Assignment TakenBCS3-Waste to Wealth

Case Understanding1.Case Understanding In today’s era of rapid growth and demanding sustainability, government have started looking forward to corporate organisations for their support and strategic leadership to achieve their sustainable goals. This eventually drives government to enter in public private partnership (PPP). According to Filipkowska and Węgrzyn (2019) human resource management has a vital role to play in the successful operation of PPP. It further states that whole balance refers to the quality of human resources deployed for achieving the project goals and human resource managers have to put an efficient effort to maintain that balance. Moreover, Pinz et. al (2018) state that importance of public private partnership is increasing to achieve sustainable solutions. Therefore, public private partnerships are perceived as important determinant for achieving sustainable growth with the help of sharing resources such as technologies, skilled manpower and optimised processes. Figure 1Determinants of Public-Private Partnership In context of public private partnership, the above figure depicts that Human resource managers have a responsibility to maintain a balanced engagement and participation among PPP projects, people, and government to achieve the sustainable goals. The current problem which Bhopal city is facing is the solid waste management. The current solid waste management practices of government have become inefficient, financially non-viable and non-availability of land in smaller ULB’s. So, to make waste management practices efficient and financially viable, Madhya Pradesh government has invited private sector companies to participate in ‘Waste to Wealth scheme.’ Our company Eco Gold Ltd. based in Bhopal is dealing into industrial waste management since 1998 and have decided to participate in ‘Waste to Wealth’ scheme of M.P government for Bhopal city. We have decided to expand our operations into solid waste management through a public private partnership with Madhya Pradesh Government. Vision We envision to be a dynamic company in creating sustainable solutions to provide better, safer and healthier life for people with an inclusive focus on women empowerment.

2.2 Training:

 

Training plays an important role in making new hires aware of company culture and its processes. It helps organisations to nurture their workforce and upgrade their skills and efficiency for their respective job roles. According to Rodriguez and Walters (2017), the employee training helps the organisation and employees to achieve their diverse goals, improve employees’ morale, develops sense of security, ownership in them, enhances employee engagement and build necessary competencies in them.

Therefore, keeping in view the importance of training we will also provide training to our unskilled and skilled labours for better achievement of performance goals.

Below is the training plan:

 

2.2.1 Training plan:

2.3 Performance Evaluation:

Various dashboards will be used to evaluate the performance of the skilled and unskilled labourers:

 

The above dashboard will be used to evaluate the performance of employees deployed in Waste to Wealth scheme. This dashboard will provide information about satisfaction of employees’ performance in the field and segregation centre.

 

The above dashboard will be used for monitoring the percentage of household waste collected by the ‘Cleaning Angels’ and this will also help us in understanding their performance by amount of waste collection in the digitized bins. The tracking and monitoring of waste collected in digitized bins will be done through our mobile application.

The HR department will also use the Training dashboard to measure the effectiveness of the training program conducted for the employees. This dashboard will provide information about no. of participants involved in the training, hours of training involved, training cos, subject matter of training and total completed training.

 

2.4 Reward System:

After every 6 months, ‘Cleaning Angels’ and waste segregators, drivers who will perform well will be rewarded by goodies such as clothes and small incentives as a reward to their performance. This rewarding system will further help in motivating the members to increase their performance and eventually their upgraded performance will help in achieving the goal of ‘Waste to Wealth’ scheme

Conclusion3. Conclusion: This is evident from above solution that HR has an immense role to play in public private partnership. The workforce planning of recruiting a fleet of ‘Cleaning Angels’ for door-to-door collection will be of key importance in helping us achieve the sustainable goal. Moreover, the proper training will also help in nurturing and improving the performance of employees. The performance of the employees will be tracked and monitored to ensure enhanced performance delivery and will also prove effective in catering the performance gaps. The human resource management is aligned with the vision of the project and will serve as a catalyst in achieving the waste to wealth mission.
