ABSTRACT

A budget requires a systematic and thoughtful review of likely expenses and designated funds and helps a business to allocate those expenditures over a designated period of time. Comparisons of actual expenses to budgeted expenses will provide a means for making adjustments wherever needed. The purpose of the study is to have a comparative analysis between the budgeted amount and the actual expenditure. The study will find out the various costs that are incurred every month on the various HR components. The comparison of the actual expenditure would be done with the amount that has been allocated in the business plan of the organization. Using this comparison, the deviation would be found between the actual and the allocated amount and the reasons for the same will be identified in the study. This study will help in understanding the HR related bottlenecks in increasing sales force effectiveness and to reduce recruitment cost by reduction in attrition % through means of employee engagement initiatives.

CHAPTER-1: INTRODUCTION

Project Title “To study the HR practices at HCCBL in relation to Budget and Cost Control”

Purpose of the Study The purpose of the study is to understand the HR practices prevailing in HCCB like recruitments, Employee engagement programs and the cost impacts attached to each component. Further the prime objective is to understand various cost variables of HR budget and identify the components with cost overrun. This Project will provide HCCB with the cost measures to control over run parameters and further will give a detailed plan to improve employee satisfaction. The objectives of the study are as given below: 

To study the business plan and components of HR Budgeting of Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverage Private Limited.



To do a comparative analysis between the budgeted amount and the actual expenditure for West UP.



To analyze the deviations between the budgeted amount and actual expenditure, and identify the reasons for variations.



To understand the HR related bottlenecks in increasing sales force effectiveness



To reduce recruitment cost by reduction in attrition % through means of employee engagement initiatives.

2

Context of the Study The context of the study is to study the business plan and components of HR Budgeting of Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverage Private Limited. There are various parameters which are used to prepare the hr budget and there is a fixed amount of allocation done for every month. The comparative analysis is done between the allocated amount and the actual amount spent every month. The analysis highlights the various parameters which are not meeting the allocated amount or the expenditure is more than the budgeted amount. The reasons for the increase are determined and also cost control measures have been implemented. The cost control measures involve some action plan for employee engagement which would reduce recruitment cost by reduction in attrition %. The sales force effectiveness is also increased by looking at the major issues which were hampering their effectiveness, this would help in the generating more revenue.

Significance of the Study

This project will help the HCCBPL in: a) Indentifying the variables where the cost is exceeding the expected amount (Budget). b) The possible reasons can be identified for the increase in the cost. c) It would determine variables impacting sales force effectiveness and which can be improved to increase the revenue. d) The employee engagement program would be implemented which would help in reducing the recruitment cost as there would be a reduction in attrition %. e) Assistance in the various HR activities like recruitment and selection, the hr operations and also the various training like COBC (code of business conduct).

Limitations of Study

Although all efforts have been made to study each and every items, but due to lack of time and other resources study has been done on the limited parameters. The study has following limitations:1. Duration of study posed limitation on further intensive study. 2. Mostly stress was given on the secondary data, as it was a live project. 3. The cost control measures need time in implementation and to see the long term results. 4. The data collected from the different sources could have some deviations which can affect the findings and analysis. 5. There can be some unnoticed calculation errors which might affect the findings.

Theoretical Framework

When an advance salary of one month is offered to the employee at the time of separation, it still saves the outages HR Budgeting is a powerful financial tool that can estimate the expenditures made by the HR vertical. This strengthens and allows the HR to control the cost rather than letting it control the HR initiative. The budget is drawn parallel to the goals of the organization. If the organization expands and requires to register a double digit growth in terms of its strength, it percolate to apportion funds in different areas including recruitment, retention, up-skilling, global mobility management and etc. The allocation of funds would be governed by the HR Strategies. The decision makers in an organization remain the main players to approve the budget. The recommendations and inputs are taken from different sources including operation, marketing, logistics and every other vertical within the organization. Macro areas including employee retention, recruitment and training and micro areas including

