Although The Involvement Of Acas In Forming The Policies Will Be Unbiased

Although the involvement of ACAS in forming the policies will be unbiased the effectiveness of the policies so formed will be only in its rigorous implementation, which apparently requires the organization to practice the policies as part of the work practices itself. In other words North-East Health Care can benefit through effective work practices only by embracing the company policies and procedures formed with overall business process itself. This will also help overcome the differences of 'them and us' as well as enable effective communication among the staff members.
2.5: Semi-hierarchical organization structure
Lowell Bryan and Claudia Joyce (2005) argue that an organization should establish certain level of hierarchy especially in the distribution of power and defining the extent of influence of managers from senior managers. This is essential for the effective management of the company and the staff itself that will overcome any subjective decisions by the line managers like the dismissal of the staff members in the company under consideration (i.e.) North-East Health Care. Even though the company policy clearly defines that the disciplinary action and dismissal of the staff is only with the decision of the senior manager, the dismissal by line manager proves the level of non compliance to the policies by the line managers. The work practice should thus include strict enforcement of the policies and define the boundaries of power and equity between the managers, senior managers and the senior management. The effective deployment of the company policies and the governance by the senior management focusing upon the organizational structure and information flow will help achieve the aforementioned.
Furthermore, the carrot or stick management approach that was proposed earlier is the ideal method of implementing the performance related pay by the organization. Under this approach the organization can not only accomplish the statutory requirements of the employment law but also accomplish the employment contract that clearly defines the level of the company's approach to performance related pay. In essence the performance related pay through the carrot or stick approach would become an adhoc to the payment system for the staff thus providing the security of basic pay and bonus for effective performance. This approach again can be accomplished through the contractual agreement that the company has put forward along with the company handbook and procedures. An added advantage of this approach is that not only the organization can achieve efficient staff performance but also gain the staff confidence which is essential for establishing long-term relationship with the staff members. Alongside, this will also increase the employee participation in the company thus increasing the stability of the organization.
