GENERAL MANAGER BASIC JOB DESCRIPTION 7 (BASIC GUIDELINES)


SUBJECT                   1.07   BASIC GUIDELINES                                  

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

There is differing terminology referring to disputes and grievances in the workplace.
Obviously the manner in which a grievance is raised and the manner in which it is most appropriately dealt with will vary according to local culture and the employment relation’s environment. In many cases a “a grievance procedure” refers to an issue raised by an individual employee, and a “dispute procedure” refers to more broadly based claims covering a substantial section of the workforce (and are often brought to management’s attention by way of third party, such as a trade union) however these terms are interchangeable.

Whereas it is not reasonable to expect management to anticipate all potential disputes and grievances, it is likely that most employees will at some stage have issues which concern them at work, and it is appropriate that these issues are brought to the attention of management.

It is therefore very important that when these issues are brought to your attention a number of key guidelines are followed as a matter of urgency :

1.    Management should make every effort to understand the nature and dimension of the grievance, and the reason for it being raised.
2.    Demonstrate empathy through actions and words-whether your agree with what is being said - you must remember, that his is a big step for the grievant;
3.    Management should immediately inform the employee/employees of the mechanism to be followed and ensure that they understand the timeframes;
4.    Default to your local grievance procedures and document the steps taken as well as the outcomes

In addition, these pro-active steps should form part of your annual management development program :

·         Management and supervisory levels should be aware of and trained on identifying grievances as they occur  and understand their role in effective grievance management.

·         All managers should acknowledge the key influence which poor grievance management has on the employee relation’s environment.

·         The non-handling of grievance gives rise to frustration which can permeate through to other employees and promote an uneasy working environment in which disputes and poor employee relations can arise.
