GE International

"As one of the world’s most diverse and best performing global enterprises - recognized repeatedly for leadership and innovation - they offer our employees an environment where what we imagine we can make happen, developing new technologies and services to grow our businesses.

About the company

BIBLE OF GE

‘THE SPIRIT AND THE LETTER’

Former CEO Jack Welch (now retired), introduced this concept at GE. During his work period GE was prized most deal-making, cost-cutting and efficient organization. Every day, everyone at GE has the power to influence company’s reputation — everywhere they do business. The Spirit & the Letter helps to ensure that, after more than 125 years, we still conduct our affairs with unyielding integrity. For well over a century, GE employees have worked hard to uphold the highest standards of ethical business conduct. They seek to go beyond simply obeying the law — they embrace the spirit of integrity. GE’s Code of Conduct articulates that spirit by setting out general principles of conduct everywhere, every day and by every GE employee.

GE’s code of conduct

The laws and regulations governing the business conduct world wide

Be honest, fair and trustworthy in all your GE activities and relationships.

Avoid all conflicts of interest between work and personal affairs.

Foster an atmosphere in which fair employment practices extend to every member of the diverse GE community.

Strive to create a safe work place and to protect the environment.

Through leadership at all levels, sustain a culture where ethical conduct is recognized, valued and exemplified by all the employees.

It also provides other information regarding the rules and regulations of the business like hoe to deal with the government; customers etc. Employees and leaders who violate the spirit or letter of GE’s policies are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

OTHER IMPORTANT PRINCIPLE

Page 3

Page 4: Organizational Culture at GE

Six sigma

Six Sigma is a highly disciplined process that helps us focus on developing and delivering near-perfect products and service. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many "defects" you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as possible. To achieve Six Sigma Quality, a process must produce no more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. An "opportunity" is defined as a chance for nonconformance, or not meeting the required specifications. This means we need to be nearly flawless in executing our key processes.

Fair practices

Fair employment practices do more than keep GE in compliance with applicable labor and employment laws. They contribute to a culture of respect. GE is committed to complying with all laws pertaining to freedom of association, privacy, collective bargaining, immigration, working time, wages and hours, as well as laws prohibiting forced, compulsory and child labor and employment discrimination. Beyond legal compliance, we strive to create an environment considerate of all employees wherever GE business is being conducted.

Base employment decisions

On job qualifications (e.g., education, prior experience) and merit. Merit includes an individual’s skills, performance, values, leadership and other job-related criteria. without regard to a person’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, age, disability, veteran status or other characteristic protected by law.

Provide a work environment

Free of improper harassment and bullying.

Respect the privacy rights

Page 5: Organizational Culture at GE

Of employees by using, maintaining and transferring personal data in accordance with GE’s Employment Data Protection Standards and related procedures found at integrity.ge.com. (While seeking to maintain employee privacy, GE reserves the right to monitor use of company property, including computers, e-mail, phones, proprietary information, etc., in accordance with applicable law.)

Take lawful affirmative actions

In the United States, and elsewhere if required by local law, to increase opportunities in employment for women, minorities, people with disabilitiesand certain veterans.

Working Environment

Page 5

Page 6: Organizational Culture at GE

Employees’ performance can only flourish in a sound work environment.

That is why GE is committed to supporting its leadership culture through systems and policies that foster open communication, maintain employee and partner privacy, and assure employee health and safety.

Operating with Integrity

The way they deliver results is as important as the results themselves. GE seeks to lead in workplace and marketplace integrity by respecting the human rights of everyone touched by our business, and by enforcing legal and financial compliance.

Work and Life Balance

Naturally, the passion that our people bring to their work extends to their own private worlds, and GE is committed to enabling a healthy balance between the two. GE encourages our people to meet their work commitments while balancing their own life responsibilities.

To support this balance, flexible work arrangements are an integral part of the way we conduct business. The Company also offers many programs and resources to support employees including financial management, family counseling and more.

