“GENERAL SECRETARY’S VISIT TO REGIONAL HEADQUARTERS

It has been decided that the General Secretary of the Federation will visit some of the identified Regional Headquarters of our Bank to meet the officers, to know the problems & suggestions and to apprise them of the latest developments at the Bank and Industry. As a part of the decision, your General Secretary visited the following Regional Headquarters.

1.RAIPUR       –04/03/2012	3. VIJAYAWADA  - 11/03/2012
2. HYDERABAD-10/03/2012	4.  NAGPUR        - 18/03/2012

At the above centers, the meeting of the officers was addressed by the undersigned. The officers attended these meetings in large numbers. This visit has given us a lot of encouragement. The officers in these Regions expressed their strong resentment against the unconcerned approach of the Regional management. There is a common complaint that the officers are asked to attend office on all Sundays and holidays for the last 4-5 months. How long such a situation can continue? In the process the officers are not able to find any time for their family and house hold requirements.

We are surprised with the following revelation:-

Ø  Single officer mans more than 36 branches in Vijayawada region. By accommodating 23 officers at RO, least importance is being given for the marketing of our products at branches.

Ø  Undesirable deputation and favoritisms to some branches with additional posting of officers even though business mix is less, are being done in Vijayawada Region.

Ø  Local rules supersede all the rules and policies of the bank in Vijayawada and Hyderabad regions. Regional Heads are exercising the provision under 5-1 and 5-2 of the norms of transfer of officers without prior approval of CO, undermining the sprit of CO circular IRP/11-12/27 DT 22.10.11.

Ø  Branch Managers are being abused in the meeting. The misbehavior and using unparliamentary language with the BM has increased to dangerous level in Nagpur.

Ø  Single officer mans 91 branches in Nagpur zone. Have the ZH/RH given thought as to how this single officer will run the branch.

Ø  The position in Raipur is alarming. RH is not allowing the Branch managers to sleep, disturbing by late night tele calls. Here also single officer mans 20 branches.

Can such a situation be allowed to be continued? Whenever we meet our top executives, the smiles, empathy and compassion spread by them are not getting percolated down the level. Regional Heads of these regions are blocking the smiles.

We hope the Management will understand the seriousness of the above matters and will take corrective steps immediately.

As decided by our Federation in the recently held EC meeting, senior office bearers will be visiting some of the identified Regional headquarters shortly and after collecting the details, the same would be placed in the ensuing core committee meeting for deciding further course of action.

We still hope, wisdom will prevail on the above Regional Heads.

Warm Greetings.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
