4.1 Solutions to wok based Problems
There are various problems which organisation faces if not
managed properly. Being the manager of Travelodge, it’s my
responsibility and duty to reduce and find appropriate
solutions for problems and issues arising in organisation to
reduce employee turnover and they are discussed as follows:
Problem of excessive workload: When there is excess of
work in the organisation I will try to allocate the work to
different people according to their skills and potential. This
will not only reduce the workload from people but will also
contribute to the smooth working in the organisation. Low
employee motivation: If employees are not motivated in
organisation then they might not feel interested towards
organisational goals. I will motivate the employees
financially which includes monitory rewards and non-
financially that is attention, enrichment, recognition,
promotions, etc. so that they work effectively for proper
accomplishment of goals and objectives.
Ineffective communication: If there is not effective
communication of rules, policies and programs then
employee may not work according to the guidelines of the
organisation. I will improve and enhance communication
between different departments and people so that proper
discussion and decisions can be taken. This is also helpful in
a way that employee’s problems will be discussed with me
and my suggestions and decisions will be communicated to
them. This will also resolve the conflict in the organisation.
4.2 Variety of communication at various levels of organisation
Communication is one of the crucial function of management
that helps a company to stay productive and efficient. It is
important between different levels of management to maintain
an efficient flow of information. Being the manager of
Travelodge it helps me to perform jobs and responsibilities. As
there are three different levels different levels in an organisation
and I am responsible to perform different duties at different
levels and they are: -
Top level management: They are the top executive members in
an organisation who are responsible for making plans and
policies for the Travelodge. In this I should have proper and
effective listening skills with due respect and understanding.
Middle level management: They are the managers in the
organisation. In this I am responsible for communicating the
rules and policies made by the top level management to the
lower level management. I should have effective
communicating skills so that organisations plans and policies
can be effectively implemented.
Lower level management: They are the people at supervisory
level and I should pose effective communication and
presentation skills for explaining them the rules and programs
so that they work in accordance with organisation.
Different types of styles which are essential in organisation are:
Style Meaning
Communication
skills
Useful in communicating policies and
programs to the people.
Presentation skills Useful in presenting the organisations
plans and programs such that they are
easily understood by the people.
Listening skills Effective listening is important in due
understanding of organisations plans and
effective execution of them.
4.3 Various time management strategies
Time management is important for personal life and career success
and it is useful in teaching how to manage time effectively and
make the most of it. Different strategies are used for managing time
by Travelodge and they are: -Prioritise the work: It means that I
should set the time for different works according to the importance
of work. One should give priority to the most important projects
first and then the least important works.
Reliable estimates of task time: I will set the estimated time
required to complete the task and will work according to that. It will
help me to finish the work in time. Make and keep appointments: I
will keep appointments according to time available so that I can
attend meetings and complete my duties and responsibilities on
time. Appointments will be made for future and present both.
