Goals for Employee Relations
Employee relations are the ways in which a company interacts with its staff, delivers policy information and works on creating a more productive workplace. When you do not create solid policies for employee relations you ultimately create issues within your company with the potential to stop growth and affect future success. When the objectives of employee relations are properly understood, a company is far more likely to put the proper resources and time into creating good policies.
Developing policies that clearly present company information helps to create clarity between the company and its staff. This might include the proper way to submit a time card or a list of employee benefits. When employees understand exactly what management expects of them and how to work within the structure of the company, the workplace becomes much more efficient. However, when a company fails to relate important information to employees the company is likely to experience a drop of productivity as well as an increased level of turnover.
When a company focuses on employee relations they create a corporate culture. Corporate policies that focus on these relations help to increase employee retention, saving the company expensive turnover costs. Developing policies that address the needs of employees help the staff to feel respected. Such policies include unpaid leave, health benefits with counseling options and a retirement program.
There are laws in place regarding employment and the treatment of employees. Potential legal issues include discrimination in the workplace and harassment. The objective of employee relations is to create a legal framework that protects both the company and the employees while creating a productive workplace.
Employee relations activities include annual employee reviews as well as the ongoing development of employees through both training and managerial guidance. When the company and the employees work together on developing employee careers, employees benefit from a clear path to promotion and advancement in the company. The company benefits by identifying future management candidates. The appropriate training can then be applied to guide the future success of the company.
