People are becoming more quality conscious as of their work, the products & the quality of their work life. The efficiency of each activity depends on the quality of work life of the people. Quality of work life is not based on a particular theory nor does advocate a particular technique for application. Instead quality of work life is concerned with the overall climate of work. Quality of work life will be varying from place to place, industry to industry and culture to culture

A number of factors that should be taken into account in determining wages and salaries:

The going wage in the industry and the area Although labor markets in an industry or an area may be manipulated or distorted they generally provide at least rough indicators of fair wages if they are competitive and if we assume competitive markets are just. In addition, the cost of living in the area must be taken into account if employees are to be provided with an income adequate to their families needs.

The firm’s capabilities In general, the higher the firm’s profits, the more it can and should pay its workers, while the smaller its profits, the less it can afford. Taking advantage of cheap labor in captive markets when a company is perfectly capable of paying higher wages is exploitation.

The nature of the job Jobs that involve greater health risks, that offer less security, that require more training or experience, that impose heavier physical or emotional burdens, or that take greater effort should carry higher levels of compensation.

Minimum wage laws The minimum wages required by law set a floor for wages. In most circumstances, wages that fall beneath this floor are unfair.

Relation to other salaries If the salary structure within an organization is to be fair, workers who do roughly similar work should receive roughly similar salaries.

Training and Support:. This should be followed up with support for managers managing teams that are working in new and diverse ways.

Accountability : Managers should be made accountable for achieving work-life balance goals and objectives which are linked to core business objectives.

Resourcing: Resourcing need to be made available for the implementation and measurement.

development 13

Creating a Culture of Acceptance and Encouragement :Starts with making the business case to senior management to get their commitment and leadership through role modeling, resourcing and supporting other managers to implement the work-life strategy. Focus then needs to shift to communication of business objectives, training, support and accountability for mangers and supervisors. Finally, putting the work-life strategy into practice through a written action plan, which includes an assessment of the work-life needs of staff in a particular organization or local branch, and monitoring of progress and outcomes.