4

programs designed for incremental benefits are all mapped into one complete budgeting program. It can be zero-based budget with no reference to last year‟s expense. The organization plan is drawn and the HR strategy gets aligned to it. Different expense points are defined followed by the identification of the bottlenecks which may affect the business. Such as sudden business ramp-up by a competitor would lead to a compensation review to arrest attrition. Similarly, every such area which may stand a threat within the HR systems needs to be covered. Allocation would be on the basis of priority and necessity. Few areas such as communication may not require a big budget but is an important and a continuous process. Correspondingly training and retention will have a great attention for a stable organization. In case the company plans to expand, recruitment would remain the primary focus. Legal and statutory will require allocation and follow-up as per the administrative guidelines. A study of the business units and products is important to identify the growth mode. Recognize the problem areas in those units. Emphasize on the HR strategies that can eradicate and improve productivity including time to market, profit-margins etc. This includes increase retention through employee engagement program and the recruitment of top performers. Implement metrics to measure these improvements. The metrics to calculate the ROI should be clear to the HR at all levels so that everyone can „think numbers‟. Few measures as suggested in HR Management need to be considered. This include average cost of recruitment per year, average cost of recruitment per staff, average cost of training per year, percentage training cost / sales turnover or productivity, training cost per employee, salary budget ratio / sales turnover, health safety cost per year, human resources cost per sales turnover and compensation and benefit cost / sales turnover per year. This helps in building up the high level report for the CFO to deliberate on it. The HR Budget would further require the CFO‟s approval. HR Specialist suggests certain measures which can be implemented to sell the budget to the CFO. Other than linking it to the organizational goals and emphasizing revenue returns, every program needs to highlight the benefit. Even an assistance package offered to an employee at the point of retrenching, adds to the bottom line. The average or the below average employee

5

is considered as „cost‟. Hence even for forthcoming months. Hence the cost of outages should be included as revenue. Measure the employee effectiveness program with the increase in profitability. Every engagement expense adds on to the productivity. Besides the training program that amount to up-skilling therefore connected to the profitability. The Budget needs to be in line with the current and future strategies of the organization. If the productivity level within the organization was high last year, the focus this year might be on the logistics and marketing. This year the spending on the human capital might shift into that direction. Finally it needs to include certain pre-emptive measures to mitigate any exigency including calamities such as swine flu, which may require relevant coverage of health benefits and talent deployment. Every risk needs to be mitigated and loop holes mended. The budgeting program needs to be industry drive

Developing the human resources portion of your organization's budget is often part of your job responsibilities as an HR executive. A complete budget will enable you to meet the human resources related computer, travel, recruiting, salary, membership and benefit requirements of your organization. As you prepare your department's budget, include both current and projected needs to present a fiscally sound, realistic plan to your accounting department.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits generally comprise the majority of an HR budget, as many organizations run employee payroll through the human resources allocation budget. When working on the compensation and benefit portion of the budget include employee salaries, unemployment and associated federal and state taxes. Also include the employer portion of health insurance. Depending on your organization's insurance package, you may need to include life, vision, health and disability insurance. If your company has a retirement plan, also include those costs in the compensation and benefit portion of your budget.

Human Resource Information Systems

The human resources information system is a vital part of most HR departments. HRIS is either a specifically installed software or online system you use to input a wide variety of information on your employees, such as employee data, applicant tracking and payroll. The cost of your HRIS system will vary based on the features your system offers and how your accounting department allocates your computer access. Work with the accounting or information technology departments to determine your HRIS cost.

7

Training and Development

Training and development costs are an important part of your human resources budget. You may be responsible for training and development on an organization-wide basis or only responsible for training and development of your human resources staff. In either case, an article by the Society for Human Resource Management entitled, "What Should Be Included in a Training Budget?" recommends including the cost of digital and printed training materials, speaker honorariums or fees, online training access and rental of off-site conference rooms, if needed. Meet with upper management to determine what training modules they would like presented throughout the year to develop your budget. For your own staff, include the cost of membership to human resources organizations, conference fees and travel.

Human Resources Services

The human resources services portion of your budget encompasses the peripheral services your department provides to support the organization. Include employment agency fees if you occasionally use temporary workers during busy times. Allocate money for executive search firms, if appropriate. Other costs can include the cost of preemployment or periodic drug testing for employees, credit check fees, employee assistance programs or background testing. If your organization uses newspaper, magazines or online sources to advertise open positions, include advertising costs in your budget.

Introduction to Company Profile

Beverage industry is one of the fastest growing industries in India. Soft drinks are a typical consumer product purchased by individual primarily to quench their thirst and also for refreshment. Different types of soft drinks are available in the market and more or less content of all soft drink is same. The market of soft drink is facing a cut throat competition and many companies are floating their product in the market with different brand names. In such a situation different facto which influence the people‟s choice for soft drink are test, quality, image, easy availability and the product cost of advertisement.

