What are examples of employee relations?

Making sure new team members fit into the company culture: A good employee relationship makes sure that all potential employees fit into the company well. It's up to the HR relations team to screen potential employees when they apply and in interviews.

Onboarding support for new recruits: They are responsible for the full onboarding process, such as welcome packs, setting up meetings with key members, and getting their equipment ready.

Providing ongoing support for employees: Employee relations continue long after a new team member joins the company - they are there to provide ongoing support in the form of learning programs, plus mentoring and coaching.

Analyzing performance: Performance is essential for helping companies to grow year on year. Employee relations teams are responsible for monitoring each colleague's performance and offering ways to help where possible. You can do this by using insights software.

Dealing with employee misconduct: Unfortunately, employee misconduct such as violating health safety regulations and harassment does happen. Teams, therefore, need a plan in place to deal with these problems.

Resolving ongoing conflicts: Disgruntled employees may argue with their managers or even with each other. Employee relations teams play an essential role in diffusing these situations and finding the best possible solution.

Exploring new ways to further-improve employee well-being: They look for new ways to further improve their employees' happiness by paying for online courses, promoting mental health days, or extra-curricular activities.

Office health and safety procedures: They are responsible for building safety procedures. They must also provide everyone with the correct training and manage everything efficiently if something happens.
