EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

One of the most pressing issues facing most organizations today is the need to raise
employee productivity. There is a widespread belief that productivity
improvements can only be achieved through a fundamental reform in the area of
employee relations. Changes are thought to be necessary both in the organization

4
and structure of work and in the way in which employees are trained, remunerated
and motivated.

A healthy relation among employees promotes a positive ambience at the work


place and employees feel happy and satisfied at work. They look forward to going
to office daily and also work hard to realize their team’s as well as organization’s
goals.

It is important that employees share a healthy relation with each other at the work
place in order to have smooth running of organization with the most important
asset for its development.

The objective of my study was to observe

1. To identify various employee relations practices, and its effect on the


productivity of an organization.
2. To identify the challenges faced by employees at work places.
3. To identify ways of enhancing healthy relationship between employees and
employers in an organization.

To achieve the objectives mentioned above, I have to collect data from the
organization and analyze them to receive information.

With regards to the research methodology of this study, the purposive sampling is
also known as Judgmental sampling or selective sampling or subjective
sampling was chosen as most appropriate research design for study. In this
sampling method the researcher chooses the sample based on who they think

5
would be appropriate for the study. This is used primarily when there is a limited
number of people that have expertise in the area being researched.

Data was gathered from both primary and secondary sources of information.
Responses from questionnaires and interviews with management of the
organization formed the basis for the primary data, while books, articles and
journals on employee relations acted as the secondary data. Findings from this
study revealed that employee relations practices affect productivity through
employee morale, quality and quantity of output/product. Other findings include
various challenges that employees face at workplace and various ways to enhance
healthy relationship between employees and their employers in an organization.
The most valuable recommendation given is to treat employees with great care.

INTRODUCTION

Business owners wishing to compete at a world-class level must understand the


human side of their organisation and business processes. According to Jansen et al.

6
(2013: 192-216), they must be social architects who can work across levels and
functions of the organisation, continuously improving the business process and
fostering an atmosphere favourable for innovation, risk-taking, self-directed
teamwork, commitment, quality and self-improvement. To survive and grow in the
twenty-first century, entrepreneurs must learn and use appropriate human skills to
motivate and inspire all those involved in their business (McDermott and Conway
2013: 289). Various sources including Accuff and Wood (2004), Browne and
Keeley (2009), Donaldson and O’Toole (2007), Ford et al. (2003), and Selmier and
Travis (2013) have suggested that without strong relationships, it becomes
impossible to be successful as a business owner. These studies express the opinion
that business owners need to have long-term customer and employee relationships
that will carry them through challenging and difficult times, as well as
relationships with other business owners, to share struggles, resources and best
practices, which can really give them an edge. Relationships are complex but
research from Anderson and Kerr (2002), Boxall (2013), Hartline and Bejou
(2004), and Alcarzar et al. (2013) suggest that they can be managed. Jackson
(2009) concluded that the reality about business relationships is that they are just
like any other relationship; they require lots of effort to maintain and they must be
mutually beneficial to all the stakeholders. Jackson emphasised that as in any
business relationship, a business owner must be willing to give, share and support,
not just take or receive.

OBJECTIVES

This study was developed with the intention to: ΠHighlight the critical role
played by positive employer-employee relationships towards business success; Œ
Discuss interpersonal skills as the basis for establishing and maintaining
relationships; ΠDiscuss the role played by job satisfaction on employer-employee

7
relationships; ΠAssess the nature of the relationship between businesses and their
employees in a targeted community in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
and discuss the role this relationship contributes to the success of SMMEs in the
community

LITERATURE REVIEW

The relationship between the employer and the employee is important, therefore
business owners need to pay attention to this relationship if they want their
businesses to grow and succeed (Bhattacharya et al. 2012). There are a number of
employee retention strategies that business owners can utilise in order to maintain
the good relationship they have with the employees. Several sources including
Kleinaltenkamp and Ehret (2006), Strohmeier (2013), and Yan and Stafford (2011)
outline relationship strategies targeted at workers might include amongst others
motivating, providing incentives, delegating important responsibilities, being open
and transparent, team building, and so on. Burns (2012: 186-196) declared that
good employer-employee relations are essential for different reasons. These
reasons might include: ΠEmployees who are inspired to work produce better and
more results. ΠThe level of competency of the staff increases because of their
drive to become better. ΠCustomer service is improved because employees who
have good relations with their employer are usually viewed as good customer
consultants. Institute of Leadership and Management (2007) outlines a number of

8
issues that can cause the downfall of the employer-employee relationship. Some of
the issues include:

The High Rate of Inflation

The increment of the inflation rate in an economy results in an increased standard


of living (Berument et al. 2011: 149). When this happens, workers start to demand
higher salaries to complement the increased cost of living. This situation possesses
the potential for the breakdown of the employer-employee relationship.

