Employee Wellness

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced companies to rethink their way of working. Many are adopting a blended model of working from home and at the office. It was widely believed that the work-from-home experience would be more relaxed and less stressful and initially, it was.

Employees who worked from home were more productive owing to, reduced commuting between home and the office, reduced travelling to meetings and fewer distractions at the office.

Employee Relations

Employee Relations refers to a company’s endeavours to manage relationships between employers and employees. A company with a good employee relations plan or program, offers fair and consistent treatment to all employees so they will be committed to their jobs and be dedicated to the company. Such programs also aim to prevent and resolve problems arising from situations at work.

 

The goal of employee relations is to enhance relationships and collaboration in the workplace. Good leadership is one of the most important factors that attract potential employees and retain existing ones. A key focus point of employee relations is to assist line managers in truly connecting with their employees
