A fifth (22 per cent) of large UK organisations are failing to meet key employee relations objectives, according to a survey of C-suite and HR professionals, placing retention, productivity and compliance at risk. According to the Employee Relations report by AdviserPlus, two in five (40 per cent) firms said they lacked investment in employee relations and outdated processes contributed to poor performance on some key employee relations objectives. “Employee relations functions are not an HR initiative, they are a strategically imperative part of people management. It’s not something organisations should be putting on the back burner,”. Booting employee relations, can contribute to better employee engagement and issues being de-escalated, which can lead to lower sickness absence rates, lower churn and better retention. “When a company is known for handling employee relations well, it attracts top talent and earns a stellar reputation as an employer of choice.
