Answer to Question #323592 in Management for Modi Kaka

Question

Absco Private Limited is a global telecom organisation, with operating presence across

Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Of late the organisation has embarked on

embedding its value based leadership practise, across all operating entities. In the first

quarter of embedding the value based leadership practise, there has been a spike in the

number of whistle-blowing cases, especially on malpractices as well as on violation of

the organisation values and workplace safeguarding issues. Respective HR teams have

been swamped with many complaints and grievances, through a third party managed

whistleblowing / grievance channel. This is quite unprecedented for the organisation at it

has never experienced such large number of grievance and complaints cases.

A) According to you, is there a direct link between the embedding of values based leadership

practise and spike in the number of grievance and complaints cases? If so, why?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a direct link between he embedding of values based leadership practice and spike in the number of grievance and complaints cases. If proper values are embedded properly, the number of grivancies will definitely reduce.
