Course Overview

What are industrial relations in HRM? Industrial relations(IR) is the collaborative academic field that analyses the employment relationship between employers and employees, labour & trade unions, employer organisations and the state. It includes “non-industrial” employment relationships. IR scrutinizes various employment situations, but ones with a unionized workforce.

What are the functions of Industrial Relations? IR supports and improves the mechanism of the employment relationship to protect workers’ rights. IR is an amalgam of shared interests and conflicts of interests. It concerns grievance processes, employee voice mechanisms, works committees and trade unions, collective bargaining, and labour–management alliances. IR engenders not only economic efficiency but also employee equity and voice.

What is the role of Trade Union? Unions are a substantial aspect of labour relations providing job security to workers while ensuring fair reimbursement. Union diplomats propose elevated pay in barter for workers to accept repetitive job design or risky working conditions. Unions are critical in offering insurance and guarantee to employee’s job position to remain unaffected and rewarded; job security, suitable compensation, job design, retraining and reskilling, and health and safety.

In this course from Zoe Talent Solutions, participants will explore that there is often a discrepancy between crucial business decision-making and the union delegates’ demands. To offer job security and appropriate reimbursement for employees, accords must be made between union representatives and employers.
