EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The project is based on “THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING GIVEN TO

EMPLOYEES OF SGRH”. As we know workforce is one the important element of an

organisation. Each and every organisation wants to have a competitive, dynamic and

participative workforce in their organisation. As human resource department is one

the major department in an organisation. This department is engaged in making plans

to access the need for the workforce and further hiring, recruiting and selecting the

most suitable candidate among a large pool of talent.

The main objectives of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of training

program given at Sir Ganga Ram hospital, to study the training methods used by them

and to suggest some measures for improving the effectiveness of the training.

The scope of this study was limited with finding the effectiveness of training provided

by Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to the employees. The functional area used here was

Human Resource Department and the study was carried out for 47 days.

Questionnaire method was used for data collection and a copy of the questionnaire is

attached as annexure in appendices.

Some of the limitation that the researcher found out was the communication problem

faced by the workers and class IV employees and lack of interest shown by employees

towards attending training session. Lack of time and motivation factors was also a

limiting factor that affected training sessions.

The reason for this was found out to be the dissatisfaction of employees due to

various reasons. They need to be motivated with non monetary rewards like extra

leaves, quarterly celebrations and other such benefits and should also focus on

improving efficiency and save time and for better coordination among hospital staff.

CHAPTER 2
SWOT ANALYSIS OF SIR GANGA RAM
HOSPITAL
2.1 SWOT

A SWOT analysis is a strategic evaluation framework used to look at a company.

SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The first step of a

SWOT analysis is to evaluate the positive and negative aspects of the company. Once

the strengths and weaknesses have been determined, the company can look beyond its

own organization to evaluate opportunities and threats from the market or

competitors. The preceding pages will explain the strategic evaluation, which SGRM

is following and trying to establish a new horizon in the field of health care by

overcoming their weakness and threats.

To understand better the following model has been used to study the the competitive

strategies of SGRH.

2.2 PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL

Competition depends on the competitive strategy of any industry. To create a

profitable competitive strategy, a firm must examine the basic competitive structure of

its industry because the potential profitability of a firm is heavily influenced by the

profitability of its industry. After determining the competitive structure one has to

examine the factors that determine the relative competitive position of a firm within

its industry. These factors can be described by the Porter’s five forces model. Porter

suggests that five competitive forces determine the intensity of competition and that

the relative effect of each of these five factors can vary dramatically among

20
industry. Porter’s famous Five Forces of Competitive Position model provides a

simple perspective for assessing and analysing the competitive strength and position

of a corporation or business organization.

2.21 PORTER’S FIVE MODEL ANALYSIS OF SGRH

New Market Entrants, Eg:

 Barriers geographical factors


 Incumbents resistance
 New entrant strategy

Suppliers Power, Eg: Competitive Rivalry, Eg: Buyer Power, Eg:

 Brand Reputation  Number and size of firms  Buyers choice


 Geographical Cover  Industry size and trends  Buyers size and
 Product/ Service level  Product/service range Number
quality  Differentiation, strategy  Change
cost/frequency
 Product/ Service
Product and Technology Development, Eg:

 Alternatives price/quality
 Market distribution changes
 New Trends

Figure 2.1: Porter’s Five Forces Model for SGRH

a) New Market Entrants

On analysing Porter's five force model for SGRH, it is found that the threat of new

entry is quite high in this field. If new players feel that the existing players are making

sustained profit, new competitors may enter this industry and thereby reduce profits of

existing players. Some of the best example is that of B.L. Kapur Hospital, Max, and

Apollo. All these hospitals came into picture when they felt that SGRH was making

21
sustained profit in this field. And this somehow affected the profit generation and

position of SGRH.

b) Buyer's Power

It is found that the competition is high in this field, and hence the buyers have wide

range of options. They may quickly switch from one hospital to other depending on

their need and convenience. If they are getting same treatment from another hospital at

less expense, then they will readily switch to it. Hence we can say that buyer's power is

strong, again implying strong downward pressure on prices.

