What is the strategy for employee relations?
By fostering an environment that is accommodating to both parties' needs, an employee relations strategy can strike a balance between both employees and employers. Employees want recognition and appreciation, while employers want success and productivity. Both parties are going to benefit from a successful employee relations strategy.
