IWT-Indoor Workload Tool

[Bahia Feliz]

Had a WTL on this today,basically saying this system they use to work out what time you should be out the door in the morning has been agreed with the CWU.
So if you say you might have to book over or cut off they can instantly tell by the figures for that day what time you should be out on delivery and can either agree with you or not.
Can't wait till Autumn pressure kicks in!

Indoor workload tool, hahaha, wtf is that? Porters etc, load of bollocks. It all reverts to how it used to be in the end. Take my word for it

porters and that is iwm, the iwt is just spreadsheets of the indoor work load.
regarding the original post, the iwt is just a guide and there was an ltb released a while back enforcing the fact that the figures in the iwt cant be used for conduct or in a punitive way.

Of course it does, but not in the way you think. For example, second delivery has now come back, with TNT probably doing the first one, whilst we come a distant second ,by about 4 hours in some cases. Nothing new under the sun.

Working out how busy you are going to be by traffic figures is bollox.
Last Wednesday we had 8 packet bags on our P/L round plus a York of large parcels frame but mail was less than an average Wednesday. We booked 90 mins extended due to the amount of parcels with del to neighbour etc.
DOM was doing his nut saying the traffic figures are down blah blah blah
Thursday was a reversal with higher traffic with more mail and only 4 packet bags and we finished on time .
Goes to show that using traffic figues are a waste of time its down to how many parcels you have which is the key

[loverman shabba]

management hide behind these made up numbers

Just to make it clear, I received this from my Branch Sec and the first bit below is what he sent out. The rest is the original E-Mail
POSTMAN EDIT:Added another email.
Please can you report back asap to your Area Rep or myself if you become aware of this initiaitve. Also, please seek clarification around the issue of performance management generally from your Area Rep as it is the case that more and more members are being pushed to go faster and/or being tested over and over again. Such actions could constitute B&H.

Your Area rep or the Branch will have details of the national position on "testing" members. Don't let RM get away with bullying our members.

Thanks

Unagreed Pareto/Performance Tool

It has been brought to the attention of the Outdoor Dept that Royal Mail managers are attempting to use an unagreed performance tool to measure the performance of individuals. They are stating that this tool/approach has been agreed with the CWU which is completely untrue.

Our understanding is that they are extracting information from the IWT (which is an agreed tool) to determine what the throughputs (IPS/Prep) should be on an individual basis. However the IWT is a tool to measure office/unit performance not individual performance and there has been no discussion with the CWU at national level at all on this unagreed approach. The only agreement that exists between the CWU and Royal Mail on the subject of individual performance is the Individual Performance Standards Agreement and no other.

Branches and Representatives should make it clear to managers that we will not participate in the unagreed process and register disagreement where necessary.

This should then be raised in the first instance with CWU Divisional representatives ASAP and subsequently with the Outdoor Dept if the problem is not resolved at Divisional level.

This will be raised at a meeting with Royal Mail on Monday 25th July and the outcome reported in due course.

Dear Colleagues

Please see the email from Bob Gibson below on this matter.

Reps will recall that I sent out previously hard copies of info on this issue. Please remain vigilant and challenge all and any unagreed testing methods . Remember that only the IPS agreement holds the field and if anyone would like a copy please let me know. The concern is that as traffic volumes increase in the Autumn that management will start to pressure and bully members in the absence of putting in enough hours into delivery offices.

Keep in touch with your Area Rep for advice.
