To know what are the other adjudication machinery available to you for redressed of

52
GRIEVANCE
The formal mechanism for dealing with such worker’s dissatisfaction is called grievance . All
companies whether unionized or not should have established and known grievance methods
Of processing grievances. The primary value of grievance procedure is that it can assist in
minimizing discontent and dissatisfaction that may have adverse effects upon co-operation
And Productivity. A grievance procedure is necessary in large organization which has
numerous personnel and many levels with the result that the manager is unable to keep a
check on Individual, or be involved in every aspect of working of the small organization.
1. Conference among the aggrieved employee, the supervisor, and the union steward.
2. Conference between middle management and middle union leadership.
3. Conference between top management and top union leadership
4. . Arbitration.
There may be variations in the procedures followed for resolving employee grievances.
Variations may result from such factors as organizational or decision-making structures or size
of the Plant or company. Large organizations do tend to have formal grievance procedures
involving Succession of steps.
EMPLOYEE GRIEVANCE
Every employee has certain expectations, which he thinks must be fulfilled by the
organization he is working for. When the organization fails to do this, he develops a feeling of
discontent or dissatisfaction. When an employee feels that something is unfair in the
organization, he is said to have a grievance.
54
According to Julius,
a grievance is “any discontent or dissatisfaction, whether expressed or not, whether valid
or not, arising out of anything connected with the company which an employee thinks,
believes or, even feels to be unfair, unjust or inequitable.”
The best approach towards grievance is to anticipate them and take steps to tackle them
before the grievances assume dangerous proportions. Any ordinary manager redresses
grievances as and when they arise. An excellent manager anticipates and prevents them.
Managers can know and understand grievance with the help of the following methods:
1. Exit Interview. An interview of every employee who quits the organization can reveal
employee grievances. Most of the employees quit the company due to some
dissatisfaction. Great amount of care and empathy is necessary for a successful exist
interview.
3. Gripe Boxes. In these boxes employees can drop their anonymous complaints. There
are different from the suggestions boxes in which
Employees drop their suggestion with their names written on them.
4. Open Door Policy. It implies a general invitation to the employees to informally drop
in the manager’s room any time and talk over their grievances. This policy is useful in
keeping touch with employee’s feelings. But it suffers from the following
limitations:
(a) This policy is workable only in very small organizations. In big organizations, top
managers do not have the time to meet the large numbers of employees daily.
(b) Under this policy the front line superior is bypassed. He should first of all know the
grievance of his subordinate.
(c) This policy does not permit the top management to assess a superior’s skill in handling
grievance.
(d) Top management is not familiar with the work situation in which the grievance
developed. It cannot, therefore, correctly evaluate the information provided by the
aggrieved employee.
(e) Lower level employees hesitate to enter the room of a top manager and speak freely
55
In large organization, management by, walking around might be preferable to open door
policy. In this system the managers walks through the employees, observes them and if
necessary listen to their problems.
As shown in the figure, the front line supervisor is given the first opportunity to handle
grievances. If the company is unionized, a representative of the trade union also joins the
supervisor in handling the grievance. This step is essential for preserving the supervisor’s
authority. But all grievances cannot be settled here because they may be beyond the authority
and competence of the supervisor. In the second step, the human resource officer or some
middle level executive along with a high level union officer attempt to tackle the grievance. In
the third step, the top management and top union leader sit together to settle grievances
involving companywide issues. If the grievance remains unsettled it is referred to an outside
arbitrator for redressed.
Grievances are natural in any organization. These should be solved as early as possible;
otherwise they can create serious problems for the organizations, the industry and society. A
systematic procedure should, therefore, be developed to settle all grievances. Such a
procedure provides the following benefits:
It brings grievances into the open so that management can know them and take
necessary action to settle them.
It helps in preventing grievances from assuming dangerous proportion. Management
can solve a grievance before it becomes a dispute. It is an orderly and expeditious
means for redressed of grievances.
It enables the management to know the attitudes and feelings of employee concerning
the policies, rules and practices of the organization.
56
It provides the workers a formal opportunity for expressing their fears, anxiety and
dissatisfaction.
Such release of emotions helps to improve the morale and productivity of employees.
It helps to maintain cordial relations in the industry. It brings uniformity in the
handling of grievances.
It also stimulates confidence in employees and builds a sense of security among them.
It enables both the parties to settle the grievances to their mutual satisfaction.
It serves as a check upon arbitrary and biased action on the part of management.
Managers know that their actions can be reviewed and challenged and, therefore,
Arbitration

