consultation with the Head of Group HR.
The manual should be used with the discretion to the extent

that some of the contents are confidential and should not be
disclosed to any one outside The Group.
The HR Manual supersedes all existing and previous

Administrative Instructions on the subject covered. It is the
authoritative guide for all HR affairs of the employees of The
Viyellatex Group.
Any changes in the manual will be published by the Head of

Group HR.
Human The Group recognises that the employees are an integral part
Resource of The Group being the most important resources in the
Policy organisation. Therefore, the employees, who serve in different

- availability of promotion opportunities in The
Group
- existence of good welfare facilities, and

and actions should ensure that all persons connected with our
operation and business, - be they customers or employees are
treated fairly and with due consideration for their feelings.
Our policy is to provide promotion opportunities to our

employees based on merit and fitness for the job. Wherever
possible preference should be given, to the employees in lower
grade to fill up vacancy in a higher grade, particularly when
such vacancies offer promotion or broader experience to
existing employees.
Compensatio With a view to retain and motivate our employees to achieve

n and the maximum efficiency and productivity, it is essential that the
Benefits terms and conditions of employment compare favourably with
other companies. To maintain that situation, salary/wages and
terms and conditions of employment are reviewed periodically
and are matched with market forces.
Training and Training and Development activities help new employees learn
Development how to perform their jobs and help existing employees improve
job performance and prepare for higher positions. The primary
purpose of training and development in The Group is to assist
its employees to improve their skills, knowledge and overall
abilities in order to enhance both their personal growth and

Training and Development
Effective Date:
Revision Date:
15.1 Training and Development is focused on helping employees

Policy perform better. The single objective of all Training and
Statement: Development activities is to develop human capital for
sustained performance improvement.
The performance management process enables Appraisers

to meet specific development objectives by:
 linking all Training and Development to performance

objectives
 prioritizing Training and Development events in terms of
business imperatives
 assessing the contribution made by Training &
Development
Training and Development Manager will be held accountable to

Head of HR for ensuring implementation and monitoring of all
the clauses of this policy throughout the Viyellatex Group.
Respective BU HR Manager will provide assistance in
implementation of this policy in the respective Business Units.
15.2 Superior Appraisee performance can provide a sustainable

Objectives: competitive advantage for the Company. Developing superior
performers requires an investment in time, energy and
(sometimes) money, by the Appraiser and the Appraisee. This
investment will be optimized if the following objectives are
addressed:
 preparation of an employee development plan (EDP)

 formulation of a team/departmental/functional training
plan
 organizing the development event
 preparing the Appraisee for the development activity
 active engagement by the Appraisee in the learning
activity
 application of the knowledge or skills learned
 performance review of the value added by the
development activity

The Company recognizes that the ongoing development of our
people and the existence of a skilled, flexible workforce is
critical to our success in an increasingly competitive global
economy. All Training and Development is targeted towards
continual performance improvement by the individual, the team
and the Company as a whole.
15.3 Training and Development includes the following

Developmental developmental activities:
Activities:
Informal
 Coaching is the day to day process of guidance and input
to the Appraisee to improve performance. This includes:
agreeing performance expected, giving specific constructive
feedback, supporting growth and learning, assisting
Appraisees to solve their own problems, providing
consequences, and constant communication on issues and
changes affecting the Appraisee.
 Mentoring is the process where experienced and
successful Appraisees are matched with newer or junior
Appraisees to provide useful job and career guidance and
support, advice on mistakes to avoid and skills to develop.
Formal
 Training consists of instructional experiences which
develop new skills and knowledge that can be applied
immediately upon or shortly after arrival or return to the job.
 Education refers to learning activities designed to improve
the capability of an Appraisee in a specific direction beyond
the current job / responsibility.
15.4 Accountable line Appraisers ensure:

Principles
 opportunity and support are provided for the agreed
development activities
 the Appraisee accepts primary responsibility for
achievement of the mutually agreed learning outcomes
 the Appraisee is provided with appropriate time and
attention to implement what has been learned
 development needs and actions are formally reviewed in the
performance appraisal
 development needs and actions are formally recorded in the
Appraisee’s Performance Management File
 development needs and actions are informally reviewed
throughout the year (part of the informal performance
management process)

 all learning outcomes are aimed at increasing the
Appraisee’s capability to deliver agreed MOs and KPIs, and
in preparation for anticipated future job roles
 development is a process not an event
15.5 The Training and Development Framework

