ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
As a requirement during the two years fulltime MBA, I feel to be greatly honored for
having done my project work at Bharti Axa life insurance company. The sole efforts of any
individual are not sufficient enough to complete the Project. The completion of a project
involves the effort and interest of many people. The guidance and co-operation received during
my training have left a indelible imprint in my mind and after giving a final shape to my project
report, I think it would be unwise if I don’t acknowledge the help of rendered to me by several
members of Bharti Axa life family, with whom I came across during my stay here.
First, I thankfully acknowledge the continuous support and inspiration given to me by my project
guide Ms. Silky Sehdev who was always there to give my spirits a boost.
I am also indebted to Ms. Meenakshi Koul and for giving me the opportunity to carry out my
project work at Bharti Axa life.
I wish to express my gratitude to my respected teachers for their dedicated support and rich
source of information which made my work much easier and understandable.
Ultimately I am grateful to my family members, friends and all my well wishers whose blessings
constantly guide me through all spheres of my life.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project is about Recruitment and Selection of Life Advisors. The project was undertaken by
me and the entire task was divided into sub-tasks. The process started from identifying the need,
then advertising the same to prospective individuals by distribution of pamphlets, holding
various activities in residential areas etc. then individuals were surveyed. The questionnaire was
designed in such a manner that it gave a general idea about the ability and capability of
respondent as a prospective life insurance advisor. Certain scores were allotted depending on the
answers given by the respondent. Those who were high on the scores were motivated to visit the
office for conduction of their interview. After the successful completion of interview individuals
were informed if they were selected for training of Life advisors. They were asked to fill the
NAAF form and a fee was collected from them along with their photographs. After successful
completion of training an exam was conducted and those who qualified the exam were selected
as life advisors.
The project report submitted here covers theory on recruitment and Selection, flowchart of
activities undertaken for recruitment data analysis of the survey and a list of suggestions and
recommendations for the company at the end of the entire study.

Recruitment and Selection
Recruitment and selection are two of the most important functions of personnel
management. Recruitment precedes selection and helps in selecting a right candidate.
Recruitment is a process to discover the sources of manpower to meet the requirement of the
staffing schedule and to employ effective measures for attracting that manpower in adequate
numbers to facilitate effective selection of efficient personnel.
Staffing is one basic function of management. All managers have responsibility of
staffing function by selecting the chief executive and even the foremen and supervisors have a
staffing responsibility when they select the rank and file workers. However, the personnel
manager and his personnel department is mainly concerned with the staffing function.
Every organisation needs to look after recruitment and selection in the initial period and
thereafter as and when additional manpower is required due to expansion and development of
business activities.
‘Right person for the right job’ is the basic principle in recruitment and selection. Ever
organisation should give attention to the selection of its manpower, especially its managers. The
operative manpower is equally important and essential for the orderly working of an enterprise.
Every business organisation/unit needs manpower for carrying different business activities
smoothly and efficiently and for this recruitment and selection of suitable candidates are
essential. Human resource management in an organisation will not be possible if unsuitable
persons are selected and employment in a business unit.

MEANING
RECRUITMENT
Recruitment means to estimate the available vacancies and to make suitable arrangements for their selection and appointment. Recruitment is understood as the process of searching for and obtaining applicants for the jobs, from among whom the right people can be selected.
A formal definition states, “It is the process of finding and attracting capable applicants for the employment. The process begins when new recruits are sought and ends when their applicants are submitted. The result is a pool of applicants from which new employees are selected”. In this, the available vacancies are given wide publicity and suitable candidates are encouraged to submit applications so as to have a pool of eligible candidates for scientific selection.
In recruitment, information is collected from interested candidates. For this different source such as newspaper advertisement, employment exchanges, internal promotion, etc. are used.
In the recruitment, a pool of eligible and interested candidates is created for selection of most suitable candidates. Recruitment represents the first contact that a company makes with potential employees
Definition:
According to EDWIN FLIPPO, “Recruitment is the process of searching for
prospective employees and stimulating them to apply for jobs in the
organization.”

Recruitment Process
SELECTION
Selection is defined as the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those with a greater likelihood of success in a job.
Selection is basically picking an applicant from (a pool of applicants) who has the appropriate qualification and competency to do the job.
The difference between recruitment and selection:
Recruitment is identifying and encouraging prospective employees to apply for a job.
And Selection is selecting the right candidate from the pool of applicants.