c) Product and Technology development

Analysis showed that there exist some threats of substitution due to technological

developments. People have realised the effectiveness of natural care products. Best

example can be of Telemedicine shifting to ayurvedic medicines or natural care. As

buyers are now aware of the side effects of tablets and medicines, more and more are

preferring ayurvedic treatments.

d) Suppliers Power

Here the suppliers are the manufacturers or companies who provide sophisticated

medical equipments for the hospital. They have a very good bargaining power

because of the prevailing competitive environment. Suppliers provide high quality

equipments to that hospital that maintains a good relation and also pays them well. At

times this may result in great loss for organization.

e) Competitive Rivalry

On analysing, it is found that competitive rivalry is extremely high. If any player

raises prices, they will quickly be undercut because the competition is very high.

Intense competition puts strong downward pressure on prices. Every organization


22
should be aware of the strategy followed by its competitors so that they can also

survive in this competitive market. For Eg. B.L. Kapur Hospital is situated near to

SGRH, and hence the facilities available at both these hospitals are almost similar.

2.22 Analysis

Porter's Five Forces Analysis is an important tool for assessing the potential for

profitability in an industry. With a little adaptation, it is also useful as a way of

assessing the balance of power in more general situations. It works by looking at the

strength of five important forces that affect competition. By thinking through how

each force affect us, and by identifying the strength and direction of each force, we

can quickly assess the strength of the position and your ability to make a sustained

profit in the industry.

2.23 SGRH’S SWOT ANALYSIS

Helpful to achieve the objectives Harmful to achieve the objectives

Strength Weakness
  Aged employees

Loyal Employees
 Modern Facilities  Tenure nature of job
 Free Medical Facilities For  High Training Cost Due

Table 2.1: SWOT Analysis of SGRH

a) Strengths

Voted as one of the topmost hospitals in the country, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital has

over 50 years of experience in providing expert super speciality healthcare service

delivery to the population of Delhi and other states, and also to those coming from the

neighbouring countries.

Some of the strengths are as discussed below:

a) Loyal Employees

i) SGRH maintain strong, enduring relationships with doctors and medical

professionals. This has attracted medical professionals returning from

abroad to work with them.

ii) Many employees of SGRH are working there for more than 30 years.

They stick to the organization and hence are the goodwill ambassadors for

the organization.

b) Modern Facilities

i) High-quality medical facilities and services are offered at cost competitive

rates when compared to the Western and European regions making India

24
the preferred choice for medical travel. SGRH have consistently invested

in medical technology and equipment so as to offer the highest quality

healthcare services to their patients.

ii) The availability of sophisticated medical equipment, such as the PET-CT

scan, 320 Slice CT Scanner, Cyber knife ensures that SGRH are among the

few healthcare providers in India capable of offering advanced healthcare

procedures such as stereo tactic radio surgery.

c) Free Medical Facilities For Self and Family

i) SGRH provide free medical facilities for self and family to all the

employees who are part of SGRH for more than 2 years. This in turn

supports the employees and hence they are happy in serving the

organization.

b) Weakness

Some of the weaknesses that SGRH faces are as follows:

i) Due to infrastructural limitations and increasing patient flow, providing beds

to all those who need is a challenge. So for this the Hospital is joining hands

with existing nearby hospitals.

ii) As this is an old organization and their staff is quite old too, 25-30 per cent of

total are almost 20-25 years old employees. With the advent of technology and

IT it’s a challenge for management to make their staff techno savvy so that

they can be more beneficial to the organization.

