EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The core objective of the internship is to fulfill the requirement of the BBA program as
prescribed by the LPU. An intern has to prepare project report at the end of the internship
period but the main objective of the internship is to get the hands-on experience of the real-
world organization. The internship was completed with the objective of getting practical
knowledge in the HR department of Logpro Supply Chain Solutions, Gurugram.
The first responsibility I was assigned on these initial days of internship period was to assist
the trainer for the TTT program. Secondly, I was allotted the work of Medical Insurance Data
Sheet Update, Attendance Sheet and HR drive Handling. As an intern, I realized that I was
successful to gather a lot of significant learning experiences which would be helpful in my
future career. The HR department of Logpro offered me ample space and opportunities, not
only to learn but also to exhibit my skills as a HR team member. I could use my theoretical
knowledge of HR in real practice while participating in many discussions. I was actively
involved in the department meetings where I shared my knowledge and views regarding the
performance in HRD of Logpro Supply Chain Solutions, Gurugram.
I also attempted to gather more information on basic job functions of other departments to
have better understanding of the relation between them and the HR department. It was
commendable to see how wholeheartedly they welcomed, acknowledged, and appreciated
new ideas and knowledge. I have provided few recommendations based upon my
understanding and knowledge.
I successfully completed all the assigned duties and handed them over to the senior
supervisor. I am thoroughly enjoying the challenges that came along every single day. I could
also bring some minor improvisations during my internship which were able to leave their
marks. These lessons that I have learned and continue to learn will be a valuable one for my
future endeavors as well.

ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
Logpro Supply Chain Solutions Pvt. Ltd. are a market leader in the Logistics and Supply
Chain industry with specialization in 3PL logistics, International Freight Forwarding and
Customs Clearance both in the Domestic and International segment. We combine a process-
driven approach with action to deliver measurable business value to make our clients more
efficient.
Operations-

o Service Specialist
Sales-
o Field Sales
o Inside Sales
o Sales Coordination
A 3PL (third-party logistics) provider offers outsourced logistics services, which encompass
anything that involves management of one or more facets of procurement and fulfillment
activities. In business, 3PL has a broad meaning that applies to any service contract that
involves storing or shipping items. A 3PL service may be a single provider, such as
transportation or warehouse storage, or it can be a systemwide bundle of services capable of
handling supply chain management.
The primary benefit of using a 3PL service to handle logistics, such as packaging,
warehousing, fulfilment and distribution, is cost savings -- for example, not having to
maintain a warehouse or the staff to monitor supply chain operations.
A 3PL service likely offers better performance on efforts such as shipping while also
enjoying an easier ability to scale its operations. If the publishing company in the example
above suddenly needs to ship more copies of a popular title, a fulfilment centre will have an
easier time meeting that demand than if the publisher itself had to ship additional copies of
the book.

OVERVIEW of HR DIVISION
Human resource management involves all management decisions and practices that directly
affect or influence the people, or human resources, who work for the organization. In modern
years, amplified concentration has been devoted to how organizations manage Human
Resources. This augmented focus comes from the comprehension that an organization’s
employees facilitate an organization to attain its goals and the management of these human
resources is vital to an organization’s success.
3.2 Functions of HR
By doing all these functions Human resource management complete its job.
1. Staffing in HRM
Activities in HRM concerned with seeking and hiring qualified employees is Staffing. A
company needs a well-defined reason for needing individuals who possess specific skills,
knowledge, and abilities to specify the job. Employee referrals can produce the best
applicants for two reasons. First, current employees screen applicants before referring
them. Second, current employees believe that their reputations with the firm will be
reflected in the candidates that they recommend.
Recruiting is the initial step of staffing. Recruiting is the process of locating, identifying,
and attracting capable employees. Many companies are finding new employees on the
World Wide Web. The source that is used should reflect the local labor market, the type
or level of position, and the size of the organization. Now the second step of Staffing, that
is Strategic HR planning. For that a company plans strategically. They set goals and
objectives, these goals and objectives may lead to the structural changes in the company.
