Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

1.1 Background of the Study This report is a partial requirement for the course – INT 495 (Internship) at Presidency University. This study will assist Faculty to get a clear idea of internal communication of Grameenphone. Performance Management System is emerging concept. Very few Bangladeshi companies have employees dedicated to Performance Management System. Grameenphone has identified this area and try focusing these to improve employee efficiency. 1.2 Objective of the Problems This study examines the performance management system of Grameenphone. It is used strategically to enable employees to live its corporate values and consistently deliver on its brand promise. But among the employees it seems that employees are unaware about different internal and external activities of Grameenphone. This study will identify those problems and try to give proper suggestions to solve those problems regarding communication gap among the employees.

1.3 Scope of the Study The study is limited to Grameenphone Limited only. The findings of this study could be used to be rolled out on other companies, whereby the importance of performance management system and its different strategies will be highlighted and recommended to management. The study will be not free from limitation. Limitations including…

Data: important information such as some local intranet statistics has been concealed, limited access of other relevant data. Time: Time is an important issue in report writing. As I have been given a specific deadline for submission I may not perform all the activities.

1.4 Methodology of the Study Most of the data collected are through both primary and secondary data collection which included personal observation and analysis and secondary data sources are Grameenphone internal source , GP press releases etc

1.5 Performance Management Performance management can be defined as a strategic and integrated approach to delivering sustained success to organization by improving the performance of the people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of teams and individual contributors. To perform well, employees need to know what is expected of them. The starting point is an up-to-date job description that describes the essential functions, tasks, and responsibilities of the job. It also outlines the general areas of knowledge and skills required of the employee an employee to be successful in the job. Performance expectations go beyond the job description. When you think about high quality on-the-job performance, you are really thinking about a range of expected job outcomes, such as 

What goods and services should the job produce?



What impact should the work have on the organization?



How do you expect the employee to act with clients, colleagues, and supervisors?



What are the organizational values the employee must demonstrate?



What are the processes, methods, or means the employee is expected to use?

In discussing performance expectations an employee should understand why the job exists, where it fits in the organization, and how the job’s responsibilities link to organization and department objectives. The range of performance expectations can be broad but can generally be broken into two categories:

Page 11

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd



Results (The goods and services produced by an employee often measured by objectives or standards)



Actions & Behaviors (The methods and means used to make a product and the behaviors and values demonstrated during the process. Actions and Behaviors can be measured through performance dimensions.)

Performance expectations serve as a foundation for communicating about performance throughout the year. They also serve as the basis for assessing employee performance. When you and an employee set clear expectations about the results that must be achieved and the methods or approaches needed to achieve them, you establish a path for success.

Chapter 4 Description of the job

Page 30

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

4.1 Job Description In my 12 week work experience I go through different responsibilities, training, one to one conversation, team meeting etc. First two week of my jobs I go through different type of training. As I join the customer service department of gramophone I have to learn lots of thing. In the training session I learn about the corporate culture of Grameenphone, the dress code of the company. The rules and regulation, the values, and more important thing are how to handle and satisfy the subscriber. I learn to operate different type of tools and software which is essential to execute the subscriber query and request. So there is computer tainting in between the two week. Next two week I was assign with one of my senior collegue to learn the job practically. There are lots of segment in customer service in Grameenphone. There two main segment is  

Inbound Outbound

Inbound: In an inbound, customers generally place their queries, and complain about product and service. Subscribers also request to activate of deactivate different service in his mobile. The query and the request are instantly solve by the customer manager but complains are solve by backend complain management team because there need to verify complains whether the complain is valid or not. It takes 24 to 72 hours. Outbound: Outbound call centers are usually, sales jobs over the phone, as a telecommunication company Grameenphone has different service to sale like different package of edge, missed call alert, welcome tune, and call block service mobile backup service etc. outbound is use not only for sale but also use to aware subscriber about the new product and service and offer.

Another segment of customer service is complain management, where customer managers deals with the complain of the subscribers. In Customer Service Division, I was assigned at youth segment under contact centers. I was allocated to work with Customer Insight Management System. My activities were divided in two categories i.e. routine and non-routine task. On routine task I used to focus on Balance Transfer inquiry and complain fraudulent Activity and Thank you Bonus disburse and Deactivate campaign on non routine task which I had to carry out with routine task simultaneously. Page 31

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

4.2 Routine tasks: I started with routine task and first two weeks I have gone through different execution for balance transfer complain. Let me tell you the “Balance Transfer” in a brief form.

