behaviours

Recommendations

Page 11: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

30% have not passed OL Level of comprehension of written instruction could be low

When communicating with the shop-floor, use verbal

instruction and pictorial instructions to strengthen

written messages

For 35%, this is the only workplace they have worked

They lack experience of other work environments, this could

be both advantageous and disadvantageous

Provide open, accurate and timely information about the work procedures, company

policies and practices

35% have been with us for 1-3 years

Because of the specialized nature of the business, chances for moving out are limited and they could be easily frustrated

Create a career path to them, communicate it and provide

opportunities to develop them towards the future

24% have been with us for more than 7 years

This group tends to overestimate their contribution, and gets frustrated when they

don’t get special treatment

Develop special programmes to recognize their contribution, make use of their experience

and to add-value to their careers

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Even though more than 90% are aware of company

expectations, only 33% are supporting them

The ‘what’ of company expectations have been

communicated, but the ’how’ and the ‘why’ have not

Whenever communicating a company expectations, include the ‘how’ (how the process is

done and what employees themselves have to do in the

process) and the ‘why’ (why the process is introduced, with a

special emphasis on what benefit employees get)

Compared to responses ‘aware’ and ‘aware, accept and

support’, response ‘aware and accept’ is low

If the employee can be made to accept the expectation, most of

them can be pushed into supporting without much

difficulty, i.e. the key is to get them to accept

Focus on the ‘how’ of company expectations, especially how

they can contribute to the process

The awareness, acceptance and support of departmental KPIs is

higher than company and individual KPIs

More emphasis is given to departmental KPIs, which is

neither the start nor the end of the process, which makes it out

of context

Communicate and emphasize the individual and company as

well and link those two levels of KPIs also into the incentive

process

Recommendations

Page 21: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Awareness on new order acquisition is low

When the employees are not aware of the process of new

order acquisition, they tend to blame the management for low

periods

Get employee representatives in new order acquisition

process (e.g. invite for review meetings) and display the efforts by the sales team

Awareness on routine HR processed are low

When employees are not aware of the processes they will not

support themPrepare a basic HR Manual and

distribute to the employees

Out of employees who have been with the company for

more than 5 years, about 10% have said that they are not

aware of expectations There is a certain degree of frustration among the senior

employees which has led to the situation where they just don’t

care anymore

Focus on programmes to address the frustration of these

employees, e.g. getting their participation in action

committees, giving them a say in decision making, conducting

executive development programmes

Aware, not accepting group increases with tenure37% of employees in

maintenance, many of whom are senior employees, have said

that they are not aware of expectations

Page 22: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Employees believe that some routine HR processes are not

successful

This lowers the credibility of the HR Department and support they get when carrying out

departmental functions

Have a display of the achievements of KPIs of HR

department in a common area where employees can see

There is lack of trust about the employee opinion survey

When employees do not trust the survey and its use, there will be cases of misleading

answers, malicious responses and poor written comments

Work out the action plan promptly and display in

prominently for all employees to see and have regular

(daily/weekly/monthly) updates about the progress (like the

DailyMirror website monitoring 100-day programme!)

• Some important changes in management practices highlighted by employees include:• Create bond between management and employees• Improve the chance to know about attendance and

leave status• Bring in new machinery to make work easier• Provide training opportunities for all employees to

prepare them for promotions• Salary not reduced when taking entitled leave /

favouritism by HOD when approving leave• Promotions / job opportunities within ‘xxx’• Treat all employees the same way / do not distinguish

between old and new employee

Additional comments

Page 32: Climate survey

• Interest free loan facilities / reimburse MBA cost• Direct employees to do what they can do• Allocate only suitable employees as machine operators• Not to have additional events on weekends

Page 33: Climate survey

• Some of the benefits/welfare requested by many employees include:• Annual trip / family trip / family day• Increase medical allowance / attendance allowance• Give night allowance / allowance for dye house

employees• Provide transport to areas where it is not provided /

increase the distance / doorstep transport• Increase insurance benefits• Annual medial check-up for all employees• Give biscuits for evening tea• Gymnasium • Good quality uniform / buy additional uniforms is

needed

Page 34: Climate survey

• 24/7 canteen facility• Dusty condition in H/E section• Flexi working hours• Refrigerator with food / soft drinks

Page 35: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Support from fellow employees and having fellow employees who get along well is seen as

very important

More emphasis have to be given to promoting team spirit rather than to managing the

team

Invest on activities promoting team spirit such as quality circles, even if they are not

being productive in terms of actions and solutions

The basic needs such as transport, safety and physical

environment are seen as important

Since these facilities are not difficult to provide, tend to get overlooked, but have a bigger

impact, need to pay more attention to them

Aim at making the basic physical requirements the best you can offer, the money spent

on them will pay off!