Lack of Trust and Respect

According to Hunt et al. (2009: 71-77) trust and respect are earned by an employer
through open communication, consistent feedback and delegation of
responsibilities to the staff. An employer who fails to abide by these elements of
trust and respect will eventually also put a negative strain on the relationship.
Globalisation

Globalisation provides the platform for changes in work processes, management


style, and technology (Spence 2011: 28). Business owners should always monitor
the global economy to ensure they are up to date with current global trends of
relationship management. A business that fails to do so is faced with the potential
of losing their workforce.

Labour Laws

Labour laws were designed by the South Africa government to protect workers
against unfair treatment by their employers (Cazes et al. 2012). Every employee
eventually becomes aware of these. It is important for the employer to ensure that
they comply with these laws or face penalties and a demise of the relationship they
have with the staff. Daft and Marcic (2010) advise business owners to never allow

9
a negative relationship to exist between themselves and their staff. If this happens,
the productivity levels of the organisation decrease. The employees are the ones
who have direct contact with the customers and go an extra mile to be helpful.
When they are happy, a good relationship between themselves and the customer is
created and maintained. When they are unhappy these employees often direct their
unhappiness at the customers.

Interpersonal Skills as the Basis for Building and Maintaining Relationships

To build strong relationships in the workplace, business owners need to develop


their interpersonal skills. According to Nkosi et al. (2013: 10-20), interpersonal
skills will make it easier for the business owners to manage relationships and
succeed in business. Some of the interpersonal skills include: I. The ability to
understand other people’s behaviours and interpret them correctly (Gilley 2006: 5).
The business owners must aim to recognise and correctly interpret the feelings,
thinking, and behaviour of another person. Gilley states that this is done in an
effort to discover their fears, failures, successes and actions. II. The ability to
manage impressions and present oneself competently to others

(Chiaburu and Stoverink 2013). Success in business today depends on building


successful relationships. Knowing how to present yourself professionally gives you
a powerful edge over the competition. Business owners must have a combination
of confidence, competence, attitude, manners, and communication. These are
enhanced by a polished executive image; knowing what to do, how and when to do
it. III. The ability to communicate and get your message across (Jones and Sinnett
2011). Good communication skills will enable business owners to convey
important information. They should never be tongue tied, know what to say, and

10
say it. IV. The ability to persuade others and influence their behaviours, attitudes,
opinions and beliefs (Kehoe and Wright 2013). Business owners are encouraged to
use the authority and systems they have in their organisation to persuade and
influence staff to work efficiently and effectively to ensure that the organisational
goals are met and good relationships are maintained. V. The ability to use power
(Pfeffer 2009). Business owners must use the power they have to influence staff
but must not act in an intimidating manner.

Job Satisfaction

Job satisfaction has been outlined as a difficult entity to define even in simplistic
operational terms. Schults and Schults (2002) referred to job satisfaction as the
positive feelings and attitudes employees hold about their jobs. This depended on
many work-related factors, ranging from the sense of fulfilment workers get on
their daily tasks and many more. Yang et al. (2011) states that personnel factors
can also affect job satisfaction. These factors include age, health, and length of job
experience, emotional stability, social status, family and other social relationships.
Their motivations and aspirations and how well these are satisfied by their work
also affect their attitudes towards their jobs. Daft and Marcic (2010) describe job
satisfaction as an accurate indicator of good relationships between the employer
and the employees. This is because a satisfied worker usually has good
relationships with the employer. Previous research from Jeon and Choi (2012)
pointed out that employees who were happy with their jobs are the most likely to
satisfy customers and manage good relationships with them. This may suggest that
treating employees well puts them in a better frame of mind to treat customers
well. Lusch and Vargo (2006) were of the opinion that customer service and
employee satisfaction were closely related to each other. Customers, for example
expect outstanding customer service. Employees want recognition and

