METHODLOGY
The key success of any project depends on various factors. Out of this methodology
or technique adapted is most vital, rather we can say that it is the crux point. When proper
methods are adopted it would lead to number of advantages like time saving, accurate
results and fine suggestions.
There is no specific or fixed methodology of doing a project. It differs according to
the situation. The methodology I adopted is classroom lecture, different department visit,
shop visit, and direct contact.
CLASSROOM LECTURE-
In class room lecture our company guide introduced us to the rules, procedure and polices
of the company. Here we came to know how HR policies are implemented. It’s a two

DEPARTMENTALVISIT-
Here we visited different department in order to get a brief knowledge of functioning of
that particular department and its linkage with HR Department.
QUESTIONNAIRES –
In this methodology we were introduced to HR managers and we were free to clarify our
doubts and ask questions regarding our project.
DIRECT CONTACT- Direct contact perhaps is the most effective method since the
chances of errors is minimized. In this methodology we interacted directly with the
departmental head.

YAMAHA’S HISTORY
Where & When It All Started
Yamaha Motor was born when Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd . was established in
Japan in July 1955, It was a relative latecomer in a market where as many as
150 motorcycle manufacturers competed for survival. New ones were starting up
and others were folding at a tremendous pace, and few survived the challenge. In
Yamaha Motor's story, you will recognize the spirit of challenge in these early
years that forged the company into the global corporate group we are today, in
pursuit of the perpetual goal of being best in the world market.
Foundation of “YAMAHA”
Genichi Kawakami (1912-2002)Founder Yamaha Motor Co. Ltd
It all began when then president of Nippon Gakki, (now Yamaha Corporation,)
Genichi Kawakami, put to use some machining equipment used in the
production of metal airline propellers to develop the first Yamaha motorcycle. It
was the YA-1, nicknamed “Aka-tombo” which means red dragonfly. With a
starting capital of 30 million yen, 274 employees and two single-story wooden
factory buildings with a capacity to turn out 200 motorcycles a month, the
fledgling company dared to confront competition, a will that came to forge the
company spirit of challenge. Yamaha entered the first YA-1 in the Mt. Fuji
Ascent Race and won. From there on, our employees moved with determination
from one challenge to the next, working as a team, sharing victories and setbacks.
Yamaha's First Motorcycle
YA-11955(1955)
This was Yamaha’s first motorcycle. At a time when motorcycle design was
dominated by imposing all-black styling, the YA-1 with its simple form and
modern chestnut red coloring, quickly became popularly known by the nickname
“Aka-tombo” (the Red Dragonfly). What’s more, it immediately demonstrated its
high performance by winning the 3rd Mt. Fuji Ascent Race in July of 1955, and
then swept the top places in the ultra-light class of the 1st Asama Highlands Race
of the All Japan Endurance Championships. In an era when the national average
starting salary of a male college graduate was 10,780 yen, this model, priced at
138,000 yen, was a coveted extravagance beyond the reach of most users.
'Overall length x width x height: 1,980mm x 660mm x 925mm
Weight: 94kg
Engine-type: Air-cooled 2-stroke 1-cylinder 123cc
Maximum power output: 5.6ps/5,000rpm
Maximum torque: 0.96kg-m/3,300rpm
Yamaha made its initial foray into India in 1985. Subsequently, it entered into a
50:50 joint venture with the Escorts Group in 1996. However, in August 2001,
Yamaha acquired its remaining stake as well, bringing the Indian operations
under its complete control as a 100% subsidiary of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd,
Japan.
India Yamaha Motor operates from its state-of-the-art-manufacturing units at
Faridabad in Haryana and Surajpur in Uttar Pradesh and produces motorcycles
both for domestic and export markets. With a strong workforce of 3000
employees, India Yamaha Motor is highly customer-driven and has a
countrywide network of over 400 dealers.
The company pioneered the volume bike segment with the launch of its 100 cc 2-
stroke motorcycle RX 100. Since then, it has introduced an entire range of 2-
stroke and 4-stroke bikes in India. Presently, its product portfolio includes Crux
(100cc), Alba (106cc), Gladiator (125cc) & YZF R15 (150cc)
ABOUT LOGOMARK
The YAMAHA brand has its roots in the name of our founder, Torakusu
Yamaha. Familiar with western science and technology from his youth, Yamaha
initially found employment repairing medical equipment. This led to a request to
repair a organ, a project that resulted in the birth of the Yamaha brand. Confident
of the potential of his business, Yamaha struggled against great odds to establish
Yamaha Organ Works. Entrepreneurial spirit, far-sightedness, and determination
to overcome difficulties fueled his passion to succeed. This same spirit formed
the foundation of the Yamaha brand, and is a vital legacy of Yamaha Corporation
today.
