Industrial Relations

Figure 1


The delicate and complex issue of workplace relations has emerged in today's industrial society. Without the collaboration of workers and peaceful relationships, industrial progress is impossible. Therefore, building and maintaining positive relationships between workers (labor) and employers is in the best interests of everyone.


Figure 1: Industrial Relations


Concept of Industrial Relations:

The term "industry relations" is created by fusing the words "industry" and "relations." Any productive activity that a person (or a group of people) engages in is referred to as an industry. In this sense, "relations" relate to the contractual arrangements between an employer and his employees. Interaction between management and workers that results either directly or indirectly through a union-employer relationship is referred to as "industrial relations." 

Definitions:

There are several definitions for the term "industrial relations."

Industrial relations are "the complex interrelations among managers, employees, and agencies of the governments," according to J.T. Dunlop.

"Industrial relations" is the process through which management interacts with one or more unions to negotiate and then manage a collective bargaining agreement or labor contract, according to Dale Yoder.

The HR Employee Relations Manager is in charge of overseeing the department's employee relations activities. They create employee relations policies and make sure that company policies and procedures are followed consistently. Additionally, they are in charge of internal audits, employee dispute resolution processes, and deciding how to handle any problems with employee relations.

The School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, the United States, was the first college-level school in the world to offer HR education. A company having knowledge of labor relations, human resource management, and dispute resolution is ILR (Industrial and Labor Relations).

The Center for Human Resources was founded by Pennsylvania University in 1921. The Center wants to promote research on the strategic role of HR management in areas like employment, labor relations, public policy, diversity, and training and education. Research, regular meetings, news bulletins, conferences, and open forums are all ways that the Center achieves its goal.
