opportunity to study the effectiveness of existing grievance redressal
system in the company and suggest some valuable steps to make it
more flexible and redressal oriented under the guidance of HR

employees.

authorities of an organization through quick grievance redressal system.

system or not.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The grievance redressal system can be very effective when implemented and
management keeping in mind for giving real benefit to the employees. If this
implemented for only a particular section of staff then it will surely led to
discrimination and harassment in other section of staff.
The grievance redressal system helps in quick resolution of conflicts between the
staff members or between the staff members and the main company members.
It encourages employees to raise concerns without fear of reprisal. It provides a
fair & speedy means of dealing of grievances. It prevents minor disagreements
developing into more serious disputes.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Grievances are normally associated with dissatisfaction among employees


which related to working procedure, working facilities (Bean, 1994),
confusions on provisions stated in company’s policy (Ayadurai, 1996) and
the violation of provisions in terms and conditions of employment stated
in collective agreement (Salamon, 2000). In resolving grievances,
aggrieved employees will file their dissatisfaction through grievance
procedure and their immediate managers or supervisors are responsible to
take action within period given.

fairness when administering employee discipline.

All disciplinary actions should be documented in


a factual, nonjudgmental way.

Employees can use the grievance procedure to


resolve conflicts with management.
