Question

Every organization needs an Enforcer because as time goes on, most employees get comfortable in their roles and unfortunately become too relaxed with the day to day tasks as well as their interaction with customers/vendors/patients/business associates. Within the organization, who should be responsible for enforcing policies? Should this be an individual or a team?

Answer 1

The position of enforcer is necessary for any business due to the fact that change over time isn't appreciated as much by the people that easily conform to the present condition without ample motivation to be able to successfully change in the light of new situations and experiences. We usually see that this causes a sense of stagnation by the employees which unknowingly start resenting their jobs and this decreases their productivity to an extent.

In order to enforce policies, there is a need for a separate department and not just one individual person of power or influence which should be responsible for the role of following the regulations and enforcing them as well. This could essentially be a subset of the HR departments, a team of the active team leaders or any other such peacekeeping force which allows a company to stay n=motivated as well as be able to change in the face of time and enforce the laws relating to productivity, output motivation, ethics and finances.