History of Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today. 1899 The first bottling agreement Two young attorneys from Chattanooga, Tennessee believed they could build a business around bottling Coca-Cola. In a meeting with Candler, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead obtained exclusive rights to bottle Coca-Cola across most of the United States (specifically excluding Vicksburg) -- for the sum of one dollar. A third Chattanooga lawyer, John T. Lupton, soon joined their venture. 1900-1909 … Rapid growth The three pioneer bottlers divided the country into territories and sold bottling rights to local entrepreneurs. Their efforts were boosted by major progress in bottling technology, which improved efficiency and product quality. By 1909, nearly 400 CocaCola bottling plants were operating, most of them family-owned businesses. Some were open only during hot-weather months when demand was high.

9

1916 … Birth of the contour bottle Bottlers worried that the straight-sided bottle for Coca-Cola was easily confused with imitators. A group representing the Company and bottlers asked glass manufacturers to offer ideas for a distinctive bottle. A design from the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana won enthusiastic approval in 1915 and was introduced in 1916. The contour bottle became one of the few packages ever granted trademark status by the U.S. Patent Office. Today, it's one of the most recognized icons in the world - even in the dark! 1920s … Bottling overtakes fountain sales As the 1920s dawned, more than 1,000 Coca-Cola bottlers were operating in the U.S. Their ideas and zeal fueled steady growth. Six-bottle cartons were a huge hit after their 1923 introduction. A few years later, open-top metal coolers became the forerunners of automated vending machines. By the end of the 1920s, bottle sales of Coca-Cola exceeded fountain sales. 1920s and 30s … International expansion Led by longtime Company leader Robert W. Woodruff, chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, the Company began a major push to establish bottling operations outside the U.S. Plants were opened in France, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Belgium, Italy, Peru, Spain, Australia and South Africa. By the time World War II began, Coca-Cola was being bottled in 44 countries. 1940s … Post-war growth

During the war, 64 bottling plants were set up around the world to supply the troops. This followed an urgent request for bottling equipment and materials from General Eisenhower's base in North Africa. Many of these war-time plants were later converted to

10

civilian use, permanently enlarging the bottling system and accelerating the growth of the Company's worldwide business. 1950s … Packaging innovations For the first time, consumers had choices of Coca-Cola package size and type -the traditional 6.5-ounce contour bottle, or larger servings including 10-, 12- and 26ounce versions. Cans were also introduced, becoming generally available in 1960. 1960s … New brands introduced Following Fant in the 1950s, Sprite, Minute Maid, Fresca and TaB joined brand Coca-Cola in the 1960s. Mr. Pibb and Mello Yello were added in the 1970s. The 1980s brought diet Coke® and Cherry Coke, followed by POWERADE and DASANI in the 1990s. Today hundreds of other brands are offered to meet consumer preferences in local markets around the world. 1970s and 80s … Consolidation to serve customers As technology led to a global economy, the retailers who sold Coca-Cola merged and evolved into international mega-chains. Such customers required a new approach. In response, many small and medium-size bottlers consolidated to better serve giant international customers. The Company encouraged and invested in a number of bottler consolidations to assure that its largest bottling partners would have capacity to lead the system in working with global retailers. 1990s … New and growing markets Political and economic changes opened vast markets that were closed or underdeveloped for decades. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Company invested heavily to build plants in Eastern Europe. And as the century closed, more than $1.5 billion was committed to new bottling facilities in Africa. 21st Century The Coca-Cola bottling system grew up with roots deeply planted in local communities. This heritage serves the Company well today as people seek brands that honor local identity and the distinctiveness of local markets. As was true a century ago,

11

strong locally based relationships between Coca-Cola bottlers, customers and communities are the foundation on which the entire business grows.

CHAPTER: 2 LITERATURE REVIEW

Sandra Cohen, Sotiris Karatzimas, (2011),"The role of the human resources department in budgeting: evidence from Greece", Journal of Human Resource Costing & Accounting, Vol. 15 Iss: 2 pp. 147 – 166, purpose of this study is to examine the involvement of the human resources (HR) department throughout the budgeting process and furthermore to investigate the use of budgets for motivation, communication, performance evaluation and control in the Greek business environment, from the perspective of the HR department managers. Design/methodology/approach – Empirical evidence is based on the responses received from HR department managers in 100 Greek companies with a distinct HR department to a structured questionnaire. Results suggest that the HR department has limited involvement in the budgeting procedures, which in turn could explain the limited use of budgets as a means of performance evaluation and communication from a HR management perspective. Nevertheless, both the size of the HR department and the number of employees has a positive effect on the HR management and budgeting interaction. The survey presented in this paper provides corroborative evidence that HR departments in Greece do not fully exploit the wide potential offered through budgeting as a means to achieve their goals. The study contributes to the literature by analyzing the responses of HR department managers and their views towards the budgeting function from a HR management perspective in Greek companies.

