment.
Incumbent is responsible for the accuracy and correctness of information contained in the Employment Application, as well as other personal data presented in the due course of time. Any misrepresentations, falsifications, or material omissions in any of this information or data may result in the exclusion of the individual from further consideration for employment or, if the person has been hired, termination of employment. vi. vii. Work Relationships
INJAZ Pakistan aims to foster interdependent work culture within its ranks. Team work is highly encouraged while solo performance is not appreciated unless otherwise the task entails. Team work is described as a working relationship where everyone contributes unique (diverse) value and also enables each other to do so thus synergizing the whole team performance. Every one doing everything is not considered team-work. viii. ix. Work Schedules
The normal work schedule is 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., Monday to Friday. The management may, however, consider in certain circumstances to allow Flexible Work Schedule to all or specific incumbents, if deemed productive for the conduct of their assignments. Incumbents are expected to plan their daily work activities in such a manner that the work is completed within the work schedule. However, they may be required to work beyond the work schedule when necessary. Incumbents should arrange to report to their work stations preferably 15 minutes before the start time and occasionally not later than 15 minutes past the scheduled time. Incumbents are also expected to maintain punctuality of their attendance. However, we recognize the personal casualties INJAZ Pakistan Draft for Discussion Corporate Consulting Group, Pakistan Page 20 of the incumbents. Therefore, occasionally incumbents may avail casual leaves of absence, but not for more than 3 consecutive days. Preferably an advance approval in this regard should be taken however, in case of emergencies the incumbent should notify of his or her absence via email or phone to the immediate supervisor or any other responsible person followed by initiating retrospect- approval. In case emergency prevails beyond 3 days, the incumbent should initiate request for approval of medical or annual leave of absence.

Detailed Position Profiles: Team work is ensured through matrix structure design. Consequently, each incumbent irrespective of being a supervisor or reportee, has been assigned unique responsibilities. Put it differently, each incumbent is responsible for a specific set of responsibilities (This is contrary to conventional approach where the supervisor owns the responsibility yet s/he delegates its implementation to the reportees). It is expected that this will foster team culture, ownership where the work is done and accountability of the incumbent. Furthermore, the overall organization structure is designed flat to instill empowerment; focus on roles; and, effective communication. It is anticipated that an incumbent shall be responsible for more than one activity. This job enlargement can be visualized in two ways: an incumbent can be simultaneously assigned two processes, or the incumbent can be Head of Department in one process and at the same time can be a reportee at another process. Lastly, an incumbent can head more than one process. Detailed profiles for each position follow. It is recommended that Terms of Reference should be written for each incumbent on case to case basis, based on his or her job contents (number of processes).
