oINTRODUCTION
Every employee has certain expectations from the
organization which he thinks should be fulfilled by the
organization in which he is working .
 When the organization failed to do,it develops a feeling
of dissatisfaction into employee.

what the employee expect and what he receives, it
leads to GRIEVENCES.

his dissatisfaction with the organization because of greener
pasture somewhere else.

can use Gripe box system to collection information
about grievances from the employee.
03. Observation.
A manager/ supervisor can usually
observe the behaviour of People working under him.

their views more openly as there are conducted by
persons who are not the supervisor of the employee .

disclosed .

A systematic grievance procedure is the best means to
highlight employees dissatisfaction at various levels. In
the absence of such a procedure , grievance pile up and
burst up in the form of volcano at a future date.

ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESSFUL
GRIEVANCE HANDLING
1. Legal sanctity:-
The grievance procedure should be conformity with the
prevailing legislation. It should be designed to supplement the
statutory provisions.
2. Acceptability:-
The grievance procedure should be set up with the
participation of the employee and it should be applicable to all the
organisation .
The procedure must ensure
1. a sense of fair play and justice to the
workers
2. reasonable exercise of authority to
managers
3. reasonable participation of the union

4. Simplicity:-
The grievance handling procedure should be simple and
short.
5. Promptness:-
It is essential that grievance should be dealt with speedily
and promptly. Because delay cause frustration and tempers
may rise and rumours spread around the work.
3. Unambiguity:
Each and every aspect of grievance procedure should
be clear and unambiguous. All employees should know
whom to approach first when they have a grievance,
whether the complaint should be written or oral.

6. Training :-
7. Follow up
•Supervisors and union representatives should be given training in
grievance handling. This will help to ensure effective working of the
grievance procedure.

periodical intervals. Necessary improvements should be made to
make the procedure more effective.
