Ways to stem politics at the workplace


Workplace politics, whatever the reason, could hamper an employee's performance and affect team fabric. Hence it is crucial for team leaders to be able to handle such situations deftly. Rica Bhattacharyya finds out how they can do so. 


Keep the Structure Lean 



"Bureaucracy adds to the competitive and negative environment. Lean structures, on the other hand, reduce the chances of such situations," says Sudhir Dhar, senior VP & head — HR, Motilal Oswal Financial Services. 



Create Open Forums 



Dhar gathers his entire team at the start of each week to discuss the action plan. Each team member is given an equal chance to communicate, and all other members are aware of the required information about his work. "Open communication channels like these can stem the opportunity for politics within teams," he says. 



Resolve it Immediately 



If a leader sees even a hint of politics at the workplace, he or she should deal with it immediately. "Confrontation meetings, counselling and mediation can prevent major damage at the workplace," says Dhar. 



Depend on Informal Networks 



A leader should have first-hand knowledge of such through his or her internal networks. "Building relationships within the team and cross-functionally helps in building this informal network, which can keep you updated and ultimately help in knowing about workplace politics," says Dhar. 



Maintain Openness 



It is the responsibility of the leader to maintain and encourage an open and transparent culture at the workplace so that such situations can be best avoided or nipped in the bud. "If enough transparency is maintained when any team member is appreciated or criticised, an open culture develops throughout the organisation. This will leave no scope for biases or gossip," says Dhar.

24x7 Ambulance service on national highways made mandatory


Now, developers and government agencies managing and maintaining National Highways (NHs) will have to ensure that ambulances and patrolling vehicles are available 24x7. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to install vehicle tracking system (VTS) in all such vehicles with global positioning system (GPS) within a month to monitor their uninterrupted movement.

In a circular issued last Monday, NHAI chairman R P Singh has directed all chief general managers (CGMs) to take up the issue with private developers. He has cited the provision of concession agreement, where private developers are bound to provide "round the clock" ambulance service for accident victims and patrolling vehicles for the entire project stretch.

Singh has pointed out there are often complaints of developers not deploying these vehicles crucial for shifting accident victims to hospital and to get crucial first report of jams, breakdowns or accidents from patrolling vehicles. As per rules, every developer needs to deploy one ambulance and one patrolling vehicle for every 50 km stretch. At present, though 244 life-support ambulances and 245 patrolling vehicles are deployed on highway stretches totaling around 10,360 km, the deployment is inadequate. Moreover, only a small portion of country's 80,000 km NH stretch has such a facility.

The most recent global road safety report, conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), has also exposed how only less than 49% seriously injured victims are rushed to hospital by ambulances in India. "Robust ambulance services reduce fatalities significantly as the victims get immediate treatment at spot and are rushed to hospital. As per the order, in case of financial need to implement this project the fund can come from the decided road safety fund available with NHAI," said B S Singla, CGM in NHAI.

Road safety experts have welcomed the move considering the fact that 37% of countries' total road fatalities are reported from NH stretches. "Finally, the beginning has been made. But what we need is to monitor and control the facilities at local level for effective result," said Rohit Baluja.
