The Relevance of Employee Relations in the Modern Workplace

The perception that the employee relations function is outdated or has become irrelevant due to the advent of technology taking over HR processes is false. Employee relations are all about the art of managing and being managed, and it will remain relevant, whether in the present or the future. As work, the workplace, and the workforce are constantly evolving, so will the dynamics of employee relations.

Future Scenarios in Employee Relations

The future scenario of employee relations will depend on how successfully organizations integrate collaboration among remote and in-office employees of different generations. The kind of business one runs, the type of workforce engaged, and where one works and contributes to the organization's objectives and growth are important. What matters most is a deeply ingrained sense of collaboration.

Challenges Facing Future Employee Relations

Future employee relations are most likely to be impacted by a growing sense of inequity among the workforce regarding the remuneration they receive. The widening gap between the highest and the lowest remuneration is a serious concern for healthy employee relations. Social security, mental health/well-being, work-life balance, and a toxic work culture will be the issues that determine the fate of employee relations in the future.

Shifting from Supremacy to Collaboration

Unless we shift from the power of supremacy to more collaboration and from adversarial to partnering, organizations will continue to face disruptions. The new generation workforce will not simply listen to one-sided sermons from managers but will discuss the issues with logic and rationale. Managers need to be skilled to answer queries and satisfy people.