Training and
Development Formal Training and Development can be categorized by four
Process types or ‘bands’ of development activities: Induction, Core,
Generic and Tertiary. Technical training is a fifth aspect, and
can take place in any of the four bands.

the Management by an internal or qualification e.g.

etc.
Technical Training
Those activities and courses that primarily develop task-related job

skills, generally tailored to Company requirements; e.g. all shop-floor
competency based training, driver training and computer software skill
training.
Technical training includes all equipment, process and technology based

skills and knowledge training conducted in accordance with any local
technical standards.
The Development Process
Employee development follows a three-step process:
 Step One: The development need is identified, and actions

to address it are agreed.
 Step Two: The Appraisee undergoes the development
event.
 Step Three: The learning is applied on the job and is
evaluated by the Appraiser.
15.1 Step 1: Identify the training need and agree actions to

Step One address it
The basic question to ask is:

“What skills, knowledge or competencies must the Appraisee
learn in order that s/he can perform this job to standard?”
Training needs identification (TNI) means:

1. Defining the required performance standards (MOs and
KPIs)
2. Establishing the skills, qualifications, knowledge and
behavioral competencies required to perform at this level
3. Assessing the Appraisee’s current skills, qualifications,
knowledge, and behavioral competencies against those
required to perform to standard
4. Describing the gap
5. Articulating the development needs (using the EDP)
Diagnosis of the individual’s performance gaps is the primary

means of identifying training needs. Company standards and
business imperatives as well as legislative requirements may
also need to be considered.
Once the needs have been agreed between Appraiser and

Appraisee, the means of meeting these needs should be
discussed.
Options may include:
 observation of others
 coaching or counseling by the Appraiser or another
Appraisee or mentor
 project or special assignment
 secondment
 more experience in the role
 private study
 formal training
- on-the-job
- on-site training centre
- off-site training
Where a formal training activity is deemed to be the most

appropriate means of development, the appropriate training
program should be sourced from inside or outside the
Company through the HR Department.
The Employee Development Plan (EDP) can now be

prepared. This documents the development needs and the
actions to be taken. The Learning Index notes the source of
each training program.

Once the EDP has been confirmed in terms of the functional
training plan, arrangements can be made for the development
event to take place.
EDPs will be completed in respect of all the appraisees and

forwarded to T&D Manager by the Appraisers, for arranging the
program internally or externally.
15.5.2 Step 2: The learning event

Step Two
Prior to attendance at any training / education activity, the
immediate Appraiser and the potential Appraisee should
discuss how the learning will be transferred to the job. The
outcome of the discussion is a plan that addresses how the
development effort will result in significantly new or improved
behaviour on the job. This is about return on investment and
helps ensure knowledge or skills acquired are actually
employed in the manner intended.
Please consider:
 How the Appraisee’s workload will be handled so that s/he
may attend training with a clear mind, and without being
penalized by returning to an overload situation.
 Who else needs to know that the Appraisee is on a training
program?
 Visibly supporting the learning by ‘popping in’ to the training
room where possible
When the Appraisee returns from the training program it is

good management practice to discuss the Appraisee’s
experience of the training event, and to re-affirm the agreed
transfer of learning activity.
15.5.3 Step 3: Transfer of learning to the job

Step Three
Transfer of training is about the ability to apply to the job the
knowledge/skills/behaviors that have been learned in the
development event. The quality of the transfer process will
directly affect the return on investment from the training. Even
where the Appraisee has successfully demonstrated new
skill/knowledge/competence at a training / development event,
this does not ensure that the new skill/knowledge/competence
will be brought back to the work place.
After training, implement the Transfer of Learning plan.

Consider each of the following:
 Were the learning objectives achieved?
 Is any additional coaching required?

