Dear Ms. Arpita,
Whatever i had learned in my life is purely based on my experience.
Let me give you a small example. Hope you will enjoy it.
1) A parent, who taught her child(from the child hood)
a) how to live a DISCIPLINED LIFE & its benefits,
b) GOOD DIET SYSTEM(eating healthy food where he did not expose to TASTY FOOD, which makes one to loose self control, invite problems pertaining to health conditions etc)
c) How to speak/behave with elders, youngsters,
d) How to inculcate GOOD HABITS and its benefits etc
2) A parent who did not teach anything but off late had realized that, its time to teach her child many good things which were supposed to happen when she was young. Henceforth parent adopts a method which will help/support her child understanding the facts filled with rewarding benefits.
a) If the child embraces GOOD HABITS by listening her parent advice, then its the child who will benefitted, besides parents hardwork will be appreciated by others else, both child and the parent will suffer.
b). Since the child has grown into teen or ADULT, Its takes time to make her child embrace good habits as its a time consuming process.
a) Now, replace the parent with TOP MANAGEMENT because WITHOUT YOUR TOP MANAGEMENT'S SUPPORT YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN YOUR MISSION, though whatever you had planned to do will benefit your organisation. THE SOLUTION LIES IN YOUR TOP MANAGEMENT HANDS, AS THE BALL IS IN THEIR COURT.
b) Understand your responsibilities. It is not you, who is held responsible for bring changes in your employees, but, its your TOP MANAGEMENT responsible for everything.
c) Your role is LIMITED and you can only educate your employees by taking support of TOP MANAGEMENT. You have develop a good rapport with all your employees including TOP MANAGEMENT.
d) If your TOP MANAGEMENT applies the 2nd OPTION and supports your good initiatives, then, i am sure it will take time for you to bring desired/necessary changes in your employees. Don't apply HARD AND FAST RULE and kindly try to be VERY FLEXIBLE. Dont every try to react and loose your control.
e)Try the BEST CONVINCING POLITE/POSITVE METHOD to make your employees understand the benefits of DISCIPLINED WORKCULTURE.
f) Educate your employees the DISADVANTAGES OF VIOLATING RULES/REGULATIONS/CODE OF CONDUCT etc.
e) Understand the HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY(BEHAVIOUR & ATTITUDE)
Last but not the least, If your management is supporting the workcultue practiced by your employees, then, your management is held responsible for everything..........I BLAME YOUR MANAGEMENT FOR NOT HAVING CONTROL ON YOUR EMPLOYEES NOR TEACHING THEM WORKPLACE ETHICS
If you have any queries, please free to write to me.
Good Luck
With profound regards
