Dear All, I am currently head (COO) of an autonomous body registered under the societies act and supported by the Government of India. We have a small team of 10 people and working under skill India Mission.
Last year I took over as acting CEO when the previous CEO resigned. The team is very old and was loyal to CEO as he was very lenient and was 60 plus of age.
It was a challenge last year to grow business due to COVID and also due to a very incompetent team. They have a habit of being babus of government department and work used to get delayed. There were no targets set, no KRA, No HR policies in place, and the team was free and was not bound for anything. However, due to slow business, I started with the introduction of procedures and goal setting with the team slowly and gradually. However to my shock one fine day when I was struggling with covid my few staff members (nonperformers) wrote to my board and chairman a mail complaining about leadership and with all false and fabricated allegations. They are adamant to ensure that I don't get promoted as CEO as my promotion was due this month. We have a grievance committee that is working on it. However, I would like to know what should be steps to control all this. The team consists of junior resources as Executive and dy managers. Kindly guide me as shall I along with the grievance committee speak to each employee and counter the allegations made or suggest.