Reality check
Insurance industry
Insurance industry is a booming sector. The business of insurance is related to the protection of
the economic value of asset. Every asset has a value. The asset would have been created through
the efforts of the owner, in the expectation that, either through the income generated there from
or some other output, some of his needs would be met. There is a normally expected life time for
the asset during which time it is expected to perform. Insurance is a mechanism that helps to
reduce such as adverse consequences.
WHAT IS INSURANCE?
Basic aim of the insurance plan satisfies the following objectives:-
Protection of economic value of assets.
Mechanism to reduce impact of adverse events on value generating assets.
Types of insurance
Insurance is generally classified into three main categories:
1. Life Insurance.
2. Health Insurance.
3. General Insurance.
To get insurance an individual or an organization can approach to Insurance Company directly,
through Insurance agent of the concerned company or through intermediaries.

INSURANCE IN INDIA
The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive market to
nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the development in the
insurance sector release the 360 degree turn witnessed over a period of almost two centuries.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LIFE INSURANCE SECTOR
INSURANCE SECTOR REFORMS
In 1993, Malhotra committee, headed by former finance secretary and RBI governor R.N
Malhotra was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommended its future
directions. The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing the
reforms initiated in the financial sector. The reforms were aimed at “creating a more efficient
and competitive financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind
the structural changes currently underway and recognizing that insurance is a important part of
overall financial system so it was necessary to address the need for similar reforms…”.In 1994,
the committee submitted the report and some of the key recommendation included:
I) STRUCTURE
Government’s stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%.
Government should take over the holding of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these
subsidiaries can act as Independent Corporation.
All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate
II) COMPETITION
Private companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs 1bn should be allowed to enter
the industry.
No Company should deal in both life and general insurance through a single entity.
Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the
domestic companies.
Postal life insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market.
11 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
Only one state level life insurance company should be allowed to operate in
each state.
III) REGULATORY BODY
The insurance act should be changed
An insurance regulatory body should be setup.
Controller of insurance “currently a part from the finance ministry”. Should be made
independent.
IV) INVESTMENTS
Mandatory investments of LIC life fund in government security to be reduced from 75%
to 50%.
GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5%in any company (There current
holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of time).
V) CUSTOMER SERVICE
LIC should pay interest in delays in payments beyond 30 days.
Insurance company should be encouraged to setup unit linked pension plans.
Computerization of operations and updating of technologies to be carried out in the
insurance industry.
The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase
the coverage of the insurance industry should be opened up to competition.
But at the same time, the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the
part of new players could ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was
decided to allow competition in a limited.
Opportunities in Insurance sector
12 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
The varieties of constraints put on it by its owner, viz the government, was both a
reason as well as an alibi for the under performance of the nationalized insurance sector. Now
that restrictive government policies are being given up and public sector units are being
empowered to make independent decisions, they should be more free to decide their own grown
path. it should also be possible for them to prove their potential strength by exploiting the
tremendous opportunities such as the following – substantial potential for growth; exploring
untapped niche areas; and forming limited joint ventures with suitable partners .Easy access to
developments in the more advanced markets provide further opportunities to upgrade their
working .Technological, financial or specific areas-based avenues of absorbing improved
systems are also now more easily available.
The expectation that private sector entrants would necessarily take time to secure a
foothold in the market was in itself an opportunity. In practice, Insurance undergone rapid and
massive changes in all aspects: product and services, sectoral structure, market segmentation,
competitive environment. It is believed that the information sharing has not taken its expected
shape in the insurance industry for the purposes of practices, research and education. However,
data is one of the most needed ingredients in the insurance business development as well as for
research and consultancy. There have been regular efforts by IRDA for collection and sharing of
the data and other information of public interest. The industry is facing problems in terms of data
review as parliament need to register this beforehand. We believe that progress of the industry
should not be constrained by any extraneous conditions in the interest of research and
development in the area.
Manpower India today released the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey for the first quarter
of 2008 revealing sustained positive hiring intentions of employers in India. India continues to
lead all 23 countries surveyed this quarter, with a positive overall Net Employment Outlook of
+27%. Even though this figure represents a decrease of 13 percentage points from the fourth
quarter of 2007, the employment outlook remains extremely healthy. For the first time since the
Survey was launched in India, the Finance, Insurance and Retail industry sector emerged as the
most optimistic sector for a quarter with a Net Employment Outlook of +32%, surpassing the
Services sector.
13 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
Privatization of insurance sector has allowed insurance companies to work in the
market by depositing 100 crore rupees in the reserve of government. This has encouraged many
overseas insurance companies, having a required amount in their reserve, to open their branch in
our country. Introduction of the sector has changed the employment pattern, but people must
know how to make profit from it. To be in the global market and have advantage of it, capital
and skill as per the demand and knowledge of market is the requirement. It is necessary that
institutions, which form a part of this financial system, have internal management, governance
and accountability structures, which measure up to the highest standards.
Threats in insurance sector
These opportunities will of course be accompanied by some threats in the competitive market,
and maybe of the following nature.
Private entrants are naturally targeting the more profitable and the more lucrative
segments, by providing better service, new products and flexibility .They are targeting the bigger
corporate and other clients in the well established metropolitan centers. These new entrants have
succeeded in eating into share of the existing entities. This share will increase substantially, if
not in the immediate future, but in the long run, if the existing incumbents do not radically alter
marketing structure and practices.
No doubt complaints have been voiced that the means followed by atleast some of them been
less than fair. Some of these may well be true, but such practices can produce only short term
gains .Ultimately, the services provided will decide whether the threat of losing the market share
will come true, and in a competitive market, mere complaining does not help.

