EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT




The base of the employment relationship is a mutual contract held between employer and employee.
Employee and employer work together to achieve common organizational goals while employee provides skills, efforts and dedication to fulfill the needs of the employer and employer provide salary and non-monetary things such as recognition and career development opportunities to the employee in return within a legal framework.
Strong employee relation is a key factor of organizational success which may cause high productivity, performances and employee satisfaction. Moreover, it can be used as an effective tool when handling grievances and labor-related matters arise within organizations.
According to the findings of Macneil(1985) and Rousseau and Wade-Benzoni(1994), employment relationships can be divided into two components as Transactional contracts and Relational Contracts.

·         * Transactional Contracts – It is a financial contract which is limited for a selected duration based on specific performance requirement

·         * Relational Contract – Contract held between employee and employer based on the mutual relationship of trust.

Employee relationship is a significant area which has to be studied when repairing and developing human resource policies.
The employment relationship may vary according to the “culture of the organization, the prevailing management style, the values, espoused and practiced, of top management, the existence or non-existence of a climate of trust, day-to-day interactions between employees and line managers, and the HR policies and practices of the business” (Armstrong, 2006)
Employment Relationship covers all the areas of human resource policies including recruitment, promotions, rewards management labor relations etc.
How to develop a strong employment relationship culture within organizations?

•    Providing development and training opportunities for employees.

•    Maintaining a strong and reliable performance management process with regular reviews.

    The human resources department can play a critical role in this process, both in terms of training and coaching managers and executives on how to effectively establish and nurture relationships with employees and in measuring and monitoring those relationships to determine whether objectives are being met.

    Employee relationship management is a general term that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. At the outset, it is important to define what is meant by employee relationship management and, specifically, what areas of the relationship will be managed. For most companies, relationship management centers around items like attracting and retaining employees.

    Common measures of the effectiveness of these relationships include time to hire, turnover and employee satisfaction. It is not enough to assume that a company or even its HR professionals know what is important to employees.

    Needs vary greatly depending on employee characteristics--age, gender, etc. As well as the type of job being performed. It is a good idea to find out directly from employees what their needs are.

    You can do this in one-on-one conversations that take place informally throughout the year, during formal employee evaluation meetings and through surveys and polls that can provide a quantitative indication of employee needs.