25
iii) Due to tenure nature of job, employees at the hospital feel little dissatisfied

and look for new job opportunity and this cause’s high attrition rate.

c) Opportunity

SGRH looks to be a leader in quality healthcare delivery, medical education, training

and research and to meet the changing expectations of the community. Some of the

opportunities SGRH is exploring as follows:

a. International Growth

Many foreign students are doing their internship from SGRH which helps in

spreading the name of SGRH across the world. SGRH is not promoting any

advertisement but still the number of foreigners coming for treatment and internship is

increasing each year, which clearly depicts the goodwill of the hospital. This will help

in growing internationally.

b. National growth

With global revenues of approximately US$ 2.8 trillion, the healthcare industry is the

world's largest industry and India is emerging as a major player in this industry,

because of its high population. As per the Insurance Regulatory and Development

Authority, the Indian healthcare industry has the potential to show the same

exponential growth that the software and pharmaceutical industries have shown in the

past decade.

26
c. SGRH is not promoting any advertisement but still the number of foreigners

coming for treatment and internship is increasing each year which clearly depicts

the goodwill of the hospital. This will help in growing internationally.

All this is been done to enhance their services and become a leading hospital of

India.

d) Threats

i) With more competitors coming up in the healthcare industry, quality at an

affordable price is always a challenge. To deal with it, they have opened a

quality cell which works for continuous quality assurance at an affordable

price.

ii) Due to infrastructural limitations and increasing patient flow, providing beds

to all those who need is always a challenge. So for this the Hospital is joining

hands with existing nearby hospitals.

2.3 USP OF THE HOSPITAL

2.31 Team Spirit: The foremost reason for its success is the hospital faculty, which is

constituted of some of the most competent, leading and globally recognised

consultants. Most of the consultants are decorated and facilitated with prestigious

civilian and numerous national and international awards. The board of management

with a strong team of over twenty five senior consultants headed by Chairman Dr BK

Rao, Padma Bhushan Awardee, incorporates a unique model of management forms

the core strength of the hospital.

27
2.32 Partners in Progress: SGRH is probably the only hospital in the private sector,

where the consultants plough back a substantial share of their earnings into the

hospital to contribute extensively towards the development of the hospital.

2.33 Social Responsibility: Following the ideology of the founder, Sir Ganga Ram,

the hospital spends extensively on its charitable healthcare delivery programme. Over

2.5 lakh out- patients are examined in the general OPDs annually, while there are over

100 dedicated free beds for economically weaker section of the society. A strong

community outreach programme is in place for conducting regular free health check

up camps in and around Delhi where free consultation and medicines are dispensed.

The Ladies Welfare Society, an integral part of the programme, is dedicated to

provide social assistance by establishing and running vocational centres in

resettlement colonies and to motivate deserving students by generating and providing

appropriate assistance. As a part of its rural initiatives, hospital has set up medical

kiosks in remote villages in Haryana, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh and

established tele links so as to provide healthcare facilities at cheapest and fastest way

to the rural sector.

2.34 Quality Healthcare: Synonymous with patient care par excellence, Sir Ganga

Ram Hospital is perhaps the only hospital in India which has accreditations /

certification for five prestigious standards, viz. ISO 9001:2000, ISO:14001:2004,

OHSAS:18001:1999, ISO:15189:2007: NABL and NABH. The hospital firmly

believes that quality is most important and accreditations are evidences that quality

mechanisms are in place in the hospital and that the hospital meets the requirements

of the respective standards.

2.35 Infrastructure: The Operation theatres and Intensive Care Units of the hospital

is well equipped with best and the latest machines and equipment to give full tertiary
28
care support to all patients. The hospital offers ultra tech diagnostic facilities on PET

scan, 3T MRI and Digital X ray Units.

2.36 Ideal Location: Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is located in the heart of the capital

approachable from railway, metro stations and airport. Thus, its central location

makes it easily accessible to its customers. The hospital has also been able to attract a

large number of patients from the northern part of the country as well.