THE INSURANCE REGULATORY AND DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY (IRDA)
Reforms in the insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA bill in parliament in
December 1999.The IRDA since it’s incorporation as a statuary body in April 2000 has
fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulation and registering the private sector
insurance companies.
The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the insurance
sector and in particular the life insurance companies were the launch of IRDA’s online service
for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of institutions for imparting training to
agents has also insured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce of trained
insurance agents in place to sell their products, which are expected to introduce by early next
year.
Since being setup as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a framework of globally
compatible regulations. In the private sector 13 life insurance and 9 general insurance companies
have been registered.
Composition of Authority under IRDA Act, 1999
As per the section 4 of IRDA Act' 1999, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority
(IRDA, which was constituted by an act of parliament) specify the composition of
Authority. The Authority is a ten member team consisting of:-
(a) A Chairman
(b) five whole-time members
(c) four part-time members
(all appointed by the Government of India)

ROLE OF INSURANCE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Insurance directly or indirectly plays a vital role in the economic development of the country
through the following means:-
Life insurance is a major instrument in mobilizing the savings of the people. These
savings are channeled into investments for economic groups.
The strength of life insurance is in the fact that huge amounts are collected and pooled
together for the benefit of the policy holders.
The insurance company is in the role of fiduciary- that all decision be made for the
benefit of the community.

Meaning of Recruitment
Finding the right people is a make-or-break factor for success in business today. Recruiting the top talent for a job takes time and you have to attract quality candidates who have the knowledge and skills needed to help your company grow.
The fact is, your success with recruitment depends on how well you prepare your job ad, and use source of recruitment, and your interviewing skills.
Prepare a job ad that works to start, you want to be sure that your potential candidate truly understands the job. The clearer you are with the task description, working conditions and advantages, the less time you will waste examining and rejecting applications
The essentials of any job description are:
A brief description of your company
Detailed outline of the tasks involved
Qualifications and experience required
Equipment and resources used to do the work
Skills required using them.
However, you should also include work benefits (e.g., vacation, travel and perks), general working conditions (e.g., scheduling, outside work) and the specific traits required (e.g., teambuilding and communications skills). Ultimately, you want to be perceived as an attractive employer in a competitive market.
Find the right recruitment vehicle choose the vehicle that best works for your company, depending on your budget and resources.
Word of mouth, or simply telling your employees, friends and colleagues about a job opening, is a less expensive strategy but generates fewer candidates. The advantage is that you already know something about your recruiters and their skills, knowledge and achievements. This is a preferred method with companies that have a finder's fee program for their employees.
27 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
Advertising is a toss of the dice. If it goes well, it can help you find ideal candidates in a regional, national, or international pool. If not, it's a costly investment yielding few results. Make sure to factor in the time it takes to go through a large number of resumes.
Employment agencies cost more but generally provide a good range of candidates. The employment advisors look at your needs, screen a number of candidates, and only send you the applications that meet your requirements. Bear in mind that the largest employment agencies do not necessarily offer the best choice of candidates. There are numerous agencies that specialize in recruitment in specific sectors.
Recruiting online such as monster.com, naukri.com & timesjob.com. These can provide inexpensive, worldwide access to employees. In fact, 65% of job seekers now have access to these types of services. Using the Internet for recruiting usually involves regular visits to specialized recruitment sites, joining newsgroups, and posting your job openings on recruitment sites, electronic publications and on your own Web site.

