INTRODUCTIONOrganisations that are effective stays in lengthy operations and are more profitable ascompared to their rivals. There are certain traits of an effective organisation such as corporatesocial responsibility, clear directions, open communication, empowerment of employees andteam building. One of the major element of effective organisation is that it should assure that itskey operating principles, organisational structure and culture, job responsibilities are entirelyintegrated with its strategies and they delivers betterment in performance (Upadhaya Munir andBlount, 2014). Effectiveness in an organisation can be fostered through dimensions likeoptimistic leadership, strategic individual roles and organisational structures, talented workforce,effectual change management and allied and involved organisational culture. The present reportis prepared on effective organisation and consultancy process considering the case study ofWelsh Utilities Regular (WUR). This is a non-departmental public body made from a legislationpassed in 2004 that is held accountable for regulating electricity, water, sewerage and gasindustries in Wales for promoting short term as well as long term interests of patrons. It is not apolicy-making government department, but it assures that water and energy utility industries areregulated and developed according to the ministerial policies that are made in its legal duties. The report is intended to make certain changes in performance management policy ofWUR. Currently, the performance management policy provides employees an annual pay bonusabout 35 percent of their present salary. This policy was expected to help in attracting andretaining top talented workers from private sector. The chosen organisation is required to attractand retain main workers who are having good knowledge and expertise for reputed gas andelectricity firms. The board has asked to review the performance management approach of WURso that when employees are given their bonus, it should develop a feeling in them that it is due totheir job objectives and their performance which went above the set expectations and targets. Forthis purpose, Total Quality Management (TQM) has been taken into account for improving theperformance management policies of WUR.

It describes the attitude, culture and organisation of a firm which strives forproviding its consumers with those products and services which satisfies their wants and desires.This is a method through which management and staff gets engaged in the constant improvementof production of products and services. This approach is a combo of management tools andquality aiming at increase in business and decreasing losses because of inefficient policies andpractices. It is a management philosophy which aims at integrating all functions of organisationsuch as finance, marketing, production, customers service, engineering etc. for focusing onfulfilling need of patrons and objectives of organisation as well.

However,Goetsch and Davis, (2014) argued that Total Quality Management can be summed-up as amanagement system for customer oriented organisation which engages its staff for continuousbetterment.
