Employee Relations Partnership
How Does Partnership Work?
We enhance your employee relations practice by assigning a dedicated ER Consultant who collaborates directly with your HR team and people managers under a retainer model.
The approach to HR is continuously evolving. Traditionally, employee relations were managed entirely in-house, much like benefits and leave of absence administration—remember those days? However, a shift occurred. HR teams began to explore external solutions, not due to a lack of capability, but because they recognized that they are not the experts in every area, and managing these functions was not the most efficient use of their time.