4.2.1 Balance transfer complains: Balance Transfer is a procedure of transferring money in between IN (intelligent network to intelligent network) that is prepaid to prepaid account. To do Balance Transfer one must have a secret Balance Transfer PIN through which subscriber will be able to maintain his/her security over money. Without a valid PIN no one can transfer money. Any subscriber can avail the Balance Transfer PIN by sending SMS and prior to that one must used taka 600 from that subscription .According to BTRC restriction from e subscription can for maximum 16 Balance Transfers in a month to any GP number In Balance Transfer, subscriber was sending sms to have Pin and receive an error Message from GP. To get to know what is the problem with Balance Transfer, subscriber made a call to contact center and drop a complain that taka 600 already used from the IN and not getting the PIN. The customer manager posts a complain in unsolved status to Customer Insight Management System and my responsibility took place with that unsolved posting. My first task is to check how much money subscriber already spends (600 taka) once again. If the subscriber meet the criteria (usage taka 600) that open the transfer unblock option by accessing in to a networked software and after the subscriber would be able to avail the balance transfer just sending a SMS.

4.2.2 Complaint fraudulent activity My second routine task was with fraudulent activity detection. Pretty long time a group of people called to subscribers and say they are from Grameenphone and the subscriber got prize (cash ,car, motorcycle and etc) through a Grameenphone lottery. If you want to avail all these prizes you need to pay a tax/VAT. To pay this tax/VAT please recharges an amount to given number or the calling number. But Grameenphone never had such a kind of lottery.we,Grameenphone detect these group of people as fraud. Thier target is mostly our mass subscribers from rural areas. When they heard about such a kind of attracting prizes they can’t control themselves and provide money without proper verification by talking to us( call 121).Some subscriber provide money but didn’t get anything. They made call to 121 and regret though we are covering advertisement in electronic and print media. They don’t follow us. So the victim subscriber complained to our contact center. But sometimes few smart subscribers contact us before providing any money. My responsibility is to pull the CFA (complain fraudulent activity) posting, go through the account history. If the account history reflect the unusual flow of money that is a lot of balance transfer took place and one or two high amount recharges than I just made call to the subscriber perhaps fraud and said “we have got a complaint and found unusual activity from your subscription, please come to Grameenphone center or Service touch point along with your subscription paper and until you visit us, we will remain your line barred. Again by accessing three networked software’s I Page 32

barred for further check I compiled the number and mail it to the concern segment, Complaint Management,Grameenphone Ltd.

4.2.3 Complaint HLR parameter: My third routine task was with HLR parameter.HLR parameter state the airtime and date service connectivity. When it is a complaint, it restricts the interruption of airtime and date connectivity and even VAS.HLR parameter problem can be arise from many reason in many GSM parameters, but precisely it is four in GSM like incoming and outgoing airtime,unoriginate data transfer and personalized ring back tone parameter. Let’s mull over few scenario’s regarding HLR parameter: Scenario 1: Subscriber having incoming/outgoing or both problem from theSIM.again let’s consider in sub three individual scenarios: Sub scenario 1: Subscriber lost his/her cell phone and barred the line by calling customer after proper verification instantly to avoid any occurrence from the SIM.later on subscriber went to GPC and replace the sim but could have incoming/outgoing or both but both way SMS was working properly. To solve this problem subscriber made call to contact center and left complaint on it. My task: Since the SIM was under lost phone category and an unsolved task from the GPC so I had to cross match the sim kit number from Insight Management System and unbar the line from Technical Access Platform for system, leaving a post Complaint HLR parameter as solved post done from back end. Sub Scenario 2: Subscriber didn’t use a sim for one hundred eighty days continuously and got reconnection. Subscriber couldn’t avail whether incoming or outgoing airtime service. According to the GSM features, The BTS always search for IN with in specific VLR and keep connected. If one IN remain out of network and unused, the BTS will stop searching and automatically delete all the date from its server just after 180 days and eventually all the data service will be cut down. My task: I had to cross match the sim kit number from Insight Management System with Technical Access Platform for system once again and unbar the line from Technical Access Platform for system, leaving a post Complaint HLR parameter as solved post done from back end. Scenario 2: Due to reconnection problem and since the data service has cut down because of remaining unused for one hundred days; Subscriber was having problem with SMS sending but could receive. My task: First of I had to check out the all the GSM parameters were properly exists and working or not. Then check out the note pad from MINSAT, a prepaid status soft ware for any obligation and unbar the originated SMS access. Page 33

Scenario 3: Subscriber purchased song for welcome tune. But it was playing default tone. The subscriber made complaint that “I have purchased the song for welcome tune and money got deducted from my account. It was supposed to be activated within 72 hours but still it didn’t. My task: I had to check out the song status from welcome tune log and from the technical access platform for system (TAPS) software. In welcome tune log song exists but in the TAPS there was no GSM parameter titled “ PRBT”.so I had to active the PRBT status manually and make it solved.

