With employee relations, what do we specifically need to know?
Do we need to know how the system has become decentralized, as in the specific history of Fair work, Awards, AWAs and other acts?
This is what the study design details:
management practices and processes associated with employee relations:
– relationship to business objectives and business strategy
– the similarities and differences between centralised and decentralised approaches
– industry wide awards, collective agreements within an individual organisation and individiual
contracts
– the role of human resource managers in employee relations under a decentralised approach
– management styles and skills in employee relations, including their application to the resolution
of conflict.
