Employee relations
What is employee relations?
The term employee relations refers to the relationship between employers and the employees. Employee relations transcend industries and is all about nurturing and maintaining positive relationships.
Why should businesses foster employee relations?
Employee relations are central to efficient and effective business operations. This is because without good employee relations, company culture suffers, which in turn results in poor workplace morale and high employee turnover rates.
On the other hand, when employee relations are paramount, employees are inspired to not only work harder but to work for a company that supports their choices and their career development.
What are strategies to improve employee relations?
Employee relations start during the onboarding stage of new employees. If employers can show an interest in not only the employee but also making job-related processes more seamless, businesses are providing the foundation needed for positive corporate culture and morale to grow.
For existing employees, employee relations can be nurtured by helping workers manage work-life balance and also providing opportunities for performance reviews to take place.
