An effective grievance redressal system for Organizations


Broadly, a grievance can be defined as “any discontent or dissatisfaction, whether expressed or not, whether valid or not, arising out of anything connected with the organization which an employee thinks, believes or even feels to be unfair, unjust or inequitable.”

It can be real or imaginary, legitimate or ridiculous, rated or unvoiced, written or oral, it must be however, find expression in some form of the other.
A grievance may be imaginary, or based on insufficient, or lack of knowledge of the facts; such a grievance can be just as irritating to the employee concerned as one based upon real and justifiable causes.



Efficient Grievance redressal system should be :

•           Easily accessible and well publicized
•           Simple to understand and use
•           Speedy, with established time limits for action and
•           Keeping people informed of progress
•           Fair , comprehensive and impartial in its investigation
•           Confidential
•           Informative
•           Able to include an analysis of response time
•           Able to Inform the complainant of the proposed action
