Outcome of our project
In Meezan Bank we have observed that there is a working of HR department but
not as much advance as it is required, to be a successful bank in the country.
They said they use two approaches, behavior approach, result approach, but
they use them in a general way not as specified in our course contacts,
Behavior approach:-
They said they use this approach, as we explained this earlier, but they don’t
know the basic terms which they should know for better performance
measurement.
Absolute systems
Comparative systems
There HR manager should make a training programs for their employees so they
can understand the basic terms and use them in the evaluation process.
Result Approach:-
They do not focus on MBO as such if they will do so then they can get better
results & can measure them with more accuracy.

Feedback process;-
They take feedback from different sources that process is called 360
degree feedback but they don’t know this term.
