2.Creating and Maintaining Healthy Employee Relationships
When your employees are engaged in their work for your organization, they don’t feel the need to bring in an external third party to represent their interests. To avoid your employees seeking an attorney, a federal or state agency, or a union to communicate with the organization, management must genuinely show its employees that it listens, takes actions when concerns are raised, and treats all employees fairly. How does an organization do this? Consider:
  • What is important to your employees?
  • What encourages employee buy-in to change?
  • What should the organization do to ensure it is treating its employees fairly and in a respectful manner?
