Maintaining a successful organization today requires a smooth and productive contribution from each member of the team. When any one member of the team has an issue, whether personal or professional, it affects productivity. Developing and successfully implementing proactive employee assistance programs is key to helping maintain the high standard of contribution. An effective Employee Relations department will add not only value to the team, but also add to the bottom line with unrealized costs in a number of areas.

In addition to maintaining state and federal labor relation requirements (See Job Classifications and Labor Law), Employee Relations may cover several other operations within Human Resources to maintain that positive employee-employer relationship. Some of the programs may include:

Counseling Programs (All levels - internal and external counseling)
Cultural Diversity Programs
Developing A High Performance Team (which also ties in with Organizational Development)
Drug Testing and Background Checks
Employee Coaching (All levels)
Employee Development Programs (which also ties in with the Competency Models and OD)