Quality of work life

GE assures complete support to all its employees on both professional and personal fronts. Apart from creating a friendly and stimulating work environment, GE also extends support to its employees in their domestic lives.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AT GE

Page 7: Organizational Culture at GE

1) Leadership at GE

GE views its leaders as an extension of HR with the capacity to communicate how each employee fits within the overall business strategy. A leader must: create a culture of compliance in which employees understand their responsibilities and feel comfortable raising concerns without fear of retaliation; encourage ethical conduct and compliance with the law by personally leading compliance efforts; consider compliance efforts when evaluating and rewarding employees; and ensure that employees understand that business results are never more important than ethical conduct and compliance with GE policies

Leadership Development

The Corporate Leadership Development group's mission is to run training

programmes to develop high-performing leaders, introduce and drive cultural

change, and spread key corporate initiatives. These programmes can be held at

business-owned training facilities like the GE Energy Learning Center in Florence,

Italy or at our head quarters in Brussels. Such facilities bring people together to

work, learn, and share across boundaries. It is also where we introduce newly

acquired companies to our culture, offering them a network of peers enabling them

to share best practices and business successes.

GE also offers intensive management training through special leadership

programmes. These programmes are designed to accelerate learning for high

performing employees, using a variety of methods from e-learning to action

learning, from boot camps to leadership summits. A core curriculum is managed at

a corporate level, but each GE business complements these with business specific

just-in time learning opportunities.

All Leadership development programmes have similar core objectives:

Educate employees- focusing on leadership, change, and Six Sigma.

Communicate and strengthen our employee's commitment to GE and the GE

Values.

Build bridges across boundaries by letting people interact across businesses,

functions, and hierarchies.

Page 7

Page 8: Organizational Culture at GE

Enhance our customer focus; build relationships with strategic customers

and other key stakeholders.

GE works at being a true learning organization - instilling learning not only as part

of the everyday work life but also counting on employees to help train their

colleagues in their field of expertise

2) Communication

GE views communication as the most critical element. The most important thing that they see with the HR function is that there always is a constant dialogue, as they don’t like to hide things in GE. GE offers several channels for raising concerns. Use the channel that is most comfortable for its employees.

GE Board of DirectorsAn employee may report concerns about GE’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, as well as other concerns, to the Board of Directors or the Audit Committee.

[email protected]

GE corporate ombudspersonThe GE Ombudsperson process allows an employee to voice his integrity questions and concerns,

[email protected]

Within the businessGenerally, the supervisor or manager will be in the best position to resolve an integrity concern quickly. However, the direct supervisor is not your only option. Other resources include:• Your compliance leader or auditor• Company legal counsel• Next level of management

Page 9: Organizational Culture at GE

3) Measuring performance

Beyond the idealized growth traits, GE also upholds four basic actions to drive performance: imagine, solve, build and lead. Stemming from those action-oriented qualities are the foundational values that represent GE and its common set of beliefs: passionate, curious, resourceful, accountable, teamwork, committed, open and energizing. This specific set of corporate values lies at the heart of GE’s unique approach to leadership development.

Ongoing appraisal processes and evaluations help to measure performance and also to sustain the values that GE leaders aim to embody. “Your ticket to entry at GE, your base premise to be a part of this game, is you have to perform and you need to have the GE values,

4). STRESS MANAGEMENT

factors such as increasing completion, corporate restructuring and downsizing have compelled employees to work for longer hours to meet their deadlines. This stress could lead to various health problems. At GE, they have professional agencies to organize regular stints of aerobic exercises, meditation and dancing sessions for employees as part of stress management. They also provide counseling to the employees how to manage work and stress.

5) ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

It is a system of shared meaning held by members that distinguishes the organization from other organizations, this system of shared meaning is, on closer examination is a set of key characteristics that the organization values.

individual effort is much more important than group or collective efforts rebels are heroes (Jack Welch was an effective rebel against most of GE's

official management practices throughout his career before he became CEO) going around the hierarchy is encouraged (this is the hidden purpose of

work-out, not team-based participation and improvement) competition is king, internally and externally loyalty is determined by performance poor performers lose face publicly communications are direct and confrontational leadership comes from individuals, not groups or teams

Page 9

Page 10: Organizational Culture at GE

At General Electric, they have all begun programs aimed at keeping women professionally engaged. The results are starting to show, as more women who skipped out on companies that did not offer them intellectually challenging work resurface at companies that do.

G.E. has women's networks, coaching and mentoring programs, and family-balance policies. But Susan P. Peters, vice president for executive development, says G.E.'s insistence that "everyone has quantity and quality to their work" may be most responsible for the fact that 15 percent of its officers are women, up from 9 percent in 1997.

