When these are not maintaining in between employees and management in
particularly banking sector the performance and the quality of work decreased day by
day. This is what happening in the bank where the bill crowin employed.
Bill Corwin was employed by a large bank for several years. He started as a messenger, and
then was assigned to a branch. He progressed in this branch from a bookkeeping clerk to a
platform assistant. In this position he had a variety of duties largely centring on
administrative assistance to the officers of the branch.
In order to check company quality and performance we need to maintain dedicated people to
observe and analyze the company situations and control their branches. Boost morale
employees is also important in the banking sector.
Major and minor facts of case:
Bill was transferred from the branch in which he had worked for 12 years to a
branch in another region.
At the time of his transfer he was told that the branch was completely “run
down” as to operational procedures and systems.
The branch had a normal complement of 4 officers and 35 staff members. One
month prior to Bill’s transfer, one of the four officers had retired, and two
weeks after this retirement the branch manager was hospitalized with serious
illness.
Customer complaints were rampant, there was both a record of excessive
absenteeism and excessive overtime
The branch had received very poor audit report by the bank’s internal auditors
with the same major exception reported on the previous four audits.
The two officers did not know Bill, and they were informed by the regional
office that he was being assigned to the branch as a platform replacement for
only two weeks.
During his first week at the branch Bill discovered that the senior clerks were
not qualified to train other staff members.
After two weeks Bill was called to the regional office and offered the job of
operations officer. He was told that he would receive the official title in two
months.
Suggestions and recommendations:
Principle of stability of job creates team spirit and a sense of belongingness among
the workers which ultimately increase the quality as well as quantity of work.
Order principle is concerned with proper and systematic arrangement of people and
things.
Unity of direction emphasizes the attainment of common goal under one head.
Discipline means sincerity, obedience, respect of authority, observance of rules and
regulations of a company especially in a banking sector.
Coming to case study bill crowin make some suggestions towards bill transfer in the
bank.
After two weeks Bill was called to the regional office and offered the job of
operations officer. He was told that he would receive the official title in two months.
He was also told that the present operations officer, who had held the job at this
branch for seven years, was to be relieved of all operational responsibilities and that
he would be instructed to work with Bill until the branch was functioning effectively.
Over the next three months he worked almost every night until 8:00 or 9:00 p.m. He
tried to correct the problem that had developed over several years.
The training of employees involved considerable time, and he found it necessary to
release 12 clerks who were causing trouble in various ways.
1. If you were Bill, how would you answer the branch manager?
If I were bill, I would take some necessary steps to change the branch from poor
quality of performance to good quality of performance.
First, I started to find out loopholes in the branch according to that take action on
people those who are not in a better working position over several years.
Identify whether the problem in the operational side or management system side.
After that I should take initiative to create my own work with more hours to complete
the task within span of time. Because I know my professional work capability.
I can handle this branch in better way compare to the previous situation.
This is the way to give answer to my branch manager if I were bill.
2.Did the regional office handle Bill’s transfer properly?
yes, regional office had selected right person for branch office which is in trouble.
That person was bill crowin.
Bill crowin has capable to deal with this type of situations. first bill only asked for
replacement,
When Bill arrived at his new assignment, he found a rather demoralized situation.
Complete lack of interest was shown by two remaining officers and the rest of the
staff was not properly trained or disciplined.
The two officers did not know Bill, and they were informed by the regional office
that he was being assigned to the branch as a platform replacement for only two
weeks.
After two weeks Bill was called to the regional office and offered the job of
operations officer
The regional office had a good monitoring and controlling the bills transfer.
3.What should be done by the regional office now?
The regional office should give the opportunity to the bill crowin in the branch
office.
Because he has ability to manage operational procedures and system control towards
the troublesome in the branch office.
He is having good quality of work performance to run the better way even before
work.
4.Do you believe that Bill can function effectively as a manager in this
branch?
I believe that bill doing effective work as designation of manager in the branch office because
he already proved himself as better quality worker as operational and other areas .bill
following principles of management in the bank that is why he is solving any problems
arising in the branch office. The training of employees involved considerable time, and he
found it necessary to release 12 clerks who were causing trouble in various ways. The
remaining staff and replacements started to function smoothly.
CONCLUSION:
In every organization quality of work should be maintained for that company follow the
some principles related to the management and employees. Mostly we should implement the
strict rules and regulations, employee motivation, team spirit, coordination with subordinates,
delegation of authority.S
