Summer Training constitutes an important part of a good practice oriented management course. Inkeeping with the syllabus of MBA, each student has to undergo 6 weeks practical training in a
commercial organization or industry. So in order to fulfill this requirement, I under went this training at
BANK OF BARODA.
Practical training is necessary to learn as to how theoretical knowledge can be put into practice in real
life situations. I went to the training knowing fairly well some basic principles of management and this
training has indeed helped me to understand the vast difference between theory as well as practice.
During my summer training, I learned how the day to day problems are tackled by the executives; how
an industrial unit is run, etc. i.e. I saw the actual working of an organization which left me awestruck.
The overall knowledge gained by me will be reflected in the training report itself.
In today s globalize world where cut -throat competition is prevailing in the market theoretical
knowledge is not sufficient so the practical knowledge has become very essential for an individual who
would help him/her for bright future and career activities.
My project is an attempt to gain better understanding about “ Analysisof Study of Employee Engagement Practices In Banking Industry ” of employees in Bank of Baroda.

“An organization, usually a corporation, chartered by a state or federalgovernment, which does most or
all of the following: receives demand deposits and time deposits, honorsinstruments drawn on them,
and paysinterest on them, makes loans, and invests in securities; collects checks, drafts, and not; and
issues drafts and cashier's checks .”
The Banking Industry was once a simple and reliable business that took deposits from investors at a
lower interest rate and loaned it out to borrowers at a higher rate.
Through technology development, banking services have become available 24 hours a day, 365 days a
week, through ATMs, at online banking, and in electronically enabled exchanges where everything
from stocks to currency futures contracts can be traded.
Banking in India has a long and elaborate history of more than 200 years. The beginning of this
industry can be traced back to1786, when the country’s first bank, Bank of Bengal, was
established.But the industry changed rapidly and drastically, after the nationalization of banks
in 1969.
Industry estimates indicate that out of 274 commercial banks operating in the country, 223
banks are in the public sector and 51 are in the private sector . These private sector banks include
24 foreign banks that have begun their operations here. The specialized banking institutions that
include cooperatives, rural banks, etc. form a part of the nationalized banks category.
Banks in India can be categorized into non-scheduled banks and scheduled banks. Scheduled banksconstitute of commercial banks and co-operative banks. There are about 67,000 branches of Scheduled
banks spread across India. During the first phase of financial reforms, there was a nationalization of 14
major banks in 1969. This crucial step led to a shift from Class banking to Mass banking. Since then
the growth of the banking industry in India has been a continuous process.
As far as the present scenario is concerned the banking industry is in a transition phase. The Public
Sector Banks (PSBs), which are the foundation of the Indian Banking system account for more than 78
per cent of total banking industry assets. Unfortunately they are burdened with excessive Non
Performing assets (NPAs), massive manpower and Lack of adaptation and also due to lack of new
ideas of younger generation.
On the other hand the Private Sector Banks in India are witnessing immense progress. They are
leaders in Internet banking, mobile banking, phone banking, ATMs. On the other hand the Public
Sector Banks are still facing the problem of unhappy employees. There has been a decrease of 20
percent in the employee strength of the public sector in the wake of the Voluntary Retirement Schemes
(VRS). As far as foreign banks are concerned they are likely to succeed in India.
The transformation of the Indian banking sector
As you are aware, the financial sector reforms in the country were initiated in the beginning of the
1990s. The reforms have brought about a sea change in the profile of the banking sector. Our
implementation of the reforms process has had several unique features. Our financial sector reforms
were undertaken early in the reform cycle. Notably, the reforms process was not driven by any banking
crisis, nor was it the outcome of any external support package. Besides, the design of the reforms was
crafted through domestic expertise, taking on board the international experiences in this respect. The
reforms were carefully sequenced with respect to the instruments to be used and the objectives tobeachieved. Thus, prudential norms and supervisory strengthening were introduced early in the reform
cycle, followed by interest-rate deregulation and a gradual lowering of statutory pre-emptions. The
morecomplex aspects of legal and accounting measures were ushered in subsequently when the basic
tenets of the reforms were already in place.