The Tuning Fork Mark
The three tuning forks of the Yamaha logo mark represent the cooperative
relationship that links the three pillars of our business -- technology, production,
and sales. They also evoke the robust vitality that has forged a reputation for
sound and music the world over, a territory indicated by the enclosing circle. The
mark also symbolizes the three essential musical elements: melody, harmony,
and rhythm.
What is Kando?
Kando is a Japanese word for the simultaneous feeling of deep satisfaction
and intense excitement that people experience when they encounter
something of exceptional value.
At Yamaha MOTOR we believe that Kando can be generalized by the products
and services that surpass customer’s expectations.
Yet for all the emotional evaluation Kando provides, the feeling can be short
lived, and people may be touched only for a moment. Therefore, our challenge is
to make sure that all our products and services genuinely thrill, impress and touch
customer’s heart at the first time and every time. We strive to achieve our
corporate mission by adhering to these principles.
We must remain keenly aware of customer evolving needs company provided
them quality products and services of exceptional value that surpass their
expectations. We can as we will earn a fair profits by putting forth a superior
efforts to satisfy our customers.
As a good corporate citizen we act from a world wide perspective and in
accordance with global standards. We will work locally to better the social
environment and think globally in helping and preserve the natural environment.

how an organization should move from current manpower position to the desire

HUMAN RESOURCE POLICIES
Human resource policies are systems of codified decisions, established by an
organization, to support administrative personnel functions, performance
management, employee relations and resource planning.
Each company has a different set of circumstances, and so develops an individual
set of human resource policies.
Purposes
HR policies allow an organization to be clear with employees on:
The nature of the organization what they should expect from the company
What the company expects of them how policies and procedures work at your
company
What is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour the consequences of
unacceptable behaviour The establishment of policies can help an organization
demonstrate that it meets requirements for diversity, ethics and training. In order
to fire a person it may be necessary to show cause compliant with employment
contracts and collective bargaining agreements; the establishment of HR Policies
to document steps in procedures, including displinary procedures, is now
standard.
EMPLOYEE RELATION & SATISFACTIONEMPLOYEE RELATION & SATISFACTION
Good employee relations" mean? My definition is very simple: good employee
relations means you create an environment which delivers what people want
today. They want to feel good about who they are, what they do and where they
work.
We should respect each and every employee and have developed our own
standards and systems aimed at enabling individuals to cultivate their talents and
capabilities to the fullest. Although individual group company programs,
structures and practices vary to some extent based on local norms, across the
group we seek to bring out the best in every employee by providing a safe,
healthy and enjoyable workplace, as well as challenging tasks and opportunities
for professional enrichment.
Employee Relations involves the body of work concerned with maintaining
employer-employee relationships that contribute to satisfactory productivity,
motivation, and morale. Essentially, Employee Relations is concerned with
preventing and resolving problems involving individuals which arise out of or
affect work situations.
Advice is provided to supervisors on how to correct poor performance and
employee misconduct. In such instances, progressive discipline and regulatory
and other requirements must be considered in effecting disciplinary actions and
in resolving employee grievances and appeals. Information is provided to
employees to promote a better understanding of management's goals and policies.
Information is also provided to employees to assist them in correcting poor
performance, on or off duty misconduct, and/or to address personal issues that
affect them in the workplace. Employees are advised about applicable
regulations, legislation, and bargaining agreements. Employees are also advised
about their grievance and appeal rights and discrimination and whistleblower
protections. What does the term ‘Satisfaction’ imply to an employee? It implies
nothing else than the feeling of either being contended or non-contended on using a
product.
Employee Satisfaction is a prerequisite for the customer satisfaction.
Enhanced employee satisfaction leads to higher level of employee retention.
A stable and committed workforce ensures successful knowledge transfer, sharing, and
creation --- a key to continuous improvement, innovation, and knowledge-based total
customer satisfaction.
When companies are committed with providing high quality products and
services; when companies set high work standards for their employees; and when
employees are empowered through training and development, provided with knowledge
and information, permitted to make mistakes without punishment, and trusted; they will
experience an increase in their level of satisfaction at work.
This level of satisfaction can be enhanced further if teamwork and visionary leadership
are introduced.
