Handling troublesome employees
![]() | |
Handling Employees Can be Problematic |
An organization must have policies which are guidelines that govern how activities are carried-out within the organization. Hence, your organization should have a policy that governs human resource. Issues like standards of behaviour by employees, media for making complaints about co-workers and conflict resolution mechanisms should be clearly stated within the organization’s policy framework.
Two natural extensions of an organization’s policy are rules and regulations. These specify how each activity or function within the organization must be carried-out and usually specify sanctions for erring individuals.
Having ensured that these mechanisms are in place, it is the duty of top level managers particularly the human resource manager to ensure that any employee who behaves badly is sanctioned quickly and fairly by following the rules and regulations in accordance with the organization’s policy.
If some employees are allowed to get away with acts of insubordination, bullying or dereliction of duties without being punished; other employees will note this and act in the same manner sooner or later in the future because precedence had been set without any major consequences.
It is therefore imperative that bad behaviour is punished appropriately and that managers are consistent when applying rules and regulations as well as following organizational policy.

We Need to Replicate the Justice on Wheels Programme in Nigeria
![]() | |
Justice on Wheels Bus |
A whooping 33, 692 inmates in Nigerian prisons are said to
be awaiting trial out of a total of 48,124 (Source: Daily Independent).
Several attempts have been made by civil society and other non-governmental
organisations to draw attention to this anomaly with very minimal success.
I was just watching France24 earlier today and saw a story
about 'Justice on Wheels' in Thailand. It is a programme in which a bus is designed
as a court with a judge and moves from Prison to Prison attending to the cases
of 'awaiting trial' inmates.
For information on this concept, read this:
[b]‘Justice on wheels’ disposes 67 cases [/b]
WITH DISPATCH. Supreme Court Deputy Administrator Nimfa
Cuesta Vilches, along with Naga City Mayor John Bongat witness the disposition
of cases inside the Justice on Wheels’ bus that held court at the Naga City
Hall Compound.
A total of 67 cases were disposed of recently by local
courts inside a mobile court, actually a bus, sent by the Supreme Court in this
city last July 22, Friday.
The project, “The Justice on Wheels and the Increasing
Access to Justice by the Poor,” is a part of the Supreme Court’s campaign for a
speedy and fair disposition of justice made accessible to concerned parties
within the marginalized sector, Executive Judge Jaime Contreras of RTC Branch
25.
Contreras added that it was the first time that the court on
wheels came to the City of Naga to provide deliberation on civil and criminal
cases involving inmates and detainees in the local Bureau of Jail Management
and Penology (BJMP), disposing as many as 67 cases during its one-day stay at
the Naga City People’s Hall in the City Hall Compound.
He explained that the cases brought there were already
sorted and read prior to the arrival of the Justice on Wheels and were only
waiting for formal disposition from local judges.
The bus, which was made to resemble an ordinary courtroom,
allowed the accused and the complainant to hear the decision of their case in
less than fifteen minutes in the presence of Deputy Court Administrator and
member of the Committee on Justice on Wheels of the Supreme Court, Justice
Nimfa Cuesta Vilches.
Contreras confirmed that the presence of the mobile court,
dubbed as justice on wheels, is one of the ways through which the Supreme Court
can improve our justice system and make it more accessible to the poor.
Contreras, however, was quick to point out that the justice
system and disposition of cases within Camarines Sur and the City of Naga are
not a problem as far as the local courts here are concerned.
He stressed that there is no backlog of cases here as
compared to other provinces where a criminal charge against one person could go
on for as long as 10 years without seeing the dawn of justice.
“Our lawyers and judges here know the value of speedy
disposition of cases to the common man,” Contreras said. “As you can see, our
lawyers are highly supportive and even voluntary in their participation with
this program. This is proof of how much we value justice.”
Now: Can we get a 100 buses like these in Nigeria
over the next 3 years? 40 could be
purchased in the first year, 30 in the second and third. With the use of computers
and internet these cases can be attended to with dispatch and records of
proceedings saved and backed-up without the need for keeping paper files as
records which create delays, aid inefficiency and encourage corruption. It will
also reduce the cost of running prisons as there will be fewer prisoners and
those convicted will serve their prison terms in more humane conditions that
can better facilitate their reformation and integration into society.
In addition, it will create jobs for lawyers, civil servants,
ICT professionals and other people. It is a very do-able and worthwhile project
to undertake. Yes, we have problems in Nigeria but with a little thinking,
dedication and willingness to make things work; they can be solved or at least
mitigated.
Is someone out there reading this and willing to take
action?

Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy retires from professional football
Malaga, Spain:
Malaga's Dutch striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy retired from professional football on Monday, ending a stellar career that included stints with Manchester United and Real Madrid.
"Yesterday I played my last match as a professional," Van Nistelrooy, 35, told a news conference.
"I think the moment has come for me to stop playing football -- I have reached my physical limit," he added.
"But there could be no better way to say goodbye than this, in a euphoric moment for the club," which on Sunday won a place in next season's Champion's League with a fourth-place finish in Spain's La Liga.

Well done Ruud, I count you as one of the top 3 goal poachers in modern football; classy player for his country Netherlands and numerous clubs including Manchester United and Real Madrid. The fact that you played for these clubs shows the type of player you were.