 Is any psychological / emotional support required?
 Does the Appraisee have opportunity to practice the
learning?
 Does the Appraisee participate in transfer related
decisions?
 Can/should immediate job pressures be reduced?
 Are there any other barriers limiting the transfer of
learning?
 Revisit the ‘reality check’ that was part of the “Transfer
of Learning” discussion. The Appraiser’s challenge is to
demonstrate credibly and consistently that you want the
Appraisee to change to the new ways of thinking and
behaving
 Give positive reinforcement of every demonstration of
the new learning
 Provide a role model
 Allow time for post training assignment completion
 Encourage ongoing contact with other trainees.
15.6 1. Manager, Training and Development will prepare and

Training update Training Calendar within 1 month after closing the
Calendar annual appraisal process after having obtained all the EDPs
from all the Business Units and also inputs from Succession
and OMR Process (Succession and OMR Policy). He/she
will prepare the training and development budget based on
the calendar and get the same approved by the Head of
HR.
2. He/she will arrange the training as well as internal and

external resources as available and as per the requirement
of the training calendar.
3. A monthly report will be prepared by him showing the

training and development events of the month along with
the participants’ evaluation reports of all the training held.
15.7 Training and Development is an integral element of the

Links to Other performance management process. The training needs
HR Processes identification (TNI) is based on gaps in the Appraisee’s
capability to do a particular job to the desired standard now or
in the future. The value of any development experienced by
the Appraisee should be seen in the performance of the
Appraisee on the job, and this is formally assessed at the time
of the performance appraisal.
Training and Development can also prepare the Appraisee for

future roles. In this sense, succession planning (Policy on
Succession Planning and Organizational Review) is a longer-
term application of the principles of training and development.
The Individual Development Plan records both immediate and
longer-term development needs, and is used for Training and
Development as well as career planning purposes.
15.8 Training and Development involves a partnership.

Paper Works Documenting development needs, agreed actions and any
formal evaluation of the learning is good practice. This
ensures there is no uncertainty in the minds of the various
partners. It is also a standard for good performance
management. All Training and Development paperwork should
be kept in the performance management file.

Compensation and Benefits
Effective Date:
Revision Date:
18.1 To provide a competitive compensation and benefits structure

Policy which aims to attract and retain the right caliber people as well
Statement: as encourage and recognize superior performance in the
achievement of our business objectives and personal
performance while maintaining both internal and external
equity.
18.2 1. The salary structure as attached (Annexure 1) for

Salary management staff covering M1B to M12.
Structure –
Management a. Salary Structure A is for Business Units having
Staff: yearly sales turnover more than Tk. 50 crore.
b. Salary Structure B is for Business Units having
yearly sales turnover less than Tk. 50 crore.
2. The benefit structure for management staff covering M1B to

M12 are in Annexure 3.
18.3 The performance of the Viyellatex Group results from the

Basis: performance of its employees in driving the business forward
with renewed vigour.
1. Compensation Survey: The management of Viyellatex

feels that to attract and retain the right calibre people
Viyellatex needs to carry out a compensation survey. A
compensation survey result has been obtained that has
been carried out among comparators representing the
comparative sectors taken into consideration the attrition to
whom Viyellatex would lose the staff as well as from what
type of organizations they would be attracted (or competed
with).
2. Job Evaluation: While the current structure has been

based on the existing job grades, from time to time
Viyellatex will determine an effective and universally
accepted and tested method for job evaluation and carry out
the same. The result of job evaluation will be used for
readjusting the job grades.
3. Basic Salary: Basic salary has been anchored at the

median (50th percentile) keeping within the range of 50 th to
60th percentile of the surveyed comparators at the gross
salary levels of the bench marked positions. In each grade
there is band of SL, MM, and FLM. Between the FLM and
MM grades within the band (M1B-M9) there is a differential
of 15% and from FLM to MM grade there is a differential of
20%. Between the SL grades within the band there is a
differential of 15% and from MM to SL grade there is a
differential of 25%. However, to protect the existing
individual basic salary of the staff this differential could not
be maintained at all the grades. However, from 2010 this
would be corrected and aligned gradually.
4. House Rent: To take full advantage of the current income

tax laws of the country, House Rent has been kept as 50%
of the basic held individually.
5. Conveyance Allowance and Personal Allowances : are

kept flat keeping in view the philosophy that these are two
areas which should be kept the same for all the individuals
in that particular grade in commensurate to the standard of
living as well as quality of life as expected to be led in that
grade.
6. Minimum: In each grade’s basic, minimum has been fixed

at 80% of the Median of the surveyed comparators. This
philosophy will continue in future whenever there will be
salary survey to be done among the comparators to adjust
to the job markets.
7. Open-ended system: There will be no cap for the

maximum as the basic will remain open ended.
8. Rounding up: In each grade the fractions have been

rounded up for making the same easier to understand.
18.4 1. New entrant: In each salary grade there is open ended

