Fostering good employee relations
When done well, employee relations contribute significantly to a positive workplace environment, improved productivity and the long-term success of the organisation.
We can help you to build and maintain positive relationships between your organisation and your employees, creating a culture of trust and collaboration by encompassing the strategies, policies, and practices that govern how employees are treated, how conflicts are resolved, and how engagement and productivity are fostered.
What are employee relations?
Employee relations focuses on creating and delivering people practices which develop and maintain positive working relationships between an organisation and its people.
As consultants we can support and advise managers on difficult people issues and are experts in employment law. For some organisations, this means working closely with trades unions and employee representatives and negotiating with them to resolve complex people issues.
How can we help?
Different working environments create different challenges, and so too will the changing circumstances of work. As experts in employee relations we help our clients understand the forces that bring about change (from inside and outside an organisation).
We look at the impact these changes can have on people, how to align people policies to the employer brand, ensuring compliance with employment law and how to respond when an employment relationship breaks down while making sure the organisation learns from these experiences.
An effective, holistic employee relations framework includes:
What our clients say about us
Gabrielle Silver, CEO, Bioscript
“Working with the People Business felt seamless from the outset. They rose to the challenge within days of requesting support and remained flexible and invested throughout. My relationship with the People Business consultant was reassuring. They provided considered advice whilst also delivering hands on implementation support. They brought in additional consultants as needed and Andrea gave senior level counsel for the more complex programmes. I would absolutely recommend them to support a rapidly growing business as it professionalises as well as to cover HR leadership roles as needed. Thank you People Business!”
