About The Event
In today’s uncertain environment the need to have a productive relationship between employees and employers is paramount! IIR’s ongoing research has shown that there continues to be a lot of confusion about ‘Employee Relations’ (ER) in the region. People are unsure if the term refers to ‘industrial relations’ and ‘unions’, or if ER is something else entirely. To start then, let’s define the way that we at IIR are thinking about Employee Relations and what it means in the Gulf region.
According to Emerald Management, “Employee Relations focuses on the importance of understanding and merging corporate, management and employee needs to increase efficiency, productivity and profitability”. This definition seems pretty spot on! To help clear up the confusion, we are again offering our popular Employee Relations course, led by well-known HR specialist, Charles Wilson, a course to help you understand what ‘Employee Relations’ means and the impact it can have on your organisation. It’s a course that will help you make the most of the written and psychological contracts between employers and employees!