Salary Fixation range from the minimum basic. Depending on the initial
offer and previous progression, the basic can be fixed at
any point within this range of basic in that particular grade
along with the corresponding allowances.
2. Yearly Salary Increase: Every year management should

decide as to what % increase should be given on
performance ratings of 2, 3, 4 and 5 depending on following

three factors:
a. Company’s profitability
b. Job market situation, and
c. Prevailing CPI (Consumer Price Index) in the
country
Then the new basic of an individual to be fixed having given
the % increase decided for that year based on his/her
achieved performance ratings. Accordingly the
corresponding allowances will be calculated based on the
increased basic.
3. Promotion/Up-gradation: On promotion or up-gradation

the new basic should be calculated at 2.5% more than the
% increase decided for rating 4 in that particular year. Then
the new basic to be fixed at that point (after given the %
increase) within the range of basic of that particular grade
(new job grade after promotion) along with the
corresponding allowances.
4. Linkage with the Incentive Scheme Plan (ISP) : The total

yearly salary increase should be calculated at an increase
in the sum total of both gross salary and ISP payment to be
received. At this moment the ratio between gross salary and
ISP payment is on an average ratio of 90:10. ISP part
should eventually increase more over the years.
18.5 Up-gradation within the band will be done on the following

Up-gradation basis:
 Years of service in that grade should be minimum 3
years. However, for exceptionally high performers this
would be relaxed.
 Yearly performance ratings should be minimum 3 in last
three performance assessments
 Any record of misconduct during the last three years will
be taken as disqualification for the up-gradation.
18.6 Promotion will depend on the following factors irrespective of

Promotion service length in a particular grade and or performance:
 Business requirement
 Vacancy for the position
 Succession Planning
 EDP
 Yearly performance ratings should be minimum 3 in last
three performance assessments
 Assessment of the qualifications, competencies, skill
and abilities needed as the prerequisites against the

position.
18.7 Unless there is a pressing need for doing otherwise, there will
Compensation be compensation survey carried out in every three years to
Survey adjust to the job market for maintaining competitiveness and
external equity. Based on the survey results among the
comparators, the salary and benefits structure will be adjusted.

Effective
Date:
Revision
Date:
20.1 Incentive Scheme Plan (ISP) has been introduced by The Viyellatex
Policy Group to provide a competitive management reward programme
Statement: which aims to encourage and recognise superior performance in the
achievement of Viyellatex’s business objectives and personal
performance.
20.2 The performance of the Viyellatex Group results from the

Scheme performance of its employees. A combination of superior business
Introduction: and personal performance will also mean improved value for
shareholders.
In driving the business forward with renewed vigour, even more can
be achieved if the employees look for as many opportunities as
possible to demonstrate our commitment to Viyellatex’s work values.
20.3 1. The total award receivable is made up of two distinct elements:

Operation of
the Scheme:  Business Performance: How well the business and
functions perform against their financial and functional
objectives;
And
 Personal Performance: How well the employee performs

against his/her agreed personal objectives
Superior Superior Superior

Business + Personal = Total Award
Performance Performance
2. Ratings: The ratings will be done on a 0 to 5 point scale with 0

being the lowest and 5 the highest. The ratings and award
percentages for financial and personal performance will be
determined separately and the result will be added together to
calculate the total reward. Financial and personal performance will
be weighted equally in the award calculation.
3. Timing: Performance will be reviewed and award payments will

be made annually in July. However, depending on the progress of
the implementation of the scheme, the interval of payment will be
made half yearly and eventually on quarterly basis.
4. Payment quantum: Payments under this scheme are calculated

as a percentage of ‘24 basic salary’ as mentioned in the Matrix.