2.4 VARIATIONS FROM THEORETICAL CONCEPTS

As such there was not much variation from the theoretical concepts. They have tried

to maintain the standard of the day to day activities by strictly following the set

procedures and policies. Every department has maintained a proper file which

explains the activities of that department. So anyone joining the organization can go

through it to get a clear picture. But we know that 100% similarity cannot be found

between theory and practical scenario. There are few minor variations but it does not

affect the working of the organization as such.

3.6 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

3.61 Effectiveness of Training

Training and development refers to the practice of providing training, workshops,

coaching, mentoring, or other learning opportunities to employees to inspire,

challenge, and motivate them to perform the functions of their position to the best of

their ability and within standards set by concerned organization

Any training programme in order to be effective must have some precise goals and

objectives:

a) To enlighten the partakers more about their organization, its aspirations,

challenges and the business background in which it operates.

b) To make the human resources cognizant of the functions of different sections.

c) To train them to be aware of the significance of communication and

enthusiasm in their day to day work as a tool for better organizational climate

and morale.

d) To see that once they go back after attending training, they feel that they

belong to the organization.

e) To ensure that the participants would share their information gained from

training with their co-workers.

f)   To develop friendship, fellowship, support and trusteeship among trainees.

g) To ensure that technical, managerial, supervisory and human competencies are

built up in the employees on a continuous basis to enable them to perform

46
their current assignments effectively and also to set up them to execute their

future tasks.

h) To put forward the attitude based training to ensure that a value based and self

sustained culture is built in the organization.

i) To offer the required training inputs to all employees in a need based,

organized and lucrative manner.

 3.62 Benefits of Training

Despite the initial monetary costs, staff training pays back your investment. Here are

just some of the reasons to take on development initiatives:

i) Training helps your business run better. Trained employees will be better

equipped to handle customer inquiries, make a sale or use computer systems.

ii) Training is a recruiting tool. Today's young workers want more than a

paycheque. They are geared toward seeking employment that allows them to

learn new skills. You are more likely to attract and keep good employees if

you can offer development opportunities.  

iii) Training promotes job satisfaction. Nurturing employees to develop more

rounded skill sets will help them contribute to the company. The more

engaged and involved they are in working for your success, the better your

rewards.

iv) Training is a retention tool, instilling loyalty and commitment from good

workers. Staff looking for the next challenge will be more likely to stay if you

offer ways for them to learn and grow while at your company. Don't give them

47
a reason to move on by letting them stagnate once they've mastered initial

tasks.

v) Training adds flexibility and efficiency. You can cross-train employees to be

capable in more than one aspect of the business. Teach them to be competent

in sales, customer service, administration and operations. This will help keep

them interested and will be enormously helpful to you when setting schedules

or filling in for absences. Cross-training also fosters team spirit, as employees

appreciate the challenges faced by co-workers.

vi) Training is essential for knowledge transfer. It's very important to share

knowledge among your staff. If only one person has special skills, you'll have

a tough time recouping their knowledge if they suddenly leave the company.

Spread knowledge around — it's like diversifying your investments.

vii) Training gives seasonal workers a reason to return. Let seasonal employees

know there are more ways than one to contribute. Instead of hiring someone

new, offer them a chance to learn new skills and benefit from their

experience. 

Learning and upgrading employee skills makes business sense. It starts from day one,

and becomes successive as your employees grow. Granted, it may take some time to

see a return on your investment, but the long-term gains associated with employee

training make a difference. The short-term expense of a training program ensures you

keep qualified and productive workers who will help your company succeed. That’s

an investment you can take to the bank.

Being a trustee hospital SGRH was not much involved in marketing. But as the

competition increased and many nearby hospitals started growing and invest highly in

marketing, SGRH realized the need of marketing section. Marketing department was

introduced in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the year 2004. The main motive was to

retain the old customers and also to gain new customers. Some of the main functions

of marketing department at SGRH include the following:

3.81 Customer Retention and maintaining customer relation

i) It is really important to retain the customers as they will add to the goodwill of

the organization. Marketing people takes care of every simple aspect. From

the time the patient enters the hospital till they are discharged, they have the

complete detail of the patient. At any time if the patient faces a problem

regarding space or services, they may contact any one from marketing

department and their problem will be solved as soon as possible. This will

encourage the patients to visit again in case of any problem and also refer the

hospital to other people.

