Workplace Relations
Workplace Relations Training
An employee relation is the effort of an organization to build and maintain positive relationships with its employees. This will help to retain employees engaged and loyal to their jobs. The organization’s human resource department typically manages employee relations. However, some organizations may have an employee relations manager. Your people are your greatest strategic asset. The workplace relations are a key influence on the productivity, innovation, skill development, and adaptability of businesses across all industries. Organisations looking to improve workforce engagement – to drive productivity growth, and create a sustainable workforce — need to think differently.
This one-day training course will explain why good working relationships are important, how to maintain them, and how to work with people you don’t like.