Conclusion
NTPC, the largest power Company in India, was setup in 1975 to accelerate power
development in the country. It is among the world’s largest and most efficient power
generation companies. In Forbes list of World’s 2000 Largest Companies for the year
2007, NTPC occupies 411th place.
So it had to work hard in order to maintain its position in the world and more over any
lack or mistake may give chance to private firms such as reliance torrent Tata in order
to gain their market in India
Procedures for dealing with grievances that were not foreseen or predicted through
these processes.

Overall, it was difficult to get clarity about exactly how grievance handling is related
to concepts like sustainable development. A few interviewees argued that this was due
in part to the industry’s tendency to present sustainable development in largely
positive terms that focus on opportunity and benefit, rather than social harm.
Overall, there was a strong view that the current approach to grievance handling was
determined much more by site-level relationships than by any coordinated corporate-
level strategy. There was wide-spread agreement among interviewees on the
relationship between grievance handling and community relations. Responsible
grievance handling was considered absolutely integral to the suite of activities that
aim to build and maintain relationships with local and affected peoples and other
stakeholders.
None of the companies involved in the research had a centralized mechanism at the
corporate level for handling community grievances, other than „whistleblower‟
hotlines for employees that were known by, or open to, other stakeholders, to varying
degrees. Such hotlines were usually, but not always, outsourced to an external
provider to manage the resolution process. Otherwise, the dominant trend was
devolution of responsibility for handling community grievances to the asset, operation
or business unit

Summary
According to the views of expert we came into conclusion that grievance procedure of
NTPC was made a long time ago and it has to be changed or renovated with a prod of
the time and new things in grievances procedure should be added so that scope of
grievances should have inhered .resulted in more satisfied employee and better quality
of work .being a maharaja company .the world 10 biggest thermal generation
company .should take a grievances as positive point in order to improve it working .
Currently, the industry’s dominant approach is to devolve responsibility for grievance
handling to operations or projects (rather than immediately elevating to the corporate
level or an external party). Corporate offices rarely have direct responsibility for
community grievance handling, other than in the case of escalated disputes, and are
largely responsible for: setting the policy agenda; supporting operations in their
implementation; and, providing assurance back to the corporate entity that compliance
is being achieved.
Sites with formalized procedures said they were of great assistance when community
relations sought to involve or hold other departments to account for responsible
grievance handling. At the operational level, it is community relations practitioners
who usually have front-line and face-to-face contact with aggrieved parties to
understand their perspectives, concerns and issues. From there, it is (more often than
not), community relations practitioners who work to resolve issues and, in the case of
more complex issues, involve other departments and functions in seeking resolution.

Interviewees indicated that many community relations practitioners still struggle to
involve other departments in discussions
“Certainly the issue [of grievance handling] has popped up on the radar screen in the
last 2-3 years and is the „issue du jour‟ right now … In CSR things typically build
from one level to the next. The field keeps getting moved further and further down the
road. So as things become the norm in the industry, you push deeper … I don’t see
this focus [on grievance mechanisms] going away.”
Some interviewees gave a caution on the trend towards formalization, arguing that it
may inadvertently decrease space for innovative local solutions and dialogue, which is
essential to effective „on the ground‟ grievance handling. In this emerging area, a
balance needs to be struck between formalization (through set procedures and certain
minimum requirements) on the one hand, and flexibility and adaptability in finding
some form of resolution on the other
Questions that guided the research were as follows:
“We use dispute, grievances, and complaints - whatever. We get them all and are
happy with whatever.”
“We try not to use the words „dispute‟ and „conflict‟ in our [corporate]
communication. We talk about issues management rather than conflict
resolution. There is no sinister reason for why that is. Conflict is to a more
opposing party; with the connotation of aggression.”
“I think language precedes action and precedes performance and we are getting
to that point now. We are starting to have conversations that I would have been
very surprised to see the industry having even 12 months ago.”
