Employee Relations

Aim

The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to the importance of good employee relations for business success and the impact of changes which have affected employment relationships.


Unit abstract

The term ‘employee relations’ has replaced that of ‘industrial relations’ Industrial relations are generally recognised as relations between an employer and a collective workforce, typically through a recognised union. Employee relations means the relationship between an employee and employer, and this is largely controlled by legislation and is being revised and updated continuously. It is important for learners to appreciate how good employee/employer relations contribute to the success and effectiveness of a business. In this unit they will investigate how cooperation between employers and employees leads to the development of good working relations against a changing background.

The success of a business often relies on its relationships with its employees. Learners will investigate and explore different types of industrial conflict and the procedures for resolving this. It is important that learners are aware of change and keep up to date with developments in dispute procedures in relation to employment law.

Legislation and EU directives play a major role in employee relations and learners will examine how these are applied in organisations. It is important that organisations have procedures in place for collective bargaining, and learners will examine how these procedures are managed and implemented properly to avoid disputes. This unit will give learners the opportunity to study the most up-to-date employment legislation and investigate how employment involvement techniques affect human resource management.
