Navigating Industrial Relations in Manufacturing: Where Should I Start My Research?

My name is Sumit. I am in the last semester of my MBA in HR/IR. I have an opportunity to work on a project in a reputable manufacturing company. The project will focus on Industrial Relations. I seek your assistance in guiding me on what aspects to cover in my research and what topics should be included in this project within a manufacturing company. Industrial relations hold different meanings for workers, employers, the government, and society. Therefore, my question is: where should I begin my research and training in IR, what procedures to follow, and what areas it should encompass?

Kindly provide me with direction so that I can comprehend what is required for my research.

Thank you for your kind support.

Regards,
Sumit Kumar

Key Acts and Procedures in Industrial Relations

Kindly take a look at all the acts such as the Factories Act 1948, Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act 1946, and Trade Union Act. Handling disciplinary procedures (e.g., code of conduct, domestic enquiry, principles of justice, legal action, and grievance procedure, etc.) is also crucial. Additionally, the Statutory and Payment of Gratuity Act covers Industrial Relations.

Please find the attached PowerPoint presentation. I hope it will help you understand in designing. All the best.
