Independent Television is a 24 hours news channel in Bangladesh. It is a sister concern of
Beximco Group. Independent Television seeks to be Bangladesh’s number one 24
hours news channel, where viewers will find a full spectrum of news and analysis. Independent
Television will carry news, break news and make news through investigative reporting in a way
that is not done before in the country. The organizational structure of Independent Television is
very systematic flowchart. Here, at the top, there is board of directors whose are the key
decision makers of the company. Under board of directors, there are Executive Editor &
Managing Editor.
There are several departments in Independent TV like as Broadcast Technology, Distributions,
Finance and Accounts, Human Resources, Sales & Marketing, CSR, News. Independent
Television treats every employee with dignity and respect in a supportive environment of trust
and openness where people of different backgrounds can reach their full potential. The
organizational human resources policy emphasize on providing job satisfaction, growth
opportunities, and due recognition of superior performance. There are some responsibilities in
HR department like as Short Term HR Planning, Long Term HR Planning, Work and Job
analysis, design and evaluation, Recruitment and Selection, Employee and Management
Training and Development.
In this report I am trying to describe TV channel’s HR department’s corporate entity and want
to show Independent TV in terms of Selection process, Recruitment methods, Recruitment
sources, Training & development programs and Compensation practice.
Before drawing any conclusion based on this report it may be noted that the report was
prepared in a very short term and there is lack in data. But still the report may be useful for TV
channel’s HR department of a corporate entity.