4.3 Specific Responsibilities of the job:  Provide one‐stop quality Customer Service over phone to ensure positive customer experience.  Proactively aware / inform customers regarding products / service.

   

Sale through inbound and outbound contacts. Capture customer insights and escalate critical issues / complaints and provide timely feedback. Maintain targeted KPI on a regular basis. Serve customers with helping attitude and thus play a significant role in customer satisfaction, retention and acquisition. In this way enhance Grameenphone’s brand image.

4.4 Observations and Recommendations Grameenphone is the largest telecom service provider in Bangladesh. For all kind of business after sales service is more important than other service to retain customers. As a telecom service provider, customer service is more important for Grameenphone. From customer service and call center Grameenphone subscriber gets all kind of after sales service. So customer service is very impartment. In my observation Grameenphone gives more emphasis on customer service. Customer service is not only after sales service but also an income source for Grameenphone. So now a day’s customer service division is important like other division. All the customer manager of customer service is very efficient, energetic, and educated. They all are trained well to handle customers. The quality of service is very good. The environment of the office is also very good. The office setup is very modern and technological advance. All the calls from subscribers come in to automated answering machines which call IVR. Subscriber has to wait Page 34

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

for a human agent. All the computer and pabx system is up to date, so customer manager can provide service very smoothly. The main problem is Grameenphone has a large number of subscribers and the ratio of subscribers and customers manager is large, so it is very difficult to handle the call pressure for the customer manager. It is very painful for subscribers to wait a long time for getting the service. In recommendation part I want to recommend something to betterment of customer service:  

Decrease the call pressure to increase customer satisfaction. Give more training to the customer manager so that they can increase their skills.



Create a strong IVR (interactive voice response) so that subscriber get more service from IVR without the help of human agent. Free the call charge when subscribers are in queue. Effectively make the break plan so that the customer manager can remove stress. Increase the number of employee to reduce call pressure. Motivate the employee by different motivational factor because it is a monotonous job. Provide health checkup specially eye and hearing checkup on a regular basis to the employee. Give more benefit to the employee to reduce employee turnover. Reduce the time limit of solve complains of the subscribers to increase customer satisfaction.

      

Some scope of implementation would be helpful:      

Increase Grameenphone Service point to serve more people. Use the easiest communication method to reach all level of subscribers. Recruit skilled customer manager who can serve the subscriber with high quality. Provide training to the customer manager so that they can satisfy the customers. Recruit local people in local area so that they can understand local subscribers need. Use the latest technology to serve the subscribers more efficiently.

5.1 Introduction: Grameenphone (GP) today is apparently the largest mobile telecommunication industry in Bangladesh. It operates its function with an aim to accomplish two principal targets. Firstly, as with other commercial organizations, it operates in such a manner that it receives a good economic return on the investment. Nonetheless, secondly, it contributes significantly to the economic development of the country in making telecommunication a popular medium for exchange of information. GP, in its operation, has to address a large number of customers throughout the country. It is therefore imperative to get to the customers to know their impression on the services of this important communication medium. As well as it has a strong people force that is earning its revenue higher and efficiently. In customer service the performance system is very structured and well communicated. This encouraged me to choose the topic of this internship as “Performance Management System” Customer service, Commercial, Grameenphone. The introductory part of subject under investigation contains the following:

     

Objectives of the Study Significance of the Study Sources of the study Reason of choosing Performance Management System of GP Methodology of the study Limitations of the Study

As an intern‐member of GP’s CS the assigned job of the researcher involve providing different services to the esteemed subscribers over telephone, which is known as helpline service. In other words, the job related to satisfy the customers and meeting up the KPI.

5.2 Objectives of the Study: This Program was designed to accomplish two objectives. The objectives were identified through a closer interaction and exchange of views with the management of CS. The objectives are:  To find out the process of performance management of the employees of CS  To locate specific areas of dissatisfaction of the Employees regarding the performance management.