The public sector banks continue to be a dominant part of the banking system. As on March 31, 2008,
the PSBs accounted for 69.9 per cent of the aggregate assets and 72.7 per cent of the aggregateadvances of the Scheduled commercial banking system. A unique feature of the reform of the public
sector bankswas the process of their financial restructuring. The banks were recapitalised by the
government to meet prudential norms through recapitalisation bonds. The mechanism of hiving off bad
loans to a separate government asset management company was not considered appropriate in view of
The subsequent divestment of equity and offer to private shareholders was undertaken through a public
offer and not by sale to strategic investors. Consequently, all the public sector banks, which issued
shares to private shareholders, have been listed on the exchanges and are subject to the same disclosure
and market discipline standards as other listed entities. To address the problem of distressed assets, a
mechanism has been developed to allow sale of these assets to Asset Reconstruction Companies whichoperate as independent commercial entities.
As regard the prudential regulatory framework for the banking system, we have come a long way from
the administered interest rate regime to deregulated interest rates, from the system of Health Codes for
an eight-fold, judgmental loan classification to the prudential asset classification based on objective
criteria, from the concept of simple statutory minimum capital and capital-deposit ratio to the risk-
sensitive capital adequacy norms – initially under Basel I framework and now under the Basel II
regime.
There is much greater focus now on improving the corporate governance set up through “fit and
proper” criteria, on encouraging integrated risk management systems in the banks and on promoting
market disciplinethrough more transparent disclosure standards. The policy endeavor has all along
been to benchmark our regulatory norms with the international best practices, of course, keeping in
view the domestic imperatives and the country context. The consultative approach of the RBI in
formulating the prudential regulations has been the hallmark of the current regulatory regime whichenables taking account of a wide diversity of views on the issues at hand.
The implementation of reforms has had an all round salutary impact on the financial health of the
banking system, as evidenced by the significant improvements in a number of prudential parameters.
Letme briefly highlight the improvements in a few salient financial indicators of the banking system.
The average capital adequacy ratio for the scheduled commercial banks, which was around two per
cent in 1997, had increased to 13.08 per cent as on March 31, 2008. The improvement in the
capitaladequacy ratio has come about despite significant growth in the aggregate asset of the banking
system.This level of capital ratio in the Indian banking system compares quite well with the banking
system inmany other countries – though the capital adequacy of some of the banks in the developed
countries hasremained under considerable strain in the recent past in the aftermath of the sub-prime
crisis.
In regard to the asset quality also, the gross NPAs of the scheduled commercial banks, whichwere as
high as 15.7 per cent at end-March 1997, declined significantly to 2.4 per cent as at end-March2008.The net NPAs of these banks during the same period declined from 8.1 per cent to 1.08 per cent.These
figures too compare favourably with the international trends and have been driven by theimprovements
in loan loss provisioning by the banks as also by the improved recovery climate enabled
by the legislative environment. What is noteworthy is that the NPA ratios have recorded
remarkableimprovements despite progressive tightening of the asset classification norms by the RBI
The Maharajah of Baroda, Sir SayajiraoGaekwad III, founded the bank on 20 July 1908 in the princely
state of Baroda, in Gujarat. The bank, along with 13 other major commercial banks of India, was
nationalised on 19 July 1969, by the government of India.
INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
In its international expansion, the Bank of Baroda followed the Indian diaspora, especially that of the
Gujaratis. It has significant international presence with a network of 72 offices in 25 countries, six
subsidiaries, and four representative offices.
Among the Bank of Baroda s 42 overseas branches are ones in the world s major financial centers
(e.g., New York, London, Dubai, Hong Kong (which it has upgraded recently), Brussels and
Singapore) , as well as a number in other countries. The bank is engaged in retail banking via 17
branches of subsidiaries in Botswana, Guyana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The Bank of Baroda
also has a joint-venture bank in Zambia with nine branches. The Bank of Baroda maintains
representative offices in Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Australia. It plans to upgrade its offices in
China and Malaysia shortly to a branch and joint-venture, respectively.