Continuous improvement comes from the efforts of the empowered employees
motivated by visionary leadership. This is supported by the findings that empowerment
and visionary leadership both have significant correlation with employee satisfaction.
Teamwork is also supported by the findings. In addition, the study found significant
correlation between employee satisfaction and employee’s intention to leave.
The success of a corporation depends very much on customer satisfaction. A high
level of customer service leads to customer retention, thus offering growth and profit
opportunities to the organization. There is a strong relationship between customer
satisfaction and employee satisfaction. Satisfied employees are more likely to stay with
company and become committed and have more likely to be motivated to provide high
level of customer service, by doing so will also further enhance the employee’s
satisfaction through feeling of achievement. Enhanced employee satisfaction leads to
improved employee retention; and employee stability ensures the successful
implementation of continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. Customer
satisfaction will no doubt lead to corporate success and greater job security. These will
further enhance employee satisfaction. Therefore, employee satisfaction is a prerequisite
for customer satisfaction.
Importance of Employee relation in an organization.
The relationship between an employer and its employees is an important factor
in the company's success. Employers will treat their employees with respect and
visa versa if they all want to succeed and achieve goals. Some companies forget
to focus on employee retention and appreciation, and then they lose productivity.
Find out how you can improve employer and employee relationships and keep
your team motivated for the long haul.

PICS RELATED TO SURVEY
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Objectieves:
1. To discover the various expectations that determine the satisfaction level of
employee.
2. To rank the factors according to the importance.
3. To measure the level of satisfaction of employees with respect to the company.
Employee Satisfaction Measurement
Employee satisfaction has been defined as a function of perceived performance and
expectations. It is a persons’ feeling of pleasure or disappointment resulting from
comparing a products’ outcome to his/her expectations.
If the performance (Company Services) falls short of expectations, the
employee is dissatisfied and if it matches the expectations, the employee is satisfied. A
high satisfaction implies more purchase/use of the product or service. The process is
however, more complicated then it appears. It is more important for any organization to
offer high satisfaction, as it reflects high loyalty and it will not lead to switching over
once a better offer comes in.
Tools for tracking and measuring customer satisfaction:
1. Complaint and Suggestion System: Employee can freely deliver complaints and
suggestions through facilities like suggestion box, personal meetings with seniors etc.
2. Lost Employee Analysis: The exit interviews are conducted or employee loss rate
is computed.
3. Employee Satisfaction Survey: Periodic surveys by use of questionnaire or
telephone calls to random sample of recent buyer help to find out customer satisfaction
and relate to repurchase intention and word of mouth score.Trough this survey process
we come to know about employee relations with their organization.
Technique
To uncover the important attributes which determine the satisfaction level of the
employee with respect to the various services catered by the company, a non-structured
in-depth interview of employee selected by convenience is carried out. Then a list of
attributes is finalized keeping in mind that an attribute once selected is not repeated on
being encountered for the second time.
Scale Construction
On the basis of attributes which have been identified, a questionnaire is prepared
which is analyzed for two parameters separately i.e. satisfaction and importance.
To each question, there are 5 possible answers out of which one is to be ticked. In
case of component pertaining to satisfaction, the respondent has to give a response in
terms of highly satisfied, very satisfied, satisfied not so satisfied or dissatisfied.
In case of component pertaining to satisfaction, the respondent has to give a
response in terms of critical, very important, important, not so important and not at all
important. The response for each question in either component of satisfied to dissatisfied
and from critical to not at all important, respectively.
Data Collection and Analysis
Exhaustive list of all the employee is obtained. A sample size of 50 is chosen to
be representative of the population (nearly 10%). Sample interval is determined by
dividing total no. of employee by the sample size (=26.32).Every tenth individual
appearing in the exhaustive list is then selected. Samples drawn are used to collect data
pertaining to employees’ satisfaction as well as importance towards the 15 attributes
listed.
The results are then categorized on the basis of
1. Total Respondents.
2. Department wise.
3. Salary Wise.
For each category, the respondents are selected and then averages of satisfaction
and importance are computed for each question respectively. Then the product of
corresponding averages is computed to give the satisfaction index.
The formula computation of satisfaction index is:
Satisfaction Index = Sum of Average Satisfaction(S) x Average importance (i)
Sum of Average Importance (i)
= ∑SXi
∑i

Salary wise analysis of Satisfaction Level
Tables and Figures 9 – 11 indicates that employees pertaining to Category ‘C’ (income
group (more than 5, 00,000) are the most satisfied (Satisfaction Index = 2.72) followed
by the employees of category ‘B’ (income group 75,000 – 5, 00,000; Satisfaction Index =
2.68) and the employees of category ‘A’ (income group less than 75,000; Satisfaction
Index = 2.47) are least satisfied.
