Equal opportunities for women in training & development: a case study in BRAC Bank

Abstract

BBL has earned respect not only inside Bangladesh but globally for its extraordinary performance within the whole private banking sector. This was easier for them to accomplish, because of their brilliant human resources that are constantly working hard for it. As I got to work with the Learning & Development Department of BBL and could see the training procedures closely, so I decided to write my report on “Equal Opportunity for Women in Training and Development: A Case Study in BRAC Bank”. The L&D department follows a particular training structure and every employee on BBL undergoes various training program from orientation trainings to specific information based training so that they could perform better in order to attain organizational goal. BBL ensures appropriate training courses, comfortable training environment, excellent trainers and proper training evaluation process for both men and women. The major objective of my report was to enlightening about the L&D initiatives taken by BBL for the women employees and for the women all around the country. How well BBL have served their women employees with their training system, what trainings they have designed so far for them and what are the benefits they provide their female employees throughout the training process. To gather detailed information about previous trainings, I have consulted with my supervisor and other members of L&D team and also used my experience of few conversations with the trainees during my internship period. Lastly, I suggested few key areas by observing the overall scenario that they should focus further in order to have a more fruitful outcome from the women. BBL is working continuously to enhance their position more in the global economy and to sustain to their position and grow more. To make it happen the L&D department holds the responsibility of ensuring quality employees in the organization to maintain consistency. I hope this report will come to assistance for L&D in order to develop their strategy for future.
