Planning provides a sense of purpose and direction. It is a comprehensive framework for making
decisions in advance. It also facilitates the organizing, leading, and controlling functions of
management. Planning: allows you to make your decisions ahead of time, it helps we to anticipate
the consequences of various courses of action, it provides direction and a sense of purpose, it
provides a unifying framework against which to measure decisions, and thus helps you avoid
piecemeal decision making. Planning also helps identify potential opportunities and threats, and
facilitates control. It is concerned with the end (what is to be done) as well as with means (how it is
to be done).
The emergence of new training companies, market has become much more competitive and
employees are less loyal of the company. Whenever they get any opportunity better than existing job
they just opt for that which is there right, .However Pakistan Audit and Accounts Academy is
aware of this fact and that is why they do not have formal strategy for succession planning. They do
consider the people from inside but proper succession planning is not practiced in Pakistan Audit &
Accounts Academy these days. When they entered in to market they used to have strategy regarding
this matter.
But now due to market trends they have transformed there new strategies. According to the
management it is not useful to invest a lot in the employee at a larger extent. They do develop
employees for there career planning but no formal succession planning practice.

6. There may be various other strengths of the HR practices and management system of PAAA, only the
most important have been discussed above.
Weaknesses
It is very difficult to find any weaknesses in the HR management of a company that has developed and created its HR
strategy with near perfection. However some weaknesses can be pointed out.
1. PAAA has a trend of maintaining long relations with employees and sticking with the same people as long as
it is productive. Most of these people and promoted from with in the company to from the middle and upper
management. This result in loss of creativity that can be recognized by external recruitment for these core
managerial positions.
2. The employees are supposed to work at late without being paid additionally. This creates mental tension.
3. CV’S are not properly entertained.
4. Certain non-financial rewards such as “employee of the year” which is used as motivation tool are not
properly communicated to the employees regarding their importance.
5. The most common complaint that is heard by the employees is the biasness of immediate bosses. That
creates a sense of concern within the employees.
Page 23 of 28
Conclusion
To conclude PAAA has a strong HR system. That is the reason we didn't found much discrepancies in what
management says, what polices state and what employee say. 90% of the times they were same. There are
some minor discrepancies but they are adjustable with little effort.
Page 24 of 28
Discussion
There are a number of opportunities that are available in areas of HR for PAAA during the course of its future
activities. These are:
The company can discover great potential through the future graduates as every generation is being
taught in more effective manner that leads to better growth. Being a leading company in the
employment ranking of Pakistan PAAA can recruit the “creams of graduates” every year and utilize
their improved knowledge and abilities.
There is an opportunity to create the best image of the company in the mind of customers by adding
the value added services.
With the expansion in the company business in Pakistan, the HR department can be expended in
order to manage diversity of workforce.
Due to entering of new companies in Training industry the competition has been enhanced. Like other
areas HR department is facing threat of employees from PAAA to other companies.
The skilled and qualified workers are being attracted by the other Training & multinational Training
companies.
