Title: Employee Relations vs Personnel Management vs Human Resource Development

What Does 'Employee Relations' Mean?


The term 'employee relations' refers to a company's efforts to manage relationships between
employers and employees. An organization with a good employee relations program provides
fair and consistent treatment to all employees so they will be committed to their jobs and loyal to
the company. Such programs also aim to prevent and resolve problems arising from situations
at work.
Employee relations programs are typically part of a human resource strategy designed to
ensure the most effective use of people to accomplish the organization's mission. Human
resource strategies are deliberate plans companies use to help them gain and maintain a
competitive edge in the marketplace. Employee relations programs focus on issues affecting
employees, such as pay and benefits, supporting work-life balance, and safe working
conditions.
One of the most effective ways for a company to ensure good employee relations is to adopt a
human resource strategy that places a high value on employees as stakeholders in the
business. Stakeholders are people who are committed, financially or otherwise, to a company
and are affected by its success or failure. When employees are treated as more than just paid
laborers, but as actual stakeholders with the power to affect outcomes, they feel more valued for
the job they do.
Think about the last job you truly loved. Was it because you were treated like an important part
of the team? You probably had an interest in seeing the business succeed, like a stakeholder.

What is Personnel Management?


Personnel management is defined as an administrative specialization that focuses on hiring and
developing employees to become more valuable to the company. It is sometimes considered to
be a sub-category of human resources that only focuses on administration.

Human Resource Development

Human resource development includes training an individual after he/she is first hired,
providing opportunities to learn new skills, distributing resources that are beneficial for
the employee’s tasks, and any other developmental activities.
This set of processes within the HR department is critical to employee on-boarding and
retention. Without proper training, employees can not succeed. Without learning and
development of personal and professional skills, employees grow stale and stagnant.
Human resource development is the integrated use of training, organization, and career
development efforts to improve individual, group, and organizational effectiveness. HRD
develops the key competencies that enable individuals in organizations to perform
current and future jobs through planned learning activities. Groups within organizations
use HRD to initiate and manage change. Also, HRD ensures a match between
individual and organizational needs.
The term HRD is often confused with HRM (Human Resource Management) – so how
are they different?

“Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will
take care of your clients” – Richard Branson
Customers are one of the reason why organizations thrive until today, but looking back
understanding more about these businesses, you will realize that you can not have happy
customers with bad service, and service is directly related to your employees.
If you want to have a successful business, you need to understand that employees are the ones
who bring the customers in to the business as well as make them stay. Being a business owner
is hard especially if you don’t have the luxury of time. Having a great workforce can almost
always ensure the success of your brand, before considering the feasibility of the product itself.
To have stay relevant you must not always look into your product alone, but should always look
at the people who work everyday for you. As the customers may be the blood of the business,
the employees make up everything else of it.
