What are the major issues or concerns for employees at Mike Inc.?
Assignment-1
Read the case given and answer the questions:
Mike INC. 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 1000 workers and 200 administrative staff and 90
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.
The company has one registered trade union and 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 is
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.
