Understanding Industrial Relations vs. Human Resources in IT: Are They Really Different?

nidhi_khurana82
I would like to know the scope of Industrial Relations (IR) in the IT sector. Does IR come under HR only or is it a different area? If they are indeed different, what is the scope of HR & IR differently?

Hi Nidhi,

Industrial relations (IR) are specifically required mainly in manufacturing units or where the labor class forms the majority of the workforce. In the IT sector, there typically isn't a labor class, so HR can handle IR issues if they arise.

Thank you.
