Escalation in pyroll - ASK & TELL

Payroll or any operation receiving escalation from customer is one aspect of day to day work. While one of the main concern in operation is with respect to internal teams escalating and ask for support for issues which they face. Instead we see team making these issues and resolutions as part of the regular process without fixing it for long term.

Main issue of non escalation internally steams from culture to ask for help. Probably stemming from functional expert's behaviour of I-know-how-to-fix . It is true we hire functional experts in operation  because they know it. While it is very important not just the functional expert but full organisation  and learn from day to day issues.

This requires a personal behaviour understanding as well organisational cultural shift.

We can look at day to day issues from two perspective:

1. Cause of the Problem and Understanding of the active Solution for the same.
2. Knowledge level of the above.