11
compensation that relate to the achievement of customer service goals. Customers
want to deal with knowledgeable customer-contact personnel who can make
decisions. Employees want to be led, inspired and recognised. This study
encourages business owners to continuously make efforts to satisfy their
employees as they are the ones who contribute the most to production, sales and
customer satisfaction. The owners should make efforts to understand what satisfies
their staff and continuously check whether the business processes and management
are in line with what the employees want. The owners must find their own method
to measure job satisfaction either by having one on one session with staff,
distribution of questionnaires, and so on. As far back as 1989, Bennet stated that
job satisfaction was not easy to measure because there was no standard
measurement criterion for business owners. Some firms issue questionnaires to
employees asking them to list in rank order the tasks that they find particularly
boring and/ or unpleasant. Equally, employees might be invited to comment on the
working conditions they regard as most attractive (security, good working
conditions, responsibility, control over work, etc.). Results from such surveys may
help in providing to the employees what they need in the organisation in order to
be satisfied. The factors that affect job satisfaction vary from one worker to
another and from day to day, but include the following: ΠThe nature of the work
(the tasks involved, and the interest and challenge the job generates). ΠThe level
of compensation ΠThe perceived fairness of the promotion system within a
company

ΠThe quality of the working conditions ΠManagement style ΠSocial


relationships in the workplace Along with contributing to a general sense of

12
personal well-being, job satisfaction is perceived to be linked to a positive work
attitude and increased productivity.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

A quantitative approach was followed for this research. Houser and Osman (2010:
75) defined a quantitative approach as a formal, objective, systematic process to
describe, test relationships and examine cause and effect interactions among
variables. Houser and Osman further declare that quantitative research focuses on
gathering numerical data and generalising it across groups of people. The
researchers conducted a survey in an attempt to collect data from a sample of
participants drawn from a larger population through the use of standardized
questionnaires which were carefully constructed and developed to ensure that they
would gather the desired information. Dewitt and Hernandez (2003:136) state that
surveys of this kind aim to paint an accurate picture of the phenomenon under
investigation. This is because the results of surveys are representative of the
population within a certain degree of error. To measure the role played by business
relationships towards the growth of businesses, the researcher divided the survey
into two sections.

Section 1

The first section aimed to determine the business owners’ opinions about their
relationships with staff and whether they believe this relationship contributes to the
success of their business.

Section 2

This section assessed the satisfaction level of the staff towards the business and its
ownership. Basically, job satisfaction was measured. If the results indicate that the

13
satisfaction of staff is high, then this would suggest employees had a good
relationship with the business. The section on job satisfaction outlined the direct
link between job satisfaction and good employer-employee relationships. Job
satisfaction was outlined as an accurate indicator of good relationships between
these two parties.

Research Population

In the context of this research, the population included every individual or element
within the research environment that was likely to be affected in one way or
another by the findings of the research. The targeted population for this research
consisted of SMMEs in the targeted community. The research encompasses all the
businesses operating in the community. The total number is calculated at 60.

The Research Sample

A sample has been defined as a subset drawn from the targeted population that is
directly involved in or participate in the data collection of the research (Wellman
and Kruger 2004: 50). A sample is further described by these authors as the
resemblance of the population from which it was drawn. According to Wellman
and Kruger (2004: 96) a sample has the following elements: ΠRepresentivity: the
sample must represent the population ΠSample must be of a reasonable size if the
researcher is going to be able to generalise his or her findings to that population. Œ
Generally the acceptable sample size drawn from the targeted population must be
33% and in some cases 25% is acceptable. ΠRandomness of the sample: Anyone
in the population could have fallen into the sample. The sample for this research
consisted of businesses in the targeted community. Majority of legally operating
businesses in this community are registered under a business forum. The forum is
responsible for co-ordinating business relationships among its members, facilitate

14
development, and provide training and networking opportunities. The researchers
obtained a list which contained all information about the businesses registered in
this forum.

Participants

Systematic sampling was used to determine the participants that qualify in the
sample. Bry-

man (2012: 63) highlights that with systematic sampling the researchers decided on
a system to qualify the businesses that will participate. The businesses that
qualified for this research were those that employ five or more employees. Various
researchers have used various systems to decide on an appropriate number to
target. This selection depends on the attributes of the research population. The
provided list of 60 businesses indicated that only 25 businesses employed 5 or
more staff members. These were automatically selected to be the sample for the
research. The 5 employees for each business were selected and asked to complete a
job satisfaction questionnaire. These were selected according to their willingness
and availability.