3.82 Increase Customers of Upper Class

i) SGRH is a trustee run hospital. 20% of the beds are for people below poverty

line, but 33% of beds are mainly focusing for high class people and foreigners

which is a source of income.

3.83 Increasing the number of corporate tie ups

i). Marketing people make sure that they have maximum number of corporate

tie up’s with leading industries. In order to attain that, they personally visit

53
such companies and explain the procedure and policies. Currently SGRH have

tie up’s with more than 150 companies.

3.84 Event Management

i) Whenever a camp or event is conducted by SGRM, marketing department takes

the responsibility of conducting it.

3.85 Medical Tourism

i). Medical tourism means getting a chance to visit a place along with getting

medical treatment from that place. Marketing department tries to make tie up’s

with foreign country hospitals so as to increase the number of foreign patients

visiting the hospital.

3.86 Advertisement

i). SGRH does not believe in immense advertisements but they do put up their ads

in doctor’s magazine which is published by Delhi Medical Association. Since

only doctors are reading it, strict medical terms are used. Central page of the

booklet is fixed for SGRH, wherein every week different departments and their

specialization is advertised.

3.87 Conducting Press Meet

i). If the hospital have successfully completed any noteworthy special surgery,

media officer who is a part of marketing department make sure that a press

meet is held wherein all the health reporters of leading newspapers are invited

for a meeting. In that the doctors who participated in the surgery explains the

54
risk and noteworthy achievements with the help of slideshows and presentation.

This indeed will improve the position of hospital.

3.89 Alumni

i). SGRH has its own nursing school, so marketing department has taken the

responsibility for conducting the alumni for them along with the nursing school

people.

3.90 Brochures and Journals

i). Large number of journals and a hospital brochure is kept at each section of the

hospital, so that the people may get it without any difficulty. Since it is kept at

the reach of common people, it is necessary to maintain the up to date

information in those reading materials. This is taken care by marketing

department. They review the material every week and make sure that the

contents are accurate and up-to-date.

CHAPTER-4
FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
4.1 Functional Analysis

It is an approach to conduct an internal company analysis or a "strategic" business

analysis. It means to examine the characteristics of the functional units of the business

like marketing, human resource, billing or IT department. This focused analysis

identifies positive, neutral and negative characteristic of each functional unit. The

positive characteristics may be strengths of the business. A functional analysis is also

an analysis of business activity to establish a hierarchy of business functions,

activities and transactions.

4.2 Introduction

Sir Ganga Ram Hospital is a 675-bed multi-speciality state-of-the-art Hospital in

India. It provides comprehensive Healthcare India services, and has acquired the

status of a premier medical institution. It is the only hospital in the private sector that

has maintained nearly 100% bed occupancy due to its reputation of providing the

highest level of medical services to patients from Delhi and neighbouring states. Sir

Ganga Ram Hospital in India continues to maintain its charitable character in

accordance with to the wishes of its founder. Funds generated from the hospital

services are partially utilised for providing free health care to the poor and needy

patients. All development activities of the hospital are financed from internal

resources. The hospital is governed by a Board of Management comprising medical

consultants of eminence, some with an international standing. The three functional

areas named human resource management, marketing management, billing

department is further analysed.

92
4.3 Marketing Management

Being a trustee hospital SGRH was not much involved in marketing. But as the

competition increased and many nearby hospitals started growing and invest highly in

marketing, SGRH realized the need of marketing section. Marketing department was

introduced in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in the year 2004.

