Employee Relations.



A sound Industrial relation system is one in which the relationship between management and employee on the one hand. And between them and the state on the other, are more harmonious and cooperative than conflicting, and creates an environment conducive to economic efficiency and the motivation, productivity and development of the employee and generate loyalty and mutual trust. -(Taylor,2015)


What is the meaning of employee relations?

The definition of employee relations refers to an organization's efforts to create and maintain a positive relationship with its employees. By maintaining positive, constructive employee relations, organizations hope to keep employees loyal and more engaged in their work.

The basis of Employee Relations.

  • Employee relations are basically about the pay–work bargain –the agreement made between employers and employees whereby the former undertakes to pay for the work done by the latter.
  • Fundamentally, many employers simply want employees who will do what they are told without costing too much. They want engagement and commitment.
  • In contrast, employees want a say in how much they are rewarded, their terms and conditions of employment and the way in which their work is organized.
  • They want good working conditions, security of employment, a healthy and safe working environment and the scope to raise and resolve grievances.
  • Conflicts of interest can arise between employers and employees on these issues, and these conflicts are resolved by the various employee relations processes.

 

 Purpose of employee relations.

The purpose of employee relations is to provide for effective and consistent procedures for rule-making, consistency in dealing with employee relations issues, fairness, processes that can affect and improve employee behavior or mechanisms to resolve differences/disputes.

The value-added outcomes that can result from good employee relations include improved morale and commitment, fewer grievances, productivity increases.

The elements of employee relations.

  • The formal and informal employment policies and practices of the organization,
  • The development, negotiation and application of formal systems,
  • The bargaining structures, recognition and procedural agreements and practices that have evolved to enable the formal system to operate,
  • The legal structure.

 Regulations & Rules in Industrial Relations.

  •     Job regulation aims to provide a framework of minimum rights and rules.
  •      Internal regulation is concerned with procedures for dealing with grievances, redundancies or disciplinary problems, and rules concerning the operation of the pay system and the rights of shop stewards.
  •      External regulation is carried out by means of employment legislation, the rules of trade unions and employers’ associations, and the regulative content of procedural or substantive rules and agreements.
  •     The regulations and rules may be expressed in collective agreements or exist as custom and practice. 

Collective Agreements.

A collective agreement is a formal agreement between management and trade unions dealing with terms and conditions of employment or other aspects of the relationships between the two parties.

Industrial Relations as a system of Rules.


Industrial relations can be regarded as a system or web of rules regulating employment and the ways in which people behave at work.

Thank You!

    Employee relation is a most important topic of HRM. When companies are thinking about the lifestyle of the employees and help them to upgrade their personal and professional life, those employees are more attached to the organization. You have nicely explained the importance of employee relation in your article. All the best.
