Four Pillars of Employee Relation

• Open Communication.

they feel comfortable with their manager and fulfilled in their tasks.
• Show Recognition
Giving public praise is another great way to show recognition while also
inspiring the rest of the team. Rewarding your team properly is what cultivates a
culture of appreciation between employee and manager, ultimately inspiring your
employees to continue to work hard for you and the company.
• Constant Feedback
Offering frequent feedback to your employees on their great work and
constructive criticism on where they can improve is essential in nurturing a
positive relationship with your team.
• Invest in your employee
If an employee is happy in their personal life, they’ll be much more
productive at work, so investing in their lives at large and not just at work will be
beneficial for everyone.

Labor Union definition
 Union is a formal association of workers that promotes the interest of its
members through collective action.

 A labor union, also called a trade union or worker’s union, is an organization that
represents the collective interests of employees. Labor unions help workers unite
to negotiate with employers over wages, hours, benefits, and other working
conditions.

Nature of Union

• Employers Usually would rather not have to deal with unions because they
constrain what managers can and cannot do in a number of areas. Generally, the
union workers receive higher wages and benefits than do non-union workers.
However, Unions can be associated with higher productivity although
management must find labor-saving ways of doing work to offset the higher labor
cost.