The Bank of Baroda has received permission or in principle approval from host country regulators to
open new offices in Trinidad and Tobago and Ghana, where it seeks to establish joint ventures or
subsidiaries. The bank has received Reserve Bank of India approval to open offices in The Maldives, and New Zealand. It is seeking approval for operations in Bahrain, South Africa, Kuwait,
Mozambique, and Qatar and is establishing offices in Canada, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Saudi
Arabia, and Russia. It also has plans to extend its existing operations in the United Kingdom, the
United Arab Emirates, and Botswana. The slogan of bank of baroda is "India's International Bank".

The core function of HRD in the banking industry is to facilitate performance improvement, measured
not only in terms of financial indicators of operational efficiency, but also in terms of the quality of
financial services provided. Factors like skills, attitudes and knowledge of the human capital play a
crucial role in determining the competitiveness of the financial sector. The quality of human resources
indicates the ability of banks to deliver value to customers. Capital and technology are replicable butnot the human capital which needs to be valued as a highly valuable resource for achieving that
competitive edge. The primary emphasis needs to be on integrating human resource management
strategies with the business strategy. HRM strategies include managing change, creating commitment,
achieving flexibility and improving teamwork.

Helen Keller Introduction
Every successful organization especially service oriented organizations like banks; thinks that people
are as valuable as their performance. The earlier concept of motivation “employee satisfaction” has
become less relevant now-a- days and new concept is emerging i.e. “engagement” is directly linked to
productivity.
Employee Engagement is about motivating the employees to do their best return to the institution/
organization. It is also called work engagement or worker engagement, is a business management
concept. An “engaged employee” is one who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her
work, and thus will act in a way that furthers their organizations interests/ goals.
Employees who are engaged experiences intellectual and emotional connectivity with the organization
and its value and fully share the vision and mission of the organization. .
Engagement is characterized by employee being committed to the organization, believing in what itstands for and being prepared to go above and beyond what is expected to them to deliver outstanding
service to customer. employee engagement is more psychological contract than a physical one. It is
some thing employee has to offer.
Engaged employee feel inspired by their work, they are customer focused in their approach, they care
about the future of the organization and are prepared to invest their own effort to see that the
organization succeed. In other words engaged employee thinks, feels and is proactive in relation toachieving organizational goals for customer, colleague and other stakeholders.
Engaged employees believe they can positively impact quality of their organization products,
positively affect their customer service, positively impact quality in their job or branch and feel strong
emotional bond to the organization that employees them.
Empirical studies demonstrated that engaged employees are more productive, more profitable, more
customer focused.
Engaged employees believing the perception that:-
They have the power to make decisions. Having sufficient knowledge and information to do the job effectively. Such high performance will get rewards for him/her self.
Definitions
According to DereckStockely
The extent that an employee believes in the mission, purpose and values of an organization and
demonstrates that commitment through their actions as an employee and their attitude towards
the employer and customers. Employee engagement is high when the statements and
conversations held reflect a natural enthusiasm for the company, its employees and the products
or services provided.
According to Schmidt et alAn engaged employee involvement with, commitment to, and satisfaction with work.
According to Robinson
Engaged employees care abut the future of the company/institution and are willing to invest the
discretionary effort and feel a strong emotional band to the organization that employs them.
According to work foundation
Engaged employee are emotional and intellectual commitment to their organization and its
success and experience a compelling purpose and meaning in their work and give of their
discrete effort to advance the organization objective.
Engagement can be defined as an employee s drive to use all their ingenuity and resources for
the benefit of the company/ institutions.
Origin of employee engagement
Engagement at work was conceptualized by William A. Kahn (1990) as the „harnessing of
organizational members selves to their work roles. In engagement, people employ and express
themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances. The second related
construct to engagement in organizational behavior is the notion of flow advanced by Csikszentmihalyi
(1975, 1990).
Csikzentmihalyi (1975) defines flow as the „holistic sensation that people feel when they act with totalinvolvement. Flow is the state in which there is little distinction between the self and environment.
When individuals are in Flow State little conscious control is necessary for their actions. It is the level
of commitment of and involvement an employee has towards their organizational and its values. An
engaged employee is aware of business context and works with colleague to improve performance
within the job for the benefit of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture
engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.
