2.1 organizational overview
Grameen Bank is a micro finance organization and community development bank founded
in Bangladesh. It makes small loans (known as microcredit or "grameencredit") to the impoverished
without requiring collateral
Grameen Bank (GB) has reversed conventional banking practice by removing the need for
collateral and created a banking system based on mutual trust, accountability, participation and
creativity. GB provides credit to the poorest of the poor in rural Bangladesh, without any
collateral. At GB, credit is a cost-effective weapon to fight poverty and it serves as a catalyst in
the overall development of socio-economic conditions of the poor who have been kept outside
the banking orbit on the ground that they are poor and hence not bankable. Professor Muhammad
Yunus, the founder of “Grameen Bank” reasoned that if financial resources can be made
available to the poor people on terms and conditions that are appropriate and reasonable, “these
millions of small people with their millions of small pursuits can add up to create the biggest
development wonder.” As of December, 2017, it has 8.93 million borrowers, 97 percent of
whom are women. With 2,568 branches, GB provides services in 81,400 villages, covering more
than 97 percent of the total villages in Bangladesh. Grameen Bank’s positive impact on its poor
and formerly poor borrowers has been documented in many independent studies carried out by
external agencies including the World Bank, the International Food Research Policy Institute
(IFPRI) and the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).

3.2.3. Motivation:
Employees work in the organization for the satisfaction of their needs. In many of the cases, it is
found that they do not contribute towards the organizational goals as much as they can. This
happens because employees are not adequately motivated. The human resource manager
helps the various departmental manager to design a system of financial and non-financial
rewards to motivate the employees.
3.2.4. Maintenance
Merely appointment and training of people is not sufficient; they must be provided with good
working conditions. So that they may like their work and workplace and maintain their
efficiency. Working conditions certainly influence the motivation and morale of the employees.
These include measures taken for health, safety, and comfort of the workforce. The personnel
department also provides for various welfare services which relate to the physical and social
well-being of the employees. These may include provision of cafeteria, rest rooms, counseling,
group insurance, education for children of employees, recreational facilities, etc.

The word compensation has been originated from the Latin word “compensation” Which
means the reward or remuneration given in exchange for labor or service. Compensation may
be both financial and non-financial.
Employees exchange their physical and mental efforts for compensation, but compensation
means more than wage and salaries. It may include incentives & benefits that motivate
employees and relate labor costs to productivity.
Various scholars have defined compensation in various ways. A few among them are mentioned
below:
Compensation refers to a form of pay or reward going to employees arising from their
employments.
Compensation management is the process by which the authority of the organization provides
some financial and non-financial benefits to the employees for their contribution”
Page | 19
3.5 Objective of the compensation
Objective of the compensation are very important because it helps the organization obtain,
maintain and a productive work force. Without adequate compensation, current employees are
likely to leave. It is the main reason why most individual seek employment. From the employee
point of view, pay is necessary of life. Pay is the means by which people provide for their own
and their own and their family needs.
The management of compensation must meet several objectives. These objectives are listed
below:

employees with additional pay or incentives pay. Merit pay has advantage and disadvantage for
the employees and the employer.

Page | 22
Components of indirect compensation are discussed below:
Job security is a prime concern for workers. They want assurance of their jobs and income until
retirement. But very few jobs provide such guarantee. Other than accident and sickness, under
performance, interpersonal dynamics, changes in economic condition and technology may
cause temporary layoff or termination of employment opportunities arise.
When employees are unable to work due to some disability after an accident on job or outside,
some organization continue to pay them. Organization pays the employee remains absent for
work due to some accident. Mostly insurance covers, the medical expenses are the example of
disability income continuation.
Employees with families worry that they will not be able to provide and care for a support their
dependents in the event of their death or disability. To this end, certain plans have been
created to provide the dependents with the financial means to go on if an employee dies or
incapacitated due o temporary and permanent disability.
The past few years have seen a reduction in working hours. In addition, employees today enjoy
mode official non-working days and longer paid level. Components of payment for non-working
days raise labor costs. On the other hand, such payment allows for Lifestyle change and
enhancement of the quality of life.
Income equivalent payments are also known as perquisites or perks. Some of these special
benefits are exempted from tax and this advantageous for employers and employees. Examples
of special benefits are provision of credit cards, allowance to attend official meetings subsidized
food and childcare services.

6.2 Conclusion:
From the aforesaid topic & my point of origin to work in Grameen Bank, I can say that I really
enjoyed my report period at Grameen Bank from the first day. Though this short period of time
is not enough to go through all the selection of banking and gather adequate knowledge but I
am confident that this few days report program at Grameen Bank will definitely help me realize
my further career in the job market.
Although committed and loyal employees are the most influential factor to becoming an
employer of choice, it’s no surprise that companies and organizations face significant challenges
in developing energized workforce. However, there are plenty of research to show that
increased employee commitment and trust in leadership can positively impact the company’s
bottom line. In fact, the true potential of an organization can only be realized when the
productivity level of all individuals and teams are fully aligned, committed and energized to
successfully accomplish the goals of the organization.
Companies need to express and a commitment to develop employees career objectives by
introducing initiatives that make employees believe that their current job is the best path to
achieving their career goals.