30 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
After recruitment the next part is selection of best candidates.
Make the interview deliverSince the purpose of an interview is to identify and verify the candidate's potential, it should be structured to bring out all the desired competencies and aptitudes. Remember that you have to decide between the candidates: you could create a point system or analysis grid for comparing their strengths and weaknesses.
Here are a few points to consider when structuring an interview:
Make a list in advance of the points for discussion and corresponding questions.
Present the candidates with a situation they could face on the job and ask them how they would react. This will enable you to evaluate the candidates' knowledge, skills and work methods.
Ask the candidates to describe some difficult situations encountered in previous jobs and to explain the way in which they were resolved. This will give you the chance to gauge the candidates' self-confidence, creativity and problem-solving skills.
Ask the candidates to describe a difficult situation involving colleagues and how it was resolved. This will enable you to test their aptitude for teamwork.
Ask the candidates about their ambitions and plans to ensure they fit your company profile.
Beware of asking questions about personal interests. They can get the interview off track or annoy people who want to keep their work and private lives separate.

Definition of Agent
According to section 182 of Indian contracts Act, an “agent” is a person employed to do any
act for another or to represent another in dealing with a third person. In the insurance industry,
the term “agent” is ordinarily applied to a person engaged by the insurer to procure new
business. The insurance Act definers and insurance agent as one who is licensed under Section
42 of that Act and is paid by way of commission or otherwise, in consideration of his
soliciting of procuring insurance business, including business relating to the continuance,
renewal or revival of policies of insurance. He is, for all purposes, an authorized salesman for
insurance and needs a license.
An agent is one who acts on behalf of another. The “another” on whose behalf the agent acts,
is called the principal in this case. The insurance company is the principal in this case. The
lawyer is the agent of the client, when he argues the case in court. An ambassador is an agent
of his country. The agent represents the principal and acts on his behalf. Some insurers
designate their agents as ‘advisers”,” consultants” etc. as if they are independent advisor or
consultant would not be appointed by an insurance company. He would be knowledgeable
enough as a person to be approached for advice or consultation. Some insurance agents may
acquire that status. All insurance agents should strive to attain that status.
Procedure for becoming an Agent
The insurance Act, 1938 lays down that an insurance agent must possess a licence under Section
42 of that Act. The licence is to be issued by the IRDA. The IRDA has authorized designated
persons, in each insurance company, to issue the licences on behalf of the IRDA.
In terms of the Insurance Act, a licences will not be given if the person is

The Qualifications necessary before a licence can be given are that the person must be

(b) Have passed at least Graduation or equivalent examination, if he is to be appointed in a
place with a population of 5,000 or more.
(c) Have undergone practical training for at least 50 hours in life or general insurance
business, as the case may be, form an institution, approved and notified by the IRDA. IN
the case of a person wanting to become a composite insurance agent, the applicant
should have completed at least 75 hours practical training in life and general insurance
business, which may be spread over six to eight weeks.
(d) Have passed the pre-recruitment examination conducted by the insurance institute of
India or any other examination body authorized by the IRDA.
The licence once issued, can be cancelled whenever the person acquires a disqualification.

either the renewal fee of Rs.250. If the application is not made at least thirty days before the
expiry, but is made before the date of expiry of licence, an additional fee of Rs.100 is payable . If
the application is made after the date of expiry, it would be normally being refused.
Prior to renewal of the licence, the agent should have completed at least 25 hours practical
training in life or general insurance business or at least 50 hours practical training in life and
general insurance business in the case of a composite insurance agent.

SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
1) INTERNAL 2) EXTERNAL
INTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
Internal Recruitment is a recruitment which takes place within the concern or organization. Internal sources of recruitment are readily available to an organization. Internal sources are primarily three – Transfers, promotions and Re-employment of ex-employees. Re-employment of ex-employees is one of the internal sources of recruitment in which employees can be invited and appointed to fill vacancies in the concern. There are situations when ex-employees provide unsolicited applications also.
1. TRANSFERS
The employees are transferred from one department to another according to their efficiency and experience.
2. PROMOTIONS
The employees are promoted from one department to another with more benefits and greater responsibility based on efficiency and experience.
3. UPGRADING & DEMOTIONS
Upgrading and Demotion of present employees according to their performance.
4. RETIRED & RETRENCHED EMPLOYEES
Retired and Retrenched employees may also be recruited once again in case of shortage of qualified personnel or increase in load of work. Recruitment of such people saves time and costs of the organizations as the people are already aware of the organizational culture and the policies and procedures.
5. DEPENDENTS AND RELATIVES OF DECEASED EMPLOYEES
37 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
The dependents and relatives of Deceased employees and Disabled employees are also done by many companies so that the members of the family do not become dependent on the mercy of others.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT
External recruitment seeks applicants for positions from sources outside the company. The various external sources include:
1. PLACEMENT AGENCIES
Several private consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf of client companies by charging a fee. These agencies are particularly suitable for recruitment of executives and specialists. It is also known as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing)
2. EMPLOYEE REFERRAL/RECOMMENDATION
Many organizations have structured system where the current employees of the organisation can refer their friends and relatives for some position in their organisation. Also, the office bearers of trade unions are often aware of the suitability of candidates. Recruitment Management can inquire these leaders for suitable jobs. In some organizations these are formal agreements to give priority in recruitment to the candidates recommended by the trade union.
3. WALK-IN, WRITE-INS & TALK-INS
Many job seekers visit the office of well-known companies on their own. Such callers are considered nuisance to the daily work routine of the enterprise. But can help in creating the talent pool or the database of the probable candidates for the organisation.
4. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES
Various management institutes, engineering colleges etc. are a good source of recruiting well qualified executives, engineers etc. They provide facilities for campus interviews and placements. This source is known as Campus Recruitment.
5. JOB PORTALS
With the advent of the Internet, searching for candidates has acquired a whole new dimension. Web portals dedicated to finding jobs have been setup. The candidates key in their details and post their resumes. Employers have to just browse through these resumes or use the site search engine to list out people with specific skills. Bharti Axa mostly uses timesjob.com for recruiting candidates.
38 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
6. CANDIDATE CALLING
A call is made directly to the concerned candidate and after that they are asked whether they have any work experience or not. After knowing whether a candidate is fresher or experienced an interview call is offered to him/her accordingly for various posts such as F.E, F.O & M.O.A.
FINDINGS
One thing which I observed when I was under training that Bharti Axa depends heavily on Recruitment Agencies i.e Consultancies for the recruitment of candidates. Consultancies contribute maximum percentage of share in recruiting candidates. A call is made from the company side to an individual working in a consultancy then he/she is asked for the line-up for that particular day.
If a candidate is selected through a consultancy then that particular consultancy gets a fixed amount of money. In case of Financial Executive, consultancy gets Rs 7,500 and in the case of Financial Officer it gets Rs 10,000.
A consultant acts as a very important external source of recruitment providing Candidates who will be future employees of the organisation and will help it in establishment and growth. They do primary screening of candidates as they are well aware of the requirements of the client companies thereby saving time.
Generally, maximum footfall is on monday and least on saturday of every week.
Here it can be seen clearly that Consultant is the most effective source of recruitment in Bharti Axa. It is one of the most expensive source but still
39 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
CONSULTANCY:- 64%, 105
JOB PORTALS:- 22%, 36
WALK INS:- 7%, 11
EMPLOYEE REFERRAL:- 3%,4
OTHERS:- 4%, 7
TOTAL CANDIDATES = 163
Bharti Axa rely heavily on consultancies for the recruitment of agents.