5.3 Significance of the Study: Organizationally Grameenphone is the market leader in the mobile telecommunication sector in Bangladesh. Its growth rate is splendid. But in this age of free market economy and hard competition, it is very difficult to keep up the leadership without competitive targets and better management of performance of the employees. In the structural and operational segments and making demand-driven improvement, Company therefore need to come up with new ideas to remain in healthy competition for business development and employee development as well. They need to maintain the optimum level of their employee’s level of capability and caliber of outcome. It is very important for Grameenphone as well to assess whether its Employees are satisfied or not. If the employees are not satisfied, GP can then identify and specify the areas of dissatisfaction and take necessary action to remove the dissatisfactions.

5.4 Sources of the study: Data were gathered from both primary and secondary sources. Collection of data was not that difficult as Grameenphone Ltd is a leading fast generation private telecommunication Industry in the country. The assignment in such an esteemed industry was a great privilege to collate relevant data to prepare this report.

5.5 Reason of choosing Performance Management System: Grameenphone is a leading market in mobile telecommunication sector with its customers perhaps not fully satisfied with company’s performance and services. If GP does not care of these dissatisfactions for ultimate solutions, other companies might penetrate into the market with similar or better offers. Then, it would be difficult on the part of the Grameenphone to keep up the current market share. Performance management is a means of getting better results from the organization, teams and individuals by understanding and managing performance within an agreed framework of planned goals, standards and competence requirements. An effective performance management process sets the foundation for rewarding excellence: 

By linking individual employee work efforts with the organization’s mission and objectives, the employee and the organization understand how that job contributes to the organization.



By focusing attention on setting clear performance expectations (results + actions & behaviors), it helps the employee know what needs to be done to be successful on the job.



Through the use of objectives, standards, performance dimensions, and other measures it focuses effort. This helps the department get done what needs to be done and provides a solid rationale for eliminating work that is no longer useful. Page 38

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd



By defining job-mastery and career development goals as part of the process, it makes it very clear how the current position supports employee growth and the additional opportunities the employee needs to explore.



Through regular check-in discussions, which include status updates, coaching, and feedback, it promotes flexibility, allowing you and the employee to identify problems early and change the course of a project or work assignment.



By emphasizing that an annual appraisal should simply be a summary of the conversations held between you and the employee during the entire cycle, it shifts the focus away from performance as an “annual event” to performance as an on-going process.

An effective performance management process, while requiring time to plan and implement, can save you and the employee time and energy. Most importantly, it can be a very effective motivator, since it can help organization and the employee achieve the best possible performance.

5.6 Methodology of the study: Based on the topic chosen, I was assigned the task in the Customer Management Division (CS) in GP. This department consists of a big team of about 2000 employees. Its functions relate with the customer service after the sales occur. Prime functions and activities of the GP Customer Management Divisions cater to all after‐sales services starting from activation of subscriptions, all customer contacts (Centralized Call Center, Customer Relations Centers, and centralized Customer Communications), billing, bank communication, bill collection throughout the country, helpline services, etc This study was mainly based on primary data that was collected through direct survey. To accomplish this, a questionnaire was developed that consisted mainly closed‐ended questions. Some data and other necessary information were collected by interviewing officials of GP. These can also be treated as secondary data. Data collection was done on a random basis. The results are represented through bar charts. The research findings came out through analyzing those data. 5.7 Limitations of the Study: Grameenphone basic strategy is widening its market through its emerging countrywide network. As a result of this strategy, the subscribers are from different segments or from different income levels. Moreover, the subscribers are scattered all over the country. The time constraint confined the study mostly on the data collected in Dhaka zone. Moreover, it was not possible to get all required internal information of the company as these are treated as confidential to the company. Page 39

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

The outcome of the study can thus be regarded exploratory, and may not be treated as absolute for the whole country. In latter case a more comprehensive study is required.

