What you will learn
This course will focus on the challenges and changes faced by human resource departments responsible for managing employee and labour relations and the role of professionals and practitioners in the creation and evaluation of the forms, structures, concepts, skills, philosophy and values that are strategically effective as they must evolve in the growing and demanding roles within organizations.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:

- Clearly articulate a comparison of the traditional and emerging roles in collective bargaining and dispute and conflict resolution of both union and management agents
- Develop and deliver an effective employee relations program in organization that is strategically aligned with current management expectations and evolving labour management trends and theory