Third step is Selection. This process is attracting qualified applicators and discouraging
the unqualified applicants. By this a company can get its desired employees of
requirement. It has dual focus, attempting thin out the large set of applications that arrived
during the recruiting phase and to select an applicant who will be successful on the job.
To achieve this goal, companies can use a variety of steps. The employees who can do all
the steps and ensure good performance they get the job. HRM must communicate a
variety of information to the applicants, such as the organization culture. Under the
selection process there are some steps:
2. Training and Development:
Employee Orientation:
Employee orientation provides new employees with the basic background information
they need to perform their jobs satisfactorily. Companies arrange an orientation
program for the employees.
In an orientation program the employees should feel-
o feel welcome
o understand the organization in a broad sense
o be clear about what the firm expects in terms of work and behavior
o begin the process of socialization
Employee Training:
There is some process, method and techniques of employee training. A company
follows the all the steps of training to provide the employees a good look on their
work.
Career Development:
The career development stage is given below:
o Pre transition: Is simply looking for a job and preparing oneself for a career.
o Transition: An individual is already having a job and developing oneself for
future career or moving to another career.
o Preferred area: An individual prefers a specific sector of the career.
o Early stage: First 1-5 years of career is called early career.
o Mid-career: 5-20 years after the career starts.
o Late career: Late career starts after 20 years of job life.
o Retirement: And finally, after completing the stages of career and individual
decides to retired.
3. Motivation in HRM
Motivation is to inspire people to work, individuals in such as to produce best results. It is the
willingness to exert high level of effort towards organizational goals, conditioned by the
efforts and ability to satisfy some individual needs.
An important part of the retention of staff, reducing staff turnover and minimizing
absenteeism at work is ensuring that staff are properly motivated. The wage should be
increased, the facilities should be insured and social security should be confirmed. These are
the types of common motivational ways. Staff motivation is the cornerstone of open, flexible
and caring management culture, which the Government aims to establish through HRM.
To put it into practice, “open” means not only to listen to staff suggestions and opinions, but
also to empower staff, accept their constructive criticisms and use their suggestions. To be
“flexible”, we may need to change the traditional ways of doing things. As far as staff
motivation is concerned, the biggest challenge perhaps is to stop focusing on problems and
the guilty party (police behavior) and start looking for those responsible for things gone right
(coach behavior).
“Caring” calls for a human leader who would give emotional support to individuals and at the
same time attend to the overall emotional needs of team members – which include treating
them all in a fair and impartial manner.
Today’s employees want a respect that can be seen as involvedness in decision that will
affect them. Listening to the employees is a way of Motivation. All the motivation functions
focus on one primary goal, to have some competent and adapted employees with up-to-date
skills, knowledge and abilities, exerting high energy levels.
4. Maintenance of employees
To maintain the employees of a company must look after the employee
o Communication:
The communication between the employees and top-level management should be
clear and transparent. There should no gap between top level management and low-
level management.
o Employee’s relation:
Employees should be committed to their companies and the companies also should
understand the needs and wants of the employees. In some companies’ employees and
labors create labor union for better relationship among the workers and employees.
5. Employee Engagement
While all departments throughout the company can and should execute various employee
engagement measures, HR departments are particularly vital for employee engagement
approaches to be successful. The impact of employee engagement on employee retention,
as well as wellbeing and productivity, is something which HR departments must keep at
the forefront of their initiatives.
CHAPTER 4
HRM OF LOGPRO SUPPLY CHAIN SOLUTIONS
During my internship I was mainly assign in HR department. Logpro Supply Chain Solutions
Private Limited always determine what jobs need to be done, and how many and types of
workers will be required. So, establishing the structure of the asset management company
assists in determining the skills, knowledge, and abilities of job holders. To ensure
appropriate personnel are available to meet the requirements set during the strategic planning
process. It believes that the quality work comes from quality workers who are well motivated
and ready to take challenge to provide better service.