LIMITATIONS

The major limitations that confronted the research were: ΠSome of the staff
members were not comfortable in completing the questionnaire in the business
premises, so they requested the researcher to meet them elsewhere. These
employees feared that their anonymity was compromised, despite the fact that their
confidentiality was guaranteed. ΠThere were carelessly completed questionnaires
which resulted in some missing or unclear values. ΠSome staff members in senior
positions of the businesses in the uptown area were unavailable to complete the
questionnaires and so a large majority of the participating employees represent
15
lower level employees. This limited the researchers from obtaining responses from
different ranks of the businesses. ΠThere were some language and literacy
problems for some employees as they were not able to read and understand English
properly. The researchers had to give clear instructions to these participants in their
language of choice and then completed the questionnaire for those who could not
write. This procedure was time consuming. ΠOnly 20 businesses from the
selected ones showed interest to take part in the research.

Data Analysis

After the data was collected it was organised and analysed. For analysis of the
questionnaires, a computer programme called Statistical Package for Social
Sciences (SPSS) was used. Data was analysed by using descriptive statistics.

Discussion of Owner Responses

The main intention of this study was to evaluate the business owners’ opinions
about the nature of the relationship they have with their staff. This was done so that
the researchers could determine whether these relationships contribute to the
success of their organisations. The response to the majority of the questions was
positive, signalling that a large majority of them strongly believe that relationships
are important and that it is important that they build and strengthen them in order
to obtain sustainable success for their businesses. Their responses also showed that
they are businessmen who believe that relationships possess the potential for
growth and are a vital success factor. The business owners signalled that the
relationships they have with their staff contributes to the effective and efficient
functioning of the businesses. The owners believed it was true that good
relationships contribute to the increase of productivity in their businesses. They
believe it is easy to motivate staff with whom they have a good relationship with as

16
well as to carry out instructions. Incentives might be the front line tool to get
people to work to their best but good relationships form the foundation for
increased productivity. All the business owners agreed that a good relationship
with employees improve customer service. This is because satisfied staff serves
customers well. The majority of business owners though feel that good
relationships amongst staff members do not make it easy for businesses to retain
valuable staff members. Employees might remain loyal to the business because of
other motivators such as growth opportunities as well as increased pay. It is in the
nature of human beings to always look for better opportunities for growth and
more money for a better lifestyle. Society today is designed in such a way, that
people will overlook relationships if an opportunity to have a better lifestyle comes
their way

DISCUSSION OF EMPLOYEE

Responses In this study, job satisfaction was identified as an accurate indicator of


good relationships between employees and employers. In this questionnaire the
employees indicated many of the statements provided by the researcher were true.
This would suggest that the majority of employees from the sampled businesses
were satisfied with their jobs and therefore had a good relationship with the
business and its ownership. The majority of employees indicated that they were
willing to work for their current employers for the next five years. Factors that
might have come into play when the employees answered this question would have
been the size of the organisation they work for, the satisfaction employees have
about the work that they do and lastly the role the job plays in their livelihood.
Employees who work in much more developed business would feel happy with
their earnings and opportunities provided by the business and therefore rule out the
option of furthering their career elsewhere. The respondents who work in smaller

17
businesses on the other hand, would have made this selection because job is a form
of security for their family income and they are not willing enough to endeavour or
take risks to find better opportunities elsewhere. A majority of the respondents felt
a strong personal attachment to the business they worked for this might be mainly
because they are provided with an income every month for their contribution to its
success. A larger part of the respondents believed that the business cared about
them and contributed to their success. The experience these employees gain while
working for these businesses is something that they can cherish and it contributes
to their development as individuals. The majority of staff in all the businesses
believed they contributed to the existence, growth and success of that business.
This response signals that the employers give responsibility to the staff. The small
or big tasks they do, regardless of its nature or importance, they believe make a
meaningful contribution to the success of the business they work for.

