In this phase, the new recruited employees are introduced to their workplace, their work colleagues and their role in that organisation. Usually, every company does an induction/ orientation programme since every candidate has their own prospective (Anon 2016c). In every organisation the induction usually take place in the first day where all the information regarding the company and business code of conduct are provided to the employees.TrainingTraining is the process of providing extra knowledge, skills, attitudes or social behaviour to the staffs so as to perform the job more efficiently, effectively and skilfully as per the elan and technological change in the market. Since, training takes lots of effort and time, it is very important for an organisation to think regarding the need and objective while providing training to their staffs since high qualified professionals are used.(Anon 2016a)CoachingCoaching is a technique where the managers act as a coach and guides its sub-ordinated through their experience and knowledge. (Anon 2016b). Coaching can also be defined as a facility that is granted by the higher(prenominal) level to their subordinates so as to help them to touch their goals, develop their own personal strategy and improve their efficiency of doing the work (SEGERS et al. 2011). Hence, it is the way of achieving through daily feedbacks and communication of the staffs.Performance ReviewPerformance review helps keep track of all the activities and achievements of the employees, thus helping employees stay motivated. Periodic performance review helps employees know how they are doing in terms of their performance and motivat es them to do better. It also helps them learn their weakness and how they should improve them. Thus, performance review helps in achieving high performance. Hence, performance = employee ability, motivation and opportunity to infix. (Boselie et al. 2005)RewardsRewards are the benefits that an employee deserves after his/her excellent performance in an organisation. Rewards can either be financially or non-financially, financial reinforcer includes salary increment, bonus, allowance, etc. whereas non-financial reward includes accommodation, insurance, etc. Every employee joins an organisation with an expectation of getting reward as per their performance(2017).However, these include linkages with performance expectations inPositive terms (merit review)Neutral consequences (lateral reassignment to improve person/job match)Negative outcomes such as progressively stronger discuss sessionsSuccession PlanningIt is an implication that identifies the problems, reviews it and works on the problems along with their best employees so as to meet performance expectations for a job different from the one she/he currently holds with greater responsibility. It helps to boosts its employee morale by providing them the position as their performance. Hence, succession planning is done so as to fill the vacant position. (Anon 2016d) race Development ProgramsCareer Development Program is carried out by every organisations so as to develop individual capability so as to achieve their future goal and career. Since it fulfils the requirement of both employee and organisation it has been an important need for both of the parties.(Anon 2015) An effective Career Development ProgramIs critical for the retention of choice performers.Builds internal bench strength, reduces costs associated with outside hires, and maintains continuity in overall performance of the organization.Today, as per the change in the economic, cultural, environmental and political status, it is a challenge t hing for any organisation to establish as well as maintain a goal to achieve an affective loading from their new employees. jibe to Sayeed (1989) the personal character, role related factors and structural factors are the board antecedents of organisations commitment. Allen et al. (1990) says that organisational commitment is either affective or emotional attachment towards the organisation. (Kumari Afroz 2013)In this technological era, it has brought up many changes in the working environment of the people. People not only seek good working condition but also seek higher income, benefits, commitment, etc. So as to get achieve a commitment from their employee an organisation needs to fulfil every employee needs. However, a company can achieve an affective commitment through its employee by their employees psychological state such as (Anon n.d.) (Jaaron 2009) affectional CommitmentContinuance CommitmentNormative CommitmentAffective commitmentIt is the emotional attachment of an em ployee towards its organisation. Here, he/she doesnt fear of any losses but strictly follows the company rules and regulations and states the organisations goals and objective.Continuance CommitmentSome employee fears that by go forth the job they might face problems such as low salary, pension, low allowance, working environment, etc. due to which they get stuck to their job thinking that their change in job might create trouble in their life. Hence, these type of commitment is more seen in higher level staff as they are already established in the particular company and fear to lose the position.Normative CommitmentIt is a thinking of the employee that he must work in the organisation. Here, he/she feels that it is their responsibility to work in that organisation. There might be several reasons of an employee to view as such commitment such as the company might reward them by paying their education or it might be their own perception to do so.However, it is very much important f or an organisation to gain the commitment from their employees so as to increase their level of quality and performance.Culture is the characteristic of particular group of people that belongs to certain part of religion, place and language (Zimmermann et al. 2015). A agriculture may vary from the people of same or different country. For an organisation, it is a must to understand the culture of the host country and should be neighborly with the consumers. They should be updated regarding the potential business challenges to overcome the competitive market. Following can be the issues on cross cultural management (PGPExecutive 2015)AmbiguityPeople have their own way of thinking, doing, talking or seeing. A word can have several meanings, for example a person can utter a word that might be the same language as of the another but the other person might take it differently which increases mis catch in the midst of the people. Likely, every culture has its own unique value, and might be reluctant in adapting new culture in the host country. Hence, ambiguity creates an incorrect purview within an information that one wants to deliver to the listener.Inflexible attitudeThere are some people who go to the host country and hesitate to participate in their culture which gives an impression that they are not comfortable with the environment that the host country is providing. Showing this kind of behaviour will hamper the person rather than the host because he/she is the one to lose the team and destroy the relationship of the business with the host country.EthnocentrismIt is the perception of the people where they think that their own culture is correct. Even though these kinds of people are sent to the host country they dont try to accept the new culture. Rather, they start judging the host countries culture on the basis of their own culture. However, these issues can be corrected by followingBy understanding the communication style of host cultureBy understanding the cultural valuesBy developing the right competenciesIt is obvious that an organisation faces challenges during their working period. There are several challenges that Khajurico Nepal Pvt. Ltd. should follow upCustomer human ecologyCustomer demography denotes the age, sex, gender, income, race, status, etc. which helps the organisation to target their customer. KNPL should not only understand the demography of the customers but also needs to understand what exactly the company needs to do inorder to maintain relation with their potential customer (Staff 2017)works cultureThe working culture of an organisation may vary from its host country. Working culture is the surrounding of the company on how the company treats their employees and how their employee follows the principles and guidelines of the organisation. An organisation having a good working culture directly influences the staffs to work well with their colleagues. (Anon n.d.)Political hold outThe political issues can bot h be internal and external. External issues include the following (Contributor 2015)Governments tax policy which can fluctuate at any given time affecting the companys targeted profit, goals and objectives.CorruptionEffects of pressure groups leading to change in governments policy which might affect the production.Trade controlHence, if such issues occurs KNPL should either ask for compensation with the host country or purchase political risk insurance ( it doesnt guarantee that the company will get its compensation through insurance as soon as the event occurs) (Phung 2006).The internal issues occur within the organisation. It might include the followingStrike by trade unions for not meeting their demandsAutocracyDisregarding employee performance because of the fear of being replaced by top leaders.Hence, if the internal issue occurs KNPL should organise frequent meeting between the staffs and the management, bear upon opportunities should be given as per their level of performan ce and the management should have a flexible approach towards the employees feedback.
