Safety Issues

Conclusions &

Findings

Although industry-wise it is strong, organizationally it has some drawbacks. Based on the findings the main conclusions that can be drawn are therefore stated as below.

1. Inefficiency caused by Over-Responsibility

– Work of various personnel expands beyond their original work description and sometimes overlaps

– other’s activities.

– Personnel of welfare department are posted in two different jobs. Little time for overseeing worker

problems and staying with them does not fulfill the department’s objectives.

• 2. Employee turnover and frustration due to weak salary structure

The organization has a comparative weak salary structure compared to other organizations of the same kind or above. This leads to employee frustration and increased employee turnover chance.

Frustration leads to lower efficiency in work and creates a cold internal environment which is not visible to the management of the organization but hampers or creates a drawback in many situations.

• 3. Organization would come to a standstill if key personnel turnover the job

Due to lack of decentralization of activities there is great chance of facing a time of standstill for the organization if some key personnel resign from the job.

Conclusions

• In the light of these conclusions, we recommend the following ideas for the organization to check upon and consider.

Work Study Department should only deal with worker efficiency, factory efficiency and line planning.

The Production department should have the responsibility to ensure that the layout and plan given by the Work study department is maintained correctly .

The organization should have a solid salary structure in comparison to other organizations of the same kind. This would reduce employee frustration and number of employee turnovers.

A handsome salary ensures long-term employee presence and greater ease of mind which results in higher productivity and congenial working environment.

The salary sheet should be done by the Accounts department, and the HR department would just check the completed sheet given by the accounts department.

In simple words, Jeans Care Limited has all the necessary ingredients to be a successful organization but has simple coordination gaps and

partial implementation of all of its rules and regulations, which creates employee frustration. If these simple problems are identified and

corrected then it would turn into a solid organization at its core.
