Conclusion

• HRD is working dynamically to pursue its organizational goals

• Project has given us the realistic view of how Human Resource practices are followed in any
organization

Recommendations

• Smoke, eat, drink, chew gum, whistle, hum or sing in the lobby or any public areas

• Stand in groups and casual conversation with co-workers

• Shout or talk in the public areas

• Allowing of personal friends to visit employees at the hotel

• Spit in any area

• Say anything negative about the hotel

• Entering in other departments, public areas, or guest floors

• PC should send its managers/employees to abroad for training purpose for it will ultimately
improve the organization’s overall performance

• Internees should be paid for their services

• More flexible benefits plans should be introduced for employee so they can choose which suit
them the best

• As PC doesn’t have any special program to bring the outside talent in, so they need to take this
area under consideration

• More incentive programs should be introduced to maintain employee motivation
