Saad Khawaja Company overview:
Pak Elektron Limited (PEL) is the leading manufacturer of electrical goods in Pakistan. In 1956, the Company was set up by Malik Brothers in technical collaboration with M/s AEG of Germany to manufacture transformers, switch-gear and electric motors. AEG relinquished their share of PEL to the Malik Brothers in the late 1960s, which was subsequently acquired by the Saigol Group of Companies in 1978.
Since its inception, the company has always been contributing towards the advancement and development of the engineering sector in Pakistan by introducing a range of quality electrical equipment and home appliances and by producing hundreds

Both former and contemporary engineers agreed that PEL has incorporated significant skills in them and have equipped them with real life experiences, and has added value to their skill inventory. As a result of this they enjoyed working for PEL but the problem was primarily with pay structure of PEL in comparison to foreign companies and especially Gulf based companies such as Al Otaiba and Al-Futtaim. These companies offer significantly higher pay scales and also provided a window of opportunity to these engineers to explore themselves in more developed economies. In addition to this these companies also provided more growth opportunities since these companies had several divisions other than electronics and hence a huge growth potential for the employees. On top of this, these companies are Gulf based and Gulf has its own charm, which pulls engineers from third world countries like Pakistan. It’s not just the companies polices and compensation plan that makes these engineers leave but the deteriorating law and order situation of the company also adds to the problem of high attrition rate at
After analyzing the reading, a few things seems to be causing this issue. First, Gobias Industries recently underwent a change which made each division a separate entity. The change caused job mobility to plummet. Communication between each division halted. The pool of job opportunities and work location transfers decreased for the employees of each location. Without communication between the divisions, employees found it difficult to hear of job opportunities at other location. The employees became limited to only the opportunities offered at their location. Secondly, the job opportunities at each division also decreased with the introduction of new technology. The technology began taking over the majority of work for many entry-level jobs. The work left for employees to do became low complexity and low effort therefore, were compensated less. The wages for these entry-level jobs became stagnant. These jobs then became boring, less attractive, and scarce. With the decrease in jobs, a decrease in the opportunity for promotion also exist. Thirdly, the new technology also caused job evaluations to become outdated and incorrect. If recruiters are misrepresenting the jobs during recruitment, then employees will be highly unlikely to stay with that job for long especially if the job does not pay well and has little room for promotion. In order to fix the issue of high turnover, Sudden Valley Works needs to redo their job analysis and revamp their recruiting. These solutions will help with job turnover as well as reaching their goals of retention and employment of more women and minority groups. Recruiting should include a broader market and leadership personality assessments. Previous recruiting techniques were targeted at engineers with the highest GPAs however, with the new technology, a high-level of educated employees are not longer needed. A high
After reviewing the ELL’s interview for semantic errors, I realized the student would leave out or misuse pronouns while answering interview questions. When the student talks about his little brother staying at home, he interchangeably uses the words he/she. At times, the student would also make semantic errors when using negative contractions. During the interview, the most common error made was the uses the word don instead of don’t. For example, “I’m thinking, I don know….”. He errors when using negative semantics when answering the question, “Do you know what you want to be when you grow up”.

In November 1997, the acquisition of APL by NOL was successful. As compared to the larger US based APL; NOL was a small Singapore firm. Through this acquisition, it appeared that NOL was ready to become an industry leader in the shipping industry. Thus this acquisition is a strategy through which NOL buys a controlling, 100 per cent, interest in APL with the intent of making the acquired firm a subsidiary business within its portfolio. Thus APL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore based NOL, a global transportation and logistics company engaged in shipping and related businesses.
The main problem the company is facing nowadays is the high turnover ratio closed to an average of 30% on the past three years. The fact that the company is based in an area where many of its closest competitors have offices facilitates employee’s movements from one job to another. This high turnover is mainly affecting positions among the electrical engineers in the R&D department.
Whether an organization consists of five or 25,000 employees, human resources management is vital to the success of the organization. HR is important to all managers because it provides managers with the resources – the employees – necessary to produce the work for the managers and the organization. Beyond this role, HR is capable of becoming a strong strategic partner when it comes to “establishing the overall direction and objectives of key areas of human resource management in order to ensure that they not only are consistent with but also support the achievement of business goals.” (Massey, 1994, p. 27)
Changing Roles. Traditionally, HR has been an administrative position-processing paperwork, benefits, hiring and firing, and compensation. However, recently HRM has moved from a traditional to a strategic role, the emphasis is on catering to the needs of consumers and workers. Before, HR was seen as the enemy and employees believed that HR’s main purpose was to protect management. Now, the position requires HRM to be more people oriented and protect their human capitol, the staff. In addition, human resource management has to be business savvy and think of themselves as strategic partners in the 21st century.
Human resource management (HRM) encompasses the activities of acquiring, maintaining, and developing the organization's employees (human resources).

Human Resource Management focuses on personnel related areas such as job design, resource planning, performance management system, recruitment, selection, compensations and employee relations (Marquardt 2004, p.2).

human resources are uniquely important in sustained business success. An organization gains competitive advantage by using its people effectively, drawing on their expertise and ingenuity to meet clearly defined objectives.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is fundamentally another name for personnel management. It is the process of making sure the employees are as creative as they can be. HRM is a way of grouping the range of activities associated with managing people that are variously categorised under employee relations, industrial/labour relations, personnel management and organisational behaviour. Many academic departments where research and teaching in all these areas take place have adopted the title department of human resources management. HRM is a coordinated approach to managing people that seeks to integrate the various personnel activates so that they are compatible with each other. Therefore the key areas of employee resourcing, employee development, employee reward and employee involvement are considered to be interrelated. Policy-making and procedures in one of these areas will have an impact on other areas, therefore human resources management is an approach that takes a holistic view and considers how various areas can be integrated.
