Employee Relations

HR professionals responsible for employee relations face a complex environment which has resulted from collective bargaining, law, regulations, court decisions, arbitration awards and past practices. Employee relations experts help their agencies’ HR offices and supervisors to manage delicate issues with their employees such as:

• Criminal conduct
• Discipline
• Grievances

Labor agreements touch on all these aspects of employment for employees represented by a union.
