1. Statement of the Problems
In this age of modern globalization the importance of banking is beyond description. Banking
sector is going ahead with the improvement of new technologically and innovation.
Introduction to modern technology has made banking sector user friendly and more
competitive. The banks of Bangladesh are not lagging behind in this regard. Banking is one
the most competitive industries of Bangladesh that has seen a huge amount of growth during
the last decade. A large number of new banks have made their places in the industry and yet
there are more to register in the list. In this modern era of business, banking activities have
spread out in many areas like merchant banking, share trading, giving lease and so on. This
report is a requirement of the internship program which is an important part of the BBA
degree requirement. As the supervisor has advised me to develop a thorough understanding of
the Manpower Planning of Grameen Bank this report will be prepared on those aspects of the
HR practices of Grameen Bank.

Manpower has to be wisely exploited for the steadfast growth of an economy. This is the
reason why there is Ministry Of Human Resources, the aim is to implement plans to utilize
the human resources available throughout the country for their growth and country’s
Development. This is given as much an importance as any other discipline as economics,
psychology, law and public administration, industrial relations, computer science and
operations research. All the disciplines stated above are themselves in a tremendous state of
flux. Manpower planning requires a keen study, this has necessitated the coming up of lot of
literature. New ways and means are suggested for optimum usage of manpower through
Economics, Operations Research and Mathematical Models. Research is going on in every
field for their growth and manpower planning does not lag behind. Manpower planning is
historically rooted in the gathering of manpower statistics dating from the times of the Roman
census to the accounting of slaves, and eventually to population census towards the end of the
eighteenth century Morton.

2. Objectives of the Study
The Broad objective are: A Study on Manpower Planning of Grameen Bank
Specific Objectives
1. Analyzing the current manpower inventory.
2. Making future manpower forecasts.
3. To analyze the functionalities of human resources department.
4. To evaluate the overall working environment of Grameen Bank
5. To put some suggestions & recommendations for the development and polishing of
the human resource department.
6. To get experience from the overall HRM of Grameen Bank.

3. Literature Review
Manpower has to be wisely exploited for the steadfast growth of an economy. This is the
reason why there is Ministry Of Human Resources, the aim is to implement plans to utilize
the human resources available throughout the country for their growth and country’s
Development. This is given as much an importance as any other discipline as economics,
psychology, law and public administration, industrial relations, computer science and
operations research. All the disciplines stated above are themselves in a tremendous state of
flux. Manpower planning requires a keen study, this has necessitated the coming up of lot of
literature. New ways and means are suggested for optimum usage of manpower through
Economics, Operations Research and Mathematical Models. Research is going on in every
field for their growth and manpower planning does not lag behind. Manpower planning is
historically rooted in the gathering of manpower statistics dating from the times of the Roman
census to the accounting of slaves, and eventually to population census towards the end of the
eighteenth century Morton.
Historically, origin of the models of manpower systems could be traced back to Seal.
However, simple models have been reported by Edwards to have been used by manpower
planners long before then. Mehlmann has developed an optimal recruitment and transition
strategies for manpower systems using dynamic programming recursion with the objective of
minimizing a quadratic penalty function which reflects the importance of correct manning of
each grade under preferred recruitment and transition patterns.

Lane and Andrew has developed a lognormal model in which the distribution of wastage was
related to length of services and proposed two methods of analysis. Cohort analysis, in which
the wastage characteristics of an initial homogeneous groups are observed over longer
periods of time; census analysis in which two sample points in time are used to determine the
wastage rates.
As alternative, approach to manpower planning is based on optimization theory, the
theoretical foundations of the optimization approach have been developed in Holt et al. Holt
developed a cost model that includes both the costs of maintaining and changing the work
force. Holt uses a quadratic cost model that allows closed form solution to be developed and
finds that optimal staffing levels are based on the weighted values of forecast demand.
A general description of the models and the methods for developing mathematical models for
manpower studies have been discussed in a broad way by Dill et al. In this paper the authors
have explored some results in manpower and the development of some simple stochastic
models to take note of such issues in manpower planning. Direct mathematical methods have
been used for structuring such models and the simulation methods have been used to a large
extent in such models.
Morton presents a concise historical summary of forecasting techniques starting from
demographers’ modified exponentials through to renewal theory, stochastic processes,
moving average ad exponential smoothing. In recent years there has been a swing away from
demographically based forecasts towards econometric and input / output models as well as
Monte Carlo simulation.
Moreover, recognition that long lead time in manpower development makes planning
particularly vulnerable to changes in policy variables. It has simulated research into
“teleological” or target – related forecasting in which the study of explicitly stated achievable
future goals are undertaken through futurist speculation or expert consensus in order to
restrict the range of the exogenous variables.

4. Rationale of the Study

This report is on the basis of the course requirement of BBA Program in the Department of
Business Administration of City University. Theoretical knowledge will be little important
unless it is applicable in practical aspects. As some practical experience is required after the
completion of BBA program from as part of course requirement. To observe & realize the
movement of Manpower Planning.

5 Scope of the Study
The report commences with the outline of the organization in focus, presenting the mission
and vision, individual department job responsibilities. For conducting this study an overall
knowledge of the total banking system will necessary because the departments banking are
linked with each other due to some partial proceeding. The scope of the organization part
covers the organization structure, background, objective, function and departmentalization.
The main part covers the operation scenario of a branch of Grameen Bank (GB). The report
required to go through the Manpower Palanning of Grameen Bank (GB).

6. Research Methods
Methodology of the study is an essential part of the study. It is designed in a way so that it
correspondent to achieve the objectives of the study. It includes designing samples, sources
of data, collection procedure of data, analysis techniques data, etc. It was an exploratory
study. So the methodology of this study the internship has used was observation and
sometimes discussion with the executives of the bank. Besides the internship have talked with
various clients of the bank. For more clarification the internship have discussed with top
management of the bank. Beside the internship, the internship has taken help from various
papers made by Garmeen Bank.
6.1 Selection of the Study Area
Every researcher has a Study area. My study Area is Tangail.
6.2 Determination of the Sample size

6.3 Sampling Technique
I have used convenient sampling method among the Grameen Bank.

6.4 Methods of Data Collection
