The main advantage of this program is that employees will learn to solve the problem logically.They have many on-the –job training and off-the –job training programs.

To evaluate their training program, they are using MBO appraisal tool. It is one of the best methods of evaluating training but MBO is very time consuming. They are also using graphic rating scale which may create halo effect, central tendency or biasness. Therefore, they should also introduce BARS method because it is very accurate and also have numerical value. It will help HR manager to evaluate employees well.Orion Pharma Ltd should introduce leave cost reduction tactics because sometime the employees use these sick leave benefits in bad ways like often telling the manager that they are sick.

But in reality, they are misusing the organization’s benefits. ConclusionNo doubt Orion Pharma Ltd. is one of the premier pharmaceutical companies of Bangladesh.