Engagement is most closely associated with the existing construction of job involvement (Brown 1996)
and flow (Csikszentmihalyi 1990). Job involvement is defined as “the degree to which the job situation
is central to the person and his or her identity (Lawler & Hall 1970). (Kanungo 1982) maintained that
job invol vement is a „Cognitive or belief state of Psychological identification . Job involvement is
thought to depend on both need saliency and the potential of a job to satisfy these needs. Thus, job
involvement results from a cognitive judgment about the needs satisfying abilities of the job. Finally
engagement may be thought as an antecedent to job involvement in that individuals who experience
deep engagement in their roles should come to identify with their jobs.
HR practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how employees feel about
the work experience and how he or she is treated in the organization. It has a lot to do with emotions
which are fundamentally related to drive bottom line success in a company. There will always be
people who never give their best efforts no matter how hard HR and line managers try to engage them
but for the most part employees want to commit to companies because doing so satisfies a powerful
and a basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant.
Studies by Consultants
Engaged employees care about the future of the company and are willing to invest the discretionary
effort.
Emotional attachment
Only 29% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs. These employees work with passion and
feel a profound connection to their company. People that are actively engaged help move the
organization forward. 88% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact quality of their organization's products, compared with only 38% of the disengaged. 72% of highly engaged
employees believe they can positively affect customer service versus 27% of the disengaged. 68% of
highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact costs in their job or unit, compared with
just 19% of the disengaged. Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that
employs them. This is associated with people demonstrating willingness to recommend the
organization to others and commit time and effort to help the organization succeed. It suggests that
people are motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g. personal growth, working to a common purpose, being
part of a larger process) rather than simply focusing on extrinsic factors (e.g. pay, reward) .s
Involvement
Eileen Appelbaum and her colleague studied 15 steel mills, 17 apparel manufacturers and 10 electronic
instrument and imaging equipment producers. Their purpose was to compare traditional production
systems with flexible high performance production systems involving teams, training and incentive pay
systems. In all three industries, the plants utilizing high involvement practices showed superior
performance. In addition, workers in the high involvement plants showed more positive attitudes
including trust, organizational commitment and intrinsic enjoyment of the work. The concept has
gained popularity as various studies have demonstrated links with productivity. It is often linked to thenotion of employee voice and empowerment.
Commitment
It has been routinely found that employee engagement
scores account for as much as half of the variance in customer satisfaction scores. This translates into
millions of dollars for companies if they can improve their scores. Studies have statistically
demonstrated that engaged employees are more productive, more profitable, more customer focused,
safer, and less likely to leave their employer. Employees with the highest level of commitmentp erform
20% better and are 87% less likely to leave the organization, which indicates that engagement is linked
to organizational performance. For example, at the beverage company of Molson Coors, it was found
that engaged employees were five times less likely than non engaged employees to have a safety
incident and seven times less likely to have a lost time safety incident. In fact, the average cost of a
safety incident for an engaged employee was $63, compared with an average of $392 for a non
engaged employee. Consequently, through strengthening employee engagement, the company saved$1,721,760 in safety costs in 2002. In addition, savings were found in salesperformance teams through
engagement. In 2005, for example, low engagement teams were seen falling behind engaged teams,
with a difference in performance-related costs of low versus high engagement teams totaling
Recent research has focused on developing a better understanding of how variables such as quality of
work relationships and values of the organization interact and their link to important work outcomes.
84% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact the quality of their organization's
products, compared with only 31 percent of the disengaged. From the perspective of the employee
outcomes range from strong commitment to the isolation of oneself from the organization. The studydone by the Gallup Management Journal has shown that only 29% of employees are actively engaged
in their jobs. Those engaged employees work with passion and feel a strong connection to their
company. About of the business units scoring above the median on employee engagement also
scored above the median on performance. Moreover, 54% of employees are not engaged meaning that
they go through each workday putting time but no passion into their work. Only about of companies
below the median on employee engagement scored above the median on performance.
