Company should adopt the following things:

 Although Nestle is covering whole Pakistan but is rates are high they can lower its rates,
with low charges in order to capture a larger market and this way they can capture the
customers of low income group.

employee, sharing of ideas and employee involvement in decision making process

FINDING / DISCUSSION:
LEADERSHIP:
Leadership is the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans, and
motivating employees in the organization. A Manager’s leadership style contributes, to the
subordinates’ incentive, work fulfillment, and the work growth in the organization. Leadership
plays a vital role for the success of organization. Lack of leadership leads to increased employee
turnover, absenteeism, dissatisfied customers from poor customer service.

In Nestle 53% of the employees feel that their managers are employee oriented leaders and
remaining 47% feels that their managers are task orientated leaders. So this shows that the Nestle
has got the combination of leaders that are task oriented and leadership oriented. This shows that
NESTLE have the leaders that perform better in all situations and can manage their teams more
effective.

Task-Oriented:
A manager with a task-oriented style will have work results as his major concerns and therefore,
he will enlarge rigid policy that would lead the subordinates to reach the preferred results.

Employee-oriented:
A manager with an employee-oriented behavior objective is to improve the employee’s
confidence and influence them to work jointly and to resolve the problems.

Participative:
In Nestle the leadership style is participative in which the leader involves one or more employees
in the decision making process (determining what to do and how to do it). The leader allows the
employees to make the decisions. However, the leader is still responsible for the decisions that
are made. This is used when employees are able to analyze the situation and determine what
needs to be done and how to do it. Positive leaders use rewards, such as education,
independence, etc. to motivate employees.
While negative employers emphasize penalties such as loss of job, days off without pay.
LEARNING:
In Nestle, learning is done to make the employees skilled at creating, acquiring, transferring
knowledge, and to enhance their skills. In an Organization learning is a long-term activity that
builds competitive advantage over time and requires sustained management attention,
commitment, and effort. In Nestle collaboration with team members give the employees
opportunity for learning social, technical and creative skills. When learning is effective the
organization is highly aware of how to motivate its employees in the best ways. Rewards, such as
education, bonuses are given to motivate employees. There are different kinds of rewards
NESTLE gives to their employees which are as follows:

 Cash bonuses
 Promotions
 Make team leader
 Increments in salaries
 Allowances like ( fuel allowance, mobile allowance)

In line with Nestle management’s effort to maintain the decorum and ensure an environment that
is cohesive to the development and success of the people, a Code of Conduct has been put in
place where the following activities can result in disciplinary action:

 Unsatisfactory and negligent job performance.

ANALYSIS:
After studying various issues related to the organizational behavior within the organization we
analyzed that
 Nestle is working globally and is also operating in Pakistan. The organization behavior
regarding goal setting for employees I have analyzed that the management of Nestle is
effective in setting goals according to the competition in the privator sector of Pakistan.
 The management style in Nestle is kind of participative management in which employees
are given chance to share their ideas for decision making.
There are different kinds of rewards NESTLE gives to their employees which are as follows:
 Cash bonuses
 Promotions Make team leader
 Increments in salaries
 Allowances like ( fuel allowance, mobile allowance)
We found very different kind of reward in Nestle that they motivate their employees whose
performance is not up to the mark by giving them the salaries equivalent to the market value of
the any other employee of same rank so as to motivate their employees. Many of the employees
are being rewarded after accomplishment of their sales target in such a way that their
management take them to the picnic or invite them for dinner frequently. And another very
interesting fact which I found in Nestle is that their management does not fire their employees
even their performance level is not up to the mark.

Overall employees are satisfied with their company and jobs.


 To some extent they are given empowerment to do their work. Most of them agree that
their jobs are not creating any physical or mental problems for them.
 But according to my opinion employees are facing job stress. It is a fact that cannot be
denied. Because we know that stress is inevitable. It can only end up with the end of life
But the company deals with this problem and provides them proper counseling.
 Most of the employees have positive attitude toward their jobs.
If we see an overall picture, then it is clear that they are somewhat satisfied with their jobs and
they don’t have a lot of stress on them. But still there is a need of improvement in strategies of
NESTLE to make workforce more productive.

