Intervention Strategy

If I were to change one thing in my work community, then it would be the working salary of all workers. I would love to make this change since for many years my work community has paid employees less in fear of spending more on salaries something that could force products to be sold at a higher price. This will have a good impact on the company because with good salary pay; the company will be able to retain and recruit talent. According to a survey conducted in 2015, over 60% of job seekers select a position due to its pay.

With a good pay, the company will be able to attract more talents and retain them. Better salaries also enhance the satisfaction of employees (Little, 2014). For the workers to perform better, the management should ensure that they are happy and contented regarding salary. With less stress, employees manage to perform better and get more satisfaction. My work community should be paid better because it also improves the branding of the community.

I will use some ways to improve the problem. One will eliminate Hierarchical Decision-Making within the work community. When forming developmental change in the company, the decision-making responsibilities should change from being a task created for managers and rather be an activity of all the workers. The managers should understand that making of decision should take place where the information source are, which should not necessarily be from the top. Secondly, I will put more focus on group rather than on the individual. The fact that teams build organizations, a change should primarily start in groups so as to make a culture difference. Groups in an organization should contain a clear understanding concerning its mission, purpose, and goals. Groups should further carry the object and structure of the company. For effective change agents, employees should have an excellent understanding regarding the different departments in the organization. I will ensure that there is balance in the company leadership, where everybody will respect the law.

I will also improve the problem through building trust. To create open communication and change in my work community, I will ensure that mutual trusts attained. This will work out successfully through managers displaying acts of faith to the workers. I will also ensure that competition that is not healthy is eliminated. Competition should only be encouraged in cases where it motivates employees and causes improvements. Through introducing collaborative works, the organization will have a better teamwork since they will fill their contributions are appreciated in the organization. I will also encourage the community work to invest more in workers. Through investing in the workers, the workers will turn invest their talents and time back o the organization. The organization should ensure that activities of workers are reinforced through growing their skills and improving their overall wellbeing (Whelehan, 2013). This could be done through compensations and benefits, training and offering tools and support to workers to ensure efficient accomplishment of work.

Intervention strategy will also include interim control measurements. It will be crucial for the organization to know that all organization levels should embrace the role of goal achievement rather than managers alone. I will, therefore, encourage the whole organization, departments, and individuals to evaluate their performance against set goals. I will also encourage active workers’ participation.

This is crucial since workers mostly support what they contributed to building. I will, therefore, help obtain change through giving employees opportunities to actively participate in decision making and achievements of the organization. This way they will feel more as part of the organization hence becoming more loyal to the company. Lastly, I will utilize Strategic Interventions in creating change and eliminating the problem. There are cases where Strategic interventions help to create change in an organization and its association with the outside environment. The interventions could include rapid market expansion, mergers or acquisitions, enhanced or new competition from other companies or recreating relations with stakeholders.

My suggested action in creating change in my organization is salary increment. The salary increase is in many cases expressed as a percentage of broad base pay of employees. The increase will mostly represent a fraction of what the worker earns annually. Increments of salary are used by employers to improve base salaries or to grant bonuses.

The salary increase will be made possible through a compensation communication strategy. Through effective communications concerning compensation, employees will be more aware of the worth they get from their plan. With the good understanding of the benefit plan, the employees will become more secure and confident that the pay is fair hence causing more satisfaction, retention and motivation (Anderson, 2011). In general, it will be important to make sure that workers have access to information about compensation plan in clear and succinct language. This activity will create change because not only will the workers enjoy better salaries; they will also enjoy transparency within the organization.
