1.

• Do not agree with the observation of Gabston’s CEO.• Any organization should take a strict view on managing

discipline and performance in the organization but find out the root cause of such cases and act accordingly.

Underperformance might not always be because of negligence or incapability. Eg: Kasir• A humanitarian approach to employee management is

important as they are the most critical asset of a company.• Target the root cause rather than the superficial one• This would increase efficiency and productivity of employees.

Eg: Hammings

2. Problem with Gabston’s people management

• Too much focus on performance and no people centric policy

• Bureaucratic and hierarchical model of management; no feedback or suggestion mechanism for those at management level

• No relaxation in policies even for top performers• Management is insensitive to the problems faced by the

employees in their lives• Overall, the employees were not valued and they did not

have a healthy work enivronment