The staffing process- putting the right people in the right positions at the right times- is one of
the most critical tasks any organization faces. The quality of the work performed can be only
as high as the capabilities of the people performing it.
Three officers are working in HR staffing unit. They perform the following activities.
Recruitment
Recruitment is the process by which a firm finds its employees, are perhaps the most critical
tasks any organization faces. Without the right people, no firm can function effectively. For a
recruitment program to be successful, managers should cooperate with the human resources
staff to define needs and predict vacancies. This recruiting may be done by internal or
external.
Types of Recruitment:
Selection:
The critical criteria in this regard are job relatedness, reliability, and viability. For selection of
candidates following things are considered

under the service rule of et Management may be granted by the Managing Director or his
authorized person, who may refuse leave, grant leave for a shorter period than applied for,
revoke leave of any description and recall an employee before the expiry of the leave. One
Officer is looking after the leave matter of employees and keeping leave records.
They maintain employees’ personal profile with hardcopy of documents for example: CV, NID, Educational
Certificates and other necessary documents.
4.1.2 HR Operations:

CHAPTER 5
PROGRAM WORKPLACE RELATIONSHIP
The internship program was a truly rewarding experience. I encountered with real life HR
activities and received the opportunity to perform in those activities. My knowledge of HR
was helpful to add new perspective while we gathered for department meetings. I am
witnessing the execution of all the HR functions in real life however I only had the theoretical
knowledge about them which answered many "whys" of mine. It was commendable to see
how wholeheartedly they welcomed, acknowledged, and appreciated new ideas and
knowledge. I also attempted to gather more information on basic job functions of other
departments to have better understanding of the relation between them and the HR
department.
The company offered a friendly and cooperative environment. Everyone in the HRD was
occupied with their own routine work which I believe limited my learning possibilities.
However, this internship has helped me to bridge the gap bet real life practice. My primary
objective was to observe, evaluate and compare the relationship between the knowledge that I
have gained in my BBA and workplace. This internship till date has certainly helped me learn
how tasks are performed in a workplace. However, some of the practices of the HR
department during my internship raised my concerns.
As proverb goes, "a book cannot be judged by its cover", it is difficult to tell where an
organization stands just by looking at its physical infrastructure unless you get into it.
And this experience has given me a rare opportunity to take a closer look at a workplace and
understand the differences between the classroom knowledge and real corporate world.
Naturally, in a country like ours, we certainly have a big gap between the bookish knowledge
and the one earned from experience. It is extremely difficult for those to understand the real
world without any prior working experience.
Our curriculum has provided us with an extremely relevant academic knowledge. All the
academic learning may have not been applied in practice, I could still see the need of its
implementation and how it could bring about positive changes to the HR department.
Organizational Behavior
Organizational Behavior (OB) is the study and application of knowledge about how people,
individuals, and groups act in organizations. It interprets people-organization relationships in
terms of the whole person, whole group, whole organization, and whole social system. Its
purpose is to build better relationships by achieving human objectives, organizational
objectives, and social objectives.
My previous work experiences had prepared me well to fit in an organization and understand
their organizational cultures. So, I was prepared and started performing the very day I joined
as it didn’t take me too long to understand my responsibilities. I was impressed by the nice,
welcoming ambience and even more with the friendly behavior of the coordinators which
demonstrated that the HR department was successful in keeping a stress-free working
environment. They explained and fully assisted me to learn the different systems of the
recording information of the employees. They were very patient with me; I needed to
improvise because of which I made almost mistakes at all. The HR Development and
Training Manager was very motivating and appreciative. My ideas, efforts and work were
always acknowledged and appreciated. I was able to make an impression on the HR seniors
by my technological knowledge which at times solved even some of the complex problems.