CONCLUSION
Research shows that satisfied, motivated employees will create higher customer
satisfaction and in turn positively influence organizational performance. Convenient work
location, working with young people, opportunities for promotion and career prospects,
fair salary, good policies, job security and dynamic working environment are few
attributes which are critically important from the view point of most of the employees.
Employees have an overall satisfaction index of 2.43 which indicates that the
employees are relatively satisfied with the various services being catered by the company
as against their important.
It seems that employees of Accounts Department. are nearly as satisfied as Power
Division, Customer Care, Human Resources & Administration, Service Department,
however IT & ERP Department are most dissatisfied.
Employees falling in ‘C’ category of the income group
(Rs.5, 00,000 and more p.a.) are the most satisfied than the other categories of income.
Therefore a comprehensive Employee Satisfaction process can be a key to a more
motivated and loyal workforce leading to increased customer satisfaction, to
improve their relation with the organization and overall profitability for the
organization.

A Brief discussion about the above is given below --------
Safe, Healthy and Happy Workplace
Creating a safe, healthy and happy workplace will ensure that your employees
feel homely and stay with your organization for a very long time. Capture their
pulse through employee surveys.
Open Book Management Style
Sharing information about contracts, sales, new clients, management objectives,
company policies, employee personal data etc. ensures that the employees are as
enthusiastic about the business as the management. Through this open book
process you can gradually create a culture of participative management and ignite
the creative endeavor of your work force.. It involves making people an
interested party to your strategic decisions, thus aligning them to your business
objectives. Be as open as you can. It helps in building trust & motivates
employees. Employee self service portal, Manager on-line etc. are the tools
available today to the management to practice this style.
Performance linked Bonuses
Paying out bonuses or having any kind of variable compensation plan can be
both an incentive and disillusionment, based on how it is administered and
communicated. Bonus must be designed in such a way that people understand
that there is no payout unless the company hits a certain level of profitability.
Additional criteria could be the team's success and the individual's performance.
Never pay out bonus without measuring performance, unless it is a statutory
obligation.
Performance bonuses can be given to an employee for his /her good performance
only and a good employer help his subordinate to improve their performance in
this way-
An employee's poor job performance can be improved with a simple meeting - if it is
done with professionalism and sensitivity.
Preparing for the Conversation
Step1
Write down specific concerns about the employee's performance. Include time,
date, and what was done or not done to your satisfaction.
Step2
Review this employee's performance relative to his job description. Check that
your assessment is fair and accurate.
Step3
Make sure that the employee has been adequately trained and that he understands
his job description.
Step4
Be honest with yourself - have you contributed in any way to this employee's
difficulties? If so, what can you do differently to improve the situation?
Step5
Determine whether this has been a problem employee from the beginning, or if
this is a troubled employee who has had good work performance in the past.
Step6
Decide whether you want to help turn this employee around, or start the
disciplinary process for firing him.
Step7
Read your company's written personnel policy procedures and be sure to follow
company policies, if applicable.
Step8
Consult with your supervisor or a Human Resources representative before
counseling any employee on a disciplinary manner.
The Conversation with the Employee
Step1
Schedule a time that will allow for an uninterrupted conversation of at least 1/2
hour in a private place.
Step2
If appropriate, give the employee ample warning about the meeting and the topic.
Step3
Use a calm tone of voice and keep judgmental language out of the conversation.
"You are not meeting our expected quota" is more tactful than "You are lazy."
Step4
Explain your concerns clearly and discuss ways the employee can improve. Ask
for his suggestions.
Step5
Allow the employee a period of time to correct the behavior and let him know
you will be meeting to assess the employee's progress.
Step6
Ask the employee to give you his opinion, and listen to it. If the employee has
valid excuses, and points out how others or the organization may be at fault,
respond with empathy and concern.
Step7
Have the employee sign paperwork - a plan of attack for improvement, or just a
recap of the conversation - that indicates he understands the conversation, even if
he doesn't agree with your opinion
Reward Staff Performance
Most employees love recognition for a job well done. Here's how to give some
praise and perks that won't be too draining on your budget.
Instructions
Step1
Make your employees feel valued by praising them and having other managers
praise them.
Step2
Create a treasure chest containing items with logos, such as letter openers, mugs,
T-shirts and so on. Give it to an employee who's gone the extra mile.
