Description

Course Overview:

Employee relations is an ambiguous term, but one widely used in academia and amongst practitioners. Employee relations as an area of study and practice evolved from industrial relations, and has as its primary focus conflict in the employment relationship, employment and labour law, and unions and collective bargaining. Perhaps for this reason it is sometimes seen as irrelevant in the modern era of globalization. However, management, from line management to chief executives, have often found to their shock that in reality such matters can be crucial.

This course provides an overview of employee relations issues and practices, such as equal employment opportunity, cultural and global diversity, training and development, disciplinary processes, labor relations, and occupational health and safety. Employee Relations emphasizes a thorough understanding of employment conditions and employment law to ensure fairness and productivity in the workplace.