5.8 Performance Measurements The proper Performance management systems establish when the whole vision of the organizations is separated in parts throughout the organization in individual level. Expected results and the outcome in short term level combine the whole long term goal of the company. Performance objectives and standards are two of the most common methods to define expected results. Both objectives and standards are most useful when, in addition to being written down and verifiable, they are: 

Specific



Measurable



Attainable



Relevant



Timely

Specific – Objectives and standards should let employees know exactly which actions and results they are expected to accomplish. Measurable – Whenever possible, objectives and standards should be based on quantitative measures such as direct counts, percentages, and ratios. Attainable – The objective or standard should be achievable, but challenging, and attainable using resources available. Relevant – Individual goals, objectives and standards should be in alignment with those of the unit and the department in support of the University’s mission. Timely – Results should be delivered within a time period that meets the department and organization’s needs. Objectives and standards identify baselines for measuring performance results. From performance objectives and standards, supervisors can provide specific feedback describing the gap between expected and actual performance. When the performance of the employees are SMART, only then possible to achieve the short term goals with high efficiency.

Grameenphone has followed the process of performance management goal orientation process in its individual , team and department level. The performance management system is created in such ways that the whole process is combined with the company objectives.

In Customer service the officers, Customer managers and managers are measured with three categories of performance. These are:  Sales  Adherence  SQI ( Service Quality Index) These three are Combined is known as the KPI – Key Performance indicator. Based on these the customer service department is measured from individual to department in operation. The levels of the KPI targets are changed accordingly with Commercial division’s objective. The flow of the KPI in the whole department is as below:

Company Mission Division objectives Department KPI Segment KPI Team/ manager KPI Individual KPI Figure 1.1: KPI hierarchy

Sales in customer service department as like other department is used as a revenue generator of commercial division. It is no different than to provide information about the service as well as sell the products related with the service. In Grameenphone as a TELCO it has core products and VAS ( value added service). In core products voice and general data service like SMS is included. In VAS other valu added services are included as mentioned in the report above.

The Customer Service Agents are provided by defined sales target from the department to fulfill the revenue target of the company. They are provided with targets like revenue generator VASes. These come with difference of market demand and company strategy. In grameenphone customer service agent have to sell VAS like below: 

   

EDGE (internet data service) o Package 2 (unlimited) o Package 3 (night time unlimited) o Package 4 (one day unlimited) o Package 5 (3 gigabytes) o Package 6 (1 gigabyte) o Package 7 ( 15 megabytes) o Package 9 (99 megabytes) Welcome Tune ( Ring back tone) Call Block Service Missed Call Alert Mobile Backup Service ( contacts and file backup) And many more VAS as per consumer demand and service.

There is a computer web based tool to report the sales achievement of individual, team and segment along with the Department result. It is called Online inbound sales report.

Page 42

Figure 2: Online Inbound Sales Report

Adherence Adherence is the availability of an agent in the inbound calling system. The more the availability the less is the queue. Based on the Queue management concept in Customer service Department Adherence has been taken under KPI and total Operation Objective to provide faster service to the customers in terms of greater satisfaction and better revenue. The adherence of agents is demanding and very hight in target it 90%. Each agent must maintain the average availability of 90% each month. It is the benchmark of the KPI of adherence. The whole contact center is incorporated with the adherence management tool named TELEOPTI. It measures the availability of agents in call.

Page 43

Figure 3: Adherence tool TELEOPTI

SOI (Service Quality Index) SQI is the measurement of the Quality of service of customer service department. A dedicated Team named Quality assurance is responsible to measure the quality of the service of this department in term of serving the inbound customer calls. They measure the Quality with some Quantified benchmarks of etiquette of serving, problem solving, customer feedback on call, handling time of call and unique dialogue assembling. This comes with a tool that provides the quality index marking of an agent respective to its target of SQI achievement. It is a most important KPI of Customer Service Department of Grameenphone because the company never compromises with the Quality of the service.

Performance Management System The Performance Management System Tool is the mother tool that combine the KPI achievement rates to rate it for the overall business performance rating. This tool provides a transparent result of rating the performer out of 5 points how was the performance. On that rating the performance appraisal of an individual or team or department occurs.

The tool is combined with two parts. One is the measurement part of the tool. Another is the Feedback part for both supervisor and supervisee.

