1.0 Management Systems
Management systems are the frameworks for processes, procedures, and policies used by an organization to achieve its objectives while performing its operations (Haight 45). An environmental management system, for instance, should enhance consistent environmental improvements within the organization. Now, whereas large organization prioritizes the use of management systems, small organizations may lack this component. As such, the members of staff are expected to adopt their own ways of doing things.
2.0 Benefits of Management Systems
Management systems have vast benefits within an organization. Some of the critical benefits in this regard include;
They promote efficiency in terms of how the resources are used.
They help to enhance risk managements.
They help to ensure customer satisfaction by ensuring that the employees and the organization at large prioritize the clients’ needs.
3.0 Contents of Management Systems
Essentially, management systems have the following components;
Planning: The employees come together in order to decide on the key areas to improve throughout the year, set targets, and them work towards achieving them.
Appraisal and Review: A management system seeks to analyze the imminent challenges and come up with ways to overcoming them.
Feedback: The systems are designed in such a way that employees receive information about their performance.
Rewarding: It helps in ensuring employee’s motivation. If there is a positive notable progress the employees are rewarded to encourage more improvement and progress.
4.0 How Management Systems Differ From OSHA Standards
The primary concern of the management systems is to ensure that the overall output of products and services is enhanced. On the other hand, the main focus for OSHA standards is to ensure that the workers welfare is put into consideration first (ASSE's Mike Belcher & OSHA's David Michaels 21). In other words, OSHA is concerned with ensuring the safety and appropriateness of the employees working conditions. In that regard, therefore, it is evident that the orientations of the two organizational stipulations are essentially different although they are both geared to ensure the welfare of the entity.
