Watson Public Ltd Company is well known
for its welfare activities and employee-oriented schemes in the manufacturing industry
for more than ten decades. The company employs more than 800 workers and 150
administrative staff and 80 management-level employees. The Top-level
management views all the employees at the same level. This can be clearly
understood by seeing the uniform of the company which is the Same for all
starting from MD to floor level workers. The company has 2 different cafeterias
at different places one near the plant for workers and others near the
Administration building. Though the place is different the amenities,
infrastructure and the food provided are of the same quality. In short, the
company stands by the rule of Employee Equality.
The company has one registered trade
union. The relationship between the union and the management is very cordial.
The company has not lost a single man day due to strike. The company is not a
paymaster in that industry. The compensation policy of that company, when
compared to other similar companies, is very less still the employees don’t
have many grievances due to the other benefits provided by the company. But the
company is facing a countable number of problems in supplying the materials in
the recent past days. Problems like quality issues, mismatch in packing
materials (placing material A in the box of material B) incorrect labelling of
material, not dispatching the material on time, etc…
The management views the case as there
are loopholes in the system of various departments and hand over the
responsibility to the HR department to solve the issue. When the HR manager
goes through the issues he realized that the issues are not relating to the
system but it relates to the employees. When investigated he come to know that
the reason behind the casual approach by employees in work. The company hired
new employees for a higher-level post without considering the potential
internal candidates. The newly hired employees are placed with higher packages
than that of existing employees in the same cadre.