On analysing this department, it was found that the main motive was to retain the old

customers and also to gain new customers. It is really important to retain the

customers as they will add to the goodwill of the organization. Marketing people takes

care of every simple aspect Apart from this it also includes functions like Increasing

Customers of Upper Class, Increasing the number of corporate tie ups, Event

Management, Medical Tourism, Advertisement, Conducting Press Meet etc.

4.4 Human Resource Department

HRD at SGRH has been created to bring focus to the whole area of optimizing human

potential in the organization. The vision of HR department is to play a vital role in

achieving organizational goals by human best HR practices and building up human

capital relation. The fundamental role of HR is to coordinate Recruitment and

Selection, Performance Management (including performance appraisal and

assessment), collate employee training data, induction training and deputation of

employees for external training and undertake all matters of personal administration

such as attendance, leave, loans and advances etc.

SGRH strives to be the best employer by having the best of HR practices in place to

attract and retain quality manpower. HR at SGRH believes in a transparent

93
coordinated approach which leads to employee confidence. They believe that only a

satisfied employee will create satisfaction in their patient community.

4.5 Billing Department

SGRH is spending almost Rs.18 to 20 crores every year for charitable work, have

20% beds totally free of charges and in addition provides free medicines, food and

investigations. 47% beds which are semi-paying category and the hospital is

subsidized the treatment of the patients in this category. It is only 33% of the beds

which are covered by full charges. Further the consultants of the hospital give some

shares of their professional fee to cater to the needs of treatment to the free as well as

subsidized category of patients and for further development.

Billing department takes care of all the bill payment or related issues. On analysing

this department we can see that they provide timely, effective and courteous service to

all patients. They provide information about bill status and keep a meticulous record

of the patient particular, so that they can counsel about the approx financial expenses

and thus ensuring smooth billing process.

94
CHAPTER – 5
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
5.1 FINDINGS/ RESULTS

This chapter includes three sections. First section talks about the findings based on

functional analysis and findings based on questionnaires. Second section explains the

lessons learnt by the researcher during the training session. Finally the last section

summarizes the entire project report.

5.11 Findings Based On Functional Analysis

a. Marketing Department

Being a trustee hospital SGRH was not much involved in marketing initially. Since

the market competition is rising, SGRH is now going for promotional activities, but

that too only in a limited way. The findings from the analysis of marketing

department is that SGRH does not indulge in extensive promotional or marketing

activities, but in order to retain its customers, and retain the market, they are going for

small scale advertisement and promotional strategies.

b. Human Resource Department

The HR Department is an essential part and activity for every organization. The HR

department of SGRH also plays a vital role in the smooth running of the organization.

All activities such as recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, training and

development are carried off by the department. After analysing the HR department,

the researcher concluded that, the HR policies and philosophies of SGRH have always

acted as a ladder and a milestone in the on-going and continuous growth of its

employees. This has indirectly led to the progress of the organization. The norms,

95
activities and the organisational structure of HR department, has helped in assessing

and supervising the work of every employee with proper appraisal and

compensations.

c. Billing Department

Billing department takes care of all the bill payment and other related issues. The

conclusion or findings that can be drawn on analysing this department is that, the

billing department provides timely, effective and courteous service to all patients.

They provide information about bill status, and keep a meticulous record of the

patient particular. This helps them to explain in detail about the approximate financial

expenses to be borne by the patients, and thus ensuring smooth billing process.

5.12 Findings Based On Questionnaire

Following are the outcomes that the researcher observed after analysing the

questionnaire:

i. Positives

Some of the positive points on which maximum number of employees agreed are as

follows:

a) Training had a sufficient amount of both theoretical and practical knowledge.

b) Training was well planned as most of the respondents showed positive

approach.

c) Training was of sufficient duration.

d) Training increases performance as this was evident from the responses of the

respondents.

