Introduction
This report is a result of a study conducted at Amal International School from 28 th November to 8th
December 2022 as per the mandate given to the HR Consultant, Mr. Azmy Saly by the Board of Directors
of Amal International School. Purpose of this study comprises the following elements that were believed
to be the concerns towards the existing HR processes in the school.
1. Inferior HR Services
2. Unresponsiveness towards service seekers
3. Disorganized documentation system
4. Incompetent HR authority
5. Lack of HR focus
6. Concerns of recruitment
7. Concerns of turnover
Though the above concerns were presented to the HR Consultant, study was conducted to find out the
other crucial issues that could be reasons for the identified concerns as well.
Activities that were carried out in the school during the mandated tenure.
1. Teacher/Staff fact finding survey that covers satisfaction to stress.
2. Closed door interviews with Principal, VPs and Sectional Heads.
3. Closed door interviews with old and new teachers.
4. HR Audit on documentation.
5. One to One conversation with the HR Officer.
Findings will be followed by the suggestions and some suggestions are repeated as they are applied
throughout the world as best HR practices for different purposes.
This report does not intend to force anyone who reads it for him or her to take any adverse decisions due
to emotions, that cannot be defended logically against anyone as the findings are purely based on the
requirement of system change rather than changing people who were victims of monotonous systems due
to various reasons.
60% says they did not receive any work-life balance activities during their stay.
Interpretation & Suggestion – 8
This is a very serious concern that will challenge the individual productivity. Work pressure and
life pressure must be balanced. Lack of work-life balance will lead to high level of stress. Fun filled
activities and change management activities would solve the problems up to certain extent.
Sub-finding – 9
44% are suffering from stress due to personal and family reasons. The next response also goes
along with this emphasizing 72% of the staff are suffering from stress in their school setting. In
another response 68% staff expressed that they are unable to take decisions.
Interpretation & Suggestion – 9
This finding goes parallel with the earlier finding related to stress level of the staff. Stress level is
higher in school than in the home. Suggestion 8 is applicable to this as well. Incapability of decision
making is also a sign of stress and it could be a root cause for the sign of stress due to lack of
delegation of power.
Delegation of power must be done by establishing policies and procedures that is unavailable in
the school.
84% of the respondents were of the opinion that they can earn more outside of this school.
Interpretation & Suggestion – 10
This shows the competitive market in the industry and the risk of turnover as well. While revising
the scales it is required to see whether we can use internal resources for in house programs
minimizing the utilization of external resources on payment. 50% of that expenditure can be used
for the utilization of internal talents on payment.
Sub-finding – 11
76% feel that the school facilities for the staff and children are not up to the standard.
Interpretation & Suggestion – 11
This feeling can be due to other factors that are negative and not because of the lack of facilities.
It will be addressed if other matters are addressed properly.