Sixty percent of the employees believed the businesses they worked for attract
outstanding employees and the other forty percent disagreed with this statement.
Outstanding employees are usually attracted by better opportunities to grow and
better incentives. The research determined that a majority of the staff felt the
owner communicated openly and honestly with them. This signals that employees
felt involved in decision making and are well informed about all information about
the business. (See Table 2). More than ninety percent of the staff wanted their
relationship with the business to grow in the foreseeable future. Both parties must
work on this. The owner needs to take all the steps that will enable the staff to
work to the best of their ability and the staff must in turn be reasonable and
understanding with their demands. The majority of the staff said they understood
the principles of the business they worked for. This means the majority of owners

18
were able to sell their vision and present the objectives they set for their businesses
clearly to the staff

Business Environment

India is the topmost off shoring destination for IT companies across the world.
Having proven its capabilities in delivering both on-shore and off-shore services to
global clients, emerging technologies now offer an entire new gamut of
opportunities for top IT firms in India. Social, mobility, analytics and cloud
(SMAC) are collectively expected to offer a US$ 1 trillion opportunity. Cloud
represents the largest opportunity under SMAC, increasing at a CAGR of
approximately 30 per cent to around US$ 650-700 billion by 2020. The social
media is the second most lucrative segment for IT firms, offering a US$ 250 billion
market opportunity by 2020. The Indian e-commerce segment is US$ 12 billion in
size and is witnessing strong growth and thereby offers another attractive avenue
for IT companies to develop products and services to cater to the high growth
consumer segment.

20
India is the world's largest sourcing destination for the information technology (IT)
industry, accounting for approximately 67 per cent of the US$ 124-130 billion
market. The industry employs about 10 million workforce. More importantly, the
industry has led the economic transformation of the country and altered the
perception of India in the global economy. India's cost competitiveness in
providing IT services, which is approximately 3-4 times cheaper than the US,
continues to be the mainstay of its unique selling proposition (USP) in the global
sourcing market. However, India is also gaining prominence in terms of
intellectual capital with several global IT firms setting up their innovation centres
in India.

The IT industry has also created significant demand in the Indian education sector,
especially for engineering and computer science. The Indian IT and ITeS industry
is divided into four major segments – IT services, business process management
(BPM), software products and engineering services, and hardware.

The IT-BPM sector in India grew at a Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) of
15 per cent over 2010-15, which is 3-4 times higher than the global IT-BPM spend,
and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 9.5 per cent to US$ 300 billion by 2020.

SWOT Analysis of IT Sector

Strengths

 Highly skilled human resource


 Low wage structure
 Quality of work
 Initiatives taken by the Government (setting up Hi-Tech Parks and
implementation of e-governance projects)

21
 Many global players have set-up operations in India like Microsoft, Oracle,
Adobe, etc.
 Following Quality Standards such as ISO 9000, SEI CMM etc.
 English-speaking professionals
 Cost competitiveness
 Quality telecommunications infrastructure
 Indian time zone (24 x 7 services to the global customers). Time difference
between India and America is approximately 12 hours, which is beneficial
for outsourcing of work.

Weaknesses

 Absence of practical knowledge


 Dearth of suitable candidates
 Less Research and Development
 Contribution of IT sector to India ‘s GDP is still rather small.
 Employee salaries in IT sector are increasing tremendously. Low wages
benefit will soon come to an end.

Opportunities

 High quality IT education market


 Increasing number of working age people
 India ‘s well developed soft infrastructure
 Upcoming International Players in the market

Threats
22
 Lack of data security systems Countries like China and Philippines with
qualified workforce making efforts to overcome the English language barrier
 Countries like China and Philippines with qualified workforce making
efforts to overcome the English language barrier
 IT development concentrated in a few cities only

Outline of The Problem/Task Undertaken

In recent times, while most workers are on job, they do not produce more simply
because of the un-healthy relationship they have with their fellow colleagues and
employers.

A recent study conducted by Blyton (2008) revealed that employees do not put up
their best performances at workplaces when they are un-happy with management,
government, or even their fellow colleagues. Bad employee-employer relationship
results in strike actions and lockouts. All these actions taken by employees to
display their grievances only do the organization harm than good as productivity
will be reduced drastically.

33
By many accounts, employee relations today are in crisis. In academia, its
traditional positions are threatened on one side by the dominance of mainstream
economics and organizational behaviour, and on the other by postmodernism. In
policy-making circles, the industrial relations emphasis on institutional
intervention is trumped by a neo-liberal emphasis on the laissez faire promotion of
free markets.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In order to do research successfully and fulfill the objectives of research I studied


the Employee Relations at NEXGEN Software Solutions. I have done the research
by interacting with the executive, managers of the HR Department and understood
how the process is executed in the organization.

