Dissatisfaction with the manner to control the people- In this company, there is no formal grievance policy and procedure.

The teamwork and communication over the organization between the front line and office staff or very poor that lead to the failures and poor performance to meet the target of sales.

The opportunities are not discussed by the employment problems by the management.

Some of the traffic controllers believe that the higher authorities are not supportive and they are not interested in listening or taking their employee’s views and how to improve the condition of the employment suggestions.

The employees are not happy that how they are treated and this situation had led to an increasing number of disputes as well as conflicts.

The provisions listed below are included in the agreements.

Our company’s atmosphere is warm and comfortable, thus these regulations are in place to make it an even good career place every one to be pleased to be a part of. Everyone is expected to perform & behave by our laws and regulations. The goal of these policies is to develop workers’ position ” as well as our organization’s competent capability.

With regards.

Part B

The number of claims from air traffic control regarding inconsistencies in workplace conditions has risen, and pressure is building among front-line personnel. Wages that are below the average industry and inadequate rest periods are indeed the two most serious difficulties. Long hours, a paucity of personnel, and the continuous job requirements mean that air traffic control may not get the sleep and food intervals they are due to (Kowalski& Loretto, 2017).

Day worker is entitled to a 10-rest period in the mornings, while night shifts are eligible to a 30-minute dinner break while subject to an extra thirty-minute rest period for long extra shifts, per the award. It has been heard that workers can call off the strike and seek help from the Fair work commission. This can impact negatively Safety Traffic Co.

To assist employees in filing complaints and problems and resolving them, the complaint handling process should be implemented (Rožman, et al., 2017).

It should be ensured that the complaint recording role is treated seriously. Employees should indeed be assured that grievances they register are kept anonymous, as secrecy is crucial in responding to employee complaints. The situation is kept from spreading by engaging the fewest number of people possible.

It is vital to guarantee that worker concerns are promptly addressed. It’s crucial to determine whether or not the complaint is legitimate. The circumstances should be investigated, and required info from on-site managers should be acquired. Following the investigation, a series of meetings should be scheduled.

Job satisfaction questionnaires and performance evaluations are required to learn about the interests of workers. Knowing your workers’ choices for specific judgment techniques can help them be more satisfied with the process and accept undesirable effects. Integrative Negotiations should be encouraged (Osborne & Hammoud,2017).

The outcome of the discussion between these sides will be used by management to determine whether the complaint is genuine or not. A judgment should be conveyed to all concerned parties after it has been made.

Parties should be kept in the loop about the investigation’s status and the whole complaint resolution process. It helps to make sure that the complaint is addressed transparently. This should assist in determining the next steps that need to be taken about the complaints.

Instead of providing a solution that will, more than feasible but the employees’ grievances to rest, the major goal is to find a solution that would, more than possible, put the workers’ grievances to rest. Instead of proposing a solution that will, more than possible, put the employees’ grievances to rest, the major goal is to find a solution that will, as much now as potential, put the workers’ grievances to rest.
