Conclusion
There are very few government owned organizations in Bangladesh that can earn profit. Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) is one of them. It was established in 1976 with the objective of encouraging and broadening the base of industrial investment. I have completed my internship program in this organization.
Human Resource Management is the set of activities directed at attracting, developing, and maintaining the effective work force necessary to active a firm’s objective. HRM deals with the design of formal systems in an organization to ensure the effective and efficient use of Human talents to accomplish organizational goals. Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) has a human resource department, which is called Personnel Department (PD)
It is true that human resources management is a complex and rapidly developing field of practice in Bangladesh. The PD of ICB tries their best to perform their functions successfully. But their tools and techniques of managing human resources are too much traditional so that they can not perform properly.