96
e) Training provides an excellent opportunity for newcomers to learn

comprehensively about the organisation.

f) The norms and values of the company are clearly explained to the new

employees during.

g) Most of the respondents felt that training helps in building confidence.

h) Most of them like attending training session.

i) The training session was useful as respondents were able to see what

organisation wants from them in terms of efficiency and attitude towards

work.

j). Training was easy to understand.

k) There is a well-designed and widely shared training policy in the company.

l) There was minimum difficulty during the training session.

m) All training objective are met during the training sessions.

ii. Negatives

Some of the negative points that the employees of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital felt are as

follows:

a) Some respondents were unable to understand the questions due to language

problem

b) . Some employees returning from training felt that they were not given

adequate free time to reflect and plan.

c) Some respondents were not willing to fill the questionnaires.

d) Some respondents wanted to keep the questionnaires with them and return

later.

97
e) Sometimes the respondents were reluctant to fill the questionnaires, due to

fatigue or due to the deficiency of time.

f) Some respondents did not want to change or were not interested in training

sessions so they attended the session just for the sake of it and were not able to

give valuable inputs.

g) Reading materials provided while training were not enough as few

respondents wanted audio-video clips too.

5.2Lessons Learnt

a) The objective of the project was to assess effectiveness of training on the

employees of SGRH. For this descriptive research method was used, methods

used for data collection was questionnaire and observation method. The

researcher had a very nice experience during his 6 weeks training at Sir Ganga

Ram Hospital. The researcher was entitled as a trainee in HR department but

apart from the HR department the researcher was allowed to visit and work in

marketing and billing department. A senior employee from each department

was assigned as the mentor for particular department who explained the entire

procedure happening in their respective departments.

b) This training helped the researcher to gain a practical exposure of all the

activities in HR department such as Recruitment and Selection, Training and

Development, Performance Appraisal and Grievance Handling. The researcher

himself was a part of various training sessions and selection procedures held at

the hospital. From the billing department researcher got the idea about how

98
exactly the billing mechanisms happen at SGRH. The researcher was given a

chance to sit with the employees at the counters and also with junior account

officer to carefully learn the practical things. Even though SGRH has not got a

well established marketing department, the researcher got a chance to learn

about hospital marketing in a nutshell. The researcher worked with marketing

department for a week and was a part of many activities conducted by

marketing department.

c) In short it can be concluded that the researcher had a very nice time at the

hospital and the 6 weeks that he spent there were fruitful.

d) The unique feature that the researcher observed was each and every

department maintained a well described procedure manual. Each and every

procedure was maintained in written and kept with head of the departments.

This was really helpful for new employees who joined. Each department tried

their maximum to stick with the prescribed format and procedure which

helped them to produce 100% output. Any changes in the procedure if needed

are noted and the procedure manual is updated with the same.

5.3 Suggestions

a) A map of the hospital must be given to the patients along with the

information brochure with the details regarding which department and

ward are in which building. As SGRH is divided into four buildings. This

can reduce confusion among the patients.

99
b) Recommendation basis of recruitment can also be used. In this, the staff

nurses can recommend their friends. If selected, that employee wins a

special award.

c) SGRH may start “Suggestion Award Scheme” which can encourage

employees to come up with new innovative ideas.

d) It can introduce “Team Bonuses”. It will increase cohesiveness among the

employees rather than increasing conflicts among them because of the

individual bonuses. As employees sometimes feel that each one of them

performs same work but only few are praised.

e) At the time of training language used must be adjusted according to the

category of employees attending the training program. Sometimes few

topics are not understood well by some employees.

f) Just like the “Fire Safety Drill” which is conducted once in a month, the

hospital may also start “Mass-Casualty Incident Training” to train the

employees for future emergencies.

According to the researcher more students should be sent to this hospital for

internship. This will enable them to gain a very good practical exposure in the field of

HR, Finance and Marketing. The employees were really helpful and cooperative. The

only difficulty that the researcher faced was that of space. As the construction work

was going on, space was really an issue but once the construction work gets

completed it won’t be an issue.
