In today`s workplaces, effective policies, procedures, and strategies are necessary to improve the relationship between employees and management, and to ensure better work output (Guest and Conway 2016, p. 381). Most employees in international organisations are individuals who share different cultures, beliefs, values, and interests (Owen 2015, p. 475). The practices of discrimination, gender prejudice, unfair dismissals and violation of workers` rights are likely to occur in such organisations (Kalleberg 2013, p. 357). Therefore, a clearly outlined set of policies and strategies should be established to guarantee proper employment practices. The permanent guidelines provide a point of reference for the administration and workers, which can be utilised in dealing with specific issues in the workplace. The paper will discuss three critical issues; trade union recognition, participation and involvement, and partnership agreements that should be covered by Acorn Group (AG) in the implementation of their employment relations strategies and policies, for the next two to three years. Additionally, the essay will make a recommendation of the most appropriate approach of dealing with the wages and salary structure to be utilised in the forthcoming years.
Issues to Be Covered in AG Employment Relations Strategy
AG intends to apply employment relations policies to solve the problems of employee dissatisfaction due to excessive control by management, inequality and special treatment of employees. In addition to that, the organisation aims at ensuring better salaries and wages of its workers, high quality work from the workforce and to maintain a positive relationship between the administration and its workers (Arrowsmith et al. 2013, p. 442). The formulation of such a scheme will require the engagement and participation of members from both sides to represent the interests of each party.
