Thank you, Avisha, for your post. I believe this is the first time I am responding to one of your posts.<\/p>\n
Can I ask for clarity regarding your briefing periods and check-in processes? Am I correct in assuming front-line employees have time for an individual half-hour check-in with leadership, as well as briefing meetings three times a week? If so, kudos to your organization for making a large time commitment for meetings. Do you believe having these many meetings helps with clarity and morale?<\/p>\n
My organization would have difficulty with the number of meetings, not to mention the amount of time used. Is face-to-face interaction required, or are there alternate methods of communication such as email or other technological solutions? Although you quote Hughes, Beatty, & Dinwoodie (2014, p.158) regarding the importance of the one-on-one relationship, this relationship does not always need to be face-to-face.\u00a0 A quick phone call or email update may suffice depending on the leader-employee relationship.<\/p>\n
I, too, am surprised about the idea of competition within a non-profit organization. Lepsinger (2010, p. 160) says cooperation and coordination are critical to execution. What contributes to the spirit of competition? You mentioned a performance-based measurement for job appraisal and the performance improvement plan. Conversely, is there a bonus of some sort for greatly exceeding targets? If so, is this advertised in the employee value proposition? If not, what other factors contribute to competition within the workplace?<\/p>\n
I look forward to your response. Thank you.<\/p>\n
