 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

My research problem was related to the “Grievances” in the Beverage industries with special
reference to “softdrink “industry. It mainly describes about the various reasons which could lead for
the occurrence of grievance in the industry that is when the employees are not satisfied with the
various facilities being provided to them. This project report mainly deals with the process whether
the employee complaint is treated fairly in the industry, and how employee show their
disappointments and injustice regarding the working condition.

I have taken the soft drink industry as the main part of beverage industry and carried out my
research in the soft drink industry. The research was conducted amongst the employees of the
industry regarding the various grievances they feel while working in the organization, what are the
points which lead them to create conflict with the top level management, and to identify the
grievance handling system which could lead to the mutual understanding between the workers and
the management of the industry. The project focused on to identify that whether the grievance
handling system leads to a favourable attitude towards the management of soft drink, and also to
know the satisfaction of the employees in the industry during grievance handling process.

The research design used in the project is defined as the “Descriptive Research” as I have performed
the research in the industry amongst the employees working in the various departments of the
industry i.e. HR, maintenance, quality, production and utility and determined what are the various
reasons which could lead the occurrence of grievance in the industry and what are the various
process that are used to handle the grievances within the industry. The sample size used is 50
employees i.e. 10 employees from all the 5 departments within the two companies of the softdrink
industry. The sample technique which I have used in this research project report is “convenient
sampling” as I have collected the data using the questionnaire method and the interviews from the
various HOD’s of the various departments.

The conclusion after the research concluded that 21-30 are more than other areas of age groups.
From the study, I conclude that the few changes in organization policies and procedures to be
increased to increase the productivity from the employees. The management has to improve the
communication part to their employees about their issues. The organization must reduce the
transfers frequently, and provides more training to their employees. The grievances were effectively
redressed in the organization and the speed and time must be increased to redress the grievance
faster and these helps to reduce the grievances in the organization. Considering the above analysis in
Beverage industry, the employees were satisfied with most of welfare, medical safety facility
provided by the industry.
