Dear All,
I am working as Executive HR in a manufecturing industry. We have the flat organisational structure means after Executive the next designation is Manager nothing in between. I am facing this problem in my day to day life being the head of the dept of HR I have to deal with all the people be it senior or juniors. My CEO wants me to behave sternly with some managers who report late for the duty. What should be my course of action in this situation. Please advice. How far an Executive can deal with Managers in the organisation.
Regards,
From India, Bangalore

I feel the better way out will be if you talk to them assertively
just try initiating a communication and then say that sir i was just going through the time keeping records and i saw that for last few days ur in the late arrivals zone. I hope everything is fine at your place.
Then divert the communication to I statement : just say it has happened with me too I also used to get struck in traffic n al but now on i start early from home.
:) then when ur msg has passed on to their ears just say cant help it records never wait for us I have got very scared of that red mark :) and go from there as if ur also a victim of being late and it has effected ur repo.

Helo Friends,
Good subject, won't find answer in books or B-Schools. This is practical problem for many perticularly in India where people grew in an family atmosphere respecting the elders and on other hand profession demands reprimand seniors.
One causionary note to all please be polite while dealing with such issues because these employees are need of your organization so nothing should offend them or their ego.
Best way is to bring to the notice concern employees that Management is aware of late commings and under scanning. mark late on the day before lacomers nake in muster where they usually signed for daily attendance so while leaving office they must notice they are caught.
Next step is keep muster in office of top boss whom everyone reports so they feel shame while signing muster late every day of frequently.
I hope this will some what resolve problem.