Jeanne M. Rosario is a case in point. While rearing her two children, she worked truncated hours and even turned down a big promotion. But, she said, G.E. never put her on a mommy track. "They gave me as much work as I could handle; they always let me be the one to say, 'No more!' “She said. Ms. Rosario, 53, is vice president for commercial design and services engineering at G.E. Transportation, making her G.E.'s highest-ranking woman in technology.

Women’s network

The GE Women's Network (GEWN) was formed to support the professional

development of women at GE, with the mission of fostering professional women's

development to help grow, attract and retain successful women throughout GE.

Development is focused on leadership, advancement and career-broadening

opportunities in a variety of ways including information, education and networking

with other men and women to learn best practices.

GE was honored as one of the 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers.

A "Best" Company for Working Mothers.

Competitive pay and a great job

In addition to great career opportunities. GE offers very competitive compensation and benefit packages. While plans may vary from business to business, they all are comprehensive and include such things as:

INTERPRETATION

GE's success is driven by its abilities to obtain management-synergies across a broad of businesses. It is one of the most deliberately managed businesses in the world. It success is directly dependent on its creation of a process that produces generation after generation of extremely capable executive leaders. Companies without such a process will have a greater risk in following GE's strategies.

Drivers of GE's success

The ability to select from among the best practices available the ones most relevant to its immediate (2-6 year time horizon) needs,

The ability to flawlessly implement these practices,

Most important - the ability to periodically change its formula of management practices as new needs emerge - adopting new practices, ruthlessly discarding the old formulas for success before they led to weakened performance.

GE knows better than most every company in the world how to manage the life cycle of a business idea: put it in place, exploit it, and then abandon it.

GE’s operating system, referred to as its ‘learning culture in action’, entails year-round learning sessions where leaders from GE and outside companies share intellectual capital and focus on generating the best ideas and practices. Conversations about developing talent and reaching business objectives are side-by-side so there is a continuous link.

GE is very critical on their intake of talent and participates in behavioral skills interviewing in order to predict behaviors moving forward, specifically looking at how experiences people have had can translate back into GE.

GE also offers intensive management training outside of its facilities through leadership programs that maintain a curriculum for GE’s highest performing

Page 20

Page 21: Organizational Culture at GE

employees. Beyond its sophisticated development system, its leaders are groomed with depth and substance through simple and natural approaches such as consistent ongoing dialogue and ingrained corporate values paired with various assignments for on-the-job development.

Initiatives taken by GE

Imagination is the starting point for any kind of growth from GE’s view. “If you want to drive a growth culture, you have to have imagination.”

Clear thinking, involves being able to transform those imaginative ideas into clear business actions and to articulate clearly, and also be clear in terms of your strategy and where you want the business to go.

Inclusiveness is particularly important for GE given its wide-reaching global operations, but in any situation it helps to have people understand how their diverse roles fit together within the overall business scheme.

As a direct offshoot of inclusiveness comes, external focus, which is being able to expand your focus outwards.

It provides Quality of work life

The success of any organization depends on how it attracts recruits, motivates, and retains its workforce. In order to develop their talented workforce and gain their commitment GE address their work life issues.

The basic objectives of a QWL program are improved working conditions for the

Page 21

Page 22: Organizational Culture at GE

employee and increase organizational effectiveness. Providing quality work life involves taking care of the following aspects:

a) Occupational health careb) Suitable working time: Organizations are offering flexible work options to their employees wherein employees enjoy flexi-timings for dedicating their efforts at work.

c) Appropriate salary: The appropriate as well as attractive salary has always been an important factor in retaining employees. Providing employees salary at par with the other counterparts of above that what competitors are paying motivates them to stick with the company for long. Providing quality at work not only reduces attrition but also helps in reduced absenteeism and improved job satisfaction. Common beliefs support the contention that QWL will positively nurture a more flexible, loyal, and motivated workforce, which are essential in determining GE's competitiveness. Transparent work cultureA transparent work environment can serve as one of the primary triggers to facilitate accountability, trust, communication, responsibility, pride and so on. It is believed that in a transparent work culture employees rigorously communicate with their peers and exchange ideas and thoughts before they are finally matured in to full-blown concepts. It induces responsibility among employees and accountability towards other peers, which gradually builds up trust and pride

Employees comprise the most vital assets of the company. In a work place where employees are not able to use their full potential and not heard and valued, they are likely to leave because of stress and frustration. In a transparent environment while employees get a sense of achievement and belongingness from a healthy work environment, the company is benefited with a stronger, reliable work-force harboring bright new ideas for its growth.
