General Staff Meetings

This is purely from my observations during my tenure at various working stations I was involved with in my walk of life; the one and only simple avenue for employer and all employees to meet, voice and share some day to day issues, concerns and all other sorts of comments that really ticks both parts which were lingered in all types of inter office gossips is the general staff meetings.

As important and much needed as they are, and to my dismay (I know most of us are)these infamous staff meetings are rarely happening in many of organisations. And to those organisations which are keen enough to conduct these meetings, they usually do so either in case of emergency and/or the management need to announce or voice some of their concerns to employees - if not to reprimand them on some misconduct.

This is interesting part, and if during that rare general meeting some employees voice their concerns and empty their chests with a hope to get solutions or to see the results of their braveness of standing up in front of others, the much anticipated positive feedback or even the follow up meeting will not happen, only by luck the another general staff meeting will happen after a long time with other new issues. If lucky enough the brave employee will get away with anger and pay backs arising from his/her voiced concerns.

I am wondering from these observations, does organisation which does not conduct effective staff meetings encourage inter-office gossips which often divide the workforce and eventually lead to inefficiency at the work place? And do Human Resource practitioners in such organisation take notice on the situation? Do Industrial Relations being practiced in such organisations? Is there any other avenue where employer and employees can voice their issues concerning their working environment? Last and most importantly what are we (me and you) gonna do about it? Let us know your take on this...