Managerial Communication
I truly appreciate the support I received from my college throughout the internship period. I
was put in a constant touch with the college supervisor and was observing closely all my
activities which encouraged me to put more hard work every day, as I mentioned earlier, it
did reflect in my duties which got noticed by the seniors of the HR. And working in diverse
and multicultural environment had me an opportunity to utilize and improvise my
communication skills by interacting with employees of various hierarchy, nationality, and
cultural background. In conclusion, I can state that this internship program gave me a
platform to apply my theoretical knowledge in practical life. And this practical
implementation of my academic knowledge has helped me to understand the complexities,
challenges and prospects that lie in a real corporate world. Much as I enjoyed my eight weeks
term, I certainly did learn a lot from each day of work and everyone I had a chance to interact
with.
CHAPTER 6
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS:
The strengths of a company are the most important building blocks required for growth to
take place. The following are a few of the most prevalent strengths that Logpro has at the
present time.
Recruitment: Their recruitment and selection policy is very strong. Logpro recruits talented
candidates from the market through proper testing- written and interview. The written part
contains questionnaires that are of IBA standard which is a renowned education institution of
our country.
Work environment: During my stay I found the work environment very satisfactory.
Everyone is cordial and helpful and cooperative. There is less internal conflict or politics at
play which is essential for conducting a productive working environment.
Transparency: For clear communication to the employees of the HR Practice in Logpro,
they have a service rule book which they give to every employee. The guide articulates
important and covers all HR Practice followed by the organization. This is very helpful both
for the employees and the employer as it removes chances of misinterpretation, bias etc.
WEAKNESS:
Though Alliance Capital Asset Management Ltd is a company that has many strengths but it
also has some weakness. The followings are few of the most common weakness that Alliance
Capital has at the present time:
Leaves Formulation
OPPORTUNITY:
Recruitment:
Most recruitment in here is through internal recruitment, they can spread the pool of entry
level employees through campus recruitment.
Expanded market:
As new industries are coming into the market, capital market is being large enough and long-
term financial demand is being created. The open-ended mutual fund is a new sector, so there
are high possibilities of growth in this sector. Open ended mutual fund is a largely untapped
market, and Alliance Capital will be able to capture many institutional clients from
competitors, as well as new clients.
THREATS:
An organization’s threats are negative external factors. An organization should explore all
possible threats available to it. These threats are intended to diminish the organization. By
making improvements and proper monitoring of the threats, the organization should be
able to turn more competitive in the market. The following are threats are available to
Alliance Capital Asset Management Ltd in order to threaten its existence.
CHAPTER 7
RECOMMENDATIONS/SUGGESTIVE MEASURES
o To get effective and efficient employee, the organization should arrange proper
training and development programs.
o The organization should provide well direct compensation as well as direct to its
staffs.
o The management should have job evaluated salary structure, which is most
competitive than other organizations in the country.
o The management should create customers database and continuously informing the
investors about the available facilities or opportunities which will work to achieve
twin goal at a time; one is direct marketing and another is large pool of customers
database.
CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
It was an absolute worthwhile experience working at the Logpro Supply Chain Solutions. The
friendly welcoming staff and the space they have created for a trainee/intern allowed me with
ample opportunities to learn and know myself as a worker. This experience brought out my
strength and the areas I needed to improvise. It added more confidence to my professional
approach, built a stronger positive attitude and taught me how to work in team as a player.
The primary objective of an internship is to gather a real-life working experience and put
their theoretical knowledge in practice. I am grateful to the entire team of HRD of the hotel
for their unprecedented support to make my working experience truly rewarding. Especially
working in this department made me realize my competencies and level of understanding
regarding the human resources. On completion of this internship period, I came to know
about the importance of human resources and the role of HR manager, Training Executive,
HR Senior Supervisor and HR Senior Assistant in an organization.
As an intern, though I had a limited space to work, I still managed to grab plentiful of
experiences. I made the best of every opportunity I was given and made the utmost use of my
abilities and knowledge to fulfill all my responsibilities. I could implement my academic
skills into practice and my efforts were highly acknowledged. There is however some gap
between our theoretical knowledge and real-life practice, yet the managerial level staff
members is quite open towards upgrading current approach, which was extremely
motivating.