Doing diverse tasks (job rotation and multiskilling) is not

seen as important

Employees might have a negative perception on job rotation, even though it is

promoted by the management as a benefit for both parties

Introduce awareness programme to highlight the benefits of job rotation and

multi-tasking; Be selective when implementing same

Family events and support for personal problems are not seen

as important

Employees are not aware of such services and the value it can add to the employees and

their families

Since both these are programmes that should and have to be carried out, have some pilot programmes to

educate employees on benefits

Recommendations

Page 36: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Having a social recognition as a ‘xxx’ member is not seen as

important

Trying to brand them as ‘xxx’ employees may not be met with

enthusiasm, as opposed to being a ‘xxx’ employee

Have ‘xxx’ branding also in T-shirts and other material

Obviously, all the finance related benefits are seen as important, but the level of

satisfaction about them is low

Since this is seen as the fundamental gain from

employment, if they are not satisfied (which would also be

difficult to achieve), frustrations will be created

Review the financial benefits to explore every possible avenue of improving the condition, at

least up to the level of the reference points

Highly dissatisfied with the chance to get information about

job opportunities within the cluster and group

This creates a sense of suppression, and turnover can be seen as a positive thing is

certain circumstances

Open the channels for the employees to get such

information

Highly dissatisfied with not having opportunities to have

fun, especially the trip

The justifications for not having the trip is not accepted by

employees and it certainly is a need considering the gender

and age of the workforce

Form a committee with some employee representatives and discuss the ground rules, get a

commitment from them to abide by those rules and let

them take responsibility

Page 37: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

There is a clear increase in dissatisfaction and decrease in

satisfaction with advancing tenure with the company

There is a breach of the psychological contract between

employer and employee

Work diligently to meet the expressed and implied

expectations of the employees, have more frequent dialogue

with employees and implement counter measures for senior

employees as mentioned earlier

There are problems with job satisfaction in UW, QA and maintenance departments

There might be specific issues with managers, supervisors or

employees in those departments

Give priority to these departments when

implementing solutions

Close to 15% of Manager/Asst. Manager/Executive groups are

very dissatisfied

This is a critical issues because this is the group who should be

motivating the others, if they are dissatisfied they wont

bother to do that

Develop and implement specific programmes to address the needs of the Manager/Asst.

Manager group, e.g. education loans, flexi time, fast-track

a priority

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

In terms of leadership and management, the responses are poor for respecting employees

and keeping promises

Both respect and keeping promises are key elements of

trust, which in tern is the cornerstone in creating a great

workplace

Managers need to be educated on this fact and constantly

reminded about its importance

Two out of three items on HR Department has received very

low scoresHR Department has a poor

image among the employees

HR will have to pull up their socks! Especially maintaining a

good relationship with employees and promptly attending to grievances

Out of 8 HR functions tested, only one (i.e. preparing for

promotions) has been received low scores

Employees generally accept HR functions to be efficient and

effective, except for preparing employees for promotions

Develop a robust system for employee development, career

management and succession planning

All 3 items on JCC has received very low scores

Employees do not trust JCC, do not believe that JCC

representatives are helpful and do not believe that JCC helps to improve relationship between management and employees

Assess the whole mechanism of JCC with the intention making it

a more practical and result oriented process and provide HR with more assistance to

meet employee needs

Recommendations

Page 42: Climate survey

Observation Implication / Interpretation Recommendation

Percentage of ‘disagree’ responses increase and ‘agree’

responses decrease with tenure

Since most of the items tested in the section do not

discriminate according to tenure, what is indicated here is

an increasing level of dissatisfaction over time

As mentioned above, solid solutions shall be provided to

address the issue of frustration and dissatisfaction of senior

staff

Percentage of ‘disagree’ responses are higher and

‘agree’ responses lower in UW, QA and maintenance

departments

There are problems with the leadership of those

departments and also more frustration and dissatisfaction

When planning action to address the issue, give priority

to these departments

20% of Manager/Asst. Manager/Executive groups have given low scores for the items in

this section

If the Managers/Asst. Managers, who need to provide leadership to creating a positive work culture, do not believe in such initiatives, it will be very

difficult to get other employees on board

Have more frequent discussions with the Managers/Asst.

Managers to emphasize the need for their leadership to improve work culture with

some training on accountability and responsibility

CONCLUSION• There is increasing levels of frustration and

dissatisfaction with increasing tenure with the company which needs to be addressed• Compared to the previous survey, the attitude has

worsened due to several reasons (e.g. cancellation of the trip) which needs to be corrected• The trust employees have on the HR services and

the JCC is low, which warrant remedial action• Even though the leadership and management style

is accepted overall, there are some issues (favouritism, interaction with employees, keeping the promises etc.) that needs to be addressed
