Best Practices in Managing & Enhancing Employee Relations

Introduction

The term 'Employee Relations' refers to a company's efforts to manage relationships between employers and employees. An organisation with a good employee relations program provides fair and consistent treatment to all employees so they will be committed to their jobs and loyal to the company. Such programs also aim to prevent and resolve problems arising from situations at work. One of the most effective ways for an organisation to ensure good employee relations is to adopt a human resource strategy that places a high value on employees as stakeholders in the business.