Secondary Data Sources
40 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
The secondary data was collected from the company manuals, handbooks, and

RESEARCH DESIGN
Exploratory type of research designs adopted because sources of information are relatively few
and the purpose is merely to find and to understand the possible actions. The major purposes of
exploratory study are:
Identification of problem
The precise formulation of problems including the identification of variables
Formulation of alternative course of action
An exploratory research is often the first in the series of projects that culminates in one
concerned with the drawing of inferences that are used as a basis of monetary action. Exploratory
study is often used as an introductory phase of a larger study and results are used in developing
specific technique for larger study. Of the study the relevant questionnaire was prepared and
circulated among a stratified sample of 50 employees of BHARTI AXA LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY LTD.. This questionnaire formed the basis for the views on each of the points raised
in the questionnaire. The data thus obtained formed the basis of information regarding the
existing recruitment and selection processes at BHARTI AXA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

3Finally selected Life advisors
As we know that 7.5% of the peoples are insured that means rest 92.5% of the
people are still living without insured. It means insurance industry is still in growth stage. But
when we go to recruit life advisors of Bharti AXA most of the people did not agree because their
view was that nobody is ready to invest in insurance. It is totally wrong perception of some of
the people. One important question arises in my mind is that if more than 90% of the Indian
People are not insured so why people are not interested to be an advisors? The reason is that 70%
of the people of India are living in rural areas and the awareness of private insurance company in
rural market is very poor. But, it was found that the questionnaire and interview questions,
employee manual were sufficient to obtain the information required to analyze the process of
requirement within the organization. It has been found that the organization has a sound
understanding of what process need to be used in order to achieve effective recruitment of
Life advisors. In addition to this, there are several recommendations for the organization.
For any firm to be successful the main objectives should be:
Sustainable long-term growth,
Stable income and
Asset preservation;
Need to emphasize quality and diversification in both equity and fixed income asset
classes.
Focus should be on long-term consistent investment performance.
Emphasis towards training and enhancing skills of recruiters needs to be more.
Invest more in current staff than in Recruitment:
Conduct internal audit.
Be Creative
Understand and manage salary:
.
The general perception of life insurance has to change in India before progress is made in
this field.
RECOMMENDATION
53 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
1: In the 4 years of existence in the market it has created a sensation by introducing its most
profitable Unit-Linked Plans and products. The insurer needs to concentrate to make its products
and company much more aware among the public to change the mindset of the people and attract
them towards insurance sector. This can make the recruitment of the potential advisors very well.
To create the awareness among the people, the following methods could be adopted:
It needs to conduct awareness programmers, campaigns and publish news about
the company, products and attributes to position it in the customer’s mind. The company
should timely communicate through media to make the relationship stronger.
Another way of creating awareness about the presence of insurer is by placing
hoardings and posters in the traffic areas and market complexes to attract the attention of
the people.
The awareness through the Television is another medium. Though it advertises its
product but it should forecast itself on the channel which the maximum of people use or
advertising through regional channels.
More awareness can be created by establishing more branch and subsidiaries in
the urban as well as rural areas. It can create much more awareness among the common
people also.
The above discussed methods could be helpful to create awareness and thus can attract more
people to be its customers as well as to be a good life advisor. But for this the recruitment
standard and the recruitment policy should be a good one.
2: The strict training schedule should be made flexible. For a person who is Q4 or Q5 on
score it is difficult for him/ her to be able to come for training especially in case when he/ she
is already working.
54 | P a g eLOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY
3: The incentive system should be more attractive to motivate more and more
people for becoming Life Advisors.
4: There is need to have in place a properly managed performance appraisal system even for
life advisors that would contribute to effective retention of personnel.
5: The organization should use E- Recruitment in the process of recruiting life advisors. It is
the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job vacancies through
worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e
mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place their CV’s in worldwide web, which
can be drawn by prospective employers depending upon their requirements.
6: The organization should use POACHING/Reading methods of recruitment. It means
employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed
company in the same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the
industry.
Bharti AXA life insurance has innovative Unit Linked Plans with more flexible options
which differentiates it from other insurer. But due to the lack of awareness it does not penetrate
easily into the market. To ensure success at the local and national level, it is vital to create
awareness about its product and the benefits provided by the respective products. Hence the
above recommendations would help the company to create the awareness. This will bring the
company higher visibility, and that will bring more success to the company.
