Employee Relations Manager

Employee Relations Managers are HR professionals who oversee the interests and positive working conditions of employees. They develop organisational policies, create employee benefits packages, facilitate contract negotiations, mediate disputes, and investigate misconduct and policy violations.

As an Employee Relations Manager you could be meeting with the CEO and executive committee to negotiate some new employment contracts, investigating a bullying and harassment complaint, writing up a new anti-discrimination policy, collaborating with the HR and Safety Managers to update the induction training program, or meeting with the state union representative to discuss an emerging issue in the workforce.

To succeed in this job role you will need outstanding interpersonal skills, an extensive knowledge of industrial relations and employment law, and the ability to resolve complex situations and employment issues.