NESTLE asses the employee’s performance on:


 Leadership
 Communication skills.
 Team work and Co-operation.
 Problem solving & decision making.
 Customer focus.
In NESTLE training to the employees is given for the current improvement in the job while
developmental program is for improving the skill which will be used in the future. Both
managers and non-managers receive help from training and developmental program but mostly
non-managers are concerned with training while the managers are concerned with developmental
programs.

Nestle aim’s to ensure a workplace that necessitates open and respectful


Communication between the employee’s abilities. Almost all the employees are satisfied with
their physical working of employees.
Nestle has got the combination of leaders that are both task oriented and leadership oriented.
This shows that Nestle have the leaders that perform better in all situations and can manage their
teams more effective and efficiently.

them to do outstanding achievement in work. In Nestle the employees are listened, respected,
trusted, and valued that gives them a sense of self worth and belonging.

CONCLUSION:
Conclusion Long-run success and health of any organization depends upon the retention of
skilled employees. They are the most vital and dynamic resources of any organi-zation as
the knowledge and skills of employees have become highly important in gaining competitive
advantage in today’s business environment. Hence keeping a well trained, skilled, and
contended workforce can lead an organization to greater heights while the lack of it can
hamper its growth badly. Besides, it has been observed that employee turnover is becoming
a challenge which costs a lot of efforts, money, and energy. So, every resignation saved is
money earned. Also, every organization should develop strategies that strengthen the work
environment and increases the employee’s morale and employee’s job satisfaction to
enhance employee retention, which ultimately results in high profits, customer satisfaction, as
well as customer retention. Therefore, if the above mentioned factors exist in the
organization, it will not only help to attract new employees into the organization but will also
lead to the retention of the existing ones. The main role of HR, therefore, is to understand the
critical issues of employee retention, integrate them into the organization’s HR policy, and
support employee retention programmes.
The world’s leading Nutrition, Health and Wellness Company, Nestlé believes that its employees
are the key to its success and nothing can be achieved without their engagement. This company
is committed to provide its employees all over the world with good working conditions, a safe
and healthy work environment, and flexible employment possibilities that support a better
balance of private and professional life consistent with its ambition as a leading Nutrition, Health
and Wellness Company. In accordance with this global perspective, Nestlé Ltd. is also trying to
facilitate its employees with agreeable job satisfaction despite of facing some difficulties.
Therefore, considering the above recommendations this company may also able to add value
towards its employee. Apart from this, the survey result was quite satisfactory enough which
represents that Nestlé Ltd. is a place for work with proper work life balance, dignity, equal
opportunity as well as security for job which is at present one of the concerned issues for
employees. Lastly, I would like to conclude my report with one of the quotation collected from
one of the Category Brand Managers of Nestlé Ltd. “Nestlé provides a safe, respectable work
environment. Cordial, pleasant relationships between colleagues make this a great organization
to be a part of. Work-life balance at Nestlé is probably the best in the industry.”
The management style in Nestle is kind of participated manner in which employee are given
chance to share their ideas for decision-makings.
There are different kinds of rewards Nestle gives to their employee which are as follows:
 Cash bonuses
 Promotions make team leaders
 Increment in salaries
 Allowances like (fuel allowance, mobile allowance)
We found very different kind of rewards in Nestle that they motivate their
employees whose performance is not up to the mark by giving them the salaries equivalent to the
market values of the any other employee of same rank so as to motivate their employees.
Many of the employees are being rewarded after accomplishment of their sales
target in such a way that their management take them to the picnic or invite them
to the dinner frequently. And another very interested fact which I found in Nestle is that
their management does not fire their employees even their performance level is not up to the
mark. Overall employees are satisfied with their companies and jobs.
To some extent, they are given empowerment to do their work. Most of them agree that their
jobs are not creating any physical or mental problem for them.
But according to my opinion employees are facing job stress. It is a fact that cannot be denied
because that stress is inevitable. It can only end up with the end of life but the company deals
with this problem and provides them proper counseling.
Most of the stories have positive attitude towards their job.
If we see an overall picture, then it is cleared that they are somewhat satisfied with their jobs and
they don’t have a lot of stress on them. But still there is a need of improvement in strategies of
NESTLE to make work force more productive.