5.9 Performance Monitoring Performance management system, its continous process. Where the targets are set and communicated with employees. If it is not monitored well the whole system can be lost. In GP performance is monitored accordingly with the operation. The SQI evaluation , sales updates and adherence measurement are done continuously and reported accordingly to make the evaluation transperant and monitor every steaps of an agent. In terms of sale the monitoring is higly updated. There are inbound compliance team to monitor ethical sale of agents to reduce the customers complain and make the performance more competitive transparently

5.10 Performance Feedback Once performance objectives and standards are established, one should observe an employee’s performance and check-in with them regularly, providing feedback. You have a responsibility to recognize and reinforce strong performance by an employee, and identify and encourage improvement where it is needed. Some types of jobs and responsibilities have built-in feedback. In these jobs the knowledge of the results comes from work activity itself, such as when an electrician repairs a broken switch and it begins to work, when a development officer in charge of a capital campaign begins to receive donations, or when a SAO successfully helps a student through a difficult process. This kind of feedback is very effective because it is immediate. However, even jobs with immediate feedback can benefit from external feedback, since it contributes to an employee’s overall knowledge of his/her results and work.

In Customer Service of GP Performance feedback is done on a Regular basis in every month to discuss, settle re arrange and performance of Employees. The feedback Sessions are like below:

121 In this session employees are summoned by the supervisors to discuss about the performance. Very transparent session and effective to identify any fault, gap and improvement areas of employees performance.

Page 47

Team Meeting It’s a meeting session of the whole team with the leader to talk about and identify the improvement areas of performance in the context of whole team. The effort is found out and overall updates about current and coming performance sessions are done in this meeting.

Inform and Involve This is a monthly session of performance feedback. In this session the overall performance of the department is communicated with the employees and improvement comments are taken from the employees for better performance. And also the recognitions are done in this session of individual and team performance with being best awards.

5.11 Performance appraisal: Grameenphone is totally is a performance driven company. The Human Resource Policy is also created based on the performance of its employees. Customer service is not opposite of that.

In Customer Service Performance is everything for its employees Development. So the higher the performance the higher is the development of its employees. The Development and appraisal are done in two ways in GP CS. Financially and Nonfinancial. For the permanent employees the business rating in their monthly performance business rating creates a cumulative value in the Yearly PMP (Performance management Program). This appraisal provides below benefits: o o o o

Chapter 6 Conclusion

Page 50

Internship report on Performance Management System of Grameenphone Ltd

6.1 Recommendation: Audience Recommendations: 1) Employees should be more communicated through tools so that they use the WOW portal more. 2) Each division should post their achievements/campaigns on WOW portal for increase the transparency of overall evaluation of companys’ performance. Sales Performance recommendations: 1) Sales Target should be liquefied based on the performance history of employee and the target should be settled based on the actual and previous performance of the concerns. 2) Department Should Work more to increase the ethics of agents in term of sale for clear and transparency of the capability of inbound employees. SQI Recommendations: Other model can be used for developing SQI. Such as: 1) Individual Customer Retention 2) Duration of problem Solving 3) Customer categorical service etiquette 4) Measurement: First of all, Quality cannot ever be measured with points or marks or some index. For service oriented organization the insight of the customer about the service is the measurement of the quality. GP is already working on that issue but in Operation level it must be implied for better business and bigger retention.

Adherence Recommendation: The Workload in operations of CS is very high and creates a huge stress among the agents. Management should take a step to manage the stress of the people of CS through stress management programmes like outings, meditation programmes, Adherence lower target etc

6.2 Conclusion: Internship in Grameenphone was one of the brightest periods full off excitement, new discovers, ideas, and the most important-an absolutely new environment filled up with new practices and cultures. In school we have common practices which reflect our academia and in organization we got tied up with organizational practices that is assign Company’s corporate culture.

From my view organizational culture is hard to define, but you know it when you observe it and by encouraging ourselves to keep the corporate culture in mind while networking and interviewing , listening to informal comments and being very observant may prevent taking a job in a toxic environment.

Performance management is concerned with communication and involvement. It creates a climate in which a continuing dialogue between managers and the members of their teams takes place to define expectations and share information on the organization’s mission values and objectives. Like all other systems, performance management systems require continuous review and change. Every change and corporate goals or strategies requires modifications in operational priorities while changes in technology or workforce characteristics necessities new ways of working. This means that a performance management system should evolve in response to emerging priorities. Performance management is the tool that gives an organization’s vision a true figure by improving and managing the employee’s performance to get higher efficiency and productivity in the competitive market.

An Intern should try to assess support for professional growth, rate of turn-over, leadership styles, employees' morale, and style of dress, length of the work day, support for life work balance, and the ease and frequency of internal communication. A particular experience through internship gave me a brand new, broader view on me, my opportunities in this world and this world of excellence itself inspired me with a greatest desire for new discovers challenges and professionalism. I believe this fresh experience will help me out in near future while building my career.