Don't look at budgeting as a necessary evil but as an opportunity to demonstrate HR's value by Ladika, Susan. HR Magazine; Aug2006, Vol. 51 Issue 8, p93-95, 3p, article emphasizes the need for human resource (HR) managers to be knowledgeable about the facts and figures of budgeting. Categories of budget development include internal, operational and organizational budgeting. HR managers should consider and expect to revise its recruiting budget if the unemployment rate declines. In addition to external economic factors, it is essential to review financial reports that affect the budget of HR.

It states that training should be tailored to staff needs, and should be provided to larger groups together rather than to a single team. It mentions that retaining the existing employees is much cheaper than recruiting replacements. It offers information on books and articles that provide information on budgeting.

Figure 5: Meeting and conferences

The reason because of which the budgeted amount exceeded in the above parameters is: 1.

RTM (Route to Market) department is responsible for the above increase. The cost goes up mostly because of the sourcing and freighting. It was because of the rise in the demand and the unexpected breakdowns.

2.

The budgeted amount of the rent in the business plan is very less as compared to the actual expenditure. The business plan needs to be reviewed.

3.

The actual amount exceeded the budgeted amount of meetings and conferences because there was a sales conference organized in the month of February. The expenditure of that conference is not included in the business plan.

46

Apart from these parameters, all the other parameters are under control. The expenditures are under the amount allocated to them.

3. HR related bottlenecks in increasing sales force effectiveness:

The sales force effectiveness was hampered because of the rise in the fuel prices. The market developer were not travelling much, there was a resistance in there travelling pattern. This was hampering the effectiveness of the sales force team in U.P. The VISITE NAMEOF

After the calculation of the achievement%, the data is represented in the graphical form for individual months. 4. The cumulative study was done for all the parameters from the month of Jan till April.

53

FINDINGS

(i) After the analysis of the achievement percentages, it was found that there are three parameters in which the actual expenditure is more than the budgeted amount. Those three parameters are: 1. Variable COGS (Sourcing cost & sourcing freight) 2.

Rent

3. Meetings and conferences

The reason because of which the budgeted amount exceeded in the above parameters are: 

RTM (Route to Market) department is responsible for the above increase. The cost goes up mostly because of the sourcing and freighting.



The budgeted amount of the rent in the business plan is very less as compared to the actual expenditure.



The actual amount exceeded the budgeted amount of meetings and conferences because there was a sales conference organized in the month of February. The expenditure of that conference is not included in the business plan.

Apart from these parameters, all the other parameters are under control. The expenditures are under the amount allocated to them.

After the studying the response of marketing developers it was found that the sales force was not able to perform well as the transport allowance given to them was not sufficient. Because of the rise in the fuel price the sales force was not traveling much, which was the major reason, hampering their productivity. The transport allowance was increased to Rs.130 per day from Rs.75 per day.

54

(iii) The employee engagement plan was implemented to increase the belongingness amongst the employees, which would reduce the attrition rate and save the recruitment expenditure. The major focus was on the health consciousness. The mailers were made and circulated to all the employees informing them about, Water Borne Diseases, Obesity, Hypertension & Stress, AIDS, Cancer, Hepatitis, Smoking, and Cardiac Health.

55

CHAPTER: 5 RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

CONCLUSION

Every organizational function and activity needs money to run and manage properly. Availability of adequate financial allocation is needed for development and improvement purposes. This is also true of HR. Continuous development of an improvement in HR is as important as those in the business activities of your organization. From the above study on hr budget vs. actual expenditure in Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverage Private limited, it can be concluded that the expenditure are under control. The expenditure is done as per the budgeted amount. There are some deviations though, which has been identified in the above analysis. The reasons for the deviations have been determined. The cost control measures which have been implemented in the organization are: 1. Switching off systems when not in use. The tracker was prepared on a daily basis which ensures the optimum use of electricity. 2. Usage of hired vehicle was reduced. The transport allowance is increased for the sales force to facilitate them in improving their performance. The employee engagement plan is implemented to increase the belongingness.

56

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Some of the cost control measures which can be suggested to the company are:

1. Reduce the usage of the hired vehicle. The use of the personal vehicle should be encouraged; this would eliminate the extra expenditure on vehicle used. 2. The tracker can be maintained on a daily basis which assures the optimum use of electricity. 3. The employee engagement plan can be implemented with perfection.
