Redefining Employee Engagement
PowerERM
Employee relationship management is an art which effectively monitors and manages the relation between individuals either of the same team or from different teams.
More businesses are allowing for remote work or even give flex days to accommodate employees and new health standards. With less people in the office and more employees engaging over Zoom and other employee management software platforms, focus is on employee relationship management which goes far beyond whether or not you and your employees get along.
The goal of employee relationship management is to reach the company goals and HR plays a key part in the whole process.
From an employee’s first day to the last, manage employee engagement, development, and relationship throughout your entire company.