Step3
Reward good behavior on-site, so the good work is recognized throughout the
company. Even a bunch of helium balloons will do it.
Step4
Ask employees for suggestions - via e-mail - if you're having a work-related
problem.
Step5
Create a family album or photo gallery of employees, including name and hire
date. This helps employees identify each other and gives you a place to note
accomplishments.
Step6
Make company benefits more accessible. If your company reimburses tuition,
have administrators from local colleges come to your company so staffers can
find out about various programs without having to make an extra trip.
Step7
Bring in representatives from your benefit providers on evenings or over the
weekend, so spouses as well as employees can ask
360 Degree Performance Management Feedback System
This system, which solicits feedback from seniors (including the boss), peers and
subordinates has been increasingly embraced as the best of all available methods
for collecting performance feedback. Gone are the days of working hard to
impress only one person, now the opinions of all matter, especially if you are in a
leadership role (at any level). Every person in the team is responsible for giving
relevant, positive and constructive feedback. Such systems also help in
identifying leaders for higher level positions in the organization. Senior managers
could use this feed back for self development.
Fair Evaluation System for Employees
Develop an evaluation system that clearly links individual performance to
corporate business goals and priorities. Each employee should have well defined
reporting relationships. Self rating as a part of evaluation process empowers
employees. Evaluation becomes fairer if it is based on the records of periodic
counseling & achievements of the employee, tracked over the year. For higher
objectivity, besides the immediate boss, each employee should be screened by
the next higher level (often called a Reviewer). Cross - functional feedback, if
obtained by the immediate boss from another manager (for whom this employee's
work is also important), will add to the fairness of the system. Relative ratings of
all subordinates reporting to the same manager is another tool for fairness of
evaluation. Normalization of evaluation is yet another dimension of improving
fairness.
Knowledge Sharing
Adopt a systematic approach to ensure that knowledge management supports
strategy. Store knowledge in databases to provide greater access to information
posted either by the company or the employees on the knowledge portals of the
company. When an employee returns after attending any competencies or skills
development program, sharing essential knowledge with others could be made
mandatory. Innovative ideas(implemented at the work place) are good to be
posted on these knowledge sharing platforms. However, what to store & how to
maintain a Knowledge base requires deep thinking to avoid clutter. Sharing
knowledge develop the understanding and relation among the employee.
Highlight performers
Create profiles of top performers and make these visible though company
intranet, display boards etc. It will encourage others to put in their best, thereby
creating a competitive environment within the company. If a systems approach is
followed to shortlist high performers, you can surely avoid disgruntlements.
Open house discussions and feedback mechanism
Ideas rule the world. Great organizations recognize, nurture and execute great
ideas. Employees are the biggest source of ideas. The only thing that can stop
great ideas flooding your organization is the lack of an appropriate mechanism to
capture ideas. Open house discussions, employee-management meets, suggestion
boxes and ideas capture tools such as Critical Incidents diaries are the building
blocks that can help the Managers to identify & develop talent.
Reward Ceremonies
Merely recognizing talent does not work, you need to couple it with ceremonies
where recognition is broadcast. Looking at the Dollar Check is often less
significant than listening to the thunderous applause by colleagues in a public
forum.
Delight Employees with the Unexpected
The last but not least way is to occasionally delight your employees with
unexpected things that may come in the form of a reward, a gift or a well-done
certificate. Reward not only the top performers but also a few others who are in
need of motivation to exhibit their potential.
Payroll/Benefits
Organizations are beginning to understand that pay should no longer be
considered only in terms of specific jobs and current financial results.
Compensation must inextricably be tied to people, their performance, and the
organizational vision and values that their performance supports. It isn’t that the
traditional pay strategies -- programs that worked so well for so long -- suddenly
turned on us. What shifted were organizational values, work cultures, and
business strategies. Although they have been largely overlooked, dramatic
changes in the organizational rules have frequently rendered traditional
compensation strategies ineffective.
Create an Ethical Workplace
It’s not just the right thing to do; it’s also the legal thing to do. You can help your
company on both fronts by taking some key steps:
Establish a Code of Ethics: It sounds like a daunting task to some, but a code of
ethics puts your company, your employees, and your clients on the same page so
everyone knows what to expect.
Develop the Code: Look at who you are as a company, and how you approach
your business. Write it down. Ask employees for their input. Look at what other
companies have done. After you have a draft in place, print it up and have
everyone look at it. Can everyone live up to the promise?