After that, I designed a questionnaire which had various questions related to


Employee Relations. The questionnaire was distributed to the employees and filled
up by them.

DETERMINING SAMPLE SIZE

POPULATION:

35
All the items under consideration in any field of enquiry constitute a population.

In my study, the population of the employees is 30.

SAMPLE SIZE

The sample size is 20 employees of NEXGEN Software Solutions.

SAMPLING METHOD

The purposive sampling is also known as  Judgmental sampling or selective


sampling or subjective sampling was chosen as most appropriate research design
for study. In this sampling method the researcher chooses the sample based on who
they think would be appropriate for the study. This is used primarily when there is
a limited number of people that have expertise in the area being researched.

TOOLS OF DATA COLLECTION

Primary and Secondary data were used.

In Primary Data

Standardized Questionnaire is used for data collection. A Questionnaire consists of


a number of questions printed or typed in a definite order on a form or set of forms.
The respondent has to answer the question on their own. Apart from this
observations and interview has also been used as a source for primary data
collection.

 Interviews 
 Questionnaires 
 Observations

36
In Secondary Data

Secondary data means data that are already available i.e. they refer to the data
which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else. Secondary data
may either be published data or unpublished. It is collected from:

 Journals
 Magazines
 Websites

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT TOPIC

Every individual shares a certain relationship with his colleagues at the workplace.
The relationship is either warm, so-so or bad. The relationship can be between
anyone in the organization - between co workers, between an employee and his
superior, between two members in the management and so on. It is important that
the employees share a healthy relationship with each other to deliver their best
performances.

An individual spends his maximum time at the workplace and his fellow workers
are the ones with whom he spends the maximum hours in a day. No way can he
afford to fight with his colleagues. Conflicts and misunderstandings only add to
tensions and in turn decrease the productivity of the individual. One needs to
discuss so many things at work and needs the advice and suggestions of all to reach
to a solution which would benefit the individual as well as the organization.

No individual can work alone. He needs the support and guidance of his fellow
workers to come out with a brilliant idea and deliver his level best

37
Happy employees are productive employees. Successful businesses know how to
manage relationships to build lasting employee satisfaction.

The most important part of any business is its people. No business can run
effectively without them. they need to communicate and work with others to get
their jobs done. Employers need to manage relationships in the workplace to keep
the business functioning smoothly, avoid problems, and make sure employees are
performing at their best.

Importance of Employee Relations - Why Employee Relations at Workplace?

 There are several issues on which an individual cannot take decisions


alone.

He needs the guidance and advice of others as well. Sometimes we might


miss out on important points, but our fellow workers may come out with a
brilliant idea which would help us to achieve our targets at a much faster
rate. Before implementing any plan, the pros and cons must be evaluated on
an open forum where every employee has the right to express his opinions
freely. On your own, you will never come to know where you are going
wrong, you need people who can act as critic and correct you wherever you
are wrong. If you do not enjoy a good relation with others no one will ever
come to help you.

 Work becomes easy if it is shared among all.

A healthy relation with your fellow workers would ease the work load on
you and in turn increases your productivity. One cannot do everything on his
own. Responsibilities must be divided among team members to accomplish
the assigned tasks within the stipulated time frame. If you have a good
38
rapport with your colleagues, he will always be eager to assist you in your
assignments making your work easier.

 The organization becomes a happy place to work if the employees work


together as a family.

An individual tends to lose focus and concentration if his mind is always


clouded with unnecessary tensions and stress. It has been observed that if
people talk and discuss things with each other, tensions automatically
evaporate and one feels better. Learn to trust others, you will feel relaxed.
One doesn’t feel like going to office if he is not in talking terms with the
person sitting next to him. An individual spends around 8-9 hours in a day at
his workplace and practically it is not possible that one works non stop
without a break. You should have people with whom you can share your
lunch, discuss movies or go out for a stroll once in a while. If you fight with
everyone, no one will speak to you and you will be left all alone. It is
important to respect others to expect the same from them.

 An individual feels motivated in the company of others whom he can


trust and fall back on whenever needed.

One feels secure and confident and thus delivers his best. It is okay if you
share your secrets with your colleagues but you should know where to draw
the line. A sense of trust is important.

