Employee Relations
Employee Relations Management is a critical responsibility of both the management and human resources department. It is pertinent to establish and maintain a harmonious working environment across all roles, levels, and teams. Setting boundaries and managing expectations during onboarding creates a lasting impression which dictates employee actions and choice of relationships they build throughout their whole stay. As employees are a major asset in any company, it is vital for them to perform collectively and contribute equally to achieving the company’s goals.