Access to a reliable model enables organizations to conduct validation studies to establish therelationship of employee engagement to productivity/performance and other measures linked to
effectiveness. It is an important principle of industrial and organizational psychology (i.e. the
application of psychological theories, research methods, and intervention strategies involving
workplace issues) that validation studies should be anchored in reliable scales (i.e. organized and
related groups of items) and not simply focus on individual elements in isolation
As employee productivityi s clearly connected with employee engagement, creating an environment
that encourages employee engagement is considered to be essential in the effective management of
Thus, it is largely the organization s responsibility to create an environment and culture conducive to
this partnership, and a win-win equation.
Meaning of the term engagement
A clear view of the behavior demonstrated by the engaged employee thus obtained are:-
Belief in the organization. Desire to work to make things better. Understanding of business context and bigger picture. Respectful and helpful to colleague. Willingness to go the extra mile. Keeping up to date with development in the field.
Engagement has clear overlaps with more exhaustively researched concepts of commitment and
organizational citizenship behavior but there are also differences. In this, way organization must toengage the employees who in turn have a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employee.
Attracts more people like existing employees. Increase employees trust in the organization. Creates a sense of loyalty in the competitive environment. Lowers attrition rate. Increase productivity and improves morale. Provides a high energy working environment. Improves overall organizational effectiveness. Boosts business growth. Makes the employee effective brand ambassadors of the company
Employee engagement has become a hot topic in recent years. Despite this, there remains apaucity of
critical academic literature on the subject, and relatively little is known about how employee
engagement can be influenced by management. Although there is a great deal ofinterest in engagement,there is also a good deal of confusion. At present, there is noconsistency in definition, with engagement
having been operationalised and measured inmany disparate ways.
The review indicates that there are more employees whoare disengaged or not engaged than there are
engaged employees. Despite this, manyorganisations believe that engagement is a dominant source of
competitive advantage. Resultsfrom research organisations and corporate results have demonstrated
there may be a stronglink between engagement, employee performance and business outcomes. The
key drivers ofemployee engagement identified include communication, opportunities for employees to
feedtheir views upwards and thinking that their managers are committed to the organisation.
Whilst key drivers of engagement have been identified it is also clear that „one size does not
fit all .
The review also identifies gaps and issues that have not so far been investigated, making clearthe focus
of where further enquiry should be. It is apparent that there is a lack of researcharound the predictors of engagement and whether or not interventions, such as trainingmanagers on how to communicate
effectively, could help to increase engagement. There isalso a need for future research to concentrate
on individual differences and whether variablessuch as personality impact engagement.
The review aims to add value to the current state of knowledge by critically evaluating theexisting
literature on employee engagement and providing a reflective stance on existingdebates and findings.
As a result, it addresses concerns about the lack of agreement on whatengagement is and how issues
surrounding it can be addressed.
Moreover, engaged employees have been found to outperform their disengaged counterparts.
Employee engagementcan and has been found to make a difference. However there is great
disagreementsurrounding how to define engagement, how it should be operationalised and whether or
not itis actually a valid construct at all. Furthermore, it is evident that sound, academic researchlags
somewhat behind practice given that the literature is under developed, and the concept ofengagement is
still in its infancy.
The review addresses key questions in turn, as follows:
1. How has employee engagement been conceptualised?1.1 What is employee engagement?
1.2 How has it been defined?
1.3 How has it been operationalised?
1.4 What are the constituent elements of employee engagement?
1.6 What are the suggested antecedents and consequences of employee engagement?
2. How do individual differences relate to employee engagement?
2.1 How is employee engagement related to how work is perceived?
2.2 To what extent is engagement related to emotional experiences and wellbeing, andwhy?
2.3 How does engagement influence outcome variables?
3. How does employee involvement relate to employee engagement?
3.1 What kinds of voice mechanisms seem to offer employees a greater sense ofinvolvement?
3.2 What evidence is there of mutual decision-making and problem solving?
3.3 To what extent are management willing to share control with employees?
The models in the literature illustrate the factors that can affect engagement and howengagementimpacts on the wider performance of the organisation. However, what can be concluded is that the
primarydriving force behind engagement is the organisation, its view of engagement and how it acts
to create an environment conducive to engaging employees. Important areas in which theorganisation
can work to improve engagement include training and career development,effective management,
Research : -Reseach is a process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and summarizing in a significant
manner for the purpose of framing out necessary conclusion and findings of data perceived and