Promote the Code: Once you have the code in place, make an event of it. Unveil
the final version at a staff meeting. Place the code prominently throughout the
company. Ask employees to sign an agreement to follow the code. Make it part
of your company’s culture.
Review the Code: Businesses change; and in time, so may your code. Review it
annually to make sure it’s still a good fit.
Avoid Misunderstandings with Employees
Clear and open communications are the key to avoiding strife, confusion and
resentment in the workplace.
Instructions
Step1
Let employees know in advance about anything your company is doing that may
affect them. If, for example, your company plans to change insurance carriers, let
employees know this so they can schedule accordingly.
Step2
Get input from employees about changes in benefits that will affect them. This
will make them feel you are listening to their concerns.
Step3
Let people know about any changes that relate to their departmental budgets -
such as paycheck deductions or increases in production costs - months ahead of
time, if possible, so they can plan for it.
Step4
Make sure all policies and procedures are written down.
Step5
Enforce policies, such as vacation and benefits policies, equally and fairly across
the board.
Step6
Post job openings if you promote from within. Make job descriptions and
qualifications clear so would-be applicants know exactly what's required.
Step7
Avoid creating a laundry list of don'ts in your policy manual. This patronizes
your employees. Instead, give them positive guidelines.
TIMELY HIRING
You know that hiring the right person is essential to the success of your business.
For effective and efficient hiring, you’ll want to take key steps to ensure your
company gets the workers it need
I. Develop a Hiring Strategy
II. Match your strategy to your company
III. Determine what you’re looking for in a candidate
IV. Develop a Budget
You’ll have to consider:
1) Cost
2) Time constraints
3) Availability of qualified applicants
Timely hiring is a key issue in public sector human resource management. As the
supply of available workers continues to decline, the battle for talent will become
even more intense. Therefore, public agencies must develop approaches to
quickly hire well-qualified people. So that they can understand company
environment as soon as possible and maintain employee relation of organization.
Promoting Respect for Human Rights
We promote respect for human rights - a key element of our Code of Conduct -
through various employee education initiatives, including a mandatory online
course for all Fujitsu Limited employees. Dedicated help-line service is also
available for any employees wishing to report related issues or problems.
Health and Safety
Extensive activities are undertaken at every plant and office location to prevent
workplace accidents and ensure a safe and healthy work environment. In
addition, a broad range of support is provided to help employees maintain
physically and mentally healthy lifestyles, including health education, counseling
and other services.
Environmental Education and Development
Reflecting the special emphasis we place on environmental protection, we carry
out a variety of employee education initiatives aimed at promoting awareness of
environmental issues. This applies not only to manufacturing and product-related
personnel but to all employees, including sales, software and services staff. At
Fujitsu Limited and principal group companies in Japan, this includes dedicated
environmental literacy programs for new employees and new managers.
Overseas as well, numerous group companies have introduced environmental
education programs for their employees. In addition, employees participate in
various environmental outreach activities, such as community clean-up days and
reforestation programs. We have also launched an annual Environmental
Contribution Awards, which recognizes outstanding employee contributions to
advancing environmental efforts in our operational activities, as well as an annual
Environmental Volunteer Contest, which honors employees’ environmental
promotion efforts.
Accept these employee relations can be improve by these practices-
I. A common e-mail ID should be issue for a department at which all
employee can register their complain & suggestion without enclose their
identity.
II. 8 – 10 members team should be made for conflict management of
employees in which all members selected by employees only.
III. Formal meetings should be conducted once or twice in a month in which
unbiased communication of superior & subordinate takes place.
IV. Seminar should be held in the favour of employee’s rights.
V. Employee Recognition Program should be conduct - Once each year,
employees who have reached a milestone anniversary of employment (10
years, 15 years, 20 years etc.) invited to celebrate the occasion.
CONCLUSION
Super achievers don’t waste time in unproductive thoughts, esoteric thoughts or
catastrophic thoughts. They think constructively and they know that their level of
thinking determines their success.
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.
I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please
everybody.
Success and happiness go hand in hand. Success is getting what u want and
happiness wants what u get.
Every success story is also a story of great failure.
Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be
waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person.
The big thing is not what happens to us in life, but what we do about what
happens to us.
Some qualities that make a person successful are :
Desire
Commitment
Responsibility
Character
Positive Believing
Hard work
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve
Try not to become success but rather try to become a man of value.
The quality of a person is life in direct proportion to their commitment to
excellence ,regardless of their chosen field of endeavor
I like to work half a day.
