Results Discussion with Union Representative
The FTC can demonstrate that they trust the employees by allocating important job
roles to them which requires a lot of effort. This will not only boost the confidence level of
the employees but also motivate them to perform in a much better manner as well. The
concerned organization can follow the strategy of the feedback system which will enable the
employees to convey their opinions and standpoints to the company in a much effective
manner and will at the same time help the company to understand whether the message sent
by them have been understood or not. The concerned organization needs to provide on-job
training to drivers which will help them to use the GPS and PDA in an effective manner. The
effective use of the rewards and recognition strategy can help the concerned company to
motivate the employees in a much better manner by providing monetary rewards to the
drivers and other kinds of perks to them.

Meeting with General Manager
In the meeting with the GM discussion regarding the changes that the concerned
company is likely to implement was undertaken. For example, it was suggested that it would
be much better if the GM would organize a face to face meeting with the drivers wherein they
would be able to place their suggestions regarding the intended change and also the manner
in which the changes could be integrated in an effective manner within the concerned
organization. This would not only convey the important message to the employees that the
organization has complete faith on them and is willing to take into effective consideration
their perspectives but at the same time help the company to implement the kind of changes
which are in synchronicity with the views of the employees.