 Healthy employee relations also discourage conflicts and fights among


individuals.

39
People tend to adjust more and stop finding faults in each other. Individuals
don’t waste their time in meaningless conflicts and disputes, rather
concentrate on their work and strive hard to perform better. They start
treating each other as friends and try their level best to compromise and
make everyone happy.

 A healthy employee relation reduces the problem of absenteeism at the


work place.

Individuals are more serious towards their work and feel like coming to
office daily. They do not take frequent leaves and start enjoying their work.
Employees stop complaining against each other and give their best

 It is wise to share a warm relation with your fellow workers, because


you never know when you need them.

You may need them any time. They would come to your help only when
you are nice to them. You might need leaves for some personal reasons; you
must have a trusted colleague who can handle the work on your behalf.
Moreover healthy employee relations also spread positivity around.

It is essential that employees are comfortable with each other for better focus and
concentration, lesser conflicts and increased productivity.

 SCOPE OF THE STUDY


The scope of the research of Employee Relations and Its Effect on
Employee Productivity will be limited to NEXGEN Software Solutions at
the Bhagyashree Apts, 1692, Sadashiv Peth, Near Grahak Peth, Tilak Road,
Pune. The research will rely on the organization for vital information as well

40
as information from secondary source. The Study will based on various
employee relation practices.
 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The researcher encountered a limitation in regards to availability of
information. Thus due to the organizations working ethics, the researcher
could not get access to vital information since it was treated as confidential 
and the targeted respondent’s number was not attained since some
employees were on leave and availability of time also became a limitation.

affected.

4. Attrition rate is on higher side when the IT industry is performing well overall.

5. Employees are not clear about the vision of the organization and their role to
achieve it.

62
Suggetion

 Improve Communication : Sending out a memo or email to inform


employees of important company information is inefficient and impersonal.
Your employees are among the most important resources in your
organization, so you should work to improve communication with the staff.
Have regular company meetings to introduce important information to
employees, and allow employees to ask questions as well.

 Career Development: To decrease employee turnover, the company needs to


take an active role in staff career development. Encourage your managers to
work closely with employees on improving staff skills and answering any
questions. Use annual performance appraisals to set up a development plan
for the coming year that will help employees reach their career goals. The
company also should consider a tuition reimbursement program that will
assist employees in furthering their education while working for the
company. It creates a smarter workforce and increases employee morale.

 Share the Vision:To make employees feel better about the company, it is
important to share the company's plans with the staff. Hold meetings to
explain the company's plans for growth and expansion, and get the entire
staff to understand and take pride in the company's future. Seek input from
employees on ways to improve company productivity going forward, and
reward employees who offer ideas that make company growth more
efficient. The rewards can be cash or paid time off. When management
makes the effort to keep employees updated on plans and incorporates
63
employee suggestions to improve those plans, the staff feels more personally
invested in the company's success.

 Motivate: Employee of the Month programs are great, as are incentives and
rewards. However, they are short term behaviour changers, and you need to
get the fundamentals right. Ensure that each staff member knows what their
boundaries are, what success looks like and the expectations of both their
immediate manager and the team as a whole. The absence of any clear
guidelines or feedback can be detrimental to ensuring positive employee
relations.

CONCLUSION

In this study business owners are advised to never allow a negative relationship to
exist between themselves and their staff. If this happens, the productivity levels of
the organization will decrease. The employees are the ones who have direct contact
with the customers and go the extra mile to be helpful. When they are happy, a
good relationship between them and the customer is created and maintained. When
they are unhappy these employees often direct their unhappiness towards the
customers. This study highlighted the critical role played by positive employer-
employee relationships towards business success. Various sources suggested that
without strong relationships, it becomes impossible to be successful as a business
owner. Business owners need to have longterm and employee relationships that
will carry them through challenging and difficult times, as well as relationships
with other business owners, to share struggles, resources and best practices, which

64
can really give them an edge. Business owners who want to compete at a
worldclass level should understand the human side of their organisation and
business processes. They must be social architects who can work across levels and
functions of the organisation, continuously improving the business process and
fostering an atmosphere favourable to innovation, risk-taking, self-directed
teamwork, commitment, quality and self-improvement. To survive and grow in the
twenty-first century, business owners must learn and use appropriate human skills
to motivate and inspire all those
