Its economy depends mostly on agriculture. In the earliest period jute and tea industry were very raising industry. But the scenario is changed. Now our economy mostly depends on Ready Made Garments industry. Apart from garments industry Pharmaceuticals industry is a raising industry in Bangladesh. So the scenario is changing.
Now there are 225 registered pharmaceutical companies in our country. Most of them are local, but there are also some multinational and joint venture companies operating their business in our country. They are also contributing to earn foreign exchange in our country. Renata is one of the most leading pharmaceuticals company in Bangladesh. Its corporate headquarters is at plot no- 1, milk vita road, sec- 7, mirpur and it has two production sites (one is at Mirpur and another is at Rajendrapur). Modern sophisticated machineries and highly qualified and skilled professionals are the main instrument for this Renata’s success.
In this report we have gone through the overall HR policies and practices of Renata Limited. Renata’s HR functions like Recruitment & Selection, Training & Development, Compensation & Benefit and Employee Relation are very systematic and legal. Renata always tries to recruit efficient candidates for the vacant position. They provide management development training, overseas training, and Field forces training and development program, manager training, training program for distribution assignments and data entry operations, on the job training and off the job training, basic training and advanced training etc.
Renata concentrates on employee development as well. They provide appropriate compensation and benefits like basic salary, over time, gratuity, different types of bonus etc. I have found that Renata’s HR policies and practices are systemic and sound enough but yet there are some problems like (few misunderstanding, lack of appropriate training to reduce faults). Remove misunderstanding and provide training and appropriate compensation when any accident occurs, authority should cooperate their employees to the problems. I think that is the way they should follow to improve and expand its business.

So we have to depend on the pharmaceuticals companies. There are many types’ pharmaceuticals in our country. However, private and public pharmaceutical is the most common in this field. Pharmaceutical industry of Bangladesh is one of the most raising high tech industry’s which contributes in the country’s economy. After the promulgation of drug control ordinance – 1982, the development of the sector was accelerated. The professional knowledge, thoughts and innovative ideas of the pharmacists working in this industry is the key factors for these developments.
Due to recent development of the industry we are exporting medicine to global market including European market. The sector is also providing 95% of the total medicine requirements of the local market. Leading pharmaceutical companies are expanding their business with the aim to expand export markets. Recently fewer new industries have been established with high tech equipment and professionals which will enhance the strength of this sector. Bangladesh, currently having more than a couple of hundred manufacturing facilities with huge potential in pharmaceutical formulations, is heading on a new path of industry economics for self reliance.
Aiming at minimizing the import dependency on basic drugs, the country’s prime concern is about building up of own capability in the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, base materials and other Allied industry inputs. The pharmaceutical sector is capturing near about 12% of market capitalization which is the second largest. This position also indicates the positive sign for investment in pharmaceutical sector. The combined capacity of the industry for the pharmaceutical formulation is huge and a number of companies have recently got approval from UNICEF as its global as well as local supplier of pharmaceutical products.
Besides, out of the total domestic requirement of medicines almost 95% is met by the local manufacturing and Bangladesh also exports formulations to 27 countries around the world. The current turnover of the industry in Bangladesh is TK. 3000 crore. According to industry sources, the formulation industry in Bangladesh country grow and the rate of 22%. Today, Bangladesh is dealing with USA, India, Taiwan, Hong Kong, European Union, Singapore, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Burma, Nepal, Yemen, Vietnam, Mexico, Colombia, Russia, Kenya, Maldives etc. s well as with the least developing countries where there is hardly any industry for the production of pharmaceutical formulations. Total turnover is about 14% from pharmaceutical industry. This position also indicates the positive sign for investment in pharmaceutical sector. However, the trend is now favorable to the country as the domestic pharmaceutical industry as well as the companies from neighboring countries like India, China and even MNCs have queued up to put in investment on this front as every stakeholder will be benefitted of vast potential that Bangladesh can offer.
The local entrepreneurs are capable and willing to invest and collaborate with suitable foreign partners in order to develop the existing API manufacturing facilities. According to S M Shafiuzzaman, president of Bangladesh Association of Pharmaceutical Industries (BAPI), since 1972 the association has been the only recognized association for pharmaceutical manufacturers of Bangladesh playing pivotal role in the development of pharmaceutical sector.
The apex and premier pharmaceutical trade and promotion body of Bangladesh has been very actively working on the industry development programs to enhance the existing capabilities and also to promote the countries industrial opportunities among the developed world by attract perspective collaborators in terms of technology, product sourcing infrastructure etc. Presently top pharmaceutical industries in Bangladesh are also in the progress of getting into bulk drug production with collaborative technology, technology transfer and joint venture basis. The large scale players in Bangladesh 5 HR Practices in Renata Limited harmaceutical industry currently include Square, Beximco, Incepta, Opsonin pharma ltd, Apson chemicals, General pharma, Hudson pharma among others.

The selection decision has always been important as the way for a company to obtain the human resource that is appropriate for the job and company.
Renata created selection criteria to make the selection procedure easier. Developing good selection criteria is a very useful technique for outlining the particular needs of the department for a particular position. This process makes the selection procedure much easier, specific, straight forwarder and less subjective. The three standards followed in Renata are explained below: Job Relatedness Job relatedness means that every standard must be specifically connected to the work to be performed on the job. All qualifications used to screen applicants in the hiring process are directly related to the job being filled.
If, for example, there is a requirement for a bachelor’s degree, that standard is shown directly related to the position. A candidate with a Ph. D. (in a field not directly related to the position being filled) would not be more qualified than an applicant with a bachelor degree in a related field. If specific knowledge of budget procedures is given as a requirement, the position must require the application or use of that knowledge. Measurability Minimum qualifications and selection criteria is always measurable and demonstrable.
That means they can be measured objectively or clearly demonstrated by the applicant or the applicant’s past history. If a selection criterion called for “maturity” or “attitude,” there might be many interpretations of what those standards mean. Therefore it would be very difficult to measure the applicant against those vague criteria. A standard such as “demonstrated ability to work effectively with supervisors, peers, subordinates,” would much more closely fit the requirement of measurability and demonstrability. Demonstration of this agility is verified through references, letters of recommendation, and checks with previous employers.
Even a criterion such as “good typist” is not as easily measurable as “ability to type 60 words a minute with only three errors. ” Successful Completion of Work Criteria listed as minimum qualifications or selection criteria must be necessary to perform the work successfully. If a bachelor’s degree is given as a requirement for the job, but it cannot be demonstrated that the actual degree is necessary for the performance of the job, then a criterion like bachelor’s degree or equivalent” is used instead. Relevance and quality of education may be considered in the selection process but must be shown to e necessary for the particular job at hand. 13 HR Practices in Renata Limited 3. 4. 11 Selection Tools Managing Director or The Chief Executive Officer has sole authority for any selection without any competitive examination.
